Me: That was a heavy sigh, Ducky.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: That’s my bone.

Me: I know. But she’s teething.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: Is that why she has chewed up all my toys?

Me: It plays a role.

Ducky: Is that why she peed on my bed?

Me: Less likely. But the fact that she’s a puppy probably was the culprit there.

Ducky: Uh huh. You wouldn’t be so nice if she “was a puppy” on your bed.

Me: Possibly. But it’s good for her to get some exposure to a big dog like you. And it’s good for you to get some socialization too since we don’t get to the dog park any more.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: It’s good for you to get an easy blog post by agreeing to dog sit. 

Me: Possibly.

Ducky: I haven’t slept for three days.

Me: It’s been five hours, but I understand.

Ducky: …

Me: You’ve been very nice. And we’re only dog sitting for two days. 

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: Will I get in trouble if I sit on her?

Me: You shouldn’t sit on her.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: Did you see that she chewed on your phone charger?

Me: …

Ducky: …

Me: You shouldn’t sit on her hard.

Ducky: I love you, Daddy.

Me: I love you, Ducky.

Ducky: She’s not sharing.

Me: She doesn’t have to.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: Seems rude.

Me: It is what it is.

Ducky: But I love popcorn.

Me: You’ve never had popcorn.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: I feel confident I would love popcorn.

Me: How about a carrot? You like carrots.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: I do like carrots.

Me: …

Ducky: But popcorn smells like I would like it more than carrots.

Me: You’ll never know. No popcorn for you. 

Ducky: …

Me: Two carrots, and you can accidentally step on the lady as you follow me into the kitchen.

Ducky: Seems rude. I like it.

The Lady: What?

Ducky & Me: Nothing.

Me: I love you, Ducky.

Ducky: I love you, Daddy,

Last Sunday’s new Ducky post from wellthatsjustducky. Remember to follow us over there for new posts every Sunday at 7:00 p.m. ET!

Ducky: This is weird.

Me: I thought it might make bath time less stressful.

Ducky: I didn’t know baths made you stressed.

Me: Not me, you.

Ducky: I don’t like baths.

Me: I am aware of that.

Ducky: And you thought adding another body to the tub would make it more enjoyable?

Me: It’s like a party.

Ducky: …

Me: Party in the tub!

Ducky: This is weird.

Me: Well sue me for trying something new.

Ducky: You’re wearing pants in the bath tub. That’s weird.

Me: It’s a swimsuit.

Ducky: I’m not wearing a swimsuit. Why are you?

Me: If I wasn’t this would be weird.

Ducky: …

Me: Weirder.

Ducky: Rinse me, old man.

Me: Me first.

Ducky: Weirdo.

Me: I love you, Ducky.

Ducky: I love you, Daddy.

Smile Friday: Two Boys With Big Round Heads Edition.

When the future is uncertain, I need the Ducky Dog more than usual to remind me to focus on what really matters. Love. And food. Mainly food.

Ducky: Nice day, Daddy.

Me: Nice day, Ducky.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: Is that all, Daddy?

Me: I think so.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: No deep thoughts to contemplate? No meaning to find?

Me: I don’t think so, Ducky. Not today.

Ducky: Just you and me being content on a nice day?

Me: Yup. That’s all.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: That is a nice day.

Me: Yup. Today has value just because it is.

Ducky: And so do we.

Me: I love you, Ducky.

Ducky: I love you, Daddy. 

My car speaketh the truth.
