Hi, people, Spike here. So, I almost did not get to communicate with you all today. You see, I don't like the cold probably even more than I dislike the white stuff. I absolutely refused to go outside this morning - no, really, Laurie could not even bribe me with a treat. Then when she got home, I took 20 minutes (she checked) to finally do my business. She told me if I did not do my thing, then I could not tell my story.
So I went, and here I am! Not to talk about the cold, especially since it is not nearly as cold here as it is in other parts of the country, nor do I want to sing Britney Spears' songs. Instead, I want to talk about how the Man almost sabotaged his Colts over the weekend Ala the Broncos - Patriots game disaster of Thanksgiving.
Do you see the picture? Aside from the fact that I look extra cute, I am wearing the wrong team's hat! Don't let the Man tell you he was trying to protect me from the cold as Laurie has one just like it with the proper team on it. You see, Laurie slept through much of the Colts - Chiefs game on Saturday afternoon. She was pretty tired, and I was super sad because my grandparents (Laurie's parents) had left the day before. So as a punishment for her nap, the Man tried to switch my allegiances AGAIN - this time to the little horse team (the Colts vs. the big horse team, the Broncos).
When Laurie awoke sometime during the third quarter the Colts were down, 38-10 to which she asked the Man, "what's up with your team?" His response, "the Colts only seem to have bad 'Luck' on their side." Shortly thereafter, however, the Colts went on a crazy run overcoming one o f the largest deficits in playoff history to win 45-44. Here is a picture from the Kansas City Star newspaper:
What does this all this have to do with the Man and my unfortunate quoting of the Britney Spears song? Well, when Laurie suggested to the Man that my adorable picture should be his Facebook profile picture, the truth came out that the Colts went on their unfortunate downward slide shortly after the Man put the hat on my head! It was after he took it off, that the Colts turned things around!
While Laurie had high hopes that after the outcome of the Broncos game that the Man would learn not to mess with my sports allegiances! Even though the Bears blew their playoff chances, I will remain a fan of the Bears for as long as Laurie does, which should be forever. Although, truth be told, she is still contemplating which team will be her, "the Bears did not make the playoffs, so she needs a bandwagon team for the duration." It may be the Colts, as that Andrew Luck kid sure is fun to watch...
Still, don't mess with me, Man! I have powers beyond your understanding! Until next time, stay warm, everybody!
