Rachel
was holding our new puppy, Lucy, on my bed.
We’re working on housebreaking Lucy.
She’s still young and, as you know, these things take time. So I said to Rachel, “Keep an eye on her,
Rachel. Make sure Lucy does not go potty
on my bed.”
“Alright,”
said Rachel with great confidence. And I
must admit, I was convinced she had things under control. After all, she said, “Alright.” That suggests she was fully aware, in charge,
and ever-vigilant. Right?
It was
literally less than 15 seconds later that I turned to see Lucy staring at me
with her innocent puppy eyes and a look of contentment as she calmly christened
my bed. For such a little dog she really
does have a lot of… um… well… uh… you know what?… never mind… that’s probably
something that doesn’t need further elaboration.
“LUCYYYYY!!!!!!!!”
I screamed. Then I said, “Rachel, you
said you were going to watch her!”
“Alright,”
said Rachel. Again, with a good bit of
confidence.
In retrospect,
as I sit writing these words, it occurs to me that I really should have seen
this one coming.
