apparently atlas is doing a thing!
whenever we are at the pet store and atlas is trying to eat all the pig ears – i do not love to buy them; while he finds them delectable, i find them smelly – i tease him by saying that he should make his own money so he can buy himself all the pig ears he wants.
(once, after saying this, one of the regulars tried to slip atlas $10. he told atlas that if he earned enough money, he wouldn’t need my approval and he could adopt his own kitty. atlas just licked the bill. either he wasn’t listening or he thinks everything is edible until proven otherwise.)
it turns out that he must listen to me, because i have been informed that he is going to do a thing. as far as i can tell, it is a year with atlas – stories and photos in your email every monday. he is working on the page now. i have a feeling that i am going to be involved somehow; i don’t know how he will implement his idea without me, being that he doesn’t have opposable thumbs. (i am already writing the page for him. due to the no opposable thumbs, of course. they really are useful.)
he really is a sweetheart, so i am excited to see what he wants to do.
(i am also a little sorry that i told him he could buy all the pig ears he wants. i hope he only wants one. or maybe two.)
cannot wait!
Opposable thumbs may not be all that they are cracked up to be. They do help in grabbing things, but dogs are very good at training us to do that for them.
You have a great point! Now that I think of it, he is getting the easy end of the deal here. Very clever, Atlas!
Good job Atlas. Indy, my black lab, now has his own travel blog, reviewing dog friendly places in BC. It’s leftcoastlab.blogspot.ca if you want a peek.
way to go, Atlas, do your thang!
do you recall the Bunnicula books, where the writer was the dog Harold? I bet Atlas will do just as wonderful a job at storytelling as Harold.
can’t wait to read what Atlas writes on his page:) and yes he is smart to get you to do the handy work for him (notice what i did there? hand-y? :D)
You’re so well-trained, Elizabeth!
Atlas, I think this is a fantastic idea!
