Today was a day much like big days. Like a wedding day or Christmas day. It was full of anticipation and big moments. I got out of work early for the holiday and had to drop Dukie off at his vacation home down the street. Sometimes I swear he loves that place more than me!
So anyway, I come pick him up at lunch and take him thru the rain to his little hotel (the vet). I was sitting there wondering if he was going to miss me, but my wondering soon came to an end. He trotted over, wagging his tail with that look that says he is just so happy Im looking at him. Before I could even return the love, he piddled right across my shoe! In that moment I knew his first Christmas gift to me was given and I should be thankful for it.
Of course as you know, on big days like a puppys first christmas gift, something has to go wrong also. I went to a special sandwich shop (that I happen to love) to celibrate the evening. I got my sandwich and my drink. Much to my dismay, when I tried to take a drink thru the straw, I found myself getting half a mouthful of obnoxious bubbles and half a mouthful of soda. Blasted faulty straws. They have ONE simple task! One job! Its entire purpose is to transport liquid from the cup to my mouth! It doesnt even have to be self-powered and yet STILL it could not accomplish its ONE goal! Fear not! I promptly put it in its place. I flipped that sucker upside down and BAM a working straw!
The moral my friends: Never fear, even on big days not everything goes perfect but a little improvising is all it takes to make the day right again!
