Dog gone it

    Before this week’s observations I did some research on things that dogs do not like (mother nature network). In my research, I found that dogs and Christian (me) are very similar. Dogs are said to not like it when the humans use words other than body language, and I Christian believe that the people who don’t speak with hands are sociopathic murderers. Another thing that dogs hate is hugging and petting their face/head, Christian is opposed to all kinds of touching. The next thing that dogs are said to ridicule, is not providing structure or rules; I already suffer from ADHD  and possibly other brain abnormalities I can’t handle not having strict and precise planning and structure in my life. This one is fairly obvious "forcing your dog to interact with dogs or people he clearly doesn't like". I typically like people, but if I don’t like you, you know that I don’t like you. This next one most masters don’t understand, "going for walks without opportunity to explore and smell". Just the other day I went to the doctor’s office and I tried to see everything there was too see in the room. But the master (dad) did not allow this, he told me to sit still and wait for the doctor. So after a minute I distracted my master with a game on one of those had held shiny things, at this time I looked at all the things in the room. Other things that dogs don’t like is when their humans are being boring, or tense. This is the reason I am an entertainer. I stop people from being tense or boring. When I was younger, I asked people if they were boring. I am still bad at first impressions.
      As you may have noticed, I am yet to take notice of the dog Jack. I have always known that jack is different than most dogs. Most of the rules that I have previously written about do not apply to the dog. The first rule that I mentioned, the one dealing words/body language does not apply to Jack. Jack does not care what you have to say, in this way he is like a honey badger. With the rule of dogs hating hugging, Jack hugs me. You know how dogs are said to not like their faces patted? One of jack’s favorite games is called slap snout: in this game my dad (the head-master) slaps jacks snout. And he loves this. “Not providing structure and rules", we tried hard to set guide lines for jack, again Jack is a honey badger. He doesn’t care. "Forcing your dog to interact with dogs he clearly doesn't like", well, I have never met a dog who Jack does not adore. So I don’t have experience with this topic. The rest of the rules Jack mostly follows, these are the rules dealing with being boring, tense, and not letting him adventure.
     The oddities of Jack could even inspire an average person, if you look at him the right way. 
    No matter how weird you look or how socially awkward you are, you still are what you are. Jack is a not an average dog. He is short, long, big, small, and just     wrong. But jack is still a dog; he will be what he is, despite how hard he tries. This brings me to the words of my favorite doctor. "A person is a person no matter how small (or big)" (Dr. Seuss).

  1. Christian. Hmm. Where shall I begin.

    I enjoyed your post very much. It was like a maze, never sure whats gonna happen if I take a left or a right. But each move I made, I was nevertheless pleased.

    Your dog, Jack, sounds very intriguing.

    I enjoyed the part where you had put yourself in the pet position and your father in the pet owner position. It was quite insightful.

    This post was odd. But I think that's why I liked it.

    You have a perfect balance of odditiy and maturity.

    Great post!
