note to dog

[chanter1944]

Dear Bosco,
When the goofy human packmate is lying on the floor, it means I'm either a) searching for something that's rolled waaaay under a piece of furniture, or b) exercising. If b), and leg-lifts are involved, there is no need to get the puppy super zoomies and spin a frenetic skidding circle around my head, or to run underneath my legs while I'm lifting them*. Yes, to you, human on the floor means play!, but to me, it means losing ten pounds. Sorry, fuzzball. Cracked me up, though.
Love,
the goofy human packmate with the weird music

*No, this sort of leg-lifting is not the same for canines as it is for humans. Totally different cultural norm there, I'm glad to say.

HEE. Yeah, our dogs have always had that mindset too. My mom used to give up on morning exercises because our basset hound Nora would sit over her and lick her face.

Awww. He gets fascinated with sit-ups, too. He's right there in my face going 'the heck are you doing? Sniff! Wagwagwag! Play?' And I'm trying to shoo him out of my ear and haul myself off the floor at the same time. Goofy dogs. :)
