It's that time of year again, that time when Mommy decides to dress me and my sister up in some holiday getup and then tries to get us to stand still long enough for her to take a picture. I don't want to complain. This pirate bandanna is a lot better than the Christmas penguin outfit she bought me one year, but what was Mommy thinking when she bought Bella jingle bells? Seriously, what? Did she have a brain fart and forget that Bella scratches herself only 100 times a day? That's a 100 times a day I have to hear her jingle. It's already giving me a headache. See:
I think the jingling is giving Bella a headache as well. Then again, knowing my sister the way that I do, she's probably just giving Mommy that look so she'll go back to Petsmart and buy her a pair of sunglasses. Spoiled much?
Hey, Mommy. Remember me, your other dog? How about getting me a pair, too? The sun is doing nothing for my headache. I practically look hungover. (No, I did not get drunk from one too many rawhides. I walk this way because of a bum leg, I swear.)
As you can see, we let Mommy take a couple of halfway decent pictures facing the other direction. The sun was still in Bella's eyes, ha ha ha. She was too stupid to look in the other direction like I did.
Then Bella started getting mad. It way past her feeding time. Nothing, and I mean nothing, stands between Sister Tub-a-Lub and a bowl of dog food. Trust me. I tried once, and Big Butt ran right over me. If you look closely enough, you can still see the skid marks on my back. Mommy calls them doggy dandruff, but I know better. They're skid marks, and they're all Bella's fault.
I knew what was coming next. Halloween may still be a few weeks off, but Howl-o-ween was just about to begin. This is me preparing for the inevitable and wishing I had stolen Mommy's ear plugs out of her bedside table.
And there she goes. It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's Loud Mouth Lassie, wanting to go inside. Thanks, Mommy. Eardrums are highly overrated. I didn't need to hear anyway.
I can't wait to find out what Mommy has in store for us for Thanksgiving. With my luck, it will probably be a turkey costume.
Hey, does anyone know how to type an eye roll?
