Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

(from the voice of Spencer)

 

                                                                                                                                                 (Tasha speaking)

Raindrops keep falling on my head! (sings Spencer)

Spencer, just what are you singing? asks Tasha

I’m singing about raindrops falling on my head. replies Spencer.

                                                                                                                                           

But, why? asks tasha, you hate water. You can’t stand getting your feet wet and you run and hide everytime the family turns on the water, Tasha says teasingly.

Well, it’s hot, just too hot here and I feel like I’m going to melt away. So, even though I don’t want to get wet, singing the song makes me feel better, says Spencer

I think all this heat is beginning to to make you a little nutty Spencer. Oh! wait, you already are nuts, says Tasha with a bark.

 

footnote: With record high temperatures in the valley soaring to 115 degrees make sure your pets have lots of clean water available to drink.

 

 

 

The Vet Bill

(and from the voice of Sassy)

 

 

A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she lay her pet on the

table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird’s chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, “I’m sorry, your pet has passed away.”

 

The distressed owner wailed, “Are you sure? “Yes, I’m sure. The duck is dead,” he replied. “How can you be so sure?” she protested. “I mean, you haven’t done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something.”

 

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few moments later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck’s owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog and took it out and returned a few moments later with a beautiful cat. The cat jumped up on the table and also sniffed the bird from its peak to its tail and back again. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly, jumped down and strolled out of the room.

 

The vet looked at the woman and said, “I’m sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely 100% certifiably, a dead duck,” Then the vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman.

 

The duck’s owner, still in shock, took the bill. “$150!” she cried, “$150 just to tell me my duck is dead?” The vet shrugged. “I’m sorry. If you’d taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20. But what with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it all adds up.”

Guess who came back?

 

 

 

 

 

(from the voice of Sassy the cat)

That darn bird from last year is back and everytime I go out the front door he dive bombs for me and I have yet to catch him. He must be protecting another nest again and sits on the roof of the houses and watches for trouble.

One of these days he’ll be sorry and I won’t have to eat cat food for dinner.

Dog for Sale on e-bay

 

(from the voice of Sassy)

I got even for those dogs barking at me, I had a friend over and we got into some trouble on the computer.

Although, I’m not telling which dog I sold, you’ll just have to guess.

 

Stop Barking!

 

 

(from the voice of Spencer)

 

He who barks the longest gets yelled at first.

Mom says stop barking Spencer, but how can I tell her that I hear a noise and I’m protecting the perimeter of our house.

Freedom from the Yard, Priceless!

(from the voice of Tasha)

We got to go for a walk last night and it felt really good to get out of the house. But Spencer, he’s such an old fart, instead of walking he decided to lay down in the middle of the street and catch a few winks. Anybody want a dumb lazy dog?

                                                                                                               

 

Things That Go Bump in the Night

(from the voice of Sassy)

I blew my curfew last night and stayed out all night. It’s been a long time since I had an adventure. I could hear mom calling me at 11 p.m., but I had no intention of spending another night in the garage. I was already walking through the neighborhood, feeling confident that I wouldn’t be harassed by any of those bad boy cats. Since, I was spayed I don’t have to worry about date rape anymore.

Normally, every night I return from whatever adventure I’ve had shortly after 11 p.m. Most nights, though, I just end up sitting on top of the mailbox at the end of the driveway until mom opens the door to let me in. The mailbox is flat like Snoopy’s doghouse in the Adventures of Charlie Brown.

Here’s a timeline of my adventure;

11:00 – 1:00 a.m.
I took off walking in the cool night air and walked and walked and got some much needed exercise. It seems I’m getting too fat to squeeze through small spaces.

1:00 – 3:00 a.m.
The night creatures came out, and had to hide in the bushes from a possum, I did’t want to mess with that one, it wasbig and ugly. I heard coyotes off in the distance howling or was it the dogs that I live with? When Spencer and Tasha start that howling upon hearing ambulance sirens they can make enough noise to wake the dead. Had the most fun at the farm when I woke up the sleeping animals. The farm is about a mile from the house.  I gave a good scare to that old Tom Turkey and some of those hens. Oh! They had their wings flapping and were running all over their pen and I just sat out side the pen, there’s no way I could have gotten in, since it’s pretty secure, but those dumb fowl didn’t know that. I didn’t eat any of them as I didn’t have the craving for wild bird at that moment. 

3:00 – 5:00 a.m.
Met up with some of the old girls in the neighborhood and got to hear the local gossip about who is dating whom now.  These girls just keep having one litter of kittens after another. I feel sorry for them, as I have so much freedom now.

5:00 – 5:30 a.m.
It got really cold at this hour and I found myself suddenly tired so I slept for a while in the bushes.

5:30 – 6:00 a.m.
I was sick of being outside all these hours and sleeping in the bushes wasn’t as comfortable as sleeping in my bed in the garage and having my food waiting for me.

6:00 – 7:00 a.m.
I meowed for an hour outside mom’s window before she let me in the house. That woman sleeps like a rock, finally, she let me in the house and I went straight to my bed in the garage. I think I’ve had enough of staying out all hours.

Good Night All, think I will sleep till the sun goes down.

The Heartbroken Kitty

(from the voice of Sassy)

Okay! Mom, it’s time to take down the dogs picture next to the blogger award. Yeah, yeah! I know we got the blogger award, but having to look at those dogs ugly pictures for over a week is really annoying me. How come you didn’t put my picture next to the award? You really do love those dogs more than me, now, I’m heartbroken, but don’t worry mom you can make it up to me by letting me sit in your lap until I get tired of using it.

It’s a Mouse, It’s a Bone, No, it’s a Blogger Award

  

                   

(from the voice of Spencer & Tasha)

Hey Spencer! Look at what mom got. It’s an award for blogging, it’s called Bloggers of the Year Award said Tasha. It was given to us by 4urpets.

So, what are supposed to do with that button on the screen? Can I chew on it, I could use a good bone about now groaned Spencer.

No, Spencer it’s just going to sit off to the side of the blog, it’s for all mom’s hard work on this blog.

But, she doesn’t do much except play around and she writes about us so she can get rich and famous.

Oh! Shut up Spencer you just don’t understand us girls. We like shiny objects. So be nice and enjoy the award.

Fine, but I still could use a bone.

We’re going to pass this award on to some of our friends;

Spencer’s Magic Number

 

 7 Things To Know About Spencer

Are we playing this silly game again? Appararently, mom was tagged to write seven things about us from 4urpets. Don’t know why she picked me, I have a yard to guard, but I’ll tell you what you need to know and then you can bother someone else.

I own the backyard and it’s all mine, even though Tasha thinks it’s her yard.

My human family took me home with them over five years ago. I was ten weeks old when I came to live with them. 

I like laying in the sun in the mid-morning hours while the sun rises in the sky

I take my job of guarding the yard very seriously

I really like the doghouse that my human family built for me, it sure beats the cardboard box that I used to live in when I was a puppy.

I often dream about sleeping on mom’s leather couches.

Some one in my family was a Chow Chow dog, because I have a black and purple tongue.

Now, that’s all you need to know about me, but if you must really continue this silly game go read some of these other sites so you can get of my way, I need to go bark at something.
