Why Does He Keep Smiling at Me?

Sometimes, my human can be most annoying. I'll give him an obvious look to let him know I desire something so that he can proceed to minister to my needs. And he'll just sit there and smile at me. It's so infuriating. Does he not understand dog?

What do I have to do to get him to respond in the way he should? And why should I have to do anything? Sometimes, it's enough to make a dog want to pick up his bone (or his ball) and go home. Except that I am home.

If it weren't for the fact that he feeds me, lets me outside, and lets me play keep-away with him, I'd consider trading in my human for someone else. After all, there has to be someone out there with an IQ higher than a can of Alpo who understands me.

Then again, seeing the problems humans have understanding each other, maybe I'm asking too much. They always seem to misinterpret, misunderstand, and misquote each other. No wonder they call dogs "man's best friend." They can't seem to communicate with one another well enough to get along.

Bark. Bark. Howl.
