NECK ROPES

 The other day I was talking to another dog about his neck rope. He got out of the moving box he came in and there it was, already around his neck. 


 

He was very surprised when I ran up to say “G’day!” and wag my red rat’s head tail at him.

 

“Where’s your neck rope?” he asked.

 

“I don’t have a neck rope because I live here,” I said.

 

“What’s the deal there?” he wanted to know. 

 

“Well, I live here, and my Mum knows that I know the boundaries. You're a visitor, and you run madly around the place and fall into Wills dancing holes I dug for him, put yourself in danger of being run over by moving boxes or getting eaten by the dragons.”

 

“Dragons?” he yelped. “There are dragons here?” “Oh yes” I said “they live over near those trees and sometimes they come here, and Will chases them away. I bark at them, but I don’t get too close because they have huge claws and a tail that’s longer than me, and no fur. I think mum calls them Joannas but I don’t know because I’m a dog. “That sounds scary” he said. “Why do you stay here?”

 

Well... I love my mum, she protects me from the Joannas, there’s and endless supply of bacon and my mum NEVER puts a neck rope on me. Why would I leave?

SEA BACON

Image
What a time to be alive! The other day Mum gave me a new thing. She called it "Sea Bacon". At first I thought she may be unwell. Of course I couldn't see bacon. I can always see bacon and smell it and taste it. Hell, I dream of chasing bacon through the paddocks. But this bacon was not like normal bacon. It came wrapped in this thick, gooey white stuff, which was then wrapped in some very dark green stuff. When I sniffed it, it smelled like Will's underpants when he comes back from a few days riding his bike. Not unpleasant but thick and rich, and it could make a lesser dogs eyes water. This is the Sea Bacon Mum gave me. It took a little effort to unwrap it. I'm sure she didn't expect me to eat the green stuff or the white stuff. Maybe she just wanted to see how clever I was. And let me tell you, I'm not too bad for a creature without opposable thumbs. Let's see you unwrap Sea Bacon using just your mouth. When I got to Sea Bacon, it was delicious. And ...

THE STICK THING

Image
 Have I told you about my stick thing? No matter I'll tell you again. I like sticks. And mum loves me so much she has put so many sticks around the bacon-eating platforms, I will never run out of them. I chew them a lot. Many of them are flavoured with bacon because so many people drop bacon when they eat. So wasteful and clumsy. I eat the bacon, and then later I come back and chew the stick the bacon landed on and flavoured up. It's like a double helping of bacon.  This is the magic of bacon. It flavours everything it touches with its yumminess. If you see me licking the concrete, you'll know why. See? I'm not complicated. If you don't understand what I'm doing, just consider that bacon is involved some way. I feel about bacon they way many of you feel about your bikes, your partners, or your pups. You don't get to eat those things. But I get to eat bacon. Sucks to be you.

THE BACON CYCLE

Image
 You might notice I'm not always around when you are. Unless you're eating bacon. Then I'm around. But when there's no bacon, I'm asleep. I sleep a lot. I have to. Digesting bacon is no easy thing. It takes a lot of energy. That energy comes from bacon. It's a delicious cycle, isn't it? I eat the bacon, which then helps me to digest the bacon I have eaten earlier, and I don't have to do anything but sleep while that happens. Then I wake up, go somewhere private until the used bacon leaves me, then I eat more bacon! So don't panic yourselves if you don't see me. I'm doing important things. But don't worry, if you go inside the big high box where all the bacon comes from and get yourself (me) some, then when you return to your table and sit down, I will be there 😉 It's what I do. It's the cycle of bacon I live by, so don't be shy about ordering extra bacon when you're ordering your food. It wil...
