Book Review

Good Tuesday morning friends! The sun in shining and the forecast is calling for 70 degree temps. A much better change from yesterday's rain.

Speaking of rain, the wet stuff came down all day yesterday. When it rains, Lulu and I are stuck inside all day with nothing to do but twiddle our paws in boredom. After watching re-runs of Animal Planet all morning, we decided to entertain ourselves in another way: by reading and reviewing Mom's brand-new Runner's World magazine that had just come in the mail. We thought we'd give it a read before Mom had a chance to look at it, and give her our reviews. Maybe mark the articles that were good and let her know of the ones she can skip to save her some time - after all, Mom is a busy woman. I'm sad to report that our efforts were not appreciated.

Lu uses her super dog leap to get her paws up to the counter top and drag the magazine down to my reading level. We read the first article entitled: "How Many Calories are you really burning?" Total snooze fest. However, we decide not to judge a book by its cover and move on to the next article: "Spring 2010 Running Shoe Guide." Another snoozer. We decide to give it one final shot and turn to an article entitled: "I'm a Runner: Sarah Palin". Are you freaking kidding me? Who wants to read about this broad? As president of the democractic dogs of America, I sure as heck don't.

I make the executive decision that there is nothing worthy for Mom to read in this Runner's World Magazine. Lulu and I decide to save Mom the time of disposing of this magazine, and do it ourselves.


I eagerly awaited Mom to get home so I could be rewarded with pork ears for my good faith efforts. Instead, I got put in time out. It must be that time of the month.
