Woof Wednesday: Allergy Season

Hi guys! It’s me…..Oscar the Beagle.

What’s this thing called “Allergy Season?” Grampy says it’s bad and he’s stealing MY medicine. And he doesn’t even know how to take it.

I think I told you before how I have allergies all year. I think I’m allergic to Grampy but Grammy doesn’t believe me.

Yes I sneeze a lot and they always chase me around with a tissue. I hate tissues. They rub my nose and it’s just no fun. Every day I take something called Zyrtec. Grammy puts some peanut butter on a cracker and then puts my pill in the peanut butter. They think they’re tricking me and I don’t want to ruin their fun. I don’t think the old folks have much fun.

Grampy started taking one of my Zyrtecs the other day and he didn’t even use peanut butter! Nevermind not using a cracker. I don’t know how this man functions.

He says it’s Tree Pollen. I guess he chews on trees, I dont know. I usually chew on a stick every now and then. I guess he’s copying everything I do! I guess I’m a — what do you call it? A mentor. He better not think about sharing my kibble! I draw the line there even though I don’t know how to draw. And he can just forget about my snacks.

He did it again the other night. He goes to close the cabinet after getting me and Baxter a Milkbone but it doesn’t close tight! Did you know I can get my whole head in a Milkbone box? I gotta work on chewing quieter though because he always hears me and comes back. Oh well.

Grampy’s yelling at the television again. Isn’t that what you call it? That picture box in the living room. I guess the baseball guys are back on and I don’t think they’re doing too good. I thought they won it last year. Did they lose the trophy or have to give it back?

That’s the game I don’t understand. There’s a ball and a stick but people always throw the ball and they try to swat it with the stick. To me, those are two different games. You either play fetch with a ball OR a stick but never with both at the same time. Maybe that’s why they had to start all over again because they forgot how to play fetch.

Oh well, it’s probably time for me to go out again. I’ve only been outside about 20 times today. I keep finding new things in the yard that are popping up like these little purple flowers. I don’t know what they are but I think we’re under attack!

I better go bark. It’s my job. Then I need a nap.
