Triangulating
Long hours of rain have slowed down my action-packed life. I was reduced to helping my Person stretch canvas on wooden frames for her to make paintings on. It was my job to use this triangle to make sure the corners were all nice and square. I made sure I got some shut eye instead.
I like to think of myself of a paws-on dog, but I don't think precision work is my forté. I like digging holes as fast as I can, bouncing when I run, falling on Ollie from the top of the bed and knocking grocery bags over. I like burrowing under blankets, stealing other dog's toys and making Great Escapes through the fence. I do not like making sure corners are square.
But if the rain doesn't stop I might be stuck in the studio, playing unwilling apprentice. It might be all worthwhile if my Person would let me paint a painting or two. And she might learn a few useful tips from me if she does. If you notice her paintings start to improve check out the signature on them and see if maybe it is "Finnegan."
