The Dope versus The Panther
I must apologise for many, many things in the following post…
Firstly, I apologise to all those who believe dogs are better than cats.
Firstly, I apologise to all those who believe dogs are better than cats.
I am actually one of you, deep down.
It’s a fact, or as Dash would protest “I am TRUE”.
But this post will not bear witness to my deep and abiding love of pooches. Especially my pooch. The daft dawg.
Secondly, I apologise to all those who take blogging in the slightest bit seriously.
I cannot. It’s a problem I have. I will be attempting a Dr Doolittle angle here, and you should be warned about that up front. You have time to escape. Read on at your peril.
And thirdly, I apologise to all ‘real photographers’ out there reading this.
I have no real excuse for the quality of the following images. Other than the fact I was laughing so damned hard I lost all control of focus. And framing.
I am hopeless. But you already knew that.
Enough grovelling.
…
Time for the action that almost sent me for my Depends.
Hold onto your hats and your sense of humour.
You may need both…

THE PLAYERS
.
MIDDY
AKA ‘Midnight’
AKA ‘The Black Panther of Granite Glen’
‘I am not actually a common domestic feline,
I am, in fact, The Black Panther…
Oh, you may smile dismissively, my friends, at my grand claim.
Those who doubt my powers do so at their own peril.
Be warned. Purrrrrrrr.’
…
AXEL ROSE
AKA ‘Ackssssssssssellllllllllllllll Roooosse’
AKA ‘Boofhead’
‘Whaddya mean ‘boofhead’?
I ain’t no boofhead… watch me move, baby!
I am big, I am lithe, I am agile,
I am GREAT DANE!
What was that sound… who goes there?
Mum?
Was that you?
Aaaarrrooooooo….’

Enough of the credits…

THE END.
THE END.

Well it would be the end, except this pair repeated the scene OVER and OVER and OVER again in our backyard until I could not see for tears of hysterical laughter.
Axel just DOESN’t get it.
WHY won’t she play with him?
Danes are gorgeous but seriously, seriously dumb.
And they have REALLY flappy lips.
Man I ♥ that dog.
And that cat?She still just ♥’s me when she wants food.
And the world is as it should be.
THE REAL END.

What a start to my day! Axel's job appears to be to thoroughly entertain you! My cat, Emma, stood up to Diane's Catahoula hounds, even charging Olive. Cats rule!!!

And the Great Danes truly just want to play. They are gentle giants. That want to play. With the puddy tat… I mean the panther. Or a frog. Or a tire.
Bless his heart. It reminds me of the two Danes my niece has. I love them and I love to play with them even thought they almost knock me down. One of the best dogs I ever had was a Dane.

What a HOOT!!! Poor Axel. Wish I could send him one of the buppies (baby puppies) at our house so he could have a REAL playmate!
Loved this entry!
Paint Girl
That was so darn cute! Axel is getting so big now! Wow! Love his flappy lips!
Amanda
My Rotti is exactly the same with the cat…..big dogs have no idea that they are big dogs.
Country Girl
Itn't it fun working on a really funny post? I can see you giggling all the while when you were putting it together!
I love the name of your dog. You a Guns 'n Roses fan? Ha!
What fun! Really cute.
Woman in a Window
Even your preamble had me laughing…some people take blogs seriously…hahahaha! That's ripe comedy right there!
And then the cat and dog. I've a hundred pound lab that does this to our little nasty arse tiny black cat at the top of the stairs. There is much postering but that dog will not breach the top stair and enter the cat's territory. THank god!
Jayne
LMFAO
That is a huge hoot!
My fur-baby (Dalmation Blue Heeler X..she's gorgeous but quite silly) tries to play with our cats and just doesn't get that they're moody, catty pusskins who'd happily shred her if they could be bothered lol.

You know who I was barracking for…

I ADORED this post. You captured their spirits perfectly. I also live with a boofer of a dog and cat with attitude. I ROFLd as I read and looked, so similar!
Bush Babe
NB Jeanie was going for the CAT in case you missed it!!!
Kate
LOVED this post! So funny. Poor Axel, he just won't learn. That is a pretty big, tough, mean ole panther though. I love how goofy and sweet giant dogs are.
The Urban Cowboy
Hey Bush Babe, just found your blog, pretty kool stuff!
~*Autumn*~
I cannot believe how hysterically funny that is and no matter how many times I watch it is still gut rolling funny! Thanks for the happy tears! 🙂

Gotta say, if you read I can haz cheezburger, you would understand that Middy bears a strong resemblence to 'basement cat', the root of all evil. The dog is fearful with good reason!
