Good Boy
Pair with Who Let The Dogs Out? by Baha Men
He gets up from his spot in the corner. He yawns and stretches his hind legs. Then he shuffles over for a drink while he thinks that he is a good boy. So why do they keep asking? He has been here for almost 42 dog years, and he has kept the mailman and the squirrels away as much as he can from inside the house. He has repeatedly told them he would be more effective at his job if they let him out into the front yard. It is as if they don’t want him to succeed.
