“Franny, don’t eat that,” I say.
“Why not?”
“Because it’s dirt.”
“So?”
“Dogs aren’t supposed to eat dirt.”
“How would you know that? You’re not a dog.”
“Thank god for that or I’d have to floss the dirt out of my teeth every night before bed.”
Fleegle sniffs the dirt pile Franny has been eating. “He probably read it on one of his books on dogs.”
Franny’s tongue is dark brown with dirt. “Another book written by a two-legger.”
Dirt crumbs stick to Fleegle’s nose. “A two-legger who wishes he were a dog.”
“Yea, so he could eat dirt without being picked on by the other two-leggers,” Franny says and picks up another clod of dirt in her mouth. She looks at me. “Want some? Fleegle’s teaching me to share.”

She’s got a point. Can’t really argue with that sharing logic.

Ahh, the joys of dirt !! Full of minerals and other such natural wonders. Our canine counterparts definitely know about the healing powers of Mother Nature 🙂
