The Turtles Invade NY

Not since the beatles sang for adoring fans at Shea Stadium in 1965 has New York seen an invasion like this. This time the culprits are the turtles.

Sadly it’s not the band, but the slow, methodical creature that has won every race against rabbits since the beginning of time. They’re also vagabonds that carry their home on their backs as well as making a great home made soup. Although faster than an S-Car (hey look at it go!), turtles are still too slow for air travel.

Finger Licking Good

Ever since I was a pup I’ve enjoyed going on car rides. Any dog that doesn’t like it probably has a little cat in its blood. I knew a dog like this once. Her name was Buttons. Enough said.

Anyway, when we’re out and about town, I sit in the back seat taking it all in. As we pass our local churches, I always point at them hoping for my parents to stop. It isn’t for a spiritual intervention I’m looking for, but rather to partake in the abundance of wine and dry crackers housed inside.

Seeing this, my mother always warns me, “Bo, if you point at a church, your paw will disappear!”

Bo Knows Jealousy

Dear Bo,

My humans are away and the computer was left on…

Dude, I stuck in between heaven (with a sweet young affectionate and still intact golden) and hell (a older gal with the attitude to match the name  “Princess”)

Now, I’m not complaining dude, I get soft floors and beds to sleep on, my choice of couches to laze on and lots of treats, good grub, massages and belly rubs, heh, I love belly rubs.

Better than my last gig, the county jail where I was on death row, you know, no one wants us older dudes. Well my crazy humans did.  So my problem man, how to I tell the lady I LIKE having my face licked, and all?

She keeps shooing the sexy bitch away from me.

Well time for my noon nap, it’s hard being an old dog you know.

Dear Chance,

You don’t have to tell me about how hard it is getting old. Why just this morning I woke up and forgot where I put my teeth forcing me to ‘gum’ down my morning kibble. At least I remembered where I put my hearing aid.

Anyway, to your question.

My sister Copper licks my face all the time, whether I’m in the mood or not. She’ll even pin my two front paws down with hers to keep me from moving. But hey, at least she does a great job of cleaning my eye boogers. Unlike yours, my parents don’t get involved at all.

Your lady should know that face licking in adult canines can be a sign of respect or deference to a more dominant dog. It doesn’t sound like you are more dominant, but just receiving a little bit of respect. You’re not Rodney Dangefield’s dog, after all. That fact, and knowing the average dog loves getting its face licked, should set her straight that this is a healthy practice.

Point her to this blog and tell her to give me a call if she needs more info to be set straight.

Well, it’s time for my nap now.

P.S. Make sure to tell your folks that Bo is very proud of them for adopting an older dog!!

Escaped Cat Strolls on Live TV Set

I’m an escape artist. Always have been, and I suspect, always will be.

The key to being an expert is to maintain a low profile. For instance when I dig under the fence to get out, I’ll dig a little each time I’m let outside making sure that no one is watching me.  After a few ‘gotta go pee-pee’ adventures outside and I’ve dug a hole big enough to crawl under.

No Place Like a Squirrely Home

I’m going to come right out and say it, I’m an ass dog.

If I see someone new, be it a dog, a cat or a human, I’m going to bury my face deep in the ass of that creature and take a big deep sniff. It’s the only way I can tell the character of that individual.

Let’s be honest, if you smell a load in a person’s underwear or spot a dingleberry hanging from a  cat’s behind, do you really need to know anything more about them? No! They’re clearly terrific ambassadors for all living things on mother earth!
