It figures that this would be the day...Friday the 13th...that my friend who had an emergency had to fly out to Los Angeles. You probably are wondering what that has to do with me? My friend had to drop off "Friday" her beloved beagle for me to watch for one week. "Thank God It's Friday?" I hope so.... Friday was dropped off this morning, he brought all his favorite toys, including an old "favorite" shoe, a couple of old bones and his much loved blanket... Friday's owner came with food, his bowl, and a leash... Dogs make me nervous, and I'm not allowed to have any pets in my apartment. I'll be okay if my landlord knows it's temporary...as long as he doesn't bark and get the neighbors upset...(not my landlord...I mean the dog!) The laws in New York are very tough on curbing your dog...and I'm going to be doing more than watching Friday, as a law-abiding citizen I'll be scoopin' the poopin' for Friday with my bare hands. Now...that's a good friend! I love animals and as apprehensive I am...I'm also excited...I get to take Friday on long walks on Saturday and Sunday! I'm already planning to go to Central Park on Saturday. Sunday, I'll take him on a walk along the Hudson River promenade. He'll get to see some beautiful scenery and I'll get lots of exercise too! No comedy this weekend...I don't want to leave Friday alone too long... Thanks for all your feedback. I really enjoy your comments...I'll resume the comedy next week...Have a great weekend!!!
