Poor Scratchy

May 21st 2011 07:22
pet dog greyhound scratchy daisy
Scratchy: Guys, we’ve just heard from Big Boss, and we have an emergency! He’s still in that New Zealand place and he says he’s in love – firstly with New Zealand but, secondly, with another dog!

Daisy: Would you calm down, you out-of-control canine. He likes all dogs. This one lived at a lodge he stayed at and they became good friends. She probably reminded him of us.

Scratchy: How could she remind him of us? She’s a German shepherd!

Daisy: Big Boss had two German shepherds before he had greyhounds.

Scratchy: But what if this one converts him? What he if wants to go back to his shepherd days?

Daisy: Good question, really. The way you carry on, it must indeed be tempting … Scratchy, I didn’t mean it Scratchy. Oh, do stop whimpering. Big Boss is not going to abandon us.

Scratchy: How can you be sure?

Daisy: Because he’s already put up with you for three years. You really need to work on your sense of self-worth.

Scratchy: Perhaps if I offer to eat less, he’ll like me more.

Dear Scratchy;
Stop bud. I know fur a fakt "Once ya goes GREYHOUND ya nava goes back"

I kno this fur a fakt buddy cuz we meet other pups at a doggie doption thing and dad said he liked the other dogs but only had room fur us.
So give lil boss sad dog eyes n she'll give ya xtra cookies and tell big boss how sad ya are. He'll come home soon. Jus make sure when he gits home not to act too happy sos next time he wont stay gon so long.

Snoop, hey thanks a bunch. You're much wiser than Daisy. She told me I was giving greyhounds a bad name. She even said there's no such place as Old Zealand.

I'll do all those things you said.

Dad wus sayen that you gots a thing there called Crocks and they is jus like Alligators jus with a diffrent face. You ever seen a Crockadille. Alligators is scary lookin. Dad says he is goin to the store that sell all kindasa meat and buy some. Says hes guna make it on the grill thing out in the backyard.

Hey Snoop,

Big Boss has got this ball which you can twirl with your nose and all the countries of the world are on it. So I twirled and I twirled and I twirled, but I couldn't find Old Zealand. So it's obvious what's going on here - it's under New Zealand.

Those croc things live at the other of Australia from us, up in the hot part. They'd be good eating (ie, they're big), but there's a downside - they could always eat me first.

Wags,
Scratch

Pleasant, mollifying words, Clyde. Of course, intelligence and style catch the human eye even more, but one understands why one omits such qualities in communications with Scratchy.

Regards,
Daisy

Hey Clyde,

Thanks, mate, you've made me feel better. I'll take your word because I trust it, but I still feel a flutter in the tum when I think about Big Boss so far away for so long with so many good-looking dogs.

Leans,
Scratch

Scratch;
You is a G E N I U S. Old Zealand is under New Zealand. You must be right. Thats why here in the States there is a New York and New Jersey and no old ones. Golly you are smart.
My hooman has one of them balls too. He uses it to show my boy where things is. Only thing is the hooman says we live on it. It's way too small for us to live on.
Ya the Alligators is way big too. They is realy UGLY too. I wanted to go lookin for them but dad says that they only live in the south part of our home where its hot. Guess the gators and crocs only like hot.

Clyde;
Good words my buddy. You, Scratch and Happy with his funny walk along with me and my eyes got it made. The hoomans are wrapped around our little toes.
We can get away with almost anything.
I am writen in proper words cuz the hooman mom said she did not understand some of what I wrote before (she ain't no Red Neck) So for a wile I gota write good.

Every thing will be OK as long as you smile and wag your tail real hard.
