Gratitude
Today we thank all the brave and hardworking members of law enforcement who worked the Patriots Day bombing case. That includes members of the nation within. Here’s one of them in a picture snapped in Watertown last night right after the arrest, and appropriated by us from the twitter feed of a Buzzfeed reporter we happen to know who was on the scene.
Welcome Swquioa.

Gooood morning, everyone. Isn’t it? Don’t care about weather for a couple of minutes, a sense of tranquility has been restored. We feel like racing around the backyard chasing squirrels. Hey, lets!
9:17 am on April 20th, 2013
Rosie Gray was there.
Good morning all.
9:24 am on April 20th, 2013
Good morning, yes a relief. There are still questions unanswered, and of course we hope this horror was just brought about by the two individuals and not part of a larger cell. Evidently the 19 year old fell under the influence of his older brother. He was characterized as a nice, normal friendly young man. Now his life is over too. Sad on so many levels.
9:25 am on April 20th, 2013
What a week this has been. My question is this: why?
9:31 am on April 20th, 2013
Yes, we are grateful for all those who put themselves in danger to protect us, with a special mention to the 4 footed.
Good morning all.
9:38 am on April 20th, 2013
Greetings!
We here are very thankful to the members of law enforcement (two and four-leggeds) who put their life on the line everyday for us. Very happy to hear the second perp was caught.
RIO! Your Rockies are kicking some butt! Wooooooohoooooo!
I am getting wonderfluffed today. Belle Starr already has in mind what she wants the woman who cuts my hair to do. I think it involves the color pink, and sparkles.
9:48 am on April 20th, 2013
Rose: if anyone says “starch”, RUN!
9:53 am on April 20th, 2013
Melanie, We are watching The Today Show. They just ran the Newfie commercial again. Did you see it? They will probably run it again.
9:59 am on April 20th, 2013
Amen, Chet.
10:14 am on April 20th, 2013
Peace has been Restored By members in Law Enforcement both Furry-Faced & Non.
Went to turn on the Today Show to see the Newf commercial only to realize it’s Saturday.
Saturday! That IS Good News.
Have a Good Day Everyone.
10:18 am on April 20th, 2013
BSD: Mom mentioned something about tomorrow being egg day. We are glad there is good news and that we have good friends. Kinda like Turkey Day in April!
10:32 am on April 20th, 2013
HOH: You are making me laugh!
10:50 am on April 20th, 2013
Rosie!…Gray!…snort!…You be careful out there!…yeeep!
10:50 am on April 20th, 2013
Howling Wino’s. Tomato warnings. hmmmmmm. Anybody think we were a little tired/punchy yesterday?
10:52 am on April 20th, 2013
Waiting!…Waiting and watching for someone to show up…sniff!…I think we are going to adopt out Beau, but I am not sure…heh!…One can hope and pray though…sniff!
11:24 am on April 20th, 2013
At the show. All set up and waiting for the crowds to come rushing in to buy everything in sight.
Unfortunately, the food booth is directly upwind from here, and the aroma of fry bread, roasted corn and buffalo burgers is going to be hard to resist. However, we have decided that being on a diet us what helps us keep our churlish figure.
11:32 am on April 20th, 2013
Morning plunderers. Snow on the ground but sunshiney here in the middle of the mitten. Mom doesn’t let me get on the computer hardly at all anymore, but I usually sneak a peek at the blog daily and keep up with the goins ons. (Sorry B). Smooches, licks and tailwags to you all.
11:46 am on April 20th, 2013
Law enforcement and the citizens of Boston did an excellent job of bringing those two deadly thugs down. We want to add our gratitude.
I am still laughing about Howling winos. I am sometimes known as Sober-H.
Rio, Are you sure you are not dreaming?
12:54 pm on April 20th, 2013
Was Rosie there reporting, or is she living there now?
The parents of the two boys say they were framed. Just innocent young men who were throwing explosives out of their car as the police chased them. Oh wait, it wasn’t their car either.
12:57 pm on April 20th, 2013
Riö! No adopting out of black pugs.
Belle: Up top a short whiles ago there was a certain FOC and member of the nation within called Starr Belle! How funny is that?
And speaking of Belle Starr, smoocher extraordinaire, how are are youse under the quilt doing this first day of the weekend?
Howling Winos? Sounds good to me. May we join you?
(whispering) not you, Sober-H.
1:07 pm on April 20th, 2013
Tomato warnings, howling winos, sober H. Could we have some of that too, please.
1:25 pm on April 20th, 2013
Hello all,
Will catch up with your comments.
Chet, right on!
I am now going to do the stinky poultice. I am just abou to cut up12 onions.
BBL
1:36 pm on April 20th, 2013
According to an article in the NYTimes, the older brother had a record for domestic violence. His father said that his son had only hit his girlfriend “lightly.”
1:53 pm on April 20th, 2013
B: This story just gets Curiouser and Curiouser.
Melanie: The Stinky Poultice. It has been said that the mighty onion has great healing qualities.
Tomato Warning! Nana’s friend was driving back from Denver a couple of years ago when there was a tornado warning. Her two little granddaughters in the back seat began chanting: Tomato coming! Tomato coming! Needless to say, the adults in the front with nerves on edge, failed to find the humor in it.
3:05 pm on April 20th, 2013
Has anyone ever noticed that people who do awful things are spoken of as :”nice, sweet, angelic, boy next door”? Wonder why that is?
3:12 pm on April 20th, 2013
Usually their mothers will say “he was always a good boy”, even if they are talking about a serial killer. Still this younger brother didn’t fit the typical troubled profile. If you look at pictures of the guys that shot up the theater in Colorado, or the Gabby Gifford political event, or the Newtown massacre, you could tell they were mentally way off.
3:45 pm on April 20th, 2013
Boyz!…I hope they beat the crap outta him at the police station…grump!…Slimy ball-less bastard…gurgle!…I’m a tad pissed off – Beau is still here….grumble!
Lunch!…Her mother took my friend out for a late birthday lunch….snort!…Apparently, mother has forgotten how to behave in a nice restraint. Needless to say someone is glad that is OVER…grunt!
3:47 pm on April 20th, 2013
Perp!…Just read that he is clinging to life in the hospital…grunt!…Even better…sniff!…Hope they forgot the morphine.
3:51 pm on April 20th, 2013
Whew, Golinka’s golinka poultice has now been applied for one hour. We believe it has started working. Her leg and ankle are not as swollen, and we now have some soft lumpy things. By tomorrow morning if it has not broken up completely, I will do it again.
By Monday if she is still swollen, we go back to the v e t.
It smells good here.
3:54 pm on April 20th, 2013
Melanie, We thought you were going to apply the poultice to yourself. That’s a relief, although the odor will no doubt linger longer in Newfie fur.
3:57 pm on April 20th, 2013
Odor!…Someone has pork in the crockpot with onions and garlic – it smells like the makings for a big pot of flaming hot green chili…snort!sniff!
4:09 pm on April 20th, 2013
The guy whose car was stolen by the bombers and who was then held for 30 minutes going to different ATMs is very lucky to still be alive.
4:17 pm on April 20th, 2013
Melanie: Mmmm? onion poultice and frito feet? boy, is your house “air-o-matic”.
4:30 pm on April 20th, 2013
Yesterday a friend told us an interesting story about why the Suspects were minus a Get-A-Way car. Apparently the younger brother had the car in the shop. It was supposed to be ready in time but was not.
So, once again…the best laid plans of mice & @$$e$…It would be funny if it wasn’t.
4:45 pm on April 20th, 2013
Frito feet? What on earth didI type and when?
We are having pizza tonight. No onions. 🙂
4:59 pm on April 20th, 2013
Jasper, it is nice to hear from you!!!
Kirby T still AWOL.
RIO! Say it ain’t so about Beau! Hope they give that slime in the hospital just a little TOO much morphine. The police should have just shot him on sight. Now the Boston taxpayers have to pay for him to be in the hospital. I really don’t like that the media is trying to portray him as a sympathetic figure. PUH-LEEZE!
Just got back from my wonder fluffing !
5:06 pm on April 20th, 2013
Donna was glued to the set all afternoon until I convinced her that they were just spinning their wheels due to the lack of actual news coming down. Finally she gave up when the terrorism expert said the same thing that he’d said 45 minutes ago, so we went to the basement and watched 3 episodes of the NewsRoom on HBOGo. In the middle of episode 3 I go up for a minute and come down with the news – “They caught the little creep alive.”
5:26 pm on April 20th, 2013
Melanie: No, “frito feet” is mom’s word for how damp newf feet smell. We thought that with the onion smell at your place would inspire a cull-uh-nary masterpiece for din-din. But pizza is good. We like pizza bones.
5:57 pm on April 20th, 2013
Pizza crusts! er…bones…My Favorite!
7:44 pm on April 20th, 2013
I can report that Wose looks beautiful and all wonderful and fluffed. I can also report that my four-legged says it isn’t polite to bedazzle unsuspecting professors when he is sleeping. A little sparkle and the next thing I know, I’m in trouble.
7:47 pm on April 20th, 2013
Grizzly!…Is sparkly?…snort!
7:48 pm on April 20th, 2013
Rio, are you serious about Beau?
7:53 pm on April 20th, 2013
OmyDawg!….All the busyness has finally come to an end just in time for the Rockies game to start!…snort!…I’ve been run ragged trying to follow someone everywhere all day long…grunt!…We had a stranger in our house this morning drinking cawfee and fiddling with papers…sniff!…So Beau and I laid down on each side of her chair and chewed our chewies as noisily as we possibly could…heh!…Then just as she was wrapping up to leave Beau let a really ripe fart….gah!…I high-tailed it out of there so no one would suspect me. He hung around and started looking worried when everyone was holding their nose and groaning….sniff!…My friend apologized profusely but the damage was done…heh!heh!… In a way I am kinda glad Beau is sticking around….chorkel!
8:06 pm on April 20th, 2013
SiberH!…Are you ready for some Baseball?…snort!snort!…Ready to see the Snakes go down again?…heh!heh!…We here are so ready to watch this game…chuffle!
8:10 pm on April 20th, 2013
Good night all, off to watch some tv and then early to bed.
8:10 pm on April 20th, 2013
Starting!…..Wooooo!…..
8:33 pm on April 20th, 2013
Rio, I am watching the game!
8:41 pm on April 20th, 2013
I did notice that Grizz was a little sparkly in the beard when he picked me up from wonder fluffing . I can report that everyone at my salon fell in love with Belle Starr. She received a paw-d-cure, and now has hot pink sparkly toenails.
8:41 pm on April 20th, 2013
SiberH!…I posted my first message…heh!…I have NO IDEA if this is where they pull in the Toyota talk that goes along the bottom of the screen some times…yeep!
8:43 pm on April 20th, 2013
Go Rockies!
8:43 pm on April 20th, 2013
Rio, I’m glad that Beau is staying with you guys. He’s so happy there and you are all a family whether you Pug know it or not.
8:43 pm on April 20th, 2013
MollysMom!…He does provide entertainment sometimes…snort!…Like today!
8:45 pm on April 20th, 2013
Rose!…heh!snort!heh!….Didn’t Bellie show up with sparkly toenails to begin with?…sniff!….How much sparkle can one girlie have?…grunt!
9:05 pm on April 20th, 2013
SiberH!…I sure wish you were computer-literate enough to get on the toyoto-talk root sports message board…sniff!…I’m trying to break in with a rough crowd who is leary of new-comers…heh!heh!…They are starting to post now though, maybe I will be sniffed and accepted…grunt!
9:05 pm on April 20th, 2013
I think the Toyota talk comes along later in the game.
I weonder how many messages they do get.
9:08 pm on April 20th, 2013
SiberH!…Not many tonight…sniff!…Just 3 of us and two are checking me out wondering who the hell I am…heh!heh!
9:09 pm on April 20th, 2013
Rio, You sometimes just have to be persistent to get accepted.
9:11 pm on April 20th, 2013
SiberH!….Don’t I know it!…heh!heh!
9:12 pm on April 20th, 2013
Wowser! No puppy-free zones left at our house. The baby bear can now get on mom & daddy dawg’s bed without much effort. We told her not to get in the pond first, but puppies don’t listen, soooo, mom has changed sheets, dried (and lectured) the baby and has told us all to go to bed early as SHE is tired. What time does she think the bear will get up if she goes to bed now? Nighty night.
9:15 pm on April 20th, 2013
Rio – maybe the rough crowd of sports talkers has heard mention of Beau’s extra-green puff bombs, and is leery of Pugs in general. Speaking of which, there is an adorable baby girl pug on top of our page – her name is Dierdre. What kind of name is that for a Pug?
It was a good day at the show. One of Mama’s very best friends from college and many years after came – they haven’t seen each other for about 12 years, and they had a big old reunion right in the middle of the whole show.
But we were surprised that there were only 55 posts when we got home today – what the heck have youse guys been doing?
9:20 pm on April 20th, 2013
Slackers!….Tupper, everyone probably backed off from the blog after Melanie’s smelly onion post…grunt!
9:29 pm on April 20th, 2013
Rio – really? You are going to blame MELANIE’s odiferous post? As if your tale of Beau’s faux paw didn’t have a hint of the malodorous to it?
9:30 pm on April 20th, 2013
Odorous!….My posts are expected. Melanie’s are not…heh!heh!
9:31 pm on April 20th, 2013
Game!….This game is going very well!…heh!…WOOOOOOOO!…Siberh!…We actually have a Team this Year!!!…chuffle!
9:34 pm on April 20th, 2013
SIBERH!…I just got the guy from Wyoming to laugh…heh!…He is traveling to the game tomorrow…snort!…He posts all the time apparently…grunt!
9:39 pm on April 20th, 2013
HEY, don’t blame me! Though I have an idea that blame is also being put on Beau that might be another Pug’s fault!
I sent a package to YSAS and LLL today. I sent them two lunch bags! All insulated and different areas in them.one is black and one is bright yellow. I wonder who will end up with which one.
Sorry I missed everyone today. Being Grace’s nurse takes a lot of time and energy. I did get to watch some bad movies on the ScFi channel. I hadn’t realized there was a Lake Placid 3. One of the actors who survives is the Sheriff on Eureka.
Time to sleep. Really hoping Gracie is better tomorrow. The thought of cutting up more onions? Yikes
TTFN
9:39 pm on April 20th, 2013
Do they know they are talking to a pug, Rio?
9:44 pm on April 20th, 2013
SiberH!…I just found out that the message-bored I am posting to does NOT get picked up on the TV…sniff!…The guy from Wyoming said so and he also said, “Thank goodness!”…heh!…So I wrote back and said, “Well, now I do not have to be so polite!”…heh!…Let the fun begin!…WOOOOOO!
9:45 pm on April 20th, 2013
SiberH!…You have to have a fancy phone – not a little GO Phone – that you can send Texts with in the 6th inning to get your voice on TV during a game…sniff!
9:47 pm on April 20th, 2013
Melanie!…Onions do not bother my friend at all…sniff!…She could cut them up all day long and nuthin’ would happen….grunt!…But give her some garlic and if that juice gets under her fingernails, like today, she is suffering big time…wheeze!
9:58 pm on April 20th, 2013
Rio: Take it from us, running only makes you look like the guilty party.
When it comes to Belle Starr, she can not have enough sparkle. We have found ourselves with a little glitz and glam more than once.
9:59 pm on April 20th, 2013
Oh to sleep, perchance to dream…of onions, and garlic, and little green puff bombs.
wait a minute…..
G’night everyone.
10:02 pm on April 20th, 2013
Pancho!…You are so right…sniff!…I ran away and I over-heard someone say, “I bet it was Rio not Beau, look how he ran away so quickly!”…grunt!
10:03 pm on April 20th, 2013
Truth!…The thing is, two of us know the truth and the truth is, Beau let the ripe fart today in front of company…snort!
10:04 pm on April 20th, 2013
Rio: It is a rookie mistake. They happen from time to time. We have found the best course of action is to stand your ground and look accusingly at everyone else. Throw in a good natured tail wag to establish your innocence, and you’re good to go.
10:06 pm on April 20th, 2013
I do not have a fancy phone. The cheapskate won’t buy me one.
10:07 pm on April 20th, 2013
This baseball game is coming along nicely.
10:08 pm on April 20th, 2013
The Giant got an unfancy Go Phone of his very own after the race. We haven’t been able to get a sniff of it, but our guess is that it tastes great.
10:13 pm on April 20th, 2013
Smell!…Did I mention how ripe that fart was?…sniff!…I had to leave the vicinity and leave quickly…grunt!
10:14 pm on April 20th, 2013
Giant!…He has a little Go Phone??…chuffle!…I bet I could text him a message from one little Go Phone to the next…heh!…What’s his number?
10:20 pm on April 20th, 2013
Rio, his number is 2.
10:26 pm on April 20th, 2013
Alice!…How do you figure that?…sniff!
10:27 pm on April 20th, 2013
Well, today was a busy day for Miss Daisy, Cody’s cat who flew the coop on the day of the Spay and Tutor clinic. She had seven, count them, seven lovely kittens. She will be getting her operation in about 8 weeks. We can ship them anywhere, don’t be shy to speak up!
10:29 pm on April 20th, 2013
Wolfie: (whispering) Can I have a kitten? Oh, can you keep this quiet from both of my leggeds?
10:32 pm on April 20th, 2013
Cracked!….heh!…I have successfully made all the hard-noses at the Rockies MLB message-bored laugh (LOL)….snort!…They are easy, this here blog crowd is the hardest…chorkel!burp!
10:35 pm on April 20th, 2013
Rio: The true test for that there message board is whether or not they can almost make you laugh. You never laugh.
10:39 pm on April 20th, 2013
Pancho!…So true. These guys are not ever going to make me laugh, I can tell right now…sniff!….But they are Rockies fans – so I guess they are okay guys….wheeze!
10:39 pm on April 20th, 2013
Wolfie, You can send me a kitten.
Send Rio a kitten, also.
10:40 pm on April 20th, 2013
Belle Starr. this is for you…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI4yoXyb1_M
10:41 pm on April 20th, 2013
SiberH!…SIBERH!…Gah!…What are you saying? I already have a Beau to contend with. I do not, no I will NOT, put up with a Kat…grunt!
10:48 pm on April 20th, 2013
Alice M: It’s like you read my mind. I want a kitty! I have to keep it on the down low because both my two-legged and the Giant are lergic.
10:49 pm on April 20th, 2013
Maybe you can send one to Mr.Husky also?
Heh
BTW I do not need another kat. AbbietheKitty is enough!
10:51 pm on April 20th, 2013
Belle,
I will NEVER tell.
Staff must go to bed now. She is turning off the ‘puter and then she will feed me me me.
Night all.
10:53 pm on April 20th, 2013
Gnawing!…It is couch cushion gnawing time here….yeep!…This game could go either way real quick ….yeeep!
10:54 pm on April 20th, 2013
NOOOO!…Bases are loaded with Snakes!….gah!and GaH!
10:59 pm on April 20th, 2013
Wolfie: I try to indulge Belle Starr from time to time, but under no circumstances are you to send her a kitty. I don’t care how much she howls and begs, no kittens! She will tell you that I’ve approved it, but I am here to tell you from the husky’s mouth that the answer is no. Belle Starr has had a big day, what with bedazzling Griz, apologizing to Griz and getting wonderfluffed. I think I will make sure she and Wose get some rest tonight.
11:03 pm on April 20th, 2013
OHMY-DAWG!…It was a Cushion-Chewing Paw-biter but the Rockies WINNIT!…WOOOOOO!
11:04 pm on April 20th, 2013
GAH I don’t like this inning. Come On, Rockies!!!
11:08 pm on April 20th, 2013
Whew, The Rockies did it! They won!!
We could use a happy face, Rio.
I actually made it to the end of a nighttime baseball game.
Night All
11:08 pm on April 20th, 2013
Dear Wolfie,
Please send a kitten to Siber, one to Belle Starr and five to Rio.
Signed,
The Marauding Goats
11:09 pm on April 20th, 2013
Rio got ahead of me on the happy faces. WOO WOO
11:13 pm on April 20th, 2013
Rockies!…BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL….Wooooo!…I need to go get a bigger horn to blow for this season!…snort!snort!
11:15 pm on April 20th, 2013
Bad goats! Baaaad, baaaad goats!
11:18 pm on April 20th, 2013
Goats!…No one listens to those old goats anyways….grunt!…They cannot put me in a bad mood because my Rockies have won again!…chuffle!
11:27 pm on April 20th, 2013
Senior: If your Rockies have won, that means my Rockies have won. Woo and hoo!
11:31 pm on April 20th, 2013
Junior!…Yes indeedy!…snort!…I will make a baseball fan out of you yet…sniff!…You Iditarod Racer, you!…heh!
11:33 pm on April 20th, 2013
What is the first thing I need to know about being a fan? Do I need a big foam bootie? Speaking of booties, about 250 useable booties made it back from the trail. We will reuse them for training runs next year.
11:37 pm on April 20th, 2013
Booties!…Don’t tell Staff and Alice the Shake Yer Bootie Campaign is already ahead!…snort! …I’m sure The Team will use those 250 booties in a very useful way…heh!…Like what Junior said, training runs!….chuffle!
11:40 pm on April 20th, 2013
We will do our best to use them in a very useful way. However, Annabelle has been eyeing them for a midnight snack to which I say, ‘No!’ Eating booties will make her sick.
11:48 pm on April 20th, 2013
Junior!… If Annabelle is anything like Beau, the word “No” means nothing to her…snort!….”Stop!”, “DO NOT” and “Now you are gonna get it” also have no meaning whatsoever…sniff!
12:59 am on April 21st, 2013
Rio: Don’t I know it. We love her anyways.
My Lady just finished doing dog chores and is saying nighty nutter butter to all youse. We here hope our resident Hobbit is having a good, good, good time in sin city.
1:21 am on April 21st, 2013
I know better than to ignore TMG’s. The babies are so tiny that they will fit inside #10 envelopes. Siber, Rio, and the Giants will never even notice their presence.
