Labradumb Tells All - Dog ReadingDay after day, I have people writing to express their concern for the Labradumb.

Poor doggie,” they say.

Do your humans know you treat the dog like that?

I know you really love that dog.

And the worst of all:  “You would miss that doggie if he went away.

I really don’t know how to get my point across any better:  I do not like the dog, it’s not very bright, and I really want a dog-free household.

Since that message is not perfectly clear, I arranged an interview with the Labradumb, so you could learn for yourself what I have to put up with.  Some of the questions are submitted by my fans.

Here’s the transcript:

Catfoodbreath:  Tell us what kind of dog you are.

Labradumb:  A good dog!

CFB:  No, no, what breed.  I am a Siamese, you are……

DUMB:  A good dog!  Sit!

CFB:  Sigh.  Let’s try this — what do you like to do?

DUMB:  Whatever Best Human Ever says to do.  That’s the best.  Best human.  Best thing. 

CFB:  I see you have a nickname for Thing Two.  What do you call me?

DUMB:  Best Human Ever calls you Leavethekittyalone.

CFB:  Would you like to go live in another house?

DUMB:  Go?  Out?  Car ride?  Out?  Walk?  Car?  Walk?  Out?  

CFB:  No, no… do you want to stay here?

DUMB:  Stay.  Sit.  Stay.  Lay down.  Good dog. 

CFB:  Sigh.  Do you feel I treat you humanely?

DUMB:  Treat?  Cheese?  Treat!  Good dog.  

CFB:  Do you think I am mean to you?

DUMB:  Squirrel? 

CFB:  Were you even aware that the last nine times you have been scolded, I was the one who committed the crime? 

DUMB:  Bad dog?

CFB:  Do you know that I have tried to give you away?  And sell you?  And trade you for cat food?  I even sold raffle tickets.

DUMB:  Fetch?

CFB:  Is there anything I can do to get you to run away from home?

DUMB:  I have to stay.  I was told to stay.  

CFB:  What is your purpose here? 

DUMB:  I go get the sticks.  That is my job.  Good dog.

CFB:  What do you think of me?

DUMB:  Squirrel?

Folks, this interview went on for another half-hour, but it’s really to painful for me to continue transcribing it.

I think you get the point.

If you have any compassion for cats in your heart at all, you will rescue me from this situation and adopt the dog.  Please

It's all about me. I am a 17 pound cat with a sushi habit. I’m fabulous …. what more does anyone need to know? As a Siamese, I am talkative, intelligent, extroverted, brave, funny, clever, and good at math. I'm an expert food critic, yoga instructor, relaxation consultant, and fur re-locator, but my full time avocation involves trying to get rid of the dog. I am polydactyl, hence the exceptional keyboard skills, and very literate, having napped on many comfortable books, magazines, and newspapers. I sleep a lot.
