Gracie Girl's Conversation- As She Scolds Bobo the Toy Thief

(Gracie is talking to Bobo about his inconsiderate behavior and how she is tired of him stealing her toys. Gracie is sitting on the lawn in the backyard while Bobo is ignoring her)

Gracie Girl: "Bobo I am sick and tired of the way you steal all of my toys when Dad and I are playing and especially after I do all the work to retrieve them."

Bobo: "What are you talking about?" "I don't do that, you are exaggerating!"

Gracie Girl: "I am not exaggerating!" "You always steal my toys and I am sick of it?"

Bobo: "Get over it!" "If you can't handle it that is your problem and besides you don't know what you are talking about I don't steal toys."

Gracie Girl: "I am going to get Dad and he can tell you the truth, you big toy stealer." "I swear you're a spoiled brat who gets away with everything because Mom and Dad feel bad for you because you're a Rescue Dog they adopted, but not anymore, it ends now, as you have been caught on tape!"

Bobo: "Cry Baby, Cry Baby, Wah Wah Wah!"

Gracie Girl: "I am rubber you're glue whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you"

Bobo: "Loser!"

Gracie Girl: "Dad! Bobo is picking on me and I am tired of him stealing all my toys and taking them. He says he doesn't but I know he does. You Believe Me Right, Dad?"

Dad: "Bobo leave your sister alone!"

Bobo: "Dad she is crazy and she is attacking my character. I am not a ball hog, or toy stealer as she calls me. Now she is talking behind my back to Jake the Cat and telling him not to talk to me until I apologize to her, and frankly I don't have anything to apologize for!"

Dad: "Well Bobo lets check out the video from last summer's vacation and you can decide if you need to apologize."

(Bobo and Gracie Girl sits quietly while dad pulls out the video from their vacation last summer.)

Dad: "Where is that video, Bobo did you delete it? Ah here it is."



Dad: "Now what do you have to say for yourself Bobo?"

Bobo: "Gracie Girl you just don't understand how the brother/sister relationship works!"

Dad: "Both of you enough already, now lick and make up, leave me alone and go wrestle in the grass or something. Oh and Bobo, let your sister win once in awhile!"

Bed Hogs Gracie Girl's Conversation with Dad

Conversation with Dad:

Gracie: "Dad we know that you let Bobo and I sleep in the bed with you and Mom. Trust us we really appreciate it. But seriously, what gives with the Queen Size Bed?"

"Don't give me that look Dad."

Dad: "What Look?"

Gracie: "The one like I know that you know what I know and you know what is coming next."

Dad: "No look, what are you talking about?"

Gracie: "Let me finish"

"Seriously Dad, Bobo and I have so little room in the bed that half the time we end up laying between your legs or making a sandwich out of Mom only to have you get upset and make us get down. It's not like we are trying to make you upset, but we simply have no room. We are after all, as you know, 210 pounds of dog, with two heads, slobbering tongues, four ears, eight legs, and two wiggling butts. We really need more room."

Dad: (Sighs)

Gracie: "So in order to bring back the cohesiveness and comfort at bedtime, Bobo and I have decided that effective immediately, you are going to have to sleep on the couch."

Dad: "YOU AND BOBO DECIDED!!"

Gracie: "Don't yell Dad, let me finish!"

Dad: "Where is Bobo in all of this? Why isn't he here talking about this too?

Gracie: "He's hiding in the bath tub."

Dad: "Uh Huh! That Figures."

Gracie: "Now we know it will take some getting use to. But think of this logically.

You already fall asleep on the couch most afternoons. There is two of us and only one of you. The couch is not big enough for both Bobo and I to sleep on but it would be just fine for you to sleep on."

"Don't walk away Dad hold on there mister."

"I know you are wondering why you and not Mom?"

Dad: "Okay why me?"

Gracie: "Well that is easy. Mom gives us treats in bed and belly rubs. Plus she doesn't mind if we drool a little and leave crumbs in the bed. Also you told Mom a long time ago no crackers in bed, so we made the decision to keep her and not you."

"Don't be the Drama King Dad"

"Yes Dad of course we still love you, and we want to be your dogs, but Mom smells better, is smaller than you and much softer too."

(Dad turns to leave mumbling incoherently)

Gracie: "Dad wait where are you going? Don't leave! What did you say Dad?"

Dad: "Going to "Sit N Sleep for a bigger bed."

(Gracie turns her attention to Mom who was eavesdropping on the conversation from around the corner of the hall)

Gracie: "We did it Mom."

Mom: "Great job Gracie Girl! I love it when a plan comes together. New bed is coming! Woo Hoo a new bed a new bed!"

Bobo's Kong Tips!

Hi Everybody, it's Bobo here, and I have to say I don't like being considered a food hound, so in order to clean up this mess I wanted to let you know that there is a time when I am a much slower chewer.

It comes in the evening when my mean Parents put a snack of kibble in my Kong. Now Kong makes a good product but seriously, why do I have to work so hard to get that yummy delicious kibble.

First they take and pour in a cup of kibble. Then they take a piece of Kraft Cheese and cover my kibble with inside the Kong. Next they put in a spoon full of peanut butter and cover the hole so it is all stuck in there nice and tight. Guess what they do next which is seriously the mean part, they FREEZE IT for 4 hours so it's hard and cold.

Then they give it to me to work at and try to empty it. I love my Parents and the Kong and the treats inside it, but why oh why must they freeze it so it makes me work so hard? Talk about a mental challenge to work at getting it out and then I am just drained.

I want to go on record Mom and Dad, thanks for the Kong filled with goodies, but please I am not a food hound as Gracie Girl would have you believe and I would love to be able to finish those treats inside the Kong in two minutes instead of the three hours it takes me.

Hugs from Bobo!

"Bobo" the Modern Pavlov's Dog

Gracie Girl here and I wanted to talk about food. If Bobo wrote about this tantalizing, tasty and drool inducing subject he'd have a lot to salivate and bark about.

My brother is such a food hound. The sight or smell of food sends him into a tizzy. If he even hears what he thinks is any sort of food wrapper he is "Johnny on the Spot", right up on the person who has it, wiggling his butt, tongue hanging out his mouth with drool a mile long. GROSS!!

He acts as though he never gets fed. Our parents and human big sister (Meaghan) sit down at the table to eat dinner and Bobo paces between Mom and Dad's chairs and then Dad and big sister's chairs begging for food. Even going as far as resting his head on the table and looking at them with his big brown eyes salivating in anticipation that he will get treated to a nibblet. I, on the other paw, will just sit there patiently waiting for them to finish. Although I do admit doing so in the hopes that any little morsel of human food will jump off one of their plates and onto the floor for me to snag without Bobo noticing.

Mom is always telling Bobo to sit and lay down, which he does so on command. Then she expresses her delight in my behavior and tells Bobo to calm down and relax just as I do. She then tells me not to worry, Bo isn't getting anything and if he does we both will.






I swear, Bobo is just like that Russian Physiologist's dog that salivated at the ring of a bell. Bobo will salivate and drool at the sight, smell or sound of anything and everything FOOD!

Oh, I think I hear the sound of kibble hitting the bowls. Gotta run and devour the deliciousness of lamb before my brother finishes his and is onto mine!!

Mom and Dad Why Jake the Cat Must Go

Top Ten Reasons Why Jake the Cat Must Go!

10) He does nothing to help around the house or contribute to the family.
9) He sleeps all day and is the most lazy animal we have ever seen.
8) He eats on the counter, and leaves dirt paw prints on the clean tile.
7) He leaves cat hair on everything and our noses hate smelling him
6) He licks himself clean, but is so fat he can not reach his butt and then he struts around like a diva and tries to put it in our face.
5) He hisses and spits at us every single time we try to play with him.
4) He takes up way to much pillow space on the bed at night and you and Mommy ignore us for him.
3) He eats better than we do like Fish, Shrimp, Crab, and he never shares.
2) He poops and pees in a box filled with sand on the patio, how disgusting but you don't get mad at him. If we do it, oh boy the poop hits the fan.

And the Number One Reason Why Jake the Cat Must Go!

1) He Hates Us!

Here is a video and fine example of his complete uselessness and laziness.

Please Mom and Dad Jake Must Go for All Our Sakes.

Lazy Hot Days

Here is a tip you may not have thought of for those lazy hot summer days when your dog much like Bobo and Gracie Girl don't want to do much.

Join them...lol! No, just kidding. Seriously though, everyone has to water their lawn. We all try and conserve water, but while you are watering your lawn, let the dogs out in the backyard for a romp through the sprinklers. They will cool off, you will get a big laugh at theirs and possibly your expense but all in all, it's a win/win situation.

Just be sure to have towel handy prior to starting...

Hugs from Bobo and Gracie Girl!
