Beware the potty pirates!

Blitzen on My Blog - Thu, November 01 2007

Ahoy there mateys. Something strange is going on here. I thought I was the one responsible for stealing and plundering around here but it turns out that I'm not alone. We have potty pirates in our yard. After a long stint on night watch, I prepare to go patrol the yard. As I stretch my legs, they stalk me through the dew laden grass. I can see them hiding in the mist but why are they here? As I silently walk my path, they sneak closer and closer. I finally give into the call of nature and they attack! They come at me with plastic pans and shine a bright light in my eyes. I panic(just momentarily) and prepare to flee and they retreat. I think it's safe once again and return to my business. But no, they return and come at me again with their plastic weapons. What are they doing? Are they going to use my life force for chemical warfare? Why do they attack me at my most vulnerable moments? I'm warning you mateys, be alert. If you are going outside, take a friend. That way you can take turns doing your business while the other one protects you. Be careful out there-the potty pirates are on the loose!!

AAARRRGGGHHH! I hate when that happens! Take your weapon and run them through! Maybe it's a new swashing and buckling technique.

Wow! I'm scared now. Thanks for the warning.

This has happened to me before. But that's not all. There was a period of time that I would go out and do my business #1 while out of nowhere...someone from behind me grabs my front paws and positions me so I'm tilted and bottom heavy and just about on my hind legs!??? What the??? Of course I get so distracted by being front-lifted that I stop doing my business and wiggle away to another spot while I pee quickly and get the heck back on the patio!! BEWARE!!!!

It was mom. She was told by the vet to try and lift Freckles up so she's more vertical while she peed and maybe she could pee out the stone. That way the vet wouldn't have to put Freckles under to get the stone out...it didn't work for us at home but it was incredibly funny to watch! HaHaHaHa! Mom says good thing we have a privacy fence...it would look like Mom was slow dancing with Freckles!

Right genius. The "potty pirates" are stalking you. I think you need to take that outfit off. It seems to be affecting your brain. Did you not hear mom and dad talking about you, sicky boy? They are the ones catching your pee to give to the vet. DUH! I'm sure you probably got another exotic disease that'll score you more sympathy and special attention. Maybe you should get that long girly hair outta your ears and you would know what's going on around here. And take off the silly get up while you're at it.

Chase, you seem to have gotten up on the wrong side of the crate today, cranky boy.

Wow, Chase. Nicely said. That's about how I feel when Kirby suddenly comes down with some "disease".
