Mother’s Day: The Dog’s Dilemma

This Mother’s Day really has me thinking. What should Paunnie and I do for Mommis?

.. No one’s here but us, and today’s the day you’re supposed to make your mom breakfast in bed, right?

How about a shoe? Nah, I know she doesn’t want a shoe; I’ve never seen her eat one of those before. Not for breakfast, anyway. Sometimes she gives us something she cooked for dinner that tastes like shoe, but breakfast isn’t shoes.

Grass. She eats grass for lunch, but all her special grass is in the refrigerator and the door seems to be completely closed for once. I have tried opening it until my nose is sore. The only cabinet I can open in the kitchen is the one with my food and the tools. I know she doesn’t eat my food and nobody eats pliers that I have ever seen, not even me and Paunnie and we are very good eaters.k

I’ve surfed the counter and I can’t each the fruit. There’s bananas and oranges up there, I know, but I can’t reach them.

I could just re-gift her the headset I took out to the yard to play with last week, but that’s too cheesy.

If I jumped on the kitchen table and walked on that other counter could I find anything? A sponge? Anything good in the sink?

I got it! We will take her out to breakfast. Paunnie can bark, and then i will bark, and to shut us up she will take us to the park. And after the park she will go to Starbucks and buy herself a frappacino! That’s what she wants! Let’s get at it.

She’s right. I’m such a good boy. I love my Mommis on Mother’s Day.

Jinx the dog sawing some major logs

I haven’t met this girl yet, but Mommis loves her. I know because one day last week Mommis came home smelling like her. And that can only mean one thing: she got some of my Liver Biscotti :-(

Got My Summer Do!

This is where I spend the summer being called Lamby Pamby. But Mommis says I am beautiful and it makes me look younger.

Justice is Done!

Finally! For years I have been accused of being the one who drags the toilet paper around the house when Mommis is not home. She has taken to closing bathroom doors because sometimes she comes home and there’s a piece of the side chewed off the whole roll of toilet paper, so it looks like origami or something.

I kept on telling her I didn’t do it, but she didn’t believe me until today.  There was some toidy paper on the floor, and Mommis went into the bathroom to brush her teeth.  I rarely follow her in, because I hate being closed in anywhere, even with Mommis, but Paunnie followed her.

He always follows her in. He has to make sure she doesn’t leave him.

Well, she saw him eat a piece of errant toidy paper that had previously been taken off the roll by — she thought — me, but then she knew it was Paunnie because he stood there and ate that piece right up off the floor.

I could almost smell her brain working. Let’s see: he’s the dog who picks up paper in the park and eats it. He’s the dog who eats the wrappings off of any fast food anyone leaves in the garbage. Ooops! Along HE was the dog playing with the rolls of toidy paper.

The wheels of justice grind exceedingly slow. I’m five.

Our Lake Arrives

Last night the irrigs came. We live in the desert and every two weeks the water comes for the yard and makes us a lake. It came in the middle of the night last night and Frank, our neighbor, forgot to get it after us so it stayed with us all night.

The Gilbert Dog Park Rawks!!!

What do you think Mommis is doing standing up on the agility thing there?  I wouldn’t climb up on it for all the dogfood in China. It’s scary up there.

Paunnie tried to get her down, and he actually jumped all the way up there himself finally. Then she had to have Uncle Ed hold her hand to get her down. She’s afraid of heights, she knows she is, and she should have remembered that before she went up there all posing for pictures and stuff.

We had a great time in Gilbert, though. Bo and Toley were her from Camp Fluppy Puppy. Usually they are only in Half Moon Bay, but somehow they have been at our house this week. They came in a big white car.

We swam in the dog lake and fetched and ran around.  I fell in love. With a brown and white Dalmatian name Natasha, She was very white and beautiful, and I followed her around like a real fool. And then it was time for us to leave, and I had to say good-bye to her forever.

Two more days of Camp Fluppy Puppy and then Bo and Toley leave. Bummer.

What is This Person?

This person came into our yard today. I think he got lost here in the irrigation and the rain. I nuzzled him onto his back, but then he went inside himself.
Now he’s on vacation from us in the side yard.

I miss him already. He was little, but very interesting.

Half Moon Bay: Love it and Hate It

I love Half Moon Bay in the summer, when we have Camp Fluppy Puppy, but I hate it in the winter, when we get left at home while Mommis goes there alone for the weekend. Yeah, Jerry and Jamie and Uncle Dan and Max are okay, and they hang out with us and take care of us, but they don’t smell like Mommis.

This time she tried to fake me by not packing the yellow suitcase. She’s only taking the red thing. The thing the laptop goes in. But when she put the pills and the toothbrush in the red thing too, I knew where this was trending. She doesn’t take those when she goes to a meeting.

So last night, when she went out to dinner with Doris and Jerry, I took the red thing. I was gonna try to take it out in the back yard and examine what was in it to see if I was right and she was abandoning me. If it had any unders or a bra, I’d know for sure.

But man, was it heavy.  By the time I got it to the dog door, my teeth were sore from carrying it. I couldn’t quite get it, and me, through the door. And then somebody came by the house, and I had to do my job. I went to the window to look and bark to keep us safe.

And then ( I live in the present) I forgot I left it there, and she found it when she came home and figured it out.

That’s why I constantly am in the dog house.
