Hi guys! It’s me….Oscar the beagle.
I could really use your help this week settling a little dispute here at the house. Grammy and Grampy get upset when I lick the floor.
It all started a while ago when Grampy started cooking. I think I told you that the guy is a Clutz. Or Klutz, or however you spell it. He drops stuff is what I’m trying to say. Sometimes it’s a vegetable that he’s cutting up or maybe a spice. One time he spilt some sugar. That was yummy. I keep hoping he drops a steak or something but that hasn’t happened. Yet.
Anyway, you know my rule: if it’s on the floor it’s mine.
Well lately I’ve been walking around and I lick the floor JUST IN CASE! Ya never know! He might have dropped something and I missed it. I like to be thorough. Plus I don’t think my eyes are as good as they used to be and that blade of grass from outside looks like food from a distance. And that stuff near the paper shredder sure looks like rice.
Grammy says I’m making the floor slippery in the kitchen and Grampy is going to go flying! I think that would be kind of fun to watch. It’ll probably be like that Charlie Brown guy trying to kick a football.
I figure I’m being helpful and she won’t have to wash the floor this week. Such a nice beagle huh?
I think Grammy is really getting upset about it. Grampy is threatening to buy a squirt bottle and squirt me every time I lick. I don’t like to get wet. Visions of bath time.
To be honest with you, he hasn’t dropped much lately. I’m kind of disappointed. But you never know! That’s why I’m persistent! Is that what that word means?
I’ll wait for your advice. In the meantime I’ll go beg for cookies. And lick around to see if there are any cookie crumbs.
