Grandma's Lap

She runs in the grass, and no matter how short it is, it rubs against her fur and causes condensation, and a slightly wet odor,
She use to be excited to see people, she'd leap onto their laps, but then they'd push her down and say, "Ew, you stink, get away from me!"
This can be trying on a little dog. A lot of people don't understand that dogs have feelings too!
Poor little Tyra.

Her  mama would bathe her. Bath? Shower? She knew those words, and they made her put her ears down and look ashamed.
After the wretched bath or shower, her mother would hold her close and tell her that she smells so good. She would believe her mother and after she dried off, and got over the traumatic experience of a bath, she'd get happy.
Happy to see the next person who walked through the door.
Happy to leap into their arms, and be caressed so tight!
Then bam! She goes flying onto the floor with the words, "Ew, you STILL stink."

With her ears down and her eyes low she would walk away with her once cute perky tail between her legs.
Her mother would grab her and hold her close and say, "Oh, you don't stink Ty! They're just kidding!"
But it was too late, Tyra knew they were right.

Until ONE day...
Tyra went to her Grandma's house.
Grandma's smelling isn't so great after she got a cold her smelling never returned back to normal,
And Grandma's voice sounds a lot like Mama's, except for sweeter, and kinder.
Grandma has her favorite purple recliner.
Granda sits on her pretty purple and lavendar fleece blanket,
The sun shines in right there on Grandma's lap.
Grandma has a nice cozy warm fleece robe that she wears, or holds on top of her lap sometimes, and oh laying on it is so warm and cozy!!!
And BEST of all!!!
Grandma let's Tyra jump on her lap and lay there with the sunlight on her back.
Tyra loves going to Grandma's house.
Tyra even runs away from home sometimes, just go to sit on Grandma's lap.
But when Tyra returns from Grandma's house, NOBODY calls her stink, because Grandma not only has a sweet voice, but she also smells sweet too.

Tyra loves Grandma's lap.
Grandma RARELY says, "Ew, Ty you stink!"
Grandma RARELY pushes Ty off of her lap.
Grandma even apologizes for waking Ty up sometimes!
Ty says, "Grandma is sweet, and I'm sweet when I'm with her!"
