[Dailydrool] I am in big trouble

[Val Brewer]

aloha This is Mariah in Hawaii. I am in very big trouble. I am signed up for reform school along with my mother. no kidding. this is true. we are being set up for either anger management, manners, or criminal rehabilitation training, something like that. no joke.
One of the hobbies enjoyed by myself and my two sisters at our home is rushing the fence surrounding our home and cursing at any dogs who happen to walk by on the street on the other side of our fence. We consider it a sport—extreme watchdogging. I lead the back of course. And aside from the din of ferocious noise for a short period of time, it hasn’t been much an issue until...until...now. 
well, the slaves are having some repairs done on the house and workmen are in and out, And one of them didn’t push the gate closed hard enough to latch. so when I rushed the gate in a vicious frenzy cursing at a terrier on a leash walking in the road—holy basset, the gate. gave way —open sesame—and I just kept rushing right through it and of course ran up to the terrier and jumped him and a melee ensued. we were pulled apart (mom wasn’t there so she doesn’t know the exact details. a neighbor escorted me home, and Dad came out apologizing, but it was some kind of last straw for the slaves with my bossy and protective behavior.  I’m not really supposed to be a guard/attack dog that protects our property from other dogs (though any people including burglars are more than welcome).
so, the slaves have set me and mom up for a behavioral consultation and training. I am also edgy with dogs I meet in public. I always greet them cordially, but if they turn their backs on me, sometimes I go after them aggressively. my slaves have never allowed any incidents but I have not reformed the behavior.
here is the thing. when I was at Daphneyland, I was a model dog and didn’t do any of this.  so it must be the fault of my slaves. dad is irritated. Mom is wringing her hands. and they are waiting for a call back from the dog training place.
I hope I get the chance to beat up a few more dogs before I am reformed.  Mariah
