Good morning, All!
We did not like those pictures. No we did not. But you will notice that none of our kind are included? #1: We wouldn’t allow you to get us that wet. #2: If you did manage to get us that wet, you would never manage to keep us there long enough for a photograph.
8:22 am on September 26th, 2014
Greetings!
I hope my Alaskan family made it through the night safe and sound, and that there was not too much hogging for space under the bed!
DEREK JETER!
ML: Keep hanging in there! We are sisters, and we will do this together!
RIO! I hope your friend’s pug-eye is better.
Belle STARR: I have a confession about those sparkles….

Grizz and I wish you the most of the very best!
Headbumps and sparkles!

9:30 am on September 26th, 2014
Good morning all. Those were cute and funny pictures. Nothing bad today.
Glad all are safe up north. Happy job hunting to ML and Rose.
Banking situation is all straightened out. Jewel Foods did exactly what Howlers said they would do, and my account is once again in balance. No tom-foolery was involved.
Perfect fall day here. These days are to be cherished.
9:31 am on September 26th, 2014
Me too! Happy Birthday, Bella!
Tummies all around!
9:36 am on September 26th, 2014
We have our DDD home safe and…hurting but he is home. Thank dog for small favors.
We will and hope y’all will have a fun filled Friday!
9:37 am on September 26th, 2014
Pixie, happy bird day š
9:50 am on September 26th, 2014
HOH: Will DDD get tummies, too?
9:57 am on September 26th, 2014
DDD, Happy you are Home. Sorry for the Ouchies. š
Barb&Magpie: We thought your Question of yesterday had been Answered…but maybe not.
The Sudden Trip to the Orient was precipitated by a last minute invitation by Nanasan’s Dil. Two family members were unable to join her in HK so she asked Nanasan if she would like to go. The suite was already reserved and paid for, costs would be minimal, what was to stop her?
Besides Getting back Home you mean? Why Nothing, nothing at all.
9:59 am on September 26th, 2014
Hi, Rose! Sorry about Derek Jeter. Sob, sob.
10:04 am on September 26th, 2014
MASQUERS, At least the Yankees won last night, a great honor for Derek’s last time in pinstripes. sob, sob, sob, sob
10:07 am on September 26th, 2014
Rose: A most fitting exit for one of the most beloved players in the game.
Now excusez-moi…off to get ready for an early morning wonderfluffing appointment…and soon to be looking brand new ^..^
10:08 am on September 26th, 2014
Birthday!…Is it true? Our dear Rebecca is another year older?…snort!…She doesn’t look a day over 25 to tell youse the truth…heh!
10:15 am on September 26th, 2014
Our friends are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute! Happy bird day etc.
10:17 am on September 26th, 2014
Luna!…Please make sure Rebecca gets this birthday card….snort!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SNOWBELLA! Will cake be involved?
Maybe you can meet up with another (Hobbit-sized) Alaskan who will gracefully enter a new year tomorrow.
Ok everyone – today is going to be calm, peaceful and without misadventure, right? Right!
10:38 am on September 26th, 2014
Hobbit!….Tomorrow is the Hobbits birthday?…wow!
10:41 am on September 26th, 2014
Tupper&Gilly: Is there any Pie left from last night? If so, it’s always Good for Breakfast too you know (plaintive whimpering sounds).
10:42 am on September 26th, 2014
Rio: You choose the best cards!
10:54 am on September 26th, 2014
Happy Birthday to Rebecca today and C Hobbit tomorrow.
BSD, Thanks for the explanation re the trip. Maybe you mentioned it and we were reading every other word.
Now off to the grocery store, Menards and the post office.
10:55 am on September 26th, 2014
HEY!!! I failed to find the fun in that card for Rebecca. I was o.k. up until that taxi pulled up.
wtf, Rio!
10:57 am on September 26th, 2014
Good-Riddance!…heh!snort!
11:07 am on September 26th, 2014
BSD – funny thing about that pie. By the time it was cool enough to cut, everyone was ready for bed.
So the whole pie is still on the counter….whoa! Wait a minute. What was that blur? And WHERE DID THE PIE GO????
11:07 am on September 26th, 2014
That is a great card. (I’ll be humming Ode to Joy all day.)
11:17 am on September 26th, 2014
I’m not going to click on the link today…”wet,dogs” says it all.
Spence needs to start finding videos and articles of dogs in the snow. There are more sled dogs on this blog than any other tribe.
Speaking of sled dogs; HAPPY BIRTHDAY REBECCA!!!
HOH, I am sure DDD is going to be hurting today but tomorrow should be better. We are glad he is home.
11:21 am on September 26th, 2014
I have advice for DDD: Benedryl! It will help the swelling PLUS you won’t fight with other dogs. It’s a two-for!
11:40 am on September 26th, 2014
TC – don’t worry about that card. The story is that the nice doggie paid for a taxi and a vacation so that kitty could come and visit with us. We have extra catnip, fuzzy mice and maybe, just maybe a plate full of melted ice cream.
11:44 am on September 26th, 2014
Taxi!…That Kat is on a one-way ticket out of town…snort!
12:11 pm on September 26th, 2014
Rio! Moi????
12:54 pm on September 26th, 2014
Kat!…heh!heh!…No, the Kat in the birthday card…snort!
1:06 pm on September 26th, 2014
Whew! Thank dog Rio is not giving me the boot.
Here is a nice story about Canines for Warriors:

1:06 pm on September 26th, 2014
All Kats Unite!
Be they Feline or Canine – all Kats Together!
(Howlers, we happen to like your Siber Kat – she was fun to play with when she was here)
Rio – phhhhhbbbbbtttttttt
1:17 pm on September 26th, 2014
Now, mom is the only 2 legger in the house without yellow jacket stings/bites š
We are sure that is a blessing as she is ‘lergic to the formic acid. Don’t think she should offer to help.
1:18 pm on September 26th, 2014
And the rest of the family is 2 doors down getting rid of the neighbors BUGS! Dog help us.
1:27 pm on September 26th, 2014
Herbs, I wish you knew Meashka. She is my favorite. I love snuggling her.
1:50 pm on September 26th, 2014
Meashka, you are the princess/queen. Such a lady!
2:00 pm on September 26th, 2014
I take responsibility for my pack seriously, HOH. All 4-leggeds and 2-leggeds alike.
3:02 pm on September 26th, 2014
HOH: You are making me buggy! Are the neighbors bugs the biting kind?
DDD: You are absolutely NOT going near those yellow jackets nests again, are you? Or any other biting bugs!
Happy Birthday to Rebecca! and tomorrow to CHobbit! Our two Northern friends. May you both have a joyful day. And many more!
Hoping Rio’s friend’s eye is better today.
3:07 pm on September 26th, 2014
We are having the worst day ever. After weeks of problems with our water pump running when it shouldn’t run, Pop decided that today would be an excellent day to call them. He told Mom just as she was ready to go for a bike ride on her lunch hour, that someone was on his way. Now the guy can’t get the pump to prime. He has a water truck coming, but he is not sure that will work. The ‘rents thought they were going away for the weekend (for their 30th), but we are guessing that that is not gonna happen. So much for the money for the B&B and the Horse Ride tour. That will go down the same drain as all the water trying to prime a pump that will have to be replaced. We can’t win for trying here.
3:08 pm on September 26th, 2014
And as if all that were not bad enough, we can’t find T.C. who is likely hiding in that cellar where they guy now has the door opened. Mom’s head is splitting open.
3:20 pm on September 26th, 2014
Aw geez louise – we thought this was going to be a not-troublesome day.
T.C. – here, kitty, kitty, kitty……
3:25 pm on September 26th, 2014
RIO! This is why I love you….I almost sent that card to Rebecca. Instead, I sent her a fun snail mail card.
Hobbit’s birthday tomorrow? I must write this down on the Witte home calendar!
Kat, there is still time for you to visit me in the deli. I have 3 more days, and then I will be switched to another department.
Howlers: That sucks about the water pump, and the ‘rents missing out on their romantic 30th getaway. they will just have to postpone their 30th, and make a romantic getaway to the Iditarod.
Please don’t lose T.C.
3:28 pm on September 26th, 2014
Oh, I forgot. I got my first paycheck today. I can’t believe I made as much money this week as I did when I was 17. snort!
3:28 pm on September 26th, 2014
Happy Double Birthday to the Alaskans — today and tomorrow. And I bet the earthquake was just Mother Nature’s way of sending her very own early birthday greeting to the birthday girls.
3:33 pm on September 26th, 2014
Wookie&Teddy’s Dad: LOL.
Wose: Heh, heh. Kudos to You!
3:56 pm on September 26th, 2014
Interesting…your recent paycheck resembling that of your teenage years? What does this say about the economy…I ask youse.
3:57 pm on September 26th, 2014
Wose, so you really didn’t quit your job, you just changed departments. The deli department has to be one of the more difficult departments at a grocery store. I know I couldn’t do it at my age.
4:00 pm on September 26th, 2014
Wose, The 2014 Iditarod was supposed to be their romantic getaway for their 30th. There was fun, but no romance.
This weekend was already paid for, so if it ends up cancelled, they are that much more in debt for nothing. Oh, and even more in debt for this water pump thing. There will not be a reschedule. Every time they plan a trip, bad things happen.
4:53 pm on September 26th, 2014
B&M, I was going to quit, but the manager asked me to hang in, so I agreed. I may be trained as a cashier, which was the position I originally applied for.
Masquers, Yes, it is pretty embarrassing, isn’t it?
I am wondering how LouLou and Sammie are.
Also, I am wondering how Wolfie, BooBear, and Karen are.
5:06 pm on September 26th, 2014
I am here! I am an excellent hider!!
We finally have water, but we were strongly advised to have a new weel dug. Gasp! Mommy says we can’t afford that no way.
5:14 pm on September 26th, 2014
T.C., I am glad you are there!
5:14 pm on September 26th, 2014
T.C. – see, we tried to tell everyone that you were just over visiting with us while the commotion was going on, but they wouldn’t listen.
Hey, thanks for the great game of Fuzzy Mouse – it’s always more fun with extra paws.
Howlers’ Mom – we feel your pain. Really, we do….
5:21 pm on September 26th, 2014
Well, not weel.
5:39 pm on September 26th, 2014
Dear TC: Paws crossed for your ‘rents that all plans go as planned.
6:03 pm on September 26th, 2014
Glad they found you T.C. Hope the folks can now go on their planned trip this weekend.
6:23 pm on September 26th, 2014
Happy Birthday to Snowbella and CHobbit.
Rio’s card was great. I didn’t know you liked him best.
8:15 pm on September 26th, 2014
MollysMaw!…Now you know….snort!
8:17 pm on September 26th, 2014
Happy Birthday, Rebecca! May you spend your special day exactly as you wish!
9:26 pm on September 26th, 2014
Trampolines!…Did anyone see the hilarious trampoline video over on the right side of this here blog?…heh!heh!…You could not pay me enough to get on one of those things…grunt!
9:27 pm on September 26th, 2014
Stover!…I bet she is at the baseball game with her Bro!..heh!…I also bet she is not drinking beer and eating a hot-dawg…chorkel!
9:52 pm on September 26th, 2014
(((sigh!)))…Friday nights can be the loneliest on the blog….grunt!…My friend no longer has her friday nights out after work because of her new-ish job being in a new location…sniff!…This really makes her grumpy sometimes…sniff!…Like tonight.
10:15 pm on September 26th, 2014
Sorry, Riƶ. I fell asleep at the controls.
10:16 pm on September 26th, 2014
Baseball! Tomorrow night we go to a game! There will be beer and hotdogs for sure.
10:17 pm on September 26th, 2014
Maskers!…Does your fun and adventure never end?…gruffle!
10:21 pm on September 26th, 2014
It is a slow night on the blog, and we are going to make it slower. Night all.
10:32 pm on September 26th, 2014
Rio – how is your Friend’s pug-eye?
10:49 pm on September 26th, 2014
Tupper!…Her eye is fine today…snort!…She thinks something she is terribly allergic too got into it right before she left the busy-place yesterday…grunt!…Her eyes are her weakest link. So they are very susceptible to things….gah!
10:55 pm on September 26th, 2014
Book!..My Dear Friend Stover, we know you are busy with your brother right now, but we have to say to you me and my friend are totally obsessed with Karen Joy Fowler at this moment – her book is undefinable. Her writing style is amazing. Please. Please. Do no read anything about the book before you start the Story. Not even the back of the actual book cover jacket…snort!…Knowing nothing is the best experience you can have during this story….heh!..We of course are not nearly finished. Someone cannot focus at all tonight. What is wrong with her eyesight?..sniff!grunt!
10:59 pm on September 26th, 2014
Game!…Well, we will give up on reading and watch baseball instead, even though we are DYING to KNOW what will happen next in the book we are reading and Stover also has in her possession…snuffle!…I look forward to Stover’s perspective on the family story…wheeze!
11:23 pm on September 26th, 2014
Book!…I have to share this because it is something my friend knows first-paw…heh!…This is taken from “We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves”…snort!…Great writing!
“My mother always said it’s very rude when people who can’t sleep wake up people who can. My father had a different perspective. “You can’t imagine,” he’d told her once over a bleary breakfast when he’d poured his orange juice into his coffee and then salted it as well. “You can’t imagine the white-hot fury someone who can’t sleep feels toward the beautiful dreamer beside him.”
11:46 pm on September 26th, 2014
Game!…Back to baseball…heh!…The Rockies are winning so far…chuffle!….3 ta something less right now over San Diego. Another West Coast late night series. Totally unfair to me and SiberH – this being the last month of baseball for our team…snort!grumble!
11:54 pm on September 26th, 2014
Rio, I have to ask. Is that book, the beside yourself book, one that I can read? Or not. It sounds sort of interesting.
11:58 pm on September 26th, 2014
Happy Birthday, Rebecca, from all us here in Texas
ML
Belle

Staff: The banter between the pug and the professor are making moi curious too.
12:20 am on September 27th, 2014
Since Staff is being so non social I will say Happy Birthday to the Alaskans. And Rio that was a nice thing you did, sending the cat on vacation in your card. Cats love vacations. Unless they don’t.
12:21 am on September 27th, 2014
Hey Masquers. How’s it going out west?
12:34 am on September 27th, 2014
Staff!….I think you can read this book as so far and we are more than half way through it, there is no violence but I suspect I do not know all yet..no, it can go anywhere from here, but i think it is a very wonderful story so far…snort!..I love her writing style…i cannot see. good night.
12:42 am on September 27th, 2014
Thanks Rio,
I might have to try it. I have been reading books I do not care for lately. They may be free on Bookbub but that does not mean I have to finish them
Night all… We are much better here after our day under the quilt. We will be even better tomorrow I know.
Here is what I was doing today

Playing in my quilt room. I gave up on organizing the mess in the spare bedroom and decided to have some fun. Now all I have to do is quilt it.
1:29 am on September 27th, 2014
Our Lady is just getting home. She says thank youse for all the birthday wishes and cards. She had a good day with all the lack of events in the right place as instructed. Some wayward events thwarted her non-events but she had a good birthday due in large part because of all youse.
Night birthday cakes and happy early birthday to our favorite Hobbit.
1:39 am on September 27th, 2014
Breaking news: Another earthquake–also located as the first near Talketna. 5.0
2:14 am on September 27th, 2014
CHobbiti: Yeep! Not another one! Could this be an aftershock?
Will have to check it out.
While I have your attention I’d like to send you a special pre-birthday wish for the best day ever.
Tomorrow is a day to have your cake and eat it too. Maybe a birthday brunch with mimosas is in the cards for you.
Whatever comes your way I hope it is WONDERFUL!
2:18 am on September 27th, 2014
Sorry, Alice. A new show called Forever got my attention. By the time it was over and I got back to the blog you were gone.
Good to know Staff is feeling better and back to playing in her quilt room.
