Diary of a dog named Ditzy: GETTING REAL WITH MAKE BELIEVE!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO ADD A LITTLE 'B-MOVIE' DRAMA TO YESTERDAYS POST,
BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS A REALLY FUN WAY,

TO HELP YOU WASTE A FEW MORE MINUTES OF YOUR DAY!

I MEAN IF YOU'RE ALREADY WASTING PART OF YOUR DAY READING A BLOG POST, ALLEGEDLY BEING WRITTEN BY SOMEONES PET ANYWAY...

THEN OBVIOUSLY...YOU ALREADY HAVE TIME TO WASTE, RIGHT?

SO...WHY NOT HAVE FUN WASTING IT! RIGHT?

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?

WE NEVER EVEN GOT INTO THE INSIDE PARK YESTERDAY!

THE PLACE WAS AS EMPTY AS KACI'S STOMACH IS MOST OF THE TIME...

(YOU CAN'T SNEAK IN THROUGH GATES LIKE YOUR PART OF ANOTHER DOGS FAMILY,

IF NO OTHER DOGS FAMILIES SHOW UP!)

WE JUST STOOD OUTSIDE THE GATES,

LOOKING AROUND LIKE A PACK OF REALLY CUTE STRAYS,
WAITING FOR A WAY IN!

OH, AND THOSE PICTURES OF TIKA AND KACI IN THE PARK YESTERDAY?
OLD ONES!

AN ELDERLY COUPLE DID WALK UP TO US AT ONE POINT,

AT FIRST WE THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO OPEN THE GATES FOR US,

UNTIL WE HEARD THE OLD MAN TELL HIS WIFE,

"LET'S OPEN THE GATES AND GET THEM INSIDE,

AND THEN WE CAN GO HOME AND CALL THE DOG-CATCHER!"

DOG-CATCHER!

WHO SAY'S DOG-CATCHER ANYMORE?

WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?

IF YOU OPEN ONE OF THE GATES TO TRAP US...AND IT WORKS,

(WHICH IT WON'T... BECAUSE YOU PROBABLY THINK, AS SLOW AS YOU DRIVE),

WOULDN'T WE AT THAT POINT, ALREADY BE...'CATCHED DOGS?'

WE TOOK OFF LIKE WE WAS LATE FOR DINNER Y'ALL!

WHEN DEE AND THE BIG GUY FINALLY GOT BACK FROM THE MOVIES,

DEE SCOOPED ME UP AND PUT ME IN HER LAP,

TO HELP HER CHOOSE AN APPROPRIATE WINE FOR DINNER.

(APPARENTLY.. IF I LOOK AT ONE BOTTLE MORE THAN THE OTHER..

THE UNIVERSE HAS SPOKEN!)

FOR DEE. CHOOSING THE RIGHT WINE FOR DINNER..

.WAS JUST THAT EASY Y'ALL!

NOT ME FOLKS!

I WOULD WANT TO KNOW...
WHAT KIND OF PROTEIN SHE WAS PLANNING TO SERVE?

WHAT KIND OF VEGETABLE SELECTION SHE HAD IN MIND?

WAS SHE LOOKING FOR A BOUQUET THAT'S LIGHT AND AIRY,?

PIG-HEADED AND BRASH?

EARTHY AND MAGICAL?

I STARED AT THE RED ONE AGAIN,

AND HENCE FORTH,

MADE WAY FOR THE WORLD...TO MOVE ON!

WELL,

YOU CERTAINLY CAN'T SERVE A CHARDONNAY WITH HOT DOGS AND BEANS RIGHT?
I MEAN, HOW BARBARIC WOULD THAT BE?

IF ANY OF YOU READERS OUT THERE, EVER FIND YOURSELF FACING THIS VERY SAME KIND OF DINNER DILEMMA, HERE'S WHAT I SUGGEST YOU DO...

HAVE A GLASS OF EACH AND GO THINK ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE!

DEE PUT ME DOWN ON THE FLOOR AGAIN,
AND WENT BACK OUT TO HER OFFICE FOR A WHILE TO DO A LITTLE WORK,
SO I JUMPED BACK UP ON THE BAR STOOL AND STARTED BLOGGING AGAIN!

I KEPT HEARING SOME STRANGE SOUND,
COMING FROM OUT ON THE BACK PORCH SOMEWHERE?

I TURNED MY EAR'S IN THAT DIRECTION AND LISTENED AGAIN,

IT WAS QUIET..THE NOISE WAS GONE!
.I RETURNED TO MY BLOG!

PLEASE DON'T ASK ME FOR DETAILS ABOUT RETURNING TO MY BLOG
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THE WHOLE THING IS A LITTLE BLURRY!

GOOD USE OF A BAD PHOTO RIGHT!

I HEARD THE NOISE AGAIN,

AND DECIDED TO JUMP DOWN AND INVESTIGATE!

KACI WAS IN THE LIVING ROOM,

SCOURING THE FLOOR FOR SOMETHING TO EAT...

LIKE A STRAY KIBBLE SOMEONE DROPPED,
OR MAYBE A RACCOON THAT ACCIDENTALLY WANDERED INTO THE HOUSE,
THROUGH THE DOGGY DOOR BY MISTAKE....

TIKA WAS IN THE RECLINER WATCHING TV...

AND MERLIN WAS KNEE DEEP IN CONVERSATION WITH HIS REFLECTION IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BLINDS!

THAT LEFT ONLY MOLLY UNACCOUNTED FOR...

I WALKED OVER TO THE DOGGY DOOR TO LISTEN A LITTLE CLOSER,

                                            AND HEARD IT ONCE AGAIN!

                     I WENT THROUGH THE DOGGY DOOR AND DOWN THE STEPS...

                                THE SOUND WAS COMING FROM MY RIGHT SIDE!
