Globe Mallow

I’m stuck at the dog hotel and I take no responsibility for what’s posted here.

My person went off to Colorado and I’m stuck in the dog hotel. I wasn’t allowed to bring the computer with me so I take no responsibility for what is posted on my blog.

Lately my person has been making me hang out and wait a lot while she gets her camera out to take pictures. It’s flower season again on my trails but the globe mallow usually hangs out all summer long.

For some reason these flowers just started coming out this year. A couple of them tried to make it early in the summer but they fizzled out. It was really hot and dry before that dreaded thunder season started.

These flowers grow on bushes and when they have all summer to grow the bushes sometimes get really big.

But I think my person is spending far too much time with her camera.

Time to go.

The Missing Piece

29 Sep

Hey person, check this out. This is a real puzzle for sure. Somebody forgot to put the last piece in the puzzle. I’d better put my Detective Dog hat on and find out where that missing piece is.

Do you see it anywhere? Nope, not over here. I’d better check somewhere else.

Check this out, person. I think I’ve found it.

Do you think this is it?

Do you think it will fit in this spot?

Hey, wait a minute! Why would someone forget to put the last piece in when they had it right here? And I thought I was doing so well. I found the missing piece, but now I have a whole new mystery.

I wonder who put this puzzle together anyway.

The Perfect Weed

28 Sep

Check this out. The weed of weeds! And I found it right on my trails. I’ve been dreaming of a weed like this. I could spend hours of munching pleasure chomping down on this weed.

Look at it. Those luscious, shiny, beautiful blades of grass. And for dessert there are even some tiny weed seeds.

I’ve never seen a weed like this before. I don’t know where it came from, but I’m sure it was placed here just for me.

Now comes the challenge.

My person is standing right next to me and she likes to pull on my leash when I start chomping weeds. I’ve got to find something to distract her.

Maybe some cute little flowers that she can take pictures of.

Hey person! Over here! Check these out. You’d better get out your camera.

Whew! Lucky break. Those flowers weren’t easy to find.

Now to chow down!

***

Oh yuck! Ptooey! Gross! This weed tastes terrible!

Hey person, put your camera away so we can go. I think I see some of my regular weeds over here.

The Heart Man

27 Sep

My person and I met this man on my trails and he stopped and gave me loves. Some people give me loves, but most of them just walk by. Sometimes they say something to me, but a lot of them ignore me. It’s really disappointing, but that makes it special when I do get loves.

This man talked to my person for a couple minutes – general stuff like how nice a day it was. Well of course it was a nice day. Anytime I get loves it’s a nice day.

We were about to go on when the man reached into his pocket and handed something to my person.

And then I realized who he was.

The Heart Man!

We don’t see him often. We’ve only seen him twice before. But whenever we see him he gives my person a little red rock shaped like a heart.

I think it’s pretty cool that he does that – and especially cool that he gives me loves. But I think there’s one more thing he needs to do.

I wonder if he could get some heart shaped treats to hand out to dogs.

Little Yellow Flowers

26 Sep

This time of year everything seems to turn yellow. Well, I don’t mean everything. I don’t turn yellow, and neither does my person. And the rocks around here don’t turn yellow. But there are bushes everywhere with little yellow flowers on them.

There’s so many that I have to sort through them just to get to the good weeds.

And I have to sit around while my person takes out her camera to take pictures of them.

I thought this time of year was going to be so good. No more thunder and no more heat. Who would have thought that little yellow flowers would be my downfall? I think I’ll bury my person’s camera under a log.

Party Time

25 Sep

Last night there was a party. Actually, I think there were two parties. And I wasn’t invited to either one.

One of the parties was right on my street. They even went past my house. I don’t know why they didn’t think to stop and invite me. It was totally rude of them.

The party on my street was a javelina party. And this morning it looked like they had a really fun time.

Last night my person and a bunch of the neighbors put their garbage cans out on the street. They do this about once a week and I still haven’t figured out why. I think they’re just asking for trouble.

Well, they got trouble and this morning they were all out picking up their garbage cans and filling them up again. Except they didn’t get filled up quite as much this time. The javelina probably picked through the garbage to find party hats and favors. I don’t think they have a javelina party supply store.

But there was a second party. My person and I found evidence of it on my trails. My person picked up that party can and brought it home with her. I guess she thinks the javelina need more party supplies.

I don’t think my person gets it. Javelina aren’t going to want any people party supplies. She might as well put that can right in the garbage.

In the Middle of Things

24 Sep

All summer during the thunderstorms I had one sleeping spot. In the hallway, the farthest place in the house from the storms.

But now that the thunder is over I’m changing my sleeping patterns. No more blocking the hallway for me. I’m tired of getting stumbled on and tripped over.

I’m checking out the living room. Where all the action is. That way if something really good happens at my house I won’t miss it.

Or maybe I’ll try out the nice, cool tiles on the kitchen floor. There’s a lot of food action going on there and I’ll be right in the middle of it.

I know one thing for sure though. When I’m sleeping in the hallway my person gets away with all kinds of things, but now I can catch her at everything. She can’t even get her camera out without me knowing about it.

There’s no way my person is going to get a picture of me asleep.

She’s Home!

22 Sep

Boy was my person gone a long time today, so when she finally got home I was really excited to see her. I was excited because I would finally get my dinner.

She must have realized she’d forgotten to leave my bag of food out for me because the first thing she did was fill my dish. Oh, and Scratchy’s too. I’m not sure why he needed to be fed. He never even eats everything my person gives him and I have to finish it off for him.

I didn’t bother to tell my person that a friend had stopped by and let me out awhile ago. I let her think that I seriously needed to go out. She thinks I was overly excited when she said the word “outside” and I ran into a table. I did that on purpose. I just wanted her to think it was an accident.

After I came back in I needed to go out again. But I got distracted eating all the weeds – I mean, I was doing my person a favor by helping her get rid of the weeds in the yard – and my person made me go back in the house. Which meant I needed to go out again – to take care of business. And get rid of more weeds. I had to keep on my person before I could convince her that I really did need to go out.

I think I’d better stop helping my person with the yard work though. She might think I like yard work better than taking her on walks. And the weeds on my trails taste better.

Wandering Puddle

21 Sep

Since the thunder left I’ve really been enjoying taking my person for walks on my trails. Every day has been sunny, and the air feels just right. But there’s one problem.

My puddle left. Again.

I don’t know where it goes, but it’s always going somewhere. This time I think I’m going to look around and see if I can find it.

***

Look what I found! I’m in luck! My puddle – it moved over here.

There’s something wrong with it though. I ran out of puddle too soon. This can’t be all of it.

This is really strange. How can half my puddle disappear and the other half stay. I don’t know what I’m going to do now. I think I’m dealing with a split personality puddle. It’s got to be very confused. How would I feel if half of me went missing?

I don’t think my puddle should be here at all. Maybe if I make it leave it will find its other half and go back where it belongs.

Take that, you wayward puddle. Time to go home.

Do Not Cross

20 Sep

What’s this thing here?

It’s what?

It’s “Do not Cross” tape?

I never heard of that. You’re making it up, person. Since when am I not supposed to go somewhere on my trails?

I know we never go here, but today this is where I want to go.

I know that “Do not Cross” tape is in the way. But look, it’s not very long. I can take you around it. Come on, let’s go.

Who hangs out up there?

The coyotes? Well of course they do. I’m tracking them now. That’s why I want to go this way. Come on, let’s go!

Person, you are taking this “Do not Cross” tape thing far too seriously. If you don’t want to go then let go of my leash so I can go. I’m sure you can find your way home on your own.

Okay fine. I’ll go back with you. I certainly wouldn’t want you to get lost. Without you I’d have no way of getting my food out of the garage.

Tomorrow I’m hanging that “Do not Cross” tape somewhere else.
