Why is chocolate called chocolate?
Why are things called things?
Who decided?
Who said “I’m going to call this THIS and that THAT and everyone’s going to do the same.”
Hmmm… I ponder.
It’s mini-project time again, friends!! I’m titling this project “5 Days, 5 Words”. How am I going to pick these words? Easy (sorta)! Everyday Dictionary.com has a “word of the day”.
I parenthesized “sorta” because dictionary.com gives unusual words. I’ve found it difficult to find interpretations or ways to express these words. These posts will show my interpretations of the words taken from my everyday, ordinary, boring life.
ge∙rent [jeer-uh nt]
- noun
1.) a ruler or manager
This is Puddles. Our doggy. Ate is his mom. The ruler of our house.
Rulers can do whatever they want and are waited on hand and foot, or in Puddles’ case, paw and paw!
“Take me to the bathroom!”
Actually, he says, “Can you please take me to the bathroom. I really need to go right now. I’ve been patiently holding it for a while now.”
“Feed me whatever you’re eating!”
Really, he says, “Can I please have some food? I’ll be very patient and wait quietly until you give me something. I’ll try not to drool, but I can’t make any promises. Please, will you give me food?”
“I’m going to bark as loud as I want and you can’t do anything about it!”
“HEY! You don’t belong here! Get away from this property!” He doubles as our guard dog.
“I’m just going to lay here and do nothing because I feel like it.”
“I’m just going to lay here and do nothing because I feel like it.” Hahah!
We absolultely love him!
When we come home he greets us. When we leave the house he walks us to the door and even goes to the window to make sure we’re leaving safely. He’s such a great dog. It’s nice when he sleeps next to my bed!
When I took this picture, the gerent of our household was given a HUUGE bone to chomp on. Puddles took that bone and placed it on his towel. He’s very well mannered. 
But don’t worry, Ate!! Mommy only let him eat the bone for a few minutes before she took it away.
