Puppy's Favorite Toy

First time? Start here. Read "The Primer" and follow the link at the end. Chronological order makes more sense for the stories.

A little while back Puppy has taken a shine to destroying magazines. She has no preference, just anything with paper she loves to shred. It brings a tear to the eye thinking that she could very well grow up to be a female version of Pigfoot. That would make for some great times ahead. Let's hope in silence.

Female Boss has been pretty pissed off after Puppy shredded up some magazines she didn't get an opportunity to read yet. My solution is what my friend did with his dog that loved paper. He waded up some sheets of paper together, used tape to keep em together and the "ball" became a great time sink for the dog. I asked her if she wanted me to do the same for Puppy. Female Boss thinks its a great idea.

So the other morning, Puppy is playing with the paper ball. She has been nonstop. I am happy and Female Boss is seemingly happy that her magazines have become virtually intact. Hey, its a lot smarter than placing the magazines a little higher off the ground or actually disciplining the animal.. yeah..

Well its a pretty quiet day at the office and the sound of Puppy playing is kinda loud. Whenever Puppy chews on the paper ball its pretty damn loud, especially when the phone isn't wringing. They have tile so it kinda echoes. Perfect conditions to set off Female Boss. I kinda felt it in my bones and sure enuff it does.

Every time Puppy gets a hold of it and starts trying to tear it up Female Boss sucks her teeth. I smile on the inside. Then she starts up with the shouting.

"Stop it!"

Stop what? Stop playing cuz it doesn't suit you right now? What are you gonna do? Oh, that's right, nothing. Puppy continues.

"Stop it!" Female Boss slams on her desk.

Puppy doesn't give a shit. She doesn't even know she is being addressed bcuz her name isn't being said and Female Boss sits face forward staring at her monitor. Useless. The best part is watching her deteriorate, be worn down by an unknowing adversary.

She begins to whine, "Stooopppp pleeeaase."

Its really pathetic that Female Boss hates confrontation that much. Puppy wins without even knowing what the hell she was doing. Female Boss never gets up, hell never does shit. Just complains and whines. I think that is the single type of person that I just can't take. If you have no gumption, no moxie, no drive then why the hell do you exist? Take charge, go on offense. Win for fuck's sake. Win!
