Lupo: Still in the Loop?
“Do we know about all these princes and things?” Spence says. “Could you draw a tree of the royal family?”
“One of my favorite pastimes,” says Admin.

Gooood morning, everyone. Computer illiterate Sharon learned lots yeaterday but cannot get on WIFI so is borrowing to post. Will learn more later so can read mail and more post. Everryone have a safe Saturday (ok, so I need the herd around to help with the acjectives!)
9:12 am on June 29th, 2013
Much ado about nothing.
Good morning all.
9:42 am on June 29th, 2013
Really!…snort!…I regret every clicking on the link…sniff!
Grumpy!…Someone here is very grumpy. She had to get up early because of all the damned noise at 5:30am…wheeze!…So we had to pay for it by going on a very early walk…cough!
Bath!…heh!…The good news is, Beau gets a bath this morning. He is ripe….snort!
10:11 am on June 29th, 2013
Rio, your walks are really paying off. That picture you posted the other day makes you look very stud-muffinish.
10:38 am on June 29th, 2013
Good morning all. Poor Lupo, we hope they don’t forget how much they love him.
Barb is making Cowboy Caviar this morning to take to the neighbor’s party later. They are having a bunch of people over for little 3 year old Michael’s birthday party, and invited Barb to attend. The dad, who is a construction guy, is an unbelievably good cook. He does amazing things with a grill and smoker. Yum!
10:57 am on June 29th, 2013
Lupo? Haven’t clicked on the link yet. It’s too early to comment.
It was hot, Hot, HOT yesterday and today looks to be more of the same.
Try to stay Cool everyone.
11:03 am on June 29th, 2013
Prince Harry is my favorite Royal.
Signups for the Iditarod begin today!!
Our heatwave is breaking down this weekend and the Monsoon flow is taking its place. It is early for the monsoon, but it is most welcome. This does not mean it will rain, but now there is a chance of it at least somewhere in the state.
The heatwave will continue in the rest of the West. Wolfie and Chet and Bernie, stay cool.
Good Morning All
11:06 am on June 29th, 2013
Bear, I just checked your weather. It is also hot in your part of the country.
11:07 am on June 29th, 2013
Siber-H: Pant, pant, pant…yes it is.
11:08 am on June 29th, 2013
11:10 am on June 29th, 2013
Hi everyone. Still hot, humid and bouts of monsoon rain here.
We think weather is a good reminder that no matter how much two leggeds THINK they are in charge, there are still some things that simply will not be controlled.
Thank Dog.
11:16 am on June 29th, 2013
DO NOT play Spence’s African Wolf Dog link if you have a Pack.
That means you, Melanie. You have been warned.
Siber-H: It is encouraging to hear about your Yearly Monsoons, but do they ever really happen where you live?
11:50 am on June 29th, 2013
Bear, The monsoons really happen every year where I live, but how good they are varies from year to year. Where the monsoon rain will fall in the state is always, as one weatherman said, a crapshoot. The mountains, of course, have the best chance of monsoon rain. Even if it turns out we don’t get much rain where I live, the clouds coming up every afternoon help to keep the summer temp from going skyhigh.
The sky and the clouds are always so beautiful during the monsoon season.
11:52 am on June 29th, 2013
Staff: I just received the Snowhook Kennels notebook. Love the printed pad of paper and the stamps on the envelope–especially the ones with Hawaiian shirts! Thank you.
12:00 pm on June 29th, 2013
The weather is crazy all over. Out west they are having record highs. Today, the end of June in norther Illinois, it is rainy and COLD! High today will be 68 degrees. Barb is going to wear a shirt with a jacket over it to the party next door. Climate change?
The Blessing of the Animals is the best book Barb has read in a while (maybe since last September). Robbie doesn’t count because Barb hasn’t read it yet. She bought it for Baye, so she didn’t read it before giving it to her. The main character in Blessings is so easy to relate to. She is an animal lover and vet. Barb should have become a vet.
12:43 pm on June 29th, 2013
Melanie, what was all the Macy-ing about last night. Here I am!
And this is for all who need it. Do y’all have West Nile Virus like us?

12:53 pm on June 29th, 2013
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn’t it a pity
Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
12:57 pm on June 29th, 2013
The Kats dedicate all tunes to CHobbit. tee hee.
Macy: No s’quitoes here. Thank Kat. The stories youse have told are enough to curl a pug’s tail.
1:13 pm on June 29th, 2013
Hounds: Wifi. Verizon has a nifty little portable unit that they advertize. We have Sprint.
Are your Mama & Daddy Dawg on their way home?
We miss your Daily Descriptives.
B: Love your very Clever Comment!
Sammie: Rio continues his Brutal Walks in the Heat. What about you? It’s worth the pain and suffering to keep your slim figure for the “upcoming movie” (sigh).
Barb&Magpie: Waiting until August to order The Blessing of the Animals. It will be a nice fill-in until The Sound and the Furry comes out in September.
68 is Cold?
Siber-H: Thanks for the explanation of the Monsoons.
Tupper&Gilly: Is your rain unusual for this time of year?
It’s time for a nap.
1:27 pm on June 29th, 2013
Macy, We do have West Nile virus, but no mosquitoes are out here yet. We have a neighbor with one of those ponds. Mom has never been entirely comfortable with that pond, but there is nothing she can do about it.
This state also has a small number of plague cases every year.
1:44 pm on June 29th, 2013
I believe that the WEst Nile virus has come as far North as CT. Not sure if it has hit MA.
All errands, all morning. Time to meet BSD in dreams.
1:54 pm on June 29th, 2013
I don’t know if this will work, but it is very funny. That MUST be Kat in the video.
1:54 pm on June 29th, 2013
Nope, didn’t work. For those of you on Facebook it will be on our page.
2:06 pm on June 29th, 2013
Happy Day, everyone!
2:54 pm on June 29th, 2013
Happy Saturday, FinnDog! Are you keeping Cool?
2:59 pm on June 29th, 2013
Melanie: Will Play the video Later when the critters are out of range.
3:06 pm on June 29th, 2013
Yes! Mom let me run through the sprinkler with my sister then she gave us ice cream. When we were at the place with all the water…we got ice cream as well. I’m not good with time, but Mom says the water place is a short trip, whatever that means, from home.
Mom also said the boat picture looked fun! I have never been on a boat thing before. I think the boat place is further than the water place…she was saying a couple of hours to get there…whatever that means.
3:31 pm on June 29th, 2013
We have West Nile and Lyme disease. We didn’t used to have Lyme disease, but lately we have imported those &%$# deer ticks from Minnesota so we have it now. Drat.
I received two packages today. My lovely vintage apron with the bird on it and my perfectly purple and orange note book cover. Yum! Thanks guys.
It is 72 with a breeze today. Perfect for blowing those mosquitoes over to Minnesota. Does anyone else watch the Tour de France? The end of this first day of racing was farcical. I will have to watch tonight’s recap to find out what all went on.
4:07 pm on June 29th, 2013
Staff: I used to watch the Tour de France and have also read books from Greg LeMond and Lance Armstrong. Even before the spectacular downfall of Armstrong, the race was taking quite the hit with all the drug and corruption accusations.
4:33 pm on June 29th, 2013
Bath!…Beau had his bath this morning and he did not drown…sniff!…He’s a lot lighter cuz that groomer got a lot of hair off of him…heh!…Boy was he happy to get home.
Hair!…My friend is busy making hair out of paper…sniff!…She didn’t want to use Beaus’s hair, so she is making her own for a special project that may or may not end up in the Labor Day weekend Auction….snort!…I did tell youse guys when it was going to be held, didn’t I? Labor Day Weekend just so you can prepare your special entries…snort!
4:42 pm on June 29th, 2013
Staff!…Tell Dawson we received that wonderful Padfolio….snort!…My friend says it is too special to write on….grunt!
5:30 pm on June 29th, 2013
At long last – it has stopped raining.
BSD – yes, this amount of rain is unprecedented for this area. Every single weather report, every single day has made mention of the fact that at no time in recorded weather history has there been this much rain in June. And the 10 day forecast is for rain every single day. With thunderstorms. sigh
We need to get a certain spray painting job done, and the paint specifically says that it is not to be used in high (over 60%) humidity situations. We have had 70 -80 % humidity for more than a week – with no drying trend in site.
Mama says she would NOT make a good alligator. She is far more of a desert tortoise. Hot, but dry.
6:26 pm on June 29th, 2013
Staying Cool!

6:26 pm on June 29th, 2013
Hi, guys! We have started getting some of our boutique purchases, too. The kat neckalace from the Royals came (Amalia, the picture did not do it justice. It is so cute!!) We got a picture from Rebecca of the the sleeping sled dogs (1 is Junior with the eyebrows) and it is great. Rebecca, the quality you were worried about is fine…picture is great! Mom just checked the mail and the Snowhook journal from Staff and the Turtleman just came and she loves it. Oh, yeah…and she got the “spoiled rotten dog lives here” plaque. What’s up with that?? Mom says it is part of a housewarming gift for a young couple with a new puppy. C.Hobbit’s things have not arrived yet and the last minute purchase of Staff’s quilt hasn’t arrived yet either. Mom felt bad that we didn’t have anything to donate, so she let us buy, buy, buy!!
Very hot here too. Over 100 the last couple of days. Thing is, here EVERYBODY has A/C so they stay inside the house or inside the air conditioned car. Dad even put a window unit in his shop!
Back to chores.
Later!! G&BB
6:37 pm on June 29th, 2013
Whoo hoo, Snowhook has announced their entry into Iditarod 2014!
6:52 pm on June 29th, 2013
My package from Staff, Dawson, and Turtleman has not arrived yet, but not to worry. This is NM.
I will take care of any goats that try messing with the package.
6:52 pm on June 29th, 2013
Hip Hip Hurrah! Good for Snowhook!
Zoë is in bed. We can take just so much of this air and then our bodies say, “ENOUGH!”
I have a headache. I’m waiting for 8 or 8:30 until every chore is done down here.
Zoë is in the AC as I will be soon. sort of
Zoë took Ros to the river. They had a great time. That was this morning. Everyone else went into the pool.
BearSpiritDog, that is SOME pool.
I have just ordered 4 new supplements. We shall see if they live up to their advertising. I do love the one that I take from this company. I have hope.
7:31 pm on June 29th, 2013
Melanie, what are the supplements?
7:37 pm on June 29th, 2013
It is 110*. Mom and dad were going to town to watch a movie, but decided to stay home. They have company coming on Tuesday so they are supposed to be cleaning house, but there doesn’t seem to be much action. Mom did clean out the freezer and gave us some frozen leftover meat. Delish.
7:42 pm on June 29th, 2013
2014!…That is a very long way off…sniff!…But it will give us time to have an Auction and a Holiday Boutique and dawg knows what else…heh!heh!…Hoooray for Snowhook!!…snort!
7:43 pm on June 29th, 2013
Wolfie!…The Giants lost Again!…snicker!
7:51 pm on June 29th, 2013
From a very young Wölfie’s Ma . .
7:52 pm on June 29th, 2013
We are going back to the Mud Room and lay on the nice, cool, cement floor while Mama is up to her elbows in clay.
We are saying good night for now anyway as there is thunder rumbling, and it looks like it’s headed this way….
yikes – maybe we will just all go hang out under the bed.
7:55 pm on June 29th, 2013
Woo hoo Melanie!
Wolfie’s Mom sent this poem to our Mama just to make her smile. Mama asked her if we could post it, because there are some wonderful lines in here, and lots of images that we could relate to. Thanks Mary – if did make us all smile.
7:57 pm on June 29th, 2013
Wolfie, The place that I got them from is called Nutrigold. Not Nutragold (comma or hyphen?) which I discovered was a dog and cat supplement web site.
I’m allergic to fish, so I got their Omega 3-6-7-9 that is made from berries.
Also:
Hawthorn Gold for blood pressure and vascular support
Ginkgo Biloba for . . wait, I’ll remember . . um . . Brain Health (snicker)
Cinnamon Extract for Insulin resistance.
I already take one supplement, but I don’t remember what that is, and it’s in the kitchen.
8:50 pm on June 29th, 2013
Allergic!…To fish?…sniff!…How come you are always eating food with fish in the ingredients, Melanie?…snort!…I’m confused.
Poirot!…We are watching Poirot right now….snort!…I love that guy. He is in Syria or some other really hot and dusty place trying to solve a murder…heh!…Appointment With Death!
8:51 pm on June 29th, 2013
Woolsley’s mom, I love that poem!
8:56 pm on June 29th, 2013
Project!…My friend made good headway on a special project this afternoon while I slept the day away…heh!…It is a piece she started years ago and realized she did not have the skill to finish the way she wanted…sniff!…So after a few years of work on a variety of other projects she felt confident enough to tackle this one again…chuffle!…And by golly it is taking form. The parts she was most afraid of are finished and looking good…wheeze!…Tomorrow there is even more to do. Doubtful she will finish it this weekend, but there is hope that one day it will finally be finished!…heh!
8:58 pm on June 29th, 2013
Poem!…I cannot read Woolsley’s poem, it is too small even when I click on it to enlarge it…grunt!
9:33 pm on June 29th, 2013
Sight!…My friend says she cannot read it either. Probably because her eyesight is shot after working to form and glue intricate little pieces of paper together all afternoon…wheeze!…Hopeless!
9:44 pm on June 29th, 2013
Mary, Loved the poem. Alice said “no way” Alice is very territorial.
Gus and BooBear, The quilt will go out on Monday a.m. So don’t hold your breath.
10:18 pm on June 29th, 2013
Rio, fish, not shellfish.
I am in the AC. It’s wonderful. I can breathe.
Tomorrow is OTAS’s Birthday! His packages arrived yesterday. He is opening them tomorrow. I told him he had to Facetime me. I need to explain the presents. I was too tired the dayI sent them to write a note. Hmm . .they are not wrapped either.
TTFN
10:33 pm on June 29th, 2013
Staff, we weren’t worrying about the quilt. Mom just bought it so whenever you can send it is fine.
10:49 pm on June 29th, 2013
Team: Our race season officially began today when the Giant signed up for the Iditarod! Thanks to all youse, our path to the starting line has been made smoother, and our journey to the finish line is much less lonely. We here are honored to be called ‘your team.’
Now that the entrance fee has been paid, I’m going to submit a Purchase Order for a new whistle. I intend to keep the new whistle out of Lefty’s reach this go around.
10:53 pm on June 29th, 2013
Melanie: At least OTAS got his presents on time for his birthday. Our family usually sends belated greetings. Happy (early!) birthday to OTAS!
Rio and all those who received and complimented the padfolios: Do not be afraid to use the pads of paper. It is Turtleman’s intention to print more pads with a different sentence at the top and then “upsell” them to you. He is a real salesman. He mentioned today that he will resume work on the passports starting next week.
Gus&BooBear: Great job shopping!
T&G: Glad your mum has her fingers, arms, back, legs and head back into the clay.
Wolfie: I’ll try to read the poem on the big computer tomorrow.
I’m hitting the hay early tonight. Hope all is well in the land of Oz and Cricket.
10:55 pm on June 29th, 2013
I knew I was forgetting something…
Go Snowhook!
11:00 pm on June 29th, 2013
Turtleman!…I love that Turtle guy….snort!
Thrilled!….We here are thrilled to pieces that our team is signed up for the next Last Big Race…snort!snort!…Lucky, lucky us to be involved in their preparations. Let us do all we can to make their journey and our journey as fun as fun can be!…Wooooo!
11:03 pm on June 29th, 2013
Storm!…We are waiting and waiting for the slow moving storm to finally get here…sniff!…After another long walk we all sat out on the patio to watch its approach, but there was an increasing amount of lightning and thunder and someone (not me) decided we all needed to go inside and wait for the much needed rain…sniff!sniff!
11:05 pm on June 29th, 2013
Shellfish!…Sooooo shellfish are not considered fish?…sniff!…Why is the word “fish” in their name then? Puzzle me that….grunt!
11:07 pm on June 29th, 2013
Noise!….I hear something that may or may not be hail…grunt!…Here, we were all hoping for some nice gentle, long lasting rain…grump!…I hope my old Subaru will be okay…gasp!
11:10 pm on June 29th, 2013
Whitey-Lance: Iditarod 2014 Here We Come!
Wolfie: That was Wonderful. We didn’t know your mama was such a Talented Writer.
Melanie: Thank you for posting the poem.
Time to call it a day – Bear
11:12 pm on June 29th, 2013
I love the poem!
Happy birthday eve to YSAS!
11:16 pm on June 29th, 2013
Rain!…Now it is just raining…wheeze!…Thank dawg for that!…snort!…We need about 10 straight days of rain now…wuffle!…Ten days off from walking would be Great!..heh!
11:19 pm on June 29th, 2013
Opening up the windows to let in the cool evening air. Here is a purrfect place on the sill to survey my domain.
Riö: Hope your Subaru will be okay. Our friend in the Midwest recently had her new car pelted with hail. Not something you wanted to hear.
btw: Whatever happened to the Beausmobile? Not still in the shop is it?
11:22 pm on June 29th, 2013
Beaus-mobile!…Yes, it is still in the shop..sniff!…Beau blows all his money on horse races…grunt!…Where does he get this money you ask – he rifles through my friends pockets while she sleeps, that’s how…grump!… I wish she would wake up and catch him one night. It would serve him right…grumble!
11:29 pm on June 29th, 2013
Sneeze!…I do not rifle through her pants pockets at night…snort!…I would never ever do dat sort of thing…sneeze!…Wat money I have comes to me each month from wat is called an annuity…sniff!…I have no ideas where it comes from….grunt!
11:31 pm on June 29th, 2013
Sneeze!…I can never save enough of it to get my car out of da shop tho…sniff!…Rio, he keeps borrowing and never pays back what he says he needs for parties and such…grunt!
11:33 pm on June 29th, 2013
Enough!…Go to bed Beau!…snort!…No more of your ramblings are needed here tonight…sniff!
11:38 pm on June 29th, 2013
Beau: I know the feeling. Pancho and Lefty have borrowed against future winnings. I’ve yet to see a dime of past winning. They say they’re good for it, but I’m beginning to have my doubts. If the Thieves are bad, Belle Starr is worse. I’m under the impression she has no idea of paying me back when she borrows money.
11:42 pm on June 29th, 2013
Rebecca!…Beau is gone. He is upstairs in his cold hard bed with his paws straight up in the air…sniff!…So tell me, you are in the habit of loaning out money??…hmmmm???
11:48 pm on June 29th, 2013
The ponies! I never would have believed it. Our Bible quoting Beau is a gamboling pug.
11:49 pm on June 29th, 2013
Rio: I have loaned money to Belle Starr for AJ’s Christmas present the last two years both of which she has given him pink hockey tape. I most recently loaned money to the team to buy AJ’s father’s day gift. They bought him one of his favorite candy bars. Sparing no expense, they opted for king size. And, I may or may not have invested on Hawaiian pants with Bernie.
11:53 pm on June 29th, 2013
Rebecca!…So you wouldn’t be adverse to loaning a friend who finds himself a little short this month some greenbacks to buy a few hotwings, right?…sniff!sniff!
11:56 pm on June 29th, 2013
Rio: We’ll consider the first round of hotwings a gift on one condition—you share with Beau.
11:57 pm on June 29th, 2013
Silence!
12:01 am on June 30th, 2013
That’s what I thought…
12:04 am on June 30th, 2013
Okay!…okay. Okay. okay. okay…sniff!…Maybe I will share some wings with him…..grunt!
12:07 am on June 30th, 2013
Half! You must share half with Beau or no deal.
12:09 am on June 30th, 2013
Half!…That’s outrageous! That is out of the question and totally unrealistic…grunt!…I’m the one asking for a loan, why should he profit from it?…gruffle!
12:10 am on June 30th, 2013
Rio! Do Not Cave! Wimp!
12:12 am on June 30th, 2013
V!…Why is there a V in front of my name?…grunt!…Oh, now it is gone…sniff!
12:13 am on June 30th, 2013
Alice!…Please!…snort!
12:15 am on June 30th, 2013
Rio: I have a soft spot in my heart for old Beau and I’m not ashamed to admit it.
12:18 am on June 30th, 2013
Rebecca!…That is only because you have never met him or had to sleep in the same room with him…sniff!…Not to mention watch him eat or poop day after day…grunt!
12:24 am on June 30th, 2013
Rio: The same is true of you. Perhaps I should have a soft spot in my heart for both of you…1 soft spot + 2 pugs = 1 order of hot wings for each pug.
12:25 am on June 30th, 2013
Spot!…On!…Now you are talking…snort!…Just give both orders to me and I will make sure Beau gets what is coming to him…chuffle!
12:27 am on June 30th, 2013
Rio: I appreciate your, er, kindness in delivering Beau’s order to him, but I think I’ll be in charge of both deliveries. Maurading goats and all that.
All that = Rio.
12:33 am on June 30th, 2013
Deliveries!….sniff!…Have it your way. Now about that loan we discussed….snuffle!…Oh, hell. I have to go to bed now. Someone says she is too tired to stay up and so that’s that…grunt! …Leave the wings on the table on the back porch. Make sure they are tightly covered, we have a rogue raccoon running around…. Goodnight!
12:35 am on June 30th, 2013
Good night, Rio.
Before I forget, I want to thank the Pretty Sisters and Turtleman Fred for making the wonderful Snowhook Kennel items.

Aw, this was a really nice post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to create a superb article… but what can I say… I
put things off a whole lot and never seem to get nearly anything done.
