Blog Theft

07 May

My person has been glued to her computer lately.

So you’d think she’d be helping me more with my blog.

I mean, what other reason would there be for her to be on the computer?

But no, I’m not sure what she’s doing.

She hasn’t even helped me answer all my friends who’ve made comments on my blog in the last few days.

And now I’m way behind.

So I hope everybody will understand.

It’s not my fault.

***

What, person?

You want to do what!?

No person, you can’t do that!

Listen to this.

A couple days ago I was innocently napping and a cat stole my blog.

Now my person wants to steal my blog.

And she’s not even going to wait till I’m asleep.

She wants to show you what she’s been doing while she’s been glued to the computer.

She says she’s been taking a Photoshop class (whatever that is) and she’s been working on her final project.

***

I guess I might as well let her show it to you or I’ll never hear the end of it.

What!?

You’ve got two pictures?

Oh alright. Go ahead.

I hope she’s done now and I can have my blog back.

Scratchy, don’t you dare come near this computer!

Confused Cactus

06 May

There is a lot of prickly pear cactus on my trails.

Most of the time if you stay away from the cactus, it will stay away from you.

That’s how we get along, that cactus and I.

All winter that cactus sits around and doesn’t do much of anything – except maybe get eaten by javelina.

But in the spring the prickly pear has blossoms.

They’re not quite here yet.

.

And it will be bad when they do come out because my person will stop and take all kinds of pictures of them.

Hey wait a minute!

The prickly pear around here don’t have pink blossoms.

What’s going on?

If I were a pink flower I would not be growing there.

They must be stuck.

***

But back to the prickly pear.

In the fall they have fruit.

Big, red, juicy fruit.

Like pears with prickles.

But I found this one prickly pear that doesn’t seem to know what time of year it is.

Or maybe this prickly pear is trying to be my friend.

No flower pictures.

This one cut right to the fruit.

Gizmo’s Blog

05 May

Bongo left his blog open.

I’ve always wondered about that.

Oh, this is Gizmo by the way.

I’m the new cat here.

The one that’s putting Bongo in his place.

Scratchy tries alright, but he definitely needs some help.

So that’s where I come in.

.

But about this blog…

There’s got to be something I can do with this.

Let me see.

Oh, I know.

I’m pretty sure this computer has some pictures of me on it somewhere.

I’ve just got to find where they are.

Here it is!

Bongo will never know what happened to him.

Popping In

04 May

Person, last week you told me that after Jesus disappeared from his tomb He kept popping up here and there.

Sometimes He’d show up and sometimes He’d disappear.

So now you’re telling me He’s still popping up?

I like to jump up and down a lot, but I’m not sure I can keep up with Jesus’ popping up.

Okay, I’ll listen.

***

On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”

***

Wait a minute!

This is too much.

You mean Jesus popped right through that locked door?

Are you sure He didn’t knock first and one of the disciples let Him in?

Yes, I’m listening.

***

After He said this, He showed them His hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.

***

So you mean, if Jesus’ hands and side were all healed the disciples wouldn’t know it was Him?

How come He didn’t show His hands and side to those other disciples?

You know, the two that He walked along the road with.

I am listening.

***

Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”

***

Where is Jesus sending them?

Maybe He’s sending them to walk on my trails with me.

That would be cool!

I’m listening. But wouldn’t it be better if the disciples were here and I could listen to them?

I bet they’d have some pretty good stories to tell.

***

And with that Jesus breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”

***

I guess those disciples need to go to someone else.

I don’t have any sins to forgive.

***

Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in His hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe it.”

***

I sure hope Jesus pops in again when Thomas is around.

Otherwise Thomas will be a doubter forever.

Maybe if he makes Jesus some popcorn…

Arrow

03 May

Would you look at this?

Somebody put an arrow on my trails so everybody knows which way to go.

It’s a good thing too, because someone might go the wrong way through the parking lot and end up out on the street.

Then who knows what would happen.

Cars don’t go very fast on my street so they wouldn’t be bothered and they’d just keep wandering.

They might get lost.

They could end up all the way down by the highway.

And cars go fast there.

Yup. It’s a good thing somebody put this arrow here.

.

Are you coming person?

It’s this way.

Colorful Trouble

02 May

What’s this?

This splash of color here.

What is it?

Is it what I think it is?

Because if it is I’m really in trouble.

It means my walks are going to take forever the next couple of weeks.

Didn’t this just happen last year?

How come it has to happen again so soon?

.

I think I’m going to protest.

Yup. The hedgehog cacti are all starting to bloom again.

And my person has to stop and take pictures of every one of them.

I might as well roll over and play dead.

Missing the Photo Ops

30 Apr

We heard a really bad flute player on my trails today.

She was hanging out with the rock piles.

But my person wouldn’t take a picture.

Something about embarrassing the flute player.

I don’t know why she would have been embarrassed by having her picture taken.

Now if my person had recorded her playing the flute she probably would have hid under all those rock piles.

It would have been really embarrassing.

So we walked on and we saw a snake.

And my person still wouldn’t take a picture.

Something about the snake hiding before she could get her camera out.

She could have just yanked it by the tail before it got away.

It didn’t have one of those rattler things on it that I’m not supposed to play with.

But that didn’t happen.

So what does my person take a picture of?

Flowers!

Do you believe it?

All those good photo opportunities and she takes pictures of flowers.

So I decided I was going to do something about those flowers so my person couldn’t take any more pictures of them.

Help!

Those flowers must be powered by aliens.

Almost an Adventure

29 Apr

My person has been glued to the computer the last few days.

Even more than usual.

So I haven’t been having many adventures.

Well, she is still letting me take her for walks on my trails, but she never wants to take the extra time to have an adventure.

So I don’t have anything to tell you today.

The best I can come up with is a soon to be adventure.

And it has to do with flowers, so you know I’m desperate.

They’ve got their mouths open so you know they’re looking for something to eat.

.

But what they don’t know is that they’re about to be eaten themselves.

By a cactus!

Weather Mischief

28 Apr

There has definitely been some mischief around here this weekend.

Weather mischief.

First, I saw my first cactus flower of the year.

I think that’s supposed to mean spring is here.

At least I guess so. We never did have winter this year.

Until this weekend, that is.

Because a little while after I saw this flower it snowed.

I don’t know what the weather’s up to.

No good, I think.

And these prickly pear cacti must have thought so too, because they decided to protect this lonely little flower.

And then my mischievous puddle finally decided to show up.

I was really happy to see it, but the way it’s been lately it’ll probably go off and hide somewhere again tomorrow.

It hasn’t been hanging around much lately.

***

But then my person had to add to the mischief.

She knows how much I don’t like waiting while she takes flower pictures.

So now she’s getting even worse.

She’s taking pictures of flowers before they even turn into flowers.

This is getting really serious.

All this mischief surrounding me.

I’m not sure what I’m going to do.

I think what I need is one of these.

I did spell that right, didn’t I?
