On a little walk the other day,
Mom made me pose for a
“Stop and Smell the Daisies” photo.
Now, I know I am only a dog,
but isn’t the saying supposed to be
“Stop and Smell the Roses?”
Daisies don’t even really smell that good.
I guess they are kinda pretty if you’re into flowers
and that kind of stuff….
But when on walks,
I’m a sniffin’ for rabbits and chipmunks
and squirrels and deer.
I’d rather smell what another dog
left behind for me to find.
Now THAT is a smell worth stopping for!
Daisies are for “pushing up,”
and that is NOT
a place I want to go.
I think Mom better
“Wake up and smell the Bacon!”
(which I think smells much better than COFFEE!)
Hey – Did you ever imagine a handsome dog like me
was smart enough to understand malaphors too – eh?!
Heck – Mom just learned that word herself!
Woofs & Wags,
Charlie

Charlie, you are such a good sport! I’d send you bacon…but, there could be a problem with Customs. they frown at that kind of thing. but, hey, its the thought that counts! You, look stunning in your summer resort backdrop. Is there a Charlie Calendar in the works? dude, you could rake in the bucks with that big flashy smile and those ripped muscles! 🙂 you’d drive those girls crazy!

Oh, Charlie, you continue to amaze and delight us all! And you are right…daisies aren’t really for smelling. But if you keep your nose to the ground, I’m sure you will find lots of other interesting things to smell. And if you find a really, really good smell, always remember to roll in it. That way, you and your whole family can enjoy the smell for days afterwards!

Ms Ann – You are SUCH a smart lady! You totally totally get it! My nose does stay to the ground. Sometimes I even miss “seeing” things ahead because I am so busy smelling. And I do currently have a crusty little spot on top of my head that I brought home to share with my family that Mom is thinking of getting off me! The nerve – eh?! I love you Ms Ann! Love, Charlie
