About Bongo

I am a dog who has lots of mini adventures that I love to share. I live with a cat named Scratchy who sometimes steals my blog, and with two people. When my adventures don't turn out so well I get my person to laugh while she helps me write my blog and then I don't get into as much trouble.

What’s in the Bag?

07 Apr

Scratchy, what did you find? Is that what I think it is? Come on Scratchy, tell me what you’ve got.

Scratchy, if you don’t tell me I’m going to tell my our person that you’re getting into her bag.

There must be some really good stuff in there. What are those different colored things?

Oh, I know what those are. Scratchy, you’re going to get into real trouble if you don’t leave those alone.

You know what those are? They’re the eggs that belong to the Easter Bunny. I was looking everywhere for that bunny’s stash the other day and I couldn’t find it. How did you find it?

Scratchy, the Easter Bunny is supposed to hide those eggs for me us on Easter morning so we can have an egg hunt. If you don’t give those eggs back to that bunny how are we going to have an Easter egg hunt?

You’d better give those eggs to me Scratchy. I know where that bunny lives – well, sort of. I saw him on my trails.

Scratchy, are you listening to me? Come on, Scratchy. My person is taking me for a walk soon. I can find that bunny and give the eggs back.

Scratchy, stop guarding those eggs!

I’m Not Shy

06 Apr

When I take my person takes me for walks she never lets me run up and greet people. I’m not sure why. People always love me and I just love to give them lots of slobbery kisses. When we’re on my trails and people come toward us she pulls me aside until they pass. She only lets me greet them if they ask first.

Today we were on the trails and two people came toward us. My person pulled me off to the side and for a moment my head turned the way she was pulling me – toward the side of the trail and away from the people.

The lady must have seen my head turn and she said something about me being shy. I had no idea what that word meant and I had to ask my person.

Are you serious? It means that? I’m not shy.

Hey lady, you must be confused. I tried to run after that lady and set her straight – and maybe give her lots of slobbery kisses to prove it – but my person wouldn’t let me.

How am I going to let that lady know? Maybe I could rent an airplane. You know, the kind with the words hanging out the back? I could have a big banner flying behind the airplane that says “Bongo’s Not Shy!!!” Then to really prove it, I could jump out of the airplane with a parachute.

On second thought, I think I’ll just keep walking along the trails with my person.

Riley’s Rocks

05 Apr

My person did it again. She went off and left me and found another dog to take pictures of. I think I’m going to fix my person’s camera so it only takes a picture when I’m in it.

My person said she didn’t mean to find a dog. She said she wasn’t looking for another dog. She just happened to find one. I’m not sure if I believe her.

She said she was walking with some friends in a strange neighborhood. Any neighborhood that isn’t mine is strange – and I don’t know what my person was doing walking somewhere other than my trails.

She said she just happened to see Riley standing next to his sign and she said it was too good not to take a picture.

I guess that wouldn’t have been so bad, her taking a picture and all – but you know what she did then? She went onto Riley’s rocks and said hi to him. She didn’t have to do that.

My person did say that Riley was very interested in checking me out. I guess my person does love me. She takes me everywhere even when she leaves me at home.

I think next time though, I’d better go with my person for real and teach Riley how to jump that electric fence.

Whose Dish is it Anyway?

04 Apr

Scratchy is such a copycat. Whenever I go drink water out of my dish he’s right there waiting so he can drink water out of my dish too. He has his own, but for some reason he likes mine better.

Check this out. As soon as I leave my dish he’s right in there drinking out of it.

Well, maybe not right there. He’s a little slow in the uptake sometimes.

There, see. Right there drinking out of my water dish. It’s a good thing he doesn’t drink much. If he did I could die of thirst before my person got around to filling up my dish again.

I’m a little tired of Scratchy always doing this though. Always hanging around me. Always drinking out of my water dish. Next time he tries it I think I’m going to have a little surprise planned for him.

Hey Scratchy! You get in my water dish – I get in your face.

Another Sign of Spring

03 Apr

There’s something missing here. I know it was here yesterday, so where is it? What happened to it?

My puddle is missing. Yeah, I know it has been getting smaller the last few days, but I didn’t think it would go away. It got all filled up after that big snow we just had. I didn’t think it would leave so fast.

Where did it go? Maybe it went where the snow creatures go when all the snow goes away. I wonder if that puddle could find them. They went away awhile ago.

Oh, no! I hope that puddle didn’t get lost. If it’s lost it might not ever find its way back here. I would be very sad if my puddle never came back. Maybe I should go looking for it.

Person, can we go looking for my puddle? But I don’t even know which direction to go. It left without a trace. I don’t see a drop of water anywhere.

What? I might have to wait until it rains again, person? But that won’t do me any good. Then there will be water everywhere and I still won’t know which direction to go to look for my puddle.

Signs of Spring

02 Apr

I just saw one of the first signs of spring. Yeah, I know. Flowers have been coming out. We already have little purple ones, white ones, and yellow ones blooming. Oh yeah, those orange-red Indian Paintbrush too. Some trees have already blossomed and others are starting to get leaves on them. But that’s not what I was thinking about.

The ants have shown up again. They’ve pushed the dirt out of their holes and they’re keeping busy looking for food. I guess they sleep all winter and work really, really hard the rest of the year.

I’m not sure if I’d like that. If I slept all winter I’d miss playing in the snow – and the mud. And then I’d have to work very hard the rest of the year to make up for it. No naps – just work, work, work.

And I bet none of those ants have a person who helps them write a blog. So even if they did have fun nobody would know about it. And just think – if they tried to play ball they would get squished under it.

I’m sure glad God made me a dog.

Who’s Talking?

01 Apr

What kind of day is it today, person? What’s a Palm Sunday? Is that when you give me loves all day with the palm of your hand?

Well, what is it then?

He did? Jesus rode on a donkey? Hey, there’s an animal in this story. I think I’m going to like it. Does this donkey talk like Balaam’s donkey?

Okay, I’ll listen.

My person says Jesus came riding into Jerusalem on a donkey and the people were happy to see him because of the miracles he had done. They spread their cloaks and branches on the road before Jesus and they took palm branches and went out to meet him.

Oh, now I get it. That’s why it’s called Palm Sunday because of the palm branches. What’s a palm branch, person? I don’t think I’ve seen one of those.

Why do they grow in Phoenix, but not here? Can we go to Phoenix so I can see palm branches?

Okay, I’m listening.

When Jesus and the donkey came by the people shouted, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”

Some of the Pharisees (the guys who didn’t like Jesus because he gave them what for) told Jesus to tell his disciples to be quiet. You know what Jesus said? He said, “If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

You mean the donkey doesn’t talk, but the stones do?

Beans or Corn?

31 Mar

I decided to do a test the other day. Awhile back I ate a bunch of dried beans. They tasted pretty good, but it took me two days to get rid of them. It was kind of rumbly in my tummy. Recently my person gave me the chance to compare them with something else.

She had some supplies left from her Sunday school class in a bag in her room. Most of it was stuff I didn’t care about, but there was one thing in there that had an interesting smell to it. Not a strong smell, but still interesting. My person must have forgotten it was there.

I waited until my people were out of the house and then searched through her bag and found it. A cup full of unpopped popcorn. I quickly pulled it out of the bag and spread it across the floor so I could taste it at my leisure.

I have to admit that it wasn’t as good as the beans. And I’ll still rank dog treats way above either.

You Dropped What?

30 Mar

Hey Scratchy, what is that? What are you checking out on the carpet?

Move over, Scratchy. Something dropped out of my person’s sandwich, didn’t it? You won’t eat it. Move aside so I can.

Hey, what is this? It’s got some tuna juice and mayonnaise flavor on it. I’ll lick that off. But this is – this is——olives!

Yuck! I hate olives!

Here, person. I’ve licked all the tasty stuff off the outside. You can stick those olives back in your sandwich now.

Quail Talk

29 Mar

I wish I understood quail talk. Today I saw a quail in a tree and it was talking to another quail. The first quail would make a sound and then the second would answer.

I wonder if they were talking about me. I sure wish I knew what they were saying. What if they were laughing at me? They were way up in the trees and I was on the ground. Maybe they thought that was funny.

Or maybe they were making fun of the way I look. I don’t think I look that bad, but I sure look different than those quail.

Maybe they took some lessons from those pesky squirrels and they just wanted to give me a bad time. I might have to take some tree climbing lessons so I can go after them. Or maybe some lessons in quail talk so they can’t talk right in front of me without me knowing what they’re saying.

What, person? You think they were calling to find a mate? They were looking for a cute girl quail so they could have fuzzy little quail babies?

You mean they weren’t talking about me at all? Come on quail. I thought I deserved more attention than that.
