So Dad what’s up this bug stuff? I looked up Tick on the Internet and it is the common name for the small arachnids in superfamily Ixodoidea that, along with other mites, constitute the Acarina. So now everytime I go outside I have to have a bug check before I can go back in. Have you ever had anyone check you for bugs at 12:30 AM? I do not even know what G-Mom is talking about. Cart says they are mean bugs that suck your blood. I explained to Cart and Slobbie that we do not have these things in the city. Besides, Dad I don’t go on the grass or into the woods unless I absolutely have too to be polite or politically correct! That is why G-Mom has my restraint so I can lay on the cement. Slobbie says that I am just being a snob. Now I don’t even want to go outside, but I have too. G_Mom will not put up with any mess in the house and besides it just isn’t worth it. She does not make excuses for me and if I make a mess I get a food reduction to settle my stomach. Dad there are so many rules. Did you have this many rules when you were growing up? What a doggie drag!
