French Prison is Not Fun

I'm sorry I haven't posted in so long. The French secret police found out about my plot for World Dogination and I was brought in for "questioning." I can't talk much about what ensued for the next few days, but I'm sure that they violated many of the Geneva Convention anti-torture constraints. Here's just a little of what happened:

1. First, they put me into a room full of cats and I had to listen to them complain for over 24 hours. Cats complain a lot.

2. Then, they tied me to a tree and put a soup bone just out of my reach.

3. Next, they sent in a beautiful French Poodle to interrogate me. She nearly wore down my resolve with her sexy foot poofs, but I kept strong in the interest of dog and country.

That's about all I can remember. I think they drugged me. I woke up on a train to Germany -- clearly, I had been tossed out of the country. Fortunately, Nikki was with me, and we were able to get back to Hamburg just in time to get onto the Queen Mary 2 again. We have been on a ship now for 3 days, and I'm relieved to have escaped with no physical harm.

Mission Take Over Paris: Failed

But don't feel sad for me, my dear followers. I'm on the ship again, and Mission Take Over Queen Mary 2 is back in effect. Because I've already done a transatlantic voyage, I'm that much stronger, that much smarter, and now that I feel recovered from my ordeal in Paris, I think I'm ready to make the final push for World Dogination. My little revolution is going to start smaller than I'd hoped, but a little doggie has to start somewhere.

An American Dog In Paris

The international adventures of Pepper, an American Miniature Schnauzer, as he traveled from New York City to Paris (via Hamburg and Amsterdam) on Cunard's ocean liner, the Queen Mary 2.
When I was 11 years old, my human, Nikki Moustaki, and celebrated our 10 year anniversary with the trip of a lifetime to Paris, via Cunard's luxury liner, the Queen Mary 2, quick stops in Hamburg and Amsterdam, and then on to Paris. It turned out to be a real adventure. And since I have no control over my wardrobe, NIkki insisted on dressing me like a girl. I did not approve of this whatsoever, but I am just a small dog with no opposable thumbs, so I can't dial a cell phone for help. I posted nearly every day to let all of my canine friends know what it was like to be an American Dog in Paris.
