My human. She really is something
else. This whole obsession with taking
photos of us is crazy. Doesn’t she have
enough? I mean it's not like we dyed our
hair or got a new hairstyle. And she
gets these crazy ideas about photos.
With props. Without props. In the woods.
In the yard. On a rock. On the
lawn. In the house. Seriously it is like living with full-time
paparazzi. And yesterday she went to the
dreaded Dollar Store. Source of all
things embarrassing to canines. The
supplier of all sorts of dreaded holiday attire. But WHAT could she have THIS time? All the holidays are over…
For some God forsaken reason she was
walking down the children’s aisle in the Torture Store and what did she
see? Bubbles. So of course she got this BRILLIANT idea that
she could get some photos of us looking at bubbles. Wouldn’t that just be so special? Right.
So she makes the purchase – which is more
than a dollar. Of course it is. And she brings it home. And I get the first round. But before we go out, my human ties up my
hair so I won’t miss a single bubble.
Outside we go. I am so revved up
because I think we are going to play retrieving. Not quite.
The bubbles are excitedly dispersed.
And they fly everywhere. And I
just stand there. And I don’t pay the
LEAST bit of attention to the bubbles. I
am looking for the retrieving toys.
Again the bubbles are dispersed with the excited human voice repeating: “What’s
that Viktor?”. All dogs know that
voice. The one humans use when
attempting a photo. I don’t pay any
attention. Bubbles are repeatedly
dispersed. Over and over. Now I become interested. In the bubble wand. Who cares about the ridiculous soapy orbs. A few convoluted shots are taken. And my bubble photo shoot ends. And the next bubble subject is brought
out. I’m not sure how it was possible
for Frodo to pay LESS attention to the bubbles.
But he did. The photo attempts didn’t last long.
The last subject was Bucket Head.
All hopes were pinned on the dog that obsesses over dust particles in
the air. And drumroll….no luck with the
big guy either. He just took off and
peed on a new plant.
So that was it for the bubbles. Money well-spent. PLEASE tell me they don’t sell kites at the
Dollar Store. Or snorkeling equipment…
