Random Thoughts From Dion



Mr. Dion DiPoochy is our nearly-11 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel,

and a most beloved member of our family.


Today, he blogs.

***********************************************************************************

Dion, in his own words:


You know how sometimes you lie on your back with your legs all floppily,
and just sort of air out and think deep thoughts?

I do that a lot.

And I wrestle with deep philosophical questions, cause you know my mind is always
going a mile a minute even if my body is slumped on the sofa.


I think about things like . . .

How come people put clothes on their dogs?
Don't they know that, unlike humans, we are not ashamed of our nekkidness?
Which is probably because we're so darned much better looking than humans.


When we lick people, why do they mistake it for a kiss?
Don't they know we are tasting them, and just haven't found a really delicious human yet?

Why are the most delicious humans usually mailmen?

When the humans say, "Dion, you smell!" what is the proper way to thank them?
Or are they just being polite?


Why isn't it disgusting when they "go" in the house?

Do cats have brains?

What's so great about colors, anyway?

And most importantly of all . . . Why don't we have pockets?

Now, time for more deep thoughts.
Do Not Disturb. . .


Dion would be very appreciative if anyone has answers to those important questions that clearly give him sleepless nights, and days, and . . . Zzzzzzz....zzz..zzz..zzz

Have a lovely day! -- Cass, owned by Dion

  2. Dion--
    You DO ask some very interesting questions.
    I would especially like to know why you don't have pockets?

  9. Dion: My name is Murphy and am also a Cavalier King Charles. I think I may have the answer to the pocket question. Please excuse what I am about to say. If I had pockets I would fill it up with bunny poo. I love bunny poo! I always get yelled at when I go near it. I just look at them with my big eyes, wiggle my tail and I they forget everything. We are just so good looking. Have a nice day - off to eat bunny poo!

    These questions are certainly important. Have you tried google?

    Beautiful dog!

  11. Makes me want to run out and get a Cavie but then I would be considered a hoarder and they would put me on a lifetime show.

    You would have mega followers, human, dog and cat!
    You could have wonderful giveaways.

  18. The whole floppy thing cracks me up. Our cat never, ever did that until he saw our neighbors cat do it. Then it became the cool thing to do.
    Be careful Dion or some cat will mail you to Alaska while you are sleeping.

  19. Dion, you slay me! I'm sorry I don't have the answers to your questions, but I have a favor to ask you. Would you be a mentor to my puppy Chloe? She needs to learn how to have quality thinking and dreaming time on the couch. As you are a master at that, I will accept no other. And yes, I agree a Dion blog is in order. Then maybe you could dedicate one post a week on doggie edicate. A "Dear Dion" of sorts. ^**^

  20. Lets make that read etiquette, not edicate. Wow, excuse my New York pigeon spelling! It suddenly hit me I was way off on that one. :)
