Woof Wednesday: That Dreaded Vacuum

Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle taking over grandpa’s website once again.

Well I survived another week here at the house. I say “survived” because Grandpa keeps bringing out that loud thing that sucks up doggies if we’re not careful. He calls it a vacuum cleaner or something like that.

I used to really be scared of it and I would run upstairs until he came upstairs. Now I do a little better but I still keep an eye on it. He says he won’t hurt me but what if he loses control? He could suck up the pillows, the table or ME! I don’t think Baxter would fit through the hose but you never know.

Grandpa vacuums just about every day! He says it’s because Baxter sheds so much. I don’t know why Baxter gets rid of his fur. I kinda like mine.

This is a tough time of year for me because I have allergies. A stuffy nose. It’s really bad with all of these leaves on the ground and when those leaves get wet, its really bad.

I take my pills every night. I take one for my allergies and one for my arthritis. Grammy and Grandpa put it on a cracker with some peanut butter. They think they’re hiding it from me but I know. Don’t tell them though, I don’t want to spoil their fun.

I like peanut butter. I think they should give me more peanut butter. I think I should have my own jar of peanut butter, just open it for me please. Yeah. It’s that whole “no thumbs” thing. Can you imagine how sweet things would be if I had my own thumbs?

Baxter the big golden retriever gets “medicine” every night too but there’s no pill and nothing is wrong with him. He just gets a cracker with peanut butter so he doesn’t feel cheated. We don’t want him to feel left out.

Did I tell you that Grammy has me on a diet? Can you believe it? A couple of months ago she said I was getting fat. Me? Fat? I’m only hungry when I’m awake. She said I can’t have any more “people food” and they’re really measuring my kibble at meal time.

She was really happy the other day. We went to THAT place….you know…..the V-E-T. I stood on that thing they use that shows some numbers and I guess I’ve lost 4 pounds. Whatever that means. She was really happy so where was my snack? Don’t I get a treat?

I just hope we can get some sleep this week. They’re watching that box that makes pictures again with a bunch of guys chasing a ball around. I don’t think they like the guys in blue. Shhh! They think I’m color blind.

Yeah I keep dozing off in my doggie bed and then grandpa yells at something called the bullpen and Grammy doesn’t like a guy named Machado.

It’s gonna be a long week.

Hey! Who’s Joe Buck and why does he hate Boston?
