Kissy Noses and Deeper Thoughts: A Column by Sassy

Why does roasting food smell so delicious, yet I rarely get any? But boy, if there is an apple, carrot or tomato, the peeps sure are in a mood to share. Pass the roast, please. Deeper thoughts.

Saw a bunny today. Looked soft. Wondered, can I snuggle him? Run, run. Nope, she took off. Kissy noses.

Why do squirrels throw things at me and then chirp at me until I locate them? I then naturally bounce them right off the fence. Every single time, right off the fence. Wouldn’t it be smarter for them to toss things at me from a tree? Can’t bounce a tree. Deeper thoughts.

After a bath, I wipe my soaking wet face on every sofa and chair in the house so they too can smell like oatmeal and vanilla. No reason. Just being me. Kissy noses.

Why does a triangle have three sides? Uneven touching. Does one side get lonely and need to hold my paw? I am here for you. Deeper thoughts.

After the peeps mow the lawn, I run around and get super green paws, then I hit the carpet and if I am fast, the big bed! Wooo. Kissy noses.

The Perseid meteor shower happened this month, but the clouds covered it up. Same with the eclipse. Made me sad. Pretty sure they wanted to be seen by all of us. Maybe we can schedule an appointment to see the showers and eclipse next time? Deeper thoughts.

If I wish really hard, eggs and cheese appear in my breakfast bowl! Do cats get this treatment? Maybe they don’t wish hard enough. Kissy noses.A guitar has strings, and a piano has keys. Would they still work if you switched the keys for the strings? MMM, deeper thoughts.

Kissy Noses and Deeper Thoughts

Do you ever wonder what the point of an eclipse is? I think, nod, nod, it is like a windshield wiper getting the snow out of the way so Momma can drive. No wait. Would that mean we would get wiped off the planet? Mmm, Deeper Thoughts.

Do you ever wonder where birds go at night? I hear them chirping in the morning, but never at night. Kissy nose.

Of all the animals in the world, why did the raccoon get opposable thumbs? Birds ask this all the time. Deeper thoughts.

Kissy Noses and Deeper Thoughts

Do you ever notice that your peeps do not know the names of the other peeps at the dog park and just call them Sparky’s dad and Ike’s mom?

Do you ever wonder why the eggs come in a carton with twelve in them, but the peeps act like a hero when giving you one whole, big-deal egg? #danerve #moreplease

Do you ever wonder what peeps dream about when they go sleepies? Is it rabbits, squirrels, and running through lakes, like us?

Do you ever wonder why your closet is a millionth the size of your peeps’? #dogmariekondoit

Do you ever wonder why we must get a bath when we roll in fun, delightfully free items at the park?

Do you ever wonder why dogs must fly in a tiny cage on the airplane when the humans are the ones ready to rumble, misbehaving, and tossing drinks at each other?

Do you ever wonder why your peeps close the restroom door when the two of woo are home alone, but when you are on your walkies, they constantly stare right at you, steal your droppings, and give you no privacy at all?

Do you ever wonder why your peeps place a container full of tasty delights they call leftovers in the middle of the room where you eat and then yell at you when you jump up and eat it?

Do you ever wonder what those water drops are coming out of Momma’s eyes and how easily a hug from me just makes it stop? #Sassysuperpower

Do you ever wonder why your peeps cut down a gigantic tree, place it in a bowl and put attractive, shiny balls, strings of popcorn and cranberries on it but yell at you when you pounce it to the ground and eat the tree?

Do you ever wonder why it is more fun to play with the box your toy comes in instead of the actual toy?

Do you ever notice that we can smell someone opening a packet of chips a mile out and can be there in under a second to ask for one?

Do you ever wonder why the human takes all the gorgeous snow and grumbles and groans while making a space for peeps to walk in, rather than pounce through it with his tongue hanging out, like you do?

Do you ever wonder why the peeps squeeze you into a tiny sweater to go out in the snow, when you have two pounds of fur on already?

Do you ever wonder what is in that big, humming box and why you don’t have one? You live here, too.
