We’re on the phone. He’s on vacation… with a dog.

“How are you, happy new year,” I said.

“Happy new year to you. I’m doing fine. I’m having a nice vacation except for I’m on Penny Patrol. I have to take this dog everywhere I go.”

“Well I wonder about that. How did you get stuck with someone else’s dog? The owner of this dog goes on vacation dog-less and just look at you.”

“I know, I know. She’s ruining everything. Well, that’s not true. I do have to take her everywhere but she’s cordial. People do like her. She makes friends everywhere she goes. She’s a very smart dog, thank God. I don’t think I could stand it if she wasn’t.”

“I see. But I still don’t see how you get stuck with the dog.”

“Well, I’m a nice guy, Elsa. And I’m hyper-responsible, as you know.” (10th house Sun)

“I do know that.”

“Yes. So I am always stuck with someone’s dog to look after or another. If it’s not that it’s someone’s kid. But it’s okay. I can do this. I can take care of a dog or a kid. I look after them very well, actually and then that’s it! I give ‘em back and I go home.”

“Yep.”

“And whoever gets them back, is stuck with them. They are their problem, not mine. I give them back and say, here is your dog. Or here is your child. I hope they’ve learned something under my tutelage. And if not?”

I laughed.

“If not, then heaven help you!” he said with a chuckle.

I roared.

“It’s true, Elsa. I am known for this. I am known for taking care of people’s dogs and their children too. You know I am. No one is better known this kind of thing, than me…”

I am known for talking too much, having an opinion, my filthy mouth and mind, my grin, my sex drive, my children, my crooked lipstick and for being very, very sweet and ultra loyal.

What are you known for?
