Not Coming In!

I am not coming in! Don’t you get it person? It’s too nice to stay in the house all day.

The weather has finally gotten absolutely perfect for my trail walks. It’s still sunny outside and it’s cooled way down from the summer. I feel like I have a spring in my step and I could walk for a long time.

There are so many adventures to be had outside. In the house all I have is Scratchy and he won’t play with me.

See. I told you he wouldn’t play with me.

So on days like this when my person wants to go back in the house, I dig in.

Sometimes it works – but usually I have no luck. Maybe if we had some nice, mucky mud I could get stuck in it so hard my person couldn’t pull me out.

But wait a minute. If we had mud I’d be running into the house, because that means it’s raining – and probably cold.

I think it’s time for my Inventor Dog hat to come on. I’ve got to figure out a way to make rainless mud.

Any ideas? I can only think of one, and I’m not sure I want to dig my feet into that.

Meet the Neighbor

27 Nov

Finally! I finally got to meet him. My new neighbor Toby.

We were heading back from our walk – my person and I, that is. And we saw one of Toby’s people out in his yard. So of course I had to go over and say hi.

And when Toby’s other person saw me there she told Toby to come out and meet me.

We sniffed here…

and we sniffed there.

Hey person, you left out some of those sniffing pictures. What’s the deal? Where are they?

Not the one where I’m sniffing the shoe!

People! Sometimes they just don’t get it.

Anyway, remember that walk I took around the block the other day? Well, this time I got to take a walk around the block with Toby.

And now I have a new neighbor – and a new friend.

Hey person, can we go for a walk with Toby again tomorrow?

Nurse Bongo

15 Nov

I was so bummed yesterday. My person had twisted her ankle the day before and she was limping, and moaning, and saying it hurt really bad.

So yesterday morning she said I wasn’t going to get my walk.

What do you mean I’m not getting my walk? I always get my walk.

Not only that, but my person said I had to take care of her.

Well, I take care of her by barking if a stranger comes into the yard, or by keeping Scratchy out of her room so he won’t bother her. But what does she mean – take care of her? Do I have to get a new hat now – a Nurse Dog hat?

I’ve never been Nurse Dog before, but I’ll do anything to get my walk. So I kissed my person’s ankle, and I guess I did a good job being Nurse Dog because my person felt so good she got up and left me – alone. Well, alone with Scratchy. She got in her car and left.

See if I ever put on a Nurse Dog hat again.

But then my person came back and said she felt good enough to take me for a walk. Woo woo!

I’m not sure why, but my person walked kind of slow. I didn’t mind though because it gave me extra time to get some good sniffs in.

But now I’m thinking, if my Nurse Dog skills got my person better that fast, maybe what I need isn’t a Nurse Dog hat at all. It’s something else.

What about Miracle Healer Dog hat? Come on over to my house. I’ll heal you pronto.

Wait a minute. I don’t need a hat for that at all. But I could do with a big tent in the yard.

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.
