Somedays you just have a flea.

Being a dog is a great way to go. I mean things can't get much better than the life I live. I get to spend my days protecting my house... I mean my owner's house. (Let's let them think it's theirs okay?... it'll be our secret) I get to get plenty of water and yummy dog food. I get to chew on rawhides and make my owner's smile at my funny tricks. Ahhh what a life. But every once in a while, I get that weird itch...

You got it. a flea.

If you haven't noticed, I have pretty short limbs. Yes, it works to my advantage because it makes me irresistibly adorable, but when it comes to scratching... Well let's just say i got the short end of the stick. So when I get a flea it really stinks. But I know that's just part of being irresistible, even fleas want to be near me.

It happens, but I know eventually I will either find a way to kill it, or my owner will scream at the top of her lungs and make the other owner come pull it off me and kill it. She is funny that way. But good thing her husband is such a good man. (ok, he paid me to say that. but, you can donate too and i can give you a glowing recommendation on my blog! BTW, I like to get paid in table scraps, smaller denominations please. thank you.)

Anyways, as my good friend Benji Larose (the late John Denver's beagle) would say, some days are diamonds and somedays you just have a flea. So remember that when things may not seem to go your way, because this too, will pass.
