Sunday night, after momma hung those ghastly fruitables curtains in the room formally known as my dog cave, PeeWee started doing the hurka hurka and totally blew chunks three times! After which he passed out on the couch.
At first I was kind of grossed out, but then I got to thinking that perhaps he was on to something, so I, Mango decided to go on a hunger strike until my dog cave was reverted back to it's original manly state (or at least until the 5000 sq. ft. flat screen TV and wet bar were installed).
So, starting on Monday I would NOT eat and let me tell you friends, it sure was a hard thing to do. Momma tried to entice me with all kinds of nommy foodables, but I remained firm in my protest. OK, sure, I sneaked some cheese when we were training, but I absolutely snubbed the five cups of kibbles and whatnot that were presented to me twice daily.
I had, however, underestimated the thickness of the DOH's skull. Rather than go to the negotiation table, she stopped walking me and even took a bag of my poo to the vet! Idiot! I was most concerned as to where such explorations might lead still stinging from a recent and shockingly undignified visit to the vet whereupon my poop shooter was the topic of discussion.
By Wednesday night I was beginning to feel a bit unsubstantial and I decided that it would be OK to eat supper since Master makes that for me and as far as Momma was concerned I was still not eating. Right?
WRONG! Master ratted me out (so much for solidarity among males) and so this morning I threw in the towel and most eagerly consumed my entire breakfast.
The moral of the story is that if your humans piss you off, hunger strikes are not the way to go and if your dog cave suddenly turns into some foo foo Lacie Beast magnet, time to embrace your feminine side.
Did you notice a dearth of pictures in today's post? Yuh, that is because during my hunger strike momma went on some sort of retaliatory flashie beast strike and did not take any photos of me for THREE WHOLE DAYS! As if!
I am reduced to showing you recycled images including this one showing one of my many and varied expressions (which you might want to emulate for my contest).
I call this, Mango Flummoxed.
Mango Man! Oh yeah!

Oh, poor Mango. I'm so sorry that you're going through all this. It's good that you ate, though. You need to keep your strength up in the face of all that purple. How about eating the purple bed? I know you could do it if you tried.
lotsa licks, Lola
Momma's entering Calhoun in the Be Like Mango contest!!! It should be up shortly! Calhoun is what Momma calls a "Teacup Mastiff". People ask us if he's a Mastiff all the time but they're stupid cuz he only weighs 80lbs!!!
Oh dear Mango! Not only do you have to deal with purple in your cave but the indignities of a vet visit. Hope you figure out a way to get your flat screen at least!!!

We're hoping for the flat screen for you - maybe it will cover up some of that purple!

Poor Mango. None of us have the internal fortitude to go on a hunger strike except maybe Ethel who is really just picky. The man cave is most concerning and if you would like we could send you some football stuff to make you feel more manly.

Mango Man...we think refusing foodabbles was a brave thing to do. Stoopid, but very brave. We hope you and Dexter Dude are feeling better.

Mango - never, ever, ever would I consider a hunger strike. I don't know whether to be in awe that you could last more than 5 minutes on a hunger strike or to worry that you're losing some of your relentlessly huge marbles. I will meditate on this later today.
Pooor Mango... AND Dexter, That is such an UN-manly cave. I fear that you may be in for a long winter of horrible NightMares and such. OOOOOH... now that just might be the answer for you two. Start HOWLING... every time you are Forced into that... unfortunate location..
I'm thinkin 3 or 4 nights of that and .... MASTER will be grabbing the paint and brushes!!
WE hope both you and Dexter are now back to normal food routines, you can't do that, Mango - not good for you. And we think maybe you should just give in to the new cave style and maybe that big screen will arrive.

We completely understand. There is noting worse than when your humans miss the point of a hunger strike, fly off the handle and run to the vet with poop in a bag. Seriously, why do humans think that a poop in the hand is worth two in the bush?
Hang in there big guy,
Love, Dozer and Cooper
We're glad you quit your hunger strike, Mango. We'd worry about you if you got all thin and Whippet-like.
Any idea why Pee Wee blew chunks? Did he eat something weird that he found on the grounds of the estate?
Do you not realize, oh mighty Mango, that in ancient time, the kings rejoiced to be among the few who could be disposed to decorate with precious purple. Indeed it was a sign of dignity and prosperity to have a home furnished in that luxurious and royal color.
I can't help you with those fruity curtains though. Can't you just pretend you thought they were bearing real fruit and eat them or at least destroy them?
Our hoomans need to take us more seriously!
Ohhh Mango.... I'm sorry. That you were sickies and that your hunger strike didn't work. I'm also here to say, sorry that I coincidently deleted one of your comments. Just know I read it and passed it on to Bu before pressing the wrong button.
much love, Jen, Bu and baby Nella-bean.
Dude, Mango... the purple has got to go! Glad you started eating again... those hungry strikes only hurt you!

Um, okay, Mango. I think you're full of the smarticles but a HUNGER STRIKE!? Have you suddenly lost your marbles? That's just a lose-lose situation all around. Meaning that only you lose. Maybe you oughta think about peeing on the curtains instead. You're tall enough to reach them, aren't you?

We will keep thinking of something that gets your room fixed!

Dang it. Too bad the hunger strike didn't work. Mom says she likes your purple cave.
I go on hunger strikes all the time, and trust me - they DON'T get you what you want. Hrumph!
Love,
Ammy
Um...I refoosed my kibble this week too...cuz it had bananas on it...like it does every day...but I won't eat those slimy things any more I tell ya...
It's heavenly living here in your Lacie Den. I'm wonderin' if Momma could serve my breakfast on the purple pillow tomorrow? Two poached eggs on toast points with fresh melon and squeezed oj...preferable just picked oranges...
Oh...I don't ever eat before 0900....crack of dawn...

Hey Mango! We just did our post for your contest: http://doublewoof.blogspot.com/2010/09/just-like-mango.html
Thank you!!!
Dear Mango,
I hope you are feeling much, much better by now - I can't even imagine me (or Avalon, for that matter) ever going on a hunger strike. Even if we were hurking and hurking, we'd still be up for eating anything lurking in our bowls. Sorry it didn't work out, but I hope you get something going re the purpleness in your cave. Hmmmmnnnn. Maybe you can get Peewee to hurk up the room a bit?
xoxoxoxo,
Sammie and Avalon
Oh, Mango! I am so very sorry that the hunger strike didn't work. I'd suggest explosive diarrhea to recolor those walls, but I'm afraid that would definitely lead to more inspection of your poop shoot, so perhaps not the best course of action.
Bunny
Hold everything.... you get TEN cups of food a day???? I need to go talk to my mom about this. I think I'm malnourished!!!
Glad you're eating betters!
Wags,

WHOAAAAA your den looks great but DUDE you are sooo asking for it... A PURPLE BED???? PURPLE?? YOU WILL NEVER get rid of her.. SHe will be there ALL THE TIME.. seriously think about this.... try another tactic like refusing to go outside to do your business( WHOA that is a good one Arch..) Let us know how that works we got a million of them.. Love A+A
Mango, I usually don't leave you comments because you usually have so many and I know I would get lost in the shuffle. Still know I will, but you have to know that I blew chunks (a human!) laughing while reading this most funny post. I know you do not think it is funny, but as the mom of two canines I could not contain myself. You and Dexter never fail to make me laugh and today, well, you know, you made me blow, you know..... chunks. But good ones.
Awww... poor Mango! That's not how you should be treated. Ok thanks mate for the tip on hunger strikes.. I shall not ever attempt it.
Mango!
Life in Purple! Hmmm...
Looks like things don't go right there in your house!
Hunger strike?? Nope. You need to try a different approach!
Good luck!
And glad you are eating again!
Take care
Kisses and hugs
Lorenza
So now Dexter is queezie and getting sick over your purple room. What a bummer that the hunger strike didn't work! Keep meditating - another idea will come to you, Mango!
Love ya lots

Sorry pal, but my hunger strikes work perfectly for me. Got your message though and I'll share with other, less fortunate than me, furiends.

Poor poor Mango!!! Sorry about your man cave!
You need to call MPS (Mastiff Protective Services)and report this affront to your dignity! Goodness, your really went overboard on the "Not eating" thing. THAT is NOT a viable protest around here! The CCC
