I’m kind of bummed right now.
You see, there’s this dog that I’ve been seeing on my trails lately.
And our people won’t let us get together.
Well, today was different.
My person and I had just headed out the door to go to my trails.
We were about to cross the street to the trailhead parking lot when who should show up but that dog and his person.
My person made me wait where we were but they came right toward us.
Hey, they must live on my street.
Well, we got kind of close and then, you know what happened?
That dog started getting all mean and nasty toward me.
That dog started barking and growling and so I started doing some of the same.
Then that dog’s person made him leave.
I kind of wanted to follow that dog and find out where he lives, but I guess that’s not a very good idea.
I didn’t think it was possible for someone to not like me but ——I don’t think that dog likes me.

Hey person, when are you going to draw a picture of me?

Oh sweetheart I do hope that you were not injured…naughty bad dog he was and naughty owner to let him get that close.
like you Bongo I think that all people are like me, nice, honest, and happy but unfortunately many people are not what they seem at all. The same goes for dogs too….you are a happy boy and want to be friends with people and other dogs but they are not all nice like you.
Mostly it is not their fault but the way they have been treated and brought up, so try not to think too harshly on him but next time you see him, walk on the other side.
kisses and loves for you
oh by the way, was your person ok ?

Patrecia, that dog was on a leash so he couldn’t get close enough to do anything bad. His person says he just doesn’t like other dogs.

Lily & Edward, for some reason that dog thinks he should be the only dog in the world. So sad. I don’t like every dog, but some other dogs are lots of fun to play with.

That mad dog sounds like the worst friend ever. I’m glad you were safe and sound on your leash.
Love and licks,

Cupcake, I think I’ll stick with my girlfriends – well, and Toby across the street – Toby’s okay. I hope that mad dog stays in his house.

Some dogs are just not friendly to anyone. I’m sure it’s not you Bongo, everybody likes you:-)

Mica, that’s what that dog’s person said. Apparently that dog doesn’t like any other dogs.

There are lots of bad-tempered dogs out there Bongo. But how could they ever dislike you?? 🙂

Epicaldragon, that’s what I say. But I guess there’s always one.

How can someone not like you?! That is blasphemy!!!

Kimberly and Wall-E, I totally agree. I don’t know what’s wrong with that dog.

Awww, he is probably jealous of your looks, Bongo! Maybe he isn’t getting enough tlc. I love the sketch btw. The character is there! 🙂 Like you say, when is she going to do your drawing?!!!! 🙂
Bongo
May 16, 2014 at 2:36 pm
Marina, my person says if she draws me she wants to do a real drawing and right now she doesn’t have the time. She’s always full of excuses.

Oh boy….
Sorry Bongo, some dogs are just plain mean.
But in most cases it’s the humans fault and that’s a real shame!

Alex and Penny, that dog’s person seems nice. But the dog just seems to have a problem with every other dog.

Ohh…that sounds too close for comfort Bongo. DO be careful around cranky dogs like that. Not good.
BTW, Mr. Cheddar says he will have to pass on the offer of a doggie massage. He did laugh at your slobbery comment though, me too. 😉

Mr. Cheddar, the offer still stands – anytime you change your mind.

I can’t believe that there is a dog who doesn’t like you! You’re so cute and everypaw falls in love with you for the first sight! He might be a little bit shy to show his feeling to you….gradually he’ll like you! 🙂

Kevin, I don’t know about that dog. Apparently he was so nasty to other dogs that his person had to get a muzzle for him. At least I don’t have to have one of those things.
