This is Fruitycake. You know, dogs get blamed for a lot of things. When we don’t fit in to your world and act like the dog that we are, we are criticized.

When we steal a perfectly good sandwich or a whole turkey that has been left out, we get critiqued .
And when we pee on someone’s shoe while they are wearing it, well, you get my point.

Yes. I have had a full day already. The persons and me had to go into town. Again.

Apparently, the rain is going to be bad this upcoming week and worse than we expected. So we had to make sure we had enough for a few days. Sure is a lot of work to live.
While we went, Girl Person decided to practice her Italian and go get some fresh pasta. It helps her to order things and get to know the locals. Now they even know what she likes and gets her special pasta from the back. This makes her really happy.
While she went in, me and Boy Person waited outside because it was really crowded. And before she could walk away, I decided it was the time to pee if she wasn’t going to take me with her in there. And so the nearest thing was Boy Person’s foot with a shoe on it. Not just a regular shoe, but one made out of cloth which made it more appropriate to pee on.
Once again, a prime peeing shoe getting peed on is something to blame me for. Ridiculous.


Now, Girl Person had a choice. A few choices. She could pretend she didn’t see it. Or she could get upset with Boy Person. Or, they could be shocked for a moment and then crack up laughing. They decided on that. I don’t think I’ve seen them laugh harder in a while. See? The criticism was unwarranted.
So, after a discussion on how to clean said shoes, Girl Person went to get her pasta. She took a little while, and while we were standing there, someone walked over. That someone was the old lady that tried to steal me before on the bus. And this time? Boy Person got to see what Girl Person had told him. She grabbed my harness and started pulling at me with all of her strength. That old lady had some muscles.
She pulled and with her grin of half rotten teeth, she promised me a life of all the shoes i could ever pee on. But Boy Person wasn’t having it. And scurried away with her yelling something in Italian. It was quite a scene.
The old lady and the pee on the shoe. Will your day include this? Probably not in that order. But I guarantee that if you pay attention, the ridiculous parts of life will be made known. You see, life is ridiculous. And full of moments that make it worth living. And talking about. Just watch out for your feet and old ladies today.
