An Interview with Bogey

As I've posted before, the Akron Humane Society has lots of dogs and cats to adopt, and at Facebook I've friended them, so in my feed I get to see the featured pet of the day/week or whatever.  I want to use this blog to help promote them and hopefully (yes I know hopefully is poor usage) help them get adopted. As such, I conduct interviews with selected pets. Some interviews don't get published because the subjects are boring, or barky, or run away to chase a mouse, but some I put here. So here is an interview with Bogey.


Aurora Boardealis:  Hi Bogey

Bogey: (sniff) Hi  (sniff).

AB: Where were you before you were here?

B: (sniff) I don't really know, but it smelled like wet newspapers and garlic. (sniff)

AB: Being a Beagle mix you go a lot by smell, don't you?

B: (sniff) (sniff) Now that I think of it, you smell a lot like wet newspaapers and garlic. (sniff) (sniff) (sniff)

AB: Okay, that's enough sniffing me.

B: Seriously? (sniff) There is never enough (sniff) sniffing.

AB: Let ask you what type of home you are hoping for.

B: I'd like it (sniff) to smell like (sniff) sausage.

AB: So a home hear a grocery store then?

B: Or (sniff) a pizzeria.

AB: That narrows down your options, doesn't it?

B: Not really (sniff). I can smell eighteen different pizza places right now. And a Chinese restaurant.

AB: We're nowhere near any restaurants.

B: Exactly (sniff).

AB: Well you are a very sweet little dog. I hope you find a forever home very soon.

B: (sniff) (sniff) (sniff) Orange cat.

AB: What?

B: You have (sniff) an orange cat, don't you?

AB: You can tell that by smelling?

B:  (sniff) No, there's hair all over your pants.

AB: Thanks, Bogey, and good luck.

A dog story to warm your heart.

There's a little blog where some writers post things they've written that aren't really literature, but more like conversations between themselves. Here is one such post about a really stupid Labrador and the people he loved.
