Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere. ~Chinese proverb
I Monkey here.
Well, I finally pushed Mama to the end of her rope with my monkey-shenanigans, and she retaliated by signing me up for Puppy School.
Huh.
We got there early so I could check out the classroom.
Time is like the wind, it lifts the light and leaves the heavy. ~Doménico Cieri Estrada, Mexican writer
I Monkey here.
My mama is beside herself these days with projects, so I’ve volunteered to post on her blog for her.
I know, I’m nice that way.
Take a look at this picture:
Memory only slumbers—never dies. ~Thomas Paine, English-born American Founding Father and political activist
My soul-dog Dallas has been at the Rainbow Bridge for nearly three-and-a-half years now, and not a single day has passed that I haven’t thought of him.
If you have a job without any aggravations, you don’t have a job. ~Malcolm S. Forbes, American entrepreneur and politician
Here I am, overseeing the garden,
Watching Mama’s pretty plants,
Chasing cute little bunnies away,
Listening to the birdies’ chants.
I’m lying in this patch of dirt
Beside the rolled-up garden hose,
Always attentive to my Mama,
No matter wherever it is she goes.
This morning she tried to walk my legs off,
Strolling around at break of day.
Don’t you think I’ve earned a rest?
Shouldn’t I really get a say?
Not around here, I’ve gotta complain.
Mama’s the alpha — the boss — she notes.
I’m just a little Monkey, you see.
Is it fair, the way she gloats?
Here’s a warning for other pups:
Choose wisely the job you want to do,
Else you’ll find yourself just like me,
Wishing for peace and a bone to chew.
Note: This is some sort of rhyming verse.
Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many. ~Author unknown
I Monkey here.
It’s been chaotic of late, so Mama has let me take over her blog again. (Besides, I have w-a-a-a-y more interesting things to say, heh heh!)
Many people quit looking for work when they find a job. ~Author unknown
I Monkey here.
For a long time (I’m two, so that’s a long time!), I’ve been trying to figure out what my job is around these parts.
In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four-and-twenty hours. ~Mark Twain, American writer, humorist, and entrepreneur
Raining again, Mama?
Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is. ~German proverb
I Monkey here.
I ask you, Have you ever seen anything more terrifying than this:
Sometimes you can head off a decision you’ll regret by looking into your heart and finding regret already there. ~Robert Brault, American author
Gee, can’t a dog get any sleep around here without somebody sticking a camera in his face??
After spending two full years sitting on the fence over whether to keep Monkey or return him to his breeder, I’ve finally made a decision.
I Monkey here.
Mama is spinning around like some kind of cyclone, so I decided to snatch her laptop and catch you all up on what’s going on.
(It’s a cinch she won’t because she’s still grousing that she hasn’t written a decent sentence since I Monkey came to live with her. Huh!)
