“Humans are strange creatures” There now it’s a fact. I mean they just don’t get fed up of “talking”. They TALK day in and day out. I mean who’d want to TALK that much. Fine I agree human beings are a dog’s best friends, but do you even realize how hard it is to train them? To teach them to be quiet and to eat properly? And then they can’t understand barkish. It takes years and years to program them into understanding barkish and then also only an odd one or two ever learns to speak a few words in barkish. Who would know better than I? Oh I forgot to introduce myself, I assumed as you’re my diary you’d know me. Anyways, I’m a good looking, young and single dog and they call me Bonish. I’m a human trainer at a nearby pet care center. There are books that say years ago, when we dogs were not as intelligent, humans used to keep us as pets. Have you ever heard anything more hilarious? Preposterous!!!!! Today I was teaching a human, we call Ash how to respond when I call his name. And after the first few tries he just sat down and didn’t move again. Sweet dog, I had such a tiring day….a Top Dog brought a human today, his pup had fed him a bone. However many times I bark to these pups that only civilized dogs eat bones, they never get it. Pups these days are very dense. Life’s such a girl!!! But I’m so glad to be at home.

I know I know, it is already half past one and I haven't taken even a single wink of sleep.Now that is weird.Usually I don't stay up late because as a trainer I need to teach humans that they need to get up at the slightest shake and be vigilant even while sleeping.Staying up late means waking up late and when you have a reputation; you better work to keep it up.
Sweet dog! I can't feel a thing inside, looks like sleep has betrayed me like my bitch, left me bang on when I needed her the most.

The one thing Humans try hardest at imitating is forming a pack. We dogs form a pack and that's that, simple and sweet. These humans make a big fuss over the whole process and most often bungle up.
Just two days back Ash walks in with this silly grin accompanied by what I straight away assumed was his lame attempt at forming a pack. It wasn't a real pack, but then again as per dog rules anything more than two is a pack.
He calls one Axe and the other two as M&M. The one called Axe is the more serious of the three and has that steely glint in her eyes, much more in the left unless that's a trick of the lighting. Maybe that's why the unusual name.
The other two end up in giggles each time he calls them M&Ms meaning it is some sort of funny word play with their names or something.
But then again, let me get to the point.
They've kept me away from my diary!! "HOW?!" you ask... I'd be inclined to to say HOWL!!
Ash somehow realized humans were permitted to take a dog out of the compound for three days provided they could produce the necessary paperwork! THREE WHOLE DAYS!

Now thats weird.
Three days three instances and my life has changed.
I can't believe I miss those humans but I just do.Earlier, I used to loathe humans,used to think of them of fools and people of low intelligence but I was so wrong.They deserve respect.
Ha!
Who am I fooling! that is something I totally do not mean but I have to lie.It is my job.Yes these lies pay for my bread and butter, make me who I am.
I lied again.
To those very creatures.

but then again, humans remain humans...just slaves..no more,no less
