Dog Journal – Entry 135: Super Annoyed

dog-1756178_640I really don’t like surprises, but these things do happen. And when they happen, I get really annoyed. I make the face and just want to defluff all the pillows on the sofa, and nothing can stop me. Basically, I don’t deal well with surprises and I make a big deal out of it when I do get surprised.

So things that annoy me super bad-like…

Sometimes I’m just sitting around, hanging out and minding your own business when all of a sudden, bam! Things happen like  getting poked when you aren’t expecting it. Say I’m all zoned in on the squirrel digging around out in the yard, and I’m patiently waiting for my moment of attack when all of a sudden…poke! And then all my plans have been turned upside down.

Oh yeah, and my paws getting tagged and tickled? Yeah, that just makes me crazy. I’ll be sleeping all nice and soft when my pal just wanders over and does a paw inspection. That’ll wake you up.

And then sometimes you’re sleeping and your tail gets stepped on and your entire day is just ruined. Why? I just don’t understand why that happens to the best dogs. And they wonder why we dogs chew up their remote controls.

Ever had stuff thrown at you? I do all the time. Just out of nowhere, a pillow comes a flying and whap! It’s not like they were throwing it so you could catch it. They really wanted to smack you with a huge fluffy thing like it’s funny or something. It’s not funny. I don’t like it. That’s why I take every chance I get to smack the pillows around when no one is watching. Or sometimes I sleep on them and dream of food so all my drool soaks the pillow. It’s the little things that count the most.

But here’s one that really gets me…the change of plans. Instead of going to the park, turns out you’re going to get your fur cut and claws trimmed and a bow in your fur because they think you’re a girl or something. And it’s not like you had any idea what you were getting yourself into when you happily hopped into the carseat. You really thought it was going to be an awesome day at the park.

So basically, I don’t always deal with some things the best way, but that’s just because I don’t like these types of surprises. Why don’t peoples surprise a dog with a bone or a belly rub or something awesome like a fresh pile of laundry to play with? Not a bath or blowing in my ear so I think there’s bugs around or something annoying. That’s all I’m asking!

Is any other pup out there tired of annoying surprises? And the little weird things do count too. I’ll admit it seems like I’ve got some strange pet-peeves, but I’m a pet, so I gotta have those I guess.
