Hi nice friends!
A nice thing about being a dog who has a blog on the interweb machine is that sometimes other dogs write to us because they have things to say! This is a massage from our new friend Earl who is a Basset Hound!
My Appearance Belies My Rosy Attitude and Supreme Intelligence
I would first like to thank my good friend Morgane for giving me a platform to tell the world how wrong they’ve been about me. I realize my long face and sad eyes cry out to the world, “Get this hound some doggie Prozac!” However, I couldn’t need it less. I’m perhaps the happiest dog you’ll ever meet. People assume as well that I must be of lower sagacity, due to the fact that I often trip over my ears when I walk. Well I don’t know if you noticed but I just used the word sagacity-and I didn’t even have to consult a thesaurus (it means intelligence). I’m actually up this week for membership in Canis Mensa!
I just want to shout to the world how rosy my view on life truly is. I feel that the best way to do that, especially on this blog, is to submit to you a poem, entitled:
“Everybody’s Wrong”
I’m not sad nor am I depressed
Behind these jowls lay a smile suppressed
Although my voice is better suited for singing the blues
The rainbow of my soul can express all hues
I don’t jump for joy with vigor and vim
But that’s cause I only have five-inch limbs!
I can get sad and I CAN get hurt
When you smirk behind my back that I’m as dumb as dirt
Why oh why do people think I’m dumb?
I’d write a letter telling them otherwise, but I have no thumbs
I realize that historically hounds are hard to train
But that’s not the result of a diminutive brain
I have so many thoughts running through my head
Like what’s that smell? And is it time for bed?
And did you know that blue birds can’t see blue?
And that men get the hiccups more than women do?
I’ve a wealth of knowledge and am a great party guest
And my smile can fill your heart if it you put me to the test
Thanks for reading this everybody and next time you see me around town, know that I’m just like you - happy and filled with the knowledge that the world is a beautiful place. Until next time,
-Earl Droop
If you like what Mr. Earl has to say, go and say hi to him on the friendly message boards! He is nice and smart, and has enough ears for everyone to kiss and play with!
xoxoMorgane
