Ranger really loves helping me!
But he was upset with me yesterday afternoon when I wouldn’t let him come downstairs to sniff the dryer repair guy.
“We got a brand new dryer motor for Christmas!”
—what I told my husband, and it’s hard to wrap that and put it under the tree.
Anyone else buying an appliance for their spouse for the holidays?
People who meet Ranger learn he’s a very gentle and curious dog, but quite lazy at times, and he enjoys “helping” me with laundry, which means sitting on the clothing or standing in front of the machines.
I can’t help but laugh — and I’m still training him on how to carry a laundry basket up the stairs, but you know what they say about old dogs and new tricks.
