The Longing

For Christmas, Genevieve and Murray were given new toys.  Not just any toys, these ones have specific colours that are supposed to make it easier for your dog to find.  To make them extra fun they also float.  They also are made of material and stuffing – the exact recipe for disaster.  So we put them on a shelf in the garage until our next trip to the cottage.

Unfortunately for us Genevieve has a major case of OCD and just can’t let them go.  Every time the garage door opens she’s out there next to the shelf, staring longingly up at them.  It’s kind of sad really, especially since it’s been almost 7 months since Christmas and she hasn’t let up.

Neither her or Murray know what the word ‘cottage’ means.  If they did they’d know we’re heading up there tomorrow.  With the toys.
