a note to my dogs

Dear Ferris and Riley,

You’re adorable, and I’m happy that you’re playing with each other. It’s especially cute when Riley dives down with her butt in the air and bites the carpet while she wags her tail so Ferris will chase her.

But I’m trying to finish breaking this story, and every time you crash into my chair or run under the table you kind of disturb my concentration.

Also, running over next to me and panting heavily while you wait for the other to quit whipping the rope around and get back to chasing you is cute and everything, but I’m not "safe" or "base" so you can just as easily do your thing on the other side of the room.

Stop giving me that look. I’m not taking you for a walk until I get more work done, which I can’t do for all the reasons I’ve outlined in this note. I don’t care if you roll over on your back and wag your tail while you look at me upside down.

Hey, I think there are some birds on the patio. You should totally go out there and see how fast you can make them fly away.

Signed,

The Guy Who Feeds You

  1. Hahaha! Boy, that sounds familiar. Mine obviously have different names and are cats but still… No “take me for a walk!” looks but lots of “gushy food now, human!” looks with the appropriate cute meows and rolling around on their backs. Funny! 🙂

  2. I’m with you on this when Charlie wants to play. He brings the ball and drops it on my feet. Funny share.
    Oh yeah, ask your dogs to think good thoughts; Charlie got neutered today. 🙁

  5. Haha. I love dogs. Have two in the house, myself.
    They start playing like that, forget getting anything done until they wear themselves clean out.
    On a curious note…your dogs surf cyberspace and can read?
    Awesome. =)

  7. Ive compossed similar notes to my cats.
    Or tried to anyway. Riley (heh. I just realized your dog and my cat have the same names) walks across the keyboard enough to type random gibberish, Rascal ‘mouse-sits’ and when Lacie walks across it, she manages to restart my computer by herself, or cause enough damage that the only way to undo it is to restart.
    So, yeah. They havent seen my notes 🙁

  9. I have composed my own note like that to my cat.
    Dear Smokey ,
    I love you and all and I know you love to follow me around all day and night but when you follow so close your paws or tail wind up under my feet because your not giving me time enough to react , don’t chomp my foot and hiss at me.
    The guy who saved you off the streets as a kitten, feeds you, and cleans your litter box.

  12. Interesting. Your dogs distract with romping; my cat distracts with sloth. I will be busy with something, frantically typing away, only to notice that my foot seems wedged and my leg is cramping. Sure enough, my cat has decided the best place to sleep is THISCLOSE to me, in a position that is most likely to cause me great pain. Should I dare to interrupt her sleep, she fixes me with a glare that could cool the surface of the sun. [sigh] Still, she seems to like me well enough when there’s food to be had, or a freshly scooped litterbox to enjoy.

  15. Skippy is jealous of Wil!
    “Dave pointed out that I occasionally get hit on by female fans, via email. To which I responded, “Sure I may get bitches, but I don’t get Wil Wheaton bitches.”
    LOL

  16. i have two dogs. they are playing as we speak, biting each other’s neck’s, etc. my husband is writing and is all – could you make the dogs be quiet and i’m all – yeah in a minute – i’ve gotta surf on over to wwdn iX and see what’s going on over there.

  17. LOL Too cute! At our house it is the cats and other small critters that distract us. Look out when the ferret is playing with the kittens, as it is total mayhem! =^..^=
