Dog Day 4

How did my family find me?

I don't like it when my family has to go to work and school. I try to hide, but they always find me. I can't work out why. I wish my Mum didn't have to work. I like it when she stays home. She's the only one who doesn't shout at me or wake me up when I snore. I love having a nap in the daytime. Often, Mum will work on her computer and then I can just have a little sleep on my blanket in the lounge room. I always feel so refreshed when I've had a day time nap.

I also really like just flipping myself upside down and lying there. Mum thinks I look funny and Dad says I look even more stupid than usual. I like the way my lips flop open and my brain does a backflip. Collie dog, from across the road also likes going upside down. She does it all the time though. It's kind of weird. Every time she's over for a visit and Mum or Dad come out and see her, she flips herself upside down right away. I tried to ask her about it once, but she said she didn't want to talk about it and looked all embarrassed. I heard Mum say that she was super submissive. I don't really know what that means. I like Collie dog, but I wish she wouldn't keep flipping herself upside down every time she sees my family. It makes her look like she's got narcolepsy and it's pretty creepy to be around.

I love being UpsideDown Dog
