Me: [reading a book, I catch movement in the corner of my eye]
Riley: [laying on my bed, rolls over onto her back]
Me (internal monologue): How cute, she’s just adorable.
Riley: [continues to roll off her back and falls off the bed]
Me: Hmph, that’s different.
Me: Aw that poor puppy has to walk
Riley: And we are riding! In the car!
Me: To the vet
Riley: Sonova…
Me: Ah! It feels good to sit down and take my shoes off!
Riley: <sits at attention, looking me in the eye> Hello sir
Me: Hmm… very formal
<Riley rests a paw on my knee>
Riley: Sir it’s been a long and quiet day and even though I’ve been bored I was a good girl and didn’t get into anything I shouldn’t or even eat one of those tasty morsels I love so well.
Me: And by tasty morself you mean… a book, don’t you?
Riley: Mmmmmmm book…
Me: Riley, did you eat a book?
Riley: I love you
Me: <singing> I wake up in the morning and raise my weary head
Riley: <Grin!!!! Jump!!!!>
Me: <singing> Had an old coat for a pillow and the earth was last night’s bed
<Guitar strum>
Me: ?
Riley: I always wanted to play for Snoopy and Woodstock’s All Pet Revue
<Tag wail, guitar strum>
Me: <singing> I don’t know where I”m goin’, only God knows where I’ve been…
Me: Hey – since it’s such a lazy day I’m going to take a nap.
Riley: Ok! I like naps!
<I fall asleep and wake up an hour later>
Me: Um Riley…? Why am I buried in your toys?
Rile: You were growling – I thought they’d make you happy.
Me: <vacuums>
Riley: Whatcha doin’?
Me: Vacuuming – it makes the place cleaner.
–Later–
Riley: licks kennel floor
Me: whatcha doin’?
Riley: Vacuuming! See, I even sound like you! RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Me: Do you want a piece of ice?
Riley: Do I! <slam>
Me: There’s a door there
Riley: Ow.
