A day in the Life of my Dog

There are many times when my dog Rocky does extremely remarkable things, which surprise me. I often wonder what happens during an ordinary day for a dog like mine. When Rocky wakes up in the morning, he wonders why our family has to go to a table, in order to have breakfast. He wonders why everyone has to be seated and eat using cutlery and other utensils. On the other hand, Rocky just uses his mouth without the need to use anything fancy.

Rocky usually wanders why there are many large rooms in the house and each has its owner. This makes him feel less inferior as he lives in a kennel, which is small as compared to the rooms. Furthermore, everyone seems to hide in their rooms and only come out when it is time to eat. Rocky is fascinated by how humans chose to hide in the safety of the rooms. My room has a cage, which contains a parrot, and it often talks to everyone who enters the room. Rocky thinks that I am cruel as I have locked a bird, which should be free, like the rest on the trees. Most times, it even barks when it hears Rocky making the same sound. Rocky believes that he is extremely lucky not to be locked up like the parrot. It seems that he is special to this family, and that is why he enters anywhere he pleases. My stereo is often blaring with loud music, and this makes me get into trouble with my folks. According to Rocky, there are people who live in the stereo and are responsible for the loud music. He often barks at the stereo in an attempt to make the people inside to come out. Unfortunately, he can bark for long periods of time without giving up, but no people come out of the stereo. It seems that dogs will never learn or change even though they keep on repeating the same thing many times.

The toilet is a fascination to Rocky, as he often sees people enter the washroom regardless of whether female or male. The sound of the toilet flushing makes him think that he is about to drown. When the latter takes place, he often runs away so as not to be consumed by the monster known as a toilet. There are many fascinating things, which make Rocky think that human beings are weird. Other times, he suspects that human beings are aliens as they behave differently from how he does. The sound and sight of water trickling down a shower or a tap is quite intriguing to him. He does not understand why it rains inside a building, yet it does not flood. Furthermore, the ‘rain’ is sometimes hot, yet he is used to cold, rainy water. The steam, which appears when one is showering, seems to be a ghost. There are many thoughts that run through Rocky’s life when he sees water and the manner, which people use it.

The television set is the most exciting thing in the house, and it has many intriguing channels according to Rocky. Rocky finds it hard to understand why the characters cannot get out of the television set. He finds it extremely compelling when people with guns shoot towards him, yet he never dies. Ironically, those who are shot in the television often lose their lives or become hurt. Rocky believes that his family as well as him are distinct, as nobody in the television has ever shot them. The National Geographic channel also fascinates him as he sees many animals that are strange to him. He wonders about the other world, which exists inside the television and how he would one day like to visit it.

Most times, when I am doing my assignments, Rocky often looks at me and probably thinks that I am strange. I often use a paper and pen when writing down my thoughts, and later type it on the laptop. According to Rocky, these rituals must be in preparation for an occasion. In fact, Rocky often keeps me company as he believes some bad people might steal my work. When charging the laptop Rocky stares blankly, as I am supposedly injecting it with electricity. Rocky remembers an incident whereby, I tried plugging the refrigerator on then it blew up. It seems that anything, which concerns electricity, is dangerous, and that is why Rocky fears sockets and plugs.

People keep on removing drinks and food from the refrigerator, and this must be a shop according to Rocky. There are many appetizing food stuffs, which are kept in the refrigerator. Rocky often sees me removing steak, which I then cook and serve to him. The refrigerator must be the houses owner, since it provides everyone with food. Indeed, there are many amusing things in the house which Rocky lives in. This is the life of my beloved dog Rocky.
