Who Licked the Spam?

Something really good happened around here. I mean really, really good.

It all started when my younger person was making himself some breakfast. That breakfast smelled wonderful, but I was being a good dog and leaving it alone.

Even when my younger person set his plate on the counter and left for a couple minutes. I didn’t go near it. No, not me.

Everybody thinks I’m so full of mischief, but I’m really a very good dog. I didn’t touch that food on my younger person’s plate.

But Scratchy had other ideas. Everyone thinks he’s such a good cat, but he’s the one who’s full of mischief. He’s just good at keeping it secret most of the time – or he lets me get the blame.

This time Scratchy got caught. He got up on the counter and he licked the Spam on my younger person’s plate. In broad daylight, with everyone watching, Scratchy licked that Spam.

And you know what my younger person did?

This is the best part. He gave that Spam to me.

Scratchy, I take back everything I ever said about you. You can get into mischief any time you want.

Bongo Tied

09 Jan

This is Scratchy here. Yesterday Bongo tried to tie me up with his new Bongo Ties, but he didn’t get away with it.

Those ties were great fun to play with so I kept them and hid them where Bongo couldn’t find them.

Until now, that is.

I need a new game to play with those Bongo Ties and it’s also time for some payback. Bongo’s always giving me a hard time and blaming me for everything. I don’t get into nearly as much mischief as he does but he always tries to make it look like it’s all my fault. Like I could get into that big garbage can or toss all the pillows off the bed.

Bongo, come here a minute. I’ll give you back your Bongo Ties.

Gotcha! You wanted your Bongo Ties back. You’ve got them now.

And don’t think you’re going to escape. I’ve got Tard, the Grumpy Cat watching over you. And you can’t do anything about me being on your blog.

***

Oops! I think Bongo’s working his way out of that thing.

Bongo, I don’t have any more of your Bongo Ties. Take some of these cords.

Yeah, you can have your blog back. I don’t want it anyway. It’s all your friends out there in blogsville.

I’m outta here!

Tying Scratchy

08 Jan

I was getting kind of bored today. No adventures. No nothing – when I remembered the Bongo Ties I’d gotten for Christmas. And I hadn’t done anything with them yet.

I had been planning to use those Bongo Ties to tie up Scratchy – and this is the day I’m going to do it.

Scratchy wasn’t very cooperative and I found out it’s harder than I thought for a dog to tie up a cat. At least with those Bongo Ties. I don’t think they gave them the right name. Somebody needs to invent something that’s easier to tie up cats with. And call that new thing Bongo Ties.

I started to get some Bongo Ties on Scratchy and then he got really ornery and started dropping them behind the couch.

I yelled at Scratchy and told him to go behind the couch and get my Bongo Ties back. But he wouldn’t fetch them for me so I had to get some more out of the bag.

And you know what he did then?

Scratchy decided my Bongo Ties made great toys.

And no matter what I did after that…

I couldn’t get Scratchy to give my Bongo Ties back.

***

Scratchy! Get back here! Bring me back my Bongo Ties!

Not Coming In!

12 Dec

I am not coming in! Don’t you get it person? It’s too nice to stay in the house all day.

The weather has finally gotten absolutely perfect for my trail walks. It’s still sunny outside and it’s cooled way down from the summer. I feel like I have a spring in my step and I could walk for a long time.

There are so many adventures to be had outside. In the house all I have is Scratchy and he won’t play with me.

See. I told you he wouldn’t play with me.

So on days like this when my person wants to go back in the house, I dig in.

Sometimes it works – but usually I have no luck. Maybe if we had some nice, mucky mud I could get stuck in it so hard my person couldn’t pull me out.

But wait a minute. If we had mud I’d be running into the house, because that means it’s raining – and probably cold.

I think it’s time for my Inventor Dog hat to come on. I’ve got to figure out a way to make rainless mud.

Any ideas? I can only think of one, and I’m not sure I want to dig my feet into that.

A New Mischief Maker

03 Dec

While I’ve been the perfect dog lately, Scratchy has been getting into mischief. Just look at him. My person was getting ready to make lunch and after she got all the stuff out she walked away. And what does Scratchy do? He gets right up on the counter and tries to help himself to lunch.

You’d think Scratchy owned the place the way he’s sticking his nose into that yogurt container.

But Scratchy didn’t stop there. No siree!

After Scratchy helped himself to my person’s lunch he snuck into the bathroom and tried to eat the frog.

But I’m having none of that. I’m going to protect that frog from that mischievous cat Scratchy.

Get down you evil cat. Leave that poor frog alone!

Never mind. Hey frog, you’re on your own this time.

What that frog has to go through. I bet my person’s going to have to clean his container out after that episode.

The Sunny Spot

21 Nov

There’s only one room in our house that gets a good sunny spot. And it’s the room that my people haven’t been spending much time in.

So for a long time I didn’t even notice that sunny spot. I was busy doing my dog duty and hanging around where my people are.

After all, they might need me to protect them from something.

But Scratchy isn’t such a dutiful cat.

He hangs out in that sunny spot even when nobody else is in the room. And to make it worse, he leaves clumps of his fur there. I guess he’s trying to claim that spot as his territory.

Well, my person went into that sunny spot room to pick up all Scratchy’s territory claiming furballs, and I followed her.

And I discovered something. I discovered the sunny spot and now it’s mine.

Scratchy, I’ll let you have a little corner of my new sunny spot. But only when the spot’s big.

And don’t you go leaving any of your furballs anywhere near here.

The Can

20 Nov

I don’t know what you’re talking about person. What can? Where?

Oh, that one. My younger person’s been home this weekend. He’s the one who eats the stuff in those cans. He never saves any for me. He probably left that can there.

I don’t know why he’d squash that can. Maybe he was bored. Or maybe he was angry and he took it out on that can.

What tooth marks? Where?

On the other side of the can? Then it couldn’t have been me. I can’t even see the other side of the can. Maybe my younger person poked the can with a nail or something.

Besides, how come you’re always asking me? Did you ask Scratchy? He’s got sharp teeth. And claws too. Have you ever met up with those claws?

I bet Scratchy could too have squished that can. Have you ever seen him when he’s mad?

Person, I don’t know how you could possibly think I did it. See, I’ve just been sitting here innocently chewing on my snake the whole time.

Besides, there was hardly anything left to lick in that can.

Mischief in the Air

29 Oct

It was so cool this weekend. There was mischief in the air and for once it wasn’t me. I got to enjoy it though. And I didn’t get in trouble.

My younger person came home this weekend. And he told me he missed me – and he even let me in his room.

But the best thing is – he brought a hat for Scratchy. He came across a little cup and decided to turn it into a hat. Well, obviously it was a hat for Scratchy because it wouldn’t fit any of the rest of us.

I don’t think Scratchy appreciated his gift, but it sure was fun watching him try to get it off.

Scratchy, hats aren’t all that bad. You should wear it for awhile. We can have a party.

See, I still have my hat left over from the dog party. I’ll even put it on for you.

What do you mean it turned my eyes two different colors?

Scratchy, I think we need to take off our hats now. This one’s giving away my party secrets.

Shopping Without Me

15 Oct

She did it again. For the second day in a row my person left me – for a long time. Yesterday she hung out with her sister and didn’t take me along. Today she mumbled something about going shopping with my younger person.

I want to go. I like shopping. You are shopping for dog food, aren’t you? I haven’t seen my younger person in a long time.

I couldn’t convince my person to take me so there we were again. Just Scratchy and me. Scratchy’s no fun so I decided to take a nap.

I must have slept for a long time when all of a sudden I heard a key turning in the door lock. Funny, I hadn’t heard my person’s car pulling up. I always wake up for that.

Guess what!? It was my neighbor – and he took me for a walk on my trails. My neighbor is the coolest.

I was a little afraid my person would come home and wouldn’t know where I was – but when we got back – still no person.

Finally she showed up. It was late and dark. And then, you know what?

My younger person showed up in a different car. I hadn’t seen this car before. But I think it was really happy to have my younger person driving it.

This new car smiles.

Nothing to Say

09 Oct

It sure feels good to be home again. I mean, don’t get me wrong – I had fun playing with all those other dogs – but there’s no place like home. They don’t give you antlers to chew on at the dog hotel.

I went for a quick check of my trails to make sure they’re still there.

Okay, that’s enough.

I think I could sleep for days.

Bongo, wake up! Wake up Bongo!

I can’t believe this. This is Scratchy here. Bongo took a nap right in the middle of writing his blog post. What a perfect chance. I can write anything I want and Bongo will never know.

It was kind of good to see Bongo walk in the door after being gone for so long. I guess I kind of missed him.

What am I doing? I can say anything I want and I’m telling the whole world that I missed Bongo. This is nuts!

Bongo, wake up! You’ve got to finish your blog post. I have nothing to say.
