Dorra dives for ducks.

Dear Readers,

Mum’s been calling me BAD DOG for the last 4 days. I know I deserve it. But I blame the ducks.

You see. On Thursday, Mum took me to groomers so that I’d look nice and purdy for our family Easter dinner on Sunday. I admit I was a little nervous. It was my first time going to the groomers where Mum and Dad weren’t with me the whole time. But everyone was very nice and I kinda like the hair dry-ing part. And if I do say so myself, I “clean up” well. I’m not a fan of the pink bows though. But Mum loved them so I kept them on to make her happy.

But come on. I’m a white dog. How long did you expect me to stay clean? And if we’re gonna be real here. Mum should take responsibility for 50% fault too. I mean. She’s the one that took me to the Duck Park on Friday. She’s the one that took me off the leash at the duck park that had the pond. She’s the one that couldn’t run fast enough to stop me from jumping into the pond.

[Mum note: How was I suppose to know she'd jump into the pond? Dorra doesn't like water! She never goes close when we go to the beach.]

It probably didn’t help that people walking by were laughing and pointing either. My Mum’s friend, Micah (Chewy’s dad) also got a video on his iPhone. I have a feeling Mum isn’t ready to relive the moment right now. But don’t I look happy in the video? Isn’t that what matters the most? Huh? Huh?

Note to Mum. I’m a herding dog. We herd stuff. I don’t have a flock of sheep so a flock of ducks is gonna have to do. If they go in the water, I go in the water. It’s what good herding dogs do to protect their flock. Unfortunately Mum was not happy. Esp when I refused to come out. But in my defense. The job wasn’t done yet. There was still 1 duck left in the pond. So I stayed in the pond. I think Mum’s just upset that she eventually had to jump in the pond to get me out.

Mum didn’t say much during The Walk of Shame home. I’m not sure what she was more upset about. Dripping from duck poo pond water or having to go back to the groomers and pay again in less than 2 days. Either way I was BAD DOG for the last 4 days. But today she finally called me her Pup Star again. I think that means I’m out of the dog house.

Whew! Now can I take off the stupid pink bows?

Woof,
Andorra The Dog
