Chetspeak on Sunday
On this particular night, my pal Iggy who lives next door got a little restless and did his yip-yip-yipping once or twice, and Mr. Parsons tried to shush him, and later a toilet flushed in their house. Our neighbor on the other side, old man Heydrich, went outside not long after that, and what was this? Whisk-whisk, whisk-whisk. He was sweeping the dirt from his part of the sidewalk onto ours? I barked, the low muffled kind of bark, not wanting to disturb Bernie. The whisk-whisking stopped, and old man Heydrich muttered something about curs, a new one on me. Then came the pad-pad-pad of his slippers, his door opening and closing, and quiet. I dropped down into dreamland. Did a car come down the street sometime later, moving slow, pausing in front of our place, driving on? Maybe. Dreams can be so strong, and then you wake up and poof! It doesnāt work the other way. You always remember real life. Sort of. But forget all that.

Happy Egg Day!!!!!
I love dreaming. I do it almost all the time. Then Mom says “bed, Dima” and POOF! It is gone. What’s up with that?
I wanted to let youse know that my appetite has returned home. Oh yes it has!!!!
9:21 am on December 29th, 2013
I’m glad you’re feeling better Dima.
Good morning Chet and all.
9:23 am on December 29th, 2013
Good morning, everyone! Chetspeak, gotta love it! Dima we are twirling about your appetite š Egg day yahoo. Daddy Dawg has promised us bacon and eggs for brunch (whatever brunch is, but it sounds like food). Mom says to say we have fotos of both Macy and BSD showing. Wowser, Friends!

Melanie: I loved the English sentence. Thank you.
Getting rid of two “hads”: “All the faith he once had actually had no effect on the outcome of his life.” However, it would be clearer with no “hads”: “His faith did not effect the outcome of his life.” That was fun.
9:47 am on December 29th, 2013
Did anyone catch the ‘Butt Goal’ that won the Sabres game?
The coyotes goalie was out of the net and the puck went into the back of his pants. When he backed up into the crease he scored a goal against himself.

Happy Egg Day to all. Dima, glad your appetite is back. Woooohooo!
Love Chetspeak, thanks Admin and Spence. Who is Paul Blair?
10:03 am on December 29th, 2013
Bee, the loss of all those “hads” loses the fact that his faith is no more.
10:17 am on December 29th, 2013
OK, answered our own question. Paul Blair was a MLB player, born in 1944. Played for Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees, and Cincinnati Reds.
Getting really cold here today. They are saying we will have almost a 50 degree drop from the upper 40s yesterday.
We got 3 seed catalogs in the mail this week! Is it almost Spring?
10:28 am on December 29th, 2013
Howlers: It’s difficult to understand the meaning. The first two “hads” could be someone discussing him (not his faith) as in the past. It could also mean that he once had faith and lost it. I took the first “hads” as referring to him and the second two “hads” as referring to his faith.
I think I need some coffee….
10:37 am on December 29th, 2013
Egg Day! Count me in! Eggs Benedict here…Yum.
B: Of course we read the sentence with with not one, not two, but three “had”s. In need of cawfee here too.
Sammie: Butt Goal! That’s a Riot. Especially against one’s own team.
Hounds: And What Kind of Sunday is it? We Depend on youse to tell us these things you know.
Rio: When you are up and at ’em, M says to check your SDD.
Diane: Saw you on Last Nights Post…Come join us here.
Go Dima!
10:43 am on December 29th, 2013
B&M: A 50 degree drop? Yikes! Even though you decided not to go north the temperatures are coming to you.
Staff: Looked at the link you posted late last night. You have got to be kidding me. That’s something Alice or Abbie would come up with. Heh.
11:06 am on December 29th, 2013
Spiffy….spiffy Sunday. OK BSD. Didn’t realize we has let the “ball” drop.
11:09 am on December 29th, 2013
Can’t understand why the 2 leggers don’t appreciate my bringing pond water into the house and dribbling it everywhere.
11:18 am on December 29th, 2013
Dima, We are glad you are eating. Mom says, “Good Boy”
Maggie, How are you doing after your counter surfing adventure yesterday?
Good Morning All
11:33 am on December 29th, 2013
My comment of 10:28 probably would have made more sense if I had mentioned that the sentence in question is in third person narration which uses past tense to describe what a character is going through in the character’s present. Here’s an example from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter Two: “Harry had plunged his hand into [his bag], experienced a stabbing pain in the fourth finger of his right hand, and withdrawn it to see a lot of blood.”
Okay, I’ll stop now.
11:37 am on December 29th, 2013
Greetings!
Dima, it is so good to hear that you have your appetite back! Yipeee!
Also read about your friend’s accident. Prayers are being said.
BooBear, You don’t know how good it makes me feel to hear your pop is feeling better!
Wyatt, Are you still letting your mama hold you? I am sure her hugs and kisses must feel very good. Did the Giant let your mama hold him and give him tummies and kisses like you?
Last night, Grizz and I watched I CONFESS (very good, better tha I remembered), streamed LAW and ORDER, BBC, streamed a special about Paul McCartney making his album KISSES FROM THE BOTTOM, and a documentary about the making of MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR. Can you tell we kind of like the Beatles?
Belle Starr, Did you get tummies from the Pixie?
11:39 am on December 29th, 2013
Siber, Nothing happened to me. Barb was a little concerned that my stomach would bloat or I might get the “scoots” but no worries.
BSD, Yes, yesterday it hit 50 degrees in some areas around Chicago. It is about 30 right now, but dropping to near 0 by tonight.
Barb is staying inside and working on a jigsaw puzzle.
11:39 am on December 29th, 2013
Oh, I forgot, Kat looks so sweet in front of the fire.
Yesterday we also gave a gift to the folks that own the little cabin, and two big smoky raw hides to their two big Akitas, Linc and Leia.
11:47 am on December 29th, 2013
I love jigsaw puzzles.
11:50 am on December 29th, 2013
Would you look at this nose? What’s not to love?
12:05 pm on December 29th, 2013
Dawson, just saw you on the Weather Channel…..-18 is that even possible? Wowser!
12:13 pm on December 29th, 2013
Darah, That is a very dirty nose. My nose has never had a drop of mud on it…shudder
BooBear, We are very thankful that your dad is improving.
12:21 pm on December 29th, 2013
Hi everyone. After all the chaos and running of November and December, we are now just bored to tears here. Not much else to say. Maybe it’s time for a nap.
12:24 pm on December 29th, 2013
Siber Mr H Our Sibers in the past were known for excvation. And you say you don’t? What kind of Siber are y”all?
12:28 pm on December 29th, 2013
Darah, our noses always look like that. Those of us who started out life with nice black noses permanently lost that look. We love to dig, and there are plenty of wet areas near the creek that are esoecially fun.
Maggie, it has been mild here the past few days, but that is about to change for us too. By Thursday, the high will be 16, and the low will be close to 0.
Today, it is raining cats and kats.
Siber, look! A purebred Siberian Husky team is pulling the Olympic torch. How cool is that!
12:28 pm on December 29th, 2013
Bee, Barb has several 300 large piece Ravensburger puzzles. Those are her favorites, and she does them over and over. Very relaxing.
Barb just finished making out 10 checks for year end donations. All but one went to environmental and rescue groups. The checks were small, but every little bit helps, right?
12:36 pm on December 29th, 2013
HOH, I am a master digger. In fact, I am starting work on a basement for our house. We don’t have mud here…just sand. That is why I don’t ever have a muddy nose.
Fellow Sibers, Thanks for the photo. That is way cool!
Barb, RIGHT!
1:08 pm on December 29th, 2013
Good afternoon,
Love Chetspeak Sundays.
It is also a pleasure to make youse guys go for more coffee. Heh, heh.
Darah, make sure you don’t go out during bear season with the makeup on your nose.
Getting ready to leave. I have put a tarp on the Subaru. They are calling for rain, sleet then up to six inches of snow. This way when Zoƫ decided to go somewhere tomorrow morning it will be much easier to get the car clear.
I have finished that and a nap and now it is time to pack. Yuck
1:13 pm on December 29th, 2013
Barb: I have a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle of van Gogh’s Starry Night which I haven’t started yet. Ravenburger has something called a “Puzzle Store” that has areas where you can put pieces, a board for the puzzle and an area that holds the puzzle together when you close it in the “store.” That way the puzzle is portable.
1:26 pm on December 29th, 2013
Melanie, we will be thinking of you on your trip and sending happy thoughts for your stint thing tomorrow. We will also be thinking of ZoĆ« alone in the snowstorm. Must she really go somewhere tomorrow. Gah! (Whispering) perhaps that nice woman who lives down the street can help her. š
1:33 pm on December 29th, 2013
B., the Puzzle Store is just what I need. Thanks for the info. I liked to have a puzzle on the dining room table when I had my house before my move to ski country, but I can’t commit the space here. The dining room table is my only table along with the kitchen counter seating so it gets a lot of use. Now I will plan a raid on Sam’s house to get my puzzles and my Far Side books.
1:50 pm on December 29th, 2013
Melanie, We will be with you in thoughts, spirit, and prayers. I’m glad you are leaving today because of the storm. We will also be thinking of Zoe.
1:55 pm on December 29th, 2013
The 1,000 piece ones are not to our liking, especially the ones with small pieces that are all shaped the same. Barb can do the 300 piece in a day or two then put it away again.
Melanie, good luck tomorrow. Glad you are leaving today rather than fighting all that white stuff in the morning. We agree, Zoe should not be going out tomorrow morning. You could tell her to stay home, but we have a feeling she doesn’t always listen.
1:57 pm on December 29th, 2013
Olympics!….The Olympic trials are on right now…snort!…Ski jumping…zowww!
2:01 pm on December 29th, 2013
Hmm…thought this was posted…guess not.
Love the picture of Darah!
Rose: Movie marathon…you and Grizz are having an excellent time at the little cabin I see.
B: Portable jigsaw puzzles…that’s for me.
B&M: So THAT’s our problem…too many pieces for the pea brain to handle.
Sammie: Sorry about losing your Far Side loaners from MPM.
BooBear: Loved hearing your good news. You are in our thoughts.
ZoĆ«: Don’t go anywhere tomorrow!
Melanie: Thinking of you and sending love.
Riƶ! Today is Seahawk Sunday in these parts.
2:02 pm on December 29th, 2013
Two things—First, MPM we are always up for a good raid if you need back up. Second, Melanie, we will offer up our services to sit on Zoe so she doesn’t go anywhere or do anything. Raiding and sitting—two things we do well as long as the sitting isn’t followed by the word still.
2:16 pm on December 29th, 2013
Commander Rio – we are watching too. Did you see that a dinner last night they gave all the women ski jumpers their very own Stormy Kromer caps.
2:28 pm on December 29th, 2013
MPM: You can order the Ravenburger Puzzle Store at Amazon.
3:31 pm on December 29th, 2013
Teddy: Wow. Great advertisement for SK.
Riƶ: You mentioned your friend might be taking down your little tree today. Mom remembered hearing when she was a child that the tree could stay up until the 6th of January, Three Kings Day, but not beyond. Beau would be interested in what we found out. Curious, we looked it up and found the 12 Days of Christmas to be from December 25 to January 6th and ending with a feast on Three Kings Day. Now, it seems to be only celebrated in certain parts of the world.
3:52 pm on December 29th, 2013
Help! It has been raining all day. The ‘rents said it is time to board the big boat, but that they are only allowed to take one boy husky and one girl husky. That leaves me all alone to drown! Yeep!
3:53 pm on December 29th, 2013
It is settled, our tree will come down on Jan. 6th.
Rainy drizzle from earlier has made icy slick surfaces.
4:01 pm on December 29th, 2013
Kat – we are sure that your ‘rents are accounting Mama Meash to be a LADY Husky, which means there is still an opening for a GIRL Husky.
It’s raining here too, but the only boys we have are Wrotten Kats. And we say let ’em swim for it.
tee hee
4:06 pm on December 29th, 2013
January 6 is Epiphany or Twelfth Night as it is known in Britain. There is a long article on the holiday on Wikipedia. (For some reason it always makes me think of James Joyce…possibly from his collection of short stories, Dubliners.)
4:29 pm on December 29th, 2013
Broncos!….Today is the last regular season Broncos game…snort!…So we have come downstairs to watch it with Beau…sniff!…It was decided that the tree will come down on New Years Day. My friend says she will be home and it will be a good excuse to stay downstairs…heh!heh!
4:34 pm on December 29th, 2013
Seahawks!…Hey the Seahawks game just started too. I think…sniff!
4:41 pm on December 29th, 2013
Hey Tupper and Gilly! Sticks and stones could break my bones, but calling me a LADY really hurts!
Pffft
4:48 pm on December 29th, 2013
Meashka: We’ve never been called a lady before, but we can imagine that we wouldn’t like it either. If it ever happens, we’ll let you know.
5:06 pm on December 29th, 2013
We are looking for a good movie to watch now. We narrowed the choices down to Great Gadsby (Mom’s), Red 2 (Pop’s) and 2 Guns (Denzel, baby!).
5:22 pm on December 29th, 2013
Movies!…How about Lady and The Tramp?…heh!heh!…Or My Fair Lady?…chorkel!
5:24 pm on December 29th, 2013
GO SEAHAWKS!!!
5:40 pm on December 29th, 2013
Maskers!…Peyton Manning is busy breaking records again this weekend…snort!snort!…Maybe we will see youse guys in the Big One next year…chuffle!
5:48 pm on December 29th, 2013
Riƶ: Now that would be kool.
Movies. We watched a quirky movie a while back called Dogville. Lots of well known actors in it.
5:53 pm on December 29th, 2013
Maskers!…First the Broncos have to get past Spencer’s team. Those rotten Patriots…sniff!…They seem to have our number this year…grump!
5:56 pm on December 29th, 2013
Half-time!…Here is an interesting half-time factoid…snort!…The Seahawks are leading 13 ta Nothing. The Broncos are leading 31 ta Nothing…heh!heh!…Interesting right? The 13 vs 31 scores in the two top-ranked teams…chuffle!
6:12 pm on December 29th, 2013
Nail biter downtown at the Bears/Packers game. I think the score is 13-6 or 13-7 at the half. This is the do or die game for them too. SIL’s brother and wife are at the game, freezing their tookies off. Temps are super cold, and tomorrow they are saying -30 below wind chill. We are getting Staff’s weather!
6:15 pm on December 29th, 2013
Go Broncos!!!
6:22 pm on December 29th, 2013
Now the score is 14-13 da Bears. Can you believe we are quoting football scores? This is NOT a new trend for 2014!!!
6:29 pm on December 29th, 2013
Barb is amazing me!
6:30 pm on December 29th, 2013
Barb!….snort!
6:31 pm on December 29th, 2013
Bears!…I can’t believe da Bears are winning…chorkel!
6:37 pm on December 29th, 2013
The ‘Boys are in a do or die game tonight too and Romo is out for the season. I may watch with my paws over my eyes!
Our Granny is losing her 24 hour nursing today so Pop is taking the night shift today and tomorrow. We may not know day from night for a while here.
Hugs, Melanie
6:37 pm on December 29th, 2013
Looks like at the end of the 3rd Q it is Bears 21, Packers 20. These guys are major rivals, and winner today goes to the playoffs, loser goes home with nada.
6:40 pm on December 29th, 2013
Mom is on strike. hope all y’all are doin’ simiar things
6:55 pm on December 29th, 2013
This isn’t really our Barb posting, is it?
7:00 pm on December 29th, 2013
Doppelganger!….I like this new Barb a lot!!….snort!snort!
7:00 pm on December 29th, 2013
Siber, teehee. Now with 11 min left on the clock it is 27-28 da Bears.
7:06 pm on December 29th, 2013
Timing!….Eleven minutes is a long time on the football field…sniff!…Anything can happen! You better go get those couch cushions Barb…snort!
7:14 pm on December 29th, 2013
Eleven minutes on a football field is an eternity! The youngest grand gave mom a “devil” hat (she has a duplicate) What a cute kid!
7:17 pm on December 29th, 2013
See!
7:17 pm on December 29th, 2013
Heck, 2 MINUTES is a long time in football.
7:19 pm on December 29th, 2013
Ok, we are at the 2 min warning, still 27-28, 4th down for GB.
7:27 pm on December 29th, 2013
Looks like GB is the division winner. 38 seconds left and they just made a td. Not looking good for da Bears.
7:28 pm on December 29th, 2013
Barb!….She is a natural!…snort!
7:29 pm on December 29th, 2013
Bears!….Awwww. I thought for a few minutes they would really pull it off…sniff!
7:31 pm on December 29th, 2013
2 minute warning and it’s 27-9 Hawks. The Broncos aren’t doing bad either 34-6.
7:33 pm on December 29th, 2013
Baahaahaa.
7:34 pm on December 29th, 2013
Super!….Maskers, you and me pal, we are going to the Superbowl. I just know it!…snort!snort!….Beau told me to never post that out-loud or I would jinx his team…grunt!…I do not believe in all that jinxing stuff, except of course when it comes to my baseball team….sniff!
7:41 pm on December 29th, 2013
We are at the hotel. Martha did a great job driving. We had to go 45 to 55 mph because of the storm. If you watched any of the Patriots’ game that is what we were driving through.
I will not mention who won.
Thank you for your support. I had other things to say, but I’m so hungry that I burst into tears a few minutes ago. Food better come soon.
I am in bed with heating pad and my sister is taking care of me.
Nite all.
7:47 pm on December 29th, 2013
oOOOOoooMelanie!…What a relief to hear you are safe and sound in a nice comfy hotel room with room service…snorkel!…I’m sure you will get food very soon if not sooner…gurgle!…If I could be there I would give you a big slurpy, slobbery, slick, smelly pug kiss right up your nose and beyond…chuffle!…Sure wish I was there with you.
7:49 pm on December 29th, 2013
Melanie: So Happy to Hear you and your sister made it safely to the hotel where, and this is the best part, she is taking care of you.
7:49 pm on December 29th, 2013
Night Melanie, I am glad you checked in with us because I have been thinking about you and your sister in the storm.
Sleep Well
7:53 pm on December 29th, 2013
What is the world coming to? Barb has turned into a football announcer, Sharon has turned into a devil and Meashka has turned into a lady?!?!
Hey – wanna see a fun movie? Try “Kinky Boots”. The movie was before the Broadway play, but it is a good movie, even without Cyndi Lauper’s touch.
Meashka – you could always watch “Lady Sings The Blues”
giggle
7:56 pm on December 29th, 2013
SO, So so glad you are ok and the sis??????? is taking care of YOU, You , you.. Sometimes family is a good thing. Let us know if y’all need anything:)
8:10 pm on December 29th, 2013
Smoochers: We get to stay in a hotel room tonight to watch over Melanie while her sister sleeps. Anything you take out of the mini bar is not on the house.
8:11 pm on December 29th, 2013
Melanie, Hope you and Martha have a good evening. Glad you are there and settled in. Enjoy your carryout food. We will be thinking about you tomorrow, so please keep us posted.
8:15 pm on December 29th, 2013
Melanie: The Giant and I are not scared of much in this world. However, we do have a fear in common. I’ve never seen my lady burst into tears because she’s hungry, but I can speak first paw that giant have come close a time or two. Not because we’re hungry, but because of my Lady. She will warn us with the following line: if I don’t get something to eat soon, it’s not going to be pretty.
8:20 pm on December 29th, 2013
Mini-Bar!…snort!…No one told me there was a mini-bar in the hotel…sniff!…Something tells me I am missing yet another party disguised as charity…grunt!
Walk!…On our walk today a neighbor pulled up beside us in her pick-em-up truck…snort!…She was on her way to visit her horses. Don’t ask me?…sniff!…Anyways, she told us there are two new pugs in the neighborhood. She thinks this pug explosion is due to everyone seeing us walk around all the time…grunt!…She said the young pug who now lives next door to her does not have any manners at all. He is totally out of control and obnoxious….heh!heh!…My friend looked at me and I could tell she was remembering my puppy-hood days or maybe last week…sniff!
8:25 pm on December 29th, 2013
Testing 1..2..3………..?()()()(:)
8:26 pm on December 29th, 2013
Or about ten minutes ago….
8:31 pm on December 29th, 2013
Thieves!…Smart-ass remarks
Neighbor!…That neighbor made my friend laugh when she leaned down, petted both me and Beau and said, “Now don’t get too drunk on New Years Eve. I don’t want to have ta call the cops on you pugs.”…yeeep!…How did she know what Beau and I were planning?…sniff!…Luckily, my friend laughed it all off…wheeze!
8:34 pm on December 29th, 2013
Rio: Call us what you will except for ladies. Do you think the neighbor is working with the MG’s and intercepted intel from command central?
8:47 pm on December 29th, 2013
Melanie, Wrapping you in love and good thoughts .
Masquers and Rio! If youse are coming to the Super Bowl we can do the tailgating thing. Giant Stadium is not too far from where I am.
8:52 pm on December 29th, 2013
Burrrp!….I had to monitor the making and distribution of a kick-ass meatloaf sandwich…snort!…I got my fair share, yes I did. …heh!
Thieves!…I would never call either of you Lady or late to supper…heh!heh!burp!…Neighbor, she is clean. Retired English Prof, loves animals, and pugs…sniff!…Nope, no spy story there…grunt!
9:01 pm on December 29th, 2013
Rio: The first thing you told us when you recruited us was to trust no one unless they smell like Slim Jim’s or something like that. Good to know she is one of te good guys.
9:03 pm on December 29th, 2013
Good!…sniff!sniff!….Believe you me Thieves, Beau and I have sniffed her up and down and round and round….chuffle!…She is a retired English Prof with the flag of England waving off her garage…heh!chorkel!
9:15 pm on December 29th, 2013
Rio: We know she said she didn’t wan to call the cops on you and Beau on New Year’s Eve, but did she happen to mention not doing the same on a couple of lovable miscreants thieves? We were thinking about stopping by with beer, hot wings and more beer.
9:21 pm on December 29th, 2013
Once upon a time there were three bears…
9:23 pm on December 29th, 2013
Once upon a time there were three bears…
9:31 pm on December 29th, 2013
Hello everyone–Masquers, as a child (in southern California) I learned that it was bad luck to take any decorations down before Twelfth Night and I’ve maintained the custom. Jan 6 is also Eastern Orthodox Christmas, so makes sense to celebrate all through the 12 day period (plus you have some extra time to get the baking done if you had the flu during December, but that’s probably just me).
9:36 pm on December 29th, 2013
Melanie, glad you are safe and sound. We were worried about you and your sis in that awful storm.
Macy, why did Granny lose her 24 hour care? This is going to be hard on you and your folks.
Meashka does not think name-calling is funny.
9:36 pm on December 29th, 2013
Three!….Bears? I do not get it…grunt!
9:38 pm on December 29th, 2013
Macy!….Why doesn’t grandma come and live with youse guys?…sniff!…Then she would have 24 hour care every day…chuffle!
9:50 pm on December 29th, 2013
Granny lost her 24 hour care because it was determined that she was not in imminent danger. Of course, she won’t eat, or drink, so there is the starving thing. She has to stay at her home because all of her special equipment is there, plus Grandpa as well. She doesn’t know where or who she is anymore. She has home health care during the day, but nothing at night.
9:56 pm on December 29th, 2013
Macy: The two in that picture adopted one of our core values—-don’t get caught.
10:06 pm on December 29th, 2013
And deny everything.
10:10 pm on December 29th, 2013
Thieves!….How are those 6 new puppies doing…snort!
10:14 pm on December 29th, 2013
Rio: We wouldn’t know. We have been informed by Luna that our pup rearing, devil dogness and thieving influence is not needed. We have chosen to ignore this directive am are determined to bring the pups on the right side of wrongness. For the record we have been informed by our lady that the pups are perfect and very loved.

HOH: We didn’t know they made devil hats. Ruff Rider will need to wear one as a graduation cap when he graduates from the Academy of Devil Dogging and Evasive Driving.
10:27 pm on December 29th, 2013
Whew!
Melanie: Relieved you are safely through the storm and hopefully well fed by now and in a comfy bed relaxing before your long day tomorrow. Hoping for the best.
Yeeks!
MacyMinPin: Unbelievable decision. I hope they can be persuaded to change their minds.
Snow!
Snow and more snow. Never ending up to my armpits snow. Mollypop and Loulou’s Mom would love this snow on the ski hill snow.
10:28 pm on December 29th, 2013
Oh, Macy, that is so sad. Hope they live close by, so it is easier to help out. Is this Rick’s Mom and Dad?
Melanie, we will be thinking about you tomorrow.
Night all.

Rio: The giant does like the uniformity of team colors. Our Lady, on the other paw, is mismatched at best.
10:31 pm on December 29th, 2013
Dawson!…Get on your cross country skis tomorrow and go get more supplies…wheeze!…You are making me very nervous with this talk of snow up to your armpits. Granted that is only 4 feet or so, but still! That is a lot of snow!…wheeze!…Go get more Foooood!…yeeep!

Patsy Anne snuck into the house last night. She convinced Annabelle out of her favorite spot on the love seat. I slept through that conversation, but I can only imagine that Patsy Anne is a professional negotiator given the results. This photo is what my Mama found this morning when she came downstairs.
10:37 pm on December 29th, 2013
House!…Soon the whole kennel will be in the house…heh1heh!…What I wouldn’t give to see that photo!…snorkel!
10:38 pm on December 29th, 2013
Rio: Last night was an eight dog night whatever that means.
10:40 pm on December 29th, 2013
Eight!…Lets see, I count Luna, Bellie, Tenzing, Wyatt, Annabelle, Patsy-Ann – don’t tell me Pancho and Lefty slept inside last night!…snort!
10:43 pm on December 29th, 2013
Elim and Natty! All I know is I snagged my pillow early and refused to give it up. Natty was eying it all night long.
10:46 pm on December 29th, 2013
Count! Wait just a curly tail minute! You can count past two? Did your friend help you with the math?
10:49 pm on December 29th, 2013
Holy!…Dawg Hotel!…snort!…So Luna, Bellie, Tenzing, Wyatt, Annabelle, Elim, Natty and Patsy-Ann all slept inside last night…wheeze!…I hope they all had warm soft beds and a good breakfast…snorkel!
10:50 pm on December 29th, 2013
Two!…I use my friends calculator when I need more than 2 numbers…sniff!
10:50 pm on December 29th, 2013
Melanie, glad you made the trip safe and sound. I will be purring extra loud for you tomorrow in hopes that it helps you relax through the procedure.
Mom’s sister found 2 baby kitties out in the cold somewhere close to where she was shopping. She checked around and no one claimed them so they are now my cousins. She called my mom for advice. Yeah, right….what did she think my mom would say??
10:53 pm on December 29th, 2013
Calcusomethingorother! What just a Bible thumping pug minute! You have a calculator of your very own?
10:57 pm on December 29th, 2013
Own!…sniff!… I call it my own, but my friend could take it back at any given quantifiable moment…grunt!
10:59 pm on December 29th, 2013
Rio: The old leg lift technique is a great way to claim something for your own.
11:02 pm on December 29th, 2013
Rio: Roger that.
I’m watching a special episode of Call the Midwife but my eyelids are drooping.
11:10 pm on December 29th, 2013
Electronics!…sniff!…Unfortunately, things like calculators, cell-phones and black pugs do not do well under water. It is best to keep them dry…snort!
Dawson!…The fact that you are not worried about starving to death is a good sign…heh!…I feel better already.
11:11 pm on December 29th, 2013
Noswad: We can do a search and rescue mission if you need.
Rio: These things are true.
11:32 pm on December 29th, 2013
Truth!…My friend says it is time to climb the stairs to our warm soft beds. I know all my baseball toys and a squirrel are waiting for me there. …sniff!… Then back to the busy-place for her tomorrow two days in a row…grunt!…Then one day off..sniff!…Then two days back…grumble!
11:32 pm on December 29th, 2013
Pancho and Lefty: I am in a snow-globe paradise with enough food to last many moons and no need of rescue.
11:33 pm on December 29th, 2013
Dawson: What about company? Could you use some furry company?
11:52 pm on December 29th, 2013
Paradise!…I could use some time in paradise….sniff!…Hey, Dawson, why don’t I come up there and keep you company?…chuffle!…I would need my own room, a big screen tv and room service, just like Melanie….chuffle!….How great to be in paradise with room service. That’s like double paradise ….heh!heh!
11:55 pm on December 29th, 2013
Rio: Don’t forget the not so mini bar.
11:56 pm on December 29th, 2013
Goodnight!…snort!
11:57 pm on December 29th, 2013
Pancho & Lefty: Come on over! I want to practice my glove keeping skills against your glove thieving skills.
12:02 am on December 30th, 2013
Rio: Good night.
Dawson: No offense, but our money is on us for the win.
12:07 am on December 30th, 2013
Dawson: No need to worry. You’ll probably win it back in the first paw of cards.
