Movie Review: Bingo

Today I am reviewing a movie made back in 1991.  That movie is  Bingo.  Bingo is a circus dog who ran away from the circus.  I've heard that years ago, kids would occasionally talk about running away to join the circus.   Where do kids want to run now?  Perhaps it is the parents who run away now.  However, this is a movie about dogs-not about teenagers.  The ones who have been brought up with a dog are okay.  Children need dogs to train them.  When you tell a teen to sit, and that teen refuses, that is a teen who was not raised with a dog's guidance.

However, this blog is not about the behavior of teenagers.  I got off-topic chasing squirrels, but what dog can resist a good squirrel chase?  This was a fun movie to watch.  I give it 4 paws up, many tail wags, and a kiss.  Humom enjoyed it too.  I don't mean to spoil the movie, but the one scene when humans were holding dogs captive,  and Bingo escaped and let out the other dogs.  The group promptly caged their human captors.  Humom laughed as much as Angel and myself.  If you like dogs (and who doesn't?), this is an entertaining movie.  Because it is an older movie, it is cheap to buy if you can't get it on streaming service.  Humon's was on a DVD with 3 other dog movies and it was $5 or$6.  Normally she buys blurays, but I don't think these movies are available on bluray.

Illegal Alien Birds

Today was a good day for Angel and myself.  William went out today, and came home with Burger King bacon double cheeseburgers for us.  I suspect he is trying to make up for confiscating my food earlier in the week.  I have already forgiven him, but if he thinks I'm still mad, he might bring us another batch of bacon double cheeseburgers. Therefore, he doesn't have to know he is forgiven.

The humans in the USA keep complaining about illegal aliens taking their jobs.  As usual, the humans are obsessed with work.  If an alien wants to come and pull a sled for me, I am happy.  It gives me more time to nap.  My only real concern with aliens is that they can fly here from distant planets so are they my dreaded enemy, the BIRDS?

My Stuff is My Stuff

What does a dog have to do to keep the humans out of my stuff?  I always keep a cache of goodies hidden where the humans can't or shouldn't find it.  Since humom can't do much physical labor anymore, it is my brothers who do the cleaning.  They aren't obsessive about cleaning which works for this dog.  Who would expect William to clean under humom's bed?  I had an unopened box of Hersheys cereal, a bonus size box of granola bars, half a bag of chocolate covered donuts,and some individually wrapped peanut butter crackers.  These were items that were just sitting in the kitchen cabinets which I learned to open  when I was a puppy.  That talent comes in handy because these are not items the humans normally share with me.  Now I have to gather new food and find a hiding place for it.  Why can't the humans leave a dog's stuff alone?

Silly Humans: Thinking is for Dogs

As a general rule, I try to avoid talking about some humans who, in my opinion, just want attention.  When a puppy does something negative just for attention, a wise adult dog ignores the puppy.  The same thing goes for humans.  However, occasionally, a dog has to bark about some of the really silly humans even if they deserve no attention.  I consider Sarah Palin to be a leader on that list.  There were some rumors that she was going to have a debate on global warming with Bill Nye, the science guy.  Can you imagine a human who doesn't acknowledge that birds are behind global warming?  Sadly, most humans do not see the connection even after I have issued so many warnings on the subject.  As I write this, the horrible season of spring is here.  My delightful snow has been stolen, and the smartalect birds who took it are singing  happily about the theft.  I don't even  like the subject of science, but I respect scientists. Ever since the first Chinese Crested dog decided to try Franklin's experiment with electricity, some of them have become hairless.  I'm glad the debate was just a silly rumor because the humans in politics look silly enough at election time.  They don't need help to look stupid.  They do a great job of it on their own.

Pirate Jack Schnauser's Treasure Found

I am pleased to announce that I've been a very lucky dog.  My humom bought a box of Dingo bones direct from the Dingo company. At least that is what I originally thought.   Imagine my happiness when I found a box with 18 large Dingo bones inside it.  I felt like I had found pirate Capt. Jack Schnauser's lost treasure.  I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was with the find.  It turns out it was his treasure.   All dogs are told the story of Capt Jack when we are wee puppies.  The legend that many years ago, he had sailed the Great Lakes plundering bones from other ships.  Birds hated him, and squirrels and chipmunks feared him.  Even sharks Stayed out of his way.  For years, I have heard the story of how the police dogs were after him so he hid his bones on a small uninhabited island on one of the lakes.  Then he disappeared into history. No one knows what happened to him.  To this day dogs still dog to find his treasure.

Things were going well until the humans found my stash.  They confiscated my bones and said I had to share with Angel.  Humans are always stealing a dog's fun.

Silly Humans: Let the Dogs do the Thinking

You can fool some of the humans all the time, you can fool all the humans some of the time, but you can't fool a dog!  A poet named Lydgate adapted this which was found  at an archaeological sight in Egypt.  It is credited to Larry Labrodor, the cave dog.  However, it could have been written by Gahiji because, after reading his diary in my collection of famous dog diaries, I know he was a very wise dog.  Lincoln also adapted it for the humans.

The reason I thought of this is because, once again, the humans are having a controversy over yet another thing which seems silly to me.  Evidently, the humans have problems distinguishing whether they are male or female.  We dogs have more sense, I know I'm a male dog, and when I have to pee, there is no controversy, and news crews don't need to cover the event.  I walk outside, find a tree, fire hydrant, or the car's tires.  This signifies that those items are mine.  We do get upset if a squirrel or chipmuk has tried to mark our restroom, but we pee over the smell to let them know a dog is in charge of the area.

I don't know how my humans feel about it because I haven't asked their opinion.  These are the same humans who think I should pee outside with no privacy no matter what the weather.  I have no respect for their opinions on the matter.  Besides, as I said earlier, they are easy to fool.

Upcoming Children's Art Contest.

I have good news for puppies and Human puppies who want to enter a contest.  I have written a book which needs illustrations with Angel and me in them.  I have decided that humom is not going to illustrate my book.  That drawing on top of this blog is a husky dog drawn by humom.  Yeah, I think you can understand why she isn't going to be the artist for my book.  She is not only artistically challenged, but she is even stick people art challenged.  My brothers can draw, but they don't have the time.  Therefore, I am asking for children 12 or under to send me your drawing of a Siberian husky.   The 10  chosen will get a $10.00 gift certificate from Amazon.  If you are chosen, you will draw a picture that will be used in my book.  You will also be given credit for your illustration.  If the book gets published, you can also see your name  printed in a book.  Isn't that cool?   Yes, Amazon does sell stuff for dogs.  I'm waiting on some Better Than Ears treats that should arrive soon.

I will have further details in future blogs.  I just couldn't wait to give my readers the good news.
