Why I Hate Bob Barker

Posted by Fisher

Sorry I haven't written sooner. I've been a bit under the weather. Well, okay, to be totally truthful about it, I went to the vet a week ago...Mike told me for a normal check up, right?
Wrong!

Let's just say I came out missing something...two things really. Uh huh. Mike has apparently been caught up in that whole Bob-Barker-Spay-And-Neuter-Your-Pet thing...to be honest, all this time, I didn't even know what spay or neuter was!!! Call me naive. But...the way Barker said it, I thought it was like camp or something. Yowsa! I know now. It's not camp.

Did anyone ask ME how I felt about going under the knife? Nope. One minute I'm minding my own business, and licking my own business...and the next thing I know, the nurse taps me on the head and says "Awww. How are you feeling Fisher?"

How do you think I feel!? Hello! I feel like someone shoved a hot poker into me and gutted me like a salmon. The name is Fish, but it's just a nickname, people!
Let me put it this way... Nursie, how would you like to go to sleep and wake up with a couple of pieces missing!? Mike...between us, I have some trust issues with you at the moment buddy!

It's been a week, and I suppose I'm getting the hang (poor choice of words, I know!) of ...well, uh, walking around not looking like my old self. My girlfriend Annie says she loves me just the way I am, but the whole time she is telling me this ... she is watching the news and wants to know if Paul Magers is single.
And, get this....Mike insists on watching "The Price is Right" during work hours...kinda sadistic if you ask me.

I want to watch "The View"....but noooooooooooo. Mike is such a company guy. All he says is, "But 'Price is Right' is CBS...and we work for CBS." (Every time I see that Barker though....ugh. You'd think a guy named Bark-er might be a little more dog friendly. I don't know. He has to be a cat person.)

Glad he retired. I swear if I ran into him in the hallways at CBS, I'm not sure what I would do. I know I would give him a piece of my mind. Why not...cause of him, I'm missing two other things!

So ... no puppies for me. Don't feel bad for me. Nope. Not at all. Mike says I should be okay with this. Instead of spending my days and nights at a stud farm where I would breed with some hot babe labs, and hang out all day, and ....breed some more, eat dinner and breed some more....and then get a snack, and, okay, breed some more.....he says I would have gotten completely bored with that. Uh huh. Yeah, sounds awful.

So, now I will get to spend a lot more time with Mike and the fine folks at CBS 2 and KCAL 9.

Mike says I'm "right on target" to be a guide dog...then again, the last thing he told me was that I was also going to the vet for a regular check up.

I went on line today to try to find out stuff about Drew Carey...the new host of "Price is Right." No word if Drew is a pet person, but, Drew...I already like you a lot more than Barker!
