Not My Best day

"No!!!" was a word  I heard a lot today.  It started at the park when I was fetching a ball and running around and flying through the air like Pegasus.  I was feeling at the top of my game when I saw the little grey ball of fluff. I had to investigate, so I ran over there. "NO!!!  COME!!! the lady said, but I didn't listen. The little ball of fluff was a dog and there was a man attached to a leash with it. I expected it to start snarling at me, so I snarled first.  The man was not happy with the lady and told her I should be on a leash, but I wanted to stay free so I wouldn't let anyone catch me. The lady turned and walked away from me.  Hello?! That is against all dog rules of catching because now I had to follow her. I couldn't help myself. Then she put a leash on me and walked me all around the park making me heel.  Not fun. And she wouldn't let me smell bushes either.  I had to do exactly what she asked.

When we got home, she let me follow her around the house and when I went upstairs, I smelled something  interesting on the man's side of the bed, and being a male dog, and a fine specimen, I wanted to add my scent to it in my own special way. The lady went crazy again and shouted, "NO!!!" She is lucky I have great control as I immediately turned off the faucet. She put me outside.

The lady found the spot on the bedspread where I had left my special scent on and she washed it and hung it outside to dry in the sun.  I thought it would be fun to pull on, but nooooooo was the word I heard again.  She let me stay inside, but she watched me like I was a bad dog or something. Then I went outside and took a nap.  Now that was relaxing...until the lady watered her plants and water-loving Shasta just had to play and run through the hose.  I do not like water. I do not like it Sam-I-am.

I like sleeping in the house at night.  Last night the lady had me sleep next to her man.  Anywhere is good with me; as long as it is inside, I am happy. As soon as the lights go out, I fall right asleep.
