Who’s at the Door?

07 Aug

Bongo in front of the doorHey person, someone’s ringing the doorbell.

Hurry up. Open the door.

I’m sure it’s someone coming to visit me.

Someone who wants to give me loves and treats.

I’m drooling already, thinking about those treats I’m gonna get.

Hurry person!

Whoever it is won’t wait forever.

***

I must be famous!

I don’t even know the person at the door.

He must have heard about me from my blog and now he wants to meet me face to face.

Person, why aren’t you letting him in?

Why are you keeping me back from the door?

Are you jealous that he didn’t bring you treats? Because I’m sure he brought some for me.

Come on, let me through.

***

What?

He’s gone?

You let him go?

He saw that I was here didn’t he?

Why did you let him go before I got my treats?

I don’t get it.

You are jealous, aren’t you?

You didn’t want me getting any treats when you weren’t.

He’s what!?

He’s running for City Council and he stopped by to ask us to vote for him?

That’s pretty nervy of him.

I’m not voting for anybody who doesn’t bring me treats.

Rock n Roll

06 Aug

Bongo by a broken rockHere I am reporting from a dry wash in the middle of my trails.

What? I’ve got to explain myself?

Oh. Dry wash.

Well, it’s dry – most of the time.

That’s why they call it a dry wash.

But sometimes when there’s a lot of rain the water washes through.

That’s why they call it a wash.

So here I am in the middle of this dry wash and I see something strange.

***

A rock – a pretty big rock – broken in two.

Broken rock

It must have come rolling down the wash and hit this other rock hard.

But if this rock was tumbling down fast enough to hit that rock and break, then I don’t think the wash was dry.

There must have been water flowing through really fast.

Does that mean it was a wet wash?

I guess so.

But I’ve never heard anyone talk about a wet wash.

But there’s something else too.

A rock that hits hard enough to break would probably make a lot of noise.

Maybe a thunder-like noise.

And a dry wash turns into a wet wash when there’s a lot of rain.

And most of the time when there’s thunder there’s rain.

So maybe there’s no such thing as thunder.

It’s noisy rocks instead.

So now I’ve got a plan.

If I could get the City of Sedona to ban all rocks from being here and send them far away, then I’d be a happy dog.

I’m on my way to the Mayor’s office.

I’m sure he’ll think it’s a great idea.

***

Note from Bongo’s Person: If you’re not familiar with Sedona, it’s famous for its rocks.

The Bag

05 Aug

Bongo checking out a black bagMy trails have been full of strange things lately.

Yesterday it was that tarantula.

Today, I saw something hanging out next to my trails and I had to go over and investigate.

It turned out to be a big, black bag.

A shopping bag.

Now I’ve got a new mystery on my paws.

Where are the stores on my trails?

I mean, if you’re going to go shopping there has to be a store to go shopping at.

Do you think somebody knows something about my trails that I don’t know?

***

I’d better get on my Detective Dog hat.

Detective Dog

Who knows what kinds of stores I might find with a little investigation.

There might be treat stores.

Or toy stores.

I’d better dig further into this.

Maybe I’ll discover something if I check out this bag a little more thoroughly.

Notice I’m using some heavy duty detective words.

So what’s in this bag?

Mustard Seed Shopper bag

Mustard seed shopper?

You mean all you can use this bag for is to shop for mustard seeds?

What good are mustard seeds?

Oh yeah, isn’t there something about having faith like a mustard seed.

So maybe this bag is about having faith.

And I’ve got faith for sure.

I’ve got faith that I’m going to find those treat and toy stores.

I Don’t See It

04 Aug

Bongo looking for somethingPerson, I don’t know what you’re talking about.

I don’t see a thing.

.

Bongo looking the other way

Is it over there?

I think you’re making something up.

I don’t even smell anything interesting.

That’s got to mean you’re making it up.

Bongo with a tarantula on the ground near him

There is nothing that’s about to crawl on me – or bite me, or anything else.

You are hopeless, person.

Why do you make things like this up?

You probably can’t think of anything to put in my blog post so you’re making things up instead.

If you’d just take me on longer walks we’d have all kinds of adventures.

I’d have to do extra posts to get all the adventures in.

But no, you’ve got to make things up instead.

There’s nothing here.

Tarantula

Oh!

Stacked Up

02 Aug

Bongo looking back at a rock stack on the trailMost of my adventures happen in a day, or a walk, or maybe even in a minute.

But this adventure took a long time to unfold.

Almost a month.

Because every time I walked by this place something had changed.

For some reason people like to stack rocks on my trails.

Sometimes when I go for a walk I’ll find that a new stack has appeared.

And sometimes it’s gone again the next day.

.***

But one particular stack started out small.

Bongo in front of the rock stack

And then it grew.

And a few days later…

Bongo next to a stack of rocks

It grew again.

So I started getting excited to see what would happen each time I walked by.

How big would this stack get?

So the next time I walked by that way…

Bongo in front of a slightly shorter rock stack

Wait a minute.

There’s something wrong with this picture.

I’m not very good at counting, but aren’t there supposed to be more rocks on this stack, not less?

What to do with Cats

01 Aug

Scratchy on top of a cat cageSomething happened while I was at the dog hotel.

The cats I live with took over my blog.

Do you believe it?

Cats on my blog!

And they tried to keep it a secret.

But one of my blogging buddies spilled the beans.

So I had to do something.

And I did.

.

I sent Scratchy to the vet.

Scratchy hates the vet.

And they must not like him either.

When I go to the vet I get treats and loves.

Scratchy doesn’t get any treats or loves.

It was the perfect punishment for Scratchy.

But now I’ve got to figure out what to do about Gizmo.

Gizmo stretched out on the couch

He’s the chief instigator these days.

Bongo looking cute

I’m open for ideas.

Cat Blogging

25 Jul

Gizmo lying on his backIt’s been really quiet lately.

No Bongo around.

Peaceful, but kind of boring.

Scratchy and Gizmo together on the futon

Hey Scratchy, check this out.

Bongo’s blog.

There aren’t any posts on it.

We can do whatever we want and he won’t notice.

***

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Dddddopp,pppk;k;lll;kl;k;;;;ddddddddddddddddddd

Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwllllllllllllllllllllllllmmmmmmmmmm

Gizmo lying in front of the door

I think I’d better hang out by the door now.

I need some advance notice when Bongo comes back.

On Vacation

21 Jul

Bongo's profile

I’m on vacation – hanging out at the dog hotel for a few days.

They don’t allow dogs to have WIFI here.

I’m going to have to get my person to find me a place that has all the amenities (whatever those are).

See you soon.

Who’s the Boss?

19 Jul

Two little dogs on the trailThey bark at me every time I pass their yard.

Which is every day – because their yard is right by my trails.

I guess they’re trying to tell me who’s boss.

Okay fine.

I didn’t want to come in your yard anyway.

You can be the boss of your yard.

.

.

***

But today something different happened.

I found them on my trails.

My trails, mind you.

And they still tried to tell they were the boss.

But I gave them a little different perspective.

It’s kind of hard to tell somebody you’re the boss when they’re towering over you.

Bongo meeting Woogie and Lolo

Okay guys, I guess I’ll let you come on my trails.

Just remember who the boss is.
