Another rainy day in May and here I lie on my luxurious pillow/bed which I can't really enjoy due to the socks I'm wearing. Ya I know. It's pretty ridiculous. They tell me to "calm down" or "walk slowly" as if...........
I'm a dog. I get excited when someone comes home. So I forget that the hardwood gets little scratch marks in it if I run. Sorreee!!! Excuse me if I'm happy to see you. That's my job isn't it? I'm cute, you teach me stupid tricks in exchange for dry and tasteless "treats" (I use this word loosely)...and I love you in return (unconditionally of course). I expect no favours (although would it kill you to stop at a butcher shop once in awhile for an occasional bone??)
I try to be calm and I really try to tiptoe when I pretend to chase my stuffed duck. But you know....life isn't easy around here. I get up in the mornings to the same old food while you eat exciting stuff that smells delicious. The short humans with the shrill voices visit us and pull my ears and I'M the one who gets bannished to the crate. Is that fair?
You make me walk in the rain even though I try to tell you it's not necessary because I already pooped in the old running shoe in the corner of the laundry room. Sometimes you even try to get me to wear that little red riding hood rain jacket. And that last haircut!! Are you kiddin' me??
Am I getting through to you at all....???

Georgia, you have such a "Ruff, ruff!" life. YOu should totally join a doggy union or something. Cinder says hi, and Malico says "Get lost. I hate dogs and I have kittens now so I really hate dogs. No offense."
Take it easy, my little white friend.
Hey mom - great blog. Thanks for getting this crazy clothes notion out there for everyone to see how ridiculous it is. Why can't humans be more like dogs - forget the clothes, go with the fur. One long stretch, one full body shake to loosen the dander and we are ready to go. Except when it's raining. We're dogs for goodness sake - not ducks. And yes we can hold it if we have to. Remember, dogs have been in space waaaay before humans. Grrrr!
