Deep Thoughts, by Lyle

Back Home Next

By now you all know that Dexter visited my house this past week.  It was an honor to host the chairman and his biped.  I have to admit, though, I was a little intimidated.  It is not very often that you get two such handsome and supersmart dogs in such a close space.  You might think that a Whigle as handsome and as smart as I am might never second-guess himself, and that is what I thought too before Dexter came to visit.  But once he was here I found myself thinking, "Will he think I am as handsome as he thought I would be?"  and "Will he be impressed with my smartitude?"  So you can see how that might make me cranky.  Not to mention that he was breathing my air.  You know how I feel about that.

And, just as Dexter suspected, I was thinking some very Deep Thoughts.  (I am pretty sure I can't actually cogitate, since I only have one stomach.  Too bad, I could put another one to good use.)  I was planning some special effects for my summer blockbuster.  And thinking up a song about pinecones.  It was very hard to think in the Chairman's presence.  But not to worry, I am back on track now.  Thinking, that is.

The most impressive thing I noticed about the Chairman was how dedicated he is to the D.E.T.H. cause.  Not only does he treat his biped ethically, he treats him almost deferentially.  (That's a big word that means "real nice."  Maebe looked it up for me.)  Every time his biped asked him to do something, he was right there with a smile and a "Sure, Boss."  Impressive.  Almost inspiring.  But not quite.  I am going to stick with Ethical for now and save Deferential for the higher ranking D.E.T.H. officials.  Unless you care to promote me, Mr. Chairman?
