Show Pieces A August 11, 2000 - The Eureka Reporter - Page Three woman and her dog by Liz Eider I stretch out on the couch, balancing the newspaper between my hands, trying to keep the fold from crashing into my face, and Genie, my dog, stretches his long, black furry wiener-do- g body next to mine under the quilt Ive thrown over us. Its 7 a.m. My husbands gone to work and my sons just waking up. Its our time, mom and dog together as one. When the phone rings, we have to dislodge our sandwiched sieves. I tell him to get down so I can get up and he wakes slowly from his furry sleep and ambles off the couch. I push up from my plush nest-th- ree rings, four, I barely there before the answering get and records my maching picks up conversation with its artificial. echoing capture of the moment. Gene goes over to the laundry room where I keep the treats and he sits, begging. He doesnt want a "doggie treat," he wants a "people treat:" cheesse, a piece of leftover steak, chili, a bite of lunchmeat. Hes tired of dog food, hes tired of being a dog, he wants to be a little boy so he can go places. I want to take him places and explain to people that hes not a dog 'anymore and he needs to see filings. we Hes jealous of us leave. You can tell. "Stay, Gene. You have to stay and guard the house."

I sit on the edge of the tub and put on my sneakers and he begins to run around frantically. "No, Genie. No walk today." I mean to go downstairs and walk on the treadmill, remote in hand, cruising through the chan- nels, "Seinfeld" reruns, "Friends," those important clebr-it- y interviews. Actual photos of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anistons wedding. Its too hot to be outside ami I havent gotten my exercise until the sun is way up. I open the front door. "Run But outside and play, Gene-er.- " he wants to be with me. Its too hot to have a dog. In fact, its too hot for kids or a husband. Or friends. Or a job. Too hot to do anything but sit with a glass of ice on your forehead wishing for September. Genie needs a walk, some exercise. Sometimes the sheer weight of guilt pushes me out the front door and I get as far as the sidewalk and I think about making it as far as the comer, and I stop.

"Next winter, honey," I say, "Mommy will take you all around the neighborhood and we can see all the stuff you missed during July and August." Make hay while the sun shines, I say. Too hot to take a walk. Gene and I make the best of what we have. We snuggle on the couch, newspaper in hand, and wait for autumn.
