PMS

Any woman of age knows the symptoms of PMS-the pain; the aching; the "blahs." One thing you might never have been privileged to is observing a female dog "PMSing." I have never had a female dog before so this is all new to me, but I have learned a thing or two this week. A moaning, sighing, frantic dachshund is NOT PRETTY!!! If she were not in pain, it could also be considered comical.

She is laying on the top of our couch, upside down, with her head propped up on one of the cushions beside her. She also lays on her back with her head "dangling" over the back of the couch with her feet straight up in the air. She sighs. She moans. She snorts. She looks at me and rolls her eyes. In my "imaginative" mind, I can hear her saying - "Oh dear God. I am sooooo miserable. If I could only find the heating pad and my aspirin. But, I don't have thumbs so how would I get the lid off? Oh dear God. I'm in pain." And, then she sighs again!!!

I guess I need to get my old charts and graphs out and "teach her" all the facts she needs to know. Ah! The joys of being a woman.
