Find a Rainbow Day

03 Apr

Today is Find a Rainbow Day.

That means I’d better go find a rainbow.

We did have a rare occurrence last night.

Rain.

So there must be a rainbow out there somewhere.

I didn’t think that a rainbow would be hiding in my house, so I took my person out for a walk.

It was a struggle getting her away from the computer, but I finally convinced her we had to go.

There were things to do and rainbows to see.

So I sniffed a few bushes to see if I could catch the rainbow scent.

.

Nothing there.

I checked behind a bush.

Still no luck.

Maybe there’s a rainbow hanging out with the flowers.

That seems like a logical place for a rainbow to be.

I don’t know where these rainbows hide themselves.

I’m having no luck finding one.

No rainbows around the trees either.

How can I celebrate Find a Rainbow Day if I can’t find one?

I finally gave up and decided to head back home for a nap.

Maybe I can dream about rainbows.

I headed into the house and I happened to look up at the sky.

What is that rainbow doing up there?

What’s the Mystery?

02 Apr

What 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?

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

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

Stalked

31 Mar

There’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.

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.

See, there it is.

Looking down at me from that tree.

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.

Butterflies

29 Mar

I’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.

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.

If you can’t beat ‘em – join ‘em.

Manzanita Mystery

28 Mar

My 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.

.

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.

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.

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.

They were red.

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?

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.

Where They Went Without Me

22 Mar

I’ve been so occupied with the cats that were hanging out here that I never told you where my people went while I was stuck at the dog hotel last week.

Well, I did tell you about the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. That’s the only important place they went anyway.

But my person threatened to take away my blog if I didn’t share with you where they went.

Do you believe it!?

First I’m forced to put up with all these cats and then I get threatened that my blog will be taken away.

I guess I’d better tell you. If I lost my blog I’d have no way to share all my adventures.

But since I wasn’t there I’m just going to show you some of the pictures.

If you’re wondering where they went, some of these pictures are from Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park in Southern Utah, and some are from Navajo Bridge near Lee’s Ferry and Antelope Canyon in Northern Arizona.

Watch out for the animals.

I sure hope I’m back to my own adventures tomorrow.

Dog Hotel Paintings – Day 6

15 Mar

Day six at the dog hotel and another photo turned into a painting.

This is the only kind of painting my person really does. Here I am in watercolor. But she didn’t really paint me. She just had a little fun on the computer.

P.S. I finally made it home from the dog hotel, but I’m resting up from my vacation before I go on some more adventures. I came home and found out there’s been some real mischief going on here though. Just wait till I get to the bottom of this.
