Cool Runnings With Sinatra

Sinatra: Why does Linda have to go to work, but you get to stay home and play with the dumb box and rat?
Me: Well, first… its a mouse, computer and it’s my job so I am working. Second- she still has to go because a lot of city employees are still working.
Sinatra: Oh. Lame. Do they stay 6 feet apart?
Me: I think they do.
Sinatra: I’m glad I don’t have to stay 6 feet away from you guys.
Me: I am too.
Sinatra: I mean, sometimes you smell funny but I still like being close to you.
Me: Well… thanks I guess.
Sinatra: It’s pretty selfish I guess. It would be hard to get belly rubs from 6 feet away. How would you even do that?
Me: Hmmm…. I don’t know.
Sinatra: Well you should come up with a plan just in case it comes to that. I mean- I heard about the tiger.
Me: Yeah, but you aren’t a tiger.
Sinatra: No, but I’m basically a wolf.
Me: No… not really.
Sinatra: Ok, but pretty much I’m like a wolf, and thus, like a tiger as well.
Me: That doesn’t make sense, and did you just use the word thus?
Sinatra: Yeah, so? Linda is a librarian so there are always cool words flying around in this house.
Me: This is true.
Sinatra: Exactly.
Me: You’re so weird sometimes.
Sinatra: Rude.

Sinatra: You know, I bet if you run before your workout you would do much better.
Me: But then my workout wouldn’t be as good.
Sinatra: What’s more important?
Me: What does it matter as long as we go the distance?
Sinatra: ………..
Me: What?
Sinatra: ………..
Me: No words?
Sinatra: ………..
Me: ………….
Sinatra: I’m going to pretend you didn’t say that.
Me: Fine.
Sinatra: So, when you would go to the gym did you run without me?
Me: ………..
Sinatra: Your silence is deafening.
Me: Well, I didn’t run outside.
Sinatra: That’s not running.
Me: Well… it is.
Sinatra: It’s not.
Me: Ok, but it is.
Sinatra: It’s basically like fake running.
Me: Sure, whatever makes you feel better.
Sinatra: A better pace. That’s what would make me feel better.

Sinatra: You know what?
Me: What?
Sinatra: I really don’t like vegetables.
Me: I’ve noticed.
Sinatra: I hear a lot of dogs like carrots.
Me: Yep- I think that’s true.
Sinatra: Not me. I don’t like em’ at all.
Me: You like to play with them.
Sinatra: Yeah, they make a fun toy.
Me: I guess.
Sinatra: Now meat… we can definitely make a deal.
Me: A deal?
Sinatra: Yeah, like you give me some turkey or steak and we can work something out.
Me: Like what?
Sinatra: I don’t know…. like maybe for a nice rare ribeye.
Me: Is that the deal?
Sinatra: Yeah. Sounds pretty good doesn’t it?
Me: I’m only hearing what you get out of it. A deal means both parties get something.
Sinatra: Oh, so like you give me the steak and then I have to give you something?
Me: Exactly.
Sinatra: Gotcha. Well, I just figured it was pretty obvious.
Me: How so?
Sinatra: Well, I get the steak and you get a happy dog! 😎

Me: You’re taking it pretty easy tonight aren’t you?
Sinatra: Yeah, just enjoying a little time outside you know, appreciating nature and all.
Me: I can appreciate that I guess. It is nice to be outside.
Sinatra: Exactly. I mean, I like laying underneath your chair all day, but it’s kinda boring.
Me: You can always get up and play with your toys.
Sinatra: I could. It’s not really all that much fun playing by yourself.
Me: You seem like you get some good naps in. Also, you dream a lot.
Sinatra: Yep, I know.
Me: It’s pretty funny when you start woofing and running. I imagine you’re probably chasing something.
Sinatra: Sometimes I’m running a marathon.
Me: Really? Like in an actual race?
Sinatra: Right, with a race bib and a finish line and everything.
Me: That’s pretty cool. Do you finish?
Sinatra: I usually wake up right before I get to the end.
Me: That stinks.
Sinatra: It’s ok, I forgive you.
Me: For waking you up?
Sinatra: No, for not being tough enough to run a marathon.
Me: 🤨

Sinatra: Whatcha wanna do today?
Me: Well, I’m going to work in the office at home.
Sinatra: Ugh. That’s so boring. We should totally play all day.
Me: Sorry dude, but you can hang out in there with me.
Sinatra: Fine, but I get to drive the radio.
Me: Cool with me, just nothing lame.
Sinatra: Well I guess we’ll stay away from your collection…..
Me: That hurts.
Sinatra: Just kidding. Mostly. Ha!
Me: My collection is all you have to choose from you know.
Sinatra: Yep, but I like ‘The Best Of’ what you have.
Me: Oh yeah, like what?
Sinatra: Like Ozzy, Rush, Heart, Pink Floyd, Clapton, etc….
Me: So you’re a classic rock kinda girl then?
Sinatra: You could say that I guess. I just appreciate how it has really stood the test of time you know?
Me: That’s pretty deep.
Sinatra: Yeah, huskies tend to have a lot of depth you know. And we are known for our extraordinary taste in music.
Me: I’ve never heard that.
Sinatra: Yep. Look, you let me produce your next record and you might have a real gem on your hands.
Me: Think so?
Sinatra: I know so Jack!
Me: You’re so weird sometimes.
Sinatra: If by weird you mean awesome, then yeah I’m really weird.

Sinatra: Not many hoomans out this morning.
Me: Not really. A lot of folks are working from home right now.
Sinatra: Wait….. is that what you are doing?
Me: Yep.
Sinatra: Oh….
Me: Why the long face….. lol?
Sinatra: Good one. No, I just thought you might have quit your job to stay home with me, the hooman and the dumb box with the rat.
Me: It’s a computer and mouse, and that is my job.
Sinatra: Oh.
Me: But that would be a good reason.
Sinatra: I sure did smell a whole bunch of something outside.
Me: What’s that?
Sinatra: Fear.
Me: Well, people are afraid of the stuff going on right now.
Sinatra: But you aren’t?
Me: I’m not afraid of it. I do worry a good bit about how the world is changing right now. But I can only do what I can do, and worry and fear don’t help at all.
Sinatra: What if you lose your job?
Me: Then I definitely get to spend more time with you.
Sinatra: But can you still buy animal crackers?
Me: I would find a way.
Sinatra: Lets hope it doesn’t happen though. I like you being here, but not stressed out.
Me: It’s gonna be alright little pup. I believe in humans. We won’t let each other down.
Take care of yourselves folks, and do what you can for your neighbor.

Sinatra: The whole world seems kinda crazy right now.
Me: It does, but it’ll be ok.
Sinatra: You think so?
Me: I do. If everyone will just remember that the person next to them just wants to be ok too.
Sinatra: And be kind?
Me: Exactly.
Sinatra: And don’t take all the animal crackers?
Me: Sure.
Sinatra: Can you even imagine?
Me: I can try.
Sinatra: Don’t, it will be too upsetting.
Me: Ok.
Sinatra: Oh my gosh, what if they close the puppy store and I can’t get any new toys?
Me: I think you’ll be ok for a bit if they do.
Sinatra: I guess. It’s scary though.
Me: It’s really ok. Just calm down and breathe.
Sinatra: Ok. Whew.
Me: Better?
Sinatra: Yes.
Me: Good.
Sinatra: Do you know what chemists’ dogs do with their bones.
Me: Um……. no not really. Wait… oh no.
Sinatra: They barium.
Me: Ugh.
Sinatra: Get it?

Me: Sorry dude, just not really feeling this one today.
Sinatra: It’s probably because you and Linda spent all day digging in the back yard.
Me: Maybe so.
Sinatra: People are going to start wondering if you’re putting in a pool.
Me: Nope, not right now, but maybe one day.
Sinatra: I don’t know why you guys get to dig but I can’t.
Me: Because our digging leads to a finished product.
Sinatra: So does mine.
Me: A tunnel to China is not a good project.
Sinatra: How about Australia?
Me: No tunnels.
Sinatra: You really are a downer.
Me: No, I just hate stepping into those ankle breakers you create.
Sinatra: Fine. I will try to not dig so deep.
Me: How about not at all?
Sinatra: Would you ask a fish not to swim, or a bird not to fly?
Me: It’s not even close to the same.
Sinatra: Would you ask a cow to stop mooing?
Me: I see we are getting nowhere.
Sinatra: Not at that pace we aren’t…….

Me: You know, I really thought you would have liked all the snow.
Sinatra: Nah, I guess I’m not about that life.
Me: I bet you are the only husky that doesn’t like it.
Sinatra: That’s possible, guess who cares?
Me: I get it, but…. it’s surprising still.
Sinatra: Just not my thing.
Me: What didn’t you like about it?
Sinatra: Ummmm….. mostly everything. It messed up the yard.
Me: I see.
Sinatra: You ever walked barefoot in snow?
Me: Nope.
Sinatra: You ever had to poop in the snow?
Me: Nope.
Sinatra: See, you don’t like that stuff either.
Me: I see your point, I just thought….
Sinatra: You thought since I was fluffy I would like to roll around in frozen water?
Me: Yeah pretty much.
Sinatra: That’s weird. Yeah, it’s a hard pass.
Me: Gotcha.
Sinatra: I will, however, have one of those turkey sticks.
