Big Mistake

Boy did I make a big mistake today.

A really big one.

Here’s what happened.

I took my person for a walk and we got to the place where we usually turn around and head back.

It was a really nice day and I wasn’t ready to head back yet.

So I kept on going.

Up the dry wash.

Usually my person won’t let me go further, but today she did.

And that was the biggest mistake of all.

***

Because you know what my person did then?

She found flowers.

And not just a few flowers.

She found red ones, and purple ones, and yellow ones.

Can we go now, person?

This is getting really boring.

Look Over There

Hey person, look over there.

No, no person.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

You’re looking in the totally wrong direction.

Don’t look over here.

It’s over there I want you to look.

***

I knew it!

I just can’t keep my person and her camera away from flowers.

Does anybody want a well used camera?

I’m giving one away.

As soon as I can wrestle it away from my person.

Left Behind

This is bad.

This is really bad.

My people have been so full of mischief that I can’t even wait until Monday Mischief to post it.

I’ve got to get it off my chest now.

I’ve got to let you feel sorry for me know all the horrible things they’ve been up to.

For two days in a row my people locked me in dog jail and went for a walk without me.

And I didn’t get a walk at all.

Something about me maybe wrecking my person’s good camera.

I would not wreck her camera – at least as long as she only used it to take pictures of me.

But what’s worse is all the things my people did.

Without me.

.

Yesterday they went to the creek.

And I didn’t even get to go swimming.

But this dog did.

***

Then today a really horrible thing happened.

My people went on my trails to take pictures of the sunset.

Without me.

And while they were on their way to that sunset…

They saw my girlfriend Lucy.

She probably thinks I’m avoiding her on purpose now.

Next time I’m locking my people in dog jail.

Sunset Surprise

The other day I finally figured out how to photobomb my person’s flower pictures.

But now I’ve got a new challenge.

I’ve been taking my person on some walks kind of late in the day.

It’s too dark for flower pictures, so I don’t even have to worry about photobombing them.

But now my person found something else to take pictures of.

.

.

Something you can only see this time of day.

Flowers are easy to photobomb.

I’m bigger than the flowers.

But what do I do about the sky?

The sky is bigger than me – and it’s higher than me.

What am I going to do?

There’s got to be a way.

And I’m going to find it.

Person, when I figure this out you’re going to be in trouble.

And so is your camera.

This is such a challenge.

What can I do about this?

Wait a minute.

I’m closer to my person’s camera than the sky is.

That’s got to count for something.

Take that you sunset!

Everybody’s looking at me now.

Photobombing the Flowers

In the spring we get lots of flowers and then most of them disappear for the summer.

And this time of year more flowers show up.

Lots of yellow flowers and a few purple ones too.

Anyone who’s known me for awhile knows how frustrated I get when my person starts taking pictures of flowers.

Well, she did it again.

.

.

.

.

She went after those purple flowers.

So I decided it was about time I do something about it.

What if I…

…photobomb her flower pics.

So I started getting in the way every time my person got her camera out.

Until I realized I didn’t need to do that anymore.

Because…

…an ant had beaten me to it.

Mischief on Me

Believe me, there has been some mischief around here.

And it wasn’t me.

It wasn’t even the cats.

It started with my person.

She pulled the sick thing – said she wasn’t up to taking me for a walk.

And I missed walks on two sunny, blue-sky days.

And then when she finally felt like she was up to taking me for a walk – it thundered.

And anybody who knows me knows that I don’t like thunder.

So here I am.

Three days of no walks.

What?

The thunder’s stopped?

We’re going for a walk?

.

Bye guys. I’m outta here!

Okay, I’m back.

That was a short walk.

And I think my person just wanted to take pictures of the sunset.

She says she was doing it so I wouldn’t notice the other cloud.

What other cloud?

What? Wait!

That’s no cloud.

That’s a thunderstorm!

I’m outta here!

Safe Walk?

I decided to take my person for a walk a little earlier than usual today.

We had the trails to ourselves – except for the lizards and birds, that is – because nobody uses my trails in the middle of the day in the summer.

The clouds were covering the sun and it was not quite as hot as usual.

But that’s what I was watching.

.

.

.

.

The clouds.

Pretty harmless so far.

I think we can keep going.

The sun’s still around.

Let’s walk further.

We’d better hurry.

That cloud’s beginning to look like something.

I’m not sure what, but it’s something.

Ummmmm…

Alright, I’m outta’ here.

That’s enough walking for today.

Not Even Ripe

I don’t believe it!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The prickly pear fruit isn’t even ripe yet and my person is taking pictures of it.

Hey person, don’t you know the color is much better when they’re ripe?

Let’s get moving!

Too Dark

A few days ago I figured out the master plan.

And it worked – sort of.

You see, I decided to wait to take my person for walks until the sun is almost down and everything is in shadow.

That way there’s nothing for my person to take pictures of.

It’s too dark.

My person has been going along with the late walks because it’s not so hot outside.

But she still tries to take pictures.

Usually she gives up pretty quickly because it’s too dark for anything to turn out.

So today I did my best to stall my person until it got dark enough.

Notice, you don’t see a picture of me balking.

It was too dark.

And you don’t see any pictures of those late blooming prickly pear blossoms we saw.

It was too dark.

But something went wrong.

***

My person found something to take pictures of anyway.

And it wasn’t too dark.

Guess I’ve got to come up with another plan.

Deserted in the Storm

Yesterday was Independence Day and I think my people got it all wrong.

They thought they could be independent of me for awhile.

And they left me.

In dog jail.

While they went gallivanting about.

And while they were gone it rained.

And it thundered.

I got really scared.

I don’t think my people cared at all.

Because they didn’t get one drop of rain on them.

And the thunder was far away from where they were.

I hope you feel sorry for me now because I don’t think my people do.

They didn’t even bring me treats.

All they have to show for themselves are these pictures.
