Imaginative

The New Restaurant

It is a dark time. Across the state, businesses have been shut down for want of customers. So many restaurants have closed that underground, speakeasy-style eateries have popped up away from the watchful eyes of health department.

The boys’ beloved Sniff City has become….(Dun…dun…duhhhhn)… Hellmont.

My idea is better. No MINE is! Mom!!
Which of us has the best name for our new restaurant?
My idea's the best. It's the Diarrhea Trattoria!
Wait, does this place serve or cause diarrhea? Your choice! Oh dear, are those raisins and Tootsie Rolls on the bar? Well, at one time...
Forget about him. It's my idea that's the best.
It's the Copra...CopraphaGIa! The hottest spot for diarrhea! At the Copra,CopraphaGIa..Poopin' and noshin' are always in fahshion...Fashion? Yes, dahling...
Do you really think anyone will want to eat here? How is your dessert menu? Do you serve Poopsicles or Fudge Dragons? I'd like a meal to help me clear a room. I need assistance with my abstract expressionism.

Not that dogs eat poo or anything…

Well, only if it’s there.

So many people would like to request having a portrait of their pets done, yet Chewy does not put them in touch with staff artists.

Ew! For heaven't sake woman, have some shame! What? I've been in quarantine almost a year. Nobody sees me.
So we're not "somebody"? For the purposes of this argument, no.
Why is it acceptable that you guys are all furry and not me? 'Cause we're adorable.
Two Cairn terriers pant in the sun.

See? I told you we were adorable!

Latin

Mommy has been teaching me stuff. She said that in Latin, we are called Puppius Doggus Atthey oesn'tday oundsay ightray.

When I was in school, the students approached administration and asked for Latin courses. The faculty said “No”. This is what happens when you don’t teach young people Latin.

Mommy also refers to me as Stinkius Buggus. I don’t get no respect.

Boots

Mommy’s boots and puppies’ boots

After a day of play.

They go with us on our ADventures

and then by the door they stay.

Climbing hills, breaking trails,

They go wherever we go.

We take them off when we say goodnight

And dream of more days of snow.

Two puppies make snow angels in a snow bank.
Two puppies look at their snow angels. One is an angel, the other one a devil.

Ooh, tough break Toby.

A Whatosaurus?

Roar! I'm a Chronosaurus: I've come to eat our Times...or maybe Fossil.
A Chronosaurus? Where do you come up with this nonsense? Trust me. I wouldn't be doing this if mommy could hear better.

Did you know that there is such a thing as a Kronosaurus? I didn’t. (Although older visitors might remember them from the playground when they were children.) In addition, there also existed a Charonasaurus. To make matters even more confusing, there is the Chronosaurus which is a species of time-traveling dinosaur from a contemporary video game.

I thought I had misheard someone say “Chronosaur” instead of “dinosaur” and my mind leapt to Langolier-style lizards eating time and those who failed to evolve. Turns out the speaker really did say Chronosaur.

I guess the take away from this is that while I am hopelessly out of touch both with ancient sciences and contemporary games, at least my hearing is OK.

That is a matter of debate. I have been telling you that I am hungry for weeks, but you never seem to hear.

Fast & Furious

Hey look! There's a FAst and Furious marathon on this weekend!
Is that some sort of Vin Diesel crack? No, I really like the intricate plot twists and witty dialogue.
Wisper. Whisper.
I mean, i like the cars. The cars are cool. Well OK.

Just kidding. I have a little more hair than that.

To see more of the mischief my boys have been up to, pick up a copy of Dream Our World. So far, the boys have been running around the local museum for nine months. I can’t imagine what they have been up to while we humans have been locked out.
