Mum was mad, I was MORE MAD!!!

Both mum and I had a bad day yesterday. We were both very mad, but for different reason, yet somewhat related. Make sense so far??

Yesterday, Mum and I drove to my favorite park in the morning for my morning walk. She parked the car and off we went to the park. We had a great walk, except it was raining. Mum hates rain, but I don't mind rain as long as I'm not stuck at home because of it. Anyway, mum had to go to work and I was looking forward to breakfast, so we made our way back to the car.

Mum stuck her key into the key hole (whatever it's called) and guess what?? She couldn't turn the key!! Mum tried wiggling the steering wheel while turning the key, but it still wouldn't turn. Now because this was not the first time it's happened, mum called a tow truck to see if the tow truck driver could do anything.

Well, the tow truck guy showed up, mum took me out of the car because I get very protective of my SunshadeMOBILE. I saw Pedro, the tow truck driver got into MY car and I started talking to him.

I told him: GRRRRR...... GRRRR.... GRR.. WOOF..... GRRRR ..... WOOOOOOOF!!
(Translation: GET YOUR STINKING BUTT OUT OF MYYYYYYYY CAR!!!)

Pedro kept asking mum if I was friendly.......

Mum's response was: Oh yeah, she just talks a lot.

Pedro looked a little suspicious of mum's answer, but he made the effort of trying to let me know he was nice. He got a treat out from his truck, asked mum if it was ok to give it to me, after interrogating about the entire nutrient content, mum said yes, so he approached me nicely and offered me the treat.

I knew he wasn't a bad person, but he was in MY SunshadeMOBILE doing doG knows what to her. So I took the treat from his hand and spat it out right away onto the wet ground just to let him know Miss Sunshade was NOT happy.

Mum was very apologetic about my behaviour, she picked the treat up and said: I'm very sorry she is just very picky about food (which we all know I'm NOT....hehe).

Pedro was nice and didn't seem offended at all. Then he got into MY SunshadeMOBILE again and started to wiggle the steering wheel VERY roughly while turning the key. Poor SunshadeMOBILE was shaking (pun intended). He said it was a seized cylinder or something and sometimes when you wiggle the steering wheel very hard, it opens up.

Well I could careless about what this Pedro guy said, but he was being TOO ROUGH to MY SunshadeMOBILE and I hated it. So yes, I went bizark........ I started lunging at the end of my leash, towards MY SunshadeMOBILE while snarling trying to get to Pedro and save MY car from the abuse. Mum finally had to make me do a down-stay with lots of "it's ok, he is NICE" and "LEAVE HIM" commands......... (I am regretting about losing my cool.... but seriously, I just can't stand it when someone/something I love is being mistreated....) (Mum's note: in her opinion that is LOL!)

Anyway, that stupid Pedro guy put my SunshadeMOBILE through all that abuse and still couldn't get the cylinder thingy to un-lock and finally had to tow MY car to the shop. Well, I went bizark again when I saw MY SunshadeMOBILE being towed away!! I kept trying to chase the tow truck, but my EVIL mum stopped me. Why does she always have to stop me from doing something VERY important??

So mum and I spent the next half an hour walking home from the park and both of us were terribly moody for different reasons:

Mum HATES my SunshadeMOBILE because it's always doing things like this for no reason at all. Well, actually, mum says the reason is because it's a Ford, and the worst model out of all the Focuses!!! The cylinder thingy locked up back in 2000 after just having the car for 2 months, it was brand new. It had to be towed and a new cylinder was replaced, and now in 2006, it's doing it AGAIN!! I personally think mum should cut SunshadeMOBILE some slack since the last cylinder lasted for almost 6 years!!

I was mad because well, mum let MY SunshadeMOBILE get towed away with that abusive guy and she didn't even try to stop him. Well I spent the rest of my day being moody. On our evening walk, I heard this a honk from a Ford Focus (yes I recognize the ignition sound and honk of a Ford Focus). I thought maybe that was SunshadeMOBILE, so I dragged mum over to check it out. SIGH..... but all I saw were two strangers with a green version of SunshadeMOBILE. (SunshadeMOBILE gives out a honk when you lock it) I was so sad I barely had enough strength to put one foot in front of another to make it home.........

The good news is that I have MY SunshadeMOBILE back now!! So everything is gooooood!! (Mum's note: except my bank account SUNSHADE!!!) Ah well WUTEVER, you'll live mum!
