Time

I am a very busy Great Dane. There is always something I need to do. I have a human who needs constant supervision, a house mate that needs a helping hand from time to time and a cat who needs to be reminded constantly that he is the cat and as the cat he is low man on this totem pole. I need to grab a nap as often as I can so in case I am called into duty, I will be ready, willing and able. It would not look too good to fall asleep while on cat watch. There are days when I have squirrel and bird watch. My human used to send us out to chase the squirrels from the bird feeder. That took up a lot of time as we rushed out and sniffed at the base of the tree like we were going to climb it. I think that squirrel duty was taking too much of my human's time so now the squirrels look like little gray furry pigs with tails.

My human does strange things with her time. When we could be out playing around, she has these little sticks she twirls around string and socks and stuff appear. Now I may be only a Great Dane but I know that it is possible to get socks that are already socks and not just string. Those sock things take a lot of time and I just don't get it. It seems like a complete waste of time to me. I try to tell her by poking at the sticks and once my human sister's dog tried to eat a couple of the wooden sticks. Not one tiny bit of the sock was hurt but my human kept talking about the time spent on the sock. You gotta choose your time and if you want to waste it with sticks and string, I don't get it but hey, it's your time and as long as you give me MY time, I'm all good.
