Lucy Pulls The Chair Pad

I felt a strange nibbling and pulling under my leg. I don’t know about you, but I don’t typically experience that type of sensation. Were these the peculiar symptoms of some new medical condition, I wondered?

No. It turns out the sensation was the result of my dog, Lucy, trying to pull a chair pad out from under me while I was sitting on it.

I sternly said to her, “Hey, what are you doing?”

Then she gave me the innocent puppy dog look as if to say, “What? I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m simply trying to live my life and accomplish some meaningful objectives.”

She considered my question to be an overreaction and wondered if, perhaps, I needed a time out.

In the meantime, Rachel found the fact that Lucy tried to take the pad out from under me to be wonderfully amusing. She laughed and laughed.


It is very satisfying to be able to provide some amusement for the household.

Obligated To Speak The Truth

If your doctor did not tell you the truth about some serious medical condition which affects you because he didn’t want to hurt your feelings or make you feel sad, you would report him to the authorities—and rightly so. Why? Because he is ethically obligated to tell the truth. We are obligated to tell the truth, too. We must speak with grace, humility and love, yes, but we must tell the truth.
