Dear Bre’r,
Indeed, yesterday was a very hot day. Thanks for noticing. Also, thank you for leaving the gate to your nice, cool, inground pool open so that I could cool off with a swim at my leisure. This gesture was greatly appreciated.
What I do not appreciate is your decision to slander my name in a public forum with cruel untruths such as “filthy bitch” and describing my nimble ascent into your crappy rustbucket as heaving “my rather fat ass into the car.” Your comments are as false as they are cruel.
Most disturbing is the fact that you choose to bring your dissatisfaction with my actions to a public forum, without coming to me first. The mature thing to do would be to discuss the issue with me directly, giving me a chance to explain my actions and beg forgiveness with big, sweet, puppy-dog eyes. But nooooo, you had to rush off to slander me in public, without taking the time for so much as a “Bad dog!” or the shaking of a rolled up newspaper at me to show your displeasure.
Luckily, I am a regular lurker on the SDMB, and stumbled across your post, so I am able to respond to your wild accusations.
I am fully aware that your “beautiful firebird” (aka 1986 Taurus wagon) is not a dog house. Unfortunately, I was forced to enter this rusty deathtrap in an effort to save you undue discomfort.
After having freshly bathed in the pool, I was carefully applying a coat of dirt and grime to myself in preparation for my important undercover patrol to dutifully chase moles from our beautiful lawn, when I detected a foul odor. You see, not only is extremely hot weather an uncomfortable inconvenience for those of the canine persuasion – it also seems to have a rather disgusting effect on forgotten food items. Apparently, on one of your twice-a-day Burger King runs, you were once again stuffing your fat face so fast on your way home that a large quantity of french fries managed to miss your gaping maw entirely, and spill onto the floor of your beloved grocery-getter. Furthermore, the tomato and pickles you removed from your 2 double-whoppers with cheese (who’s the fat-ass again?) were still wrapped in a napkin on the floor in the back seat of your car. Combined with the sweltering heat, that rotting food was quickly becoming a serious odor problem.
So, with only your best interests in mind, I proceeded to enter your vehicle, where I dutifully gobbled up every last french fry, and choked down your discarded condiments. Not that I wanted to, mind you – I like to keep my athletic figure and have no interest whatsoever in table scraps – but I felt obligated to prevent that odor from permeating through that horrid rusty wagon you seem to believe is some sort of “hot rod.”
So you see, Bre’r, you did not fully understand the situation. You rushed off to defame me in a public forum without realizing that my actions were an effort on my part to help you out. I feel as if a great deal of trust has been lost, and I find myself unable to deal with you at this time. Go lay down!
Your dog,
Ginger
