Who’s Talking?

What kind of day is it today, person? What’s a Palm Sunday? Is that when you give me loves all day with the palm of your hand?

Well, what is it then?

He did? Jesus rode on a donkey? Hey, there’s an animal in this story. I think I’m going to like it. Does this donkey talk like Balaam’s donkey?

Okay, I’ll listen.

My person says Jesus came riding into Jerusalem on a donkey and the people were happy to see him because of the miracles he had done. They spread their cloaks and branches on the road before Jesus and they took palm branches and went out to meet him.

Oh, now I get it. That’s why it’s called Palm Sunday because of the palm branches. What’s a palm branch, person? I don’t think I’ve seen one of those.

Why do they grow in Phoenix, but not here? Can we go to Phoenix so I can see palm branches?

Okay, I’m listening.

When Jesus and the donkey came by the people shouted, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”

Some of the Pharisees (the guys who didn’t like Jesus because he gave them what for) told Jesus to tell his disciples to be quiet. You know what Jesus said? He said, “If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

You mean the donkey doesn’t talk, but the stones do?

Beans or Corn?

31 Mar

I decided to do a test the other day. Awhile back I ate a bunch of dried beans. They tasted pretty good, but it took me two days to get rid of them. It was kind of rumbly in my tummy. Recently my person gave me the chance to compare them with something else.

She had some supplies left from her Sunday school class in a bag in her room. Most of it was stuff I didn’t care about, but there was one thing in there that had an interesting smell to it. Not a strong smell, but still interesting. My person must have forgotten it was there.

I waited until my people were out of the house and then searched through her bag and found it. A cup full of unpopped popcorn. I quickly pulled it out of the bag and spread it across the floor so I could taste it at my leisure.

I have to admit that it wasn’t as good as the beans. And I’ll still rank dog treats way above either.

You Dropped What?

30 Mar

Hey Scratchy, what is that? What are you checking out on the carpet?

Move over, Scratchy. Something dropped out of my person’s sandwich, didn’t it? You won’t eat it. Move aside so I can.

Hey, what is this? It’s got some tuna juice and mayonnaise flavor on it. I’ll lick that off. But this is – this is——olives!

Yuck! I hate olives!

Here, person. I’ve licked all the tasty stuff off the outside. You can stick those olives back in your sandwich now.

Quail Talk

29 Mar

I wish I understood quail talk. Today I saw a quail in a tree and it was talking to another quail. The first quail would make a sound and then the second would answer.

I wonder if they were talking about me. I sure wish I knew what they were saying. What if they were laughing at me? They were way up in the trees and I was on the ground. Maybe they thought that was funny.

Or maybe they were making fun of the way I look. I don’t think I look that bad, but I sure look different than those quail.

Maybe they took some lessons from those pesky squirrels and they just wanted to give me a bad time. I might have to take some tree climbing lessons so I can go after them. Or maybe some lessons in quail talk so they can’t talk right in front of me without me knowing what they’re saying.

What, person? You think they were calling to find a mate? They were looking for a cute girl quail so they could have fuzzy little quail babies?

You mean they weren’t talking about me at all? Come on quail. I thought I deserved more attention than that.

Save the Weeds

28 Mar

Perfect conditions! Warm spring weather and we just had lots of snow that melted and soaked the ground. Guess what that means. Weeds! Bunches of them. And I really like munching on weeds.

My person took me out for an extra walk today because she wanted to get some pictures, and I took advantage of it to get some weed munching in. My person kept telling me to quit, but she was too busy with her camera to do anything about it, and I kept munching away.

What am I saying here? Somebody’s going to think I’m turning into a sheep. I still like meat and dog treats and stuff, but an occasional weed for dessert is nice. And I’ll chase the sheep before I turn into one myself.

Where was I going with this? Oh yeah. I got a taste of the weeds on my trails and I really looked forward to trying out the weeds in my yard. But you know what my person did? She went out in the yard and started pulling those weeds out of the ground. She put them in a big black bag and threw that in the garbage can.

I think I could have convinced her to save some of those weeds, but she wouldn’t even let me go out in the yard with her. She said it wasn’t even to keep me from eating weeds. Something about getting bored and jumping the fence when she was out pulling weeds before.

Hey person, that was way last summer. I won’t do that again. I’ll just stay in the yard and graze. Really.

Get Rid of Those Tacks

27 Mar

You got done with what, person? There were some tacks in your computer? Well, I’m glad you took them out. You could get poked with those. That could hurt.

Taxes? What are those? Are those fancy tacks? Do they come in special shapes or something?

Oh, that’s what you were working on the last few days when you spent so much time on your computer? I thought you were working on my blog. Person, I told you what I wanted you to put on my blog. Did you do it?

No, that’s not good enough person. I want all of it on my blog. Get those tacks out of the way. You’re probably afraid that they’ll hurt your fingers. Wouldn’t it make more sense to move them? Besides, you haven’t been reading me any of my friend’s stories lately. What’s wrong with you anyway?

You’re getting a what? What’s a refund?

Oh, you thought you were going to have to take money out of my dog treat fund to pay for all those tacks on your computer, but you’re getting money back instead.

Woo woo! More money for dog treats. Can you read me some of my friend’s stories while I’m munching on my dog treats?

Homework! Now you have to finish your homework first?

Okay person, hand over your computer. I’m going to stick a few tacks back in it.

Boys are Better

26 Mar

I had a great time on my trails today. I met this cute girl. Anybody who knows me knows how much I like getting loves from cute girls. Well this girl was kind of shy. She said she liked me, but then she was afraid to give me loves. I put on my charm though, and finally I got some loves from her.

But then, something even better happened. I met a bunch of boys and they wanted to give me loves. I’m not picky. I’ll take loves from anyone. But those boys had something even better than loves. They had a ball and they wanted to play. Imagine that, somebody wanting to play ball with me.

I had so much fun with those boys. They tossed the ball for me and I jumped up and caught it. And then they tossed it again. Finally, I gave the ball to my person to toss. I missed it and knocked it into a big pile of prickly pear cactus. That was the end of that ball.

Since my playing time had been cut short I thought maybe I’d see if Scratchy would play with me when I got home. I don’t think he was in the mood though. When a cat hisses does that mean no?

Why Did They Want to Kill Him?

25 Mar

What are you telling me, person? You mean that little baby you told me about last Christmas – the one who was born where all the animals were – grew up to be a man and then people wanted to kill him? Why would they want to do that?

Yeah, Jesus. That’s who I’m talking about. Why would they want to kill him?

He did? He performed miracles and healed lots of people? Is that why they wanted to kill him? I don’t get it.

Did Jesus heal animals too?

He taught people about God and the Kingdom of Heaven? Didn’t they like God? Is that why they wanted to kill him?

He told people to do things like love their enemies? Okay, now I get it. They must have thought he was nuts. He tried to take away the fun of giving someone what for.

What, that wasn’t it either? Then what?

People followed him instead of the religious leaders? And Jesus told the religious leaders they were hypocrites that were leading people away from God? Oh, now I get it. I think.

So the religious leader got jealous of Jesus? And mad at him?

He did? He told people he is the Son of God? Why would he say that if he knew it would upset people? He could have just kept quiet and no one would have bothered him.

But person, that doesn’t make sense at all. You mean he came and was born so he could die on a cross? I don’t get it. Couldn’t he have asked God to rescue him?

He could? Then why didn’t he? Did he at least give all those religious leaders what for?

No way! He asked God to forgive them? I really don’t get it now.

He died on that cross because he loves us? I love you person, but I don’t want to die on a cross.

He had to take all the sins on himself so everybody could be with God? Didn’t God like Jesus?

He loves people too, so He was willing to sacrifice His only Son for all the people? And he saved the lives of animals too because they didn’t have to be sacrificed anymore? That’s cool. That means He loves animals too.

But I still don’t get it.

I have to hear the rest of the story and that happens on Easter?

Oh, Easter. That’s the day I get to steal the candy out of the plastic eggs.

Training Session

24 Mar

My person has been making a lot of mistakes lately and I think she’s due for some retraining, so this is a training session for my person. All of you people out there who walk your dogs might want to listen up too. And if you don’t walk your dog, or you don’t have a dog to walk you need to start with a different training session. I’ll get to that one in awhile.

Hey person, I’ve got to lay down some rules here. I know you have to hang on to the end of my leash so you don’t get lost or run off, but there are a few times you need to let go.

For instance, today when that bunny came running across the trail. If you had let go of my leash your arm wouldn’t have been yanked so hard. You know it’s going to be sore tomorrow.

And if you had let go of my leash I would have been able to chase that bunny. You know it’s getting close to Easter. That bunny is probably gathering up a stash of brightly colored eggs somewhere. I might have been able to follow that bunny to the stash.

You know that would have helped you out, person. You’ve got an Easter egg hunt coming up. Where do you think you’re going to get the eggs for it?

I hope you’re thinking about what I’ve just told you. Next time we see a bunny, let go of my leash.

Stepping for Squeaks

23 Mar

Hey, my person likes the squeaks as much as me. She stepped on my squeaky ball so she could hear the sound it made. She likes it!

What person, you didn’t see it there? It was right in front of you. How could you miss it?

I know where my balls are when it’s dark. If I can’t see something I can still smell it. So why didn’t you smell it? Why didn’t you turn the lights on anyway?

Oh yeah, you were just getting up to go to the bathroom and I left the ball right in your path. Good story. You know you really like to make my ball squeak.

Speaking of the bathroom, can you let me outside now? Hurry person, open the door.

What’s that squeaky sound? Somebody else must like the sound of my squeaks.

I did? I stepped on it? Oops.
