Size Does Really Matter

There are these strange creatures in my back yard. They are not very scary from far away. I bark at them and let them know that I am in charge. They seem to know this and they sometimes run away. One day, my Mom had this brilliant idea to put me on a leash and take me out for a little walk. Didn’t anyone tell her that I am a Chihuahua, not a Labrador. The leash thing is highly overrated when I could just be carried. I even fit in a little backpack. Put it on, put me in and off we go. But no, my Mom thought that an outdoor adventure would be good for me. We were getting closer to the strange creatures and I decided that they are way bigger than I thought. I headed the other direction hoping to take my Mom with me, but she didn’t come. I tugged on the leash and I might have let out a small whine. It is all a blur to me now, but the big animals wanted to check me out. Yikes. They are horses and their feet are really big. They have these big noses that snort and really big eyes. They looked at me, I looked at them and I decided that we will not be friends. I don’t even want to be in charge of them anymore. I think I will stop barking at them as I don’t want to call attention to myself. They might snort on me and I could drown. No more outdoor adventures Mom.
