Dog Journal – Entry 140: Blame Game

dog-2785074_640Busted, you’ve now been caught and you’re in deep trouble. You’re cornered and without escape, the finger is on you and the evidence is being brought forth.  Your pal finally figured out what happened to the sofa and you’re to blame. Or are you…

There’s still one last escape. But who can you blame it on? Find someone else, anyone else and put the burden on them. We gotta be smart about this though. You can’t just go blaming anything willynilly and such. Think about it.

So could one of your toys have done it? The sofa? Don’t be so quick about throwing ideas out there without thinking about who the blame needs to land on at the end of the day.

So you’re gonna have to start with where you were because of course you are completely innocent because you weren’t anywhere near whatever whenever it happened. Where were you taking an awesome nap when the sofa suddenly exploded everywhere? Probably snuggled real comfy on the bed or maybe chewing on your favorite toy.

Then you’re gonna have to pin the tail on whoever did the thing. Who else is in the house? You need to pick out someone who can take the blame for you. And it’d be best if you pick someone who isn’t there to defend themselves…you know, blame you right back or something.

The cat is an easy mark. Of course he did it, it was always the cat right from the beginning. He’s always slinking around and plotting sneaky things to do.

Meeces and crawly critters that love to invade the home are always sneaky enough to do something like tear things up or ransack the food stores. Of course it was them and you’ve been warning your pal about them for days now too.

Birds hanging around the house might just work for a good pattsy. Even if they had to fly inside to do it, it’s just as good. Maybe it’s even better since they’re gone now. They’re for sure guilty otherwise they’d have stayed for dinner.

What if you don’t have anyone around to blame? It just happened all of a sudden. What can you do? You were snuggled up nice and warm on the bed and then- WOOMF! The sofa exploded into a ball of fluff and such. It’s worth a try at least.

So next time you’re in a pinch, just relax and blame the cat. After all, you are such a cute little innocent dog, and who could blame a dog with a pair of ears like yours?
