Me: Look, Middy! Look Schmoop! I have a new extra soft blanket! Middy & Schmoop: Ooooooo blanket! Me: And it matches my pajama pants! Me: See, it's soft like the pajamas... Middy: So soft! Me: And it's fuzzy like the pajamas... Middy: So fuzzy! Me: And it's got pretty moons and stars like the pajamas... Middy: So pretty! Me: and it's....wait. What? MIDDY MEPHITIDAE, DID YOU CHEW A HOLE IN THE PRETTY NEW BLANKET? Middy: Just like pajamas! Schmoop: Humph. ( It is a perfectly round hole. I don't know how she chews such perfectly round holes. Also if you see me wearing pants with a perfectly round patch, understand she did that WHILE I WAS WEARING THE PANTS. My lil girl is very, very sneaky.)

  Middy yesterday: YAY YARD TIME. Me: Yes, yard time! With your harness so you can't do a sneak. Me: Middy? Me: Middy! Me: MIDDY *half an hour of doggedly trudging in the wake of a deliriously happy fleethound who has no intention of obeying the Old Mommy in the slightest while she makes friends with many new yards and a kind lady who offered sympathy and "she went thataway!"* Me: Middy, you stop RIGHT NOW Middy: OLD MOMMY THIS IS THE BEST ADVENTURE!!!! HOORAY!!!! One neighbor: Oh, I think she went around that corner *points towards the street where Middy usually tries to meet neighbors' dogs* Me: *dreading a possible dog fight* *trudge trudge trudge* Neighbor out with dog: Nope, haven't seen her. UPS truck driver: Nope, haven't seen her. UPS driver again (having apparently gotten lost trying to get out of dereliction): Still haven't seen her. Sigh. Heading for home. Middy: OLD MOMMY WHERE WERE YOU I WAS LOST!!! CARRY ME OLD MOMMY CARRY YOUR MIDDY SPOOOON
