Try as I may, I am admittedly not the most patient dog in the world. When I want something, I tell myself to breathe deeply and wait, but after a few short minutes, I either hit my target with my puppy-dog eye or I stomp my foot and huff to get attention. Some people may find these behaviors annoying—granted I do not know any of those people—but most others find them endearing and clever.

Of all the “things” I want in this world, the one I want the most…next to a walk, or a stick, or a squirrel, or a treat, or a belly rub, or a car ride, or a spot on the bed, or a little time with Molly, or a swim….is snow. White, fluffy, cold snow.

Snow.

I want to run in the snow and play in the snow and sit in the snow and sleep in the snow and roll in the snow. I want snow.

I want to hike in the snow and walk in the snow. I want to eat snow. I want to chase my snow-covered rope in the snow. I want to frolic with Dixie in the snow. I love snow. White, fluffy, cold snow.

Snow.

I don’t fit on a sled, but if I did, I would want to sled in the snow. I want to do some down dog yoga in the snow. I love snow. White, fluffy, cold snow.

I feel regal in the snow. I feel at home in the snow. I feel happy in the snow. I love snow. White, fluffy, cold snow.

Sit down for this one….it may hurt…but there are times in life when we don’t get what we want. At those times we have to decide how to react. Should we cry? Scream? Whine? Complain? Should we yell? Pout? Find someone else to blame?

Of course, you are free to react as you please. Me, I react with my typical Phil-the-giant-puppy-ease.

I find happiness where I can.

Don’t judge me.

Find happiness where you can.

Of all the “things” I want in this world, the one I want the most…is snow.

I’m a dog, I love life, and I have flaws.  I’m perfect.  Imperfect.  Just. Like. You.

Mom has been teaching from home lately, so Molly and I like to hang out on the bed to see what we can learn. We are very attentive students.

The other day mom asked her students to read an article and capture the main idea in just twelve words. As I am a dog who likes to be a little mouthy, I thought this direction seemed hard. So I did what I always do, I pondered.

The more I thought about it, the more fun it sounded, so I sat down with my pen and paper to script out a few of my own twelve worded main ideas.

My topic? 2020 of course! Here are my top 10:

1. I thought it would zig, but apparently it decided to zag instead.
2. Up down up down up down up down up down up done.
3. I could see the bad but I would rather see the good.
4. Am I in a dream or am I in a dramatic scene?
5. I want to go out, I want to go in, I’m confused.
6. My nose is too big for a mask but I wear one.
7. I did not not not not not not not see this coming.
8. I learned how to make my own fun and find adventure.
9. January February March April May June July August September October November December.
10. Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof.

Is it cheating if I do twelve words times ten? Or is it just 2020…

I’m a dog and I love life. I’m perfect. Imperfect. Just Like You.

Book two: Imperfectphil is Who I Am has arrived!

What do YOU think it is about?
