I Didn’t Do It

I don’t get it. Why would my person think I did this? I was just trying to tell her what Scratchy did while she was gone.

I would never knock over that garbage can. Why would I do that? I know how to open the can so why would I knock it over?

Oops. I mean, Scratchy knows how to open the can.

Sometimes there’s nothing good that I can reach though. It’s all down in the bottom.

Well I had to try reaching it because Scratchy couldn’t. I was only helping him out.

What’s that stuff on the floor?

Scratchy put it there. Besides, you didn’t want it anyway.

Scratchy, I told you that you should have finished that stuff off. Then no one would know what you did.

What do you mean, I have a guilty look?

I’m not guilty.

Wait, wait! Is this better?

Do I look innocent now?

The Snake Did It

08 Apr

Look at this! Just look at this! Look what my snake did while you were gone, person.

I tried to stop him. Really I did.

But he got to that box and tore it apart before I could get to him.

It was a good thing that box was empty, because it used to be full of my treats. I would have been really upset if my snake had torn up that box and eaten all the treats out of it.

Bad snake!

Person, he’s really a sneaky snake. I didn’t even hear him tearing up that box.

I just came out here and it was already torn apart.

What am I going to do with this snake?

What do you think I should do, person?

I know. I’m going to give that snake what for.

He’ll never know what hit him.

See if that snake ever tears up one of my boxes again.

Midnight Mischief

02 Apr

Yesterday I had to put off my mischief story because I had so many other things to say. So today I’m going to tell you about the mischief maker – and this time it wasn’t me.

All last week my person was working on a paper mache empty tomb, and for some reason she wouldn’t let me alone in the room with that tomb. She doesn’t seem to trust me or something. Just because I knocked it on the floor and ate the paper mache stuff off of it. I don’t know what the problem is. My person fixed it.

At night she was shutting the door to her bedroom – with me inside – so I couldn’t go out and eat be near that tomb without her knowing about it.

Scratchy wasn’t very happy about this. He likes to come and go as he pleases and he really dislikes being locked inside the bedroom at night.

So one night Scratchy came to the closed door and started making noise like cats do and clawing on the carpet. My person opened the door and when he got up on the bed she shut the door again.

This made Scratchy mad and he wanted right back out. My person let him out since he was making such a ruckus and then she shut the door.

Scratchy didn’t like that either. He wanted that door open. He kept bugging us until my person opened the door again.

He didn’t want to come in, but he wanted to be able to come in.

Of course, this left me with access to that tomb.

But I didn’t want to eat that thing. It tasted terrible the first time.

The Tomb is Really Empty Now

25 Mar

Hey person, Scratchy’s getting into the Easter eggs.

What?

I am not.

I am not trying to cover up for what I did.

What did I do?

Oh that. Well, it smelled like food to me.

So I ate it.

It was a what?

You’re making an empty tomb for Easter? The tomb that Jesus left?

Aren’t tombs made out of rocks or something?

Person, if you’d carved that tomb out of rock I wouldn’t have eaten it. So it’s all your fault.

But don’t worry. I’ll take care of it.

Look.

I’m cleaning up the mess I made on the floor.

Mischief Failure

17 Dec

We finally had our first snow of the season and I wanted to go out and play. But for some reason I couldn’t convince my person to come out and play with me. I think I even made up a new rule for Snoopy’s Mischief Master Class – Look Forlorn – but it didn’t work. I guess Snoopy doesn’t need to add that one to the book.

Finally, I convinced my person to go for a walk on my trails with me.

I think weeds taste better when they’re mixed with a little snow.

Yup, this looks pretty tasty.

A little snow dressing. Definitely my preferred way to have my salad.

Okay, now I’m full. Time for a little exploring.

Hey person, this looks like the best way to go today.

Hey, this is delicious. Just what I needed to wash down those weeds.

Come on in, person. The water’s fine!

I’m not sure why, but I don’t think my person wants to go this way.

Peanut Butter Jar

10 Dec

I can’t believe it. I’ve been so good because I know Santa is coming soon, but everyone else around here seems to be getting into mischief.

This time it’s a peanut butter jar.

I don’t know what got into that peanut butter jar – well, besides peanut butter that is.

My person left the house and I innocently checked the sink to see if there were any dishes that needed to be cleaned out. I thought I’d help my person out by washing some dishes for her.

I found this peanut butter jar in the sink and it really needed cleaning out. There was still a layer of peanut butter all over the inside of the jar. It was kind of hard standing over the sink to clean it so I took it out and into the next room where there’s a soft carpet and I could really work on cleaning that thing.

I was doing a great job with the cleanup when that jar started pulling its mischief.

You see, that jar kept some of the peanut butter where I couldn’t reach it. I tried everything – chewing on the jar, squashing it, stretching my tongue out really long – but nothing I could do would convince that jar to give up its peanut butter.

My person got mad at me when she came home, but it wasn’t my fault I didn’t get the jar all clean. If that mischievous jar hadn’t kept that peanut butter in a spot where I couldn’t get it, I would have been able to do a really great job.

But somehow I’m always the one that gets blamed.

I’m in a Book!

29 Nov

I am so excited! My buddy Snoopy, Master Class Mischief Maker, has written a book. And he invited his friends to be in it.

And since I’m one of Snoopy’s friends, I’m in the book. I saved one of my special adventures for the book, so none of you have seen it on my blog. I almost got myself into real trouble on this one, but everything turned out cool in the end. And I didn’t get into trouble at all. I used a few of Snoopy’s Mischief Master Class Rules and they worked.

The book just came out as an eBook through Amazon. I talked my person into buying it and made her read the whole thing to me today. It’s got several of my friends in it too, and they’re all full of mischief. My person didn’t complain about paying for the book because half of the profits are going to help therapy dogs. We both thought that was a good thing to support.

The book’s even coming out in paperback really soon. I can’t wait because I’m planning to give it to my cousin dogs for Christmas and to some of my neighbors too. When you read about my adventure in it you’ll realize why I want to give it to my neighbors.

Hey, do I need a new hat now? I think I just became Book SalesDog. What kind of hats do SalesDogs wear?

What do you mean, they don’t wear any hats? How can I be SalesDog without a hat?

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.

Sneaking Out?

22 Oct

There’s somebody in my yard. And they’re not supposed to be there.

It’s some of those coyotes – or javelinas.

And I’m going to get ‘em.

I’ve got to be quiet though. If I start barking I’ll wake up my person and then I’ll never get to them.

They’re out this way. Maybe I can get through this window. I’ve got to get up on this table to get to it.

Oops, I knocked the stuff down. I’ll just drag this pillow and the sheet to the center of the room so it’s out of the way. The note cards can stay where they fell. They’re little. I don’t think my person will notice them there.

This window’s not working. I can’t seem to get through it. What about the door? No luck here, but I messed up the doormat. I’d better put it in the pile too.

Hey, wait a minute. I think there’s a secret way out through the bathroom. Let me check.

What’s this bathmat doing in my way? I bet it’s covering the secret entrance. I’d better get it out of here.

Nothing.

I’ve got one more option and these boxes are in front of this window. How am I going to get them out of here?

Wow! They tear apart pretty easily.

Oh oh. I hear my person. She never comes out to this room in the middle of the night. What kind of coincidence is that? I didn’t bark or anything so there’s no way she could know I was here.

Hey person, I’m sure glad you decided to come out here. Check it out. I was just straightening up a few things for you.

A New Kind of Mischief

17 Sep

Check me out! Do I look different? Suave and debonair in my black and white?

All summer – at least since the beginning of July – I’ve had to wear my anxiety vest almost all the time. This has been the worst thunder season I can remember. My person has been around a lot longer than me and she says it’s the worst she can remember.

But it’s over! Yippee! Check out that blue sky. Not a cloud in it. And this picture was taken in the afternoon when most of the clouds build up.

I just have one problem now. Thunder season is when I get into the most mischief – at least when I’m left alone in the house.

I’m going to have to come up with a new kind of mischief. And I’ve got the perfect thing.

Since we’ve had so much rain there are lots of green juicy weeds on my trails.

My person doesn’t like waiting around while I stop to chomp. Actually, she doesn’t even like me to eat those weeds. She says I have plenty of food at home.

I don’t agree. The more food I can find the better.

So when my person tries to get me back on the trails, I’m digging in.
