Evening Glory

We have two main wildflower seasons here. In late spring and early summer the cactus bloom, and then in late summer and early fall other things bloom. So right now I have to drag my person along when she tries to stop and take pictures of all those flowers.

I got lucky with this morning glory plant. It’s called morning glory for a reason. Morning is when the flowers are open, and then they close up for the day. So whenever we walked by the plant the flowers were closed up and my person had nothing to take pictures of.

But something strange happened. We walked by and there was a flower in full bloom. I think somebody needs to straighten this plant out. Its name is not evening glory. Come on flower – close up quick. You’re not playing by the rules.

That flower didn’t listen any better than my person does sometimes. It stayed open showing of its full glory – its full evening glory.

What else can I do? Guess I’ll chew on a few weeds until my person puts her camera away. How’s that for glory?

Traveling on a Cell Phone

18 Sep

You see that picture there? That was taken when I was still a young pup – not too long after my people got me.

You see, shortly after my people got me my person got a new cell phone, and that’s where this picture came from.

But my person doesn’t have that cell phone any more. She got another new one, and she gave the old one away.

My person has a friend who was having cell phone issues. I’m not sure what that is, but it sounds like a dangerous disease to me.

Maybe my person used to be a doctor or something, because when she gave her old cell phone to her friend the cell phone issues went away.

And my picture went with it.

But my friend thought it was really cool to have my picture on her cell phone, so she left it there. And now she lives in a different state, so she still has a reminder of me.

Maybe I could get rich posing for pictures on people’s cell phones. Even if I only charged a few loves per picture, I bet I would get more loves than I would know what to do with.

A New Kind of Mischief

17 Sep

Check me out! Do I look different? Suave and debonair in my black and white?

All summer – at least since the beginning of July – I’ve had to wear my anxiety vest almost all the time. This has been the worst thunder season I can remember. My person has been around a lot longer than me and she says it’s the worst she can remember.

But it’s over! Yippee! Check out that blue sky. Not a cloud in it. And this picture was taken in the afternoon when most of the clouds build up.

I just have one problem now. Thunder season is when I get into the most mischief – at least when I’m left alone in the house.

I’m going to have to come up with a new kind of mischief. And I’ve got the perfect thing.

Since we’ve had so much rain there are lots of green juicy weeds on my trails.

My person doesn’t like waiting around while I stop to chomp. Actually, she doesn’t even like me to eat those weeds. She says I have plenty of food at home.

I don’t agree. The more food I can find the better.

So when my person tries to get me back on the trails, I’m digging in.

How’s that for mischief?

Finish it Faster

15 Sep

Hey everybody, this is Scratchy here – the cat that has to put up with Bongo.

Bongo is being a rebel this morning. He does this sometimes. He goes outside and he won’t come back in the house. Until my person puts food in his dish, that is. Then he comes scratching on the door and as soon as my person lets him in he runs straight for that food dish.

Well, I decided to get him today. He thinks he’s going to find food in his dish because he heard it going into his bowl. But there’s not going to be any.

Because I’m eating it all before he gets to it.

Oops, I don’t think I’m eating fast enough.

***

Scratchy! What are you doing? Get out of my food this instant!

I can’t believe this. It’s a conspiracy! My person actually let Scratchy eat my food. They’re ganging up on me.

That’s right Scratchy. You can take your place at the water dish.

If anyone is looking for a cat I’m taking offers. And I’ll even pay for the shipping.

Prickly Pear Delight

14 Sep

Hey person, what did you do with all those prickly pear fruits you had left over? I hope you made something good for me.

.

You made juice? I don’t want juice. I want something good to eat.

Pink juice!? I told you I didn’t want juice. I don’t want juice of any color. Now come on person – let’s get some treats here.

Ice cream!? You made ice cream? Now we’re talking. Is all that for me?

What? I only get a little dish? What are you going to do with all the rest?

What do you mean that isn’t for me? Where’s mine?

Mmmm! This is good! And I like this dish even better than that other dish. I don’t have to worry about breaking it.

I’m almost done with this. Can I have some more?

Hey, wait a minute! How come Scratchy gets some? He didn’t even help get the prickly pear fruit.

This is Not a Baking Blog

13 Sep

Hey person, what are you doing with those prickly pear fruits on my blog?

You’re what!? You’re making bread with them. Since when is this a cooking blog?

.

Person, this is going a little too far. I can see if you were making dog treats maybe. That could go on my blog. But prickly pear bread? Those prickly pear fruits don’t even smell appetizing.

Throw those prickly pears in the garbage and start making me some dog treats.

Wait a minute. What’s that pink stuff you’ve got there? Did Scratchy do that? Let me have a look.

You’re putting that in the oven? What about the dog treats?

***

Hey, that stuff is starting to smell good.

You mean I get to eat some of this?

Hey person, you’ve got some more prickly pear fruits left. What are you going to make next?

Finding Fruit

12 Sep

Today my person and I went on a different kind of walk. We went on the same trails and were out about the same amount of time, but we didn’t go very far.

I can’t complain though. I had fun.

My person brought along some tongs and a bag and said she was going to pick some prickly pear fruit.

.

You go right ahead, person. I think I smell something better over here.

It’s got to be here somewhere.

Maybe it’s over here.

Got it!

Look what I found in the bushes. I don’t even mind that I had to get stuck to do it.

I have to what, person?

I’m not dropping my bone until you drop your prickly pears.

They’re Everywhere!

11 Sep

This time of year vines start growing around here. I think they like all the rain we’ve had, because we seem to have more vines than usual.

.

They’re growing all over the cactus.

They climbed up my neighbor’s mailbox.

They’ve even been covering the rocks.

Hey person, let’s get moving. If you keep slowing down to take pictures of those vines they’re going to be crawling all over you.

It’s a good thing I’m an active dog. No vine would ever think of getting on me.

New Kind of Seed

10 Sep

I was checking out my mushroom patch – the place where mushrooms have been growing on my trails, to see if there were any new ones. No new mushrooms had appeared and the old ones were getting pretty dried up and shriveled.

But then I saw it – something new in my mushroom patch. I guess someone ran out of mushroom seeds and decided to plant another kind of seed instead.

Oh, you can’t see it in the picture?

I made my person crawl up under those trees to get a closer picture.

Does this help?

.

Come on person, you’ve got to get even closer.

I sure hope they planted lots of those sunglasses seeds because these look ripe for the picking and I wouldn’t want to take the only ones.

How do I look?

Let Me Play

08 Sep

Come on person, let go of my leash. Or at least let it out so I have a chance of yanking it out of your hand.

Person, I really want to go play.

You’re always getting your camera out and making me wait while you take pictures. Why aren’t you doing it now?

Person, that’s a real pretty dog over there. Take some pictures. And while you’re distracted with the camera I’ll go over and play. You can get pictures of both of us together.

Let go of my collar, person. What’s wrong with going over and playing for a few minutes?

Maybe if I get up on my back feet and dig in I can pull away from my person.

Hey person, where are we going? I want to play with that dog over there. We never go back this way. Let’s go back the usual way. That way I can play with that dog.

What do you mean you don’t want me to play with that dog? I don’t care what its name is. Dogs don’t pay attention to other dog’s names. They just play.

I don’t see anything wrong with that name. I think coyote is a nice name.
