The Boss of Solitude

Entry Log 10

The other day, while out in the yard, I stopped to contemplate the importance of being the Boss in charge at a dog park.

I sure am handsome even when deep in thought!

I always need to be the Boss in charge, in order to show the other dogs how to behave and not step out of line.

At our usual dog park, I take position high up in order to survey the grounds and keep things in check.

Standing up here not only makes me look handsome but,
also shows I have authority... that I am The Boss

Today we loaded up the car and we headed to a new dog park.

It was raining, cold and damp but I was excited to apply my "Boss in Charge" skills in this new territory.

Wearing my red raincoat makes me stand out and...
 ensures that everyone knows I am the Boss in charge

Upon arrival at the new park I realized there was going to be a huge problem...


I was the only one there!

I may seem small and all alone in this new park but...
I am still extremely handsome

With no one else to be the Boss and take charge over, I felt alone, cold, and unmotivated.

I felt like I was...

Boss of the Tim Bits

Entry Log 9

Going to the beach, is a regular activity for us.

I don't always lay in the sand but when I do...
I make sure my belly is soaking wet!

But hanging at the beach builds an appetite so...
we always stop to pick up a snack on our way to the beach.

It is a stop Mum calls "Timmies"

I don't always steam up the window but when I do...
I make sure to leave nose prints behind.

Our snack is known as the "Tim Bit" and people up here are crazy about these "Tim Bits".

I will admit, they are very tasty little doughnut holes.

I don't always eat Tim Bits but when I do...
I make sure Mum gets the variety pack.

When at the beach I guard our Tim Bits closely.

It is my job to make sure that no one steals them!

I don't always guard the dogger but when I do...
I make sure it is when the Tim Bits are in there.

I know the Tim Horton's Corporation would be proud of me.

I like to view myself as...

Definition of Trouble Maker Boss

Entry Log 8

Today, I pose this question...

Is this the face of a "trouble maker"?

I am a Boss not a trouble maker

I really suppose that answer would be based upon the definition of "trouble maker".

According to the Oxford English Dictionary this is their definition:

"a person who habitually causes difficulty of problems, especially by inciting others to defy those in authority."

Hmmm this does not sound like me at all!

I ask this question because the other day Mum bought me this nice red hoodie for the winter.

Don't I just melt your heart in this hoodie?

It sure is warm and cozy but I question the decal on the back...

oops this must be a misprint!

I am absolutely certain that the Oxford English Dictionary has made a huge misprint with the definition!

In their error they failed to place my picture alongside this description:

"trouble maker; another term for Boss. Someone who is in charge or in control of a group or a situation."

I do feel they need to be advised on their mistake.

And the someone to do it is me...
