A Funny Moment...

Last Tuesday Zach began his summer piano lessons, and was instructed as usual to let the dog out before we left, which he obediently did.

When we arrived home, an hour or so later, I noticed Socrates was outside the back door barking in a rather demanding tone. I immediately chastised Zach for not letting the dog back in, for which he immediately apologized. He then let Socrates in, only to get completely and entirely "chewed out" by our 9-lb. furry wonder!

Socrates looked right at Zach and barked and barked and barked in the most irritated tone. (Zach may have forgotten Socrates, but Socrates knew exactly who had left him out in the heat!)

Being the good dog interpreter I am, I translated what Socrates was saying:

"How dare you leave me outside all this time!"
"Don't you know how hot it is out there?!"
"I can't believe you forgot about me!"

We all howled with laughter! (And I don't think Zach will forget and leave the dog outside again--at least for a while!)
