Me: C’mon Beau. We’ve got to get up.
Beau: Why? I’m cosy.
Me: We’ve got Wilma’s birthday party to go to at the park.
Beau: Whaaatttt???? A party! Why didn’t you say so!
Me: I just did.
Beau: Haha. Yeah. I know. But why didn’t you say so early so I could have put on a tux and maybe brushed my hair.
Me: Oh don’t worry about that. I was thinking of putting on your coat.
Beau: The cow coat!!!!!!!
Me: Yeah. The cow coat.
Beau: Not happening.
Me: But it’s cold outside.
Beau: I repeat. Not happening.
Me: Fine. But can you please get up. You’re heavy.
Beau: Not until you pinkie-paw swear… You. Will. Not. Put. That. Cow. Ugliness. On. Me.
Me: I already said I wouldn’t.
Beau: Yeah. But when it comes to making me look ridiculous… I don’t trust you.
Me: Beau. That’s not nice.
Beau: Putting that atrocity on me is not nice either.
Me: Fine. I pinkie-paw swear.
Beau: Good. Now…. did you get me a gift?
Me: To give Wilma. Yes.
Beau: Good. And…
Me: And what?
Beau: Did you get me a gift?
Me: Why would I get you a gift. It’s not your birthday.
Beau: Louise. You said you always get a gift for the sibling just to prevent sibling rivalry.
Me: You and Wilma aren’t siblings.
Beau: Then why do you always say we’re going to the park to meet my sister?
Me: That’s just what I say.
Beau: Well… if you say it you must mean it so… where’s my gift?
Me: Going to the park?
Beau: Nope. That’s just what we do.
Me: I forgot?
Beau: Hmmm… well then, I might just forget how to play nice with my non-sister.
Me: Beau! You wouldn’t!
Beau: True. I wouldn’t, ’cause I’m that kind of dawg. Gracious to the end. You on the other hand Louise… well let’s just say the juries out…
Me: Maybe LiLi will have party favours!
Beau: You better hope your daughter is a better mom than you Louise, that’s all I can say!
And so Beau and I are off to the party — and yes… there will be party favours…. I stopped at Bon-Pet-Treat Pet Bakery to pick up the cutest doggie birthday biscuits yesterday… and I got him a gift too — I was just trying to see how he’d respond to ‘no gift’.
Beau: You know I’m still reading Louise, right?
Me: ooops. Sorry I forgot.
Beau: Ha! Like the gift you didn’t forget/
Ooops. Caught me!
And PS — I did not make him wear ‘the coat’. Well actually… he refused to wear the coat is more like it but hey! I like to believe I’m in charge.
Beau: Still reading! And still in charge! 🙂

Oh that damn ‘cow-coat’… can Beau tug the coat off himself…. my little doggie, Lily, didn’t like her coat either… and she would always pull it off herself, when I wasn’t looking…. and I would have to double back to find it….. or.. embarrassingly so, other doggie walkers in the park, would be running after me with Lily’s coat in their dogs mouth….

Oh my — that image of Lily’s coat in dog’s mouths…. so perfect. made me chuckle.
And nope — he can’t get it off himself (fortunately) – which also means (unfortunately) getting it on him can be quite the struggle! Here’s a link to the post with him wearing it when he first got it. He was not impressed 🙂 https://sundayswithbeaumont.com/2020/01/19/cowabunga-dude/

Oh dear; I was just going to ask Beau When He Thinks He Might Now Be A Grown-Up…. when I clicked on that link and I have to say: I’m fully with him – I couldn’t stop laughing and I got the dirty look of Hero Husband who was fighting good-naturedly with a co-worker on Team/Skype/Zoom/Whatever – but honestly -WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?
This is good enough for Halloween or a Christmas Party but he’d seriously loose all street cred being seen like this in the park…..
In short – I rest my case – I need to go and have another look – and another laugh!

Sigh. Fine. I’ll …. think about a new coat for him — but seriously? Don’t you think he looks a little bit cute? 🙂 🙂 🙂 Okay. Okay. I get it! Street cred wins!
