Greetings!
Hey, congratulations on the Barnes and Noble thing Spence!
Nice imagining of Chet!
It is a tip-top weather day here in Westchester…too bad I’m at the busy place.
Melanie and Zoe, I hope each day brings more healing.
Gramp and Callie, you are in my thoughts.
G&BB, holding youse guys, your mom, and dad close to my heart. Strong prayers coming at you! Keep us updated!
9:11 am on October 22nd, 2012
Good morning, Rose!
I’m off to the busy place for a very long day well before the crack of dawn which won’t happen for a few hours.
Have a great day all youse.
9:47 am on October 22nd, 2012
Good Morning, good morning, good morning to you.
(Actually looked this up and forgot that I know the song from a FILM)
So Good Morning . . .

Chet is looking dapper this morning. We’re headed down the hills!
9:51 am on October 22nd, 2012
Good morning. We love that image of Chet.
Kat caught a black and white critter this morning. She ran around with it, but didn’t kill it. Dima took care of that part. Then 3 of us took turns rolling around with it. We ate our breakfasts al fresca. We love that!
But when Mom and Pop left us, they did not hug and kiss us, for some reason. Kat is especially hurt because Mom told her to stay away. 🙁
10:04 am on October 22nd, 2012
That isn’t how I picture Chet. Wonderful about B&N.
Good morning all.
10:09 am on October 22nd, 2012
Image!…Nice art work but that’s not Chet….grunt!
10:16 am on October 22nd, 2012
Good mornin’, Chet (Lookin’ Good)
Good mornin’ to Everyone
Good mornin’ to Yoooou!
Thank you, Melanie. That was a rousing Good Morning and a Good Start to our (Mon)day.
10:20 am on October 22nd, 2012
Love the dog art work! It isn’t my idea of what Chet looks like but it is very good.
Spence, Congratulations on the B&N thing! I am sure it will help more people find and love the Chet and Bernie series.
10:25 am on October 22nd, 2012
Nice art work Anna. We have to agree with others above that it is not how we picture Chet.
That is great news about Barnes and Noble.
Hope to hear good news from G&B today.
Barb is leaving for awhile. Something about changing her address for voting, plus actually voting there today.
10:27 am on October 22nd, 2012
Fellow Sibers, Congratulations on the you know what! That is a fun way to begin the new week.
GO GIANTS!!!
10:42 am on October 22nd, 2012
That drawing shows a very cute dog.
This is more the way we picture an intimadating Chet.
10:58 am on October 22nd, 2012
Spencer: A Dog On It for only 99 pennies? That’s a fantastic deal!
Anna: Your dog looks way better than my rendition of Chet which is a stick figure.
Wake up!
Melanie: I remember that song…it should be taken with a double dose of caffeine. 🙂
11:01 am on October 22nd, 2012
Oh you fraqrant dogs!
OleyHowlers: You did? All of you? Pea Yoo.
11:08 am on October 22nd, 2012
Siber, I knew you would be proud. I caught that guy! Me me me !!!! I thought Mommy would be so proud of me. Pondering…
11:26 am on October 22nd, 2012
Kat, I am proud of you …all of you! Moms just don’t understand when it comes to the black and white critters.
11:31 am on October 22nd, 2012
Halloween is coming….
I have a head cold this morning, so I passed on my weekly stint at the Rescue Ink animal shelter.
12:08 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Terry: Spooky shot.
12:15 pm on October 22nd, 2012
We kinda think that the image of Chet is probably like everyone’s image of heaven. Depends on who is doing the imagining.
Congrats Kat and Howlers. I think I still smell just wonderful after my adventure at the beach. Especially when it rains. If your mom goes to Agway and gets the anti skunk stuff and some orange scented Dawn dishwashing soap, RUN! She is trying to take that gorgeous perfume off of you.
Gramp is at the eye doctor right now. He really can’t see much of anything. After his cataract surgery, his trifocals are completely wrong. Poor guy can’t read, or drive. Stairs are an adventure, and he has to sit just an exact distance from the tv to see the picture. So he has been listening to the radio a lot.
12:42 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Youse guys can’t believe how good we smell. And best of all, other critters now don’t think we are critter-eating dogs, so we can sneak up on ’em. heh heh
Moms: can’t live with ’em…can’t teach ’em new tricks.
12:51 pm on October 22nd, 2012
I can’t imagine trying to wash 4 Sibers, heh!
12:58 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Dawson, you need the double dose of caffeine just to keep up with the tap dancing!
OleyHowlers, (shaking head here) youse guys . .
Hope Gramp feels better soon.
The Element is inspected and passed! Nothing wrong with that tire now!
Pretty here. Very windy, gusts up to 35 mph. The cover is still on the pool. After all of that yesterday, I explained to Zoë that I didn’t have trouble going into town, but I would not be doing anything physical.
1:01 pm on October 22nd, 2012
OleyHowlers: Sneak up on ’em? Even I can smell you coming and I’m a two legged!
It is snowing and blowing here. One side of driveway was blown clear – the other had a foot and a half of snow drifts, especially high at the front door. Fun! and winter games.
1:02 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Kat, where will you guys be sleeping tonight?
1:17 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Sending Positive Healing Thoughts for Gramp.
For his beloved Callie, especially tomorrow.
For Gus&BooBear’s dad to receive good news today.
1:21 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Dawson: I feel for you. Shoveled more snow yesterday; drifted snow is the worse–it’s like moving concrete. -4 right now so the negative temps begin.
Anna: love the drawing –the benign Chet that only Bernie sees.
B&M: love the photo–the working Chet that everyone else sees and fears.
OleyHowlers: oh dear. You are in for a bunch of baths–fun for everyone.
Terry: the shelter up here doesn’t allow any black cats to be adopted the month of October due to some people’s nefarious tricks.
1:37 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Mom can’t imagine washing 4 Sibers either.
Fellow Sibers, Mom would help your folks do this if she were there.
I will take this opportunity once again to point out that getting skunked does not stop us Sibers. The skunks only means of defense does not work on us. The skunk dies.
1:53 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Mom and I were just looking through Dishlickers for an address and were wondering if those whose addresses are in there would mind being moved to the Contact page, which would be much more convenient than digging through all those e-mails. We are moving ours. Just sing out your preferences and we will take care of it, or anyone can do their own. With the holidays coming up we think that this will be a time saver, and we have nothing but time.
1:56 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Also, there is a place on the contact list for birthdays, which would also be nice to have at hand.
1:56 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Macy: That is a very good idea.
1:57 pm on October 22nd, 2012
About Anna’s Chet drawing: we think the “goodies” see Chet this way. He is a happy, playful guy around people whose hearts are good, like Bernie, Charlie, and Pobre.
The photo that B&M posted is how the perps and gangbangers see Chet. Hey, we had a thought there…it is gone now.
Terry, great photo of the black cat. C.Hobbit’s shelter is smart not to adopt out black cats in October.
1:57 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Macy,
I don’t know if my address is in there, but if it is, I would appreciate your help in relocating it. I’m kinda like Siber-H, not techno-savvy at all.
2:01 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Rose, your address is in there, we will move it. Would you provide your B-day too?
2:01 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Princess, I will be sleeping in my comfy little bed of course, unless Mommy lets me sleep in the big bed tonight. Why not?
I will speak for the rents on the address in contact list thingie. If ours is there, it would be great if you move it to Contacts, Macy. Mommy thinks she will be sort of busy tonight. (With what? I don’t know).
2:01 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Macy, Whatever you want to do s fine with me.
2:10 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Howlers, will do.
Siber H, yours is not there. If you will send it to dishlickers, along with pertinent b-day info, I will enter it.
2:13 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Macy, my birthday is one of the great mysteries of life. :^)
2:14 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Oleys, So therefore….? We think you expressed it very well. Chet has elements of both of those dogs.
Like the idea Macy had for addresses. We have not updated ours, so we need to put oue new Woodstock address in there.
2:15 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Terry, that is a great picture. Hope you feel tip-top soon!
2:20 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Barb, we let the “so therefores” up to the 2-leggeds, but we think you’re closing in. heh heh
2:28 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Arrrrgggg, I do not know what happened, but now everything from the Plunderers Addresses is missing. I made a new file from the ones that I had opened, it is called address, and it contains everything that I had opened, but i lost a lot too. Shoot me now.
I have Rose, Howlers, Staff, Dawson, Bear, Wookie, G&BB, T & G, C Harris and Wolfie, mailing addresses only, no SDD or birthday, everything else seems to be gone with the wind. *headdesk x3*
2:42 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Macy: I went to Dishlickers and the Addresses folder is there. It has my email address from Sept. 9, 2011, when I sent it before. I’ll go ahead and put my mailing address and birthday on another email as well.
2:43 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Terry: I love the black cat.
2:45 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Well, we are glad others can still see them. We just get a message that there are no e-mails in the folder. *twilight zone music*
2:46 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Macy: The folder looked empty at first, but Now it is there. No worries.
2:47 pm on October 22nd, 2012
I do not know when my birthday is.
2:48 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Macy: The folder on Dishlicher’s is “Addresses.” I also notice the folder “Plunderer’s Addresses” but that is not the one I used. That one is empty.
2:53 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Yep, the empty one is where there was some other information, I do not know WTH happened to it.
Wookie, your SDD is one of the missing items.
Staff, the address for you is in Minneapolis. Is that correct?
2:54 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Yep, the empty one is where there was some other information, I do not know WTH happened to it.
Wookie, your SDD is one of the missing items.
Staff, the address for you is in Minneapolis. Is that correct?
OK Mr. Husky, how about your mom’s b-day then.
2:55 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Ok, I am sending Mom to work now. I think she is responsible for all the confusion. Go. Now.
2:59 pm on October 22nd, 2012
My birthday is the 4th of July. Mommy says it is a made up birthday.
3:09 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Poor Macy’s Mom. She only wanted to help. We do appreciate her efforts, Min-Pin.
Barb&Magpie: Yes, now we remember the photo of that brave canine solider…chasing a perp of another variety.
3:14 pm on October 22nd, 2012
My dear Kat. Whatever are we going to do with you? Blurr-off is within 48 hours and here you are (not) smelling like a Rose.
3:31 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Hope Gramps feels better and Terry too.
Isn’t Callie headed in for her surgery tomorrow? Best thoughts for her too.
3:31 pm on October 22nd, 2012
I don’t know when my mom’s birthday is.
3:41 pm on October 22nd, 2012
I smell really good, Masquers. You will love it.
Macy, thanks for trying those address moves. It will get figured out.
4:09 pm on October 22nd, 2012
I think we will wait a bit to update the address, just to make sure all is straightened out.
4:24 pm on October 22nd, 2012
B&M: You don’t plan on moving again soon do you? snicker.
4:26 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Masquers, I think maybe Nurse Lisa can help Kat out. She has many soothing oils that she uses for patients. I get lavender. Maybe that will work on Kat.
4:55 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Macy, to move or not to move, that is the question. I leave it up to you. Was doing okay about not doing anything physical until life set in. I knew I shouldn’t hane laughed at the OlyHowers. The cover of the pool blew off. Concrete blocks are great. Maybe tomorrow I can rest.
4:55 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Rose: Lavender is very soothing. It is one of our favorites.
5:05 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Masquers, NOT! We have to at least wait till the paint dries!
6:11 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Oh I am so happy.
I just ordered Chinese takeout. YUM.
This is one advantage over living on a farm that is 54 miles one way from the nearest Chinese restaurant. This food is only 5 blocks away.
I really don’t feel like cooking and am treating myself. (And the parents)
Pickup at 5:45. Dinner at 6:00
6:21 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Macy, please feel free to update ours. We think u posted that you had mom’s info. Her bday is 09/29/1952. Had her big 60 in the hospital with Dad (the first hospital after the seizure).
We thought Dad was going to get to go home today. He’s out of ICU and the 1st dr said maybe today. Looks like tomorrow since it’s already after 5:00 here. He feels much better, showered and shaved. Physical therapy omegas his release without cane or walker. No word on pathology yet. Kinda hope they wait for followup visit for that. Let us get over the surgery first. He has a followup scheduled for next week. Fingers crossed snd prayers!
6:23 pm on October 22nd, 2012
“okayed” his release!
6:31 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Gus&BooBear: So happy to hear your dad is coming home!!!
(whispering) we cannot believe your mom is the age you said she is. she looks so young in the photo with Spence.
6:47 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Some fabulous news out of Rescue Ink today. Joan Jett, who has been the official greeter at the shelter outside their front door got to her furever home today. This girl is as sweet as any dog I’ve ever met, but she is pure muscle. When I walked her last week, they set me up with two leashes, and I needed them. Somebody just walked off with an angel.
7:12 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Oh, Terry, that is such good news! Hooray for Joan Jett!!!
7:14 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Glad to hear such an encouraging report, G&B. Baby steps.
7:38 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Mom is almost finished with “Down the Rabbit Hole”. Which is the second book in the Ingrid series?
7:46 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Behind the Curtain, Book 2 and Into the Dark, Book 3
7:50 pm on October 22nd, 2012
G&BB, I am so relieved to hear this good news about your dad! (whispering) I agree with Bear, your mom looks half her age! Keeping fingers crossed and prayers coming.
7:54 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Terry: Joan Jett is a just a beautiful dog! I am so happy she has found her forever home!!
8:02 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Punching out now….Prof has to get up at 5:30 for his eight o’clock class. That means I have to get up at 4:30. Yawn!!!!!
Good night youse guys!
Good day, Liz!
Good night Belle Starr!
Good night Rio! Good night Beau!
8:11 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Game!…Seven is on!…wheeze!…And we just finished our walk…cough!sneeze!…This is going to be a couch cushion chewing, paw biting game…snort!snort!
8:12 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Rose!…Goodnight!…snuffle!…Expect a delivery this coming Thursday!….chuffle!
8:18 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Rose!…It could get there by Wednesday sans marauding goats…sniff!…I know you might be a little fried that day, so have the Prof keep his good eye on the lookout for it…wheeze!
8:25 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Mommy and Daddy soaked me with some weird concoction, and then hosed me with ice cold water. I was shivering like crazy. Then they made me still stay outside. But I have finally been allowed in, and Mommy is loving me up. I’m very tired and heading in to lie (Bee?) in front of the fireplace.
Mommy says ice cream Frosty Paws is planned for the near future.
8:30 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Joan Jett looks like a great girl. Glad she found her furever home.
We are all smelling boring now. Kat will be blurable on Wednesday.
8:33 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Howlers!…Life with the Howlers is never boring…heh!heh!…Me and Beau wouldn’t be caught dead getting skunked…sniff!…We never go out at night unless we are sick but that doesn’t happen very often…chuffle!
8:45 pm on October 22nd, 2012
My Dear Niece Kat – In the last couple of days you have counter surfed, caught (all by yourself) a woods kitty, and used proper grammar. I guess this is progress. Sigh.
8:51 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Gus&BooBear Wonderful report on your dad…prayers and positive thoughs continue.
8:57 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Wow!…Wow!Wow!…snort!…This game is Extreme!…heh!…I love when I can use that word…snorkel!
9:19 pm on October 22nd, 2012
I am watching the game smiling, but my toenails are still gripping the carpet.
9:21 pm on October 22nd, 2012
SiberH!…You and I both know how sneaky the Dirty Birds are…sniff!…This is still a couch-cushion-chewing game by all means…wheeze!puffle!…Its never over till its over.
9:24 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Bases!…Are loaded!…heh!heh!
9:26 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Kat: Yes, “lie” is correct.
9:26 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Twice!…I’ve never seen a ball hit the bat twice in one swing…wow!…What a game!
9:32 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Loaded!…Bases loaded again with Giants…heh!heh!…Speaking of which, I wonder where Rebecca is tonight…sniff!
9:32 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Whew, yes, I’m still up. Been working as Momager.
First: I’m happy that G&BB’s Dad is going to go HOME! AND that Jane went to her forever home.
Now part of what I was doing today was working with YSAS’s new photo shoot done by a fashion photographer. I believe there is some sort of auction coming up? Well, I asked YSAS if I could take one of those photos and have him sign it and put it up for Snowhook’s auction. He said, “Of course!”
Not going to show you the picture, but Bella should check her SDD!
TTFN
9:43 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Gasp!…I want that photo of Clarkson very very badly..snort!…I swear i will save every treatie penny up for it…chuffle!
9:43 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Gus and BooBear – give your dad lots of purrs and head bumps to help him feel better soon!
Callie is going for her surgery tomorrow. Gramp is pretty concerned, but he does gave faith in the animal hospital. And by coincidence, there was an article in today’s newspaper about an award for excellence just awarded to that hospital. We are taking that as a good sign
And Rio – Mama says to tell you that she is working hard on her auction items. She is trying to come up with something that will tempt your little Pug heart.
9:46 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Gurgle!…Now Golinka is making stuff. I will have to starve before the auction just so I can bid on all the great items….wheeze!…I don’t think i can give up my treaties…sob!
9:50 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Rio – simple solution: take Beau’s treatie budget.
9:56 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Budget!…Tupper, his treatie budget has been depleted several times now…grunt!…The Beaus-mobile is still locked up at the pound because of his mismanagement of funds. He has taken to eating my left-over kibble to sustain himself…snort!
10:08 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Callie & Gramp, You will be in our prayers and thoughts tomorrow.
We love you. You are a beautiful girl.
10:28 pm on October 22nd, 2012
We know that Callie is going to be fine because of the great Karma earned by letting the emergency go ahead of her on Thursday. But we will do some praying also. It never hurts.
Gus and BooBear we are very happy with the news of your Dad and still have you in our prayers also.
It looks like Maggie will not get to watch another Tiger/Cards World Series. Unless something really exciting happens.
Mr.Staff was lurking on the blog to see what was going on with me again. What a sneak.
No cushions are in danger tonight in spite of Mr.Husky’s toenails.
10:29 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Thanks Siber and thanks to everyone who has sent good thoughts to our Gramp and Callie.
We have to get her to the animal hospital by 7 am tomorrow, so we are going to say goodnight
Good dreams to all of you. ( and Kat, don’t worry. Next rainstorm, you will smell lovely again)
10:38 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Staff!…I could make up stuff about ya to throw Mr Staff off the trail. How about that?…heh!
10:45 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Back from watching the debate and to say please add our Good Thoughts and Prayers for Callie tomorrow morning. Hugs to Gramp as he goes through this stressful time.
Good Night All – Bear
11:02 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Defence!…It’s like the Dirty Bird defense has been paid off to lose game after game…heh!….The bobbling and fumbling of the ball happening over and over again…snort!…Unbelievable, and yet very enjoyable…chorkel!
11:03 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Ah, better not Rio. I might get confused. ;-D
11:05 pm on October 22nd, 2012
We are going to sleep soon.
Tomorrow I will make a statement about this baseball game.
I’m afraid to say anything tonight.
night all
11:06 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Staff!…I hope you have been busy making a lovely Wall-Quilt for the Auction…snort!…We need all the quilts we can get this year…wuffle!
11:11 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Yawn! What a long day. I am glad to be home and sooner than later I plan on being my warm, soft bed without any baseball toys.
G&BB: thanks for the update. Best thought and prayers for your pop.
Callie: best wishes for your and Gramp.
Kat: What have you done you silly girl?
11:14 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Wednesday!…You know what? I have changed my pug-mind…grunt!..I am going to root for the Giants in the World Series…heh!heh!…I’ve come to admire these guys a helluva lot over the League Playoff Championship games…wuffle!…I want the Giants to win it all dammit!…heh!heh!
11:16 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Rebecca!…Finally!…sniff!…I thought you were a goner.
11:26 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Rio: No, I’m not a goner, just very tired. I have a surprise for the auction. I also want thank all youse for your continues support is Snowhook. Rio, I have seen the new photo of out YSAS and it is good! We may have to take up a collection to supplement your treatie budget.
11:27 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Exciting!….Very!…heh!..My friend says we have to throw in the towel and go up to bed now….grump!…Her screwed-up-busy-place is awaiting her in the morning…gruffle!…But I feel the right team will prevail even if we do not watch!….WOOOOOOO!
11:30 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Goodnight!…Rebecca, we will talk more about surprises and the Auction and do not forget the Holiday Boutique later-alligator!…snorkel!
11:32 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Well if the Cards stage a dramatic come back I will be mightily pissed. I am going to bed now also. 3 outs left in the 9th and it is raining hard. I hope nobody gets hurt in the mud.
Night all.
11:33 pm on October 22nd, 2012
Gator! Since when did we get a gator in this here blog?
Night, all.
12:33 am on October 23rd, 2012
I find it hard to believe that there IS any leftover kibble for Beau to scrounge. Heh-heh!
Niters
