If anyone had stuck their head into the Parlor last night they would have been greatly amused or perhaps slightly alarmed.
The Gray, lying on the flowered couch and looking quite handsome in his black turtleneck and olive slacks, was feigning sleep while being alternately adorned with a jumping and face-licking 70-pound standard poodle and a sweet and loving 90-pound german shepherd. At the same time, he was watching a documentary on wolves, in which howling was highlighted. As if identifying with the cries of the wolves, howls of pain escaped him every so often as one or two paws found a delicate spot.
Meanwhile, the toy poodle barked incessantly at two fat raccoons who looked in the door impatiently as if to suggest that they were ready to order dinner and where was their waiter? (The standard poodle and the german shepherd didn't seem to care about the raccoons in the least, and one said to the other that he felt that Sherlock was just crying "wolf").
Amidst this cacophony sat two spinners, calmly enjoying some delicious merino, the warmth of the fireplace and a nice Peachy Keen martini.
Ah, yes-- Friday family night with friends in the parlor.
These are moments to savour.
so who was your spinning buddy?
