Done and almost over

In a few hours the year will be finished. And then a new one begins. Seamlessly. I probably won't even wake up when one is done and the other starts.

I thought about making resolutions. But I am a dog and I am pretty happy about everything I do. Well, getting up on the kitchen table wasn't so smart. And barking at my Best Friend when he was shoveling might be interpreted as kind of dense. And maybe I shouldn't have eaten all that chocolate chip banana bread. But almost everything else I have ever done seemed pretty reasonable at the time. Or maybe I just wasn't reasoning. I was just doing.

It seems to be a good way for me to be. Think a little, do a lot. I can try to remember to be polite, to be patient, to be gentle. I could try and lose a couple pounds but I get lots of exercise and my red suit fits, so who cares? I am appreciative, enthusiastic, somewhat obedient and don't take up too much room on the couch. I keep the kitchen floor clean, Ollie on his toes, don't snore too loudly and prevent the squirrels from taking over the yard. All in all, I am a pretty swell fellow. Or at least tolerable. Well, let's just say I am a good dog.

So, a tail wag to all and a happy new year!
