I have got to say, being a dog is wonderful!
Take today for example:
I woke up, and without even asking, was given something to eat. I didn't have to beg or anything!! It was just there waiting for me. Three times a day I get fed the same thing, and you know what? I love it. Every time my owners ask if I am hungry, of course I perk up my ears. Or to the word "breakfast", or especially "treat". Oh yes. I love those words. Because when they say those words I get food. I live for food. . . and sleep. . . and playtime. . . and food.
After my beg-less breakfast I took a nap while my owner played on this contraption I have heard them call a. . . oh biscuit, what do they call it. . . a lab. . . a lab something. Lab. . .top? Whatever. What is the fascination with that little box anyway? I had to find out for myself, so here I am, doing what humans do (some of them all day from what other dogs in the neighborhood tell me.)
I can see why they like it so much, especially when you have longer paws like humans do, and you know of a place called YouTube. Did you know that you can see chickens any time that you want, all by looking at the little lab. . . box? It is awesome!! I love chickens (and anything else with wings). They are never going to tear me away from this thing. . . I could watch chickens all day. If only I could just taste them. . .
After my nap, I had to get into my kennel because my owners were leaving. No complaints here! I love that word: "kennel". Oooo, I get excited every time I hear it. Well, not every time. Sometimes when I am told to get into my kennel I give my owners the "are you serious?" look, or the "do I have to?" look. They seem to know what I am trying to tell them, but they never take me seriously. No matter how cute I try to be, they still put me in there. Oh well, most of the time I like my kennel. It is my safe place, not to mention I get to sleep when I go in there, and I get a treat every time (mmm peanut butter. . .) Two of my favorite things.
When they got home, I was so excited!! When am I not excited? When I am asleep. Pretty much. I love when the alpha plays with me. I go crazy!! I love when we can be silly. I run all over and bang into every wall that I possibly can. It makes me so happy. I really can't think straight, I grab anything in my mouth that I possibly can and run around with it. They seem to think it is funny, so I keep doing it. My owners especially like it when I run on the cold hard, slippery floor, because then I have even less control. I love play time!!
Now it is nap time again. Hopefully I will get to snuggle with the alpha owner. That would make today even better.
