Who’s the Boss?

I hope none of my blogging friends who are little dogs get offended by this, but today I was minding my business on my trails when a little dog walked by. And you know what that little dog did? That dog barked and barked at me as if he was the boss and he could take me on.

Well, I finished putting my scent on a bush and then I decided I was going to show that little dog who was really the boss. After all, I could walk right over that dog and not even notice he was there – except for the barking, that is.

So I decided not to waste any time and headed for that little dog full speed. I didn’t make it. Boing! I hit the end of my leash. And all this time that little dog kept barking at me.

Okay person, I guess you’re the boss today – but your arm is going to be sore tomorrow.

Oh, and person, we need to have a talk about not humiliating me in front of little dogs. This could really spoil my reputation.

He’s Coming!

22 Apr

the Conversion of Saul on the road to Damascus as painted by Michelangelo. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

My person says that around the time that Jesus was crucified there was a person living in Jerusalem named Saul. Saul was a Pharisee and he believed that the people who followed Jesus were going against God.

Hey person, what’s a Pharisee? Is that something like a fairy with good eye sight?

A Pharisee was a what? A religious leader? Wasn’t Jesus a religious leader? How come Saul thought Jesus’ followers were going against God?

Most of the Pharisees didn’t think Jesus was the messiah? Then they didn’t have very good eye sight at all. Maybe they should change their name to the Phariblinds.

Okay person, I’m listening.

My person said that Saul stood by and approved the stoning of Stephen, one of Jesus’ disciples, and then he wanted to go after all of Jesus’ followers in Damascus.

I hope somebody warns those disciples that Saul is coming.

They what? They were warned, but they didn’t need to be? I don’t get it.

Jesus took care of everything? He did? Did he send dogs on ahead to bark a warning?

Okay, I’m listening. Really.

When Saul was on the road to Damascus a light from heaven flashed around him and a voice said, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

Saul asked who it was and Jesus said it was him. Then Jesus told Saul to get up and go into the city and he would be told what he must do.

Saul got up and when he opened his eyes he couldn’t see anything. See, I told you he was a Phariblind.

The men with him had to lead him by hand into Damascus and he didn’t eat or drink anything for three days.

Then the Lord came to a disciple named Ananias in a vision and told him to go where Saul was staying and restore his sight. Ananias knew who Saul was and why he had come to Damascus, so he protested.

I guess that dog must have barked his warning to Ananias.

I am listening, person.

The Lord told Ananias that Saul was his chosen instrument so Ananias went and restored his sight, and something like scales fell off Saul’s eyes.

Does that mean Saul wasn’t a Phariblind anymore?

The Lizards are Back

21 Apr

The lizards are back! Two of them went scurrying along my trails today. I hadn’t seen any since last summer.

I wonder where those lizards go in the winter. Some birds go away in the winter and others fly through here. Maybe the lizards follow the birds. I guess that might be kind of hard though. If there was a mountain they would have to climb all the way up it and then back down the other side. Those birds might get way ahead of them and then the lizards would be lost.

Maybe those lizards are scared of snow creatures so they hide in the winter. We didn’t have many snow creatures come out this winter though, so the lizards wouldn’t have had to hide as long as they did.

Once my person picked up a rock in the winter and found a lizard hiding under it. There weren’t any snow creatures around. It must have lost the birds it was following – or maybe it was hiding from me.

I won’t hurt you little lizard. You can come out and play.

I never seem to be able to catch those lizards anyway.

Bird Disturb

20 Apr

I was hanging out in the wash on my trails and I’d found some really good smells. I sniffed around and was really enjoying myself when out of the tree next to me came a big whoosh. A large bird went flying off.

That is pretty nervy of that bird to disturb my sniffing. After all, I was just really getting into it. And to make matters worse, my person got out her camera and drug me away from my smelly spot toward the tree that bird had landed in.

Not only had the bird disturbed me but my person had totally ruined my sniffing. I don’t even know why my person got out her camera. There’s no way she’s going to get close enough to get a good picture.

Hey bird! Shoo! Go fly away. Then I can go back to my sniffing.

I guess that bird decided it would side with me because it flew off again when we started getting close. Now I can get back to my sniffing.

Hey person, that’s the wrong way. My sniffing spot’s back that way. The way we came from before that bird flew off.

Next time I’m going to glue that bird’s feet to the tree.

Who Dumped the Dirt?

19 Apr

Hey person, someone dumped a pile of dirt on this cactus. Why would they do that? I’m going to have to get to the bottom of this.

Look, here’s another pile.

And they tried to pile up more dirt on this other plant. At least they missed that cute little cactus over there.

Oh, no. I think the culprit went down this hole. Now how will I find out who did it? If I try to dig whoever it is out, they might go down deeper, and anyway I would be spreading more dirt around.

I think I’ll just wait here and see who comes out.

Check it out person. I’ve found the guilty party. It must have taken this beetle a long time to pile up all this dirt.

Looking for Loves

18 Apr

Hey person, if I tell everybody they’re going to feel sorry for me. Then they might give me hugs and loves.

Okay, that settles it. I’m telling them.

My person took me to the vet today. It wasn’t my regular check up time but something was bothering me. I didn’t mind too much though, because I love going to the vet. I always get lots of loves and treats there.

Well, they did stick a stick up my rear end. I’m not sure why they did that and I didn’t like it very much.

Then they started poking around in my ear and that hurt a little. Well, one of my ears hurt when they did stuff to it. The other one was okay.

Then they gave me lots of loves and treats. Lots of treats. Then after dinner my person gave me more treats.

My person says I get extra treats for a few days and then I get to go back to the vet for more loves and treats.

Oh, I think I just messed up this story. I made it sound too good and nobody’s going to feel sorry for me.

Hey person, my ear hurts really bad. I think I need some more treats to make it feel better. And could you give me some extra loves too?

Who Left Me Flowers?

17 Apr

For me? I found a bouquet of flowers on my trails. Somebody must have known I was coming and left them here for me. Maybe it was my girlfriend Lucy. I haven’t seen her in awhile. I bet she misses me and wanted to leave these flowers for me.

What, person? You don’t think Lucy left these here? Of course she did. She loves me.

Well if Lucy didn’t leave these, then who?

Maybe it was my new friend Houdini thanking me for letting him come to my house until his person came for him. I bet that was it. I bet he escaped again and when he didn’t find me he decided to leave these flowers for me.

Or maybe it was my friends from New York who got lost on my trails. Maybe after they found New York again they came back to leave me these flowers for helping them find their way home.

You think I’m still wrong, person? Then who left these for me?

He did? These flowers are a special gift from God? Woo woo! Now I am really special. Hey person, what do you think I can leave on my trails for God?

Almost Snow

16 Apr

It snowed today, but I’m not sure what happened. Last time it snowed here I found all kinds of snow creatures. This time, nothing. I think there might be some in those rocks up there. Those rocks are a lot whiter than usual and snow creatures are white. So that might be them hiding up there.

I’m not sure why I saw snow coming down all day, but the ground is just wet. Shouldn’t it be white and slippery when it snows? I did find a few slushy weeds on my trails. They were extra good, but my person would only let me get a couple bites in before dragging me away.

Oh, wait a minute. Here’s something that wasn’t here before. Puddles and squishy mud! This is alright! Keep walking, person. I’ve got to see how much mud I can squish.

Oh, look! It’s back! My puddle came back! Puddle, where have you been? I’ve missed you so much. I didn’t know if I would ever see you again. I’m so glad you came back. Were you lost? Did the snow creatures take you away with them? Did they drop you off before they went up on those rocks? Puddle, it’s so good to see you again.

He Loves Me

14 Apr

He loves me – he loves me not. He loves me. I knew it!

Scratchy you really do love me, don’t you? Come on, admit it. You love me.

If you don’t love me Scratchy, then how come every time I go outside you’re waiting for me when I come back in.

Oh, maybe that isn’t it. You’re jealous, aren’t you Scratchy. You’re jealous because I get to go outside with my our person and you have to stay in the house.

I think our person likes me better. She takes me for walks and goes out in the back yard with me and she doesn’t do that with you.

You don’t have to what? Our person doesn’t make you what?

Well, I like the cold and rain. As long as I can go outside with my person.

Oh.

I guess she does make me go outside in thunder sometimes.

And I don’t get to what? Well, that’s because you sneak up there when our person is asleep.

She knows you’re on her bed? Okay Scratchy, you win. I guess our person loves you too.

But she still likes me best.

Who’s on My Trails?

13 Apr

Hey person, there’s stuff on this trail marker. It smells interesting. What is it?

It has people smell on it, but not somebody I know. What is this stuff?

It is? It’s somebody’s pants and shirt?

Oh, no. You know what that means? That means there’s somebody naked on my trails. Why would somebody want to be naked on my trails?

Watch out person. The naked person might be hiding in the bushes nearby. You’d better close your eyes. These bushes aren’t very thick. That person might be embarrassed to be seen.

Why would that person want to be naked anyway? I know it’s a nice, warm day. People don’t need clothes today to stay warm. Those clothes look pretty warm. Maybe that person got too warm and decided to go naked.

Or maybe a vicious dog was on that person’s track and that person had to distract the dog.

Yikes! That means there might be a naked person and a vicious dog on my trails. One of them could jump out at us at any time.

This is not good. I’ve got to protect you, person. Come on, I’m taking you home.
