I’m Famous

I’m really getting famous. People I’ve never met before know who I am. It would be kind of embarrassing if it wasn’t so much fun.

I was walking along my trails with my person and I was a little way ahead or her. We were coming up on an intersecting trail and a lady came jogging toward me.

Suddenly the lady said, “Bongo!” as if I was her long lost friend and started giving me loves.

Woo woo! This is so cool. Loves that I didn’t ask for from someone I’ve never met before.

Hey person, I bet that never happened to you.

What, person? What are you saying?

She knew me why?

No way.

My person says the other day when I ran off took a walk by myself this lady was on my trails with her dogs and my person asked her to keep an eye out for me.

My person says the lady was happy to see that I was found.

Hey person, I was never lost. I knew where I was the whole time.

And I don’t think that was the same lady. I’m sure the one who gave me loves has been reading my blog and recognized me from my pictures.

This morning I really thought the thunder season was upon me. It startled me out of my sleep. I woke up because some of the normal sounds in the house stopped. The fan that my younger person runs at night stopped running and he never gets up that time of the morning. The house was silent – except for a few unusual beeps that I don’t hear very often.

Then all of a sudden I heard a loud crack. I was convinced that thunder was on its way – ready to attack me at any minute.

I got up and tried to figure out how I would escape it if it made that sound again. By now it was beginning to smell too. An electrical kind of smell filled the air – way stronger than a regular thunderstorm. I really started getting worried.

Then the normal noises in our house returned – the loud crack didn’t come back – and the electric smell finally faded.

Whew!

My person said the loud crack sounded like a gunshot, but is also the sound a transformer makes sometimes when it blows.

Transformers? Aren’t transformers those robot things that change? Maybe it was a good thing that one of them blew up.

Tumbleweed Wash

27 Jun

What are these things in the wash on my trails? We haven’t had any rain in weeks. Nothing much is growing. Even the cacti aren’t very happy. Where did these green things come from?

They’re what, person? Tumbleweeds? What did they do, just tumble in here?

We must really be living in the Wild West if we’ve got tumbleweeds. These don’t look like tumbleweeds though.

You mean they’re gonna get way bigger than this? And when they’re big enough they’ll go tumbling off when the wind blows?

Sometimes they what? They blow across the highway on windy days? You’ve even driven into big tumbleweeds that were blowing across the highway?

Stupid tumbleweeds. Why would they cross the road when a car’s coming? Shouldn’t they wait for the light to change.

I think I’d better train these tumbleweeds right while they’re still little.

Now little tumbleweeds, remember to look both ways before you cross the wash.

Litter Bugs

26 Jun

I am so upset. My trails are usually kept really clean, but the other day I found that stuff left by the crack creatures – and now this. And there aren’t even any cracks around this part of my trails.

So who can be leaving this stuff?

They’re obviously friends of the crack creatures – or – maybe they’re not.

Maybe they’re having a littering duel. To see who can litter the most.

This is terrible! This means I could be finding more litter on my trails. I’m going to have to do something about this.

I know! I’ll get one of those litter bugs. Or maybe a whole army of litter bugs. They get rid of litter, don’t they?

They could go wandering along my trails and eat all the litter they find. The way things are going lately they would find plenty to eat.

There’s just one thing I still have to figure out.

Once the crack creatures and those other guys run out of litter to leave on my trails – what do I do with the litter bugs?

Color the Sky

25 Jun

I was walking along my trails today minding my own business when I looked up in the sky and saw something strange. White things.

I’ve seen those white things in the sky before, but it’s been a long time. I was beginning to think that the only color the sky came in was blue.

Oh yeah, clouds. That’s what those white things are called. I’d almost forgotten.

Oh, no! Those clouds remind me of something else that starts coming this time of year. Something I don’t like at all. Thunder!

Hey person, let’s get home. I don’t want to find any thunder out here. Some of my friends who live other places are already getting thunder. Yikes!

What? There’s no thunder in those clouds? How do you know, person?

They might not look like thunder clouds. But I don’t want to take any chances. Have you got any blue crayons, person?

Dancing Dog Party

23 Jun

Yesterday I was really bummed because it was National Dog Party Day and I didn’t get to have a party – or even go to one.

All I got to do was hang out around the house with my person, and she was on her computer all day. Then both my people even left me for awhile. It was Take Your Dog to Work Day and they left me home alone. With a cat!

Finally, they came home and my person decided I could take her for a walk.

We walked along my trails and didn’t see anybody. Then we arrived at my turning around point and there she was. LeighLa. One of my girlfriends.

Maybe it was only a little dog party, but any dog party is better than no dog party.

I got to dance with LeighLa.

And we danced.

And we danced some more.

I think I wore her out because she couldn’t keep up with me on our way back down the trails.

I’ll catch up with her next time. I see some more dogs to party with. Woo woo!

Dog Party Day

22 Jun

Woo woo! I just found out today is a Double Dog Day Celebration. Not only is it National Take Your Dog to Work Day today, it is also National Dog Party Day.

This is too cool. I’m getting ready to party!

Hey person, did all the invites to all my dog friends get sent out in the mail?

Did you buy all the party hats and dog treats?

Oh, and I saw a video of a fire hydrant piñata full of dog treats and toys for all the dogs at the party. Make sure you get one of those for us.

I think some cake and ice cream would be good too. After all, this is a party.

We’re going to have so much fun at my party. We can play Frisbee and catch. Hey person, can you get a pool too so we have water to splash in?

I can’t wait till all my dog friends get here. What time is it, person? When are all my friends coming?

What, no party!??? Why not?

There’s no party in Sedona, or even Arizona? There’s only parties in San Diego, Miami, and New York? That’s not fair.

Hey wait a minute. I have dog blogging friends in all those cities. Maybe they’ll invite me to their parties.

Take Your Dog to Work Day

21 Jun

Woo woo! Tomorrow is June 22^nd and you know what day that is? It’s National Take Your Dog to Work Day. But I think that should be changed to International Take Your Dog to Work Day because some of my dog friends live in other countries.

So person, are you going to take me to work with you? Huh, huh, huh? I’m all ready to be taken to work. I could even help you.

Where are you going to take me? We could go hang out at the church where you work. Maybe I could play with some of those kids you teach Sunday school to.

Or that place where you meet to lead your Bible study. What is that place? That place with all the stars and the bucks? Are those the dollar kind of bucks or the deer kind of bucks? Could you take me there so I can find out? Maybe I could get rich there – or at least have something to chase around while you’re studying all those Bibles under the stars.

Wait a minute! What!?? You’re taking me to work but I don’t get to go anywhere? I don’t get it.

You’re working at home tomorrow? That’s no fair.

Can you take the day off so we can go somewhere?

Creatures in Cracks

20 Jun

Check this out. I found some really strange things on my trails. A plastic bag thingy and a metal box. And both of them are close to cracks in the rocks.

You know what that means. It means there are creatures that live deep down in those cracks, and they’re cleaning house. They’re moving stuff out that they don’t want any more.

Someone needs to tell those crack creatures about littering. Just because they don’t want something in their house doesn’t mean they have to leave it cluttering up my trails.

After all, what if all the creatures who live in cracks around here started cleaning house at the same time. Can you imagine what a mess that would be? Plastic bag thingies and metal boxes all over the place. They might even start throwing out dust bunnies and single socks. That could make a big mess on my trails.

I wonder how far down in the cracks those creatures live. I’d better see if I can get to them and give them what for.

Then I’m going to make them take all their stuff back and put it in garbage cans so the crack creature garbage truck can stop by to pick it up.

Broke My Leash

19 Jun

What do you mean I don’t get to go for a walk? You and my younger person left me home alone all day and now I don’t even get a walk?

What does that matter? Just because I broke my leash when I ran off yesterday and got it tangled around a bush I don’t get to go for a walk? You don’t need a leash, person. I can take you for a walk without a leash.

Why didn’t you get me a new leash then? My younger person got all those big metal things and little metal things today. You could have at least gotten me a leash too.

They don’t sell leashes at the metal thingy store? I thought they had stores that sold everything.

Well, tomorrow you’d better go to the leash store person, because if you don’t bring home a leash that works I’m definitely not taking you for a walk.
