be who you are

i got a message the other
day about someone
wanting to friend me
on facebook. i was rather
surprised since
we hadn't been getting
along very well lately,
and the fact that he
disappeared for a week
without any explanation
was rather odd.
i had no idea
that he could even get
up on the chair and use
his paws to get online.
i was suspicious every now
and then, coming home
from work and seeing
a 'cats gone wild in cancun'
site up and streaming on my
monitor, but i thought it
was a strange glitch of
some sort. there have been
a lot of doggy treats
crumbs on the desk too.
i don't know.
he's a very difficult dog
at times. walking him is
like walking a trout on
a leash, and the incessant
barking and special
dietary needs. who can eat
fried chicken every day?
being friends
at this point on facebook
seems to be pushing
things a bit too far. i just
want him to be a dog
and go chase a ball, or
a squirrel, not be online.
is that so bad?
