Shopping Without Me

She did it again. For the second day in a row my person left me – for a long time. Yesterday she hung out with her sister and didn’t take me along. Today she mumbled something about going shopping with my younger person.

I want to go. I like shopping. You are shopping for dog food, aren’t you? I haven’t seen my younger person in a long time.

I couldn’t convince my person to take me so there we were again. Just Scratchy and me. Scratchy’s no fun so I decided to take a nap.

I must have slept for a long time when all of a sudden I heard a key turning in the door lock. Funny, I hadn’t heard my person’s car pulling up. I always wake up for that.

Guess what!? It was my neighbor – and he took me for a walk on my trails. My neighbor is the coolest.

I was a little afraid my person would come home and wouldn’t know where I was – but when we got back – still no person.

Finally she showed up. It was late and dark. And then, you know what?

My younger person showed up in a different car. I hadn’t seen this car before. But I think it was really happy to have my younger person driving it.

This new car smiles.

Nothing to Say

09 Oct

It sure feels good to be home again. I mean, don’t get me wrong – I had fun playing with all those other dogs – but there’s no place like home. They don’t give you antlers to chew on at the dog hotel.

I went for a quick check of my trails to make sure they’re still there.

Okay, that’s enough.

I think I could sleep for days.

Bongo, wake up! Wake up Bongo!

I can’t believe this. This is Scratchy here. Bongo took a nap right in the middle of writing his blog post. What a perfect chance. I can write anything I want and Bongo will never know.

It was kind of good to see Bongo walk in the door after being gone for so long. I guess I kind of missed him.

What am I doing? I can say anything I want and I’m telling the whole world that I missed Bongo. This is nuts!

Bongo, wake up! You’ve got to finish your blog post. I have nothing to say.

Back Home Again

08 Oct

At last! I can take that picture of me behind bars off my blog and get back to my adventures. My person finally sprung me from the dog jail hotel. I don’t know what she was doing, but it sure seemed like she was gone a long time.

Wait! You were doing what, person? What’s that picture on my blog? You left me in the dog hotel and went to hang out with other animals, didn’t you? And of all the animals you could think of, it had to be a pesky squirrel.

Wait a minute. Who else were you hanging out with? I’m gonna check through your pictures. You’d better not hold anything back on me.

What’s this? You were hanging out with —–cats!???

Scratchy, check this out. You were left behind and our person went to hang out with other cats.

Scratchy, look at this cat. Our person left you for a cat that doesn’t even have any hair.

Now, I get it. That’s why I found so many clumps of your hair around the house when I came home. You were trying to look like this cat so our person would come back home. Scratchy, you may be a little silly – but sometimes you’re alright.

I think we need to get together though and have a talk with our person about hanging out with other animals. Or maybe we should ignore her for awhile.

Hey, wait a minute. What do I smell? Don’t tell me our person was hanging out with even more animals?

A what? You got me a what?

You got me an antler! Hey person, you can go back to Colorado any time you want. Just make sure to bring me more antlers.

Passing the Time

03 Oct

I’m stuck at the dog hotel and I take no responsibility for what’s posted here.

Hey everybody, this is Scratchy. Bongo’s not here, so I’m taking over his blog. He’ll never know.

It’s really kind of quiet here with everybody gone. Just me and the frog, which would be a good thing if I could get to that frog – but he’s in the bathroom and the door is shut.

I’m missing my person – and don’t you ever tell him, but I’m missing Bongo too. He kind of livens up the place.

I’ve been trying to come up with some new things to pass the time until everyone comes home again. It’s kind of hard to do that, but I did find a new place to hang out. My person never uses this thing much when she is here. I guess that’s because she spends way too much time on the computer.

It’s not really all that comfortable here, but it does give me a good view out the window.

Whoa! What’s happening? My mind is playing strange tricks on me. I just had visions of Bongo trying to get up here with me.

Maybe I’d better go back to hanging out on the couch. I don’t think I really meant it about missing Bongo.

It is so nice and peaceful here.

She’s Home!

22 Sep

Boy was my person gone a long time today, so when she finally got home I was really excited to see her. I was excited because I would finally get my dinner.

She must have realized she’d forgotten to leave my bag of food out for me because the first thing she did was fill my dish. Oh, and Scratchy’s too. I’m not sure why he needed to be fed. He never even eats everything my person gives him and I have to finish it off for him.

I didn’t bother to tell my person that a friend had stopped by and let me out awhile ago. I let her think that I seriously needed to go out. She thinks I was overly excited when she said the word “outside” and I ran into a table. I did that on purpose. I just wanted her to think it was an accident.

After I came back in I needed to go out again. But I got distracted eating all the weeds – I mean, I was doing my person a favor by helping her get rid of the weeds in the yard – and my person made me go back in the house. Which meant I needed to go out again – to take care of business. And get rid of more weeds. I had to keep on my person before I could convince her that I really did need to go out.

I think I’d better stop helping my person with the yard work though. She might think I like yard work better than taking her on walks. And the weeds on my trails taste better.

Finish it Faster

15 Sep

Hey everybody, this is Scratchy here – the cat that has to put up with Bongo.

Bongo is being a rebel this morning. He does this sometimes. He goes outside and he won’t come back in the house. Until my person puts food in his dish, that is. Then he comes scratching on the door and as soon as my person lets him in he runs straight for that food dish.

Well, I decided to get him today. He thinks he’s going to find food in his dish because he heard it going into his bowl. But there’s not going to be any.

Because I’m eating it all before he gets to it.

Oops, I don’t think I’m eating fast enough.

***

Scratchy! What are you doing? Get out of my food this instant!

I can’t believe this. It’s a conspiracy! My person actually let Scratchy eat my food. They’re ganging up on me.

That’s right Scratchy. You can take your place at the water dish.

If anyone is looking for a cat I’m taking offers. And I’ll even pay for the shipping.

Prickly Pear Delight

14 Sep

Hey person, what did you do with all those prickly pear fruits you had left over? I hope you made something good for me.

You made juice? I don’t want juice. I want something good to eat.

Pink juice!? I told you I didn’t want juice. I don’t want juice of any color. Now come on person – let’s get some treats here.

Ice cream!? You made ice cream? Now we’re talking. Is all that for me?

What? I only get a little dish? What are you going to do with all the rest?

What do you mean that isn’t for me? Where’s mine?

Mmmm! This is good! And I like this dish even better than that other dish. I don’t have to worry about breaking it.

I’m almost done with this. Can I have some more?

Hey, wait a minute! How come Scratchy gets some? He didn’t even help get the prickly pear fruit.

This is Not a Baking Blog

13 Sep

Hey person, what are you doing with those prickly pear fruits on my blog?

You’re what!? You’re making bread with them. Since when is this a cooking blog?

Person, this is going a little too far. I can see if you were making dog treats maybe. That could go on my blog. But prickly pear bread? Those prickly pear fruits don’t even smell appetizing.

Throw those prickly pears in the garbage and start making me some dog treats.

Wait a minute. What’s that pink stuff you’ve got there? Did Scratchy do that? Let me have a look.

You’re putting that in the oven? What about the dog treats?

***

Hey, that stuff is starting to smell good.

You mean I get to eat some of this?

Hey person, you’ve got some more prickly pear fruits left. What are you going to make next?

My New Pet

31 Aug

My person and I have not been able to agree on a pet and I was beginning to think I would never get one. Except for my friend Dalton who said she’d come over and be my pet – but my person said it will take her a long time to get here because she lives so far away.

But today, my pet showed up. I don’t know if I picked him, or if he picked me. He came into the house on his own. I told him to be quiet and hide so my person wouldn’t notice him until he was settled in.

But he decided to come out and show himself. He stayed in one spot and kind of blended in to the carpet.

I watched as my person looked toward him. I’d hoped she’d think I left something on the floor and she’d ignore it. At first I thought she did.

But then I saw her do a double take. She looked closer at my pet. And then she walked away.

Well pet, I guess you’re okay here. Maybe it’s time to come up with a name for you.

My person came back with a box and put it over my pet.

Scratchy tried to get the box off. I think he wants a pet too. No Scratchy, I think our person is just keeping him in a box until she can find something better to put him in.

Hey, wait a minute! My person is taking that box outside. And my new pet is in it.

What do you mean I can’t have that pet in the house?

What do you mean he’s an outdoor pet?

Next time I get a new pet I think I’m going to have to put my person outside.

Left Out of the Adventure

28 Aug

My people went on an adventure last night and didn’t invite me – the dog who lives for adventures. I’m not even sure what kind of adventure they went on. A treasure hunt maybe?

Here’s what happened. My younger person left kind of late last night and said he was going back to that college place. I think maybe he said that so I wouldn’t try to go with him.

My person and I went into her bedroom and she turned out the lights. So far, so good. This happens almost every night around here.

But then, I heard that strange sound. The one that makes her pick up that little thing and talk to it. I’ve never been able to figure out what she’s doing – except that she ignores me when she’s talking to it. She hardly ever talks to that thing after she’s turned out the lights, but when she finished talking to it, she turned out the lights a second time.

But then you know what she did? She talked to that thing again and left the house and drove off in her car. And she didn’t take me!

Just me and Scratchy alone in the house – in the dark. This is not right.

My person was gone for a long time and it was starting to get light when I heard her car. I know she was on an adventure because she brought my younger person back with her. This college place he keeps talking about must be all made up.

My younger person slept for awhile and then left again in his little car. He must have lost the other one on the adventure. He’s still insisting that he’s going to that made up college place.

If my person talks to that thing again tonight, I’m blocking the door so she can’t get out without taking me with her. I’ve got to make sure they don’t lose another car in that black hole they call the college place.
