There we go again!
We went out for our evening walk. Or at least started to go to downtown Alpharetta. On the way, I was going to drop two letters at the post office. Jay Jay got characteristically excited when he realized I was putting my shoes on. The piddly little tail was threatening to come off – he was shaking it so vigorously when I put the leash on him. Sharmila was a little behind. So, I figured maybe Jay and Jay and I can drop the letters and then catch up with her in our stroll to downtown.
Jay Jay started pulling at the leash virtually every three steps. He needed to sniff here, put a marker there and in general would not let me cover 10 yards in one minute. Then we started crossing the road. Right in the middle of the road, he tugged hard and made that eye contact with me. “What happened?”.
Well, he had looked behind and noticed that Sharmila was not with us. He would not budge. Simply sat down on the road and kept staring at our house door. Fortunately, on a late Sunday evening, there was no traffic – else I would have had to pick him up and move him.
After failing to dissuade him, I let his leash go and crossed to the other side of the road. Nothing fazed him. He stood his ground – Casabianca style – till Sharmila emerged from the house. He waited till she drew up close to him and then he made a beeline for me!
This dog is incorrigible!
Spending a quiet evening together
This dog is officially a basket case now
This is one silly dog
His disposition changed considerably…
Taking laziness to another level
I had barely settled down in the balcony with my drink and my book when Jay Jay decided to join me. He realized that the swing was a bit too high for him. Undeterred, he backed up a few steps and then with a running start jumped up – startling me (I was not expecting it) as well as almost spilling my drink.
As if his good deed of the day was done, he promptly snuggled himself in the space next to me and went off to sleep.
If I do not keep a watch, I am afraid he might try this all by himself when we are not around. He is that addicted to laziness.
