Cool Runnings With Sinatra

Sinatra: Hey, is Dr. Marco helping you with your foot thing, what’s it called, Planet Face Ice Cream?
Me: Umm….. or Plantar Fasciitis. Yeah- he is helping me.
Sinatra: Well I can tell, you haven’t kept a decent pace for a month, but today was pretty good.
Me: Thanks. I felt pretty good about it.
Sinatra: Well don’t get too excited, you’ve got a lot of work to do, but if my paws ever start hurting you better take me to Accordo Chiropractic! Also, when are we going back to the beach?
Me: Soon I hope!
Sinatra: Me too, maybe Luna can come next time.
Me: We’ll see- that sounds like a fun day.
Sinatra: It would be, and I bet she likes running on the beach too.
Me: I’m sure she does.
Sinatra: You wanna hear a joke?
Me: No, not really.
Sinatra: Why are dogs and trees a lot alike?
Me: This is going to be horrible isn’t it?
Sinatra: Because they both have a lot of bark!!!! Hahahaha!
Me: Ugh.

Me: Hey congrats on being an aunt!
Sinatra: Thanks. Ethel is going to be a good mom I think. I always had to tell her “quit telling me what to do, you’re not mom!”
Me: Oh yeah? That’s funny.
Sinatra: Yeah, she always tried to be the boss, but I was always like “you’re not the boss of me!”
Me: Well, now she has a bunch of little ones to be the boss of.
Sinatra: Good for her. I guess I need to start putting some good advice and tips together for the little ones.
Me: Good idea.
Sinatra: Oh, can we send a letter to all of them sometime?
Me: Uh, sure I guess.
Sinatra: Not an email or a text. Like a real deal letter, in an envelope, with a stamp.
Me: I think it’s a good idea.
Sinatra: Cool. I can send pictures and tell em how to take care of their hoomans when they get to them. They need to know that stuff.
Me: Right.
Sinatra: I mean, most people won’t have it as hard as I did, but still.
Me: Wait a minute, what’s that supposed to mean?
Sinatra: Look, it’s no secret, you weren’t easy to train. But you got there eventually and that’s all that matters.
Me: I don’t think that’s how it went.
Sinatra: Of course…. of course.

Me: Wow! 65° and just the right breeze- perfect!
Sinatra: I don’t know…. I like it cool and windy myself.
Me: I know you do, but at least it’s not super hot.
Sinatra: I guess so. The geese are about to be everywhere again.
Me: Yep.
Sinatra: Guess my break is over.
Me: Break?
Sinatra: Yeah, from keeping those feather heads in line.
Me: Oh that’s what you do huh?
Sinatra: Yeah, somebody has to. They think they can just waddle around being all, “uhhhh, look at me being a goose and stuff.” Nope, not on my watch!
Me: Seems legit. Is it volunteer work?
Sinatra: Oh yeah, but we do have a union.
Me: Really?
Sinatra: Yeah, it’s pretty official. It’s called the H.U.G.
Me: What’s that stand for?
Sinatra: Huskies Understand Goose.
Me: That’s weird. And it doesn’t really make sense.
Sinatra: Makes perfect sense to us. We understand them.
Me: Shouldn’t it be Geese?
Sinatra: What are you an English professor now?
Me: Nope. Carry on.

Sinatra: Ok, what’s the deal with you now?! What’s wrong with your foot?
Me: Why?
Sinatra: I’ve seen you icing it down every day and putting funny smelling stuff on it.
Me: Ah, don’t know, but I’m going to a podiatrist this week.
Sinatra: What’s that?
Me: It’s a doctor that takes care of feet.
Sinatra: Well I hope he can take care of yours and make it better.
Me: Thanks buddy, me too.
Sinatra: Yeah, you’re really slowing us down. I’m not in the habit of moving backwards, and I’m literally pulling all your weight so you gotta get it together. I’ve got records to break and other winner type stuff to do.
Me: Copy that, thanks for the concern.
Sinatra: No problem, getting old must be a real bummer man.
Me: It has its moments.
Sinatra: Speaking of winners, who’s ready for Kansas City to win this thing?!
Me: Woohoo- let’s go!
Sinatra: Hey, you know what they call a doctor who takes care of dogs feet?
Me: Oh no. Please don……
Sinatra: A PAWdiatrist!!!! Hahahahaha haha haha!!!!! I totally just made that up! Man I am good!!!

Sinatra: You sure have been reading more than usual.
Me: Yeah, lots of stuff for school.
Sinatra: Is it fun stuff?
Me: I think so. It’s mostly information security and cyber…… hey!
Sinatra: …zzz…huh? Oh yeah, what?
Me: Did you just fall asleep?
Sinatra: Me? No way, I was totally interested in the cybermojo stuff you were talking about. So fascinating.
Me: Right….
Sinatra: Seriously though, I’m pretty sure it’s slowing you down, you should read less and run more with me.
Me: Don’t let Linda hear you say that.
Sinatra: Oh yeah, good call. She probably wouldn’t like that.
Me: Anyway, I have to read so I can do well in my classes.
Sinatra: Aren’t you too old for school?
Me: Nah, I don’t think you can get too old for school. It’s good to keep learning new stuff.
Sinatra: I guess so. I’m glad I already know everything I need to know though.
Me: Wow, that must feel great.
Sinatra: It really does, and I hope one day you know the feeling too. Keep reading- I bet you might.
Me: Want me to read you some of my assignments?
Sinatra: Nah, it’s too early for a nap.

Linda: You should take Sinatra on a run before we go watch the games.
Sinatra: Yeah Bub, you should take me on a run.
Me: Oooookay…..
Sinatra: You know, when you cage the beast the beast gets angry.
Me: Oh, so you’re a beast now?
Sinatra: Well, I’m the best at what I do.
Me: You’re being weird….. I’m not quite sure what it is though…..
Sinatra: C’mon Bub, patience isn’t really my strongest suit….
Me: Wait…. these are quotes aren’t they?
Sinatra: Maybe you should go ask the professor.
Me: You’re Wolverine! Right?
Sinatra: Took you long enough.
Me: Yeah I’m not good at remembering movie stuff.
Sinatra: Hey…
Me: What’s up?
Sinatra: You know where I could get a hold of some adamantium?
Me: Well, it’s not real soooooo….
Sinatra: What? Did you just ruin Sunday?

Me: So how does it feel to be 2 years old?
Sinatra: Pretty much the same as before really. I guess I probably feel like I have a touch more responsibility.
Me: Oh yeah, for what?
Sinatra: Everything, you, Linda, the little hooman, Monet, etc. It’s tough to keep you guys in line.
Me: I see. Kind of exhausting isn’t it?
Sinatra: Tell me about it. I think I need a vacation.
Me: Sounds rough.
Sinatra: Yeah, I don’t know how you guys managed before I came along. I’m totally wiped every morning when you leave for work and school. I pretty much nap until you get home.
Me: Wow. You got it bad.
Sinatra: Nah, I don’t mind really. I mean, who else is going to clean up scraps, let you guys give all the pets, make sure there’s plenty of fur on everything, help you get your cardio, wake everyone up on time, play with all my toys, snuggle the little hooman, go on walks with you guys and keep you safe. It’s a lot.
Me: I think it’s just you. Monet doesn’t like to do much besides sleep.
Sinatra: Exactly. It’s all up to me. These are the cards I was dealt though, and I’m good with that.
Me: Must be tough to be a 2 year old husky.
Sinatra: Well, I’m pretty tough so there’s that.

Sinatra: You’ve been lazy.
Me: I know…. starting the year off slow.
Sinatra: I guess it’s good you didn’t make any new resolutions for 2020.
Me: Nope- just keep trying to keep the fur off everything.
Sinatra: Good thing you aren’t tying to be a comedian, cause you wouldn’t get a gig.
Me: Good thing you aren’t trying to be a motivational husky.
Sinatra: But I am! See, I keep you on your toes, always trying to be better…. so you can keep up with me.
Me: Oh that’s why you’re so snarky?
Sinatra: Exactly.
Me: So someone has a birthday coming up.
Sinatra: Right?!
Me: Whatcha wanna do?
Sinatra: I think maybe a trip to the beach would be nice.
Me: Done.
Sinatra: A new water buffalo horn?
Me: Done.
Sinatra: Maybe a new Kong toy?
Me: Done.
Sinatra: Pants?
Me:…….
Sinatra: Just kidding. A party?
Me: Who would you invite?
Sinatra: All our closest friends of course.
Me: I’ll work on that.
Sinatra: Sweet. Hey…..
Me: Yeah?
Sinatra: I just went to the eye doctor and guess what he told me?
Me: Oh no…. here it comes.
Sinatra: I’ve got 2020 vision. Lol!

Sinatra: Why’d you take all the decorations down?
Me: Because Christmas is over and it’s time to get ready for 2020!
Sinatra: Undecorating is sad. Why can’t it always be Christmas?
Me: Well, then it couldn’t be your birthday, and Valentines Day, and Easter, and all the other holidays.
Sinatra: That’s a dumb rule.
Me: It’s not really a rule, it’s just how it works.
Sinatra: I guess. How long til next Christmas?
Me: A year.
Sinatra: What?! That’s forever! I don’t think I can wait that long.
Me: You’ll find a way. So, is there anything you want to do different next year? Like, maybe be nicer to Monet maybe?
Sinatra: Nah, she needs me to keep her on her old toes. Hmmm….. I think I would like to go to the beach more. That’s a lot of fun.
Me: Done! We can definitely make that happen.
Sinatra: Aaaaaaand…….. I think I’d like pants.
Me: Umm….. probably no on the pants.
Sinatra: But you wear pants.
Me: Yeah, I’ll get arrested if I don’t.
Sinatra: True story. So why can’t I have pants?
Me: You’ll get hot in pants. You don’t need em.
Sinatra: Fine. But don’t blame me if I bite someone for trying to arrest me for husky indecency.
Me: Deal.

Sinatra: Check out my new toys!
Me: Yep- looks like a good one.
Sinatra: I’ll probably destroy it.
Me: I figure you will.
Sinatra: Looks like you got some good stuff too. Who’s this Goku cat?
Me: Basically the coolest dude ever.
Sinatra: Oh yeah- what’s so special about him?
Me: How bout we’ll watch a few shows together and I’ll let you see for yourself.
Sinatra: I like it. The little hooman sure got a lot of LEGO’s.
Me: No doubt!
Sinatra: And the older hooman got some sweet luggage.
Me: Yep.
Sinatra: What did Linda get?
Me: She said she didn’t want anything.
Sinatra: You didn’t!? That was a trap!
Me: Just kidding- she got some good stuff too.
Sinatra: Whew! I didn’t think you were that crazy.
Me: Merry Christmas pup.
Sinatra: Merry Christmas!
