The other day, my little dog chewed my eraser and ruler. She’s so adorable. It was her way of saying “Get my breakfast or pay the price.” My True Love (TL) joked that she had my measure. Unfortunately, he’s the one that has my measure.
My TL says that I am like a fierce little dog. When the little dog sees a person (in my case, a government spokesperson) walking past the house, a frisson of excitement issues from the little dog as it prepares to take on its larger foe and a volley of furious barking ensues. The little dog is so proud when its barking sends off the (completely oblivious) offender. It’s sport, it’s fun. Okay, I do admit to getting rather furious in defense of my position (ie. good public policy). However, sometimes a little impulse control wouldn’t go astray. So I’ve amended my last blog post so that it is more in keeping with a calmer, bigger dog.
Notice too, how I’ve issued this advice/apology on a Saturday when there are fewer passers-by (readers).
Woof, woof.
Kind Regards.
Tracy.

Your description of yourself as a fierce little dog reminds me very much of my mother.

You should write a book about your mum, Liz.

My mother does appear in various poems and short stories. I’ve never thought of a book-length work about her. Thank you for the suggestion!

Occasionally, those fierce little dogs are needed to keep an eye on the wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Emphasis on “occasionally”, Heather. 😄 At least within the family, debates are very lively.

I think we either pick dogs who are like us or our dogs show us ourselves. I’m not sure which. I AM like Bear. She knows it, I know it.
