Traitorous Mom

Upset with Traitorous Mom

Hello to all,

The weather started cooperating this week. Sunshine blanketed the yard and dried the soaking rain from the past month. Each day became a little warmer than the previous until Thursday, when the mercury surpassed the eighty-degree mark as light, fluffy clouds occasionally wafted overhead.

Sarah, the human sister of our entitled dog, started turning the garden over for the seedlings maturing in her nursery. Mom took a chair to supervise and keep her company. Sometime later, our neighbor started tending to her garden with her faithful companion, Bentley. Yes, the same Bentley, renowned for sticking his tongue out at Ginger, staring menacingly at our house, and overall being a threat to our safety.

Ginger grumbled at the sight of her foe just feet from the property line. Then, catastrophe settled into our happy home. Mom strode over to the neighbor’s, petted Bentley, and began talking to Karen. The shouts, cries, and screeches rang throughout the house of her Traitorous Mom, petting another dog.

Ginger screamed at me like I was the manager in charge of correcting her Traitorous Mom from this dastardly deed. When I did nothing, she took it upon herself and ran to our bedroom window to call out and correct her Traitorous Mom. When her mother failed to correct her blatant disregard for Ginger’s rules, Ginger sprinted through the house screaming her discontent.

Ginger gave her Traitorous Mom the cold, furry shoulder well into the afternoon. Anytime Mom walked by our napping dog, we could hear the moan of dissatisfaction. Finally, when it became dinner time, the memory of the Traitorous Mom left her mind, and she remembered the loving mom who fed her.
