Get Your Hands Off Me!

I was standing there minding my own business when all of the sudden, I felt this nudge at my rear end. A tap on the shoulder, a slap on the back, or a tug at my arm are all acceptable ways to get my attention, but a touch to my hind quarters is always off limits, unless your name is Leah (my wife). I quickly reacted by thrusting my left leg forward while also jerking my head around to meet the unashamed violator face to face. Relief came over me as I discovered the culprit to be none other than my dog, Marley. Apparently, I wasn’t moving fast enough, so she decided to give me a little jolt from behind.Although I don’t always appreciate the surprise element in being shoved from behind, sometimes I need it to get me moving again.
