Gooood morning everyone! OFA is right, it is a very good cause. More of this and mom wouldn’t have had to teach teenagers to read!
Wowie, wowie, wowie! I got to go on a boat last night, me, me, me! No sharing with pushy big sissies! It was FUN, I had puppy dreams of the sea and pulling nets and milk carts! -Darah
Little does she know, it is OUR boat and WE will share the summer with her, because mom said we have to! -HOH
9:06 am on May 2nd, 2013
I’m all for the importance of literature. Have a good time Spence.
Good morning all.
9:21 am on May 2nd, 2013
Good morning Macy the abandoned Min-Pin.
9:21 am on May 2nd, 2013
Good morning!
Darah, I was on a boat last year. I’m hoping I can do that again.
Getting kids to love reading is a very worthy cause. If I ever have a kid I hope she will read to me. Mom says Fat Chance, but I told her I will adopt one.
9:25 am on May 2nd, 2013
Sammie, has your girl brought her boy home for a visit?
9:41 am on May 2nd, 2013
Good morning all.
ONE more day till the Storyteller is HOME!
Yes – reading is so important. Teachers are deserving of great praise, thanks and better pay. Libraries are magical places. Books and the authors who bring them to life are true gifts to the world.
And so is art. On this day in 1519, Leonardo da Vinci left this world.
9:46 am on May 2nd, 2013
Wowser! We are jigswiggered by the breadth and depth of Plunderers’ knowledge. (Yes, all combined possessive)
10:04 am on May 2nd, 2013
Woolsie, my girl did you bring a boy home last weekend. As it turns out, he was very nice.
10:05 am on May 2nd, 2013
Darn speech recognition!
10:08 am on May 2nd, 2013
As LizF might say, “Good on ya, Spence!” (G’night Liz)
Hiya Jeb. Our newest friend of Chet will be a service dog someday and look at that ear! (I can only see one).
Tupper&Gilly: One more day! Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
The snow missed us, heh, heh, heh.
Busy day with a nurse coming to check Dad out, an old friend of Dad’s coming to visit 🙂 , and a care aide to help with a bath. Hopefully not all at the same time.
10:14 am on May 2nd, 2013
Mission!…“…to work toward the day every child in America enters kindergarten prepared to succeed.” …snort!…I know for a fact my friend entered kindergarten every day prepared for the snack and nap portion of the day…heh!heh!
10:18 am on May 2nd, 2013
Double-D!….I went to see what Jeb looked like and the photo I posted the other night is out there twice…snort!…I could swear it was only there once yesterday…sniff!…A Double Dawson Deluxe!…Woooo!
10:21 am on May 2nd, 2013
Peter/Spence,
At your event today don’t forget to tell Miss Jane O’Connor that Nancy Drew is a member of Chet-the-Dog blog. I bet she will be mightily impressed with you!
snicker
10:25 am on May 2nd, 2013
Rebecca!…Check your SDD before you do anything else…sniff!
10:38 am on May 2nd, 2013
Rio, do you mean that you posted the same photo twice just to have an extra chance to be friend of the month?
10:40 am on May 2nd, 2013
That is what Rio means Sammy. You better hop to it and put up your photo PDQ.
Hi Macy the abandoned MinPin!
10:43 am on May 2nd, 2013
Photo!…I only posted it once the other day…sniff!…If you looked out there yesterday, it was only posted once…heh!…Wacky software.
10:55 am on May 2nd, 2013
Wacky Pug, more like it.
tee hee
11:03 am on May 2nd, 2013
That is a very good cause. We are proud of our favorite author for being a part of it. Mom entered kindergarten prepared for recess.
Hi and hugs to Miss Macy!
Love the name, Darah
Rose, the Yankees are getting a Rockie, Chris Nelson.
Leonard will be home tomorrow! We are very happy and excited for the Royals.
11:06 am on May 2nd, 2013
If I could Go Back to Yesterday I’d check it out.
Oh, wait! I can! (yes, the pug tells it true)
11:06 am on May 2nd, 2013
SiberH!…And what do we get for our Chris Nelson?…sob!sob!
11:13 am on May 2nd, 2013
Rio, We get a “trade for future considerations”. That is all the info I have.
The Yankees are probably trying to figure out a way to send us A-Rod.
11:14 am on May 2nd, 2013
Bear!…snort!
11:15 am on May 2nd, 2013
SiberH!…Gah!
11:53 am on May 2nd, 2013
Red letter day tomorrow for T&G and Herb kats and Golinka AND the Storyteller.
Macy, hope you are not feeling so abandoned.
SiberH: Darah is named for 2 of mom’s dear friends who were stubborn…er opinionated, strong women.
11:54 am on May 2nd, 2013
This is the kind of thing we are talking about:
Today, Mama has a Very Important Appearance.
Last night, Gramp decided to install the new shower head. But Gramp isn’t all that handy. So the showerhead leaks all over the place and can’t be used yet.
Hence- no shower for Mama. And she is pretty big for the birdbath.
sigh
11:55 am on May 2nd, 2013
Hounds: Wasn’t/Isn’t there a Comic Strip Character named Darah also?
11:56 am on May 2nd, 2013
Royals: You gotta Love Gramp! Always “helping”.
12:05 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Golinka!…I could give you a spit bath…snort!cough!
12:22 pm on May 2nd, 2013
A new episode of Elementary is on tonight.
1:00 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Thank you, B. We will be recording it.
1:23 pm on May 2nd, 2013
What a great cause. Read to my guys before they were even born!
I watched last week’s episode yesterday. Is it the same one? Confused, but that is nothing new.
Darah! Welcome to the world of Happy Wet Newfs! OHO, you will just have to learn to live with a wet Newf. They never get dry.
Spent the morning being a Momager. After that Zoë and I had lunch on the sun warmed stoop. We watched 10 Blue Jays teaming together to eat while the red squirrel kept trying to get them to move on. Heh, the Blue Jays 200, Red Squirrel 10. He did beat out our Chippie.
Onward to painting the salad wall. Just have to stay awake.
1:44 pm on May 2nd, 2013
We have found if things don’t get done In the Morning they don’t get done at all.
It all comes down to the Snooze Factor
Which reminds me…….
1:57 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Bear, Your mama and Barb are so much alike. They like the same movies and books, and, evidently, both are morning people. Afternoons are for naps and little projects.
2:14 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Where’s Wose?
Is Macy unabandoned yet?
Dad to the care aide: “Are you the one who doesn’t know what you’re doing?” Heh, heh, heh.
2:38 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Melanie: Tonight’s episode of Elementary is new. It’s titled “A Landmark Story.”
3:15 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Dawson: OMD! That is So Funny!
Barb&Magpie: Kindred Spirits.
3:39 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Dawson, That is funny. Mom says she will remember that one.
4:03 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Staff, Dawson and Family – How wonderful that tribute was to your brother!
4:46 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Still abandoned, except Holly and Biddie are here. Where does a girl go to get some ME time with 4 Others always around?
4:53 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Macy-The-Abandoned: Maybe they will bring you a Very Special Treat.
4:55 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Macy, in your neck of the woods we don’t know where Me time would be. Here mom tries to arrange it and believe us, we more mature girls LIKE it.
BSD: Don’t remember a comic strip Darah.
Melanie: Our first Newf sis had a bum leg so didn’t climb in & out of pool well, but boy did she own the TN river when on the boat.
5:21 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Melanie, We had a thought on the breed of puppy in the Newf ad (not that anyone is spending much time pondering). What do you think about a PWD? Right size, long tail, white on chest, white tip on tail. All seem to fit. Could be.
5:27 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Lifting an itty-bitty corner of the quilt…..
Luna and Belle Starr blurred over yesterday to tuck me tightly under the quilt. I have not been feeling tip-top lately. I am starting new meds, and will not be having lightning bolts anymore.
Rebecca: Belle Starr wants to know if she can have a tattoo….
Swedish Fish are almost gone. Yeep!
5:29 pm on May 2nd, 2013
T&G: SO HAPPY that the Storyteller is coming home.
5:31 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Siber-H: So who is this Chris Nelson. What position does he play?
RIO! I love, love, LOVE that picture of you, Beau and Pepper!
5:38 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Wose, Hope are feeling better soon. We are glad you are not going to have more bolts.
If Belle gets a tat, so then you are getting one too? We know a great artist and he isn’t terribly far away.
5:48 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Poor Min-Pin. The nerve of those people! Make sure you make them pay when they get home.
Dawson, your dad is a riot! Mom thinks you probably wanted to crawl under the floorboards.
T&G, Make sure you don’t twirl so hard you get sick all over your dad.
Wose, good news about no more lightening bolts, but bad news that you are not feeling tip-top. Kat wants to blur on up there to kiss you and make you all better.
Woolsie! heh heh heh!
5:48 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Hi to Wose! Our Friend is Back on the Blog!
5:49 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Also, please send prayers and/or pawsitive thoughts for our cousin’s baby who was born on Tuesday, and is now being flown to CHOP because there is some sort of heart issue. We are all very scared.
5:56 pm on May 2nd, 2013
OH: You’ve got it from us. Puppies (of any species) are important!
Rose: Glad you can come out now & again. You know we are sending pawsitive energy your way. (If you want 50-80 lb. cuddle-bunnies, just let us know!)
B&M: PWD???? Maybe, but hair looks too straight.
5:58 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Dear Rose: We are happy there will be no more lightening bolts, but we won’t rest until you are feeling tip top once again.
Howlers: Prayers are going out for your cousin’s baby.
5:59 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Wose: Thanks for checking in. I’m glad a couple of the Smoochers are keeping an eye on you during this transistion.
Mollypop’s Mom: Thank you, it really was nice.
Thought I was cried out,then someone mentioned Mother’s Day. Wah!
BStover: I will have to read more than 1 Canto a day. They are very short.
6:28 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Hounds: Nothing Nowhere about Darah. Not a trace!
Is our Memory Deceiving us? (we can see her face)
6:34 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Dawson: Dante used “contrapasso” in The Inferno: The punishment fits the crime or “as they sinned so are they punished” as the Norton Anthology puts it. One of my favorites is Canto V with Paolo and Francesca.
Here is a link about Rodin’s Gates of Hell which is based on The Inferno. I saw it in Paris and it’s really wonderful.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gates_of_Hell
6:47 pm on May 2nd, 2013
B: This is interesting. Art within art.
I had no idea The Thinker was a part of this piece.
How wonderful to have seen this great work in person!
6:52 pm on May 2nd, 2013
O’Howlers, my very strongest prayers are coming your way. Please tell Kat she is welcome at our place anytime.
My dear Masquers, thank you! The Smoochers are wonderful, and very important to me. I am glad that the sparkly fire extinguisher will no longer be needed.
B&M, why, yes I did get a tattoo! It is eight days old. My friend at work, Joe, took me. I now have a tattoo of Snoopy hugging Woodstock on my right ankle.
6:54 pm on May 2nd, 2013
I can report that the Prof was not thrilled, but he did compliment the work of the artist.
7:03 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Rose, Chris Nelson was a third baseman for the Rockies. He hit .301 last year but has not hit as well this year.
You are in our thoughts and prayers and we hope you will be feeling better soon. Hugs, and it is great to have you on the blog again.
Felow Sibers, Good thoughts and prayers for your cousin’s baby. Keep us posted.
7:06 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Just read Chet’s facebookie post about not being picked up (on the right). HOH agrees a whole bunch% (Is that more than 2?)
7:08 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Siber-H: Thank you for the 411 on Chris Nelson. I would agree with an earlier post on this here blog…I think the Yankees are ready to kick A-Rod to the curb. We’ll see. Also, thank so much for your thoughts, prayers, and hugs.
Go Rockies!
7:10 pm on May 2nd, 2013
I can also report that Luna was less than thrilled as well. Not about my tattoo, but the idea of Belle Starr wanting one.
7:18 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Wooohoo for Rose’s new tat. You rock girl! Hope it didn’t hurt too much. Now the Prof. needs to get one. Maybe he could get a rose on his upper arm, with your name across it.
7:29 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Creator – we thank you for all the joys of this day. We thank you for the returning health of those who were ill. We thank you for the joy of the companionship we have with each other.
Creator – tonight, a new baby is in need of your gentle hands. Please wrap the child in love and let the parents’ worried hearts be calmed. Give the doctors the knowledge and skill to help the little one, and let this new life start with health and peace.
Creator – we thank you for the joy of the companionship we have with each other. Please hear the prayers this family lifts to you this night.
7:30 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Rose, I am not allowed to get at tat. OTAS is the only one he says can give me one and he won’t. (not that I want one)
B.Stover, Thanks for the update on Elementary. I will start looking for it tomorrow on Amazon.
Also, I don’t think I will go through the Gates of Hell. Last winter was enough.
7:35 pm on May 2nd, 2013
I did end up (sort of) painting the salad wall. I ran out of paint. It looks like leopard spots.
I also ended up at the acupuncturist with Gracie and Mattie. I told Zoë to go home. She had her appointment and it tires her out.
Gracie, Mattie, JonnyG and I had a great time. We watched the chickens, talked, watched the chickens, talked . . Then we had to find all the needles. We did, but had to pull off the fur from some of them. snicker.
Trying to find some FUNNY movies on Netflix streaming or Amazon Prime. Last night’s? All I can say is at least I didn’t watch Bag of Bones. I watched a crime flick I have watched before and I still had bad dreams. sigh.
7:49 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Amen to the Prayer for the wee one.
7:51 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Melanie: Your Gates of Hell comment made me laugh loudly.
BStover: Canto V is what I will be reading tonight. No illustrations in this book but at home I have a beautiful copy with illustrations by G. Dore. That one is written in the poetry style but I don’t know what translation.
I bought a dream catcher for 50 cents because it had a very nice feather on it. I think it helps me sleep very well. Sometimes I don’t want to get up.
8:01 pm on May 2nd, 2013
T&G: Amen.
B&M: Surprisingly, it did not hurt much at all. I have had blood draws that have hurt like heck! The Prof would NEVER get a tattoo. He is very conservative.
Melanie, even though you don’t want a tattoo, why won’t OTAS give you one?
8:16 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Amen and thank you for that, T&G. And thank you to all of you for your prayers and good energy. We have not heard anything more yet.
Melanie, what on earth is a salad wall?
8:29 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Amen, and thank you Amalia.
Rose sometimes we just have to give up being conservative and go for it!
Night all.
8:32 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Rio: Just saw a Candice Glover clip from Idol.
She is the Best of the Best!
8:37 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Amen. We were up early with LucyLou the Labradoo barking at butterfly farts so will say “nighty night”.
8:38 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Wose: I’m with Griz on the tattoo thing. That said, if I was forced to get one, I could do a lot worse than Snoopy and Woodstock. I love Peanuts!
8:42 pm on May 2nd, 2013
I’m watching American Idol right now. I one hour or more ahead of the rest of you so my lips are sealed. Zip.
8:43 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Wose, here is hoping things get better with your new meds. Breaking in meds is a pain all right.
O’Howlers prayers going out for your cousins new baby. Hope the news is soon and very very good.
Melanie, I am assuming a salad wall is in the kitchen? I am curious too.
Mr.Staff is going through the Gurneys because they suckered him in with a promise of 50 dollars off if he bought 100 dollars of stuff. The man is crazy!
I bought a bike today. Check out the hot pink wheels!
8:45 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Alice!!!!
8:46 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Gustav Dore’s illustrations are wonderful. I have books with them for Divine Comedy and for Milton’s Paradise Lost.
9:03 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Alice, don’t let Belle Starr see that bike. She loves pink, and would be happy to decorate it with sparkles.
9:03 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Gustave Dore is the illustrator in my copy of The Ancient Mariner.
(one of my all time favorites)
Alice: Your hot pink bicycle is kool.
9:04 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Goodnight, everyone.
9:06 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Gah. That would be: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
(damned iPaw)
9:07 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Rose, Wait up for me.
9:09 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Amen!…Prayers for little children are always the most special ones….sniffle!
Rose!…Rose!Rose!Rose!…heh!…I’m glad you dropped in on all of us today!…snort!…Don’t let any of those foolish girls talk you into getting a Tat!…sniff!
9:11 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Wheels!….Nice wheels Staff!…snort!
9:12 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Masquers: I’ve seen the ones for Rime also and they are great.
9:14 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Your advice is a mite Too Late, Rio. The Deed is Done.
9:19 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Bear!…Are you telling me that Rose got a tat?…snort!…I hope it reads, “Rio, you are the wind beneath my chair.” ..heh!
9:24 pm on May 2nd, 2013
David!…COOK!…snort!…One of my very favorite Idols…Woooooo!…I love this guy!…snort!
9:25 pm on May 2nd, 2013
No doubt that would have been her First Choice had she only known.
9:26 pm on May 2nd, 2013
What about Candice Glover?
9:26 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Imposter-S!…Like the imp. I am watching American Idol…snort!…Coming down to the 2 finalists tonight…wheeze!…David Cook is smokin’ hot!…Wooooo!
9:27 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Bear!…My choice for this years winner is Candice Glover…snort!…David Cook was a winner back in 2009 and is guest starring…wheeze!
9:36 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Imposter S knows All.
Rio: Thought for a minute there you had switched alliances.
We here are Checking It Out. Talk to youse all tomorrow – Bear
9:48 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Bear!…You do not have to leave us to check out the show. Do you?…sniff!
10:27 pm on May 2nd, 2013
We have been without the intertubes. Sigh. Problem started after our friendly cough, cough, internet provider was working on our neighbor’s DSL. Somehow that defaulted our computer to the wrong modem and platform. After figuring that out, it just stopped completely. I turned off the computer instead of throwing it out the window. After I did the dogs’ acupuncture, it was working. But it would go on and off and tne computer and the iPaws. Then I noticed Ros had kicked the cable free from the jack. Arggggggg.
10:31 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Melanie!…First rule of paw – always check the power source…snort!chorkel!
10:35 pm on May 2nd, 2013
O’Howlers, check your SSD.
I am transforming a pallet to a salad wall. I will be taking pictures. I need suggestions for a mild onion, and different kinds of lettuce. OTAS has said red lettuce. He has also said no tats for me because I am his mother. In some ways he is conservative when it comes to me. snicker. Must have difficult growing up with me as his mother.
Anywoof, it is time to sleep. TTFN
10:51 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Oh! A Salad wall. Will it compliment the strawberry rain gutter?
10:55 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Wall!…Is this going to be like the big green wall at Fenway Park?…grunt!…How do you water a wall of lettuce?..sniff!
11:06 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Rio – fortunately, the lettuce will be too high up to be “watered” by Pugs.
Staff – we love your lady bike. And yes, we think Alice would like a sidecar.
Mama has been trying to get OTAS to give her a tat for years. She wants one single, tiny dot. Then, if someone asks her if she has a tat, she can say yes. And then if they ask if they can see it, she can honestly say “no”.
Off to bed – tomorrow is the big day. (And big brother came by tonight and got the shower all fixed up. So someone us going to go stand under the hot water for as long as the water heater will hold up)
11:19 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Hallo, everyone!
Especially to Wose.
Staff, love the Nike! Mom wants one. Heh!
So today, my boy’s bio mom took a bus from Arkansas to California, and Cody met her for the first time in 14 years. It is hard to know how to feel. This is a woman who really, really hurt the boys. She used drugs all throughout her pregnancy, which in my mind is unforgivable. And even after establishing contact (via facebook), she has never so much as sent them a birthday card. So there is anger, and possibly even a little jealousy. It is very complicated.
11:22 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Gah, bike not Nike.
PS. Amen. Please keep the little one safe.
11:28 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Wolfie – tell your mom that she is the one and only mother the boys have ever had. And she has the heartaches to prove it.
Maybe someday the boys will wake up to that fact.
11:35 pm on May 2nd, 2013
Wolfie, what a complicated situation and difficult to know what to feel. However you feel is right for you so embrace it. Hugs from the North Country. Nice to hear from you.
Macy MinPin I hope your wandering people come home soon with lots of treats. How are you getting your treats with them off gallivanting around? Do you have a service?
Dawson. Dad is really on a roll lately. Maybe you should not turn on the humidifier for a while and see if it slows him down a bit. heh heh heh.
Good nighty noodle guys and gals. Except you know who in Oz.
Good morning to LizF.
12:19 pm on June 7th, 2013
向英超百年球队曼彻斯特联足球俱乐部（简称曼联）致敬，知名运动品牌NIKE旗下复古支线NIKE SPORTSWEAR发布了AMPLIFY AW84 5-PANEL棒球帽曼联限定版。曼彻斯特联足球俱乐部成立于1878年，如今已有上百年历史，其无论是在英超还是欧冠联赛，所获得的的荣誉数不胜数。该棒球帽采用了黑白红相间网格式设计，整体散发着浓浓的英伦风情。棒球帽后面的皮革紧固带体现了NIKE SPORTSWEAR对细节的高要求。此外，棒球帽正面可以看到曼联英文名全称缩写的‘M.U.F.C’字样补丁。
