Kitchen Invasion

17 Jan

I didn’t notice it at first.

I thought everything was okay.

But then, when I saw this picture of me I found something extra in it.

Something that’s not supposed to be there.

And it for sure isn’t me.

And it isn’t my ball either.

This is serious.

Something’s invaded my kitchen!

I thought maybe I’d better look around, you know, get on my Detective Dog hat and investigate.

But my person wanted to take another picture.

Yikes!

Do you see them?

There are more of whatever those things are invading my kitchen.

What if they eat all the crumbs that fall on the floor?

Those are my crumbs!

It’s my job to eat them.

Person, you’d better do something about these little black things all over my kitchen.

Get them out of here!

This is a serious invasion, and besides them eating all my crumbs on the floor I think I’m going to have nightmares about them taking over.

They’re everywhere!

New Tags

16 Jan

What’s this?

There’s some kind of label on my trail cairn.

It’s never been here before.

I wonder what it’s supposed to do.

Maybe each trail cairn is going to get its own special tag.

Then when someone gives directions on my trails they don’t have to say, “Follow the cairns to the end of the trail.”

They could say, “Go past the red tagged cairn and turn left at the blue tagged cairn.”

That would make it so much easier to give directions.

Unless you forgot which tags were on which cairns.

If you told someone the wrong thing they might get really lost. They might end up at the trail that ends in a big hole instead of at the trail where they could climb a mountain like they really wanted to do.

Whoever put that tag on there needs to come up with something better.

But how am I going to tell them? I don’t even know who put that tag there.

Maybe if I sniff around I can find some clues.

I don’t know.

There’s been so many messages left here (including some of my old ones) that I don’t know if I’ll ever sort it all out.

Wait. What’s this?

This tag has another side.

The other side is a necklace.

And it says, “PASS IT ON!”

I’ve got it now.

This tag wasn’t left here to label the cairn – this necklace was left here for me.

So I could pass it on to the next one of my girlfriends that I see.

I wonder who my lucky girlfriend will be.

New Trail

15 Jan

As I walked along on my trails I saw something unusual.

New trail markers – one on each side of a trail.

Where there had been no trail the day before.

Strange. I didn’t know trails could just pop up like that.

Well, if there’s a new trail I guess I’d better explore it.

So I went between the markers and started to wander down the trail.

It was such a new trail that I thought it was going to fizzle out.

It almost did – but it didn’t.

And you know where that trail took me.

Right to that place where I found those aliens the other day.

The ones that had turned to stone. I posted about it here.

But something had happened. The aliens were gone.

This is really serious because I thought I was safe.

I thought that since those aliens had turned to stone they were stuck and couldn’t go anywhere.

Now I don’t know where they are. They could pop out at any minute and I have no idea if they are friendly aliens or not.

Aliens could be lurking anywhere on my trails – ready to jump out and get me.

I don’t know what to do, but I might need your help.

Those aliens look like piles of stones, so if you see anything suspicious could you let me know?

I don’t want to be caught unawares.

National Dress Up Your Pet Day

14 Jan

Today is a really special holiday. At least I think it’s a special holiday.

It’s National Dress Up Your Pet Day.

I got all excited until I realized – I don’t have any pets.

So I did the next best thing.

I decided that Scratchy would be my pet for the day.

That way I could dress him up any way I wanted.

But then I had another problem.

My people are way bigger than Scratchy.

How am I ever going to find something to dress him in?

Then I had an idea.

My younger person doesn’t clean out his closet very often.

So I snuck in there – don’t you dare tell him – I would get in real trouble – I’m not supposed to even be in his room. I don’t know why he has a problem with my hair.

He has hair.

So anyway, I went through his closet and I found it.

A very small shirt that he had decorated when he was little.

And I put it on Scratchy.

Scratchy started to step right out of that shirt.

And the decorations didn’t even show.

So I decorated him with a bow.

And then you know what Scratchy did?

I’m telling too.

Because he went right into my younger person’s closet.

And then he dressed me up as a Cub Scout.

I couldn’t stop him. He threatened me with his claws.

Cracking Question

13 Jan

I headed down my trails when I noticed something terrible had happened.

Something disastrous.

I’m not sure what it was, but it must have been very disturbing.

Something so distressing that even the rocks were upset.

I tried to ask them what had happened but they couldn’t answer me.

You see, they had cracked.

Poor rocks.

I wonder if there’s a looney bin for rocks.

They need some special care.

I found one more rock to ask, but I’m not sure what was going on with this rock.

My question was totally serious – yes, I can be serious when I want to – but for some reason this rock thought I was being funny.

Or maybe it thought that I’m funny.

I hope it didn’t think I’m funny looking.

But anyway, when I tried to ask this rock what happened…

it cracked up.

Children and Loves

12 Jan

I’ve been eating humble pie since last week’s Bible story so I can get extra treats. And I still don’t have any.

And humble pie doesn’t taste very good.

Maybe if I can figure out a way to get to the top of the refrigerator I can pull all the treats down – and eat them.

What!? You’re going to tell me a story where Jesus rebuked his disciples?

And he’s going to rebuke me too if I do what I just said?

Do I get extra treats if He rebukes me?

Okay, I’ll listen.

***

People were bringing little children to Jesus to have Him place His hands on them and pray for them, but the disciples rebuked the people who brought them.

***

Did the disciples give all those people treats?

What do you mean, rebuke doesn’t mean giving out treats? What else could it mean?

***

When Jesus saw this, He was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”

***

Is it alright if I hinder those little children so I can get some loves?

I am listening.

***

Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

***

I can act as childish as you want.

What do you mean, sit and listen?

***

Jesus took the children in His arms, put His hands on them, and blessed them.

***

Alright! Jesus gives out loves.

I’m standing in line.

Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friends Day

11 Jan

Do you know what today is?

It’s one of my favorite days.

Well, it’s going to be one of my favorite days. I didn’t know about this holiday last year.

Today is Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friends Day.

I was really looking forward to splashing…

Or maybe even swimming and splashing.

As long as I could get my people all wet.

But here’s what happened.

I went to my favorite puddle…

And it was gone!

Without my puddle how could I celebrate this special holiday?

So I talked my people into taking me on a new trail.

One that I’ve never been on before.

And I heard that it ended up at a creek.

So we wandered around and up and down and finally we ended up…

At the top of the world!

I sat there with my younger person…

And it didn’t seem like he was going to move.

I’ve got to figure something out – because now I know where the puddle is.

And I’m going to find a way to get there.

Over there looks like a good place to start.

Yup, this way’s going to get me there.

Hey guys, this is the right way. Come on down here!

What do you mean, I’ve got to climb back up?

You’re missing the whole point.

I haven’t splashed in a puddle yet.

When are my people ever going to learn?

Not My Adventure

10 Jan

I headed up my trails as usual, minding my own business.

I’m always looking for some kind of adventure, but this time I found somebody else having an adventure.

I got really concerned because this person was way up high on Sugarloaf, the large, round, red rock hill next to my trails.

This person stood on a ledge and it looked like she was going to step off – right down a straight cliff.

If that person doesn’t have super sticky shoes and fingers she is going to fall right down to the bottom.

And then she did step off.

But she didn’t fall.

She kind of hung there, right in the middle of the cliff.

What kind of a trick is this? Can she fly?

Maybe she has super Jedi powers and she’s going to pop right back up to the ledge.

But none of that happened.

She didn’t fly, and she didn’t pop.

She slid.

Right down to the bottom.

Safely.

Oh wait a minute. I see it now.

She cheated.

There’s a rope hanging there.

Hey, that looks like fun.

Maybe if I drag my person up to that ledge she’ll let me slide down the rope.

Missing Person

09 Jan

Yesterday my investigation was a bust.

I guess even Detective Dog can’t be perfect all the time.

But today I have another investigation.

I’m sure I’ll get to the bottom of this one.

You see, there is a personless dog that sometimes runs around my neighborhood.

All the dogs in my neighborhood have people that they take on walks with them, except this poor dog.

I really have to admire this dog though.

I mean, how many dogs would go on walks if it wasn’t for needing to give their people exercise?

Giving your people their exercise is such a good motivator, but this dog goes on walks by himself.

He even does some jogging.

But where are this dog’s people? Why aren’t they letting him take them on walks?

That’s what I need to investigate.

I almost had an answer right from the dog’s mouth.

I saw him a ways off on my trails and then he started following me home.

I was all ready to befriend him. He really looks like he could use some friends.

But my person totally blew it for me.

Because every time she walks toward this dog he runs in the opposite direction.

My person is not doing a very good job.

I think I may have to fire her and hire myself a new assistant.

I bet this dog needs a job.

Rock Fruit

08 Jan

This is strange.

I’ve never seen rock fruit before.

I thought these trees just grew little berries.

But how else could these rocks have gotten here?

Maybe a really big storm could blow rocks into trees.

But we haven’t had any storms like that lately.

I guess I should investigate.

Time for my Detective Dog hat.

My first investigation will be how to reach those rocks so I can check them out.

I’ve got to see if they’re really some kind of fruit that looks like rocks – or if they’re really just rocks like they look like.

Maybe I can find a big rock to stand on – or some branches.

Oh, wait. This is too hard.

Do I really care what those rocks are doing?

I think I’ll do something else instead.

I’m going to give you something to investigate.

So here it is.

Here’s your investigation.

Find me in this picture.

Where’s Bongo?
