Congratulations Spencer (Yes)
The random number generator has spoken (in a heavy East German accent, circa 1956) and it said: “Spencer.” Congratulations, Spencer, Chet’s Friend of the Month for May.
“Kind of odd,” says Spence, “but there you have it. Spencer will be in the special place where Muffin and Pepe have been, and as soon as we get a mailing address from Spencer’s human companion (send to spence.quinn@gmail.com) a signed and paw-printed copy of A Fistful of Collars will be on its way.”
“Next month,” says Admin, “this could be you! Just send in a photo to the Friends of Chet gallery. The random number generator does the rest!”
Welcome Annie, Herd of Hounds, Maisa from Finland, Daisy, Ellie from New Image Inc., Franklin of the pack – and Pepper, Beau & Rio (possibly from CO).

Happy First of May, Everybody! Muffin and Pepe, we will miss your sweet faces.
Congratulations to Spencer. You sure ae a cutie and do not resemble your namesake at all.
Wow! Lots of “new” friends today. What’s old is new again, eh?
8:59 am on May 1st, 2013
Happy May Day and congrats to a new Spencer.
We see that the other Rio from Co., Beau, and Pepper have a new photo in FOC, also saw HOHs and Ellie, the cute Boxer(?) pup.
Did anyone see the Today Show feature on the AKC and puppy mills? That spokesperson for AKC looked a little foolish, IMO. She has no idea how many breeders there are in the US but they have 9 inspectors country wide that are supposed to check out these same breeders. So let’s see, each inspector has over 5.5 states for which he/she is responsible. She said they have inspected 55,000 breeders since 2000. Now if you extend the math, that means each inspector looked at 9 breeders per 5 day work week. Not a heavy schedule, do you think?

Rio: More white stuff for you 🙁 Talk about rotten luck.
2:31 pm on May 1st, 2013
Happy May Day!
Dawson, had to look that one up.
Been busy this May Day. Went to a quarry to ask about rock, went to the bank (to make sure I have enough for the forementioned rock), got chewies, then peat moss and a weed retardent material, went to the printer shop to ask about postcards for YSAS, went grocery shopping, and then came home and collapsed.
2:41 pm on May 1st, 2013
Now my May Day story.
The first year I taught at the Episcopal All Girl School, I was told that I had to teach the 9th graders to do a May Pole Dance (in white dresses and ribbons in their hair) so they could preform in front of their parents in the May Day Senior Girls Appreciation Day.
The first thing that came out of my mouth was, “You have got to be kidding.” They weren’t. The second thing out of my mouth was, “You do know this is a fertility rite, don’t you?” They didn’t, and I had to swear I wouldn’t tell the girls.
So I didn’t tell them. They did a fine job. Unfortunately, I taught them too well, and was stuck for the job for two more years.
Sigh. I did tell the young women when they were seniors it was a fertility rite. They loved that!
2:52 pm on May 1st, 2013
Funny story, Melanie. I hope they were not too successful with that!
Three more arrests in the Boston Marathon bombing. Friends of Dkrakhar. Not arrested for the bombing, but for a coverup after.
3:03 pm on May 1st, 2013
Drive!…the drive home is going to be a nightmare for my friend…sniff!…This morning was bad enough, but it is still snowing and blowing and curse this weather and that damned groundhawg…grunt!
3:13 pm on May 1st, 2013
Rebecca!…I’ve deposited something in your SDD and it ain’t money…heh!heh!
3:33 pm on May 1st, 2013
How could a pug make THAT kind of deposit electronically…oops, are we thinking stinky?
3:39 pm on May 1st, 2013
Sharon!…Oh if only that were the case – the fun I would have…heh!heh!
3:59 pm on May 1st, 2013
Congrats to Spencer & Geddy (GSD)
Condolences (again) to Rio & Sammie.
G’nite to Liz.
Good Day to Wose!
4:05 pm on May 1st, 2013
Rio: Mom finished reading “Murder on the Iditarod Trail” to us last night. Really enjoyed most of it. Had trouble with Steve’s team. Will try more of Sue Henry’s books.
4:17 pm on May 1st, 2013
Rio: Make haste to check your SDD!
4:39 pm on May 1st, 2013
I enjoy Sue Henry’s books as long as she has dogs on them. No dogs? Didn’t like them.
Forgot to say hello to Spencer,
HELLO SPENCER!
4:43 pm on May 1st, 2013
No fair! Old Fart, mom and the boarder from the basement are having dinner on the boat AND they are taking the TN long-tailed black bear. They told the rest of us it was to “give us a puppy-free zone” and get her used to the boat. Yeah, we’re buying that…nice chickie!
5:15 pm on May 1st, 2013
Here’s your calendar page for May. We’ve been chasing ourselves a lot lately. I hope that one ofthes days we can catch ourselves and get back to blogging more regularly.
5:16 pm on May 1st, 2013
Out in a storm!
Turtleman dropped Dad & me off at the dentist then went to do a little grocery shopping. We waited just long enough for Dad to fall asleep (15 minutes) then the dentist said she was ready for him. I got him into the chair and asked how long it would take. 30 minutes.
I went across the street to mail a letter then decided to go back to the waiting room to read the paper rather than stop at the library. Good thing. As soon as I returned the dentist came out and said Dad had forgot his teeth. Called Turtleman, got his machine. Out into the storm I had to walk/run home to get the blankedy blank teeth. Just as I huffed and puffed up to the door, Turtleman drove up. At least I got some exercise.
5:26 pm on May 1st, 2013
Thank you, Tyb. I knew you wouldn’t forget us.
Happy May Day!
Dawson: Pawsitive thinking only goes so far when Murphy’s Law is in effect.
Rose: Where are you?
5:26 pm on May 1st, 2013
Tyb: Always good to see you on this here blog!
Dawson: Such language… 😉
6:22 pm on May 1st, 2013
Oh great!
Winter Storm Warning in Effect. 6 to 9 inches of Carpola!
I don’t really care because I will be safe at home reading the Comedie that isn’t really a comedy but does have a happy ending.
6:52 pm on May 1st, 2013
Dawson: What Canto are you on?
6:53 pm on May 1st, 2013
And I thought I was in the Murphy Law minority. Turns out there are many of us!
7:18 pm on May 1st, 2013
Back. We are back back back. Mr.Staff stayed home and waited for the phone guy and Staff went to town and ran a million errands and went food shopping and saw Dr.Scott who cracked her back bone. She says that is wonderful but I have no idea why.
She says she caught up on yesterdays blog and will catch up on this one after she eats something.
BBL.
7:28 pm on May 1st, 2013
Abbie & Alice: The “food shopping” is the important part to remember about that trip into town.
7:39 pm on May 1st, 2013
B.Stover: I will read Canto #2 tonight. Looks like this may take about 3 months to finish.
Glad to have you back, Staff.
8:19 pm on May 1st, 2013
Storm!…This storm is going to make it’s way across the country and make all of youse miserable just like me…heh!heh!
8:26 pm on May 1st, 2013
Wookie’s Paw!….We are watching your Nats and those damned Braves…grunt!….Just turned it on after our short lived walk in the cold wind that whipped up snow into our ears and nose and any other open crack…gasp!spit!… Beau walked under some low lying branches and came out completely covered in snow…heh!heh!…Where’s the kamera when you really want one?
9:04 pm on May 1st, 2013
Rio, don’t send that storm on to me. We finally had some sunshine and believe it or not 82°.
9:06 pm on May 1st, 2013
Beau! Poor puggy. I bet he was not all that happy to get all snowed upon. snicker.
I timed the door when Staff came back after her trip. She declines to chase me dammit. What fun is that? So after a while freezing my fur off under the porch she finally opened the front door and I popped out and ran for the warm. Not as much fun as I thought it would be. sniff.
9:10 pm on May 1st, 2013
Dawson, That sounds just like Dad. If he doesn’t forget his billfold when he is going to need it he forgets his teeth. (((Sigh))) I would not have walked/run back home but you are much more intrepid than I.
BTW I bought a new bicycle today at the Hardware Hank. It is a stylish Huffy brand. I will pick it up tomorrow! It is white, hot pink and black. Its pedals work the way I expect pedals to work and it has 7 gears, hand brakes and a big cushy seat! It is a lady bike. ;-D
9:11 pm on May 1st, 2013
Glad Staff and all made it back home safely.
Rio, We will be getting your bad weather but it will be rain rather than snow. Will be unpleasant for the next five days.
Barb is tired and ready to say good night.
9:11 pm on May 1st, 2013
Imposter!…You will freeze yer little kibbles off when this storm gets to you…heh!…That will teach you to impersonate our lil Sammie…sniff!
9:11 pm on May 1st, 2013
Darn that Alice. She is supposed to clear out her name after she posts. She is always forgetting that.
9:22 pm on May 1st, 2013
Alice!…You knit-wit!…snort!
9:28 pm on May 1st, 2013
Nationals!….Winnit!….Woooooo!…
That was a fast game…zow!
9:30 pm on May 1st, 2013
Another long day here- one that was made much brighter by cards to the Storyteller. We are getting the house ready for him to come home. Gramp is “helping”.
sigh.
But we heard the funniest joke today. It was in a card that came from a whole passel of puppies, a bundle of barkers, a conglomerate of canines. Everyone at the rehab was cracking up.
What is the difference between a therapist and a terrorist?
You can NEGOTIATE with a terrorist.
Leonard’s physical therapist laughed harder than anyone else. Then he said “just remember that!”
9:31 pm on May 1st, 2013
Riö, this weather is really hitting you guys. Perhaps you need a C.Hobitt house so you can hunker down and stay safe,
I’m going to bed. Whew . .
But first? For Alice . .
9:37 pm on May 1st, 2013
Bicycles!…heh!heh!….Alice and Staff can go bicycling together…snort!snort!….Not picturing AbbieTheKat on a bike…snuffle!
9:39 pm on May 1st, 2013
Imagination!….If I close my eyes and imagine
…will this happen?…sniff!
9:43 pm on May 1st, 2013
Idol!…I predict Candice Glover will be the Winner On Idol – just youse wait and see…clap!clap!clap!
10:29 pm on May 1st, 2013
Melanie. Alice is not amused.
(but I am)
10:34 pm on May 1st, 2013
Abbie wants a little side car. heh heh heh
10:36 pm on May 1st, 2013
Side-car!…That would have to be a large side-car…heh!heh!
10:37 pm on May 1st, 2013
Alice!…How are your Twinkies doing?…sniff!
10:58 pm on May 1st, 2013
Riö: Tonight close your eyes and make a wish…tomorrow you may see the sun…and in a few days some warmer temperatures.
11:01 pm on May 1st, 2013
Maskers!…If I close my eyes I will fall asleep….grunt!…I’m trying to watch some of the Rockies vs Dodgers game…wheeze!…West Coast Games!..gah!
11:34 pm on May 1st, 2013
Game!….Let’s see, the Nats game in total took 2 hours 15 minutes or something ridiculous like that..sniff!…The Rockies game is already 1 1/2 hours long and we are still in the 3rd inning….gah!
11:52 pm on May 1st, 2013
Hmmmphf!…Well, no one is around to chitty-chitty-chat with so I am going to bed and listening to the game on the radio…sniff!…For about 5 minutes and then we will all be fast asleep. I may or may not be sawing logs like a lumberjack…heh!
12:05 am on May 2nd, 2013
No one acknowledged me yesterday. I truly am an abandoned Min-Pin. Sniffpout
12:30 am on May 2nd, 2013
Goodnight, Macy the Abandoned.
Goodnight all.
7:22 am on May 2nd, 2013
Good Morning Macy!
Sorry your Ma and Pa are still gone. It is obvious that they should have taken you. I see you as the best good luck charm.
7:50 am on May 2nd, 2013
Macy, you are loved, we’re just zonkered 🙁
