Circus Act

“I’m telling you, that dog belongs in the circus.”

Deb scowled at Barry. “You could at least help me clean up the mess.”

“I thought you wanted me to pick up a new cake from the bakery.”

“I don’t see you heading out the door.”

Barry gave an apologetic shrug. “I’m still trying to figure out how a tiny dog jumped from the floor to the countertop to eat Jason’s birthday cake.”

This is based on the true story of my dog Jace’s bio-mom jumping on the kitchen counter of the foster family to eat the sons’ birthday cake. (The boys, now adults, are twins.) We still don’t know how Grace did it! Her foster family adopted her and, to the best of my knowledge, she hasn’t repeated the feat.
