Toss the Ball

Yay! My person is coming back from Indiana tonight. It’s a good thing because my younger person is going away for the weekend. If my person wasn’t coming home she would make my younger person stay home with me – and then he’d probably be mad at me.

In the meantime Scratchy and I are standing watch, waiting for my person to get home. I can’t believe Scratchy cares, but here he is sitting next to me and waiting. I’ve got my ball ready for my person to toss. Scratchy, maybe you should get a piece of yarn or something. Actually, never mind. I don’t think our person can toss balls and twirl yarn at the same time. She may be good, but I don’t think she’s that good. At least she said she wasn’t that good and I want all the ball tossing time I can get.

No Place Safe

29 Oct

I’m so disappointed. You see this picture of Scratchy here? He did that for a dog. And that dog wasn’t me. He’s never done that for me.

I guess I’d better explain a few things. This picture was taken a few years ago – before I came to live here. My person says she used to have different kitchen cabinets, and they went all the way to the ceiling. Scratchy couldn’t escape by jumping on top of the cabinets, so he did the next best thing. He got as far away as possible and then, well, you know the rest.

Scratchy says (yes, I talk to Scratchy every once in awhile) that dog didn’t even live here. She just came to visit for a few days and Scratchy didn’t like it one little bit.

I really don’t think it’s fair that a visitor dog got Scratchy to do something that I can’t get him to do. Scratchy hung out on top of those kitchen cabinets for ten months after I came to live here, but never once did he arch his back like that for me. Would anyone like to help me with a fundraiser to pay for my person to put the old kitchen cabinets back?

Tuna or Beans?

28 Oct

Scratchy doesn’t eat much besides his cat food, but he loves tuna. When my person opens a can of tuna he comes running. I don’t know why, but my person gives him special treatment. She gives Scratchy all the tuna juice and I only get the leftovers. Whatever Scratchy doesn’t finish is what I get. It’s a good thing Scratchy’s only cat-sized because he gets more tuna juice than he can handle. Can you imagine if Scratchy was my size? I’d never get anything.

For some reason Scratchy thinks every can my person opens is a can of tuna. He hears that can opener going and he comes running to the kitchen. When he finds out my person just opened a can of beans he turns up his nose and walks away. I’ll take some beans.

No such luck. For some reason my person’s not in a sharing mood when she opens a can of vegetables. I’m not sure why.

Hijacked!

06 Oct

Hi there. This is Scratchy here. You know, the cat that Bongo lives with. While he’s not looking I thought I’d take over his blog. He took over my house a few years ago so the least I can do is take over his blog. I have a lot to say about Bongo but there’s one good thing. When my person works on her computer I like to sit on the counter top next to her. She doesn’t like me sitting there, but as soon as she starts to chase me off Bongo comes out and starts jumping up and down and trying to get in the middle of things. This drives my person crazy, so she usually lets me stay on the counter.

Scratchy! What are you doing on my blog? Get off! This is my blog! Do I have to start jumping up and down to get you off my blog? Okay, here goes. Yes!!! You’re going to have a hard time getting on my blog from the top of the kitchen cabinets.

Okay it’s me – Bongo. Don’t pay any attention to what that darn cat Scratchy said. I hope he didn’t mess things up for me. Tomorrow I promise it will be me on this blog. I’ll make sure Scratchy stays put.

Blame it on the Cat

26 Sep

Oops! I think I’m in trouble again. But it’s not my fault. My person was outside sweeping up juniper berries. I don’t like it when she goes outside without me, but then it got even worse. I saw a strange cat sitting in our driveway. Do you believe it? In our driveway – my driveway! My person saw the cat too.

Then you know what she did? She came in and got her camera to take pictures of that cat. I love it when she takes pictures of me. Something about the click of the camera excites me and I jump and drag my toys around the house. My person has to take extra pictures of me because I’m giving her so many great poses.

But she wanted to take pictures of that cat. That’s not fair and as a matter of fact it’s totally bad. I jumped and barked at the front window. I’m not supposed to be on the couch that’s there, but I didn’t care. Then I jumped up really high and pawed at the blinds coming down. Oops. I broke a slat. But it’s not my fault. I’m blaming it on the cat.

Let’s Play

25 Sep

Scratchy usually keeps his distance from me but sometimes – not very often – he gets close enough that we can play. I’m not sure why, but he doesn’t like to play for very long. Usually he runs away very quickly. Sometimes he even jumps up on top of the kitchen cabinets so I can’t get anywhere near him. I can jump pretty high, and I’ve tried to jump high enough to reach him up there, but I’ve never had any luck.

I’ve never hurt Scratchy – even though he’s scratched me on the nose a few times – so I can’t figure out why he doesn’t want to play with me. After all, I’m one of the most playful dogs I know. I think everyone should want to play with me. I mean, I’m really fun to play with.

I wonder if he thought I was having so much fun jumping that he decided to do it too. He didn’t get it quite right though. I come down right away. Scratchy jumps up, lands on top of the cabinets, and doesn’t come down for a long time. Come on Scratchy. Let’s play!

Scratchy and Bubba

14 Sep

Scratchy and Bubba

Bubba lives across the street. He’s black like Scratchy. He used to hang out in our yard a lot. He would lay in the driveway or in the yard. Sometimes he would get on our window ledge and peek in. Scratchy would get on the other side of the window and growl at him when he did that. Scratchy seems to think he owns the area outside our house even though he doesn’t get to go out there.

What Scratchy doesn’t realize is that the area outside our house is mine. I’m the only one who gets to go out there – besides my people, that is. I had to convince Bubba of that too. It’s kind of hard to chase a cat when you’re on a leash, but I managed to do it. It’s really fun when cats run away.

I finally got the message through to Bubba. He doesn’t come over in our yard any more. He stays at home. I kind of wish he’d come back though. I need another cat to chase.

Scratchy's Safe Place

When I first came to live in my house Scratchy was already there. I don’t think he liked me very much. I hardly knew he was around for a long time. He hung out on top of the kitchen cabinets and only came down to eat and use his litter box. Then he jumped right back up to the top of those cabinets.

I kind of wanted to get to know Scratchy, but I really didn’t mind that he stayed out of the way because that meant I had the people all to myself. I had been living in dog jail for a long time and I had to share the people there with lots of other dogs. Having people of my own was like heaven for me.

Scratchy finally got tired of hanging out by himself and decided to come down. It took him about ten months though. Now I had someone else to play with, but he didn’t play fair. He’d jump up onto a counter so he was higher than me and when I jumped up to get to the same height he’d scratch me on the nose. Ouch!!!

Gizmo

06 Sep

Gizmo

Sometimes I know someone when I’ve never actually met them. Sometimes my people come home with smells from other animals and sometimes I’ve smelled those same smells before. I feel like I know those animals, but I don’t like it when other animals get attention from my people. After all, they’re my people.

There’s one cat that I’ve smelled on my people before, that I also smell on my little friend. The friend I wrote about in my last blog. This cat is getting awfully familiar with a lot of people that I know. I’d really like to meet this cat in person so I can chase him away.

My person said it wouldn’t be nice to chase this cat, but she told me this cat sleeps in strange places. Something about a sink. If that’s the case I could probably jump high enough to turn on the water faucet. I wonder how wet the cat would get before I had a chance to chase it.

Bedroom Access

27 Aug

I made Scratchy run

At night I usually sleep in the bedroom with one of my people. My bed is in her room and sometimes I sleep on that but more often I stretch out on the carpet. Scratchy doesn’t like to go into the bedroom at night because my person shuts her door and Scratchy likes to have free access to his litter box. I guess it’s too much for him to wake up our person and wait for her to get up and open the door for him. I don’t have any problems with that. I usually don’t need to get up at night but if I do I make sure my person gets up and lets me out. I don’t let up until she does.

In the morning Scratchy usually decides he wants to join us in the bedroom, so what does he do? He claws on the carpet outside the bedroom door. Our person gets out of bed, opens the door, and then gets back in bed. Scratchy comes in at his leisure and our person lets him get on her bed. He just clawed up the carpet and she lets him get on her bed. She never lets me get on the bed and I’m much better than Scratchy.

This morning I decided to do something about it. I posted myself near the door and when Scratchy started coming in I stood up as if I was going to chase him. Scratchy ran. That was fun. I waited for Scratchy to come back but he never did – so I decided to get my person out of bed instead.
