The Good and Bad of Play-dates

Hi Everyone, it’s Awesome and I am so happy to be on here to tell you about my play-date!!!

Where do I start my story of the good and bad of a play-date?

Let’s start with The Friend’s puppy’s name. I don’t know it. No one ever bothers to tell me, and I should know it, we are friends. But I think I figured out what his name is. See, I was watching A&E the other day, as mom had left it on. I think A&E stands for Abuse & Education. I saw that Dog the Bounty Hunter show. Of course I am not sure why that man is called that, he is clearly not a dog.  But I got why it was on Abuse & Education channel, because Dog the Bounty Hunter yells and swears and throws people down, that would be the abuse part, then for the eduction part he goes on and on about how much he loves them. What a great guy!! You can never have too much love!! But after that show, a program about crack cocaine came on.  That was very informative, and I now know The Friend’s puppy’s name.

The Friend’s puppy’s name is Cracky. We have a lot of fun, and I was so excited to finally know his name on the play-date!! So Dad takes me over to see Cracky, I am excited and happy to see Cracky, but Cracky is crazy! We play and play and I am so happy, but I get tired and lay down and Cracky just climbs over me and bites me to keep playing. I am not sure why A&E didn’t talk about the effect of crack on puppies.

I really need a friend like the one I saw on TV a little bit ago, this bouncy guy by the name of Tigger. He looks to be a great friend for a play-date.

GOOD: Play-dates are fun, even with Cracky, because I love his energy.

BAD: Cracky can be a bit much even for happy and playful me!

Why My Brother Is An Idiot

Hey, it’s Dog and I realized I can no longer keep mom’s blog visitors in the dark.

Awesome…is an idiot.

I know, EVERYONE LOOOOOVEEES him. Well you don’t see what I see.

My brother...Awesome(ly an idiot)

Example 1: Awesome couldn’t get into the house from the backyard the other day because an extension cord was in his way. That is correct, he was AFRAID to step over it. So he barked until mom came and got him.

Example 2: Mom built a block wall thing in the backyard, it’s about a foot high. Awesome can’t seem to bring himself to jump over it, so he walks alllllllll the way around it.

Example 3: A few days ago Awesome pooped, then turned around to smell it and almost fell in the pile of his own poo.

Example 4: Awesome nearly swallowed a tennis ball on accident. (Don’t worry. Stop worrying. He got those thrown away and replaced with larger tennis balls).

Of course, even though I find my brother to be an idiot, doesn’t mean Mom does. Nope, she still loves Awesome more than M&M’s in her popcorn and bare-feet. Go figure.

Puppy Interviews Dog

Puppy here, and I am ready to thrill you all with my interview of Dog!! You will be amazed!! I will do just as Dog did and set this here, recorder down and let it pick up what we are talking about. As you can already tell I’ve matured and am no longer trying to eat the recorder.

Puppy: Dog, come in here.

Dog: What do you want?

Puppy: Interview time!!

Dog: Okay I’ll bite. You aren’t afraid Mom will find you in here.

Puppy: Nope, not this time. I made her take me to the dog park, for a walk, throw the ball, and give me a bath. Mommy won’t be waking from her nap anytime soon.

Dog: I wish I could take a nap. Go on Puppy, what do you want to know?

Puppy: Don’t you think it is cool that we play train?

Dog: No! You are always the caboose and always have your nose right up in my caboose.

Puppy: I don’t get it.

Dog: Nevermind. Why don’t you tell the nice visitors about what happened to the pool?

Puppy: Oh the pool. I didn’t think Mommy would notice the hole.

Dog: Well when she fills it up with water and it comes shooting out the bottom, I gather she would put it together rather fast that you popped three more holes in the bottom of it.

Puppy: Maybe we should talk about your constant need to bark!

Dog: Just doing my job, but I’m not sure why you have to join in with me, it’s not choir practice.

Puppy: What’s choir practice? Is that food? Is choir a food? Like bacon practice? Oh my B A C O N!

Dog: Anything else you wanna ask me? I’m tired.

Puppy: Do you love me Dog?

Dog: I tolerate you Puppy…tolerate.

Puppy:  Tolerate, is that like love Dog?

Dog: In a way…yes.

Dog Interviews Puppy

Dog here.

So a nice lady by the name of Cheri suggested I interview Puppy. Why? I’m not entirely sure, but I’m going to take a shot in the dark and say because every one lovvvveeeesssss Puppy. Whatever!

So I got out the microphone and set up everything to record. Below you will find the transcript. Please try not to make me puke with “oh how cute is Puppy” comments.

Thanks, Dog

Dog: Okay Puppy, so I’m going to interview you and you just talk into the – no Puppy don’t eat the microphone. Puppy! Gosh dang it! No don’t lick it either, just leave it. Leave it! LEAVE IT!

Puppy: Sorry it looks yummy. Wait, why are you big in the picture and I’m all small and far away?! Are you actually smiling?

Dog: Nevermind the picture. First question Puppy, you enjoy putting an array of objects into your mouth, have you ever considered being a spokes-puppy for Orbit gum?

Puppy: Orbit gum. No, I don’t think gum is on Mommy’s approved food list. Why?

Dog: Dirty mouth! Clean it up with – oh nevermind. Okay next question. How did you master the skill of holding two tennis balls in your mouth and peeing at the same time?

Puppy: I do that?! WOW that’s cool! Does Mommy know I do that?!

Dog: I think Mom knows you do that. Next question. No Puppy, don’t eat the microphone! Leave it! LEAVE IT!

Puppy: Sorry, I forgot.

Dog: Why is it that you bother me so much?

Puppy: I bother you? Really? Nah I’m just wanting you to play with me. You are so uptight. Is it cause you are old?

Dog: I don’t know. Are you annoying because you are young? Nevermind. Next question, did you intentionally learn how to spray water at me from the water bowl?

Puppy: I knew I had gotten you! HAHA. You acted like it never happened. Yes! Score! But I haven’t been able to do it since. It was cool though, you have to admit. I just got my mouth full with water and lifted my face out of the bowl just in time and BOOM a personal water pistol. I got you twice, it was so cool!

Dog: Should we really still be referring to you as Puppy on Mom’s blog? You are as big as me now.

Puppy: I am only 8 months old. So I’m not even a year yet. Once I turn a year old maybe we can just call me Awesome! Dog, your eyes just did something funny. What was that? They all went around, like rolling.

Dog:  Nevermind that. Any final words Puppy?

Puppy: Everyday is an adventure, so get out there and enjoy it. What about you Dog?

Dog: Everyday is an opportunity for a nap, so don’t bother those who are trying to take one.

Puppy: Are we done? Can I eat the microphone now?

Dog: Yes and NO!

Puppy: Yes and no what? I’m confused. Can we play, oh let’s get Mommy to get out our pool!

Dog: You busted a hole in that thing Puppy.

Puppy: She doesn’t know, it’s a slow leak. Come on! Help me bug her! Come on! Come on! COME ON!!!
