The Dog Days

We have a bit of magic that resides at our house. It is the magic of transformation. The 4-year-old who lives here is sometimes a girl, but on occasion she can 'magically' transform into a puppy. The changing is simple and reminiscent of Wonder Woman: she does a little spin and [voila!] she becomes a puppy. Nothing you say or do can get English words out of our puppy. She does, however, communicate in a very Blues-Clues-like 'wroo roo roo.' If words are absolutely necessary, Puppy will do the Wonder Woman spin and change back into Girl. But only for a moment, then she spins again, falls on all fours, and gallumps along in her canine way.

The up side to all this schizophrenia is that Puppy is very obedient. I can get her to do almost anything, as long as I preface the request with the pronoun 'Puppy.'

"Puppy, stand up."
"Puppy, make the bed."
"Puppy, fetch the remote control."
"Puppy, change back into Kate."

;)

Oh, the joys of pet ownership!
