This is Fruitycake. Did you ever have to stand up for yourself? You know, speak your mind? I do. And I’m not ashamed of it.
Brickle said that just one of his many jobs in his career as the most interesting dog in the world was a Sheriff. He arrested many for minor and major infractions. He was always just. He told me that sometimes, as a dog, you have to stand up for the ones you love and yourself.
I haven’t had to do any arresting yet. I don’t even have the credentials this early in my career. But I do need to practice. So I picked an argument with my raccoon toy. Why? Well, one of the wild pigs peed on him in the woods. And the smell was not acceptable. He didn’t want to take a shower, because he doesn’t like water. Like me. But I told him it was him or me. And that meant it was definitely him.
Then, one of my many new toys last week decided to be the silent type. He didn’t want to chat. And when I tried to squeak him, he resisted. He’s a toy! That’s his job! I told him off too. So loud and proud and loud again while Girl Person was taking her cold shower outside. The persons said I may never fit back into society again, because there are no noise restrictions here.
Standing up for myself is a learning process. It takes some persons all of their lives to do it. Just because someone else doesn’t harm you with words, like my silent ball, that doesn’t mean they are treating you the way you deserve. Watch others and their actions. Not just words. If you don’t feel like it’s acceptable to you, stand up for yourself. Or bark. Whatever works.
