Too Much Waiting

My new friend Clint has got me all psyched to try swimming, but mom says it's too cold now and I'll have to wait till next summer. And my friends Bob and Tobey have me thinking about Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas presents from Santa and they're too far away, too. Not as far as next summer, but still... And then my brother Nuno told me that we are definitely moving but not until months after Christmas (but months before summer) and well, honestly I don't like all this waiting. Why do I have to do all this waiting? Why can't I go swimming NOW? Why can't I have Thanksgiving dinner NOW? Why can't Santa deliver my Christmas presents NOW? And why can't we be in our new house NOW?

I don't think I can handle the strain of all this anticipation.. all this excitement... all this waiting. It's just too much for one yellow mutt to bear! AND, mom just made Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and Chocolate Chip Coconut Oatmeal Cookies and she told me I could have one cookie tonight, but I have to WAIT for them to cool down. Geez!
