I jump in the shower and throw on my work clothes. I grab my coat and bag. “C’mon, Dumpling, time to go to Best Friends.” In the car, I call RJ.

“You are quiet as a mouse; I didn’t hear you leave at all.”

“Well, I didn’t want to disturb you; you had such a rough night.”

“Thank you, sweetie, that is so wonderful. And I’m so glad that you had some bonding time with Dumpling, I think you guys have turned a corner. It was so nice to come home to see my two boys napping together.”

“Yeah, about that, we might not be completely around the corner quite yet.”

“Oh no, what did he do now?”

“Remember how weird it was that he didn’t poop last night the way he usually does?”

Uh-oh. “Where?”

“My shoes.”

“He pooped on your shoes?”

“He pooped in my shoes.”

“In your shoe?”

“Shoes plural.”

“BOTH of them?”

“Yeah, it was actually pretty impressive. Two little curls perfectly placed right in the center of the opening in both shoes. Pretty fancy shooting, Sheriff.”

“Please tell me you noticed before you put your feet in there …”

“I did indeed. And he must have done it early enough that by the time I discovered it, it had dried out a bit and I could just shake the poop out. They’re going to need a little disinfecting and deodorizing though.”

“I will buy you new shoes.”

“No need. It was pretty funny actually. And the stories are getting me good mileage with my clients. A lot of them are dog people, and they have come to love a good Dumpling story.”

“You have the patience of a saint.”

“Nope, just have the sense to know when I have a great thing.”

“Thank you, honey. I’m pulling into the doggie day care now. I’ll call you later?”

“I certainly hope so.”

I turn to look at Dumpling, sitting on the seat beside me. “Seriously? IN his shoes? BOTH OF THEM????” Dumpling smiles at me, and I can’t help it, I start to laugh.
