Reflections from the Ironing Board.....

Mumsie sez she does her best thinking ironing; unfortunately she doesn't iron very often...Here Lacie and I are working on the "darks." I don't know what all the fuss is about getting rid of wrinkles...this is easy.

I have a question for you bloggie friends. We are from a lot of different breeds. Some of us are different species...our cat friends and Girl Girl. There are even bunnies and toads we read about. If you asked all of us the best way to say...play with a rope toy...you'd get lotsa answers, even from dogs of the same breed. I would tug it, Lacie would tease me with it, a kitty would pounce on it, a Boston Terrier would convert it to a Steeler toy, Asta would dye it pink and wear it, and Stanley would probably smoke it. (Sorry Stan, but those psychedelic pix on your blog cause me to infer you've smoked a few bones....!!!...Busy this weekend???)

Anyway, before we digress on Stanley's recreational habits, the POINT here is we don't see everything the same way. Yet I, Sargent McScruff, Thane of Wexford....(never did tell you my AKC name, did I?) have NEVER seen on all of these blogs anything but celebration for our similarities and respect for our differences (except, maybe for our siblings and we love them anyway!!!) So...what about the hoomans??? Today, on September 11th, 2001 before many of us were born, some hoomans did NOT respect each other's differences and made those differences a BAD thing. Perhaps for today, the hoooomans should be like us....sometimes a growl and a snap is necessary....but usually a good tail wag works. Maybe this is too simple. But why does it have to be so complicated?????????

I want to show you the "special Lakeland Terrier roses" that I got for Lacie to show my true remorse for deceiving her about that awesome toad party. (Actually, I really wanted to be "unstuffed" and stop being a 'Dale in an extended down/stay. It made counter surfing not happen. As you can see Lacie has her face right up in those "roses" inhaling away (speaking of recreational habits..)....and actually, she had a big drink out of the vase too.....Smart dog, that one!!

If you look very carefully at these "roses" you will see they chomp just like Lacie's mouth when she is flapping her jaw, nagging me or worse trying to bite me. (She was playing bitey face this morning (I wasn't playing....) and bit a big chunk of my booootiful wiry fur out and just left it on the floor. I asked Mumsie to split it up and send it to some of my girl friends, but she said no dice.....) Anyway, the flowers are SNAPDRAGONS. Have you ever seen anything so perfect. That's who I live with....a snapdragon. You can't say Scruff isn't President of the "Get the Last Word in Edgewise Club....." She will never ever figure this one out!! She will never guess that I changed my password to "Koobie."

Comforting thoughts to Lacie on Friday when she's having her fixit surgery. I am assuming that Mumsie will drug her heavily so she sleeps a lot and we can take walkies without her. I mean, I hope the surgery goes well, and Lacie feels better soon!!

Thoughtful wiry barks,

Scruffy
