Stinky Monkey and me is almost too excited even to blog about it. |
Friends, I was beginning to has a worry that she would NEVER come back, after she and people sister left me alone for a WHOLE WEEK with DADDY and HATFIELD.
The horribly traumatic experience of No Mama ended like this tonight:
Mama: "Reuben, we're home!"
Reuben: "Wha.... so.... sleepy.... no can open eyes.... wait OMD it is MAMA!"
Then she scooped me up and taked me to the couch and she and people sister gaved me lots of rubs and lovins.
Oh, yeeaaaahhhhhh!!!! |
Mama: "Reuben, you smell even stinkier than usual."
People sister: "Oh, I know what that smell is. It's cow manure."
Mama: .....
And then the next thing I knowed, I was in BATH getting rubbed with Hawaiian shampoos and conditioners! All of my formidible stink went away. And does you know what else went away! Some FLEAS. Yes, when Mama gotted home I was scented with manure (from the farm) and sprinkled with fleas (probably also from farm). AND.... my bowl was full of the kind of foodstuffs that I HATES. I bet you thoughted that I no hated any foodstuffs! That should tell you how terrible this particular kind of kibble foodstuff is.
Mama says that Daddy has to sleep in doghouse tonight. What's that, Mama? He no actually has to sleep there? Is a "metafoor?" I no knows what that means. All I knows is that Daddy better close the barn door before the piggy escapes. And speaking of piggies.... Mama owes me a whole piggy on account of her leaving me for eleventy thousand years. She says she is working on it. We shall see, shan't we Mama?
At least I has one thingy to console me, and it is the lovely review of my book that Frankie and Ernie posted on their dogblog. Guys, it is like I always says: if I can make just one creature laugh in a day, then my day has been a success. Of course, there is many wisdoms in said book too, wisdoms that I is so happy to has shared with my buddies F & E. Tonight I will dream about frolicking with thems, and deading moles or something, just so I can forget the horrors of my BATH and TERRIBLE FOODSTUFFS and FLEAS and COW POOP.
We bet that after BATH you got more snuggles and loves cuz you smelled so good!
ReplyDeleteBart, Ruby and Otto, who all got BATHS last week!!
Are you sure you want to forget about the cow poop? Some of our best dreams involve cow poop... and goose poop... and cat poop... and well, you get the idea.

I'm so glad your Mommy came back! Too bad she had to give you a bath.
ReplyDeletePoppy
Can't believe your mum didn't appreciate the good smells you put on for her. Humans--no class.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
We downloaded your book on HER kindle, but haven't read it yet.
We're so glad your Mommy and sister are home before you absolutely withered away, Reuben! Sorry about that bath, though...
ReplyDeleteReuben the horror of it!! Mommy finally comes home and you have to get a bath!!! That is cruel, I hope you are doing ok and working on getting your nice scent back.

ReplyDeleteWe can see why your Daddy spent the night in the Dog House! Fleas..... Yuck!

Oh no - the terrible horrible no good very bad thing called BATH!!!! Oh Reuben, how ever did you survive that? BATH is awful. I too hate it when the people take away the lovely stink that I found to share with them and replace it with something yucky-flower-smelling. The people have no gratitude, do they?
ReplyDeleteI am glad you survived, and I am glad your mom-person came home. (Sorry about the Bath, dude.)
Licks,
Cobi
What a traumatic night Reuben...All that joy about Mom coming home and then a bath...and fleas...Youch! Hope that at least all the fleas went away...and that Mom stayed :) Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteGood news Reuben, Ma finally bit the bullet and bought us a Kindle! So, soon we can download your book! yea!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a bummer abouts your bath...the peeps just have no appreciation for all the hard work that goes into gettin' our 'essence' just right. BTW: I gots a bath today too...Pffffft!
Hopes that those nasty fleas are gone though. I hate those!
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
You are a wonderful surpriser, R. Filth, stink, and fleas - that's the trifecta of surprises. Well done, buddy.
ReplyDeleteLove and licks,
Cupcake
Oh we hates when our momma leaves us overnight with our dad except he does give us bacon, even tho he forgets to feed us on time,....he is often in the doggy house.
ReplyDeletestella rose
Oh dear Reuben... we truly feel sorry for such a cold (literally speaking) greeting you've gotten from your momma. We do hope she gave you lots of love and hugs after that bath.
ReplyDeleteI am SO jealous! I don't think I've ever smelled like cow manure! I'm not sure I've ever seen or smelled cow manure. But if it's anything like horse manure, I would LOVE it! How sad that you had to take a bath. :(
