Some links before getting started today. Yesterday having had been a Friday, Parsnip had a Square Dog Friday. Krisztina had ideas for Easter decoration. Eve had a Facebook unfriended post at her blog. Lorelei had a look at her other book. And Mark shared seven things.
We turn once again to the regular dog and cat point of view posts, starting, as always, from the view of the hound (Loki as he happens to be called, a fitting name for such a canine)....
7:35 AM. Waking up.
Dreamed of chasing a rabbit. For some inexplicable reason the rabbit got away.
Maybe next time...
7:42 AM. Good
morning, human! Nice day, isn’t it? It looks like we got more snow overnight.
Tell me, is this winter ever going to end? More pressing business though: how
about some breakfast?
7:48 AM. Wolfing
down a bowl full of kibbles. Yum yum
yum!!!
7:51 AM. Out the
back door for my morning constitutional. If I catch up to my arch nemesis the infernal squirrel, so much the better.
8:02 AM. Running
through the back fields. Barking my head off. Lots of snow. Aren’t we past the
first day of spring yet?
8:26 AM. Stopping
in to pay a visit to Spike the Magnificent, Tormentor of Squirrels. We greet in
the customary dog style.
8:28 AM. Spike and
I confer on movements of the enemy. Squirrels have not been seen by either of
us in the last three days, though both of us have heard them in the woods. Devious little bastards. They must be up
to something completely evil. And
whatever it is, you just know it involves nuts.
8:31 AM. Spike and
I discuss the upcoming Easter holiday. It is still a perplexing thing to both
of us, but there are many things about humans that perplex dogs. For some
reason they won’t let us have chocolate eggs.
8:43 AM. I part ways
with Spike after we agree to keep each other updated through the bark line on
any squirrel world domination plots.
9:03 AM. Stopping
by that property where that cranky cat lives. And hey, there she is, sniffing
at the snow! I think I’ll say hello. Woof!
9:04 AM. The cranky
cat hisses at me and expresses deep disdain. Come on, cat, why can’t you and I
just let bygones be bygones and be buddies?
9:05 AM. The cat
warns me that if I step so much as one paw on her property, she will go
scorched earth on me. What does that mean? Scorched earth? Cats. I’ll never
figure them out.
9:06 AM. Taking my
leave, continuing on my way through the woods. Bye, cat. Maybe you’ll be in a
better mood tomorrow.
9:22 AM. Back home.
Barking at the door. Hey, human! I’m home!
9:24 AM. Inside and
settling into the living room for a nap. As always, I turn in a circle three
times and settle down by the fireplace.
12:05 PM. Waking up
from nap. Smell the air. Something is cooking, but it’s too early for dinner...
12:06 PM. Coming into
the kitchen. Big pan on the stove. Human nearby. Oh, she’s making soup.
The problem with
soup is she won’t give me any. Something about me making a lot of mess. Come
on, human, it was only the one time!
12:27 PM. I use my
sad eye puppy look to mooch a dinner roll from the human. Yum yum yum!
1:15 PM. The human
is off running errands in the barn. I, meanwhile, am busy staring out the
window in anticipation of the mailman.
1:22 PM. I spot the
mailman’s truck coming down the road. I bark most strenuously in frustration at
his insolence in coming down this
road! How dare he leave anything in that mailbox!
1:23 PM. There he
is! Putting mail in the box! Barking my head off! This is an outrage! You and I will have words! If I
had my way, my teeth would be clamped on your leg!
1:31 PM. The human
comes in, carrying the mail. Human! The vile
mailman once again left mail, despite my barks of outrage!
5:53 PM. Waking up
from my latest nap. Smell of bacon in the house. Oh, this is too good to pass
up... The human is making
bacon pancakes! Human! Have I mentioned how much I love you?
6:23 PM. Having
dinner. The human and I are feasting on bacon pancakes. You know, you can
really taste the bacon when you chew slowly....
11:31 PM. The human
is off to bed. Good night, human! I will stay down here, and try to figure out
where you have hidden all those Easter treats you’ve bought.
Of course, with my
luck, they’re in the pantry or in some closet, and my lack of opposable thumbs
can’t navigate door knobs.
The dog walker ...hehehehehehehe!

Oh, that hacker dog! Love these!
ReplyDeleteThose Scotties look very familiar!
ReplyDeleteNo cookies this time? The face on that dog with the candles is adorable and the raincoat meme is priceless. Great post!
ReplyDelete@Jane and Chris: poor dog walker!
ReplyDelete@Cheryl: thanks!
@Norma: Scottie overdose today!
@Eve: thank you!
Love the Mailman picture. My husband was a paperboy as a youngster and he has some stories about the trickiness of dogs.
ReplyDeleteThe double jointed German Shepherd.
ReplyDeleteI love the butt off the sofa one. ;)
ReplyDeleteAck the cuteness it killing me.
ReplyDeleteAnd no no no there can never be a Scotty overdose !
Of course thehamish will have all the cookies. And that photo looks just like him.
Watson is a brindled Scotty so he has never been really black black Scotty.
cheers, parsnip
Once again, got me chuckling. Dog-gone cute. Butt in the air one's a winner, I think!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness.... This was cute as usual. Love the dog with his nose in the curtain.
ReplyDelete@Carole: my dad was a postman most of his working life, and he had stories.
ReplyDelete@Mari: isn't it cute?
@Mari: that appears to be a consensus.
@Parsnip: I knew you'd like the Scotties.
@Lorelei: thanks!
@Shelly: so did I.
Oh boy...you've got some laugh-out-loud funnies here! I really like the dog that hacked the vet's computer to neuter the cat!
ReplyDeleteLoved the pics, so hilarious!
ReplyDeleteLove the flat tire in Alaska!
ReplyDeleteAwesomely cute! LOL
