IT IS ALL A MISUNDERSTANDING!

NO HOOD NEWS TODAY---INSTEAD HAVE A GUEST BLOGGER-GOOD OLD HANK!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I have ALWAYS been misunderstood

and judged harshly!
It is truly a HUGE misunderstanding!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I am missing the strong male influence in my life

Since my Father is behind bars!
An example I do not care to follow!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

And then my poor mother left me far too early

Following her own need to chew the wrong things!
Only a tiny baby and left without my mommie!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

I was a cute ball of fur in those early days

An orphan who could do no wrong.
Cuteness served me well and their sympathy took me far.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

I began to grow up and that deep-deep need began to surface

Something--anything - rubber or plastic or metal or leather
I was getting my dog size teeth and needed to ease the pain!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

I missed my mommie and daddy and thus it all began

With my uncontrollable NEED to chew.
Who could resist the smell of my mommie's shoe-quite a tasty treat!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

I really am not selective--anything will do

You must understand left alone all day
A fellow can get thirsty -how else was I to get to the water?

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

What else was I to do

But chew and meddle and cause a big mess always followed by a great fuss!
It was not my fault my feet are so big and my tail has a great wag!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I even resorted to chewing on George

Though of questionable value, he was not tasty-in fact a little nasty!
Things were not good after this costly chew!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

All I really wanted was to be with my mistress

I would even sit in the leather chair at her work!
Have you noticed leather tastes as good as it smells?

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

When she left me alone all day, I missed her so

I jumped in her face when she finally came home.
What was she thinking bending down?

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The problem could be all solved--if she just would think

I  need my mommie--every moment of the day
Put me in the car and take me with you!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

At the very least you all must agree
A trip to the Shrink may be the order of the day!
Psychosis, Neurosis, or some such babble has to be the blame.


~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Come to my rescue--give me a break
It is not really me---I am just misunderstood!
Why just look at this innocent face?
