Some things Daisy and I discussed on our walk this morning
So first the weather. Rained all night and I felt it lean in through the screen a couple of times which was lovely and then the wind was fierce this morning – unlike those silly little fart lines on my phone – and it kind of came up from the ground and that’s when Daisy said she couldn’t poo
But she got out of the wind and I got out my ran-out-of-poo-bags poo-bag which is a regular old sandwich bag as in see-through.
Think about that for a moment
And then I told Daisy how it would come in pretty handy if I were a dog like her because I need to pee all the time like her. She must have peed about fifty times on our hour long walk. I’m at about half that but still.
As you can see, we talk about the simple stuff mostly
She has a lot to say about the abundance of rabbits and I mostly talk about which path we’re going to take. I ask her do you want to do that hill again but she knows it’s rhetorical and if I feel like it we’ll do the same hill three times and then I’ll change my question to you don’t want to do that hill again do you.
We talk about the view and the wind in our hair and how happy we are that I’m home all the time although I noticed her enthusiasm seemed a little forced on this point
So as you might know, I am the puzzle maker for ZoomerRadio and I was thinking about proposing that I do Zoomer’s sister station – ClassicalFM – so I bounced the idea off Daisy this morning and I’m sure glad I did.
Let’s hear a few she said and then it hit me that I know nothing about classical music except that it doesn’t have words mostly and the only reason I am familiar with some of it is because of Bugs Bunny.
So I thought for a minute and came up with two crossword clues and one of them’s a blank which is kind of a cop-out in the puzzle-making world. It’s a crutch.
So here they are:
clue: What kind of vehicle did Ludwig Beethoven drive?
solution: VAN
which she scoffed at, and:
clue: Tony _ _ _ _ _ _ _
solution: SOPRANO
which she didn’t think was funny at all. She’s probably never seen the show.
But I’ll tell you what she did think was funny: On my third try I came up with something about Significant Movements and then I started thinking about that see-through poo without the word bag and then because I am eight I thought that see-through poo is a nice little crossword clue for fart and that’s the part I told Daisy and oh boy you should have heard her.
