"I am sharing five tips in the Art of Cool. Use with caution." ☺ |
Bentley: “It’s Friday and I think
that we have been serious most of the week.
In order to end your work week with a much deserved smile, I thought I’d
answer some of my e-mail.”
Pierre:
“Are you telling me that you received mail from a dog seeking
advice?”
Bentley: “What’s so strange about
that? I’m a Basset Hound; we are a very empathetic
breed.”
Pierre:
“Okay, let’s hear why this poor pup is seeking your advice. This should be good.”
Bentley: “This first letter is from
a Westie named Pierre M. from somewhere in the bayou. Dear Bentley, How can I be as cool as you are? Your Biggest Fan, Pierre”
Pierre:
“Hold on just one minute!
I did not write that letter! You
know I am waaaay cool.”
Bentley: “Tsk, tsk, tsk. There is no shame in asking for help in the
art of cool. It is more than just
claiming to be cool.”
Pierre:
“Seriously, I did not write you that letter. It is not even my paw-menship!”
Bentley: “Of course you didn’t. *wink, wink Dear Not My Pierre, The art of cool is not something that can be taught in most
cases. One is just born to be cool. I can share a few things that will help you.
#1. As a dude, you
must NEVER allow your nails to be painted.
This also includes bows in your hair if you go to a groomer.
#2. Only wear clothes
that show off your physique. This means
no goofy clothes that your human tries to make you wear. Examples include last week’s Halloween. *The exception to this rule as always is being
offered great treats.
#3. When being given
an on-demand belly rub, it is important that your back leg doesn’t start that
phantom scratching. Controlling this is
just mind over tickles.
#4. Never be seen
with excessive drool on your mouth. The
girls don’t like slobber. Also, NEVER
let ‘em see you pant!”
#5. Decide before
your human sticks a camera in your direction if you are going to cooperate. Should you be feeling silly, don’t be afraid
to show your playful side. If you are
trying to sleep and the human decides it is time to model, ALWAYS turn your
head in the opposite direction. If you
refuse to pose, treats will be offered.
I hope this helps
you. Your Hero, Bentley ~The Cool Basset
Pierre:
“Yeah, I still didn’t write the letter. My #2 pencil broke during your #4 tip. You said girls and I popped my lead.”
Bentley: “Don’t worry, I sent my
response to the email address on the letter.
I recognized it as yours.”
Pierre:
“I am plenty cool on my own.
I did not write that letter!”
Bentley: “I didn’t say that you
wrote it…exactly. If any of our readers
have a problem that I can help y’all with, don’t hesitate to drop me a
note. Of course, you will remain
anonymous, unless you are a White West Highland Terrier named Pierre.”
“Pssst, it’s me Bentley. November is national Adopt a Senior Dog
month. We are counting down the reasons
adopting a senior dog is a great idea.”
