Too Many Cameras

26 Sep

I don’t get it. I just don’t get it.

My person has this new camera and she won’t let me go with her when she takes it

Something about me jostling her or knocking her over or something.

I wouldn’t do that. All my friends who know me know that I would never do anything like that.

Okay, maybe I did that once.

Well, twice then.

I did not do it that many times!

But since I’m not allowed to go out at the same time as that new camera, you’d think I’d at least get some camera free walks.

Walks where I can go wherever I please, sniff as long as I want, and never have to wait while my person takes pictures.

But no. My person still takes her little camera every time we go out for a walk.

If she just took pictures of me on our walks I wouldn’t mind so much. I mean, that’s why she takes the camera. So she can document (I think that word’s too big for me) my adventures for my blog.

But she always finds something else to take pictures of.

And it’s flower season again.

Yellow Everywhere

25 Sep

My trails don’t have any trees that turn color in the fall, but it seems like things are turning yellow anyway.

Maybe I’m colorblind, I know dogs aren’t supposed to see color very well, but something’s different.

I walked and I walked, and it seemed like everywhere I looked I saw yellow.

There’s so much of it that it seems like all the bushes are turning yellow.

I sure hope it’s not catching.

I would look funny if I turned into a yellow dog – at least that shade of yellow anyway.

I couldn’t get rid of that yellow stuff. It was all over the place.

And then I thought, maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me.

Or maybe I’m just imagining things.

So I checked it out closer.

Yup, it even smells yellow.

I’d had enough of this yellow, so I decided to head back home.

I can relax. There’s no yellow there.

Then I headed out to my backyard.

I’m really in trouble now.

Even my yard is turning yellow!

Off Without Me

24 Sep

Yesterday I warned you that it would take me two posts to report all the mischief my people were up to this weekend.

So here’s the second post. Notice that it doesn’t start with a picture of me.

First my people went up to the airport and didn’t take me. And I understand dogs are allowed at the airport.

My person took that camera though.

And then, to make it worse they came back home and they left again.

And they still didn’t take me.

When my person got her new hiking boots I was thinking I could drag walk with her up some steep rocky areas.

Well, my younger person stole my idea.

He took my person up some steep, rocky areas.

My person and that camera.

Not only did they go up one steep, rocky area.

When they climbed down that they went further down the trail and found another place to climb.

This is totally not fair.

I mean, this was my idea to help my person test out her new hiking boots.

I might have to hide in the trunk next time to make sure I get to come along.

Oh, wait.

You did what, person?

You didn’t just climb rocks – you took pictures of flowers too?

Never mind then. If you’re going to stop for flowers I think I’ll just stay home.

The New Pet

23 Sep

This is Monday Mischief. The day us dogs are supposed to report all the mischief that happened over the weekend.

And I have a lot to report.

I’ve got so much to report that I think it’s going to take me two blog posts to get it all in.

It wasn’t my mischief though.

No, I was the perfect dog all weekend long.

But my people – I think they were up to no good.

First, my person got this new pet.

She didn’t ask me about getting a new pet.

Even Scratchy didn’t know about it and I don’t think he wanted anything to do with that new pet either.

And that pet started taking over the house.

First it was in the living room.

Then it was in the bedroom. I know my person thinks it’s her bedroom, but my bed is in there too so it’s really my bedroom.

And that new pet is not allowed in my bedroom.

I mean, what if it tries to sleep in my bed.

Well, I must have convinced my person’s new pet that the bedroom is not where it is supposed to be because next thing I know that pet is back out in the living room.

It’s probably thinking about taking over the bathroom – or the kitchen.

I hope it doesn’t try to eat my food.

I guess my person wasn’t thinking though when she got that new pet.

Or maybe Scratchy and I convinced her that no more pets should be allowed in the house.

Because finally my person got out a jar, convinced the new pet to jump into it, and then she took that jar away with the pet inside.

I hope my person has learned her lesson and no more new pets will be allowed into the house.

Hey person, last week when you told me a Bible story Mary was sitting at Jesus’ feet listening and Martha was in the kitchen fixing me something to eat while I was taking a nap – I mean, while I was listening intently to Jesus.

But I forgot what Jesus told me.

I was not sleeping – but okay, I’ll listen now.

***

One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When He finished one of His disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray.”

Jesus said to the disciples, “When you pray, say:

“’Father,

Hallowed be your name,

Your kingdom come.

Give us each day our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins,

For we also forgive everyone who sins against us.

And lead us not into temptation.

***

I don’t think that works for me.

I’m tempted every day – by Scratchy’s food dish.

Yes, I’m listening, but you know if Scratchy ate all his food I wouldn’t have to finish it for him.

***

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.’”

***

I would be the one needing the bread because I always eat everything I can find.

I guess I’d better listen to see how to get those three loaves of bread.

***

“Then the friend inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed.’”

***

I wonder if the dog is in bed with them too.

***

“’I can’t get up and give you anything, the friend said.’”

Then Jesus said, “I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is a friend, yet because of the man’s boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs.”

***

I’m on my way.

I’ve got to ask that guy for some bread. Maybe he has some fish too.

I don’t want to stay and listen. That guy might give his food to someone else.

Okay.

***

Jesus then said, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

***

Does scratching on the door count for knocking?

***

Jesus asked, “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”

***

I knew God would give me a fish if I asked!

Keeping the Chair

21 Sep

The other day I told you about my new computer that my person said she got for her camera.

I was pretty upset that a camera that doesn’t even have a blog would get a computer before I would.

But now I’ve learned that that camera has some competition for the computer.

You see, for a long time now my person has just had a laptop and she didn’t use it at the computer desk.

So the chair at the computer desk has been sitting empty.

Or at least it was sitting empty until Scratchy decided to take it over.

That’s been Scratchy’s chair for a long time.

And it really must be his chair because when my person tries to squeeze in next to Scratchy on the couch he moves.

So she figured he’d move when she sat down on the edge of the computer chair while Scratchy was in it.

But he didn’t.

He stayed on that chair like it was his.

I guess it is his. I don’t want it. It’s much too small for me.

So I guess Scratchy figured that since a computer got put on the desk where his chair is, the computer must be his.

It serves that camera right.

But Scratchy had better not get any ideas about taking over my blog.

Got Boots?

20 Sep

Yesterday my person left me home alone all day.

Again.

No walk – no nothing. She seems to be doing that a lot lately.

I didn’t tell her I went on a walk with my friend Toby.

I want to make her feel guilty because she didn’t get home until after dark.

And then you know what she did?

She told me it was my fault that she left me all day.

She says I’ve taken her on so many walks that I wore out her hiking boots and she had to get new ones.

So she decided to look for boots near where my younger person lives and visit him while she was down there.

I don’t believe it! My person went to visit my younger person and left me at home.

At least she didn’t use her new hiking boots while she was there. She says it’s still too hot outside at my younger person’s house.

So today I got to help my person test her new boots.

I took her and those new boots out on my trails and she said they worked really well.

She even says her new boots get better traction than her old boots because the old ones were so worn out.

If those boots get better traction that means my person can go more places.

I think I might have to help my person do some more testing of those boots.

I wonder if they’ll stick to steep rocks.

Hmmmm.

Let me see where I can drag take my person now.

What’s in my Wash?

19 Sep

Whenever we go out on my trails my person has her camera aimed and ready and she’s always looking for unusual things to take pictures of.

I wish she’d just enjoy the walk – I mean, nobody cares if there are pictures on my blog.

Unless they are pictures of me, of course.

But my person can take pictures of me when we’re at home. She doesn’t need to take her camera on my trails.

But this time my person really found something unusual to take a picture of.

It’s so unusual that I might have to run back home and get my Detective Dog hat to investigate what it might be.

This thing showed up at a spot where flowers often grow in the dry wash on my trails.

Oh yeah, for those of you who were wondering about the dry wash I couldn’t find recently – it showed up again. Funny how those things happen.

At first I thought this strange thing was another flower growing where the other flowers had been.

But then when I looked at it closer I realized it wasn’t a flower at all.

I think it’s some kind of toy.

It’s a pinwheel!

Half a Walk

18 Sep

Sometimes I just can’t figure people out. They just don’t make any sense.

I started taking my person for a walk and we had hardly gotten out on my trails when she said, “We have to go back.”

What gives? We never go on this short of a walk. If she’s in this much of a hurry she just lets me out in the back yard.

My person said something about frozen food she left in the trunk.

I don’t know what she’s worried about. That food will still be in the trunk when we get back from our walk.

And if it stops being frozen and she doesn’t want it any more, I’ll eat it.

That food’s not going to go to waste.

As long as it’s not frozen olives in the trunk, that is. I won’t eat those in any way, shape, or form.

But I’ll eat all the other not frozen food.

So don’t worry person. We can go on our walk, and I’ll take care of the food when we get back home.

Well, my person wouldn’t go for it and we had to go back.

She got all the food out of the trunk and put it away – and then she said since we’d already had part of a walk and she had to be somewhere soon, we could only go on half a walk.

You should have left that food up to me, person.

I was really getting frustrated with my person until we got back from our half a walk.

Not only had she gone to the frozen food store, she’d gotten me something special at the pet store.
