Another Friday, and Sweet Sally was filled with happiness and joy. I think if she had a tail it would have been wagging. She got to do some of her very favorite things today. Brutus and Daisy the fluffy pomeranians came in for their monthly sharing of anal gland essence. Sweet Sally loves her some anal glands. Another of Sweet Sally's favorite things is to pull fur out of dogs ears. Some of the really hairy type dogs like poodles and schnauzers grow hair in their ears as thick as the hair on mother's head. The humans really covet this trait and grab and harvest it until not even one strand remains. Sweet Sally not only enjoys it, but she's good at it too. Today, she pulled out a wad of hair about the size of my head!


Later that afternoon, she seemed especially tickled as she came out of one of the exam rooms. “That dog just couldn't help but fart while I trimmed his nails”, she giggled as she cleaned up for the next patients. “And I don't care who you are.... farts are just funny.” Sweet Sally observed. Apparently, farts are funny because this statement, said completely straight-faced, led everyone in the room into laughter. As a dog, I can fully admit that we envy you humans your laughter. As dogs we love to have fun, and live to have fun with our people – but laughter, that is something I can only dream about.

So tonight, I plan to find out just how funny farts are, while lying right next to my dad.......
