Woof Wednesday


Victory was mine! Until they went on Amazon.

Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. Remember that new bowl they got me?

Uncle Matt bought me this stupid thing because they all said I ate my food too fast. This thing made me eat slower because I had to keep walking around the stupid thing to reach the food. Aha! But I found a way to defeat it!

I kept trying to pick it up and flip it over but it was heavy on the bottom. However, (that’s the right word, right?) every time I picked it up, I left a little bite mark on it. Soooooo after awhile, the plastic was rubbing up against my lip (Yes, we have lips), and it was rubbing off the fur. Grammy was getting worried that my lip looked raw. Grampy suggested I get a Chapstick. Sometimes we just don’t know what to do with that man.

Anyway, the result was that Grammy got rid of the stupid bowl! She said it was no good and I would just keep hurting myself. “HELLO OLD BOWL! I’VE MISSED YOU SO!

But then, wouldn’t you know it, Uncle Matt went on that Amazon thing and found one of those circly bowls made out of the same stuff my favorite bowl is. I think they call it “Stainless Steel.” What do I look like, Superman?

Good old “overnight delivery” it gets here tomorrow.

Yes I eat fast but I’m just so excited that there’s food! I’ve tried to go slower because Grampy said I’d enjoy it more but who’s he kidding? I enjoy it just fine. If you want me to enjoy it more, feed me more. Hey! There’s a plan.

I just have to find a way to defeat this stainless steel stuff. Maybe I could lose it? Yeah! Take it outside and bury it in the leaves! I just have to figure out how to sneak that by them.

Until then I’ll just keep thinking. Oh and I’m stealing all the pillows tonight. They can sleep with that fancy, shmancy bowl.

    That’s funny Oscar…I was just wondering how you were doing with your bowl :>O
    You have to keep Uncle Matt off of Amazon ! By the way, what does Baxter think of that bowl ?? Apparently ‘intelligent’ dogs like you caused the company to make adjustments to their dog dish…you are just too smart for them :>) Enjoy those pillows !
