We’ve been having work done on our floors this week, so we’ve had to send the pups to doggy daycare. Joey and Phoebe go twice a week, but Daphne has never gone. In the past we’ve tried to board her, and she spent the whole time cowering in a corner panting.
Not anymore. The new Daphne runs and plays with the other dogs. The new Daphne likes to go to daycare. I suspect it’s partially the influence of Joey, who also likes to run and play with other dogs. Still, it’s amazing that after four and a half years, our little spook is still learning to be a dog, taking mostly baby steps, but sometimes full greyhound strides.
Go, Daphne.
And cheers to The Family Guy for this little exchange (paraphrasing):
Stewie (the baby): You’ll wind up in a dumpster with a bunch of unwanted greyhounds.
Brian (the alcoholic dog): Hey, that’s not funny! That’s our holocaust!
