It's a Dog's Life

I had tried to be nice, I had fetched, sat, rolled over and played dead long enough, this time there would be no more mister nice dog. I was tired of competing for attention, I was getting rid of that cute little inteloper once and for all.

It was the dog days of summer, I was dog paddling around feeling as lazy as a cut dog, I was thinking my life had really gone to the dogs, dog gone it.

I was feeling somewhat like an underdog and my hang dog expression probably said it all .

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but they also say if you're not the lead dog the view never changes.

Maybe I was barking up the wrong tree, but I no longer wanted to be the just the tail wagging the dog, I wanted to put on the dog and get myself to a place where I was top dog once again.

I wanted to go back to being the dog who was man's best friend, and so with dogged determination I decided it was time to see a man about a dog . I reached for my dog eared copy of Fighting Like Cats and Dogs to find some answers and vowed to work like a dog until I was meaner than a junkyard dog.

I was dog tired and my dogs were barking, but it was time for this dog's dinner and hot dogs and hush puppies were just the thing. I needed fuel in the tank for what I was about to do. I knew it was time to get this dog and pony show on the road.

In this dog eat dog world, I was about to prove them wrong that a barking dog never bites. I wasn't really going to bite anyone, but a dog's gotta do what a dog's gotta do.

Even though what I was about to do would land me in the dog house, I wasn't above being a dirty dog and I set out to dog someone.

I was nervous and edgy, feeling sick as a dog but that wouldn't deter me, they were about to find out that they really should let sleeping dogs lie.

I walked ever so slowly towards my prey and did the only thing I could think of, I lifted my leg and peed all over that cute little ball of fluff they called the my new brother.

I don't need a brother, especially one that pees in a box, I am the dog in charge, this is my turf and no cat is welcome here. It's too late to call off the dogs because every dog has it's day and this is my day. So now I just sit back and wait for my humans to figure out that I am the only furry animal they need.

Man, am I in trouble, I'd beat them to it and put myself in the dog house, but I can't get that darn cat out.

Ah, what the heck, if you can't beat them join them. I hope nobody told him if you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas.

There are so many expressions about dogs that I thought it would be fun to try and use as many as I could in this little story.

If you have one you want to add, go ahead, I double dog dare you.

Disclaimer: No we are not getting a cat and Quincy is not getting a little brother. No cats were harmed in the writing of this story. I tried to post it as a blog but it wouldn't let me add all the pictures.
