If Our Fur Child Could Talk ...

Here's What She Might Say ...

Our 10-lb. ADHD Chihuahua, Ree-Ree (Nova Marie), loves to go for rides in our golf cart.  She has her own seat on the back, a wire basket with a blanket so it’s soft.

She knows the signs and watches for them.  It begins with Mommy and Daddy putting on hats for the wind and Mommy wears perfume. Those are instant clues that must set off her “go bye-bye” alarm …

Mommy-Daddy go OUT?  Mommy-Daddy have top on (hats)?  Mommy have foo-foo?  Ree-Ree go?  Me go?  Huh?  Please?  

The whole time, she’s doing her little chicken dance bouncing on her hind legs, wagging her whole body, racing around us and twirling in complete circles, jumping on Robert’s legs, more twirling, body wagging, dancing on hind legs, jumping on me (repeat) (repeat) …

Got leash! Me come, too! YES!  Okay … YES!  Daddy got leash!  Joy, joy, joy!  Twirling circles, dance on hind legs, circles, circles, circles ...

“Ree-Ree, you want to go bye-bye for a ride with Mommy and Daddy?”

YES! … Me do! … Me DO!  Joy, joy, joy!

What? Me race, dance, twirl … to stay HOME’?  NO!  Daddy! Leash on! Leash ON!

YES! … leash ON! … Me KNOW me GO!  (Race around, make circles, dance), Show Happy-Happy! … Me Go!  YAY!

DAMN! Ree-Ree good! Joy, joy, JOY!

This MY seat … This seat mine, ALL mine, ALL MINE! … Ree-Ree guard Mommy-Daddy here.

Ree-Ree love Go … Ree-Ree love Bye-Bye.

Hey, Duke … Wait!  Look at Ree-Ree!  LOOK NOW!  No poop MY yard?  NO!  No!  No! … Duke!  ME TALK TO YOU!  No poop MY yard! GO Now!  Ree-Ree-Yell!

Hurumph … Ree-Ree Boss! … Duke Run … NO POOP MY YARD!
