I Feel Puppy Today

I feel puppy today. Am I a sad in-the-doghouse puppy or am I a where-do-I-hide-this-bone excited puppy? Sometimes it can be hard to tell. I know that sounds strange, but I have been depressed and mildly manic at the same time. Right now I am just dog-tired. Why do I feel puppy? Well, I am short, furry and cute ... Curses, foiled again. I keep trying to be scary; I always fail. No one has ever found me scary. Although, there was that guy who asked me out in middle school. I hope he recovered. That is completely off-topic. We were discussing puppiness in all it's myriad forms. I am a puppy of the two-legged variety. I bark more often than most puppies of my breed, but it's always playful and rarely loud. I absolutely never ever bite (hard.) Many people claim that puppy is in fact a noun. Puppy is far too versatile a word to be limited in such a fashion. Here are some examples to prove my point. Bob took his puppy to the vet (noun.) "Why did you do that?" "I was just feeling puppy" (adjective.) He greeted me puppily (adverb.) I would now like to apologize to all non-native English speakers reading this post. Thank you and good night.
