Dogs + Baseball = Good; Dogs + Baseball + Canada = Bad
“Hear about the blockbuster trade, or rather salary dump, by the Miami Marlins?” Admin says.
“Of course,” says Spence. “Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle and more, in return for not much..”
“Exactly. But there’s a catch – Slater – Mark Buehrle’s Staffordshire terrier – can’t go with him. Read all about it here.”
Welcome Alfred.
And Saturday afternoon in Osterville Mass.: Spence.

Good morning, Chet, Spence, Admin, and all Plunderers.
No fair for Slater and the rest of Buehrle’s family. Have youse guys been reading about how members of the nation have been put to death simply because of the tribe they belong to???? It has happened lots of places, most recently in Ireland. It makes us so darn angry. “First they came for the pitbulls…”
And Rio, we agree that the Israel/Gaza WWIII thing is way scary and why is the news making the Patreus soap opera the Big News story when all of that is going on?
9:25 am on November 16th, 2012
Good morning all.
9:37 am on November 16th, 2012
Bear, hope your mom is feeling better today.

Rio: The Half-blood Prince is the sixth in the seven novel series. Deathly Hallows is the final novel. They turned that into two movies…part 1 and part 2. If you have HBO, both parts of Deathly Hallows will be on Wednesday, Nov. 21 beginning at 1:30 PM and repeated on Nov. 26 beginning at 4:15 PM.
9:44 am on November 16th, 2012
Poor Slater. It’s not fair.
Oley, the Petraeus senario is much more sexy than war. The news media love that kind of story.
9:57 am on November 16th, 2012
Someone dropped a chicken by the back door last night. Howlers, was that you? We are throwing it in the crockpot (Tyb’s recipe) and hoping for the best.
Discrimination is an ugly word in any language…canine or otherwise.

Marlins!… Dead in the water…snort! ….That’s what happens when you let that shark Loria into your baseball park…grunt!…If he ever buys the Rockies we are definitely hanging up our Fan status….grumble!….He treats baseball players like inventory and doesn’t give a flipping hoot for the fans who are the ones who pay and pay and pay and pay for the ball parks and the big salaries. …growl!…Now I need a strong bowl of cawfee!…dammit!

OhmyDog,
Maggie takes a nap from 10 to 12 every morning. Dawson set up this schedule and we abide by it. So this morning I was tired and was thinking as soon as Maggie goes down for her nap so will I.
I just put her down and Mr.Staff said to me. “Has Maggie changed her schedule? Heh. I put her down at 9. Mr.Staff said I should get her up but I am going for my nap instead.
I will tell her when I get her up at 11.
(going upstairs, shaking my head and laughing as I go.)
10:23 am on November 16th, 2012
Staff!…One more hour of sleep never hurt anyone…snort!…Just ask Rebecca or Clarkson…sneeze!
10:28 am on November 16th, 2012
Looks like the jail cells on Stovernia will be rather full tonight.
We will become fans of baseball, football and all that other masculine ball stuff when there is a daily Art and Literature section in every newspaper, and the Art and Book Report takes up a good part of every local news broadcast. Also, when students who make great art, but can’t do simple arithmetic or spell ” h a t ” can still get full ride scholarships to great colleges.
“But no one PAYS to go see art”, some will say. Maybe that’s because it isn’t publicized ad nauseum like sports.
Grump. Getting off soapbox now.
Good morning everyone.
10:40 am on November 16th, 2012
Staff, been there and done that . .
I put the link of Slater, the Staffordshire terrier , on OTAS’s Facebook and he is not pleased. American Staffordshire Terriers are not pitbulls any longer. They are bred for gentleness and sweetness. On the other hand, pitbulls are not savage unless they are not only bred to be that way but are trained to be that way.
Snigglefritz. Do you know there are some people that have tried to put NEWFOUNDLANDS on the dangerous dog list?? What they’re going to drool on you? Maybe if they get tired they might just sit on you.
Idiots.
10:41 am on November 16th, 2012
Speaking of Newfs. MagPie? How did Gus do?
10:44 am on November 16th, 2012
T&G: I fully agree. (And I’ve decided not to make any pies.)

Chicken in the pot
Will taste good while sick
Howlers, did you pluck the bird?
10:59 am on November 16th, 2012
I agree with my Fellow Sibers…”first they come for the pitbulls.” Huskies have appeared on some of the insurance companies dangerous dog lists.
Our shelters in NM are full of pitbull and pitbull mixes.
Too bad Buehrie wasn’t traded to the Rockies instead of Canada. He seems to be a total dog person. I know, that has nothing to do with how well he plays baseball.
11:01 am on November 16th, 2012
Dawson, Is the Native American Veterans checkpoint fully funded yet?
11:02 am on November 16th, 2012
ummm …. How do you “pluck”? We never have done anything other than catch, kill, eat.
11:07 am on November 16th, 2012
Mom’s first Siberian did pluck the birds she killed before she ate them.
11:14 am on November 16th, 2012
Siber, we just spit feathers out as we eat. Economy of motion.
11:15 am on November 16th, 2012
Barb – are you out there? (or anyone else with gardening expertise)
We have red raspberry bushes. What should we do with the bushes for the winter? Do we cut them back? Where, how and how much?
The bushes are two years old and we got a few handfuls of raspberries this past summer. The squirrels probably got more than a few handfuls.

Hot topic this morning. I did hear about this trade that may get Toronto out of the cellar and into the playoffs but, after last World Series, I’m not paying attention to all that jazz anymore. I’m giving it up for good and going to join T&G’s and BStover’s school of art and literature. But, as for Slater, that is wrong – he is a member of the family.

Gramp still does not have glasses and is very visually impaired. As a result, he is also very clingy.
Mama just asked Dad to please drive Gramp to the recycling center.
Dad gave her a long sideways look.
Mama said, “Yes, you DO have to bring him back.”
12:19 pm on November 16th, 2012
T&G, You forgot soccer.
12:26 pm on November 16th, 2012
That chemistry lesson was way over our heads, but the profs were very cute.

When I had raspberries I would prune in Spring – it is easy to see which ones are dead then. The canes only produce berries once so all the ones that have produced berries can go. Reasons to leave the canes until spring: General laziness (or the opposite – the need to be busy in the clay room); visual appeal over winter; possibly birds can eat any stray berries and the aforementioned reason – it is easier to spot the dead wood. I cut the canes right at the base or as close as possible.
12:29 pm on November 16th, 2012
Siberian dogs
Love many sports games
To forget soccer was bad
12:30 pm on November 16th, 2012
Dawson – thanks! We didn’t know that the cames only produced once. And this will help us keep the pruning sheers out of Gramps hands for now.
12:41 pm on November 16th, 2012
Amalia, I do not have a lot of experience with growing raspberry bushes. It seems to me that the new cane grows one year and bears fruit the next year. I believe that you then cut that 2-yr old cane down to the ground leaving just the new growth. Better do some more research on that before pruning.
Gus is doing well. He had not been left at anyones home before and we felt sorry for him last night. He tried to leave with them, and when they shut the door and left, he just stood with his nose on the door for about 10 minutes. Then he spent the next 2 hours right in front of the door waiting for them to come back. Today he is fine. Maggie has finally stopped shadowing him like a velcro dog.

Well…you know that I have to do this.
“Whitecaps on the bay
A broken signboard hanging
In the April Wind” (Richard Wright)
Haiku usually involves a season and juxtaposes two images. According to Matsuo Basho, “The haiku that reveals seventy to eighty percent of its subject is good. Those that reveal fifty to sixty percent we never tire of.” It reminds me of Japanese painting: Part of a line or scene is given and the rest left to our imaginations.
The American Imagist poets (Ezra Pound, etc.) were influenced by haiku.

This is a youtube video by Aliy Zirkle talking about booties.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-f48fy6I34
About when and why they bootie up the dogs.
And if you already know this stuff and don’t want to listen to her (Siber-H) you can just watch the dogs run. My favorite dog is the left wheeler who keeps lunging to the left to get a drink of snow water.

We are not even going to try! Out of our league.
T & G, By the time Barb posted earlier Dawson had already commented on the raspberries, so looks like we were on the same page. I don’t think it would matter one way or other to the healthy growth of the plants, but Dawson does have a good point about it being easier in the spring.

We liked that video….excellent view of what it really looks like coming up that shoot from the beach to the street in Nome.
3:42 pm on November 16th, 2012
I have heard from more than one Plunderer that they are waiting to “Bootie Up” when they know their budget. If that is you, that is fine. We are patient plunderers and have time to wait for youse guys.
Don’t worry, we will keep reminding people.
I will have to think up a few more bootie haiku’s though.
Oh yeah. A running pug because we did get another donation today. Whoo HOOOOOO

Howlers: American haiku usually has three lines totalling 17 syllables, 5, 7, 5 and, as I said earlier, refers to a season and juxtaposes two images.
4:01 pm on November 16th, 2012

So, let’s see….the Shake Your Booty Team needs to come up with approximately 2,000 booties. So 2,000 x $1.00 each = whoa! Lots of money! What do youse guys think about us sewing some? We need to get the specs from Rebecca, but some of us are pretty handy with a needle and thread.

B&M: Is this seat on the bench of those who are out of their high-whatchamicallit taken?
Belle Starr mentioned I’ve been busy and working long hours, but I have been able to keep up with the blog at night even if I haven’t been able to post. I also hope to be able to catch up on emails over the weekend, although I have to catch an early flight tomorrow and work for the day.
I want to thank each of your for all you do for Snowhook. I can’t believe the early start! In regard to questions about team Shake your Bootie, last year we received a bit of a discount from the vendor. If we can get the discount again (paws crossed), it will be around $1780.00 My goal is to save my left over laundry money to put toward booties as well.
More on booties. I told AJ that a request was made for neon booties. We haven’t ever purchased from that vendor. I just looked at their online products—after a typo in my seach and being surprised with some adult conduct—and it looks like they are much more expense. 2000 booties from them would be $5000. Gulp! Out of the question!
Staff: That’s a great idea for AJ filming as he comes up front street. I think I can persuade him.

7:39 pm on November 16th, 2012
Wose – we saw Rosemary Clooney in concert with an orchestra not too long before she went over the rainbow bridge. She had a lovely, mellow voice. Check out Wikipedia’s article on Holiday Inn, the film. (I’d give you the link if I knew how…) Rosemary wasn’t in that film – she was in White Christmas, also with Bing Crosby. The song White Christmas was written by Irving Berlin for the film Holiday Inn and won an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
Were you named for her? If not, how did you get the beautiful name Rose? “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

I made up Existential Haikus because I needed to laugh. I knew that some people (sorry B) would have problems with it. I also knew that some would join in.
Thank you all.
From Wikipedia:
Existentialism: “the philosophical and cultural movement which holds that the starting point of philosophical thinking must be the experiences of the individual.”
Modern Japanese Haiku: “Modern Japanese haiku (現代俳句 gendai-haiku?) are increasingly unlikely to follow the tradition of 17 on or to take nature as their subject . . There is a common, although relatively recent, perception that the images juxtaposed must be directly observed everyday objects or occurrences.”
7:48 pm on November 16th, 2012
Wonder!…Bread. Didn’t you love the writing on the package that says, “Whole Grain White”…heh!heh!…((right!))
7:51 pm on November 16th, 2012
Bluecat, thank you for the information on Holiday Inn and White Christmas. You certainly know your films!
I’m not especially fond of the name Rose, but thank you for the lovely compliment. As far as how I was named, my father’s favorite singer at the time when I was born was Rosemary Clooney. My parents decided to name me Rosemary, but when my birth certificate was filled out at the hospital, it was filled out incorrectly. Instead of Rosemary, my birth certificate reads Rose Marie Delgado. My parents never had it corrected, but my mom always called me Rosemary. My dad used to call me Rosie when I was little.
8:04 pm on November 16th, 2012
Rosie!…It doesn’t matter what you are called, it only matters if you can discern whether to come or not when you are called…snorkel!…Beau and I are of a high discerning nature and hardly ever come when called….sniff!…Unless the callee has a treatie or a bowl of food in their paws…heh!

To self, from self . .
You promised Stover
You’d stop with Haikus
TTFN and Good night!
Sorry, B. Just had to do one more. I’ll stop now.
Hmmm . . . Pondering about tomorrow . .

Rio: Your checkpoint is not far from being fully funded. Perhaps if you borrowed a little from Beau’s treat budget?
I’m hitting the sack early. Will give checkpoint update this weekend.

Dawson!…You asking me to rob from a pauper…heh!heh!

We are saying

Sleep well!
Well, at least it has 3 lines.

We just got back to reading the events of the day.
Dawson – you get the haiku prize! Thanks for a great laugh.
Sunday is the first show in the stream – just a short, 5 hour show. Great for checking out everything for the big shows coming up. There was a lot of sterling silver polish being spread around as inventory was cleaned and polished to shine like – well, to shine like silver. Even the showcases got polished, and that was one messy job!
Long day tomorrow getting the rest of everything ready. Oh, and we are doing Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow – just the Cliff Notes version – just for the little family here, with Stove Top stuffing and instant mashed taters, and fresh asparagus. And a small turkey. Then on Thursday, there are reservastions made at a lovely restaurant where Mama can have a steak, or haddock or duck or anything BUT turkey, which is NOT her favorite meal.
So, we will say goodnight too. And not even in haiku form.

Golinka!…Good luck at the very shiny short show this Sunday…snort!snort!…My friend says she would love to go with youse guys on your shows. She thinks it would be all fun and games after all the heavy lifting of course…heh!heh!
Twirling!….Lots of multicolored paper being cut and twirled here tonight while we watch Elementary…snort!…My friend is making someting for the Auction I do believe. The other project she spent loads of time on thinking it would be in the Auction is now in the Reject-Closet…grump!
11:44 pm on November 16th, 2012
UP!…We are still up!…snort!…Someone is still twirling and glueing and twirling…heh!heh!…Her mother is roaming around upstairs for some reason…sniff!…She goes to bed at 8:30 and then is up and down and up and down and then up for good at 6:00am wanting everyone else to be “up and at it”…grump!
12:02 am on November 17th, 2012
PBS!…There is a show on PSB called “Crafts in America”, which is an odd title, but the next show is about what drives artists to create…snort!… We were thinking this would be interesting to watch as Golinka has been known to say she needs to create her art…sniff!…It does not just pay the bills, she NEEDs to do it….wheeze!…I’m wondering about Clarkson now too. Does he need to do what he does? He must!…heh!…Anyway, the show sounds very interesting and I hope we do not miss it!…grunt!

Bravo to Barb and Maggie for representing the Great High Whatchamicallit extravaganza of 2012!
I will be up and at ’em while many of the east coasters are still in their warm, soft beds with all their baseball toys just so. So, good night and I hope to see you sometime tomorrow.
Wose: Belle Starr says if you subtract 1 from 3 you should be here in two days. And, if you multiply by the 0 left in 103, well, she expects you any second now.
