Think Positive, Think Good Thoughts, Think like the Dog

Someone at work showed this to the mommy today. I have to agree we should all follow the dog's approach at life especially during these trying times.

Entries in a dog's journal:

Entries in a cat's journal:

DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another house plant.


DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair...must try this on their bed.

DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was...Hmmm. Not working according to plan.


DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are. For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture. This time, however, it included a burning foamy chemical called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a liquid? My only consolation is the piece of thumb still stuck between my teeth.

DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise. More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.


DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room his safety is assured. But I can wait; it is only a matter of time......

Grandma's or Doggie Sleep Over

The hooomans are planning a trip to some place far away in April and I heard them discussing where I should stay. The Grandma offered to watch me at her house or I can go to the doggie daycare pet resort for a whole week. I am so undecided on which place would be more fun so I decided to make a list:

Grandma House Pros
lots of good food and treats
Free food and care
walks on the leash
lots of hugs and kisses
grandma loves pugs
I can sleep in her bed

Grandma House Cons
Grandpa does not love pugs
Grandpa may accidentally let me out without a leash (mommy worries too much)
no fenced in yard to play in
I may chew and pee a lot at grandma's house (again mommy worries too much)
It is a far car ride to get to grandma's house

Pet Resort Pros
Lots of other dogs to play with
big yard to play in
safe play area with people watching
mom and dad can see me on the internet
I stayed there before and really liked it
the resort is down the street from my house
the hoomans watching me are really nice
if I pee and chew mommy is paying them (another mommy comment)

Pet Resort Cons
expensive
I have to sleep in my crate
the hoomans watching me are not my family
the hoomans watching me smoke and make me smell

Where would you want to stay?
I cannot decide.

The felines were here first. I am the new comer to this family. I have decided to try and make friends.
I hope they fall for it!
