This journal has gone to the dogs!

May I please assert once again that I like Kate Bosworth? I think she's charming, funny, intelligent, gorgeous and probably the best girlfriend Orli could ever ask for -- and some of this actually comes of privledged information. So please, do not read anything into the title of this new chapter of The Luckiest Dog in the World...it's just that Dogs have a way of speaking...

(Oh, and this is still un-beta read. I'm just faffing around anyhow)

The Trouble with Bitches


Alpha Male’s bitch was angry for a long time that night, and when the next day came he slipped out of the house with a tired posture and a hushed voice. He put my lead on the collar and I let him follow me to the Car, and the two of us went to the play place and the little house. We ate Food in the big tent and lots of people came by to say ‘hello!’ and scratch my ears but Alpha Male got no scratches and people talked softer after they saw his sad face and tail down. I think he was sorry that he had made his bitch mad, and that Pretends Man and Treats-in-pockets had left the night before.

After a while it was time for him to play and he made ready with his friends, including Laughs-easy, who rubbed my ears and told me secrets when no one was looking. I like it when people tell me secrets, even though I didn’t understand human talk very well. I would never tell a secret to anyone else after it had been told to me. Dogs are very loyal like that.

Everyone was making busy and I saw that they had forgotten about me for a while, so I got out of the little house without being Tied Up and had a chance to explore the neighborhood. This was very interesting because when no one notices you there are lots of places to hide, like under big trucks, and sometimes people leave their Food out and they probably don’t mind that you eat it.

I lay in the shade for a while because it is hot there in ‘Spain’. Someone drove a big truck up and stopped it and it was dragging a big box on wheels that had horses in it, and they took the horses out and put them in a pen. I thought about chasing the horses around for a while, but it really was too hot for all that Excitement and it would probably end with me getting Yelled at. But there was one really fantastic thing about being there, and it was when they cleaned out the back of the trailer and then there was soft warm horseshit on the ground! I ran right over and covered my smell really good with the incredible rich sharp green clover scent of it and I was a Very Happy Dog!

When I got bored of that I followed Alpha Male’s scent to where he was doing his playing and when I found him I wanted to show off my wonderful new scent. He saw me coming and his eyes got big and I hadn’t ever seen him so surprised by my odor before, and he must have been very jealous because he made a new expression on his face and was probably mad that he hadn’t found the horseshit first. I offered to rub the lovely smell on his play clothes but he held me away and everyone around him was laughing.

He grabbed my collar and dragged me back to where the little houses are and I thought he was going to Shut me In, or Tie me Up, but then he got a funny sound in his throat and he opened the door of a different little house and told me to go inside. It was cool in there so I went, and he told me Nice Words and said he would be back and he closed the door. I would have worried about being left, but there was a window and I could see out of it when he went back to his friends so I didn’t bark and I Investigated this new place. It was the den of the Talks-fast Man, who is a dominant in Alpha Male’s human pack and I don’t really like this man, but I don’t mind him either.

I jumped up on the couch and my new scent was so much nicer that I squirmed around on my back for a while to make a good nest and then I took a nap.

My dreams were about my litter and the junk pile where we were whelped. My mother was running away very fast and I was trying to catch up to her but my legs were so short and I moved too slow and the dream got scary, and I think I wanted to stop the dreaming. Then I woke up as the door to the little house opened and Talks-fast Man came inside. I jumped down and hurried over to greet him but he made a face and said something very loud and rude-sounding as he saw me and I went past him and outside with one big jump and ran off in search of Alpha Male again.

I found him quick because I am a Clever Dog and I just went where the most people were. He laughed when he saw me and I think I interrupted the playing because there was a lot of shouting and complaining and people who’d been standing still suddenly moved again. Alpha Male got a lead for me from someone and then I was given over to one of the Nice girls and they were just about to take me away for a walk when Talks-fast Man came over and he was making a Lot of Fuss.

It seemed like there was going to be trouble, but lots of people laughed and pointed at me and I wasn’t sure if I should make submissive, but they seemed to think I was a Good Dog so I wagged my tail and held my head up. Alpha Male was laughing the most and that made me Very Happy.

The Nice girl took me away and there was a Bad Thing when they got the hose and gave me a *Bath!*, but I didn’t growl and I didn’t even snap a little. The soap didn’t smell anywhere near as good as horseshit, but it smelled like Alpha Male’s hair on his head, so I submitted and Put Up With It and when they were done I got lots of Treats and a chance to roll in the nice green grass and loads of scratches, even on the tummy.

I pretended that I wasn’t going to go anywhere but they tied me up afterwards in the shade with a big bowl of nice fresh water. I could smell where the horses were and there was lots more horseshit by then so I knew that there would be other chances, and I could bide my time.

It was almost dark when I woke from a nap hearing yips from Fart-smell Dog. She was greeting Alpha Male with lots of Happy noise and making submissive and wanting to Play. I barked a greeting and saw that Nice-Smell Lady had come to visit, but there was something Wrong in her body talk and her face was cast down while she spoke to Alpha Male. Nice-smell tied up my bitch friend with me under the tree and she told Alpha Male that they ‘had to talk’. I didn’t know the exact words, but I could see that it was Not Good. Fart-smell Dog wanted to Play with me too, but I was too busy being worried as the two humans went into the little house and were in there for a Long Time.

Everyone was busy doing other things and no one came to visit us, so I cleaned Fart-smell Dog’s face and she caught a whiff of lingering horseshit on me and was impressed and we curled up together to sigh and act bored. After the Long Time had passed Alpha Male and Nice-smell Lady came out of the little house together and I know that a Bad Thing was going to happen, but I didn’t know what. Alpha Male came over to where we were and he untied Fart-smell Dog and held her in his arms for a Long Time, and he was whispering to her in her ear like she could understand everything he said. He called her ‘Esse’ again and again and I finally understood that this was her name now forever.

Nice-smell Lady started petting me and calling me her favorite name too, which was ‘Orli’s Mutt’, though my real name is Sidi, and I liked the attention but I knew that this was not good because the people were Sad. Then the two humans hugged and said ‘sorry’ and Nice-smell Lady took Esse’s lead and they walked away, and somehow I knew that it would be a Very, Very Long Time before I would see them again.

My tail went down, and sad water came from Alpha Male’s eyes and he tried to hide it by taking me inside the little house with him and making Food for us both, but we didn’t really want to eat, which shows you how Sad we both were.

And that was how Nice-smell Lady and Esse left our pack, and it was just the two of us then.

We went home late from the play place and I didn’t need to see inside the house to know that the females were really gone. I searched the den anyway, hoping they had left something more than old scents, but there were only a few things, like a sock under the table, and a few toys that weren’t mine. Even the water bowl was different, though it was full, and I laid down on the floor and stared at the door. Our fine pack had dwindled to almost nothing, and it was going to take some time for me to get over being Sorry.

Alpha Male moved around the rooms searching too, and when he finally came past me again he had the shirt that Chemical-smell Man had left and he was holding it tight and making tears and he was Very Sad. He got a bottle of stinky wine from the counter and sat on the Get Off! Couch and talked to his noisy-box. His words sounded very submissive, and he was telling his story and drinking the wine and he said the whole thing several times about being Sorry and Wrong...but I don’t know what the noisy-box was supposed to do to help.

I watched all of this and I tried to be Nice to Alpha Male, putting my nose on his leg and pressing down like I was very heavy and could hold him down to the earth where things are safe. He finally stopped talking to the noisy-box and got up for another bottle of stinky wine and made some music start playing. He went into the people piss room and I was afraid for a moment that he was going to Be Disgusting in the cool water bowl again, but instead he filled the very big bathtub. I remembered the *bath!* that I’d had to take earlier that day and I made myself invisible for a while. But I heard him get into the water when it was full and I crept back into the room to see him sitting inside the water and drinking the stinky wine.

This would have been funny to see except that I was very worried that Something Bad was going to happen, so I didn’t just wrinkle up my nose and make a face, but I watched him closely. Time passed and Alpha Male slid lower into the water, humming some noises, and it made me whine when only his nose and eyes were above the surface. I got up and licked his forehead and pawed at the edge of the tub and he said to me “go away Sidi.”

But I am a Smart Dog, and I didn’t go away.

I whined more and then I barked and I made like I had to go Outside, even though the little Dog door was open, and Alpha Male stuck his head out enough to Yell at me. You might think he was Mad at me, but I knew that he wasn’t really. He might be Mad inside himself, but he wasn’t Mad at me. I barked some more and he flipped water at me, so I jumped around like I thought it was a game, trying to get him to Play.

Alpha Male tried to ignore me, and he slid very low in the water again, sometimes even beneath it, getting his nice soft hair all wet so he looked like he had been caught by a wave at the beach. Getting another *bath!* was the last thing in the world I wanted, but I had the feeling so strong that Something Very Bad was going to happen that I finally stopped barking and pretending to play and I jumped into the tub and landed in Alpha Male’s lap. That startled him so bad that he splashed most of the water out on the floor and he screamed at me and tried to shove me away and I felt like I had ten legs and none of them worked right and suddenly he was standing up and holding me and we were both completely wet.

He stunk of Wet Dog, and I stunk of Wet Human.

Alpha Male started to laugh, and he set me down gently on the smooth cold floor and I laughed too because we Looked Stupid. He dried himself off and then used the towel to rub my fur, which made a big mess of the towel and a little mess of my fur. I was Sorry to see some scratches on him from my claws, but I had felt that I had to do something drastic back then to keep the Very Bad Thing from happening. Alpha Male wasn’t Mad any more.

We left a Big Mess in the people piss room and went to bed, and I got to curl up next to him and we were both asleep very quickly. We slept the whole night, and our pack was now very small, but we kept warm and we were safe guarding each other.

Late in the morning I was outside marking our territory when I heard the bell sound that meant someone had come to our den, and I ran into the house bark-warning loudly to wake up Alpha Male. But he was already up and when he opened the door it was Chemical-smell Man standing outside! I Barked the Happy Bark! and yipped and ran around in circles with my tongue out and Alpha Male grabbed Chemical-smell Man and cried tears and said “Viggo! Viggo! Viggo!”, and Chemical-smell Man made tears too and held Alpha Male so Very Tight and called him “Orlando,” and I knew that things were going to be different now and there would be less Sad.
