Buffy Come Home!  What?  I never left!  You must have me confused with Lassie.  Lassie was a popular dog, so I don't mind the comparison.  Still, it seems that she ( or he) spent a lot of time getting in "situations".  Always the drama.  It seems like life was different for Lassie than it  is for me.  Perhaps it was the farm life.  Dogs had a lot more freedom back in the day, before subdivisions with rules and committees were invented. 

     I live here in suburbia, and my adventures are limited to runs through the tall grass and walks around the Point; on a leash of course.  As I sniff the ground, I imagine the escapades of other dogs that have preceded me to the area, and I often leave them a little urine-based calling card so that the next dog might know of my exploits too.  It is in this way that we dogs make a mark on the world if we don't happen to have our own TV show.  Maybe you have to get yourself into dramas and situations in order to get yourself on the tube.  Has anyone thought of having 8 dogs stranded on a remote island, and then recording the resultant action?  Or a fine female such as I could be courted by 8 studly male poodles.  Does Donald Trump need an apprentice dog? 

      Maybe I need to set out on my own adventures, but I can't quite get the courage to abandon the comforts of home.  I guess those TV dogs are made of different stuff than I am.  They probably aren't that happy anyway, with their constant need for attention and celebrity. Dogs like you and I are confident standing alone, we don't need the constant ego stroking that these TV dogs seem to require........... Oh well. I think I'll go find my master, he hasn't rubbed my belly for some time, and I could use a walk and a few words of praise.  Maybe he'll take some new pictures of me!
