The Grass-Eating Monster

When I went out for my first pee pee & poop of the morning everywhere was sparkly & very slippery. Mum explained that Jack Frost had visited. Damn it, we had a visitor & I missed it? I must stop sleeping so soundly at night, I'm missing out on fun!

Anyway, once the sunshine came out, all the sparkly stuff went away. I was kind of glad as it was actually pretty cold on the tootsies, you know? Glad until dad emerged from the shed with a scary grass-eating monster!!!

What was dad doing helping out the monster? It was eating up MY grass. Even I'm not allowed to do that! Stoopid fence was stopping me getting to the monster & giving it a piece of me. Plus I thought I'd better stay close to mum & the house to protect them. No, it wasn't that I was being a wuss, I was being a guard 'Dale, honest!

I think I showed him who's the boss around here, don't you?

The next time, pluck/eat more grass when they grow out before the monster eats them!

I live in Canada and it's so white here you can't see me and I am black!

C'est bien d'attaquer le monstre qui mange ton herbe mais ne va pas trop près de lui quand même car il peut te faire très mal aux pattes.

Way to get the mower, Oscar! You have to really bark loudly to be heard over that thing I have come to find, but eventually your humans will hear you and of course, do whatever you want :)

Nessa Happens said...

I'm pretty sure that monster is related to the carpet fuzz eating monster that my mama has. Good luck, I haven't found a weakness on it yet!

Pippin, the Gentle Pup said...

Good work Oscar, and be careful with that visitor Jack Frost--he's been pretty merciless with us in Michigan the last few days. We're pretty stir-crazy too.

Huskee and Hershey said...

Hi Oscar,
Ewww.. the Grass-eating Monsters sounds scaawie... I have a Dust-sucking Monster at home too..

Oscar's mummy and daddy said...

Suki - Sounds like you got your humans well trained already!

Nanook - Yep, I reckon all monsters are related & planning to take over the world

Butchy & Snickers - Yeah, once the forst goes, it's pretty nice here during the day. Keep warm little guys

Pippin - I bet you are stir crazy. I would be too withiut lots of walks & playing ball

Huskee Boy - Seems all us dogs have to deal with the dust sucking monster
