A Scruffy Dog's Perspective
The mighty Astros have bowed out. Things were glum around town for a bit after our Astros of Houston fell to the (dirty) Sox of Boston. Family watched most games together with lots of screaming and cheering. Ultimately, it was not to be. On the upside we don’t have to worry about dog walks getting […]
Here’s Toby looking very happy to be Toby sitting in the grass. It’s really hot here in Houston, so me and the Tobe do a good bit of sitting around. Don’t be fooled though- this is Jedi dog stuff, conserving our energy at all times so we’re ready to resume the war on squirrels when […]
The war on squirrels would be much easier if squirrels couldn’t climb trees. Or, maybe what if Scruffy the Bad Dog could climb trees. Oh, to see the look on the squirrels faces when Scruff came charging up behind them. I suppose everybody has to be good at something. Except maybe Toby. I’m not sure […]
Morning walk on the trail- lots of flowers, not so many squirrels. Oh yeah- ratty Toby was there too-
No really- get ‘me bowed. Sad news. The Dot.com passed away in 2016 and went to the big squirrel chasing ground in the sky. She was a dog of many names- Dot, Dotter, Dot-a-Rama, Dot-a-rooski, it goes on forever. She’s was the Dot-o-lama- spiritual leader of all dogs, (well, maybe just Toby). Anyway- we […]
Scruffmeister is back- and boy do we have some catching up to do. (I’m still awesome though)!
Family trip to Fredricksburg. Lots of fishing and hiking and stuff. I also ate a frog. Turns out they taste really bad. I had to spit it out. Then my mouth got foamy and everybody thought I was Cujo instead of Scruff-O. But it turned out ok. I loved this place- lots of woods to […]
Just two dogs cruising the streets looking for a beach– (as in sand and water people). Scruffy thinks he knows it all- but I’m allowed to drive!
Oh man. A lot has happened since my last post. This is not a picture of T-Rex, well at least not the picture itself. He’s family now so I have to stick up for him at the dog park. But, he’s an ankle biter (and other things) to me and other dogs so he’s usually […]
We have a new family member. Another ratty little dog- just what we needed right? Except this is a really little dog. T-Rex is like 6 lbs. he thinks he’s bigger though. He wants to hang with The Scruff but can’t do it! He is pretty fun to chew on though. Mom has lost […]
Woo-hoo; Spring Break! Except I didn’t go anywhere. Ratty family went to Cabo without the dogs. Picture is me guarding the perimeter at the casa. More exiting news. Strachan family got a new dog. T-Rex. (Aka Toby). But more about him in the next post. Here’s the ratty kid in Mexico. You people need to […]
We spent a couple days in Galveston. Mom has some friends with a house that they let us use. I’ve never met them, but I know they’re good people because they have a dog so don’t mind if I stay at their beach house too. Lots of new stuff for me. best thing was a […]
Just chasing the Kid on the beach. He’s not very fast or as tall as Dad, but he’s wiley. All twisty and turny He’a my best pal though. C’ept he says “no biting” sometimes right after he kicks my butt and I start to so out woic battles.
Holiday spirit? Nailed it!
I came home and Scruffy The Bad Dog was in Dot’s bed and he was curled up and yawning! I was laughing at scruffy.
Here’s my ratty kid; his name is Maksim. We like to wrestle. Sometimes I can’t help it. I just want to chew, or lick or scruff him.
Dot is old. Like really old. I think she and Old Yeller were friends when they were puppies. Dot doesn’t really like to play. Mostly I play with The Kid,because Dot gets grumpy and growls at me if I try to play too much.
Hola, I am Señor Scruff. Us dogs understand that people are confused. It seems my family never makes up their mind. It took me a while to understand I was Scruffy the Bad Dog. First I though my name was Scruffy, then I thought it was No-Scruffy, but lately we seemed to have settled on […]
Like most Bad dogs I need a lot of sleep. Don’t get me wrong. I’m happy to play (and Scruff) anytime. But, Bad dogs play hard so we need to sleep hard. When I zonk, out I really zonk out. Mom says I’m like a little baby; you can pick me up and move me […]
Some fun things I’ve done recently: Helped trim the Christmas tree by eating the lower branches; Ate the Christmas cookies mom left out for me on the kitchen table; Helped with recycling by shredding lots of trash from the trash can; Cleaned up the environment by eating a few ant traps (pretty tasty). Mom took […]
I live with my brother Maksim. I just call him The Kid- as in ratty kid. My job is to bite him, chew on him, lick him or just jump on him, when I “get” him, or anybody they say they got “Scruffed.” As in I Scruffed ’em! I tell tried to tell them that’s […]
