Backpack for the Dog

 

This week Dad decided I needed to get a job. I was so happy with my canine life, sleep all day, terrorize the neighborhood dogs, protect our house from whoever comes near.  Besides, I like winter, I get to be lazy!  That's when bad behaviour comes out says Dad. 

Dad's giving me this job to do because I think Dad found out I was acting like a fool in the daycare this past Friday. 

"So how was Brix in the daycare?  He was a trouble maker wasn't he?"

"Well, to be fair, a lot of the dogs were crazy today."

"What did he do?"

"He just had so much energy!  He was bouncing up and down at the end of his leash like a mad man."

"I'll know exactly what I have to do."

 

So today, Dad bought me this backpack for dogs.  It's like a jacket but then two sacks clip onto the side.  So far Dad is making me carry 4 bottles of water, two on each side.  I'm like Dad's slave now.  Dad says it'll help me focus on doing something when we walk and it will give me a good workout. 

"Brix, good news I found you a job.  You can start carrying some things for us."

"How much I get paid?"

"You get paid with our genuine love and care.  You know how many dogs don't have food or a bed to sleep in?  You should feel lucky."

"But I'm a small boxer, I don't think I can do it."

"Excuse me?  You are a working dog breed.  You need a job and I finally found one for you."

My first day of work was the night shift.  Dad strapped me up.  The backpack wasn't as uncomfortable as I thought it would be.  4 bottles of water was nothing for me.  I got used to the weight real fast.  

"You call this a workout Dad?"

"Oh, so you admit you like this job now."

"I guess I'm ok with it.  I'll give you  my 2 weeks notice when I quit."

Actually, I look like a stud when I walk with it.  Maybe it will score me with some fine females.  I look like a soldier from the Gulf war or something like that.  Actually I look like my uncle Ron who use to carry a rucksack in the army....minus the rifle of course.  

Guess I'll try out the new job, gain some experience and beef up my resume.  Tell you how it goes.
