The Mithril Awards
Yes, the Mithril Awards are happening. I know this is true because she has been swearing at the computer for the last several hours. I tried shredding a few kleenex to ease her pain, but it didn't seem to work.
There has been some odd activity. Something to do with them being married for 23 years. I don't know why they are even counting the 20 where I was not present. They do not matter.
I finally visited the horses. Or rather, I was placed in the truck and driven there. It was very dirty and full of wonderful smells. It was too hot to play with the baby horse. She even let me go off of the leash, which was nice of her. I didn't wander too far, because the area was new and the horses, well, they aren't exactly frightening; it's just that they--they are just--so--big. Even the baby one is considerably bigger than I expected. And so I respectfully touched noses with them and withdrew to observe them.
She had me sit with some other humans, including a small one that wanted me to play. He thought that if he threw a ball I would actually bring it to him! Of all the nerve! She explained that I do not do "fetch". Dogs fetch. I am a Poodle. Mia will fetch, but she is a Ball Addict and cannot help herself. Sad, really, to see a Ball Addict in action.
I visited with all the humans, and I even let the small one have his pizza. I did not ask for a piece of it. It smelled bad, and I knew that it was a type I do not like. Mia would have eaten it, but Mia will eat anything.
They bought me a bottle of cold water for the trip home. It was not my brand, but I drank it anyway.
I will have to go and see the horses more often. Perhaps this time they will be eating proper food and I will be able to get a snack.
