Once again it's time for the points of view of the dog and cat, and as always we start off with the day according to the resident hound...
7:26 AM. Waking up. Slept well. Dreamed of chasing my tail.
For some strange reason my tail eluded me.
7:28 AM. Taking a look out the living room windows. Oh
boy! Snow! Snow! Snow! How wonderful! I’m going to have so much fun
today getting out there...
7:31 AM. ....and it looks like the kind of snow that’s going
to stick around and not melt on us, so much the better! I can’t wait for the
human to get down here so I can go running and playing and jumping in it and
having fun and.... oh, wait, breakfast first.
7:37 AM. Good morning, human! Have you looked outside and
seen all the fluffy blowing snow? Doesn’t it look wonderful? Say, before we let
me out for my morning run, and by we, I mean you, because I don’t have
opposable thumbs and can’t open doors. Before we do that, how about some
breakfast?
7:40 AM. Wolfing down breakfast. A big bowl of kibbles
always hits the spot. Yum yum yum!
7:43 AM. Out the door for my morning run. Dashing through
fresh powder. Barking my head off. Woof
woof woof!
8:05 AM. Sniffing through the woods. One thing about snow...
it tends to make those infernal squirrels
rather scarce.
8:12 AM. Stopping by to see Spike the Magnificent, Tormentor
of Squirrels. One of his humans is using the snowplow on the driveway.
8:14 AM. Spike says his human was grumbling about the snow
earlier. Well, for some reason not everyone loves winter. I don’t really
understand why. Do you, Spike?
8:23 AM. Taking leave of Spike. We agree to keep each other
informed of any sightings of the squirrel enemy by the bark system. Even if
it’s at two in the morning.
8:31 AM. Passing by the house where that cranky cat lives.
Hey, there she is on a windowsill. Hello, cat! Woof woof!
8:32 AM. The cat snarls and gives me the finger. Fine, be
that way.
8:41 AM. Back home. Barking to alert the human to my
presence. She opens the door. I rush in and give myself a big shake all over
the living room to get rid of the snow all over my fur.
8:43 AM. Being subjected to the Towel of Torment. Come on,
human! I already shook the snow off!
8:51 AM. Circling around three times by the fireplace before
settling down on the rug. Time for a nap.
11:33 AM. Waking up. Had good dreams. Cornered a squirrel
where he couldn’t escape. And then I woke up.
11:56 AM. The human’s making lunch. I manage to mooch a
dinner roll off her. Yum yum yum!
12:21 PM. In the living room. Movement out of the corner of
my eye. What’s that? Heading up to the window.... wait a minute. It’s that irritating squirrel out on the
windowsill! And he’s looking right at me!
12:22 PM. Barking up a storm. That infernal squirrel is out there laughing at me. Human! Open the
door! I have to get out there and get that squirrel!
12:23 PM. Out the door. Tumbling through the snow like a
bat out of hell. Whatever that means. Barking my head off. Rounding the corner
of the house. There he is, running through the snow. This time I’ve got you!!!!
12:24 PM. The squirrel’s made it up a tree. Curses!!! Now he’s up there chattering
away at me and laughing and acting like the world’s his oyster.
12:52 PM. Stalking my way around the tree. That squirrel’s
not coming down. Still up there taunting
me. Stupid annoying infernal waste of space. Oh, how I hate you!
1:58 PM. Sooner or later, you have to come down, right? Right?
2:45 PM. Well, I’ve had enough of this. Time to go back
inside. One of these days, squirrel, you’re going to get sloppy and stupid. And
that’s when I’ll be there.
6:31 PM. Dinner with the human. Chowing down on some stewing
beef. Yum yum yum!
11:43 PM. Good night, human! Have yourself a good sleep.
I’ll stick around down here. In case that squirrel turns up on the windowsill
again at three thirty in the morning, I’ve got to be ready to bark up a storm,
after all.
I loved the second to last. Maybe the next kid will be smarter. Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteYes, Lassie it is cold ! Forget him.
ReplyDeleteLove that one the best.
cheers, parsnip
Aren't all cats cranky? Cute post.
ReplyDeleteHeavens, our Sheltie Collie mix would answer: louv ou Pretty similar to the sound she would make if we said I love you. If you said the word rabbit she was at the door ready to protect us. Love the pictures!
ReplyDeleteYour humor is in full gear, here. I like both dogs and cats so I can enjoy it when you turn the light on either species. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! Feel lucky?
ReplyDeleteSquirrels are crazy. Have one that tries to jump into my window from time to time. He bounced off it today and into the bush and just looked at me like I was going to open the window. I think not!
ReplyDeleteAnd a cat that can give the one-finger-salute... would like to see that! Hah!
Enjoyed the post, William
So...we meet again. I know that feeling all too well. It plays in my mind every Monday morning during those dreaded meetings. lol
ReplyDelete@Whisk: Lassie must have been sick and tired of Timmy!
ReplyDelete@Parsnip: thank you!
@Eve: I think of her as demanding and liking things just so. And disliking doggies.
@Mari: thank you!
@Lowell: thanks!
@Lynn: indeed!
@Lorelei: I was speaking to a squirrel a little earlier. He looked big and fluffy, as if he got himself a whole lot of extra fur for a hard winter.
@Diane: hah!
Loved the puppy hugging the bear pic. And the pit giving the kitty a lovey.
ReplyDeleteThis was even funnier when you read it aloud at the meeting!
ReplyDeleteOh, that Les Chiens Miserables poster was cute!
