Belle’s Musing – Never Assume
By Belle the Missionary Dog Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
I’ve been mad all day. Mommy told me we were going to Philadelphia and I didn’t want to go. I’d been to Philadelphia before and I knew they didn’t have any grass in Philadelphia. Last year we stayed in a downtown Philly hotel and I am still mad about having to potty on very public sidewalks. What is this world coming to when an entire city doesn’t have grass? I even wrote a story about my humiliation. If you don’t remember my whining, you could use the search feature at the top of the website and search on the word “Drafted.”
We drove all day and I pouted the entire time. Didn’t Mommy care about my feelings? After all, wasn’t I her missionary dog? Didn’t I get a vote about anything? I should just quit this job. No one appreciated me. Imagine my surprise when we arrived at the Hilton and there was lovely grass everywhere.
It just goes to show you that I don’t know everything. Just because one Philly experience was bad didn’t mean I had to assume all Philadelphia experiences would be bad. Just because I’d been to Philadelphia before didn’t mean I could assume I knew everything about Philadelphia. The Hilton Hotel not only had grass, they sent me up my very own bed and special dog dish (see Pictures – Pennsylvania - Philadelphia - Belle.) Maybe I am appreciated after all. I guess I’ll keep my job.
