Look at you. Shiver
shiver. Why do little dogs shiver so? Cats never shiver. It's like you're
in an eternal snowstorm or something. Is this why they knit those
ridiculous sweaters for you? It's not about fashion at all, is it? It's
about the fact that you have no fur....well, no real fur anyway....and no
gumption. Gumption would keep you warm. No idiot, it's not a chewy
treat...it's initiative; aggressiveness; resourcefulness. You couldn't
heat up a firefly. Perhaps someone should tell you that you weren't
born... in the North Pole!
I recall when we first met...bark! bark! growl! growl! a whole bunch of
empty bravado. And now look at you, a quivering, flea ridden, good for
nothing.... except perhaps bringing in the mail...protecting the
house....giving oodles of love....lowering blood pressure....guiding the
blind.....protecting our citizens....and searching for lost babies.
Hmmph! That's nothing. I climb trees. Even the Fire Department comes out
to see that!
