Tupper’s Tidbits: Tupper’s Top Five Things to Occupy

Who wouldn’t want to get close up to this face? (Christina Senecal)

Occupy Wall Street (#OWS) has been in the news for a few months now. Usually, I try to avoid controversial issues, but it finally dawned on me…I can use this method to benefit ME! I think it’s time I get the mommies to pay attention to me and MY NEEDS! (I am obviously neglected!)

For this issue of The Archway, I present “Tupper’s Top Five Things to Occupy.”

5. OFD – Occupy Food Dish. Unless you’re a COMPLETE stranger, this should come as no surprise. I want more food. All the time. Can you blame me, though? The mommies cook me good stuff – turkey, lamb, salmon, and veggies. It’s dish-licking good!

4. OBB – Occupy Big Bed. Some of you may know I have my own bedroom at Mommy Tina’s. In addition to my den and play area, I have a big hooman bed, too. A couple of down comforters and a fleece blankie keep me cozy. Why am I not allowed access to this bed all the time? Actually, I should have this bed amidst a mob of people scratching me and telling me how adorable I am! Like Cleopatra…only cuter.

3. OTC – Occupy The Couch. Once in a while, I need a change of scenery from the bedroom. I’m not always allowed on the couch, though, and I have problems getting up there sometimes. Momma says it’s like watching a toddler trying to climb on something. Not nice. And not fair!

2. OTB – Occupy Toy Box. If we’ve been through this once, we’ve been through it a million times. My toys need to be spread out all over the room, NOT neatly placed in the toy box. All the better if you step on my half-chewed Nylabone with bare feet. That’s what you get for messing up my flow.

And the number one thing I’d like to protest is:

1. OBC – Occupy Bryant’s Campus. It’s no secret that I want to spend more time on campus. Have you ever seen the mommies try to get me to the car at the end of the day?? *BUZZER* Nope, MAKE me leave! I love my students, I love the attention, and I love that my mommies often take my leash off because there isn’t traffic. Bryant University is the best place in the world! Who wouldn’t want to be here?? Well, besides you guys gearing up for finals…

So there you have it. I’m keeping it real here in the 401. What would you do without me? ‘Til next time…WOOF!
