Hambones and Antlers

Dear Max,

Things have been crazy here at the kampground. Gramma has been pulling up flowers! Us dogs look out the window and there she is pulling up her flowers! If us dogs bother her flowers, she gets really upset. Has the world gone mad? Why is Gramma pulling up her flowers? They are brown and dead looking, but she usually leaves them in the ground until spring time and then she pulls them up.

That is not all that is crazy here. Yesterday Gramma gave a big bone to the puppy called Toni. She gave a smaller bone to me. She made us go outside and she gave a much smaller bone to Oscar and let him stay inside. Emmy got a soft chew treat. Okay, I understand why Emmy didn't get a bone ..... she has hardly any teeth. Oscar is fat, so he gets a very small one. But, I ask you, why was my treat smaller than Toni's???

It didn't matter anyway, 'cause Toni brought the big ham bone in the house and she left it unattended and Oscar got it. Then Oscar left it and I pounced on it. There was some snarling and growling involved and then Gramma got involved. She smacked her flyswatter on the table and told us that if she heard one more growl, that ham bone was going into the trash. The trash!! She wouldn't ........... would she? Emmy assured us all that Gramma was as good as her word and that if we didn't share nicely, we would lose our ham bone. It was a very trying day. Toni tried to bring the bone into the bed last night and that is when Gramma confiscated it. We haven't seen it since.





Today Gramma showed me this picture of you and Gavin. Did I teach you nothing? You are not supposed to look happy and content wearing such foolishness. I know that you are small and cannot stop them, but do not look content when they do this to you. Oh, I feel I should tell you, this get-up you are wearing was designed for a cat! A cat, I tell you! Talk about lack of dignity.




First of all, when you see them getting this stuff out to put it on you ...... run! Try to have a pre-determined hiding place and go there. If they catch you and start to put antlers on your head, shake it violently from side to side. Roll onto your back and use your paws to block them. For heavens sake you have a ruffle and bells around your neck. Have you seen yourself? It is not pretty. Have some dignity!




Until next time, I remain, your older, wiser friend, Wall-E
