As I was saying earlier, Duke and I had a busy morning and now we're hanging out. At 5 am the alarm went off, some nice classical stuff that my monkey slept through. Duke had been awake for hours, as usual. He's a night owl.
[Hey Duke- wanna say anything to that?]
He's on his way over to the laptop. Woops- right into the table... Yesterday he stepped on my nice Emile Henry food bowl and broke it. Now I feel like I'm in prison eating out of a stainless steel bowl. At least this way I eat first. Okay here he is
it was an accident jj. i didn't see the bowl it was not where it usually is next to the wall. i'm very sorry. i can't wait to get up and enjoy each and every day i am given now. with a new home and a loving big brother like jj i can't wait to do stuff together. can we play with my rubber chicken now jj?
Sniff- all misty eyed now... okay all over it.
So anyways we were up at the crack-O-dawn to run on the track with our elite tri team. I'm a faster runner than all of them, Duke isn't faster than me but what he lacks in speed he makes up for in variability by changing directions by like 90º every few steps! Zip, zip, zip
sorry, can't help it.smelling my way along. is it time to play yet?
Yeah, speaking of smelling did you use conditioner after our swim at the beach this morning? You really should to keep your fur shinny and soft.
really? i don't like baths. is my fur still white and brown like it was before? can we play now
No kidding, who would have guessed? Hillbilly. And yeah you still looks like a mud splattered dalmatian.
sorry jj, i'll try harder to stay clean. will you play with me now? where is the chicken?
I have to tell you guys about Duke and his rubber chicken, its like his soother and safety blanket in one.
As soon as he gets the chicken he mellows right out and chews on it. This thing has no face, stumps for legs, super smelly and is just nasty. When we go to the park Duke carries it the whole way there, then I steal it and run off! Its hilarious as he sniffs it out. Did it tell you its that smelly? At times I squeeze it and it squeaks and he homes in on it like any red blooded dogger shouldAnyways I stand there as Duke barrels down on me and I squeak away on the chicken. At the last second I stop the squeaking... I pivot... and Duke tears past me.
Olé! I love this game! Not bullfighting mind you, that's cruel and bullying. And I hate bullies, on behalf of my little bro Duke too.ooohhhh so that's what you're doing. that's sneaky jj. do you know where the chicken is jj?
After a while I get bored and let Duke have the chicken and the poor guy literally drops to the ground panting and drooling.
its hard work sniffing out the chicken. its not easy. although when you fart i can smell you instead. i like playing together
Woah! Easy now big guy, I don't fart, and if by some chance I did it would smell nice. Like buffalo and tripe or venison.
mmmm venison and offal. wanna play now?
Oh man! Quit drooling on the keyboard you rube!
what's a rube jj?
Don't worry about it Duke. Let's find your chicken. Why don't you look in the other room while I nap here?
Later all,
the Gaffer
& duke
