Having a dog is a great deal of responsibility, it's like having a child only more fun and they won't ever grow up to talk back to you. I mean if it ever came down to adopting a dog or a child, the dog would win paws down, especially if it was up against one of those Unicef children, I mean sure in both commercials the dogs and the children look sad but at least the dogs look clean. Anywho, my roomate Jeff and I both have young dogs, and since we work a lot of hours we often to have to leave them in the kennels for extended periods of time, they accept their fate, content to go in there with their chew toys and sleep the day away until they it's time for their freedom. I always wonder what they are up to when we are gone, and if they could talk what would they talk about? Perhaps it would be something like this.
Bear: Psst.............pssst........Mika..............you awake?
Mika: I am now, what do you want?
Bear: What did you get today?
Mika: Tire, you?
Bear: Tennis ball?
Mika: Sweet, how does it taste today?
Bear: Good, not as good as the stuffing from the pillow, but good?
Mika: Oh man that's the good stuff, I loves me some stuffing
Bear: Agreed *sigh*
Mika: Dude, what's the matter?
Bear: Did you ever wonder what it all means?
Mika: What does what mean?
Bear: Life, what are we here for? Are you listening to me?
Mika: Sorry I was sniffing my butt, isn't it great that we can do that and our dad's can't?
Bear: Yeah it totally is, but we should be worried about more then our butts, I mean in this age of socioeconomic turmoil, where democracies are crumbling and foreclosures are rampant, how are we supposed to feel good about the future?
Mika: You have got to stop watching CNN
Bear: What's CNN?
Mika: You know on television
Bear: What's television?
Mika: The big black thing we see those two dogs that look like us in sometimes
Bear: Oh yeah, I hate those dogs, who do they think they are?
Mika: I don't know, the one who looks like me is cute, the one who looks like you is just fat
Bear: I told you stop with the fat jokes, I'd bite you so hard if I could get over there now
Mika: You don't have the balls
Bear: I TOLD YOU THEY WERE CUT OUT, THAT'S IT YOUR GONNA GET IT WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF
Mika: WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF.......wait we gotta be good our dad's won't like hearing we were barking so much, we cool bro?
Bear: Yeah we're cool
Mika: Anyway, to answer your question, the humans are a resilient people, sure they fight each other for territory and resources, but they always persevere, they will pull through like they always do, now as to your point about economic turmoil, it is just a down period, what is known as a recession, as the population grows and the resources dwindle it becomes harder for the supply to meet the demand, and the economy goes into a tailspin, it's a vicious cycle and I personally blame the fact that there is a black man in office.
Bear: Do you have to be so racist? Besides how do you know he is black? We can't even see colors
Mika: Oh yeah, guess I must have heard it somewhere
Bear: Do you think if things get too bad, they will run out of food and have to eat us?
Mika: Nah, I can't see that happening, why eat dog when you can eat those hamburger things?
Bear: I hear they eat dogs in Korea
Mika: Dude, that's not true, Korean's don't even exist, besides I don't think people will ever run out of food, I've seen a lot of big people lately, I don't know who slobbers more, me or them.
Bear: Yeah I guess your right, thanks for the talk, we should probably sleep till our dad's get home
Mika: You can sleep, I've got crotch to lick
Bear: Just don't get your tongue stuck there like you did yesterday
Mika: You never going to let me live that down are you?
Bear: Nope *gasp* I think one of our dad's is coming, quick pretend like we can't talk
Mika: We can't talk, your dad made all this up
Bear: Really? Why would he do that? Is there something wrong with him?
Mika: There might be, but he gives good belly rubs so it's ok
Bear: Agreed, well I'm going to sleep, talk to you later
Mika: You mean NOT talk to me later right *wink*
Bear: Oh right, *wink wink*
