Worth the Wait

 ***********************************





"Hunga, you have more energy than a 220 socket!" Mimi said with a laugh as the pooch stood by where his leash hung, whining and looking at her with hope-filled eyes.


"Tell you what," she continued, "if you'll let me finish getting these veggies chopped, I'll take us to the off-leash park so you can have a good run, okay?  Maybe one of your doggie buddies will be there, too, we'll see."


Recognizing the tone of promise in her voice and the words "park" and "off-leash run," as well as knowing that such an adventure always ended with a visit to the bakery that made dog treats, too, he settled down for a snooze.


He knew it wouldn't be long, and it would be worth the wait.



Linking up with Denise at Girlie On The Edge Blog, where she hosts Six Sentence Stories, and the cue is Energy.

  4. I am glad he realizes that an off-leash park, doggie friends and treats should be worth the wait.
