The Buck

I like to think of myself as one of a kind, however...there is another "Buck" out there. And my mom had the pleasure of meeting him this week.

I'm always up for a little competition...so Buck, bring it. Who is the most favorite Buck of all? We shall see my friend, we shall see....

To give treats

or not give treats...that is the question.

When my mom was in a meeting this morning, I started wondering. If everyone just GAVE me treats, the world would be a better place. I mean, I really don't ask for a whole lot...a little tummy rub, a little pat on the head, a little scratch behind the ear...and a little something that tastes like bacon every now and then.

So, I thought I'd take a moment and thank the few...my special few...that have been the staples to my treat route. Thank you for making my day a little brighter and thank you for making the world a better place:

• Aunt Beth
• Aunt Eran
• Uncle Jason
• Aunt Joyce
• Aunt Colleen
• Aunt Jen
• Aunt Rae
• Aunt Janet
• Aunt Joanne
• Aunt Wanda
• Uncle Mike

Tail wags,
The Buck

I've been meaning to post this for a while. With all the cat talk around the office these days:

Excerpts from a Cat's Diary

Day 983 of my captivity. My captors continue to taunt me with
bizarre little dangling objects. They dinelavishly on fresh meat,
while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry
nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly
clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my
strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.
In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their
feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since
it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely
made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter"
I am....Bastards! There was some sort of assembly of their
accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the
duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell
the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of
"allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my
advantage. Today I was almost successful
in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around
his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but
at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and
snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly
released and seems to be more than willing to return. He is
obviously retarded. The bird has got to be an informant. I observe
him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he
reports my every move. My captors have
arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is
safe.

And it only took 5 years

Ah, the great outdoors. As much as I love coming in to work everyday, I enjoy a nice get-a-way as much as anyone else. When my people told me that we were going camping, I wasn't sure how to feel. Normally, I am more than happy to go anywhere with my mom...and especially the red head (9 times out of 10 he takes me on really fun adventures)...but, I was skeptical...

WHOA, was I wrong! I admit it! I will never doubt my people again. CAMPING IS MY NEW FAVORITE THING! And so is fetching sticks in brown, mucky rivers! And so are turkey hot dogs! And so is campfires! And so is sleeping in tents! And so are turkey hot dogs!

I HEART CAMPING! (when are we going again...hint, hint, wink, wink)
