Diary of a Dumb Dog

March 2008

Today I barked. I don't know why. I did it for a long time. My people yelled at me. I think they like it so I barked some more. They opened my gate and I ran. I like to run. I ran far away. I looked at things. When I got home, my people were so happy to see me, they used raised voices.

I like socks and shoes. I can make them into new shapes. Chewing makes me happy.


April 2008

My favorite toy is called a "Ginger." It is fuzzy and likes to play with me. Today its sharp claw got stuck in my lower eyelid. Again. I had to wait for my people to remove it. Then I played with my toy again until it ran down the stairs. I don't like the stairs. They are scary.

July 2008

My people talk about how I might be bored. They think that may be why I run away and bark. I don't know what bored means but I like to run and bark.

August 2008

My people cooked chicken outside today. I like chicken. I ate two. Then my people saw me and took the rest inside.

October 2008

My people put up a fence and let me out of my dog run. Now I can run a lot. I found a place where I could get out and I ran away. I like to run. My big hairy boy put something in the hole. Now I can't run away.

January 2009

My kids people played in the snow with me today. We had a lot of fun. They left their sleds outside for me to chew. I tore them up really good. I love my people. Next time I see them, I will sniff between their legs. They like that.

June 2009

The snow is all gone. I found mud. I dug. Soon I saw a hole under the fence. I crawled through and ran away. My hairy boy covered up the hole. I dug a new one. He covered it up again. I dug a new one. He covered it up again. I did this a lot. I like this game. I am glad my boy plays it with me.

I killed a snake today. It was very, very long and green. When it died it bled water. It was very, very strange.


July 2009

I like to dig. My big hairy boy doesn't pat me on the head as much anymore.

I killed another snake today. This one was black and long. When it died, it bled water. I was so hot I rolled around on the spurt. I feel better now.


July 2009

My hairy boy put down cement squares. I tried to dig under them. All I got was dirt. When my people open the gate, I run away. I love to run.

August 2009

Today I dug by the fence. I dug and dug. I found pipes. Maybe I dug to China.

I found a new place to dig. The dirt is softer in this place. I dug and found carrots. I don't like to eat the carrots but I like to dig them up! My mom people taught me new words today. I don't know what they mean.


August 2009

I still bark. I still dig. I still smell people between their legs. My mom people called me "diabolical." I think that means I'm wonderful and she loves me. Maybe I will kill another snake and give it to her.

  3. Fantastic. And so familiar - "Diabolical" must be the soul sister of our beast "Complete Maniac."

Braces!

13 year old got braces today! She also had a little helper on her.

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...

Wordful Wednesday and Clever Much? Rarely!

Sometimes my brilliance blinds me! Speaking of brilliance, before we continue this discussion, if you are my mother in law, stop reading. Walk away. At least until after Christmas. Seriously. My own mother doesn't read my blog. I think it has something to do with words like "socially awkward" and "mortifying." She knows me. She doesn't have to read about me. She can just pretend like I turned out normal. Anyway, if the mother-in-law has exited the website, check out what she's getting for Christmas! TADA! I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
