Mimi’s Corner-Inquiring reporter needed to know

I decided to do an interview, feeling a bit like an inquiring reporter. I left a call with the White House. (I’m sure that wasn’t laughter I heard in the background.) I made a few Hollywood calls and was assured that someone would get back with me soon. (That was in February.) Feeling a little low, I was comforted by my furry friend, a real ”furry”, as in animal, four-legged, with fur, and a tail that wags.
I asked her if I could interview her? No response. I asked her if she would like a cookie before I interviewed her and she was very positive about it. After she finished her cookie, I asked her the first question.

Q - How do you like your new house?
A - Woof. (It’s just a house. It’ll do, I guess. As long as I can find food and water, it’s ok.)
Q - What’s the best thing about it?
A - Woof. (All the new scents. My nose hasn’t stopped twitching in two weeks. There are new animals around that I never smelled at the old house.)
Q - What’s the worst thing about it?
A. Woof, woof. (You won’t let me loose to find the new animals. I had such great hopes and then you built that @#* & fence.)
Q - That fence keeps you from getting lost.
A. Woof, woof. (Have you seen my nose? It’s long for a reason, you know. I can gather tons of smells and track them wherever they go, and I know your smell very well.)
Q - I’m not sure that’s a compliment.
A. Woof. (It wasn’t.)
Q - What do you wish we had added to the house?
A. Woof, woof, woof. (Are you kidding me? A swimming pool. I am a water dog, you know!)
Q. Not gonna happen.
A. Woof. (Let me out of the fence and I guarantee I’ll find water. There’s a river around here somewhere!)
Q. Not gonna happen.
A. Woof, woofity, woof, woof. (Dang it!)
End of that interview, thank you!
