Sweet Lady Gaga. We have a steady parade of Amigos coming by Casa de Canterbury these days, but they only have eyes for Tennis Ball Obsessed Chelsea. Seriously. To paraphrase from The Help: I is cute. I is smart. I is here. So why is The Red Man being ignored? This is a rhetorical question, of course, because The Red Man will never be ignored, but still…apparently I am now wearing the Invisibility Cloak belonging to one Harry Potter. For real. It exists.
TBO Chelsea on front porch watching for company
Number One Son came by late this afternoon and stayed a long time while the old woman Slow and Pretty went out for 25-cent shrimp night at Rockaways. He oohed and aahed over TBO Chelsea and talked to her and petted her but did he have a kind word for moi? Not even a glance. Sigh. I suppose he’s forgotten the good old days when he used to chase me down the street in his bare feet while I made one of my infamous escapes from Casa de Spring Valley. Heh, heh. Those were some fun times, let me tell you. Hm…that may explain more than I’d like to remember.
So today was a good day for Casa de Canterbury – Chelsea forgot she’s under the weather and started using the doggie door again. She even forgot she only has three good legs and could be seen standing on all fours whenever she had an audience so Slow and Pretty were happy, too. Maybe her meds are kicking in. Who knows – but never look a gift horse in the mouth. Just take it and run with it. We’ll see about tomorrow if it gets here.
In the meantime, get me outta here Percy…I think I’ll do some Paw Snaps and Twirls to get a little attention before zzzz time. Catch you later, Sports Fans…stay tuned.
I love your using Lady Gaga’s name in this way! It is as if you wish not to “gag” with all these folks who treasure “simple” dogs Iike Chelsea who take pleasure in retrieving tennis balls. But I an sure you don’t wish this to reflect on Lady Gaga, if I read you right? Just Chelsea is the focus of your disgust 🙂 I hear you. Kind of like little 4 year old Kyah who is ready, “Please!” for new baby brother to go back to wherever babies come from:)

Actually, Robin, I confess to stealing the “Sweet Lady Gaga” line from a TV show, but I can’t remember which one, of course! It is Red’s cleaned-up version of “Sweet Jesus” which he is sure many of his readers wouldn’t like! 🙂
We certainly don’t wish to reflect in any way on the real Lady Gaga who we actually love to hear sing and find her persona to be intriguing…
Yes, today The Red Man is royally pissed that the focus of life at Casa de Canterbury for the past couple of weeks has been on TBO Chelsea who he finds boring at best. 🙂
Much like Kyah with new baby brother!! Exactly. 🙂

I knew you were playing since you have a finely tuned sense of humor, Red. I like Lady Gaga’s kindness to her fans and how she is unique in her persona. I bet Slow loves her duets with Tony Bennett. 🙂

Girl, you are preaching the truth there. When it comes down to it, we all have to make the best of it!!
Yes, I remember when you had to run after The Red Man, too…he was a mess…I will give him an extra hug from his cousins on the country hill in Texas. 🙂

Red, you know I’m always sympathetic to how your family slights you. But this is the worst. You seem to be implying that TBO Chelsea fakes illness for attention. What a rotten thing to do. You would think that Slow and Pretty would see through the dramatics. I’ve been out of town , but you’re always in my thoughts, red guy. And now I’m back so I can check on you more often!

Yes, we have been missing you! So glad you are back and of course, you have the brain power to sniff out irregularities in stories that are suspicious…yes, thank goodness you have returned! TBO Chelsea is the center of the Casa de Canterbury universe – and we all know the problemo with that! 🙂
