I didn’t flip that chair over

Yes, I was sleeping in the chair moments ago. But I, Rotto, I’m firmly pointing the paw at her, Chilli.

It happened like this. I was sleeping in the chair, minding my own business. I, Rotto, love a good snooze in the chair. I was having the best dream. I was in the park chasing balls and having a Rott ‘n’ roll, then …

BAM!

Out of nowhere, something hefty dropped onto me. My dream dissipated and her, Chilli, she was on top of me.

I, Rotto, I’m not a fan of being squashed, so I promptly got down. I, Rotto am a good boy.

Then her, Chilli, she started barking up a storm. So I raced to the door to check it out.

  • Was it that postie on his motorcycle who likes to touch MY letterbox?
  • Was the house under attack from a thousand swarming bees?
  • Was it a Zombie invasion? (I’ve seen those dirty rotten walkers on the TV and I, Rotto am ready if they ever invade.)
  • Drop bears? You’ve gotta watch out for them where I live.

Anyhoo, it was just the little people from next door playing on their scooters. False alarm.

But her, Chilli, she went over the top. Literally. She danced about on top of the chair and then bounced off so hard that the chair rocked. And the chair rocked so hard it flipped over.

I, Rotto, am indignant. Where’s a little Rott going to sleep now?
