Paw in the air, headache, and the FINGER


Furst we would like to thank our friend Sweet William fur the pawsome picture of me (Lassie) bouncing a Soccer ball.  Thank you Sweet William. 

The Blogville Barkers Soccer Team won the soccer tournament earlier this week (or was it last week.)  Well in any case, we won and have been celebrating ever since.


Mommy has been slacking posting comments to blogs.  Shame on Mommy.  We read blogs and we admit we didn't comment on some of them because our Mommy got LAZY this week.  (We hope Santa Paws isn't seeing how bad Mommy is about not writing comments on posts. )

Then Mommy had the nerve to tell me this morning that she "had a headache" and couldn't help us write  a post earlier today!  I told her...you aren't allowed to get headaches on MY time.  If you insist on getting a headache you should do it during the workweek on company time at your job.   The weekends are Lassie, Benji, Mommy time and I won't allow the headaches to interfere with MY time! 

Then, oh my goodness...

Grandma gave me the FINGER today!

Oh it was horrible!

It wasn't the middle finger --- it was the index finger (the one next to the thumb.)

(To us dogs, the 2nd finger is worse than the middle finger.. am I right or what...)



See we had the front door open, and only had the screen door locked, so we could get some fresh air in the house. 

And the neighbor's kids were outside in the street.

So I was trying to be FRIENDLY and I started barking nonstop.

I was yapping saying...how are you.. yap... isn't it a nice day today....yap... yap...yap


Grandma told me to stop yapping.

And when I didn't stop yapping... she got up... closed the front door ... then she stuck her FINGER (index finger) up at me and started waving it in front of my face saying NO.


How insulting!

I was just doing my CIVIC DUTY trying to be nice to the neighbors having a friendly conversation.


I was so insulted I immediately went and crawled on Mommy's belly (since she was laying down from the "headache") and then I started licking Mommy's cheek.  Then I was giving my paw at Mommy.

Mommy comforted me and pet me and said How DARE Grandma stick her "Finger" up at you.

In a matter of 87 seconds I forgave Grandma and took a nap.

Have a great weekend,

Lassie and Benji

  9. I don't like that finger... it mostly means "no treats".... I hope the bad headache disappears and your mom feels better soon. Have a good Memorial Day...

  10. OH no! Not the finger! How rude, but you are a good dog for forgiving her so quickly. Thats a sign of good character. Hopefully your grandma noticed.

    Hope your mom feels better.

  11. The finger, you got the finger ~ did you tell her to be careful not to poke you in the eye. Poke your fingers in my eyes and I will open wide my jaws. Linen, cloth, quills or paper, my greedy lust devours them all. What am I?
    Thanks for being a friend

    1. We looked up the answer to the riddle. The answer is scissors. That was a good riddle.

  12. Lassie, don't hold onto your anger, learn about forgiveness. Here's a wonderful example:
