Squirrels
Five squirrels ran up one tree. They have to come down again, right? Eventually. People just fail to understand that this is probably the most important thing to happen all day. Could they just be a little patient? No, after a few minutes we apparently must "keep going." I tried a feint to the left, and one to the right, but it was not to be.

Where's my futon?
Some people just came over. They seemed nice. But, then I got put out in the backyard. When I came back in a little while later and followed Katie upstairs, my futon was gone! I walked around the room just in case, but it was definitely gone. They put a comforter on the floor where the futon used to be and I sat down on it very quickly. I wanted to claim it, in case they got ideas about putting it somewhere else, but really it's not at all the same.

Do you want to wake up the whole neighborhood?
Why, yes, actually, I do want to wake up the whole neighborhood. I am a guard dog. I alert people to problems. That's what I do. There is no other point to my barking than to rouse the whole neighborhood, if that's what it takes to make the problem go away. I really fail to see why that's so hard to understand.

Kids! I don't know what's wrong with these kids today.
Yesterday, on the way home from the park, we passed the school again. D. was very busy telling me what a stand up guy I am and telling other kids not to run. Nothing to unusual. Some odd busses went buy. Some kids started beating on each other. I barked at them. Katie insisted that this was there way of playing, even though one looked like he going to cry for a moment after he hit the ground and the other one landed on him. Katie said we should keep going and then D's other friend showed up and we hung out. Katie told me to come up, so I did, and D came over and pet me and looked all impressed. I think he told me to try to come up to, but he wasn't very convincing and it was all rather confusing, so I didn't bother. In the mean time a third kid came up behind D's friend and wrapped his arms around him. The friend looked so surprised. I barked. The kid looked surprised. I barked again. It looked like he didn't know what to do and the silly creature was going to step forward, so I barked again and that put an end to that. Right then he had the biggest eyeballs I've ever seen on a person, so I know he took me seriously. Then we had to go in the house, and I ate breakfast.
