I argued with my dog and lost.

My dog and I had a terrible argument.

It was about petunias. Yeah, I know. No surprise, huh?

Petunias are extremely controversial. After all, a petunia started WWI.

Okay, maybe my grasp on history is flawed, but I know a pretty flower when I see one.

This summer, our purple petunias have put on quite a show.

I presented the compelling evidence to my dog.

She turned her nose away in disgust.

I implored her to look at the beautiful color, the star-shaped petals, the deep center.

She thought it smelled bad. Too spicy. Olfactory goodness is all that matters to a dog.

No matter how vigorously I argued, she refused to concede.

I swear, her steadfast determination would’ve made Winston Churchill proud.

Left with no other option, I attempted to find common ground to reestablish harmony.

We both agreed petunias make fabulous hats.
