Every day when I get home, Slugger is so very happy to see me. He doesn't care how my day went; he just loves me and wants to be with me.
Yesterday, a Monday to beat all Mondays, was just not a good day. I left for work early because I was not ready for the day's teaching. I worked feverishly all day to get grades ready because they were due before I left. Then after school I was to drive to Decatur. Prom will be in Decatur in April so we (my senior officers and I were going to check out the location again. We were all taking separate cars since I'm not allowed to drive them and I wasn't going to come home through Azle. When I got to my car, it would not start. Long story short I texted one of them and said to tour without me. I called AAA. They jumped my car and all was well but following good advice from my dad, I went to Toyota to have them check it out. Luckily, the new battery was under warranty so it was free. They even washed it for me.
So when I finally got home, I was very ready for a smiling happy dog who just wanted dinner and a walk. We walked first. While on our walk, Slugger attempted to eat a weird blossom thing from the weird grass blossom plant thing. He spit it out and turned to look at me, smiling. The weird wheat blossom thing was hanging out of his mouth. I laughed uproariously. He smiled and danced, and, in his way, laughed with me. I couldn't help but think at that moment, "what bad day?" And, "how does anyone live without a furry friend?"
I don't have any pictures of that moment. I was too busy laughing. But here is a picture of the crazy grass stuff. I call it that because a few short months ago it was just short ornamental grass. And now it's this:
