Curses on a Needy Dog

[Me, ignoring the Snow Goon]

Ruru the Cat here.  Remember that slight inconvenience among the rest of a nasty week?  Yeah, it's become a major problem.  Neediness, thy name is Snow.  So that dog my people brought home thinks she has to be surgically attached to my person's mom all the time.  Seriously attached.  Like every time my person's mom steps outside of the house or even goes upstairs where her pathetic legs can't seem to take her, this noisy piece of lint screams like someone is torturing her.  

[That mom person back there?  Yeah, she's supposed to be all about ME!]

It would be pretty funny if not for the fact that she occupies the hands I've claimed.  When my person's mom goes in my person's room every day, that mom's supposed to spend the whole time petting me.  It's kind of an unwritten contract.  But now, she brings that little white mop along to steal her attention from ME.  So frustrating.  Oh, I guess the needy beast wants to talk now.  

[I was wet and lonely and miserable all the time before]

Hi, I'm Snow the Pomeranian.  I was so sad living in my cage before.  They hardly let me out at all.  I sat and stewed in my piddles.  My lovely white fur became yellow, and my nice, white teeth went brown.  And twice a year, they made me have puppies whether I wanted them or not.  I didn't want them.  I felt weak whenever I had them.  I just wanted someone to love me.  

[Mommy holds me.]

And now, I have a mommy who loves me!  She holds me and snuggles me and pets me and feeds me and carries me around everywhere.  I never knew how to jump or climb or go for walks or anything.  I don't like going for walks unless my mommy carries me.  

[Me with my new doggie buddies.]

Oh, and I have friends!  I've never had doggie friends before.  Just puppies that got a little big and playful then disappeared.  But these are real friends I can play with.  There's a big boy dog that has long, fluffy hair.  His name is Dodger.  He's so sweet.  And then, there's the bigger girl dog.  They will both play with me.  We romp and chase each other.  And they're showing me how to be a real dog, how to play and eat meat like fried chicken and ribs and be happy.  

[Mommy and me on a boat.]

Yesterday, my mommy took me on a boat!  It was so fun!  I got to play and splash in the water.  I've never gotten to do that before. So much fun!  I've never been so happy before.  My old house feels like a sad dream.  Okay, Ruru, go ahead.  

[Why do these exist?]

Crap.  I was hoping the white fluffy thing would get sick of being here and go back to whatever pit she came from.  Hmph.  Why does my house need dogs, anyway?  Why have a dog when you have a cat to worship?  Obviously, my people's priorities are off.  Cats.  That's all you need.  Remember that.
