YOU CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THE JONESES


How do you tell a 3 year old that not all things in this world are equal? Some are just born under the right star. There is nothing you can do about it. That's just life. Some say you have to be born into it. Some say you just have to be in the right place at the right time. And some say it is just destiny. Whatever it is, be thankful for all the good things you have and don't be jealous if others are just given more. True happiness can't be bought.


Ever since yesterday when Baby caught the news on MSNBC and spotted Bo, the first dog prancing around the White House lawn with hundreds of cameras and reporters following his every move, she has been moaning and groaning and laying around the house claiming life is not fair.


My friend suggested seeing that I'm so close to Barack I should get an invite for Baby to go visit. Bad idea. Baby is not at all a social being. Another dog occupying her space (and she thinks all space is her space) sends her into a diva spin. Barking and howling and jumping all over. I can see the headlines now, "Diva Bitch attacks poor Bo in White House" FBI and secret service called to subdue her. Led out in pawcuffs.


I just tried to explain even though she does not have acres of green lawn to romp on or hundreds of servants to cater to her every whim or 2 cute little girls, a first lady and the President of the United States to call family she has me to love her, feed her, spoil her. What more could she want? And besides she is only 3. No one knows what the future will bring.

Don't let Baby see the TV anymore.
