Deserted in the Storm

Bongo in his dog jail on his new bedYesterday was Independence Day and I think my people got it all wrong.

They thought they could be independent of me for awhile.

And they left me.

In dog jail.

While they went gallivanting about.

And while they were gone it rained.

And it thundered.

I got really scared.

I don’t think my people cared at all.

Because they didn’t get one drop of rain on them.

And the thunder was far away from where they were.

I hope you feel sorry for me now because I don’t think my people do.

They didn’t even bring me treats.

All they have to show for themselves are these pictures.

Eat Beans Day

Bongo with a can of beansToday is Eat Beans Day.

I was so excited when I heard that.

I mean, any holiday that has to do with food is okay by me.

I got out my can of beans and was ready to go when my person had to spoil the fun.

She reminded me of the last time I celebrated Eat Beans Day.

It wasn’t even on the right day so it shouldn’t count.

But I suddenly didn’t have an appetite for beans anymore.

***

And I’d better warn you about what can happen on Eat Beans Day.

Here’s what happened to me.

***

Who Spilled the Beans?

06JAN

Beans on the CarpetHey person, look at this pretty pattern I made on the carpet. Doesn’t it look nice?

What? I’m in trouble for that? No way!

.

.

.

.

I didn’t do it person. Honest, I swear. Scratchy did it. Look, he’s standing right over there. I just saw it and thought it was pretty. You know how much he likes to go counter surfing.

Scratchy near the Beans

What do you mean, most of the beans are missing? I don’t know what happened to them. Did you check under the furniture? Maybe Scratchy ate them.

I bet he could. I bet Scratchy could eat that many beans if he really put his mind to it. Can we go for a walk now? I really feel like I need to go for a walk.

Aaaahhhhh! That feels much better. Relief!

What!? You found the missing beans? Oh no!

Busted!!!

Short Stacks

Bongo and a bunch of rocksA long time ago some strange rock piles appeared where the boys used to hang out near my trails.

Those rock piles stayed in that spot for a very long time.

And more and more rock piles showed up there.

There were so many that I don’t think anybody could walk around there anymore.

I was going to check it out but my person wouldn’t let me.

She said those rock piles were taller than me and a rock might fall on my head.

I’m not sure why she was worried.

She says I have a hard head.

I think it was just her excuse to keep me away from there.

***

But today, as I walked by that spot things were different.

The rock piles had shrunk – and some had gone away completely.

Bongo sniffing the rocks

Guess I’d better check for clues.

I’ve got to know what happened around here.

***

This is bad.

This is really bad.

There are so many mixed messages around here that I’ll never sort it all out.

Bongo leaving a message on some rocks

Guess I’ll just leave one of my own.

Spam

Bongo with a can of SpamI got really excited.

Because my person told me this would be a post about Spam.

So I got out a can of Spam and waited for my person to open it for me.

I mean, how can I write a post about something good to eat unless I scarf it down roll it around on my tongue and savor every last bit of it.

Then I can explain to you how great it tastes and tell you that you should get some too.

But my person wouldn’t open the can.

What does she want me to do?

Open it with my teeth?

I’ll do that if I have to.

My person told me this post was about another kind of spam.

What other kind of spam is there?

What do you mean, the kind I get on my blog all the time.

She must be hiding it from me or something, because if I got all the spam she says I do I’d be the happiest dog alive.

And I’m not.

Well, sometimes I get other treats – and then I am.

There’s one thing I want to know though.

WHERE’S MY SPAM?!!!

***

Words and messages?

I’m getting words and messages that I don’t want on my blog?

And this one was the most creative one of all?

If it’s so creative why don’t I want it?

I should let everybody reading my blog decide for themselves?

(Big sigh.) Okay, here’s what it says.

“Hello, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can suggest? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any help is very much appreciated.”

This is the spam I got?

This could drive a dog mad.

Brushed

Gizmo waiting to be brushedGizmo, the cat that lives at my house now, is always up to some kind of mischief.

Sometimes I even get a little jealous because he comes up with things that I never thought of.

Like his latest form of mischief.

The way he’s managed to get extra love and attention.

Gizmo is always laying on his back in strange ways.

That’s not mischief in itself, but it is weird.

It’s what happened because Gizmo was lying on his back where the mischief comes in.

Gizmo got knots in the fur on his back.

Some people might feel sorry for Gizmo having knots in his fur but I think he did it on purpose.

I think he did it so he could get extra loves and attention.

***

Because Gizmo likes to get brushed.

Gizmo getting brushed

And Gizmo conned my younger person into brushing him until those knots were all gone.

Gizmo enjoying the brushing

With my brush!

Okay, now that Gizmo is done it’s my turn, right?

Bongo with his brush

Right?

My New Friend

Girl with a painted faceI got a new friend today.

My person must have been feeling guilty about not taking me to play with all those kids at Vacation Bible School…

…because she brought me a new friend.

It’s not every day that I get a new friend, so I was really excited when she showed up.

But I got kind of worried.

She might run out of room on her face for painting and try to paint mine.

.

.

.

So I decided to take her for a walk.

Bongo sniffing a tree with a girl standing next to him

She started out to be a great walker.

Waiting patiently while I checked my messages.

Bongo sniffing while the girl is pulling on his leash

Well, I thought she was waiting patiently.

Come on, new friend.

I’m not finished checking my messages yet.

Bongo refusing to budge

This is really bad.

My person must have given my new friend lessons.

She’s yanking on my leash just like my person does.

I’d better explain to her what a disaster it could be if I miss an important message.

Bongo and the girl walking down the trail

Wait a minute, new friend.

You don’t get it.

I’ve got to go back.

***

Does anybody know where there’s a training class to teach people how to walk their dogs?

Sunglasses Day

Bongo with sunglasses hanging on his faceToday is Sunglasses Day.

I’ve got to figure these things out.

They don’t seem to stay on very well.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Bongo with sunglasses on

That’s better.

I’ve finally got these sunglasses to stick.

Now I can go out and celebrate the day.

But something’s still not right.

These sunglasses just aren’t my style.

Oh, here’s another pair.

Let me try these on.

What do you mean, you don’t recognize him?

It’s me!

Bookworm Free Zone

Bongo with pad, pen, and glasses - ready to writeI’ve heard of bookworms.

But I’ve never seen any around my house.

The books my person has are all worm free.

So I guess Gizmo – the cat that moved in here recently – figures it’s a free for all.

He’s got no competition from worms.

.

.

.

.

So he’s going to be the world’s first book cat.

That cat is strange.

No Smoking

Bongo near a No Smoking signIt’s about time they got serious about this.

People hardly ever leave their litter on my trails, but they do leave cigarette butts.

And those butts stick around until they get covered up with dirt.

And they aren’t even the kind of butts that are good for sniffing.

But my person says the people who put up those signs weren’t even looking at the butts on my trails.

.

.

.

.

Because they don’t want this kind of smoking on my trails again.

Thunder Mountain behind smoke

A long time ago they posted fire restrictions because the fire hazard is so high right now.

And those restrictions include no smoking outside.

But for some reason wildfires don’t pay attention to signs.

And neither do some cigarette smokers.

So they had to put up great big signs.

Bongo sniffing near No Smoking sign

Hey person, I’ll be along in a minute.

I’m checking to see if there are any messages about people not seeing this sign.
