Through Ivy’s Eyes ~Smarter than a 5th Grader
Therapy Dog for Hire
There is no point bringing up the name change thing. I am hardly a pup. The last time I brought it up, he shot it down more quickly than a below average Joe could go for his cue cards. What world leader can’t remember his own name? It would be a small world, I suppose. He probably has it sewn on his shirttails, too. By the way, Joe those numbers next two your name aren’t to your phone-a-friend they are the codes to wipe out a sovereign nation; just not our nation Joe, not ours.
I promised him, my person that is, that I would stay off my soapbox. It’s time to let that wound heal. It needs triage if you ask me. But what do I know, I am just a therapy dog.
I know I have been allusive lately, with the pandemic still raging uncontrollably, therapy dogs are in high demand. He even started to subcontract me out to my neighbors to walk with them every day. I do it because I like to help people, besides the money is pretty good, I can make up to $.35 a mile. He only charges me room and board and for my food. Funny, I always see him is with a pocket of Benjamin’s but all I get is change. He keeps referring to them as bitcoins; crypto something, I’m just trying to figure out how to convert them to something I can eat, or better yet, buy a Tesla. Okay, maybe a Tesla is not the best choice for a first car; I heard that a German shepherd, probably Major, was nearly electrocuted when he peed on the tire of one.
Well, I have to go, my next session begins in about 10 minutes. It’s my fifth one today. I would love to fill you in on what he is working on but I’m in the dark. I have been told it’s classified. All I can tell you is I keep hearing him repeating the same equation, 2 + 2 = 4. He must be worried about a math test. All this time, I thought he was smarter than a 5th grader.
Thanks for reading, share is nice too.
