FYI: For those of you who didn't know Jack, he was a huge TV fan. He couldn't watch Animal Planet or America's Funniest Home Videos alone because he would try and attack the TV. If a greyhound was on TV, he would whine. He loved Judge Judy. Scout and I don't watch TV, but we know when Judge Judy goes off, it is time for us to take a walk. BOL!
Joey,
The Greyhound Who Knows If It Wasn't For Jack, He And Scout Wouldn't Have Been Adopted Into This Home And Thus We Wouldn't Be On A HUGE Adventure.

GROUNDED

| Jack and Scout |
Jack: We were grounded yesterday. NO TV!
Scout: Yep, grounded, no TV.
Jack: No People's Court, Judge Judy, The Talk, etc, etc.
Scout: I really don't care for TV much so it didn't bother me. There is a commercial I like though. It has a whale in it and I've been imitating his sounds which is driving Mama crazy! LOL Jack loves his TV though, so he was very upset that he couldn't watch it.
Jack: It's Scout's fault that we got in trouble.
Scout: You could have said "NO" Jack, but you didn't.
Jack: What did we do? Well, we got Mama up around 2 a.m. to go outside. That's not why we got in trouble though.
Scout: No, we do that a lot.
Jack: We got in trouble because we did zoomies around the yard. Mama told us to come in and we just ran circles around her.
Scout: It was so funny! Mama was standing out in the middle of the yard dressed in her jammies. Her arms were flapping and she kept yelling at us to get in the house. We just kept running circles around her.
Jack: Mama said it looked like she was a lion tamer in the circus.
Scout: It was a lot of fun, but Mama didn't think it was. She said "YOU'RE GROUNDED, NO TV!" I just laughed and said "whatever". It was worth loosing TV for a day.
Jack: So, yesterday, I missed all of my favorite shows. I hope I can catch up on Days Of Our Lives today because it was at a dramatic part when it ended on Tuesday.
Scout: I'm sure you didn't miss anything, Jack. That show moves slower than a turtle.
Jack: So, that's why we were grounded yesterday. We didn't get Mama up last night, so we are golden today.
Scout: Yeah, we are golden. LOL

The Ungrounded Greyhounds
Ha, ha, ha. I hadn't read this post before. Your sweet boys always seem to be characters. Boy, oh boy, do Scout and Jack look like twins. Sending a hug to you today on this sad anniversary. It was good to remember Jack in a happy, funny way.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lori. Jack and Scout definitely looked alike and they always got a lot of attention when they were walked together. There are some photos where I really have a hard time determining who it is.
ReplyDeleteLove that post! Wanda doesn't watch T.V. but our cat does! Wanda and Gordon (the cat) are best buddies (like Jack and Scout) and get each other in trouble sometimes but it is usually the cat's fault.....says, Wanda! So many thoughts of Jack right now mean he is close and doing zoomies around your heart.
ReplyDeleteMary, I hope you and your family are doing well. It is nice hearing from you. Give Wanda a big hug for me. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey look nearly identical! Such a sweet tribute day, loved reading this :)
ReplyDeleteI love the intelligence of your hounds, since they've become writers.
ReplyDeleteZoomies around Mom with her arms flapping! I wish I'd been there!
Hazel, I was not happy, but they were laughing at me as they ran by me. LOL
ReplyDeleteBwaaaa ha ha! Mom and I both laughed out loud over this one! Jack was a classic guy, and I always loved his humor! I bet somewhere, his tail is wagging over the fact that he left you with something to smile about while he's waiting for you from the other side of the Bridge. I still remember his picture where he was wearing the funny glasses!

Thanks, Bunny. We are glad yesterday if over. I tried not to dwell on it, but it was hard not remembering everything that happened on that terrible day two years ago.
