Ne réveillez pas le chien qui dort
Published July 5th, 2006 in Henri, red dirt, Ridiculous Prime, RememberedI love my puppy. I love dogs in general. I like to think that people are more or less good. But having a cute puppy sucks. “Why?” you may ask. Because people are constantly stopping me and asking if they can play with my dog. Sometimes this is great, like when I’m just taking the dog out so he can crap on the grass and then go back inside. But when I’m trying to go somewhere and have had to wake the puppy up from a nap and am already ten minutes behind schedule, it fucking sucks.
I want my dog to like people. I want my dog to like other dogs. But more important than those two things is that I want to be able to leave my house without budgeting an extra 30 minutes of travel time due to people wanting to play with my dog. I know he’s cute. You know he’s cute. But you know what? Ten months from now when he’s a big slobbery bulldog, you’re probably going to be afraid of him, which is really going to upset him after all these months of people fawning all over him. And uh, just because I have a puppy at my side doesn’t mean you need to walk up and start playing with him without asking permission first, nor does it mean you have any right to get upset when I say no. Got it?
When the dog is clearly sleepy, don’t bother him. And when I’m clearly in a hurry, don’t bother me or my dog. It pisses me off and that pisses the dog off and the next then you know, one of us is going to be biting you. Got it?
I almost forgot: Allez les Bleus!
Heee… you sound like a pregnant woman protecting her tummy from errant feels.
Do you think Henri will be as awesome as Lelou was in that hotel in Paris we stayed at?
He’s already like, a superstar, but srsly… Lelou was awesome.
