Oh Susannah!

While McSweets is out traveling learning to speak and eat Cajun, I am home taking care of home type duties. You know, the dishes, bills, laundry and of course lil sweets aka Charlie dog.

As I am taking care of such duties I realize that McSweets is totally the alpha male and I have no chance with this dog. Take this morning for example, I am simply getting ready to go work and I open the curtains to let the sun, stream light into the dark apartment and Charlie dog disagrees with me opening the curtains. Therefore he starts to growl, bark and bite the top of my foot. Now don’t be alarmed, Charlie has bitten the top of my foot before has even broke the skin and left a nice bruise. So I get down to his level and say, “Charlie, please stop growling and barking at me. And will you please let me walk out the door without biting my foot? Now I am going to work so please be good.” I felt very good about our conversation went to work, did the work thing and came home in the evening.

This evening I made myself dinner. Nachos. Not cereal, McSweets would be so proud of my cooking skills. As I am enjoying my nachos with cheese and a dash of garlic salt (again my sweets so proud) Charlie decides, hey this would be a great time to start barking and growling again. Yay. Then it hit me like a huge light bulb beaming ever so brightly above my head…Susannah! Susannah will help me! She will entertain Charlie and keep him company! Susannah is a talker and tends to get on my nerves at times, but it’s much better than hearing Charlie bark at me.
