So Much Random, So Little Time

Yesterday’s new Ducky post at wellthatsjustducky:

Me: Missed you, Ducky.

Ducky: Less talking. More head rubbing. You owe me.

Me: I know. We aren’t usually gone overnight. But the Lady’s Sister was here and you like her.

Ducky: She doesn’t like that cat.

Me: I know.

Ducky: That helps me with the liking of her. 

Me: I’m sure.

Ducky: You both left me at home for six weeks.

Me: Overnight.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: Felt longer.

Me: I think you use the myth just…

Ducky: Did you go to an overnight dog park?

Me: No. We ran in a half marathon.

Ducky: Ah ha! You could have taken me! I love running!

Me: Yes, but you’re more of a sprinter. A half marathon is pretty long.

Ducky: How long?

Me: 13.1 miles.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: Is that far?

Me: Yes. It’s a lot further than you have ever gone without needing to sit and rest.

Ducky: What’s the furthest I’ve gone?

Me: Three quarters of a mile.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: That’s not further than 13.1?

Me: No.

Ducky: Sounds further.

Me: Yeah. Words are funny. Short words can describe long distances. You can’t just count syllables.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: Am I ever going to need to know what a syllable is or can I move on?

Me: Moving on is probably cool.

Ducky: Maybe I could train? Build up my endurance.

Me: Yeah, I don’t know if that’s safe. And even if you could, they don’t let dogs in people races.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: I bet they do if you get me…

Me: For the last time, I am not getting you a vest.

Ducky: Come on!

Me: Those are for helper dogs.

Ducky: I’m helpful!

Me: Not regularly

Ducky: Quisling.

Me: Look, I’m sorry we were away for a night, but I think I’ve made up for it by being down here on the floor and rubbing your head for six weeks.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: Didn’t seem that long.

Me: …

Ducky: …

Me: Time flies.

Ducky: …

Me: …

Ducky: Missed you, Daddy.

Me: Missed you too, Ducky.

Ducky: Love you.

Me: Love you.
