Pirate
This is Pirate the Poddle. He is Joey’s new cousin.
For several months my brother, the brain surgeon, hemmed and hawed about getting a dog. Well, actually he said “NO DOG”. His wife and kids on the other hand said ” Please, can we have a dog?. And again , my brother said no to the dog idea for the following reasons: they are messy, they are noisy, they are dirty. So are kids but you have them. Then I remembered his kids are polite, clean, neat and respectful, thanks to his wife’s hard work and I told him I bet your dog will be the same way. Go for the dog little brother. But again, he hemmed and hawed. ” What if it doesn’t work out, what is our exit strategy?” he said. Come again? It’s a dog, it will be fine, get the freakin pooch and make everyone happy. “Nope, we’re not getting a dog and that’s it”. Well, that was it until the dog came home one day with his wife and kids. Just look at that dog, he sits for photos, he’s clean and brushed to white fluffy perfection. They are all very happy with Pirate the Poddle and as for the exit strategy, I think it came down to getting a dog or my brother making the exit. Welcome to the family Pirate! Joey can’t wait to meet you at Thankgiving.
