The Woman is Crazy I say! Crazy!

This morning Mom shoved Pennie and I out into the frigid Arctic Air to take care of our Toileting Needs. She came out with us and proceeded to bag up some Poopsicles.

"How Lovely," I thought. "Mom is storing some Poopsicles for Pennie and I for the summer. How nice it will be on a scorching day this summer when Mom pulls a refreshing Poopsicle out of the freezer."

I was aghast when I saw that Mom threw all of the Poopsicles away! In the trash!

When Mom went inside Pennie and I rushed in as well. Nope. Our way was barred. Mom forced us back out. She had noticed that in the frigid air we had just "made the motions" and had not really taken care of business. Curse that Woman! She went in and grabbed some small treats and threw them in the back yard as motivation. We were forced to stay outside until Mom could clearly see (which she could, by reason of her recent Poopsicle Clearing) that Business had indeed been finished.

Middle Lad and Dad are today, in this Arctic Air, venturing forth for an Outdoor Boy Scout Activity called the Klondike. Mom made sure that Middle Lad (she let Dad fend for himself, because he is a grown-up) had: Snow Pants, Long Underwear, Hand Warmers, Foot Warmers, Thermal Socks, Fake-Fur Hat, Snow Boots, Winter Coat. and some Kibble for lunch.

Me? Mulligan? I have to go outside with nothing but my collar on!
