What’s the Mystery?

02 Apr

Bongo sniffing a bushWhat mystery?

Where?

I met one of my neighbors on my trails today and he said there was a mystery.

I’m trying to figure out what he’s talking about.

How can Detective Dog solve a mystery if he doesn’t know what it is?

Maybe I’ll figure it out if I put on my Detective Dog hat.

Okay, where’s that mystery?

My neighbor was talking about what?

The mystery of the clouds?

If they’re not on my trails and I can’t smell them, then it must not be a mystery worthy of Detective Dog’s time.

Besides, what’s so mysterious about clouds?

Strange cloud shapes?

Wind blown clouds over Chimney Rock

Strange shaped clouds

Strange shaped clouds near the sun

I’m leaving the mystery of the strange cloud shapes to my neighbor.

I’m heading back inside. It’s awfully windy out here.

Happy April Fool’s Day!

01 Apr

Happy April Fool’s Day everybody!

Bongo with two fingers behind his head

What!?

I am not the one being fooled!

What bunny ears? Where?

There’s no bunny in here.

This foolishness has got to stop!

***

I can’t believe my person thinks she fooled me.

Just wait till she wants her fingers back.

Stalked

31 Mar

Bongo next to a manzanita bush full of blossomsThere’s definitely been some mischief going on on my trails today.

I’ve been stalked!

I know it.

I’m not sure why though.

Maybe because the stalker knows that these are my trails.

Or maybe the stalker wants to be there when I finally catch the aliens who have been piling up rocks on my trails.

Or maybe…

I don’t know why.

.

So I guess I’ll just tell you what happened.

Hummingbird in flight

This hummingbird has been stalking me.

Everywhere I went on my trails today, there it was.

Right now it’s flying to its next perch so it can keep an eye on me.

Hummingbird in a tree with an arrow pointing to it

See, there it is.

Looking down at me from that tree.

Hummingbird on a branch

And there it is again.

That bird is everywhere!

My person seems to think there are a lot of hummingbirds out today, but she’s wrong.

There’s only one.

And it’s stalking me.

And she only thinks she saw two hummingbirds at the same time.

Those birds are faster than a speeding bullet.

That bird tricked her into thinking there were two.

But I just thought of something.

If that bird follows me home and starts tapping at my window it’s going to be in trouble.

I’m still living with three cats.

I knew cats were good for something.

Sleeping on the Job

30 Mar

Painting_of_Christ_in_GethsemaneHey person, I’m still waiting for Jesus and the disciples to drop a few morsels and crumbs from that Last Supper.

But wait. If it’s the Last Supper I bet they wanted to make sure they ate all they could.

Guess I’d better look for some other place to get a handout.

You’re going to tell me another story while I’m looking?

Okay, but if I find some good stuff that needs to be cleaned off a floor somewhere I might stop listening.

***

They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

***

I hope the disciples brought some leftovers with them to munch on while they were sitting.

I am too listening.

***

Jesus took Peter, James, and John along with Him, and He began to be deeply distressed and troubled.

***

I didn’t think anything bothered Jesus.

Oh yeah, Jesus just had His last supper. I bet He was already thinking of all the meals He wasn’t going to get.

I’m listening. I’m listening.

***

“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” Jesus said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.”

Going a little further He fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from Him. “Abba, Father,” He said, “everything is possible for You. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”

***

Did Jesus bring His cup from that supper? He probably should have left it behind.

***

Then Jesus returned to His disciples and found them sleeping.

“Simon,” He said to Peter, “are you asleep?

Could you not watch for one hour? Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

***

Their bodies will be stronger after they finish their nap.

Okay, I’ll listen.

***

Once more Jesus went away and prayed the same thing.

When He came back, He again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to Him.

***

Maybe they should take Jesus’ cup from Him.

If they had something to drink they might stay awake.

***

Returning the third time, Jesus said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”

***

What a way to wake up those sleeping disciples.

Jesus wouldn’t have had to go to that extreme with me.

All He would have had to say is, “Food!”

Butterflies

29 Mar

Orange spotted butterflyI’ve been worried about the flowers that are starting to show up on my trails, because they make my person spend too much time with her camera.

But now I’ve discovered I’ve got something else to worry about.

Butterflies.

At least the flowers stay in one spot.

But those butterflies are moving all over the place.

So my person starts chasing them with her camera.

And since she’s stuck to my leash I end up having to follow wherever she goes.

What kind of a dog wants to follow butterflies?

Oh no, here we go.

Here comes another one.

White butterfly on white flowers

I was hoping my person would just go for the flowers…

What am I saying?

Now I’m wanting my person to take flower pictures?

It’s not as bad as chasing butterflies – but maybe I should just hide her camera.

Then I wouldn’t have to worry about those pictures at all.

***

Oh.

She wouldn’t be able to take any pictures of me then.

That wouldn’t be good.

I’d be stuck with all the old pictures of me and I’d never be able to get any new ones.

Oh well.

I guess I’m going to have to put up with it.

Bongo with a butterfly on his nose

If you can’t beat ‘em – join ‘em.

Manzanita Mystery

28 Mar

Bongo in front of the bush with berriesMy trails seem to be full of mysteries lately.

I’ve been checking for clues everywhere.

So while I was checking for clues on the last mystery, I discovered a new mystery.

A Detective Dog’s work is never done.

.

.

.

.

Detective Dog

I might have to do some modeling and have my person take some new Detective Dog pics before I wear my hat out.

Besides, I always get extra treats when I model.

Okay, back to the mystery.

It’s a Manzanita mystery.

Because baby Manzanita berries always start out green.

Manzanita Berries

Like this.

And most of the new berries on my trails are coming out green.

They usually get some rosy color later, but when they first appear they’re green.

But I found some berries that just had to be different.

As a matter of fact, even their blossoms were different.

Pink Manzanita Blossoms

They had pink blossoms.

All the blossoms on the other bushes were white.

And when these berries popped out they weren’t green at all.

Red manzanita berries

They were red.

Red manzanita berries

So I started investigating to find out why these berries, and these only, were different than the rest.

And you know what I discovered when I looked around the other side of the berries?

Red and green manzanita berries

The berries are red on one side – and green on the other.

These berries are not so different after all.

It’s all a front.

And the Clues Lead to…

27 Mar

Bongo and a rock pileI was walking along the wash on my trails today, like I do almost every day – when I saw it.

Rock piles have been showing up everywhere and here was yet another one.

One of these days every rock on my trails will be part of a pile.

This might cause a serious problem.

If one of those rock piles falls over, a lizard might get smashed.

Or a rabbit.

Or maybe even a dog!

I decided I’d better get on my Detective Dog hat…

.

.

Bongo looking cool with his Detective Dog hat on

And look for clues.

And I found them.

Clues, that is.

I discovered that I’d better watch my step…

An eye drawn on a rock

Because someone is keeping an eye on me.

And they obviously know my secret identity.

I found an S on my trails the other day…

S's drawn on a rock

And now here are more.

They obviously know that I’m Super Dog.

But they also know…

A star and crescent moon drawn on a rock

That I’m the star of the show.

***

And here it is.

The final clue.

I know everybody’s been waiting anxiously to find out who’s been building all these rock piles.

Strange animal face drawn on a rock

Now all I have to do is find this culprit.

Too Many Piles

26 Mar

Bongo next to a pile of rocks in a washI don’t believe it!

Someone ran out of room in their rock pile spot and now they’re even building rock piles in my wash.

This is a silly place to build rock piles.

Don’t they know this is a wash?

As soon as we get a good rain the water will come roaring down here and take that rock pile away.

Oh, wait.

When was the last time we had rain here?

That rock pile might be safe after all.

So anyway, since that rock pile in the wash might wash away I’m going to leave it alone.

And invade the rock pile spot instead.

Bongo among many piles of rocks

Every time I walk by here there are more piles of rocks.

They’re running out of room to even put more piles.

So I think I’ll do them a little favor.

So they have a chance to do some more piling…

Bongo knocked over a few rocks

I think I’ll knock a few of these rocks to the ground.

“S” Stands for…

25 Mar

An S shape in rockCheck this out.

There’s an S on my trails.

That must be for me.

I know my name starts with a B.

Oh, wait.

If that S is there then that means somebody knows my secret identity.

My trails must know it for sure.

I didn’t think my trails knew that about me.

I guess there’s no keeping it quiet anymore.

I’m mild mannered Bongo by day…

.

Super Dog

Super Dog by night!

It’s Super Dog to the rescue!

***

Oh oh.

I think I messed up.

I was tricked into giving away my secret.

That S wasn’t for me at all.

Because look at this.

A century plant just starting out

It’s the new beginnings of the first Sentury plant this year.

That S must be there to announce the birth of this plant.

***

It is too there for this plant.

What do you mean, it’s a See?

See starts with S.

So what’s the deal?

It’s a Century Plant with a C?

Then somebody’s all confused.

Because they wrote the wrong letter in that rock.

***

Maybe Super Dog should go C about this.

There might be a Kat involved.

Cat Mischief

24 Mar

Gizmo stretched out in Bongo's kennelThose cats are still hanging out at my house having a cat party.

This must be the longest cat party ever.

But I guess they wore themselves out and decided to take naps.

The only problem is that Gizmo took his nap in my dog jail kennel.

What’s a cat doing in a dog’s kennel? My kennel at that!

Well, I’d had enough of all the mischief going on around here so I told Gizmo he’d better get out of my kennel.

.

And you know what he did?

Gizmo on his back in Bongo's kennel

He made sure there was no room left for me.

Cats!

What do you do with them?

You can’t beat them and you can’t join them.

So I did the next best thing.

Bongo kissing Gizmo

I kissed him.
