Freak Dog

I'm not a freak! You're just dense!

People just don't understand and neither does my lunkhead brother, sleeping away on the bed! They say, "Go to sleep, Flea!" and "Would you just lie down!" They are unaware of the dangers lurking just the other side of the closet! I try to tell them, but do they listen? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! "It's just the heater, you idiot!" they say but I know better! Every Fall, when the weather starts to turn cold, the evil monster in the walls starts making those sounds! Click, click, click, BANG, Whooooooosh! No one but me seems to hear them, or worse, seems to CARE!! I remember them from last year, too. Okay, nothing happened last year, but this year could be different. It's usually Anthony's job to watch for danger. I don't know how he can sleep through this, dumb, dog! I wake up, stand up, try to wake up Mom. Get out! Get out! Save us from the evil furnace monster!! I'll keep at it, though, till someone takes me out of the bedroom and sleeps with me on the couch, or until that monster goes away in the Spring, or until I forget again and can once again sleep the sleep of the ignorant. But next year, I'll be ready........
