My current accommodations are equipped with all the comforts and amenities one could hope for, but there is a considerable language barrier that exists between me and the owners. The owners speak English and because it’s uncertain if I originated from the United States, I suspect they are under the impression that I am incapable of comprehending their simple language. I say this because they constantly resort to screaming and throwing things toward my direction when I refuse to response to the commands they bark at me; perhaps they should consider the fact that clearly I do not wish to sit at any given moment, because if I did, I would have done so when they initially commanded me to do so, that’s another issue in and of itself, they chose to command rather than request that I do certain things which is perhaps why I chose to defy them. Sure I could do it, but why should I? They don’t do the things I would like for them to do, such as bring me home a decent meal and stop forcing that dry tasteless crap on me, that they purchase by massive pounds from Sam’s, Costco's, or wherever the sale may be that week.
Communication is an incredible form of expression, to be able to converse one on one with another on a vast array of subjects is not only exciting but informative as well. however, from time to time others may find themselves faced with an enormous obstacle, otherwise known as a language barrier – when this occurs it is best to either adapt to the situation by breaking down the barrier and learning the language or by improvising as I’ve been known to do on a number of occasion and ignoring the noise and express one’s self the best way one can – Howl, yowl, or wail if necessary, but by all means express yourself and be heard, even if they act as if they don’t know what the heck you’re saying. When the owners pretend to not know what I am saying, oh I get their attention, with a few accidents here and there or some well-defined scratches on the door, my message is clear and I am heard. I refuse to learn human-English, because it’s obvious they’re not attempting to learn my language, and until they do, I will continue my freedom of expression.
Wonderfully, The German Sheppard
