HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

I SAT DOWN ON DEE'S LAP ON THE WAY BACK HOME,

   AND THOUGHT A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE DOG PARK

.

                  I DIDN'T HATE THE DOG PARK, AND I DIDN'T LOVE THE DOG PARK.

THE WHOLE CONCEPT JUST DIDN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE TO ME...

  WHY WOULD ALL THESE PEOPLE, BRING ALL THESE DOGS TO A DOG PARK,

 AND THEN NOT PARK ANY OF THEM?

WAIT A MINUTE! WAIT A MINUTE!

 COULD I HAVE POSSIBLY MISUNDERSTOOD WHERE DEE SAID WE WERE GOING TODAY?

WITH THESE EARS, I DOUBT IT..

  BUT STILL...

 WHAT IF SHE DIDN'T SAY WE WERE ALL GOING TO THE DOG 'PARK' TODAY,

  BUT INSTEAD, SAID WE WERE ALL GOING TO THE DOG 'BARK' TODAY?

THAT WOULD CERTAINLY EXPLAIN THE 2 HOUR COMPETITION BARK-FEST WE JUST LEFT THAT I'LL STILL BE HEARING FOR THE NEXT WEEK AND A HALF!

 THAT HAS TO BE IT!

 IT'S NOT WHERE YOU TAKE YOUR DOGS TO 'PARK!'

IT'S WHERE YOU TAKE YOUR DOGS TO 'BARK!'

BUT...WHY?

 IT ALSO EXPLAINS WHAT DEE MEANT WHEN SHE TOLD THE BIG GUY.

 TO CHECK OUT ALL THE OPEN BARKING SPACES THERE WERE,

 WHEN WE FIRST PULLED INTO THE BARKING LOT...

 I JUST WANTED TO GET BACK HOME TO MY HOUSE FULL OF LOVE, 

MY NICE COMFY CHAIR, AND A BRAND NEW BALL,

THAT STILL HAS THAT NEW BALL SCENT!

(IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER'N THAT Y'ALL!)

THE MINUTE I WALKED IN THE HOUSE, I CAME UP WITH THE IDEA,
 TO MAKE A 2014, NEW YEARS CALENDER THAT REMINDS PEOPLE,

 TO TRY AND HAVE A BALL...ALL YEAR ROUND!
 WHAT DO YOU THINK?

NEVER MIND...

IT'S MY BLOG, AND I THINK THIS KIND OF STUFF, MAKES GREAT BLODDER!

 YES BLODDER! 

 WHAT IS BLODDER?

BLODDER IS FODDER FOR A BLOG!

AND YES, I AM COINING THAT PHRASE!

 I INTERRUPTED MY CAMERA GUY'S FOURTH CUPCAKE,

 AND JUMPED UP ON THE CHAIR WITH A BRAND NEW, HAIR-FREE BALL,

 AND STARTED POSING FOR THE CALENDER SHOOT!

 I THOUGHT JANUARY'S PHOTO SHOULD REMIND EVERYONE,
TO ENJOY THE TASTE OF HAVING A BALL NOW AND THEN!

SINCE FEBRUARY IS THE MONTH FOR LOVE...

I THOUGHT FEBRUARY SHOULD REMIND EVERYONE,

 TO 'GET COMFORTABLE' WITH THE IDEA OF HAVING A BALL,
 THROUGHOUT THE COMING YEAR!

I THOUGHT MARCH SHOULD REMIND EVERYONE TO STAND STRONG,

AND BE PROUD OF THEIR DECISION TO HAVE A BALL EVERY CHANCE THEY GET!

APRIL?

I THINK APRIL'S PHOTO SPEAKS FOR ITSELF,
 AND SIMPLY REMINDS US ALL TO SIMPLY RELAX,

 AND HAVE A BALL WHENEVER THE OPPORTUNITY ARISES!

I THOUGHT MAY SHOULD REMIND EVERYONE,

 TO NEVER FEEL GUILTY FOR HAVING A BALL!

 JUNE?

JUNE IS JUST A LITTLE REMINDER OF WHAT LIFE WILL BE LIKE;
 IF YOU DON'T HAVE A BALL THIS SUMMER!

 JULY'S PHOTO IS A REMINDER TO
'CHEW' ON THE IDEA OF HAVING A BALL FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR TOO!

TO ME THE AUGUST PHOTO SCREAMS...
NEVER TURN AWAY FROM A CHANCE TO HAVE A BALL!

SEPTEMBER?

ALWAYS KEEP THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A BALL CLOSE AT HAND!

OCTOBER?
 A LITTLE REMINDER TO JUST STAY FOCUSED ON HAVING A BALL ALL THE TIME!

NOVEMBER?
 'REST ASSURED' YOU DESERVE TO HAVE A BALL,
 WHENEVER YOU POSSIBLY CAN!

AND LASTLY..
I WANT DECEMBERS PHOTO TO REMIND EVERYBODY,
 WHO MIGHT BE CONSIDERING HAVING A BALL...

 TO AT LEAST...SLEEP ON IT!

LIKE I SAID Y'ALL!
 BLODDER!

YOU HAVE YERSELF A NICE DAY NOW AND WE'LL SEE YA NEXT TIME...
