silly pup, silly pup, oh silly silly pup

April 10, 2013

if you were a fly on the wall, you would hear silly (one-sided) conversations with atlas that sound like this:

“i love you so much, atlas. you are the cutest puppy ever. i don’t know what i would do without you. well, that’s not entirely true. i would do the same things i do with you, only without you.”

or this:

“atlas, sweetie, i love you more than all the gold in china. is there even gold in china? i should look that up. there’s probably tea. i love you more than all the tea in china. except i don’t love tea.”

or this, sung to the tune of the brady bunch theme song:

“you are my puppy, my little puppy. you are the cutest little puppy in the world. you are oh so sweet. how i love you. even though you aren’t a girl.” (the last line changes. another popular choice is “even though you have a tail”.)

    and thank you for the little ‘postcard’ extras. you either guessed luckily or you’ve got a fantastic memory ~ because you tucked in the two favorites of mine ~ what i called
    your ‘silence of snow.’ how I love them.

    Tracy & Tammy: Sorry for inflicting you with an ear worm! But it’s a fun one, right? Hehe.

    Jerry: He is indeed happy. Also hot. His hot face looks like a happy face, which cracks me up, but since he is generally happy, I figure it all works.

    Sherron: You will!

    Haha! This put a smile on my face. You’re very funny and endearing, my friend. :)

  9. So sweet…. oh, the things we say to our pets. My bunny Taro gets a lot of verbal love too, even though he is deaf now… I just pretend he can hear me, because there’s just something wrong with not talking to him.. what if he can hear just a little bit, and I stopped speaking to him? Would he feel less loved? So I will say sweet nothings into his long, floppy, but unresponsive ears for as long as he is with me.
