Nooter’s Nifty Nine for July
on the ninth day of each month I shall post a list about something I believe to be, to quote a famous crooner*, “..of great social and political import.” each list will cover items of a particularly relevant nature and assist my generous readers in leading better, more productive and fulfilling lives.
so without further ado (que the tada music):
……….Top Nine Items on my Bucket List
1. last weekend we watched a hot dog eating contest on tv. that looks like great fun, I wanna do that!
2. learn the salsa dance. mmm…. salsa…
3. get a college degree in taxidermy and open my own studio. will feature squirrels in live action poses such as running away, hiding, cowering, begging for their lives, etc.
4. tour a snak factory where you see the workers mixing all the delightful ingredients and mingle with the friendly tourists and behold the heavenly aroma and get two free snaks at the end of the tour
5. want the human to go away and spend the night at a girl humans home so I can stay up late and eat crackers and sleep in his bed
6. shag fly balls at a big league ballpark. recently submitted to be a ball boy at a tennis tournament and got as far as the final tryouts; apparently youre supposed to quickly retrieve the ball and give it back in a timely manner and keep it as dry as 007’s martini, no rousing games of keep-away or allowing me to chew-soften the ball for them. what a bunch of bland barneys. so anyway I read about baseball and the really big parks and spitballs and that sounds more like my game
7. go camping with bear grylls and eat bugs and explore everyplace and sniff everything and have more fun than one hundred trips to the park all rolled up into one
8. start my own internet business selling a wide variety of balls and sticks and jerked treats. could offer gift baskets and cards and wrapping and stuff. you would buy a lovely assortment of throwing sticks from me wouldnt you?
9. get a bigger bucket

>>>want the human to go away and spend the night at a girl humans home so I can stay up late and eat crackers and sleep in his bed
Are you suggesting that if the human goes away to spend the night in a boy human’s home he finishes up and “comes” home too early for you to really enjoy the crackers in his bed?
Inquiring minds need to know.
I love #3!!! I can just imagine all the little poses. I must say, you have inspired me to write my own bucket list. Thanks.
I think your bucket list is similar to the bucket lists of dogs and men everywhere. That must be why they say a dog is a man’s best friend… or that a man is a dog’s best friend… oh, whatever.
#6:
I got to go to the ballpark! I didn’t get to run around on the field, but a human almost fell on me trying to catch a ball.
PS: Derby went too.
PSS: He was a boy dog originally, he had foul balls.
PSSS: my human just learned to shake - the cam

PSSSS: Who is this Bingo dude?
Nooter I would totally buying a stick from you!
You go Nooter!! Get busy on that list. When the bucket’s nearly empty, fill it up again!! I’ll take you skydiving…
Tell the human to take the girl with you camping. After showing off all your skils (being cute, chasing bears and balls), you’ll get snaks to go with the bugs and you can have your own tent!
hello nooter its dennis the vizsla dog hay my dada nos the salsa dancing thing and he tels me that it is not salsa wot yoo can eet so i am not reely intrested in it ha ha ok bye
That’s a great list, Nooter!! Hope you can actualy do some of those things…and if you do, we’d like to hear about it…especially camping out with those gryll bears…
Nooter, I need a bigger bucket so if you do get more than one please think of me ……. thanks *wags pretend tail*
Noot, I’m with you on the hot dog eating thing. I wouldn’t even care if I won, just as long as they kept bringing me more hot dogs. And they are NATHAN’S Hot Dogs, which are the world’s best.
