Happiness. It's relative.
Advent 18: Legal Beagle
My dog, Swirl, carried a four-pound Constitutional Law book up a flight of stairs and put it in his bed.
We used the book to prop open the windows on the landing in our house. These are windows that are so old they have ropes, except the ropes are broken, hence the need for the Constitutional Law book. It spent years doing its duty, its due diligence, if you will, and then, all of a sudden, it went from sitting on the ledge waiting for summer to being in Swirl’s bed.
So I puzzled over this. Did Swirl pick up the whole book in his mouth or drag the book by its cover? Either is concerning. He could kill game is the message I’m getting. Kill game and bring it back into his nest to devour. That books are his game is incidental. He is feral. We hope to think otherwise but that’s the fact. When I am kissing his face as I am wont to do, he could make me his lunch.
He thinks I don’t know this. But I do.

Kudos to Swirl’s sense of history. Maybe he should register to vote given he has better appreciation of our constitution than the President
I think he is a very smart dog and has perceived the political peril we are in. Maybe he is planning on reading you a bedtime story every night.
The timing, of course, is fascinating, that he picked the day of President Trump’s impeachment to dig out the book on constitutional law.
Sorry, didn’t mean to be mysterious on how I was on the above post. I’m “managingtechnologyink12.”

He probably knows it is worthless.
I wonder what he planned to do with the book:)
