♫I'll have a blue foot day, it's certain♫

♫If only my pads would stop hurtin'♫

♫I'd be doin' alright♫

♫If my paws were still white♫

♫But I'm havin' a blue, blue, blue, blue foot day♫

I am BLUE!  Yes, blue.  And I hates it.  In fact, everyone is blue.  The boss man is blue.  The boss ma'am is blue. Well, Little Bit is not blue, but if she doesn't take a breath and stop laughing at me she will probably turn blue too.

I guess I should explain.  I have always had nice soft feet.  They are perfectly good feet.  They are so soft that when I was a puppy I would get splinters.  They are a little tougher now, but unfortunately they are not always strong enough for my rough-and-tumble lifestyle.

 Sometimes they get little cracks in them.  This is not a problem.  In fact, sometimes it is a good thing.  This is where Doodlebug came from.  Oh, Doodlebug, how I miss you!

AnyLoo, the bosses heard about this goop that is supposed to make my pads tougher.  (Thanks for nuthin', bug boy.)  I was all for it at first.  I like to look tough.  So I am willing to give it a try.  Next thing I know...

I am BLUE!!!  So is everyone else.  Blue is not my color.

But it gets worse!!  It STINKS!!  Hoo--eee, it stinks.  Little Bit says, "Ye gods, you STINK!"  This time, I have to agree with her.  It is not a good dead thing/digested thing/rotten thing stink.  It is a TERRIBLE stink.  I am offended.  I pride myself on being handsome and smelling good.  I do not smell good.  Turns out this goop is made with Cod Liver Oil.  You might think that this would smell great, be good to roll in, but trust me, it is not.  This is no way for a congressional candidate to smell. 

♫Blue goo♫

♫Why don't you leave me alone?♫

♫It's your smell I don't care for♫

♫This dog de-serves a bone!♫
