Lying Dog!

Lying Dog!

 

 

Hi, mommy!

Me and Daddy had such great fun today!

We came home from taking you to work,and on the way,

We stopped to say hello to that pretty dog down the street.

You know the one. The one who lives with that lady that colors her fur.

She likes Daddy almost as much as I like Daisy.

 

After that we had breakfast.

Daddy made eggs and toast and coffee.

I wish he would remember that I don't like catsup all over everything like he does!

He let me lick the plate,so that it isn't so hard for him to get the dried egg off.

 

Then we went outside to do our business.

Yeah, Daddy is still trying to kill those flowers that old biddy next-door planted on our side.

We just hung around outside for awhile. Daddy couldn't find those cigarettes you threw away.

So I had to go in,'cause they won't let me in the store.

 

Daddy let me sit on the back-porch with him while he smoked a couple of cigarettes.

Then we went back inside.

We watched animals on T.V.'cause Daddy knows that after that I take my nap.

We woke up late and Daddy had to hurry to get the dishes done,and his laundry too!

I didn't want to come because when he is late,he drives all crazy,and I have a hard time staying on the seat.

 

I'm sorry Daddy,but Mommy and I have this agreement.

If I rat you out,she will let me have the left-over meat-loaf.

Make me a better offer.

Doggy dreams Geezer

This is definitely doggy flavoured and in the rhythm of the dog great fun. Talking of dyed dogs, I saw a woman with a mauve poodle with mauve hair, mauve coat ,mauve handbag and mauve shoes, once, poor wee doggy. It was a strangely incongruous occasion at a concert with Elizabethan instruments at the local library! But instead yours is a lovely everyday occurrence and we feel in the mood for leaning down and giving the good dog a pat. Yours Ann of Norway.

Thank you so much for your comments,can picture that mauve doggie to match that womens' other accessories. Poor doggie,to be relagated to an accompaniment of shoes and purse. Good thing that doggie most likely isn't allowed to have other doggie friends or it surely would have been mortified to be seen looking like that! Thanks again,for the pat. Gee.

Thanks, buddy. I'm actually a cat person, but we've had several dogs in our family while growing up. (we had more cats, though) :~) ----------------------------------------------- "Until that ‘morrow render unto me That which is mine my stipend well deserved The fairest flower of your progeny Your sons, your daughters your hopes and your dreams The cruel consequence of your conceit" - Steve Earle
