Jeudi Journal - Drifted

The quote for this week is "I used to be Snow White, but I drifted".  Join that up with "Dots" which is the theme for the challenge at Art Journal Journey and you have this picture in my journal.

"It was a dullish sort of day, now and again there were hail showers, afterall it was January.  Sami didn't like those kind of days, they made her feel dull and slightly fed up with her life.

Poor Sami was sat at home with nobody but her pet dog for company and outside the weather was not at all conducive with taking poor Brutus out for a walk.  He looked at her with eyes full of longing for a quick walk along the river but he could see there was no way Sami would entertain such a walk. So the two of them sat there quite miserable.  Not even a look at the TV schedule did anything for Sami's mood as she opened the door and signalled for Brutus to go out if he wanted but there was no way that lead was being removed from the drawer to take him for his much longed for walk.

"Sorry" she said, as Brutus lay his head on her knee hoping that 'sad eyes' would work.  "I used to be Snow White, but I drifted." she continued. "So you can turn those puppy dog eyes off and either go out in the garden yourself or just hang on.  There's no way I am going out in this weather for you."

And so poor Brutus had to go to the back door and bark a couple of times for her to open the door.  Yes, it was cold and wet and the hail did hurt a little if it hit you in the face but there was no way his mistress was going to take him out that day for a walk."
