Annie Bananie
These are the things that makes us nervous:
–Cheryl never goes to bed when we do. This means Nancy and I are in bed and we don’t know WHERE Cheryl is. Sometimes we have to get up and go find her. Cheryl, come to bed, we say.
–Cheryl doesn’t get up when we do. Nancy says, “Come on, Annie, let’s go,” and Cheryl just snores. We get up, go do our outside work, eat our breakfast and Cheryl STILL is not up. We go sit in the hallway and wait for her. Come ON, Cheryl, get up, we think very, very hard. Sometimes we just can’t stand it and we throw ourselves at the door.
–Our women are NEVER in the same room. Give us a break, we say, come together, right now.
–There are two Chows living on the other side of our fence. Cheryl says it’s okay, she knows the Chows and she says, “they have a right to live in their own yard.” We have our doubts. Sometimes they walk on the sidewalk RIGHT PAST OUR HOUSE. “That’s fine, too,” Cheryl says. We hate that.
–We go to see Holly on Saturdays, which is fine, but there are OTHER DOGS in our Holly room. We hate that. “It’s okay,” Cheryl says, “they’re here for the same reason we are.” We have our doubts.
We don’t need other dogs, Cheryl, we say. Riley is okay because he’s our pack leader, but we don’t need any other dogs than him. “Hush,” Cheryl says. “Sit.”
–People walk past our house. We hate that.
–This one particular people walks right up our sidewalk and stuffs papers through our front door. We REALLY hate that.
–Cheryl used to call us and give us treats and call us and give us treats and call us and give us treats and Nancy said, “This dog is getting fat.” Now Cheryl calls us and give us little frozen green things. This doesn’t make us nervous, but it doesn’t seem just right.
–Then she says, “I can’t believe you’ll eat those.” That’s not right at all.
