Yesterday, after Sunshine had left for Safety Town, Monster and I were just sitting and reading. The neighbor's across the street dad was over mowing her lawn. Puppy goes to the window and starts to cry. I get up, look out, only see the guy mowing. Sit back down. Puppy continues to cry, and cry, and cry. His little tail down wagging and his ears flatten back. Suddenly, I realize that he thinks the guy across the street is Papa. The guy was wearing the same type of clothes my dad wears and he walked with a similar gate. I kept trying to explain (because sure, my dog really understands logic) that this was not Papa. But he continued to cry. After about 20 minutes of crying, I called my dad and asked him to talk to Puppy. Puppy got all excited and licked the phone, then went back to the window crying. Finally, I figured the only way we'd get through this guy mowing was for Puppy to go over there. We got his leash on and headed out the door. He literally dragged me across the street nearly peeing himself to see this guy. He runs right up to the guy and then....stops. There was a look of shear confusion on Puppy's face. I explained to the guy and luckily he was super nice and easy going about it. He pet Puppy and told him he was sorry he wasn't Papa. When we came home, Puppy continued to watch the guy mow, but he finally stopped crying!
This portion of my blog is about funny things my kids do and say. Well, my furry baby needs to be included.
