angry furball
All day long I hear howls, barks, and squeaky toys.
Sometimes one of those humans walk past and say–” good boy.”
But my favorite comes by, holding a leash in hand.
Outside to play? Or learn a new command?
No. I’m taken for a walk. A quick one into a strange room.
There’s a mad furball but it’s not a tennis ball. What a strange yard to bring me to.
The furball hisses and spits. Can I go now?
I would rather play fetch or eat peanut butter. I don’t want this furball around.
My favorite human takes me out. No longer able to be annoyed.
Back into my clean home. “That’s a good boy.”

I love the “strange yard” and the tennis ball comparison. My dog can interpret the sound of the peanut butter jar opening.
Great speaking from the lovely,simplistic POV of a dog. I’ve no doubt we confuse them continually.
