Back Home Again

At last! I can take that picture of me behind bars off my blog and get back to my adventures. My person finally sprung me from the dog jail hotel. I don’t know what she was doing, but it sure seemed like she was gone a long time.

Wait! You were doing what, person? What’s that picture on my blog? You left me in the dog hotel and went to hang out with other animals, didn’t you? And of all the animals you could think of, it had to be a pesky squirrel.

Wait a minute. Who else were you hanging out with? I’m gonna check through your pictures. You’d better not hold anything back on me.

What’s this? You were hanging out with —–cats!???

Scratchy, check this out. You were left behind and our person went to hang out with other cats.

Scratchy, look at this cat. Our person left you for a cat that doesn’t even have any hair.

Now, I get it. That’s why I found so many clumps of your hair around the house when I came home. You were trying to look like this cat so our person would come back home. Scratchy, you may be a little silly – but sometimes you’re alright.

I think we need to get together though and have a talk with our person about hanging out with other animals. Or maybe we should ignore her for awhile.

Hey, wait a minute. What do I smell? Don’t tell me our person was hanging out with even more animals?

A what? You got me a what?

You got me an antler! Hey person, you can go back to Colorado any time you want. Just make sure to bring me more antlers.

Finish it Faster

15 Sep

Hey everybody, this is Scratchy here – the cat that has to put up with Bongo.

Bongo is being a rebel this morning. He does this sometimes. He goes outside and he won’t come back in the house. Until my person puts food in his dish, that is. Then he comes scratching on the door and as soon as my person lets him in he runs straight for that food dish.

Well, I decided to get him today. He thinks he’s going to find food in his dish because he heard it going into his bowl. But there’s not going to be any.

Because I’m eating it all before he gets to it.

Oops, I don’t think I’m eating fast enough.

***

Scratchy! What are you doing? Get out of my food this instant!

I can’t believe this. It’s a conspiracy! My person actually let Scratchy eat my food. They’re ganging up on me.

That’s right Scratchy. You can take your place at the water dish.

If anyone is looking for a cat I’m taking offers. And I’ll even pay for the shipping.

The Open Door

27 Aug

Do you believe it? My younger person was taking stuff from the house and putting it in his car tonight. Stuff he needed for that college place. And they locked me in the bedroom.

My people said they had to leave the door open and they didn’t want me running outside.

So what did they do? Well, they didn’t lock Scratchy in the bedroom with me. They let him have free reign of the house with that open door right there.

And the sad thing is that with all that wide open outside waiting to be explored, Scratchy stayed right at that open door and sniffed the door frame.

I suppose there might have been some good smells there, but there’s so many more smells further out. I’m so disappointed in Scratchy for not taking advantage of his situation. I would have been out that door in a shot. What’s wrong with Scratchy?

And when my people started heading back into the house…

Scratchy ran back in as fast as his little feet could take him. He does not know how to take advantage of a good situation.

I’ve got to convince my people that it’s Scratchy that needs to be locked in the bedroom and me that should be allowed by that open door.

They’re Here!

25 Jul

This is Scratchy here. While Bongo is in the hallway trying to hide from all the thunder we’re having today I thought I’d sneak onto the computer and steal his blog. Actually our person said I could. She even told me to.

That’s because I have some news. Awhile back Bongo’s friends Geraldine and Mr. Cheddar had a contest at their blog My Real Life Reviews. Bongo wanted to enter it but the contest was only for cats and their people, so Bongo entered me. And guess what. I won!

I got three different prizes and the last one just showed up so I thought I’d share them with you – well, at least the pictures of them.

The first one was a bag with cats all over it. My person said she had a use for it so I thought I’d be generous and give it to her. Actually, I couldn’t figure out what I was going to do with that bag anyway.

Then a package came with a book in it. The book is called Crafting with Cat Hair. I was afraid Bongo would to steal all my hair and try to do something with it so I guarded that package carefully.

But the best package just showed up. It’s full of cat treats and a little catnip. It even came with a letter from Mr. Cheddar and now he’s my friend too.

My person put the treats back in the box, but even the box is good.

What, person? I didn’t understand you. I’m in this treat euphoria here.

What!? What do you mean I have to get Bongo something? Just because he entered me in the contest and I won?

Okay, fine. Here you go Bongo. I think some deer lost his antler so you can have it.

Somebody Won!

03 Jul

I won, I won! What? No, wait a minute. Scratchy won.

Hey!

I was reading a blog post from my friend Mr. Cheddar. Don’t tell anyone I said this, but I think Mr. Cheddar is one of the best looking cats I know. Oh dog, did I say that? I’m not even supposed to like cats. If anyone knows it will ruin my reputation.

Mr. Cheddar had a contest and I wanted to enter it, but only cats were allowed to enter.

So I entered Scratchy.

I didn’t think anything would come of it. Scratchy’s never won anything so I didn’t figure he’d win this either.

But he did. He won. And now he’s holding it over me.

Scratchy’s getting special treats in the mail and he’s not sharing.

My person says that even if Scratchy did want to share she wouldn’t let him. I’m not supposed to eat cat treats.

No fair!

Scratchy, you’d better enter me into every dog contest you find.

Scratchy’s Blog

18 Jun

This is Scratchy here. Don’t tell Bongo, but I found the computer on with nobody around. It’s been a long time since I’ve stolen been on Bongo’s blog and I think it’s my turn to get a little attention. After all, why should he have friends all over the world and not me? I want some blogging friends too.

So I’m going to type a little about my adventures. Oh, wait a minute. I don’t have any adventures. What can I tell you about?

Hey, why is this screen black? How do you turn this thing on?

Hey Bongo…

Oops, I can’t ask Bongo how to turn it on. Then he’ll know I was trying to mess with his blog.

No Bongo. I wasn’t using your computer. Why would I want to get on your blog anyway? It’s mostly just read by a bunch of dogs. I was just checking out this stool. It’s pretty comfy.

Bongo, I am getting down now. You can stop jumping.

You can have your old blog. I’m going to take a nap.

Bongo Cat

09 Jun

Scratchy

I’m really upset about this – and maybe a little humiliated. Whose blog is this anyway? This is supposed to be a dog blog. Where did all the cats come from?

My person says I need to explain myself. She likes to look at all the searches that find my blog. The ones that keep coming up all the time are the searches that find that dead mouse that my person drew.

I don’t mind that so much. At least the mouse is dead. But there was a new search that found my blog and I’m not happy about it at all. I don’t even want to admit it.

Okay person, I’ll tell them. The search was “bongo cat.” Do they think I’m a cat, or what? This blog is about dogs – there shouldn’t be any cats on it. I know Scratchy steals my blog sometimes. Maybe I should erase his posts so I’m not associated with cats in any way. Look at all these pictures that came up.

At least these pictures show me giving Scratchy what for.

But then I found these other cats. These are my cousin cats that I didn’t even get to harass meet. My person visited them and put their pictures on my blog.

Scratchy, we’ve got a cousin black cat.

What’s in the Fridge?

And – do you believe it? The only picture from my blog that came up on that search that doesn’t have a cat in it has a picture of a pesky squirrel.

The Squirrel that Got Away

I give up.

Home Alone

23 May

My people left the house this morning and said they would be gone all day.

This is not good. I’d better not drink my water or I’ll be squeezing my legs together before they get home.

At least I can get Scratchy’s food off the counter. Oh, no! They remembered to put it on top of the fridge where I can’t reach it.

Hey Scratchy, can you jump up on top of the fridge and knock your food down?

What? I ate it the last time you did that? I won’t eat it. I promise.

Well, I’ll leave a little bit for you.

Are you done in the litter box Scratchy?

My turn to check it out now.

Now I’m really thirsty. Just a little bit of water. Nope, I’d better not. I’m squeezing my legs together already. I hope my people come home soon.

Oh, thank goodness. Here comes my friend to let me out. I can’t figure how she knows just the right time to come over. She must be psychic or something. She picks up my thoughts that I really need to go out and comes over when I need it the most. I bet she could make a fortune telling dog’s fortunes, the way she reads my mind like that.

What, you’re leaving already!?

I take that back about my friend. If she was so good at reading my mind she would have fed me too – and put Scratchy’s food back on the counter where I can reach it.

Come on back friend. I’ve got to give you some more lessons in reading my mind.

Prison Song

06 May

Paul and Silas with the Jailer – Artist Unknown

Hey person, whatever happened to that Saul guy? You know, the one that Jesus struck blind on the road to Damascus?

Who’s Paul? I’m talking about Saul.

What? They’re the same person? Now I’m confused. How come he has two names?

So most people called him Paul after he met Jesus? Was that because he was like a different person? So what happened to him after that?

He got to go on road trips? I want to go on a road trip. You haven’t taken me anywhere in a long time. Except on my trails, that is.

Where did he go on those road trips? Did he have a really cool car? Maybe he had a 4Runner like ours.

They what!? They didn’t have any cars then? They had to walk everywhere? What’s wrong with them? I don’t want to go on that kind of road trip. So where’d he walk to?

Why would he do that? He walked to different cities to tell people about Jesus and start churches? And it took days to get to some of those places? Boy, he was dedicated. I’m sure glad I don’t have to walk all those places.

Okay, I’m listening.

My person says one of the places Paul went was called Philippi. He and his friends met a slave girl who had a spirit in her that could predict the future. She was making lots of money for her owners, but she kept following Paul and his friends around and bothering them. Finally, in the name of Jesus, Paul commanded that spirit to come out of the girl.

I hope Paul gave that spirit what for when it came out of the girl.

Okay person, I’m listening.

The owners were really mad because now they couldn’t make any money off that girl, so they dragged Paul and his friend Silas to the authorities where they were beaten and put in prison.

Ouch! I bet Paul and Silas were pretty upset.

They what? They prayed and sang hymns? In the prison? At midnight? I don’t get it person. I would be howling.

My person says there was a big earthquake when Paul and Silas were singing and all the prison doors flew open. The jailer thought all the prisoners had escaped and was about to kill himself because he would be executed for letting the prisoners go.

Wow, I wouldn’t want his job.

Paul told the jailer not to kill himself because all the prisoners were still there. Then the jailer asked Paul and Silas what he must do to be saved.

Person, what does he need to be saved from. Was there going to be another earthquake?

I am listening.

Paul and Silas told the jailer, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved.”

They told the jailer and his household about Jesus. Then the jailer washed their wounds and he and his family were baptized. He took Paul and Silas to his house and fed them and was filled with joy because he and his family had come to believe in God.

Hey person, if I tell someone about God will I get a midnight meal too?

Living with Bongo

26 Apr

This is Scratchy here. It’s been a long time since I’ve stolen Bongo’s blog written a post. Bongo’s sleeping in the other room right now so I’m taking advantage of it.

Bongo says I’m not adventurous enough to write anything on his blog – well, let me tell you – living with Bongo is adventure enough some days.

The other day Bongo brought that little dog Houdini over here to play. Those two were so energetic they almost ran me right into the trash can. I beat feet out of there as quick as I could and jumped on top of the kitchen cabinets where I was safe.

I used to hang out on top of those cabinets a lot, but lately I hadn’t been up there much. I’d forgotten how nice it is, and I’ve been hanging out on them more often lately. I can see all over and nobody can touch me.

The best part is being able to keep an eye on Bongo. I can see everything he does when our people leave, and when they come back home I make sure they know about it.

And Bongo can’t do anything about it.
