Reflections 9/19/2020: If “necessity is the mother of invention,” boredom is the father of foolishness! COVID 19 desperation! Ed has us headed to a dog show today to scope out dock diving. Convinced that his little boy, Roo, is a gifted leaper, he wants to introduce this athletic endeavor to him at an early age! Ahhhhh…. we aren’t sure yet if Roo even likes water, much yet will hurl himself with abandon into its mercurial depths! Being the good sport that I am, (and also equally bored), I am legitimizing Ed’s ridiculous scheme by accompanying him on this corny canine caper! Poor Roo has no say (or bark) in the matter… a victim of parental ambitions foisted upon him! But we gotta get this need for offspring control out of our system BEFORE grandkids arrive! So Roo will be our sacrificial lamb… hopefully just wet with water, not gushing blood!
