What crosses to a dog's mind?

Many people for many centuries have wonder the question of what crosses a dog's mind. Many wanna decipher the ancient all inquiry of man's best friends. Well, let me tell you. It is not that complicated to guess. Here is an example of an episode in my life.

A Moment if the Life of Chuco.

I was walking with Mico and my annoying sister Chica through my quiet neighborhood. I should also mention that everybody and their dog (no pun intended) have a dog or two. As we gracefully stroll, two of my equivalents run through the front yard with offensive barks they greed us. Let's call this two Tuco and Squatty (and yes that's what I call them out loud).

Tuco and  Squatty are my two neighbors that collide at the back of my crib.We hear them yap all the time. Of course, like good dogs we are, we respond to their yap with more yap. It has been a constant battle. Tuco and Squatty think they own the whole block. Mico and I are here to tell them, hells no!

So we meet snout to snout. These two call us names, that I don't care to remember. Only a picket fence separate us. Mico and I are not scared we sink our snouts to bark even louder. Mico is new at this, so he gets in a bit of a shock. Mico has finally found the two yappers and instead of bark he emits a high pitch yell. Translation to human language: not me, you, not me, yours, not me, you, not me, yours. Over and over again till we have gone far enough that we couldn't see them.

Where is Chica in all this? Hiding. I said it once and say it again. She doesn't know she is a dog. In all this she was confused. She wasn't saying anything but her expression was of disbelief. This is not happening, waaah!

And me? . . . well I have taken a boxer and pitbull mix (don't mind my toothlessness). I am not saying that I have won. I am just saying I am not afraid of a little blood. I could have jumped the fence and kicked those two. They deserved. Only because they live in all the corner doesn't mean they own the whole block.

I rather take this peacefully, but those two didn't give me a choice. After all, I am a dog. And I am doing what dogs do, be unpredictable.
