The vet, the races, and the weather


Mort's fan club

Every other dog I have ever taken to the vet:
Me: Come on then, vet time!
Dog: No no no this is awful I'm not going you'll have to drag me
Vet nurses: Oh don't worry sweetie we won't hurt you
Dog: *Cowers*

Mort:
Me: Come on then, vet time!
Mort: AWESOME! Time to get my STRUT on and see my BITCHIZ
Vet nurses: Oh Mort, oh Mort, you are so wonderful
Mort: Ladies, please. One at a time!

Fast, but thirsty

Michael: I don't mind racing on the scooter with Mort pulling it
Me: Awesome, maybe you'll do really well because you have a sense of balance
Mort: I will find all the puddles on the trail and lie down in them and drink while I'm lying down

Climate change

*Every year for the last 8ish years...*
Winter: I'm gonna come and make you COLD
Me: Ok, I'm waiting
Winter: Get your jumper on and prepare to be COLD!
Me: It's the Solstice already and I'm not convinced
Winter: You're gonna get properly cold soon!
Me: Right, bring it on
Spring: *Jaws theme*
Me: NO! NO! NOT YOU!
Winter: Oh well, maybe next year

Cow hoof

*Trying to work in the living room with Mort in the bedroom*
Mort: Vikkkiiiiiiiii
Me: What?
Mort: Look! I'm eating my cow hoof
Me: Oh, that's nice. Good job! I'm going to keep working in the living room now.
...
Mort: Vikkkkiiiiiii
Me: WHAT
Mort: Watch me eat my cow hoof
Me: I need to do my work, you can eat it by yourself.
Mort: NO I CAN'T

Attention needed

Mort: AHAHAHAHA I have this
Me: I know, I gave it to you.
Mort: Are you SURE you meant to give it to me?
Me: Yup! It's supposed to keep you occupied while I'm working
Mort: It is so awesome though, are you sure you won't play?
Me: Glad you like it!
Mort....I'm going to rub it all over your legs

A bad influence

Lewis: Quick Mort let's play
Mort: Oh no, Vikki will yell at us
Lewis: Ok but I'm gonna move in this jerky flirty way and stare at you
Mort: OMG I BITE YOU AND HIT YOU AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Me: CUT IT OUT GUYS
Lewis: Oh Mort, how could you.
Mort: I'm a bad dog.

What are inaudible dialogues?

Simply put, an inaudible dialogue is a conversation that nobody can hear, because it happens in your head. Is it still real? I think so, but if you're a stickler for reality, perhaps read My Science Game instead. I started writing inaudible dialogues as Facebook posts, years ago. Usually, something had passed between me and a cat that was so obviously a conversation that I had to share it. The fact that no words were spoken didn't matter. I am about to post an archive of all the Facebook dialogues that I saved, but most have been lost. They were always meant to be temporary, because they capture a snapshot of that moment shared between me and the cat, dog, shower curtain or whatever other creature or object was involved. However, they seem to be popular, so I will post them in this blog for others to enjoy. As unreal as inaudible dialogues seem, they capture real life. They can happen at any time, while you're doing any boring, mundane thing. To me, the dialogues wi...
