It's Just Not Fair!

Well, it’s been one heck of a week, with lots going on, and I don’t like much of it. But I guess my opinion doesn’t matter - grrr. First, Dad and Mom got a hot tub - which does me no good at all, ‘cause I don’t like water - but they really like it. Mom said she saw a satellite and two shooting stars the first night they used the tub. Thanks, I’ll stay inside where it’s nice and warm - they can soak under the stars all on their own.
Second, we went for a drive on Sunday, and I thought we were going to do something cool, like hike or cross country ski or something, but nooooo - we went to this lady’s house and there were about 10 German Shepherds there. I met a couple of them, and I didn’t like any of them, but Mom and Dad loaded one of them up in the car with me and brought him home with us. I can’t believe they did this to me! He’s a big blockhead who’s always trying to shove me out of the way, and he doesn’t obey Mom and Dad very good yet. Dad and Mom decided to change his name to Schultz (Mom’s sister had the idea, from Hogan‘s Heroes) since he’s from Germany and kind of a klutz. The name fits him well - he’s big, a suck-up and not very bright! You can see him in the picture below. I can't believe they've done this to meeeeee!
Then last night, Dad and Mom left the house for Wed night Fire Dept training, but they got a real fire call just as they got to the Fire Station - it was a HUGE hay stack fire! Their truck was just the second truck on scene, so Dad and Mom grabbed the hose and headed for the fire - this was the very first time they’ve ever sprayed water, because it’s been too cold to train - nothing like on the job training. It was really hot and very hard work - but they helped make sure the house trailer next to the hay stack didn’t burn and knocked the fire down enough that an excavator could get in there and move a lot of the burning hay out of the way - they were able to save about half of the stack, but still, about 50 tons of hay burned! It was such a huge amount, and so hot and difficult to fight that the Fire Dept just made sure it couldn’t spread, and left it to burn itself out - there really wasn’t much choice. It takes a huge amount of water to put out a hay stack - there were 4 or 5 water tenders continually hauling water to keep the 5 pumpers/engines spraying water - it took 5 hours just to get it to the point were it could be left to burn.
Of course, while Dad and Mom were gone, Schultz tried to challenge me, so I let him know who was in charge - but the big dummy put a tooth into the top of my head. Geez, he doesn’t even know how to behave. Mom cleaned it up - she said he only scraped the hair off in a little tiny spot - what a klutz.
Then Dad went on a job interview today - looks like he’ll be working at the local farmer’s market at the meat counter part time, which means he’ll be gone more. Mom is going to work for them too, in produce - this just sucks! I’m going to be left with that blockhead Schultz even more - grrrrrrrrr. Well, they should get the same days off together most of the time - they'd better take me hiking a lot to make up for having Schultz join our pack. Grrrrr!
