Now I guess I can understand why a dog would feel some shame over the nickname "Mattie Fur Pants" but at least it's not as bad as the 6 year old neighbor kids calling her "Chocolate Chip Cookie Face". Honestly, she does have a cookie face, and she is wearing the fur pants in our family so I am not quite sure what all the fuss is about.
Today Mattie complained to me for being so lazy and watching the Montreal Canadiens defeat the Washington Capitals in a game 7 hockey playoff game rather than mow the lawn. She was not impressed with the tall grass in the 33F degree dew this morning for her 7 AM "business" meeting. Tip-toeing along the edge of the driveway she was willing to squat in the 3 foot position for her liquidation sale, but then trotted all the way over to where the grass won't grow to go on conference call. When she was done she just scowled at me, pointing to her wet belly and called me a dolt. I think I will be mowing the lawn when I come home this evening.
