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!
Humph.

I love you very, very much. *restrains Middy from beer, restrains self from strangling Middy* *grumbles off to grab a towel* *starts mopping up beer, which fortunately was mostly absorbed by the liner I have down* *MOSTLY* At least it wasn't an IPA. Schmoop: HUMPH.
