Now it’s time for a good story. Before I do here is a useful dog-companion care tip for you today. Navigating elevators with your dog-companion is easier when you plan and guide them calmly. If your dog-person is small enough, picking them up can prevent them from being jostled or stepped on, and it can also help put other riders at ease. If they feel unsure about stepping over the elevator threshold, lift them before entering to avoid hesitation that could be unsafe. For dog-companions that remain on the floor, keep the leash short so they stay close and don’t rush ahead or wander toward others. Retractable leashes are best avoided. Step into your preferred spot, ideally a corner, and give clear cues such as “sit,” “stay,” or “wait.” Reinforce calm behaviour with gentle praise, petting, or a small treat, especially if elevator rides are unfamiliar. Positioning your body between your dog-person and other passengers can also help them stay focused and give everyone more space.
Let our joke of the day bring an outburst of glee to your spirit. It’s called, “Mom, I’m Sorry.”
Late one Saturday night, the ringing phone jolted Heather awake.
“Mom, it’s Susan. I’m sorry for waking you up, but I had to call and tell you I’m going to be a little late getting home. Dad’s car has a flat tire, and it’s honestly not my fault. I have no idea what happened. The tire just went flat.”
Still groggy, Heather cut in and tried to explain.
“Sorry, dear, but you’ve got the wrong number. I don’t have a daughter named Susan. In fact, I don’t have a daughter at all.”
“Mom... I didn’t think you’d be this mad.”
!?
