Talk to Me!

Hey Austin dogs n’ cats, I’m Mr. Biscuit, Austin’s Pet Directory official mascot.  I’ve included my headshot just in case you know of someone looking for a dog to make famous.  My mom keeps saying she’s waiting for me to become a star so she can retire.   I have lots of ambitions, but get easily side-tracked with squirrels running around in the trees, tearing up napkins, dinner time, and Hank my pesty foster dog.   Anyways, I’m stuck at home with Hank - the pesty foster dog - and a few cats that insist they are smarter than me, while my mom is at work, and thought I would just check out what all the fuss is about this blogging thing.  I’m not sure what everyone blogs about, so I guess I’ll just start with something that really bugs me.  Seatbelts.  My grandma’s Cocker Spaniel, Molly died when she flew through the windsheild during a car accident.  It makes me really sad that Molly is gone, and I just don’t know why grandma didn’t make her wear a seatbelt.  I know my grandma loved Molly and she was so, so sad when she died.  I guess she never thought it would  happen to her.  So now I get soooo mad when I see dogs sitting on their mom or dad’s lap in the car while they’re driving, or sitting in the back seat hanging out the window without wearing a seatbelt.  It’s just so dangerous and I just wish people knew that most dogs will not survive a car crash without a seatbelt.  It’s like letting your child ride in the car without a seatbelt, and I’m not sure why they think we are any different.  Sometimes people treat us like people and sometimes they don’t.  It’s very confusing.  They say we are their babies, but the babies get a car seat or belt, but we don’t.  Anyways maybe I should start a group called Dogs Are Worthy of Getting Seatbelts (DAWGS).  Now who’s with me???????
