Chapter 6: Can't tie me down

The yuppies, in an effort to try and constrain me, have begun tethering me to a rope.  I am fully determined to Destroy the restraint they call a leash and fully defy any attempt by them to use it.  I figured my best shot at getting rid of this monstrosity would be non-violent civil disobedience.  My first attempts were to just lie flat on the ground every time they put the leash on me.  That didn't work to well as they would just drag me along the floor.  My second attempt was to go in the opposite direction they wanted to go, but again they would just pull me along.  I figured if they wanted to go forward so badly I would pull them along and started rushing ahead.  That didn't work either since, as soon as I started pulling, they would abruptly change directions, which was very confusing and it is tiring to keep rushing ahead in different directions.  Finally, I thought maybe I could grab the leash out of their hands and started playing tug-of-war with it.  But that just got me yelled at.  I am still devising a plan to lose the leash, maybe a hunger strike.  On the destruction front, I started by trying to pull it apart, but that didn't seem to work.  After many attempts to rip the leash apart, one day when the yuppies eating and weren't paying attention, I started chewing through the leash.  Before I knew it I had ripped the leash in two!  However, I became so distracted by the enjoyable act of chewing the leash, that I forgot to escape and the yuppies noticed my destruction before I had a chance to get away.  They tied the leash in a knot and took me home.  So much for my freedom.

  1. Good try on the leash front. Try again, but this time when the yuppies are distracted. Keep one eye on what's going on while walking, the other on the yuppie holding the leash. When yuppie is distracted and no obstacles in front of you, that's your chance - pull hard and then run. Don't forget to take your magic food bowl on walks. That way you'll always have food while on the lam!!

  2. Impressive! But you do have to keep your wits about you. It is hard to think of everything at once. Better luck next time.
    Don't underestimate the yuppies. They are a tricky bunch.
