I Plan on Doing Everything I Can to
Get This Stupid Sweater Off
by Stripes the Dog
I don’t
understand clocks, the cycle of daylight and darkness, or any other
methods of telling time, but somehow I knew that this time was coming
– the time when I would be forced to wear the ugliest doggie sweater
in the entire hemisphere!

Above: I hate this
picture of me because in it I am wearing the sweater that I hate! Oh well, I am
smiling, anyway, and I will keep smiling! |
It all began this morning when I was
outside just sort running and jumping around in the warm grass,
looking around and being happy, when suddenly Jim came over to me and
made me come back inside by pointing to the house and saying lots of
things to me.
At first, I thought I was going to be
getting a spanking for squirting poopoo all over Jim’s bed two times
this morning, but instead, I got a spanking for squirting poopoo all
over the little rug where everyone wipes their feet, which I had
totally forgotten about.
So afterwards, while I was busy crying
behind the washing machine like I do at least once every day, Jim came
in the room smiling and carrying a stupid folded-up sweater. I knew
this meant only one thing: that Jim was smiling and also carrying a
stupid folded-up sweater. Well, next thing I knew, Jim was shoving my
arms into the sweater’s holes and my head was being poked through the
top of it.
Then, Jim
carried me into the living room so his mom and girlfriend could laugh
at me and say all kinds of things about me. I liked that at first, but
after a while, everyone stopped paying attention to me and started
doing other things. Jim’s mom even kicked me once when I was trying to
get her to laugh at me some more, but I’m sure it was just an
accident.
Needless to say, now I’m back outside and
I’m burning up because either that hot thing in the sky is even hotter
than usual today or this sweater is somehow making me feel hotter. I
think I need to get rid of this sweater, but no matter how much I run
in circles or stare at the ground, it won’t come off.
So I don’t know what to do now except bark
a bunch at Teddy, the dog next door. It’s a lot of fun, but it’s not
really getting me anywhere, though, because Teddy is stuck inside his
house, plus he’s real old and can’t hear or see anything.

Above: I saw an old
lady wearing this sweater one day at the park. Boy, did she look funny! I had to
bark at the dog who was on the sweater, but that dog never barked back at me. |
Maybe if
I get the sweater real dirty, they won’t think I’m so cute anymore and
they’ll take the sweater off. So here’s what I will do: I am going to
go over there and eat some grass, mud, and sticks. Then I’ll poopoo
all of that out, and then eat that poopoo. I will do this until I get
a pile big enough to jump into, and then I’ll roll around in it until
Jim comes outside.
So when he notices me covered in all that
poopoo, he’ll never put another sweater on me again! Ha! Boy, this
grass sure is yucky and these sticks hurt my mouth. And I’m not sure
this is mud I’m eating.
Oh, here
comes Jim. And he has some treats! Oh, Jim, I forgive you for
everything, Jim! You are the best master ever and I will wear this
sweater as long as you look at me for at least 30 seconds every other
day!
Huh. Jim is back inside now. And he forgot to give me any treats and
instead told me to shut up. Sigh.
