"Mama, I'm pretty tired, and I think I'm gonna take a nap. Will you record SNL for me and find out of Virginia Tech won so I'll know what kind of mood Daddy's gonna be in when he comes home? . . .

. . .oh, and can you finish cleaning the house? There's dog fur everywhere! You know I'm allergic to dog fur. . .

. . .and wake me up if any kids walk by, okay? Or maybe you can just yell at them and tell them not to walk past our house. Man, it's chilly. I'm glad I have my blanket! . . .

. . .[big dog sigh], this feels. . .fantastic."

It's been that kind of day for dogs and dog moms.
