On today’s edition of ‘Cool Runnings With Sinatra’…
Sinatra: What should I be for Halloween this year?
Me: I don’t know, maybe a wolf?
Sinatra: Nah, that’s too easy… I’m basically a wolf anyway.
Me: Nope, you’re part Husky and part Australian Shepherd.
Sinatra: We’ll agree to disagree. How about one of those big T-Rex costumes? That would be cool!
Me: I don’t think they fit dogs.
Sinatra: That’s dumb. Ok, how about a Thor costume?
Me: We could probably make that work.
Sinatra: Sweet. But no one else can walk around with my hammer ok.
Me: And why is that?
Sinatra: Duh, cause they aren’t worthy!
Me: Ok diva.

Side Note- so this was the first time in quite a while that I didn’t run with back and leg pain. It was really nice! So, Chesapeeps- if you are looking for a chiropractor then I highly recommend Accordo Chiropractic! Everyone in that office is a rockstar, and they treat you like you are one too. Thank you guys so much for everything!

Me: Did you have fun playing with Luna last night?
Sinatra: Yep- she’s the best. When is she coming back over?
Me: Don’t know, I bet you’ll see her pretty soon.
Sinatra: She told me some funny jokes- wanna hear em’?
Me: Sure.
Sinatra: Why are dogs like cell phones?
Me: Why?
Sinatra: Because we have collar ID’s! Hahahaha! That’s a good one!
Me: Pretty clever.
Sinatra: What’s a dogs favorite subject?
Me: Food?
Sinatra: Nope- BARKEOLOGY!!!! Lololololol!
Me: You’re killing me.
Sinatra: I know right? Ok- why are dogs the best storytellers?
Me: Don’t know.
Sinatra: Cause we really know how to ‘paws’ for effect! Hahahahahahahaha! So good right?!
Me: Thanks Luna.

We scaled back our pace some to add some distance today, and she was all about it! Her longest run to date.
Sinatra: I’ve been thinking a lot about it, and I think Linda should run for president.
Me: Oh yeah- why is that?
Sinatra: Well, she’s already a great boss at her job, and she’s definitely a great leader.
Me: Agreed- 💯 But I don’t think she’s all that into politics.
Sinatra: I know, but she’s also a really great speaker- and they have to do that a lot.
Me: True- she’s definitely great at public speaking. She still doesn’t want to be a politician though.
Sinatra: Oh- and she’s really awesome at pretty much all the other stuff she does.
Me: Yep- she still doesn’t want to get into politics.
Sinatra: 🤨
Me: What?
Sinatra: Why are you trying to kill my dream of being first dog?
Me: Seriously? Hey- why can’t I be president?
Sinatra: Ehh, you really just aren’t that into politics….
Me: 🧐

Sinatra: It feels great this morning!

Me: I know- it’s 54°!

Sinatra: Huskies like it cold.

Me: I think I heard that somewhere.

Sinatra: Huskies really like to dig too.

Me: You don’t say?

Sinatra: Yeah- it’s true. Aaaaaaaand we get the zoomies a lot. Like, every day.

Me: Seems legit.

Sinatra: You know what else huskies really like?

Me: What’s that?

Sinatra: NASCAR.

Me: Hmmmm. That one is definitely news to me.

Sinatra: I thought that was common knowledge.

Me: Why do huskies like NASCAR?

Sinatra: Cause huskies like to party and NASCAR folks know how to party.

Me: I see. So who’s your favorite driver?

Sinatra: This year I’m rooting for Chase Briscoe. He’s sponsored by Nutri Chomps- so that’s my boy!

Me: How do you know all this?

Sinatra: Duh- Alexa!

Sinatra: The little hooman sure has a lot of LEGO’s.

Me: She does. She really loves building things.

Sinatra: She’s pretty smart.

Me: Yep.

Sinatra: I wonder if she can make me a new toy.

Me: You would just chew it up like you do all your toys.

Sinatra: Yeah, but they look really yummy. Like candy. All the different colors. I bet they all taste different.

Me: No, they probably all taste like plastic.

Sinatra: Oh, I love plastic.

Me: That’s not good for you.

Sinatra: Are you a dietitian now?

Me: No.

Sinatra: Then until we know for sure, LEGO’s taste like candy.

Me: 😶

Sinatra: That was a pretty good run!

Me: Yeah- it was!

Sinatra: That new Dermot Kennedy album really got you pumped up didn’t it?

Me: I think so- it’s really good.

Sinatra: Can we listen to some Snoop tomorrow?

Me: Maybe. You’ve never mentioned being a fan before.

Sinatra: Who isn’t a fan of Snoop?

Me: Good point.

Sinatra: I mean who can argue with lyrics like “Everything is fine when you listenin to the D-O-G”

Me: I see what you did there.

Sinatra: What?

Me: You’re a pretty smooth d-o-g yourself.

Sinatra: Yeah…. I know.

Me: Why do you freak out when the lawn guy comes, or the delivery guy rings the bell?

Sinatra: Cause they interrupted me.

Me: From doing what?

Sinatra: Look, I’m a busy pup and folks are depending on me.

Me: Oh I see. You’re like a VIP or something.

Sinatra: Right, a Very Important Pup.

Me: Gotcha. But what is it you’re actually doing?

Sinatra: Well, when was the last time you saw a bear in the house?

Me: Never- oh that’s you?

Sinatra: Right, you’re welcome. How bout a tiger? Ever seen one in the living room?

Me: Can’t say I have.

Sinatra: Exactly, you’re welcome. You know how hard it is to keep the cobras outta here?

Me: Nope.

Sinatra: And you never will. You’re welcome. How bout a treat?

Sinatra: Hey, can I borrow one of your skateboards?

Me: Um, why?

Sinatra: I saw a video of a husky riding one yesterday and I want to learn how.

Me: You’re going to learn by watching YouTube?

Sinatra: Yep, besides you’ll probably just hurt yourself on them anyway.

Me: What makes you think that.

Sinatra: Well, Linda always says it.

Me: Linda doesn’t know everything.

Sinatra: I don’t know… she’s usually right about stuff.

Me: You tell Linda..

Sinatra: Shhhhh… here she comes….

Sinatra: You are doing great today!

Me: You think so? Not feeling particularly fast myself.

Sinatra: No really! I can hardly keep up.

Me: Hmmmm.

Sinatra: I’m going to start calling you Zoomy!

Me: What’s your deal?

Sinatra: Oh- nobody told you?

Me: Told me what?

Sinatra: It’s Opposite Day! You say the opposite of the truth.

Me: You’re a butt.

Sinatra: That means you think I’m awesome!

Me: Stop!

Sinatra: Hey- guess what?

Me: What?

Sinatra: Chicken Butt! Lol!!!

Me:😕

Sinatra: When is our other hooman coming home to visit?

Me: Next month woohoo!

Sinatra: Good, I’m ready to see her.

Me: Diddo furface.

Sinatra: Will she come stay with us forever after college?

Me: I don’t think so. She gets to go do her thing and chase her dreams.

Sinatra: Is the little hooman going to do that one day?

Me: I believe she can do anything, so probably so.

Sinatra: I think I’ll just stay with you and Linda forever.

Me: You better! I’m counting on that.

Sinatra: I wouldn’t mind chasing that goose though.

Me:😌
