Early Morning Anthropomorphism

Each morning, in addition to serving up Baxter her greens, I throw in an ample amount of hay as part of her breakfast. Recently, we got a new brand of hay. And every morning, as I’m reaching for the bag, I run through the same, silly little scenario in my head.

First off, I imagine that I’m a Dr. Dolittle kind of sheriff in a very rural, sleepy farm town. And I’m visiting a farm to investigate a robbery. Someone, I know, is responsible for breaking in to the grain silo, and making off with the goods.

As I interrogate the lineup of suspects, I imagine their voices. Going left to right, this is what I hear in my head:


I didn’t do it.

I didn’t do it.

I didn’t do it.

I WAS NEVER… I DIDN’T GO NEAR… WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME? WHAT’S WITH ALL THE QUESTIONS?

  • Felix, you are insane! But in a good way.

  • funny and absurd enough that it should be illegal to read this at 1:40a

  • That’s hilarious! Btw, what the heck is that last guy? Rabbit, chinchilla, guinea pig, ????

  • I think its a ground hog, but I could be wrong since I don’t know anyone who has a pet ground hog.

  • Marty–It’s a prairie dog.

  • You mean a GUILTY prairie dog.

  • Only if you don’t believe in due process!

  • You city folk always get me, with your “due process” and “Miranda rights” and “evidence.” We do things differently, out here in the country.

  • Lol…do people have prairie dogs as pets??? That seems…odd.
