The King Is Bored

King Rex sits gloomily upon his throne. He is sovereign of all the lands, yet vexed with ill humor. What profits a king, he muses, if he rules a kingdom yet cannot quell the stirrings of his own restless heart? Perhaps he shall order the Master of Revels to stage a gladiatorial battle among the local cats for his amusement.

That usually works.

Hail to the king, Sharon H.

    They have staged this scenario repeatedly on Walking Dead! With humans.

    Me thinks King Rex is on the lookout for Walking Doggos! Who we hope are very much alive.

    It’s very very good for a very very good boy to be King!

    I think dogs (and cats) own the world and we just live in it. Luckily along side of them.

      Ha ha! Just remembered I was in Walmart the other day and there was a doggy wearing a taco costume. And his name was TACO!!!! Died laughing when I heard the owner call him.

    Wait, what?? Is that a rooftop? With an easy chair (or any kind of chair, for that matter)? 🙂

      What, like that’s unusual?

      Never know who’s coming. Need a lookout station.

      I can’t seem to find a source for the image, so I only have speculation to go on. That looks like the bare framing of a roof in the background, sticking up significantly higher than whatever the dog is on. And it’s obviously been raining. The roof the chair is on appears to be corrugated medal, like for a shed. Maybe it’s a hurricane-blown chair on top of a shorter-than-it-looks structure and the dog sought high ground to avoid flooding and took advantage of a lounge chair of opportunity?

    I bet it’s a Bark-a-Lounger!

    (I can’t take credit for that one, it was a brain teaser in the paper the other day).

      Woof!
