WOW! San Saba loves, did old mom nature try to drown us last week or blow us off the face of the earth? I thought mom was playing hide and seek with the porch chairs and then hide and seek with us as we sheltered in the laundry room because it has no windows! I have decided I don’t mind rain, but storms are only good if they serve hamburgers and French fries!
Mom has decided I came installed with some sort of cat radar because I will be barking like an insane dachshund at apparently nothing when suddenly a cat will appear 10 houses down the street from us! Mom shakes her head and says… “even if I did get new glasses, I’d not have known that cat was lurking there!” I just smile and say… “you are not a dachshund!”
I don’t know if many of you know between mom, Patches, Herman, and myself, we have over 20 years of newspaper experience in newspaper column writing. What I find hilarious is mom began writing for the Baytown Sun, and part of her column was sharing her recipes. Um, that would all be well and good if mom could cook, but you guys would find school paste tastier than most things she never cooks! Yes, you heard me right; mom does not really cook! Hey, no judgment here; perhaps she was a different mom back then. Besides, I do not want to shackle the cackle in my chicken! I love it so much, and she does cook it! There was an original point to this, and it was we have been sharing our lives in print for a very long time and for most of that time, it is the long dogs who have done it. There is something magical about life through the eyes and heart of a dog. I have one wish…that more humans would see that, understand it and take it into their own heart. We cannot house ourselves, feed ourselves, provide our own medical care, make sure we do not run the streets, are loved as we so deserve to be. I am a very lucky dog…I am one of the Snoopy's of the world, and I have my very own Charlie Brown to love me more than her own life…I wish that for all!
I love you, San Saba; and that which does not blow us away, float us down the road, or destroy us makes us smile and say… thank you! Have an incredible week, don’t accept a dinner invitation from mom, and stay safe!
Love, Lenny
