A “Just Brent” Service Announcement

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

TO ALL OF

"MY HEY GIRLS IT'S ME BRENT"

AND

CANINE FRIENDS!

Beware! Do not let this happen to YOU!

Unfortunately, Some Humans (The Old Lady in particular) seem to have more SENIOR moments than others! They will unthinkingly place a wooden bowl filled with a display of summer fruits on the patio table and remark, "Now this looks festive and inviting!" and then walk away.

Unsuspectingly you stroll by and think... “Hmmm grapes. Well now, I feel both festive and invited!” You quietly take the green grapes out of the bowl and then scoot yourself out to your private corner in the yard behind the rose bushes. At this point, you ingest all of the grapes noting that they are a bit chewier than first appeared and they do not have that tasty flavor you had anticipated either. In fact, they actually taste much like your favorite red ball that you cannot find because your snooty cousin Sonie has taken it hostage! (Believe me girls I will rescue "Old Red" if it is the last thing I do!) After finishing off the "chewy" grapes your stomach will begin to utter "What the heck are these green blobs?" and return all of the grapes in one lurching motion on the patio steps. Then The Old lady will come upon them, react in one of her regular over the top dramatic diva modes, and shout "BRENT! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" It is at this point that the big dog Doc walking by you will stop and whispers in your ear "Dude what were you thinking? They're plastic......and besides that, DOGS CAN'T EAT GRAPES! Real, or plastic evidently!" Laughing to himself the big dog will walk over to your Mom Biscuit, who by now is standing with her head hanging in shame, and offer her re-assuring words that it's not her fault!
Later in a moment of blind weakness and self pity you might try and re-ingest one of the now obviously "plastic" grapes you find hanging off of a thorny rose bush, only to have your belly sputter it back up and out in protest to your now obvious ignorance. Some lessons are harder to learn than others are "Hey Girls" and Canine friends.

Never the less, learn I have and now you are warned!

DOGS AND GRAPES (REAL OR PLASTIC) DO NOT MIX EVER!

Thank You for Your Attention to this Matter,

Your Friend,

Brent the Boy Boxer Dog

Post Warning, warning: The red waxy apples aren't so good for you either and they REALLY are TASTELESS!
