Grumpy

Muzzer says I'm grumpy.
I swear, it's just the heat.
Sometimes I feel so dog-gone warm
I do not even eat.
And Teka stole my chew chip,
She will not give it back
She grins as she runs past my nose
Her heart is hard and black.
My muzzer is a Luddite
She's screwing up my blog
She cannot get the banner up
That says I'm "featured dog"
She will not let me pack my bag
Or pick what things to bring
She fusses when I try to rhyme
And Teka tries to sing.
I've got an awful lot of things
That I should really do
But if you knew hot hot it is
Well, you'd be grumpy too!

Hey Gussie,

Featured Blog? We're so proud to be your friends. Don't be too harsh with your muzzer -- it's not all that easy this computer stuff. But maybe if she figures out how to put your Featured Blog up, she'll link us to your site too -- especially now that we can say we know Gus, you know, he of the Featured Blog...

It's OK to be grumpy. Sometimes there are lots of things to be grumpy about. Have you tried some peanut butter comfort food to get you through those grumpy moments?

Your pals,

Jake and Just Harry

Hi Gussie...
Great poem...you just rest, it's way too hot for you to do anything else. Me and my Mom heard on the news that it is a billion-zillion degrees where you live. YUCK! Make sure you drink lots of water and get lots of frosty paws!

Lots of Licks, Ruby

Your muzzer did a good job on your blog. What a coup! And I see we are now famous by association.

Hey pal, congrats on being Featured blog! Sorry you didn't win but there was tough competition this month.
Sorry to hear you're feeling a little grumpy. I expect you'll cheer up when your Dad's home. J x
