Little Friend’s Visit

I was so excited waiting for my little friend to come over today. He hadn’t come here for a visit in a very long time. This was going to be a great play day.

Here he comes, person. Here he comes!

What? Wait a minute. He walked right past me and gave Scratchy loves.

Now he’s playing with my younger person and they’re totally ignoring me.

They even let Scratchy play with the train. Hey, what about me?

I got so upset I tore up my squeaky reindeer.

My little friend wouldn’t even share his food with me. And I sat so pretty for him.

Then we went out on my trails. My trails, mind you. I’d better not be ignored on my trails.

I’m in heaven now. My little friend gave me some loves on my trails.

Distractions

24 Feb

You see that mark there? On the stairs? You know what that is? That’s a sign of dog abuse. That’s what it is.

Here’s what happened.

Every morning when I get my person out of bed she makes me go outside before she’ll feed me. That’s bad enough right there. I think she should feed me first.

Sometimes when I go outside I get distracted by things, smells and stuff – like maybe Bubba, the cat from across the street snuck into my yard overnight – and I don’t head back into the house when my person thinks I should.

You know what she does? She goes back in the house without me and shuts the door in my face.

Okay person, I’ll change that if you insist. The door isn’t really shut in my face because I’m still out in the yard sniffing.

But then I hear it. The sound of my food bouncing into my bowl. And I come running, drooling as I go. Let me in, person!

You know what she does then? She takes her time and won’t let me in right away. She feeds Scratchy, she gets a drink of water, and finally she moseys on over to the door. In the meantime I’ve lost about a gallon of water – it’s dripping out of my mouth while I wait for food.

When she does let me in I race to my dish and gobble my breakfast. Okay, I’m feeling better now.

But if it happens again, I’m turning my person in.

In a Relationship

23 Feb

Hey person, I’ve got a new girlfriend and she’s really cute. Her name’s Lucy. Where’s that Facebook page you promised me? I need to put down that I’m in a relationship.

What? You don’t think I should put that relationship thing on Facebook? Of course I should. I can tell she really likes me.

What do you mean, she might just want to be friends? Of course she wants to be friends. She used to be kind of afraid to come near me, but now she plays with me when we see each other. And she’s really cute, person. Oh yeah, did I remember to tell you how cute she is?

Well yeah, I know you know what she looks like. I just want to make sure you know she’s cute. So what about that Facebook page?

Seriously!? I have a Facebook page now? Oh, I hope Lucy “Likes” me on Facebook. Oh no! Person what if she doesn’t “Like” me? That could be really bad. Maybe you’d better get rid of that Facebook page.

Did They Give You Loves?

22 Feb

Scratchy, what are you doing in there? Did you get to go to the vet today?

Did you have a good time?

You didn’t like it? Why not? Didn’t they give you treats?

No treats!? I got lots of treats at the vet. How come you didn’t get any treats?

Well, did they give you loves?

No loves either? I don’t get it. When I went to the vet I got lots of treats and loves.

You did what!!!? You attacked my our person?

They wrapped you in a towel and poked things into you?

Scratchy, they poked some things in me too, but the treats and loves made up for it.

Then they what? They picked you up with leather gloves and held you down?

You kicked and hissed and scratched and tried to give them what for?

Scratchy, I thought I was pretty tough – but I guess you’re the toughest.

I think I’m going to let you keep being the toughest – because, you know why. When you chase all those people away with your claws and your teeth and your toughness, they’re going to come to me with all the loves.

Just keep on being tough, Scratchy.

Where’s the Vandal?

21 Feb

This is wrong. This is totally wrong. Someone knocked down the trail marker. Now people are going to get lost on the trails. They’ll go the wrong way.

I’d better investigate. Maybe I can find some clues.

No unusual smells here.

This one here is still standing, but there’s something strange about it.

Look. A clue. What is it person?

A tent bag? You mean the guilty culprit camped out here?

This one’s still standing, but it’s starting to lean over.

Oh look! Another one down.

I think they went that a way.

Hey person. I think I found something. I’ve never seen tracks like this on my trails before.

I think this is it. Now I’ve just got to figure out what kind of creature has feet like this.

I know one thing for sure. If I find a creature that went the wrong way, has strange looking feet, and is hanging out inside a dome tent, he’s the guilty one for sure.

Who Stole the Cookies?

20 Feb

“Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar?”

Not me person. I didn’t do it.

“Then who?”

Person, I don’t know. Are you sure my younger person didn’t eat the rest of those cookies? You know how much he likes them.

He wouldn’t what?

__

Oh.

He might leave the lid on the carpet in the other room. You never know. Maybe he got all excited when he was eating those cookies and forgot what he was doing.

Well, if he didn’t do it, I don’t know who did.

Oh look. There he is. Right by the evidence. Scratchy did it. He’s right there checking it out. Proof that he did it.

What? Of course he did. That Scratchy is always up to no good.

Okay, let me check. I bet I can prove it to you.

Hmmm. I think I left a few crumbs in here.

It’s so Comfy

18 Feb

I’m not allowed on the couches around here and it’s totally not fair. My people get to sit on those nice comfy couches – they can even curl up on them if they want to, and wrap themselves in nice, toasty blankets. What makes it even worse is that Scratchy is allowed to get on the couch any time he wants. As a matter of fact, Scratchy is allowed on all the furniture – the couches, the chairs, and even the beds.

Scratchy is even allowed on the countertops. Well, at least the one where his food is. I don’t know why my people don’t feed him on the floor. They feed me there.

I’m totally relegated to the floors. The hard, cold floors.

Person, you don’t have to ruin my story. I know there’s carpet on the floors and I have a bed I can lay on. I’m trying to make everyone feel sorry for me.

Anyway, I’d like my turn on the couch too but I have to wait until my people leave the house to get my chance. When I hear a car in the driveway I quickly get up and head to the door to greet my people. That way they aren’t suspicious at all.

Today I blew it though. I don’t know what happened. I must have really been sleeping soundly. I didn’t hear a thing – and then, there she was. My person had come in the door.

Oops! — I’m in trouble now!

To the Vet

17 Feb

I got to go to the vet. Yeah I know, some of you who are my dog friends don’t like the vet and your people even have to spell it out. Believe me, I didn’t used to like going. The first time my person took me I even spit out the dog treat they gave me – and if you know me, dog treats are my favorite.

I think I didn’t like the vet then because they’d taken some things away from me. When my people first brought me home I had some missing parts.

But now I love the vet.

First, I get to go find lots of new smells. I always check to see if I recognize any smells from my trails. Sometimes I find the same ones.

Then, I get treats. I used to only get treats when I was ready to go back home, but today I got lots of treats.

I didn’t really like all those things they stuck in me, but after that I got more treats – and loves, so it was okay.

There’s a new vet working with my other vet and I got to meet her. I really like her. She gave me lots of loves – and that’s all she did – she kept giving me loves. I like her a lot.

What, person? She was examining me?

No, you’re wrong. She liked me so much that all she wanted to do was give me loves.

Unmarked Territory

16 Feb

Remember the other day when those guys were cutting down the branches? I wanted the chance to mark fresh, untouched branches but when we got there the guys weren’t working at all. They were taking a break.

Well, a couple days later my person and I were walking in that area again, and guess what? We found the branches. And there were logs, too. I thought for sure those guys would take all the branches away with them, but they didn’t. They saved them for me.

I could tell they were the same branches because I could smell the fresh cut wood fragrance. Even my person could smell it, and she doesn’t seem to be able to smell many things.

I checked for other dog’s marks and I didn’t smell any.

Yippee! Here goes! Unmarked territory all for me.

Please avert your eyes from the following picture. It’s kind of personal.

Where’s the Cute Girls?

15 Feb

I really hoped I could find some cute girls to get loves from for Valentine’s Day.

Person, you’ve got to take me somewhere. Anywhere – as long as I can find cute girls there who will give me loves. What would people think if I didn’t get any loves from cute girls for Valentine’s Day? It would spoil my reputation.

Well, guess what! My person took me out and we headed for my trails. As we were about to enter the parking lot a blue Subaru pulled in ahead of us. We walked past the car just as people got out of it – and I was so surprised! One of the people from the car is my friend – a friend that I’ve never seen on my trails before. And not just any friend mind you – this person is the cute girl kind of friend.

But it gets even better because my friend had a friend with her and she is also in the cute girl category. My trails really are heaven. Not only do I get to go on walks and smell all the smells, but I got loves from two cute girls at the same time.

Perfect for Valentine’s Day! What more could anydog ask?
