The Pie-Rates Pack!


Hello to my Nice Reading People Friends in the Invisible Pack! I am Happy that you want to read more stuff about my life and how I’m the Luckiest Dog in the World. Are things Good with you? Are you having Good Walkies and lots of Loving and maybe some Treats? I hope you are. I would share mine with you too!

My story keeps going on from the place I was last telling you about, so if you don’t know where that is you can maybe go find someone to tell you what happened to Sidi Dog before this part. Maybe you could call up my Alpha on his Noisy Box and he can tell you most of it. His name is Orlando and the Noisy Box is usually in his pocket, so call him there. He might be Busy, but he always has time to talk to his Friends.

So the morning after we got to the Island Place called Saint Vincens I was lying in a patch of sunlight and thinking that the morning had come really really early. Maybe the Sun was in a hurry here? I closed my eyes with the warm light on my eye covers and thought about the nature of the World Place, which is where all of us live. I thought about how Good Guys couldn’t be Good Guys unless there are Evil Guys too. Otherwise they would just be plain old Guys. I thought about the way that all things depend on each other to survive and make challenges and that the struggle for life is what makes you strong enough to survive. I was thinking about the transient nature of existence and the flow of energy from inanimate to living and then back again...then I farted a Big One and realized that I had to go pee somewhere.

Isn’t that the way it always goes when you’re on the verge of some cosmic truth?

I trotted back into the sleeping room and used the Cold Doggie Nose Trick to wake up my Alpha Male so he could let me go outside to piss. He flopped around for a while moaning about hanging over, but I think he was right there on the bed the whole time. He got up and made his own piss and shook his little bottles and splashed water, and the whole time I was Waiting and my piss was getting more and more urgent! I whined to remind him. He said ‘Sorry!’ and took me to the door. I ran to the nearest tree and then sniffed around just a little because he was whistling me to come back already. I guess the morning shit could wait a little while yet, so I went back inside and my Alpha put his clothes on.

After that was some Food for the Man, and the Dog got some Crunchy Good Things and then my Alpha said ‘get ready to Go Out!’, so I went to my Toy! Basket and poked around until I found my Male Man Toy that came from Treats-in-Pocket Man. This is one of my Best Toys! and I put it in my mouth to carry and went to the door. Sometimes it’s nice to have something familiar with you in a new place, like my Viggo cloth that I can lie on and smell him and remember the way he scratches under my chin.

“Thinking about Sean today?” my Alpha asked me, seeing the Male Man Toy!

I wagged my tail, because you can’t Bark! properly when your mouth is full. “Me too,” he said, smiling, and then he clipped my lead on and I took him Outside. This new Place was Really Great! Everything smelled so different and New and Exciting! There was plants everywhere and they were strange shapes and the air was Ocean Smell and Clean and the birds in the trees and bushes sang songs I’d never heard before. My tail was going all the time as we walked, and I wanted to Run and Explore, so the leash got pulled on lots, but my Alpha is strong.

“Relax, Sidi,” my Alpha said. “We’ll be here for a long time making Pie-Rates, and you’ll have loads of new Friends.”

So, that was what this place was for! Making Pie-Rates! I wondered what kind of Pie Rates anyhow. But I guess it wasn’t going to be a problem for the Dog, because it turned out that there were lots of People there to do that thing with my Alpha. We went along a sandy beach where nobody was Playing yet, and there was a Lot of People there who all seemed to know my Alpha. I sniffed everybody, and some of them I had smelled before on my Alpha from Lost Angeles.

Johnny Dark-eyes with the Gentle-hands Man was there, and when I saw him I ran over to say Hello! He got down on one knee in the sand and Petted me and said Nice words, then he asked to see my Toy!, so I let him take it. My jaw was tired anyhow. Johnny Admired my Toy! and made it go “squuuuueak!” a couple of times, then he threw it away. This may seem rude to you, but I was used to it. People seem to think it’s a good idea to throw stuff away for Dogs to go and chase after. It’s one of the more stupid things that People do, but I understand that they don’t mean it to be bad, so I went and got my Toy! and I even let him have it again.

Johnny did one of the Psych! Throws and when I wasn’t looking he made my Toy! disappear! It’s very Cool that he knows how to do that, but I don’t think it’s very Nice to do when it’s your Favorite Toy! of the Day and you picked it out special. I Barked! at him to make it come back! He laughed, but he also made the Toy! appear again, and he threw it for real. I Ran after it fast, and then I decided that he wouldn’t get it back from me again if he was going to do magic that made the Dog scared about his Toy! being gone, so I went to meet some New People.

My Alpha was talking to a Man who smelled familiar. He had eaten Bacon! recently and had petted another Dog and his feet smelled funny. My Alpha called him ‘Verb’ and I liked his laugh. There was a Bitch there called Kearuh and she Petted me and said how Handsome I am. Kearuh seemed nervous to me, and she was sweating even though it wasn’t the hot part of the day, and she was in heat. Women People don’t behave different when they’re in heat the way Dog Bitches do, except that the Women People always seem to have more Treats! around them then, so I knew I would have to keep an eye on Kearuh.

You know...just in case she needed help eating those Treats!

Then my Alpha was talking to a Nice Man named Alec and this was going to be the new Fixes-Things Guy! because the first thing he did was get nice clean water for the Dog and find me a place to put my Toy! and lie down and watch the Playing. It was a Good place, and I could see my Alpha most of the time. People came by and petted me and sometimes I got taken Walkies, even off the Lead, which is a Lot more Fun! It was on one of these long beach Walkies with Alec that I discovered the little stone Critters in the beach water.

The little stone Critters smelled really nasty, like old dead fish, and they moved around sideways and twitched a lot and waved their little stone hands in the air. I thought this was really Funny! and I Barked! at them and danced around in the sand. Alec told me I should be quiet and leave the Critters alone. There were many of them in the rocks at the edge of the Beach and then they disappeared, so I started looking for more. Then I found a really Big! One, waving its little stone hands around, and I sniffed at it because sometimes even when you suspect that something is going to smell Bad! you have to sniff it anyhow. I don’t know why this is. Must be part of the Universal Truth I was looking for earlier that day.

But here’s another true thing...little stone Critters can Pinch! you on the Nose! And that’s exactly what this one did! YoW!

I Yelped and jumped and spun around in a circle and my Nose went “OWWWWWWW!!!”, and then the Evil Critter finally went flying off and I had to Run all the way up the Beach to where my Alpha was! Maybe I was yelping all the way!

My Orlando was making Play with his Pack, and I came running up and he got down low to catch me and say “Sidi! Sidi! It’s okay!”

Then he was holding me and my nose felt better some. Alec came Running slowly behind me and said that the crabs had got me and my nose got looked at by several People, even a Lady who smelled of stinky stuff and had a soothing voice, and she put a dab of something there that Burned! and I had to Yelp! again!

I got taken over to my quiet Place and my Alpha sat down with me looking like he was not very Happy. I think he was Mad about the little stone Critters, because it wasn’t like it was My fault I got pinched. Maybe he was just Mad that the Pie-Rates Playing had to stop for a while. He told me some things about how he was Sorry! that our Alpha Bitch was gone and I didn’t have someone to Play with.

I put my head down and made Sorry too. I didn’t even Squeak my Male Man Toy. The People went back to making Pie-Rates and I closed my eyes and felt Bad about my Sore nose. Then I fell asleep and had a dream about my Pack from before. I wondered if Essa and Kate were doing Good in their New Place. Maybe they were Happy? I hoped so.

That night was another Party at the Food Place, and I got to Come Along. A whole plate of Food got dropped! But then we went to our Hotel Place early because my Alpha had Important Stuff to do. I made my nest under the table so I could be nearby in case Orlando needed his Dog for something, but he didn’t.

The next morning my Alpha was up even before me, and he was talking to invisible People and putting on his Play clothes, which always smell strange. We went on the Walk to the Beach again, but this time Alec met us and led us to another part of the Beach where there was some Houses and People Stuff like Cars.

We went up to a door and I heard Outsider Dogs Barking! I Barked back in case they were thinking about coming out to Hurt my Alpha! There was a big Lady Person there and she had on a dress that was even uglier than my Alpha’s Duck Pictures buttcloth! Can you even imagine that? She smelled of Dogs! and Cats! and Other Animals!

This Lady was called Tante Et-teaen and she bent way down to Pet me and called me ‘Black Pup!’ I think she was black too, so we had that thing in common, and she liked me a lot and said I was Very Handsome! My Alpha was grinning at her and shaking her hand and then suddenly the Outsider Dogs came from inside the Den and they Ran right For ME! I bristled and growled and made a Dominant Stand, and the Dogs circled me warily because I am a Very Tough and Mean Dog! ...when I have to be.

These Dogs were a Male and a Bitch. The Male was shorter than me and had one ear chewed up and he smelled like some dead thing and some garbage from the bin and he had a very Strong Male Dog smell, much more than mine, so I think maybe he was still interested in the Bitches when they went into heat, unlike me. I have more Important Things to do than just mate with any old Bitch. I have my Important Pack!

That Male Dog’s coat was white and had patches and he kept stopping to scratch at his belly and sniff his own Personal Bits. I was Very Jealous of his rancid smell and his cool attitude, but of course I made out like I was cooler. I learned later that his name was Rocko.

The Bitch smelled like the sandy ground and some People Chemicals. She had smooth hair and a short tail and she made Submissive after she smelled me and realized that I was Bigger and Stronger. She moved kinda funny, and it took me a while to realize that she only had three legs. One in the front was missing somewhere, but she didn’t seem to mind very much it being gone. Her other feet were white, like Essa’s, and she licked my muzzle to make a Nice Greeting. She had been eating something fishy. Tante Ett-teaen called her ‘Allie’.

After all the sniffing was done and Rocko and Allie had decided where my Place was in the Order of Things I thought that maybe I would like to Play! with these Dogs. We all got shooed into a fenced Place, and there was nice, clean water there and some Stuff to Play with, and us Dogs got busy getting to know each other more. I saw my Alpha shaking Tante’s hand, and he gave her some papers. He said ‘Goodbye’ to me over the top of the fence, and then showed me that he had to go make Pie-Rates with the other members of his Playing Pack. I Barked! when he and Alec went away, but after a while I remembered that he would be back.

He always comes back for his Dog! That’s why he’s the Best Person ever!

So I spent the day Playing with Rocko and Allie and we had a Lot of Fun! We Chased and Barked and tumbled each other aroung. I showed them how to dig an Excellent hole, and Allie even tried with her one paw in front. Tante Et-teaen kept checking on us, and she came out for a while to sit in the shade and make vegetables into smaller pieces, and she fed us some fish bits for Treats! It wasn’t like my usual Treats!, but I didn’t mind.

My Alpha came back two or three times to check on me, and I was really Happy to see him! He was Happy to see me too, of course! The day went by pretty fast.

That night Orlando came and got me and Johnny was with him, and as I was taking them back to the Hotel Place Johnny said “Your dog’s got it made, man.”

“He’s all I’ve got,” my Alpha said, and when he said those words I thought maybe he was a little Sad. So then I knew that I had to be more than just the Dog, you know?

I was going to have to think up a plan.

Hi, Sidi! It is always nice to hear you tell us stories about you and your Pack. I was very lucky and got to see both your Alpha Males in Toronto. They were surrounded by lots and lots of people, but I never saw them with any other Dogs. Were you there? I think you would have found it very noisy and might even have Barked! at some of the people who were crowding around and *squeeing* so loudly. And I think maybe your Alphas were a little sad too, because I never saw them together.

I'm glad you had fun playing with Johnny Dark-Eyes and your new Dog friends. But stay away from those stone-Critters, they are Mean! And I can't wait to hear what kind of Plan you think up to make your Alpha Orlando less Sad. I know it will be a good one, because you are a very Good Dog, and very Smart too.

*offers you lots of Crunchy Good Treats*
