Beamer of Maine

 

Beamer here. That’s me on the right. The guy reading cue cards, that’s Barley. Not the brightest bulb, but he loves to please our people so they keep him around.  

I, on the other hand, have not completely relinquished my independence in return for a warm home, 6.5 acres of yard, plenty of food, a veterinarian Dad and a two-footed kiddo of my very own.  Uh, no. I am a Corgi.

My people took me in as a rescue three years ago. This is the third home I’ve tried out, and you know what they say about the third time; there are plenty of biscuits to go around. That IS what they say, right? Do me a favor and clue my family in.

They’ve got a few too many rules here. I’ve tried to point this out to them, but they are stubborn. Boy, are THEY stubborn. When they ask me to or that silly thing, I let them know I’ll
take that under advisement, or I’ll do it — because I was planning
on doing it anyway, not because they told me to. Truly disagreeable behavior can earn them The Reproachful Rear (above).

I do not appreciate the vacuum cleaner (monster), the UPS guy (invader), fireworks (louder than me) or thunderstorms (unpredictable). Luckily there are plenty
of things I do like,  such as napping
(often snuggled up with Barley), biscuits, sticks, bathrooms, closets,
playing fetch (much more than Barley, even though Barley is a
retriever!), licking people’s legs after they’ve taken showers,
exploring and frolicking in the woods, lying down in the snow, rolling in disgusting things,
and getting scratched under my harness.  

Not so sure about big snow mountains. My legs are mighty but on the short side. Somebody needs to fix this situation (and by “situation” I mean the snow. I am perfect).

 

 

While I do my best to make sure everybody knows who’s really boss around here, only Barley seems to have taken the hint. Which is weird, because next to me he’s a few sparks short of a plug. I give him a pass because (shhhh) I have a weakness for dogs who like playing almost as much as I do. 

On that note, I’m off to patrol my property. Beamer out!
