The one-ear pillow

SCRATCHY'S DIARY
You have to admit that humans mean well. Look, for example, at the fact that they have invented a greyhound pillow. One appeared in the Bosses’ bedroom recently. You know it’s a greyhound pillow because it has been designed like us – long, slim, sleek.

Nice thought, really, but useless.

I tried it out, as you can see. The trouble is that you can’t get much more than an ear on to it. I tried to get as comfortable as I could …
dog, pet, greyhound

… and I did manage to doze for a while …

… but it hardly provided high-quality beauty sleep.

Nice try, people, but your design premise is seriously flawed.

Haha, that's probably what dogs are thinking too.

Probably wondering why "Boss" put the pillow near the door too.

Hi Seyal, I get the feeling, often, as my dogs look at me, that they wonder a lot about the things I do

Yeah, some days, I wish I knew what he was thinking, and wish he could talk so he could tell me.

Then...I sometimes I change my mind and think it's probably best that they can't talk. I might not like what he has to tell me.

Scratch yer daft drongo,

Thut's nut fer yer head, the boss an Missus hev them all ov'a the plice, they're pretend Jo Blakes an yer meant ter grab em by one end an go like ther clappers so's ther Boss an Missus c'n ev fun chasin yer rahnd ter get em back. Heidi's real good ut ut. She's in like Flynn, grabs em an throws em abaht an shakes em an ther innards cums aht an ther Missus roars an ut's all bonza!

Ther Missus ses she dun mind thut too much but ef we eva takes on a real Joey she'll hev our guts fer garters.

Ther Boss ses she might too. Ther dogs here before us took em on 3 times an lived (cost em an arm an a leg but) but he reckons they'd nut get ter the vet's quick enough fer skinny dogs like us.

Yer mate,

Clyde.

The perennial postulation of the pet owner!

I don't know why more study hasn't been done on this. I don't know why great books haven't been written on the subject. I think some of the bigger questions about the human psyche could be revealed with investigation into this issue.
