Bogie’s poker night with Knuti & Co
Apr 1st, 2009 | By mervi | Category: Featured articles, Pets and Us01.04.2009 by Retta
A few weeks ago, I was dog-sitting Bogie and fell asleep. When I awoke, I couldn’t find that little darling anywhere. When he finally came in, what a tale he had to tell! It seems he was very bored with me, so he called Auntie Yeo, who picked him up in her Starship and took him to play with Knuti. He had so much fun, but he couldn’t blow through that hose to make noises, no matter how hard Knuti tried to teach him. But Knuti said he could try again on the next visit.
Someone took a picture of them, and Bogie thinks they both look so handsome that Herr Ober should have a copy to hang on the wall at Die Knuipe. By the way, Bogie “borrowed” my credit card , he said, so he could buy a round or two at Die Knuipe. He said all the Knupians were so great to him, and he, Knuti, Flocke, and Raspi played some poker while they enjoyed a take-out order from Joe’s that Bogie ordered for all. (Had to get extra so Herr Ober could quality test everything.) My credit card is bent and broken, but, hey, if I had been there, I would have done the same (but not used it to cover my bets at the poker table!)
Greetings from Retta
You know, I have to tell you, I really enjoy this blog and the insight from everyone who participates. I find it to be refreshing and very informative. I wish there were more blogs like it. Anyway, I felt it was about time I posted, I?ve spent most of my time here just lurking and reading, but today for some reason I just felt compelled to say this.
Retta,
Are you sure that was a dream? Really sure? That conniving Bogie Boy might have relatives from the Louisiana bayou. There might be sleeping spells, incantations and secret potions at work here. If I were you, I would take a deep breath before I open my next credit card statement. A very deep breath…..
Retta,
Bogie is cute and I love your dream. Maybe when we write our soap opera, we can cast Bogie as the dark, brooding stranger from the bayou. Bogie is as mysterious as he is elusive. People say his mamma was a witch and claim to have strange experiences (like falling asleep) in his presence. The scheming Tosca is determined to find out the truth about Bogie so she can use it to her advantage.
Bogie is a cutie!
Dear Celinne,
Bogie is a real ham….he would certainly be interested in a starring role in the soap opera. Just pick up a camera, and Bogie will look right at it and pose. We have lost count of the large number of words he understands, so he should take direction ok. Well, uh, well, if he feels at the moment like doing what the director wants him to do. Bogie has never, ever come when called….he only comes when he wants to do so. We all failed Doggie Obedience School, except for Bogie, of course, who decided during the first lesson that he didn’t need any lessons. So we obey him, and call him “Boss” for short. Anyway, the role sounds perfect for him…..mysterious, his own man, yesss!

Dear Paula,
Thanks for your compliment to Bogie. He thinks he is pretty cute, and so do we!

Retta,
From your description of the adorable Bogie, it seems to me as if he would prefer to be the director rather than a mere actor in the soap opera. He may have picked up a few ideas from Stephen Spieldog along the way and is eager to show off his expertise behind the camera. Did I hear Bogie just bark “Take One”?
Retta sweet drems! Bogie is very cute!
Ahhh Retta,
One picture says it all — when you dozed off, that pair and all of their accomplices partied and played poker and flitted around to pick up all their friends. It’s all in Bogie’s alleged-guilty “I didn’t do it and I don’t know anything” eyes while Knuti lovingly looks on with his emancipatingly grateful “thanks for coming to visit me and giving my buddies all a chance to converge” look. Pets, of which I include Knuti, are not to be trusted in their exploits, ways, tricks to pass the time, but that’s only because we always want to know what they are up to.
Yes, Retta, I’d say if you haven’t, hurry to have an on-line peak at your credit card statement
.
A very delightful read!
Beary Hugs, Tish
