Myself ran to Mommy as she walked in the back door. But, when she stopped where she stood and looked down, myself stopped where I was, too. Instead of smiling and saying hello to me, she took off her shoe. She asked if I was the one who pooed where there isn’t supposed to be poo. Myself didn’t think I did that. It must have been Maxine but — I was the one Mommy was looking at. My insides got worried and my brain got confused. I didn’t know what I was supposed to do! So, I just stood all frozen-like and stared at her. I didn’t blink. Not even once—till Mommy petted me and said everything was okay. That’s when I got all happy again ‘cause I knew what to do–make my tail wag, prance my big-boy self around Mommy’s legs, and blink my eyes. I wanted Mommy to pick me up but herself had her hand busy holding her shoe way out to her side.
