waking up angry

i am not sure anger is a good emotion to begin the day with. but i am begining it that way today. i am angry at nikki. last night i stood outside the house talking with a childhood friend who was visiting her natal home in the neighbourhood, after long years.

as i had just returned from walking the dogs i was in a pair of walking shoes and i had left this chappal at the base of the staircase (that takes me upstairs to my floor of the house) in the course of that approx. one hour that i stood there...nikki cleaned her dentures on my footwear. i was so angry that i hit her! i hate it but could not contain myself. it was less than a month ago that i had bought the pair. this was the 11th pair she 'retired' from my use.

i think one would understand when i feel like tying up this brat of a dog now and then. and just see what kind of a thing she has to be tethered with. everything else she chews off in no time.but just look at her face...how long do you suppose i can leave her this way? (usually it doenst last more than 15 minutes!)

why only chappals and footwear, everyday this gardener of a dog is upto pruning my plants and digging up the soil to either roll in it (which dogs do to change their smells, a sort of natural mechanism for deo-sprays. btw all the man-made deo sprays i got for the dogs have been unanimously vetoed by all of them. waste of my money) what do i do with this dog?

the flower bed that i had readied here a few days ago is the chosen one nowadays. everyday when she can, she goes to it and digs. once upon a tiem i wanted to give them a sand pit to play in. but then, for some reasons could not move to the hosue where i wanted to. i could not arrange for that here. so nikki is doing her own thing i suppose.
