Gklitch II

So, there I was looking at that dog of mine in the yard. And it was as though he were stuck. As though he had become an object rather than a sentient being. 

After a moment I hollered at him “Doggo. What the fuck?!” He looked up at me. But in a very suspiciously robotic manner. In a very measured manner. As though he were simply programmed to respond rather than responding to stimuli as an organic being would respond. It was as though he were cheaply programmed to only do the most basic call and response functions. 

Eventually I had to go out into the yard, and into the cold, as I just couldn’t get him to respond appropriately. Appropriately in this case would be “Doggo, come!” And Doggo would bound towards me and into the house. I mean, most of the time you say this dog’s name and he comes bounding enthusiastically without hesitation towards you. Which come to think of it is a bit suspicious itself. He’s usually ‘too’ responsive. Too overzealous in his manner. Overly responsive. Hmmm.

Anyhow, I go out into the cold and walk towards him. And that damn dog just stands there looking at me with any suggestion that he possesses a wit of intellect within his craggy ass cranium. It was not until I got within two feet of the damn dog than he suddenly had a ‘lights go on’ moment. It was just like that. Suddenly he was back on! Then it was as though nothing weird had happened and he was back to the same ol Doggo as he were before. 

It was damn creepy I tell you. Hugely unsettling. 

Is it just me?
