Sully’s Great Adventures (VI)

~ Live & Learn

5:45 a.m. Grandpa had to roust me from bed this morning. i was so sleepy. it was so warm under the covers. while he was getting ready, i crawled back in my little bed in his office. Grandpa picked me up and took me downstairs and put on my rain jacket.

i ran into my crate hoping he would change his mind about this walking thing. it’s way too early. Grandpa never changes his mind. he is always right. so, off we went. Grandpa took me off leash and told me “if there was any funny business, i would be locked in my crate all day.” I looked up at him and gave him my sad eyes. He would never do that to me. i went running down the beach ahead of Grandpa. Grandpa saw me limping and asked what was wrong. i tried to pull out the thorn that lodged itself in my paw with my teeth. I couldn’t get it. Grandpa grabbed my paw and tried to pull on it. he asked me if “it was a thorn or a body part that should be attached.” i told him not to be silly. i barked at him to tell him to pull harder. Grandpa reefed on it so hard, i thought he tore my paw from the rest of my body. i walked a bit and didn’t feel the needles pricking at me anymore. i felt great and i barked at Grandpa to tell him “good job Grandpa.” i love my Grandpa. he’s my hero!

  5. We know that scenario! Can’t they become wimps in a split second if they get a thorn and then they’re all sucky (until the thorn is out and then they’re holy terrors again). They’re so lovable though. What can you do?!

          5. 😬 Well, there’s always “chapeau” which, um, would suit Sully the Frenchie, but nowhere did I see an ad for “Sou’wester chapeau” — they all said “rain hat”!!

  9. Thought not 😀
    Why does my dog think I’m a villain? Yes I do unpleasant things to her eyes and ears and am the arch bather, but that shouldn’t cancel out all my devoted service as walker and food provider!
