Water in the Puddle

It’s definitely time to put on my Detective Dog hat again. You see this puddle here? Well, we haven’t had any rain for weeks and this puddle should not be here. I have no idea where it came from or what it’s doing here.

I guess I’ll look for clues to see if I can figure out what’s going on.

Maybe there’s some water coming from that wash up there.

Nope, don’t see any.

Nope, this puddle’s still missing. I thought maybe my favorite puddle would give me some clues, but as you can see, it disappeared.

It’s been gone for a very long time. I sure would like to know where it goes to.

I’ll check the missing puddle for clues anyway. Maybe some water will start gurgling up and I’ll have my puddle back again.

***

I give up. I’m getting nowhere with this. Puddles are so unpredictable. They’re here and then there not here. I just can’t figure them out.

I might have to fill this one up myself.

Wandering Puddle

21 Sep

Since the thunder left I’ve really been enjoying taking my person for walks on my trails. Every day has been sunny, and the air feels just right. But there’s one problem.

My puddle left. Again.

I don’t know where it goes, but it’s always going somewhere. This time I think I’m going to look around and see if I can find it.

***

Look what I found! I’m in luck! My puddle – it moved over here.

There’s something wrong with it though. I ran out of puddle too soon. This can’t be all of it.

This is really strange. How can half my puddle disappear and the other half stay. I don’t know what I’m going to do now. I think I’m dealing with a split personality puddle. It’s got to be very confused. How would I feel if half of me went missing?

I don’t think my puddle should be here at all. Maybe if I make it leave it will find its other half and go back where it belongs.

Take that, you wayward puddle. Time to go home.

Who Came Out

03 Sep

About a year ago I did a post celebrating September 1^st. That’s when thunder season is supposed to end – or so I thought. In reality we had bunches of thunderstorms during the month of September. I was not very happy.

So this September 1^st I decided I’d better not celebrate. And it’s a good thing too because we had a big thunderstorm and bunches of rain. But the storm finally ended and my person said it was safe to go out.

I’m thinking my person announced that on a loudspeaker because I wasn’t the only one who came out.

The sun came out, but I didn’t really notice. There were too many interesting things on the trail.

Some mushrooms came out.

Then a rainbow came out, but it seemed to be rainbowerly challenged. It wasn’t all there.

But the best thing of all was when I discovered that my puddle came out.

What do you mean, I can’t drink the water?

I’m not drinking it. I’m just giving my puddle a kiss.

Looking for the Teacup

03 Aug

There’s a new sign on one of my trails. There was a sign there before, but now a new and improved sign has appeared.

I think somebody must have seen the sign I put up in my puddle a couple days ago and got jealous. That’s the only thing I can figure.

I wasn’t trying to compete with anyone. I don’t plan to start any sign wars by putting a better sign up in my puddle. But I do have to admit, this new trail sign is rather nice.

I’m kind of befuddled though. I’ve been walking on my trails a long time and I’m still looking for the teacup.

I know where the coffee pot is.

Coffee Pot Rock – Sedona, AZ

But I haven’t been able to find the teacup.

Maybe I’m looking in all the wrong places. Maybe that teacup isn’t big and red like the coffee pot.

What if this is the way to the tea party and I have to bring my own tea cup?

What if that butterfly I chased out of my puddle with my sign was the first guest at the tea party? And I ruined the party.

That’s terrible. I’m going to be known on my trails as a party pooper.

That does it! I’m heading out there right now and taking my sign down.

Puddle Invasion

01 Aug

My puddle, that disappears to who knows where sometimes, has been hanging around lately. But now I have another problem.

Other creatures have been coming and thinking it’s their puddle.

I see lots of footprints and I know someone’s been around when I’m not there to stop it. And they think they can get away with it!

Sometimes birds try to use my puddle for a bathtub. That’s pretty nervy of them. They need to find their own bathtub.

But today, I caught a butterfly trying to take over my puddle. Just hanging out there, as if that puddle belonged to him.

What am I going to do? Before I know it there will be lots of butterflies – and birds- and sneaky night creatures.

If I’m not careful that puddle will get tired of everybody hanging around and it will disappear again.

This is not good. I’ve got to think of something.

Oh, I know what I’ll do.

Terrible, Horrible, Awful Kind of Day

13 Jul

Today started out as one of those terrible, horrible, awful kind of days. The thunder started rumbling early. My person had made me leave my anxiety vest on all night and I think its effectiveness had worn off. They do that, don’t they?

So I was shaking away and hiding out in my safe spot in the hall when my person did it again. She left me – with all that thunder. I don’t know what she’s thinking. I would have run out with her but my younger person had hold of me and he wouldn’t let go. I’ve got to train him better.

Finally my person came back, but this time the thunder was still hanging around. Yesterday she managed to get rid of it, but I guess that thunder figured out how my person tricked it and wouldn’t fall for the same thing again.

I had to put up with that thunder for most of the afternoon but then my person said she hadn’t heard it for awhile and we were going for a walk.

I love walks, but I was still pretty nervous. I heard a sound coming from the sky and wanted to run back home but my person said it was just my friend Jet. I don’t know what Jet would be doing in the sky but my person does come up with crazy ideas sometimes.

My trails felt different. Not that dry, dusty feel like they’ve been for so long. They actually felt cool and moist under my feet.

And then I found it. My puddle had come back! Puddle, where have you been for so long? I missed you.

I kept looking for my friend Jet and I couldn’t find him anywhere. My person must have been making that up. I did find something else when I looked for him in the sky though.

A cloud painting.

Hey Jet, if you’re hanging around here anywhere could you please come out. I want to play.

Almost Snow

16 Apr

It snowed today, but I’m not sure what happened. Last time it snowed here I found all kinds of snow creatures. This time, nothing. I think there might be some in those rocks up there. Those rocks are a lot whiter than usual and snow creatures are white. So that might be them hiding up there.

I’m not sure why I saw snow coming down all day, but the ground is just wet. Shouldn’t it be white and slippery when it snows? I did find a few slushy weeds on my trails. They were extra good, but my person would only let me get a couple bites in before dragging me away.

Oh, wait a minute. Here’s something that wasn’t here before. Puddles and squishy mud! This is alright! Keep walking, person. I’ve got to see how much mud I can squish.

Oh, look! It’s back! My puddle came back! Puddle, where have you been? I’ve missed you so much. I didn’t know if I would ever see you again. I’m so glad you came back. Were you lost? Did the snow creatures take you away with them? Did they drop you off before they went up on those rocks? Puddle, it’s so good to see you again.

Another Sign of Spring

03 Apr

There’s something missing here. I know it was here yesterday, so where is it? What happened to it?

My puddle is missing. Yeah, I know it has been getting smaller the last few days, but I didn’t think it would go away. It got all filled up after that big snow we just had. I didn’t think it would leave so fast.

Where did it go? Maybe it went where the snow creatures go when all the snow goes away. I wonder if that puddle could find them. They went away awhile ago.

Oh, no! I hope that puddle didn’t get lost. If it’s lost it might not ever find its way back here. I would be very sad if my puddle never came back. Maybe I should go looking for it.

Person, can we go looking for my puddle? But I don’t even know which direction to go. It left without a trace. I don’t see a drop of water anywhere.

What? I might have to wait until it rains again, person? But that won’t do me any good. Then there will be water everywhere and I still won’t know which direction to go to look for my puddle.

Snow Changes

21 Mar

We got more snow overnight and then the sun came out in the afternoon. Time for more adventures!

The sun made the snow start melting so there were all kinds of puddles and streams on my trails. I walked through the middle of every puddle. It was great fun.

I found some kind of strange spiny creature hibernating in the snow. I’ve never seen this creature before. I hope it’s still there when the snow melts. I want to see what the rest of it looks like.

My pond didn’t have any water in it a couple days ago. Now it’s a true mud puddle. It even has red water. I’d better get my Detective Dog hat on and find out where this water is coming from.

Hey, where did this water come from? It’s running down the rock.

We even found a virgin trail and got to put the first footprints in the snow.

Hey person, I bet tomorrow we’ll be able to find some really good virgin mud.

Where’s My Puddle?

19 Jan

Where is it? It’s been here for so long and now I can’t find it anywhere. Person, did you hide it in your computer like you did with those awards I got?

Well, you put all kinds of other things in your computer. I bet you could fit my puddle in there too. It had to go somewhere. It’s not here anymore.

So where did it go if it’s not here? Did the coyotes come sneaking in the night and drink it? Or did those birds who were hanging out here soak it up in their nesting material? It had to go somewhere.

No way! Puddles don’t disappear into the sky. I’ve never seen a big puddle floating off into the sky. That just doesn’t happen person.

Evaporation? What kind of a word is that?

Never mind.

Now I suppose you’re going to try to tell me that my puddle came falling out of the sky in the first place.
