Puppy Power

My friend Ashley brought her brand new baby pug over today, and well, there's not a much more joyous sight than a tiny puppy with little puppy ears and a little puppy tail bounding through a new yard for a first time. A little fearless explorer unafraid of anything, running so fast that when he stopped, he actually rolled head over heels. Nipping at the big dogs as if he weren't a little pipsqueak, as if he weren't less than a fifth of their size. Uninhibited, ready to take on the world. Oh to have the energy of a pint-sized pug! And I'm thankful that after days of beating my head against my computer, stuck on my script and feeling utterly uninspired, all it took was watching that little puppy try to slay my slipper like a dragon and I finished my script within hours. If I win an Oscar, I'm thanking Oscar the pug:)
