conulyWoke up, and Moonpie flatly refused to go out.
Me: C'mon, time for a walk!
Her: No.
Me: You like walks!
Her: It's like the North Pole out there!
Me: It's not even sticking.
Her: It's a blizzard!!!!
Me: It's a flurry. C'mon.
Her: Nuh-uh. You can't make me.
It turns out that I can, in fact, make her. She weighs less than ten pounds. We went out, we came in, there was no need for all this fuss. In solidarity with her delicate sensibilities I declined to wear my jacket. It wasn't even that cold! Silly pooch.
