My dog is so slow.
How slow is she?
My dog is so slow that she would lose a race with a snail. My dog is so slow that I actually sprouted two new gray hairs on our evening walk.
Okay, enough of me busting on my dog. I do love her so…but getting her around the block these days feels like an odyssey. She is 12 and has slowed down in her golden years, but it’s no so much her mobility that’s the issue as it is her interest in sniffing every single leaf, her passion for every peed upon blade of grass that holds the secrets of the day’s four-legged voyagers who have come before her.
My neighbor calls dog walks “reading the papers.” They get all the latest news through those amazing sniffers of theirs. I guess Sasha just doesn’t want to miss a word.
