It is around my house.
This is the sordid tale.
Well, not for me per se, but my pooch (and no, that’s not a euphemism). Ya see, her Highness the Dalmatian Sagan, wears a collar that always gets too loose. No matter how much it’s constantly re-tightened, it ends up hanging around her neck like a scarf or something. And my soon-to-be-ex husband gets a kick out of pulling it half way off and using it to pull back her ears, like a headband.
Of course, then the damn thing falls off, he gets distracted and it winds up kicked underneath the couch or bed. This happened one too many times, specifically on a Friday and we christened it her version of Casual Dress-Down Days. Therefore, every Thursday evening, the anticipation begins of stripping said pup of her material restraints and preparing to let her run all over, nude as a jaybird on the day she was born.
Yes, it does amuse us endlessly to have started a useless tradition for a canine. Why do you ask?
So here I sit, looking at a future centerfold in Doghouse (if she takes a little better care of her girlish figure, that is – more Jazzersize for her!), wondering if she enjoys this as much as she seems to. Sagan does appear to loath the onset of Saturdays and I can only assume it has to do with giving back into convention and shunning her uniqueness for another whole week. She has such a forlorn look on her face after midnight!
I do think she’s a little phreak. What sayeth you guys? Should I put her in counseling to mend her naughty ways that we’ve only encouraged? Or let the glow bask over her that only comes from walking on the wild side, even if it’s just occasionally? Should I be writing letters for her to Playdog?? The ones that start with; “I can’t believe it finally happened to me.” :eek: More dubiously, should we allow more disregard for the mores of our society and afford her Fridays -and- Tuesdays? That way, it’ll coincide with QE.
What to do, what to do.

Perhaps this makes me an exploitive mom with a zero-collar fetish. OH MY. Poor baby. I can just visualize the jail time now, sans milk bones. Again, whatever will I doooooooooooooo!?!! Dopers, help!! Tell me if we need therapy or a video called Behind the Red Fire Hydrant? Will we need to call Jenna or Rin Tin Tin?? We need guidance now before something tawdry befalls my baby and she can’t run for Ms. Houndiverse! Oh, how will she ever live down a scandal??
