A Bone To Pick–Written By Tootsie (chocolate lab)

While my owner normally focuses on tips and ideas for entrepreneurs, she decided to let me write this post for "MY" blog.
I just can't help telling you about the cutest essay in the September issue of Oprah Magazine. It is an excerpt from a book called The Braindead Magaphone: Essays by George Saunders.
The essay is written by one of my friends "Biscuit" (another chocolate lab) who explains in hysterical detail how disgusted he is with his owner's late night "perschnockers" dancing in the buff to the tune Purple Rain! Biscuit describes what he might be pushed to do should the behavior continue. (you gotta read this...it is so funny). I've practiced chewing on a few sofa legs myself, cell phones, drywall and my favorite.....comforters.
He also complains about the "damned slippery" cheap tiles that his Master and Mistress have installed cause his paws to slip out from under him (WHAMMO) all asses-and-elbows puncturing the silence of the night as his furry little body hits the floor. Also happened to me until we had a water leak and we got to change the tile in the den-nobody knew that I'm the one who chewed through the pipe.
If you get a chance-give it a read....and, you guys & gals...beware. Your dog is watching all of your antics. Think about viewing life from your pups perspective.
Now I'm supposed to include some kind of tip. Guess it is: stop and get a good laugh every once and awhile no matter how hard you work...give the dog a pat and lots of cookies.
