Yesterday TH promised we could go to the park and throw the ball for my very bored hairy child. She barks constantly and she just doesn't let up. At least now she is barking at the front of the house instead of at the neighbors behind. I think we would have animal control over if she was barking at the back yard.
So TH got home and we all eagerly made our way to the car. T was beside herself singing all the way down the stairs. I know that a lot of people might think that it sounds more like - oh I don't know a high pitched keening cry that can be heard miles and miles. But she was on her best behavior making those noises but obeying me completely (it was very very nice.)
We get in the car and she is just shivering from excitement and she is making the uncontrollable keening sound, and we wait and wait for TH to come out and join us. About 5 minutes later and I am now completely deaf he shows up starts the car and ... it doesn't start. Dead Battery. So we wait and wait as he tries to jump start the car and nothing happens. So now we have been in the car for a good half hour and he gets in and says we are not going (not even going in the car that runs.) Poor T - people say that dogs don't know that they don't get to go because they have no sense of time. But T knew she wasn't going and she wasn't going to get out of the car. By gosh you promised a walk and I want a walk.
Oh well two weeks and two days and then we can go.

Awwwwww. Boooooooo! I thought sure I would see a comment by TH defending himself. Hmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteTSH comment - my actions need no defense.
ReplyDeleteWe had a dead battery - I failed in getting it jump started & called CSAA who did get it started BUT they told me I'd need to take it to a "charging station" to bring it up to snuff. I then asked CSAA to get me a replacement battery.
CSAA got a new battery & by then it was raining AND dark. I'm sorry about no walk, but I did get the cars fixed
PS - TSH came home EARLY for the walk, so he was disappointed too.
No whining & no excuses!
