King of the Deck

Arthur really appreciates the fact that when he's out back on the fancy new deck, he no longer has to lie in the dirt picking up fleas and weeds and burrs and whatnot that he then drags back into the house on his long, silky haunches where it accumulates into piles and forces somebody to have to get out the vacuum and plug it in and actually do some cleaning when they could be doing something way more interesting like sit on the couch with some chips watching television.

He told me this the other day.
