I help a new team to victory - same old, same old at home

Got to the rink a little late today (too much time spent in the workshop nursing the latest birdhouses toward completion) and found the teams out of balance.

“I’ll switch to the white team,” I said, “and play stay-at-home defense. Should help even things out.”

It did alright. White team, for the first time in a dog’s age, won the game.

Yup. I was brilliant.


["Better luck next time, pal"]

Got home, told Sweets the news.

“I played stay-at-home and set up a couple of great goals. Tipped the balance, I’d say,” I said.

“You’d better do your laundry tonight. Your room smells,” she replied.

Yup. She was right.

Shoulda kept my mouth shut.
