The other night when we were all piled-up on the bed with the animals, we spoke for the dog.
Dogs do communicate in their own way. Sometimes we really wish Sadie could speak our language.
But think about it.
Really think about it.
If dogs could talk, THEY WOULD NEVER SHUT UP.
DADDY’S UP!
GOOD MORNING DADDY!
I LOVE YOU!
YOUR CROTCH SMELLS TERRIFIC!
I will go lie with Mama now. Goin to lie with Mama, goin to lie with Mama… Uh oh, Catticus, walkin closer to the wall, walkin closer to the wall. MAMA! Catticus so mean!
I love you Mama!
“Aw, Sadie, I love you.”
No pet Clara. No, am prettier. No, am sweeter. Go away Clara! How you say you love me and pet her?
Dammit Clara, I just try to help you clean your butt!
“Sadie, Off!”
No be mean Moo! I was here first! You guys, no! No fair! All humans and cats on warm, soft bed, all pettings and snuggles and me down here on floor all alone and HAHA! Cletus, they don’t want you, either!

Don’t leave. No leave. No. Sadie go?
“Puppy not go.”

HI! HI! HI! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH! HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME LIKE THAT! I THOUGHT YOU NEVER COME HOME!

Yes! Let’s go out! I not be out in so long! Back off Cletus! Cletus not go!
“Did Puppy make a boom boom?”
Yes, I make a boom boom. I made two, but I know you can’t math.
“You wanna cookie?”
Yes, want a cookie! Love cookies!
“Who is the best dog ever?”
I am the BEST DOG EVER!
“Lie down.”
OKAY! Hey, this only half a cookie. Is whole cookie for two boom booms too much math for you?!
I want some toothpaste. I want some mouthwash. The moisturizer smells good, too. Oh no, no noisy shoes. Oh no, no, you’re gonna leave me aren’t you?
I prepare my crate for sad nap. I will carry in this bone and hey, is that paper plate from danish? Oh yeah, that’s comin with me. If Cletus can drink cold coffee, I can have plate.
Um, HELLO!?! You not close my crate. Have no cookie. No meat. Not even a handful of peas. Am good dog and demand structure! DID YOU NOT SEE ME IN MY CRATE WAITING? DO YOU SEE ME NOW?!?
“Crap. I’m sorry Dog Dog.”

OH MY GOD TURKEY TURKEY TURKEY TURKEY! I love you! You the best!
“Be good. Girls be home soon. Love you.”

Oh I think you could. Have you ever read Socks by Beverly Cleary? Cat is narrator.
That’s been one of my favorite books since I was maybe 6 or 7. I reread it now and again for comfort.

I have not read that book! I’ll have to look it up. I tried to write a book with Butthead’s voice, but I wanted to include pictures of her doing things. Unfortunately, it’s hard to catch the candid things unless you are following her around with a camera. And I can’t draw worth doodly, so I can’t do a cartoon version either.

I agree. Usually when they do the cutest things, I don’t have a camera at hand.
You should read Socks. So cute. All the feels. ❤
