Re: [PyrNet-L] CHAT: Albert at the keyboard!

[Joy Mccarron <jemc@monmouth.com>]

Oh Albert--You big brute you!!!   The poem was wonderful.   All of us
"babes" are a wee bit envious of JOY!!
     I can see you now, in your black leather jacket.. Get some "shades"
too.  Then you'll be the coolest of the coolest!!!!

Humans ARE weird!!! That's for sure.  Mom does very odd things too.  Like
sometimes thinking it's too cold for me to be outside!   Now REALLY!!!
Today 10 degrees here at the shore.  LOVELY!!  She kept calling me in.
Brother!!  She did take me for a walk thru town.  Of course I stop to read
the "mail" and she's shivering and telling me to come on.  Not my fault she
isn't dressed for this wonderful weather.   We get home and I'd like to go
out again.  She'll NEVER get it!!  So when she had me come in
again(reluctantly)  I fixed her.  I locked the door on her!!!   LOL
Love, Maggie

poem)
>was a good idea....alas she babbled on about how I am on a DIET because it
is
>harder to feel my ribs lately after the holiday treats!  So if it bothers
her
>so much why does she bother trying to feel my ribs?? Sure it would bother
her
>if someone tried to feel HER ribs!!  Anyway I just got the one burger.  She
>tried to make me feel better by pointing out that she needs to diet off her
>holiday goodies too now and pointed out how she didn't even get a burger
>herself.  As if THAT makes me feel any better!  I saw through the window
that
>they had about four more burgers up, just waiting for someone to get them!!
>You wouldn't want them to go to waste!  Sometimes these humans get
>conveniently deaf!!  Do your humans ever do that?
>    Then the burger was too hot and so she got this bright idea to go for
RUN
>first while it cooled, all part of that DIET PLOT of hers!  She had that
No-
>Pull Harness on me and its lucky for her as I can now outrun her and the
hubby
>both, but I was a total sweetie and ran with her. (After all she did still
>have the burger!!)  Then at last I got to eat my burger!  Then she wanted
me
>to show off by doing tricks for the people there!  I wasn't thrilled about
it
>after having to wait while we ran to sink my teeth into that burger. Also I
>could have downed that burger in about one gulp and SHE wanted to break it
up
>into little "bite-size" pieces!!  I don't know about you but that's not
what I
>consider bite-size!! More like half a burger is bite-size! So a couple
times I
>acted deaf (2 can play that game!) and made her repeat her command!!  What
>makes them think that just because they say some dumb word that we should
do
>what they want,  when they want it?? Humans!  There are PLENTY of times
when I
>can give her my "starving pup" look and still she ignores it!  She may
mumble
>some garbage about chocolate or too much sugar or something...but she
>certainly does not always do what I want her to do!
>   Like laundry day......Here's this whole basket full of socks and towels
and
>stuff and so I help myself, like any self respecting Pyr pup would
do.....and
>she has a FIT!!  Yells and expects me to bring it back so she can take it
>back!  (Yeah! That'll happen! NOT!! )  Then she actually comes and takes it
>away from me!! Every time I do it!!  You'd think she would catch on that I
>want to keep it and shred it....but NOOOOOO!! Humans can be SO DENSE
>sometimes!! They are supposed to be taking care of us and our needs and
wants,
>right??? So what's up with this???
>    Well, we went for a long walk in town last night, too.  "Practicing our
>commands amid distractions of the city" she calls it. I figured I might as
>well play along what with the promise of that burger if I cooperated and
all.
>Besides the extra cuddles and loves and "Good Boy"'s are worth it,  I
guess.
>But there are so many sights and sounds and smells around it isn't always
>easy.  She seemed so pleased with me though.  Guess you have to throw your
>humans a bone once in a while! (Figure of speech only!!  The bones are
MINE!!)
>   We ran into Big Burly Biker-Dude again in town. My "mom" gets a kick out
of
>how this big burly tough looking guy just melts around me and has to hug me
>and have me kiss him!!  What's she expect?  "Vee Pyrs have our vays!!"  We
are
>made too irresistable!!  We see this guy around town a lot. He'll always go
>out of his way to come see me.  He may be blocks away and he'll yell "HEY!
>Hold IT!" and turn our way and come to see me. Mom is used to him and used
to
>lots of different people.  Once my sister Heidi and her "mom" and the Girl
>Laura were downtown and this same Big Burly Biker Dude saw THEM and from a
>distance he thought Heidi was ME.....So he yelled "Hey! Hold IT!" and
rushed
>their wa!!  .....kinda freaked them out, I guess!!  .....but then he said
"Hey
>this isn't Albert!" when he got up close. Then they explained that it was
>Albert's sister Heidi and it went OK then once they realized he wasn't
going
>to attack them! You have to realize that most of the time this guy has an
"eau
>de Budweiser " aroma to him.  As long as he's not driving and not causing
>trouble or being obnoxious, Mom says "Different Strokes For Different
>Strokes". (And after all his judgment can't be too impaired if he realizes
>what a sweetie I am, I reply!) Being motorcycle enthusiasts ourselves, we
are
>used to talking to lots of different biking enthusiasts. (Mom's a bit of a
>Harley Biker-Chick Wannabe herself I suspect!  At least she loves those ol'
>Harleys with the big fenders and BIG SEATS! Maybe she identifies with
them!! I
>did mention that SHE needed a DIET too now!  Ha Ha!  She laughs at me
enough,
>I couldn't resist!)  Some people think it's weird that I don't bark at

fit
>me for a helmet, too, then! Ane a black leather motorcycle jacket....Can't
you
>just see me?!!! I'd be so cool! Not that I am not cool now....I am WAY
COOL
>now,  too!  Just not black leather Biker Dog cool ....yet.
>    Hey I wrote you a poem to Joy and e-mailed it to her.  I'll see if
"mom"
>or the biggest kid can scan a photo of me. The hardest part will be
deciding
>which one, probably!  They have SO MANY!!  Mom wants to take a couple MORE

it
>turns out OK.  Would be cute on Joy's webpage with the hearts!  We'll work
on
