Excuses, excuses

I am thinking of running a competition for the most inventive excuses for not writing some dog's blog.

Mistress has come up with two this month - or rather last month.

1) She had to back up all the data onto a memory stick and reinstall the operating system because (IMO) she had done something silly so the printer didn't work.

2) She joined in something silly called National Write A Novel Month, which meant she had to whack out 50,000 words in a month.

Well, mistress I have news for you. Here is a perfectly good dogblog. If you want to write 50,000 words, how about writing them on here, huh?

Anyway, in between computer issues and novels, we all went for a walk and I said hello to one of my friends. See how friendly I am to smaller dogs? Nice Pippa.






But the other day we met an English bulldog. And I could see his teeth, and they looked FEARSOME. So I barked at him to let him know I wasn't afraid, and he ran behind his mistress's legs.

Misery didn't have the camera so there are no pics of him.

She managed to find the camera when I got my paw stuck though. A dog can't even go to sleep and get his paw stuck without getting a photo taken. The indignity.



And here I am in my den under the table.





No wonder I try to hide.

Well, poor Pipparoonie!

Misery has been working hard on the wrong thing totally.

You are far much more interesting. How could she ignore your blog in favour of a silly novel.

Especially the photo with your poor trapped footyfoot. It has a certain quality of vulnerability.

You certainly seem to like getting trapped in strange places.

love and many licks,
Marvin xx oh and yes, I swallowed a dick shun ary.

Pippa,

You're definitely worth the wait! You are a great GSD ambassador. What's with those human camera nuts? Can't they let us be silly without snapping a shot?

You're looking fabulous.

Loving Life,

Pippa, are you sure you're being nice to that little dog?? We can't tell, but we think you're looking at it like lunch! :) And do tell Mistress that we LOVE the idea of her 50,000 words being here--can't she write a novel that is about handsome dog's blog?!

Darling Pippa,
How did you manage to get your paw in your collar?

Maybe you need to come visit. Not that my momma has been doing very much with my blog either but she does wait on us hand and paw.

Poor Pippa. Doesn't Mistress realize your adoring public needs regular installments about your life? We don't care about Britnay or Branjolina ... we want to know what is happening with Pippa!

Sorry about the camera but we do love the pictures of you. Just consider it a unfortunate necessity for your fans.

Roxie, Sammy & Andy

Comet said...

Glad you are back. We don't like being hounded by the flashing cameras either, but if it means we get to blog, then we will do it. It's just the embarrassing pictures we don't like.

How did you get your paw stuck?

Cassidy said...

Wow, 50,000 words is a lot of words! No wonder she's been so busy.

Hi Pippa!

I'm Scottie...nice to meet you! Your Mom is really talented for writing a novel! Has she finished her novel by now? I'm sure it's very cool...*grins*

Will check back soon...hope you have a great day!

Scottie

Kathryn and Ari said...

Tell Mistress she should write the novel about you, dear Pippa. She could post the chapters on your blog and satisfy everyone.

Randi said...

Oh Dear Darling Pippa...you look so handsome...so alluring...so sweet....I miss you.

Can I submit my mom/secretary for excuses for not visiting my friends...? She hasn't even given any good excuses like your mistress, otherwise I'd pass them along...she's just a bad secretary. Good help is hard to find...especially around the holidays..

I think your paw paw looks very cute all caught in your chain...but I agree with you.. a pic was just completely unnecessary by your mistress...

I still love you though....

Love & Licks,
Randi

Oh Pippa, my friend. My mama's excuses just don't cut it either. Your pictures are amazing and you're so handsome, as always. Did you get your paw unstuck?

I hope your Mom is not going to keep you away for long again ... !!

Bye for now.

Helios said...

I totally understand you. My M likes to take all sorts of photos of me looking silly/ unglam/ ugly too.

Sunny,Scooter, (sometimes Jamie) said...

O>M?D Just saw the photo of your foot caught. Now I KNOW we can get big bucks(for toast and pizza) with a law suit. You were in DANGER and did she swoop down to help you?? NO. She took a silly pic first. (Sorry, the info about the lawsuit thing is on the next post-mom is going backwards-figures)
DO contact me. You may even be part of a class action suit....
Hugs
