Me tricked Bugs

Last night me tricked Bugz off of tha seat beside Mommy so me could get up beside her. How do you ask?? Well..........

See it waz like thiz. All ebening, Bugz and Hank had been hogging the spot beside Mommy and not letting me get in me rightful place (beside Mommy). When Hank went home with Auntie Margert me thought me would finally be able to curl up beside Mommy but nooooooo Bugz had climb back up beside her once again. Me went ober to the doggie sofa (yep me and Bugz haz our own sofa) and looked at Mommy and started to whine.

Now Mommy can't stand to hear me whine cauze it'z not like a normal dog whine, it'z more like a deep breathy sound that herz findz most annoying. Her kept telling me to hush and wait me turn. Well me had been waiting me turn all ebening and that iz why me waz whining.

Finally me came up with a most brilliant idea from thiz boxer brain. Me got up off of tha doggie sofa and went up the stepz to tha kitchen and stood there looking back at Mommy and Bugz. And me whined and whined and looked at the doggie door. That'z all it took to pique (did you like that big work for a boxer?) Bugz interest. Himz got off tha sofa and came running up tha stairz. That waz the moment me waz waiting for. Az Bugz came up the stairz me pazzed him going back down the stairz and got on the sofa beside Mommy. Me master boxer plan had worked!!!! Me had me spot back Bugz waz on the doggie sofa where himz belonged.

It's me job

As the good boxer me iz, it'z become me job to wake Mommy in the morning during the week. It was a bit confuzing last week cauze herz was on bacation but me figgered it out. See when the alarm goez off at 5:15 in tha morning, me barkz at Mommy to be sure she knowz itz time to get up and then me goez back to bed until Daddy getz me and Bugz breakfast ready. If tha alarm doezn't go off then we all sleepz in until at least 7:30, that iz if me and Bugz can stand it which iz only on tha weekendz usually.

Yesterday morning waz New Yearz day and eben though it waz a week day we all slept in. Tha only problem waz that Mommy waz sick with a cold so herz waz in the spare room with tha door shut. When Mommy iz sick me job becomez guarding her and making sure nobody botherz her. Thiz can be a problem sometimez. Like for instance yesterday morning. See me waz laying outside tha door cauze me waz worried to death about her being sick and me had to be sure nobody bothered her. Daddy came out of tha bedroom and wanted me to move out of himz way but me wanted to guard Mommy so me snapped at Daddy. Well me didn't mean anything personal by it, but me didn't want anyone to bother Mommy.

It seemz me defeated the purpose by cauzing thiz commotion. Mommy got up to see what waz going on and fussed at me for doing me job. She said I shouldn't take my job so seriously all of tha time. Then Daddy wouldn't talk to me all day either cauze himz waz not happy with me doing me job. Me sure haz a hard time figgering out how to do me job and keep everybody happy. All me wanted to do waz guard Mommy so herz could rest and instead me getz in trouble for doing me self impozed job.

Life can sure be hard when you iz a working boy. Guezz me needz to go check the Boxer Union Rule Book to see what it sayz about jobz and how themz should be handled so az not to upset the humanz
