Oggie’s Life

Hi. My name is Oggie, and I want to rebel.

I don’t want to do what society or the man wants me to do. I don’t want to go on walks, grab the morning paper, or interact with other people, on the man’s time. I want to do that on my own time. Instead of going out the door on the man’s time, I will storm out the door. I will ask for my own door. I’m never listened to by other people though. I will still try to get them to listen.

In the morning, when I need to get the newspaper, I will not. I don’t even read the paper, so why do I have to get it? When other people see me, I won’t talk to them and interact. I will just sit and stare at them. This will make me happy.

Well, I guess I do like interacting with other people because it puts a smile on their face. I jump up and lick them, and they love it. The man is always so happy and loving when I grab his newspaper. He rewards me right after. It is easier when I go outside for walks and the bathroom on his time.

He is my favorite human. I will do what the man wants me to do because I love the man.

I will forget what I have just said because the man works hard for me to have a good life. I am the luckiest dog in the world to have the man and all of the nice people. I will go ask for bellyrubs now and remember to love my human with some licks.

Goodbye wall that I have been staring at.
