I am a pretty easy going dog. When my people take me out and I encounter other dogs, I keep to myself. I don't bark or attack any of them. I even let them sniff me. Overall, I am pretty friendly.

That brings me to Peter the Poodle. Peter the Poodle is a white little dog that lives next door to me. That dog has never liked me. Every time Peter the Poodle sees me, he immediately starts barking at me. He says things like, "Hey, stupid pound puppy, who let you in the neighborhood?" I've had other dogs bark at me and I never bark back, but Peter the Poodle just gets under my skin. Why doesn't he like me? What have I ever done to him?

Lately whenever I see Peter the Poodle, I bark at him first. I say "Hey, Peter, what's happening?" You know, trying to make small talk. So far, he still hates me. I'll keep trying though.

My people, however, don't understand me. They think that I'm being aggressive with Peter the Poodle since I bark first. I'm not. I'm just trying to get Peter the Poodle to like me.

My people are dumb. Like cats. That's why my blog is so important. It helps my people understand me. I hope they are reading it.
