Me: Laura, I’m headed west this weekend to hunt pheasants on Saturday and Sunday, okay?
Laura: Fine by me, but you’d better make sure it’s alright with Lola. She plans on celebrating her first birthday this weekend.
I directed my attention to Lola who was spinning in circles chasing her tail on the living room carpet.
Me: Lola.
She’s busy spinning and she ignores me.
Me: Lola!
Still spinning. Still no reaction.
Me: LOLA!
Nothin’.
Me: Laura, I don’t think she’ll miss me.
