Why it was a dog bed of course. Apparently, the spoiled rotten Maltese needs a new dog bed. I don’t know why he should be bestowed a new sleeping apparatus. He’s perfectly fine on the floor on his well-worn pillow. Why does he need a mattress? I don’t get a new bed. Just because I sleep on my novelist’s Sealy Posturepedic mattress doesn’t mean I don’t deserve the best, the finest dog bed around. But do I get one? No. I just get scolded for growling at that wretched cur every time he wants to hop up on my bed. I mean the nerve. Doesn’t he realize it’s uncivilized for a Maltese to sleep on the same mattress as a parti poodle? Does he not realize he is unworthy? And then my novelist, my Maltese enabler insisting he needs better support. Better support. Are you kidding me? That thing is spoiled beyond belief. Eating the same special dog food I do, eating the same premium treats I do, sleeping on a new bed instead of the cold hard floor where he belongs. It’s utter madness. So, there you are. That’s the last thing my novelist and I searched for online. Pathetic.
