Humiliation



Yesterday was not a good day. 

Normally, every day works like this. I get up and take Eddie for a walk, and then I come back and eat a little breakfast, climb up on the couch or under the bed and take a nap for about 4 hours.

Then, I wake up when Eddie comes home for lunch around noon, hang out with him for about an hour, then I go back to sleep for another 4-5 hours.

Eddie gets home at around 5, then Kristen, then I take one of them outside to watch me poop. This always results in me getting something called a "greenie", which I enjoy, even though I have no idea what's in it. Then they sit on the couches for a while to watch people talk, and eat their dinner, and sometimes I get some of their leftover food. Then I start grabbing toys and asking them to play.

Well, yesterday, Kristen's all "You get to come with me today!" So I get in the car and we go to this place with these really nice ladies who are all happy to see me. Normally when we go anywhere, I'm kind of just there to visit. Not yesterday. I go in, and I thought I was going somewhere else with Kristen. Well, I hear some other dogs in the back, and they're barking and whatever, and I'm realizing what's going on. I try to make a break for it when I realize that one of the other ladies has my leash and Kristen is heading out the door. I've been duped.

They proceed to bathe me and shave all my hair. I worked really hard to make my hair the way it is. I've rolled in a lot of grass lately, and I like the way I smell. Now I smell like a human. And I look ridiculous. 

You can see my displeasure. And they put a scarf on me. A scarf. On a dog. Dogs don't wear scarves. We wear our hair. That's it. Eddie came to pick me up, and I made sure to get out of there as quickly as I could. I peed in excitement on the first thing I could when I stepped outside.

I mean, it's not all bad. I'm a lot cooler when I sleep and I'm not panting as much. But it was a long day, and I was tired when it was over. 

On a different note, I pooped twice in a span of five minutes tonight.
