So as stated, we eat dinner together most nights. The other night, we had finished dinner and the two boys had left the table to do what they do. SuperMom, Lu and I were still at the table. This is a time where we have few minutes for SuperMom and I to talk about different things prior to cleaning the table. Lu likes to stay because she likes to hear our conversation. We often encourage her to go shower or whatever so we can talk, mainly about the three subjects and the issues of the day. Trust me, with three of them there is always issues of the day. However, this instance was slightly different. Lu stayed and we talked. But SuperMom noticed our oldest dog. Now this dog is 700 years old in dog years, only 18 or 19 in human years. So I must point out that she has been around longer than SuperMom and I have been married. Needless to say, she is not as active or mentally aware as she used to be and walks with a slight tip-toe approach. Therefore, she does some odd things throughout the day. This particular time was one of them. Our kitchen has two entrances and one is close to the table. So she started walking around the kitchen going into the den and back through the other entrance and back into the den. Basically a counter clockwise circle. After the third time, we couldn't help but pay attention. I started making comments, "Around the final curve, down the stretch she comes". Lu also starting making comments and watching this. After about 20 laps, we finally got up, but Lu could not stop laughing and commenting on her behavior. I guess your life is officially boring when you watch a dog circle the kitchen 20 or so times and laugh as she does it. The best part was at one point of the circle, she is out of our view, so we anxiously wait for her to make the turn so we can see her again.
