Thanks for the heart attack kid, good times

I was heading to bed, and I saw one of my dog’s toys there. So, I pointed to it and said “Get your toy. Get it. Toy. There.” That sort of thing. But he was clueless. I’ve had him for ten full years, as of yesterday, and I’ve been trying to teach him “Toy” for much of that time. He also doesn’t understand when I point at things. On a whim, I pointed again and said something else, and he immediately went to it, grabbed it, and started throwing it around and squeaking it. Ten years of having him in my life, and I have finally learned that he associates his toys with the sound they make. TIL to call them “Squeak Squeak”. 🤦🏻‍♀️

While “on a pillow” might be the more logical place to rest your head, this phrase suggests you put it in water to soak when you need to spend some time working something out or coming up with a new idea. This is kind of like saying, "sleep on it."

Todays Scrabble word of the day is: Abnegate
