I confess I almost skipped this week’s prompt from Carrot Ranch. I am not interested in a bunch of diatribes against our leadership. The only thing I am really interested in these days are chocolate and an uninterrupted nights sleep.
But then I decided I can continue to be me, write something lighter, more on the fun side and not read the rest.
“Sherlock-in-Charge”
Time for my every ten-minutes check on the family. Dad was still staring morosely at a blank television screen. My boy was fixated on a screen and clicking on a mouse. I don’t know why he called it that, it sure wasn’t a mouse. Mom was wiping down the kitchen counter for the eighth time, no sign of her cooking bacon. Darn. I decided it was time to take charge. I grabbed my leash from its hook and started barking and jumping around. “Great idea Sherlock,” said Mom and she yelled out “time for a family walk, right now!”
Let’s face it, in many homes pets rule the roost! (The pictures are of the the same dog, different hairstyles, he likes to mix it up 🙂 )
Stay Safe!

Dogs are doing just fine these days as near as I can tell, and their families too that join in on the walks. Great point of view! Good on the dog for his frequent checkins.

I agree pets are totally in charge. They certainly are in our house. And during these torrid times, what a great thing to do by going on a family walk. Hopefully, the humans in the family will talk to each other while keeping their social distancing from other humans. I hope the walk was a good one.

Always be you! And what a clever dog. He knows what his family needs (I laughed at the counter wiping without evidence of bacon.).
