Time to Move

29 Aug

I am so excited!

Just when I was losing confidence in all those builders, some of them are coming through.

You probably don’t know what I’m talking about, do you?

Or even what I’m looking at.

Maybe if I get a little closer you’ll be able to see what I’m looking at.

No, not the rocks back there.

Look again.

I guess I’ve got to explain it to you.

Well a couple weeks ago I was exploring my trails and I found a house that somebody was building for me.

And then a couple days later I found another house being built for me.

There was just one thing wrong.

Neither house had a roof.

This is the rainy season here. I mean, what good is a house without a roof in the rain.

My girlfriends wouldn’t want to come to either of my houses if it meant they would end up wet.

But look! One of my new houses has a roof on it now.

I’d better gather up all my friends.

My new house is waiting for me to move in.

Bible Study Buddy

28 Aug

What do you mean, this might be the last time I get to hang out with my Bible study buddy for awhile?

You know how much I like going to church. Why wouldn’t I get to go?

How am I going to keep up with my Bible stories if I don’t get to go to Bible study?

You know I’m the perfect dog when I’m there.

I don’t do anything like…

trying to steal chocolates out of my friend’s pocket.

And you know I would never…

try to be the center of attention.

No, all I do is lie there quietly and listen to what’s going on.

How come you didn’t get any pictures of me doing that?

You had plenty of opportunity.

So why don’t I get to go again?

What? Thunder season is almost over?

It is?

Yippee! Woo woo!

Wait a minute. You mean I got special privileges just because of the thunder?

Umm. Maybe you could tell the thunder to stick around longer.

Or then again – maybe not.

Now I’m all confused.

Can I just have special privileges without the thunder?

You know all my Bible study buddies are waiting to see me again.

Blocked Trail

27 Aug

What is going on here?

Somebody is trying to put a roadblock across my trails.

I hope they understand that these are my trails and nobody is allowed to block them up.

What is this thing, anyway?

Oh, now I see.

What we have here is a mischievous century plant.

A century plant that decided to lay down on the job.

Well, century plant – I don’t care if you do want to drop your seed pods all in one spot.

And I don’t care if you’re tired of standing and want to lie down.

Don’t do it across my trails!

There’s plenty of room if you just lie down heading the other way – and you won’t be blocking anybody’s path.

This century plant is so stubborn. It’s not listening to me at all.

What am I going to do?

I guess going under this thing will work as well as anything.

National Dog Day

26 Aug

Today is National Dog Day. But since some of my friends live in different countries, it’s also called International Dog Day. That should take care of everybody.

Since this is a special holiday for me and all my dog buddies I think we ought to celebrate.

I’ve been thinking all week of what I’m going to do for National Dog Day.

First, I’m going to banish all the thunder for the day. I might need God’s help for that, but I’m sure He’ll understand. After all, I don’t think He’d want me to be frightened on my special day.

Then, I’m going to go for a long walk – and I’ll find that my puddle has grown so big that I can go swimming in it.

Then, when I get back home I’m going to eat lots of treats.

I might even eat some ice cream.

By then, I’m sure I’ll be so tired that I’ll be ready for a nice, long nap.

And you know what I’m going to do while I’m taking that nap?

I’ll be dreaming about what I’m going to do for National Dog Day next year.

Maybe I’ll adopt a puppy.

What’s a Deer?

24 Aug

What’s a deer?

My person and I met someone coming off my trails, and she said she’d seen a deer.

I’ve never ever seen a deer. Never in my life.

Deer don’t hang out on my trails.

If they did I’m sure I would have found one.

So what was that deer doing here?

I’ve got to go find that deer.

But how would I recognize it if I saw it?

Maybe by the smell – because it would be the only new smell on my trails.

So let’s go person. That deer’s got to be around here somewhere.

***

I looked all over for that deer.

I pawed the ground and everything, but nothing would bring that deer around.

And then you know what happened?

My person and my younger person left the house and drove away.

Without me, mind you.

It was dark when they came back home, and you know what they told me?

They drove right by that deer. It was right by the side of the road.

And I’ve still never seen a deer.

But from what I’ve heard about what a deer looks like…

I imagine it might look kind of like this.

Pick up the Ball

23 Aug

My little buddy came over today!

I was so excited when I saw him. He hasn’t been over here in a very long time.

Time to play ball!

My little buddy tossed the ball to me and I slobbered it up and brought it back.

And he tossed it again.

What fun! I could do this all day.

Wait! What are you doing?

You don’t need to get my younger person’s legos out of the garage?

Aren’t I more fun to play with than legos?

Pick up the ball. Pick up the ball.

Forget about those legos. Come on, the ball’s right there.

What are you doing now?

Stop looking at the camera. Can’t you see the ball?

It’s right here next to you.

No, don’t look at me. The ball, the ball.

Well yeah, I like loves but I want the ball.

All I want to do is catch the ball.

Pleeeease?

I don’t know what it is with people these days.

All I wanted was a little game of catch.

Those legos aren’t even good for chewing on and slobbering up.

I’m not sure what my little buddy sees in those things, but…

I give up.

Julie

21 Aug

Woo woo! I’ve got a new girlfriend. Her name is Julie and she loves to play with me.

Julie makes me feel like a puppy again.

Oh. Oops. Just a minute.

Collies, if you’re reading this can you distract Ginger so she doesn’t see this?

Maybe you can get a new hammock for Ginger your dad or something.

Whew! That’s taken care of. I wouldn’t want to upset Ginger.

Now where was I?

Oh yeah.

Julie has come up to me two different times on my trails and wants me to chase her.

I’m still trying to convince my person that she’ll be fine if she lets go of my leash for awhile, but I guess she still needs to hold on. Some kind of insecurity or something.

But Julie is cool. She didn’t go farther than my leash could reach.

And then – this is so romantic.

We stood near each other sniffing little patches of ground.

And before I knew it…

we were sniffing the same piece of ground.

I can’t wait to go out on my trails again tomorrow.

But this time I need to come up with a plan to ditch my person.

Maybe I’ll give her two leashes – so when I take off after Julie she still has one to hold on to.

One to Many Walks

20 Aug

No, person. I am not leaving the house!

There’s thunder out there.

Besides, I already had my walk today.

I don’t care if you didn’t.

You could have gone on your own walk. You left me for long enough.

It’s a good thing you left the front door open so I could escape.

And it’s a good thing my younger person stayed asleep in bed so he didn’t see me escape.

You want me to tell them the rest of the story?

I don’t want to. It’s too awful.

Oh, I thought you meant the thunder part.

Well, it all started a few days ago when our neighbor saw the devil cat in his yard.

Apparently that devil cat bobcat has been lurking around because today when my person left the house she found a dead cat in our driveway.

And our neighbor found another one in his yard.

My person was so upset she didn’t close the front door when she left.

So now comes the really bad part.

What do you mean, that was the really bad part?

Like I said, the really bad part is coming.

Because it started thundering. And my person was gone. And my younger person was asleep with his door shut.

But I found the open front door and I was off down the street.

I met a really nice neighbor that I didn’t know before.

At least I thought he was nice. Until he called my person and ratted on me.

And then he took me back home and made me go in the house.

He could have at least stopped the thunder first.

So person, I don’t care what you say.

I am not going on another walk today.

Pulling Mischief

19 Aug

My younger person has been home for the last few days and he let me take him for a walk.

I got really excited because I don’t get to go on walks with him very often.

But we got out a little ways on my trails and I sensed something.

There’s a storm brewing somewhere.

You see it?

Oh. Well, maybe not in that direction.

It must be over here.

I know there’s a storm somewhere.

Maybe we just can’t see it yet.

I decided we shouldn’t go any further.

And you know what my younger person did?

He pulled mischief on me and started dragging me along.

Do you believe it?

I guess walking is better than getting dragged.

So I walked for awhile.

But then I’d had it.

I know that storm is somewhere around here.

I’m not taking a chance.

I’m not going any further.

Seriously. I mean it.

Two can play at this game.

So who’s the best mischief maker now?
