We were not allowed on the iPaw last night because Mom and Pop decided to go out to a coffee house to hear a whole lot of musicians jam in something called “Front Porch Picking”. So we did not catch up on the awful news of last night until just now. Our hearts are so very sad. This winter has been so hard on so many of our dearest friends. We love you Melanie and Zoe. Please feel our love in your hearts.
7:29 am on March 22nd, 2013
OMD, what happened last night that we missed? Must go back right away and read the posts.
The story from Staff had a happy ending. Poor little Boo, left alone in that truck.
7:38 am on March 22nd, 2013
We just read about Patsy. Our hearts are heavy for Melanie and Zoe. With Melanie’s loving care she gave Patsy a wonderful last year. Our thoughts are with you and The Pack.
8:22 am on March 22nd, 2013
My thoughts are with Melanie and Zoe. Patsy lived a long and happy life. The picture that Rio posted is perfect.
Good morning all.
8:57 am on March 22nd, 2013
Melanie and Zoe, Patsy is out of pain and with the Raven.
9:03 am on March 22nd, 2013
Good morning all. The picture Rio posted was indeed perfect. That is exactly how we will remember Melanie’s puppy.
Melanie may or may not be on the blog today. The sadness that she has borne this year…well, it’s just too much. We know she will appreciate your prayers and long distance hugs. She will join us when she feels she can.
9:08 am on March 22nd, 2013
Thank you Rio for the perfect picture last night. Melanie, take all the time you need. We will send one of those long distance hugs.
Off to p.t.
9:20 am on March 22nd, 2013
Melanie. We just saw the news and know how heartbroken you must be. But Patsy could not have had a more wonderful, loving life than the one that you gave her here in earth (and that she gave you in return), and she is without pain now and at peace. And even though her physical presence is gone, I know that her spirit will be with you always.
Rio, thank you for the picture, as others have said, just the way we will remember her.
Love, tears and hugs from Chevy Chase.
9:43 am on March 22nd, 2013
Melanie and Zoe – My prayers are with you.
Rio – The picture says it all. Thank you.
10:04 am on March 22nd, 2013
Heavey!… My pug-heart is so heavey today I almost cannot type…sob!sob!sniffle!…I feel like Patsy was one of my best chums and I will miss her very much…wuffle!
10:06 am on March 22nd, 2013
Spelling!…I think I misspelled a word above, but I can’t be sure because it is one of those words like bowl and bowel that I always get wrong…sniffle!
10:37 am on March 22nd, 2013
Hey Rio, He’s not heavy; he’s our brother. 🙂
Mom just called our attention to this article about dogs who steal stuff. Check it out. What don’t these folks get? Sometimes it is just plain old fun to take something and make her go looking for it. 🙂

Love, prayers, and hugs for Melanie, Zoe, and The Pack. We know how much you will miss Patsy. sob, sob, sob We will all miss her, but the ones at the Bridge will be happy to see her. Thank you Creator for giving Melanie and Patsy all that extra time together.
That is a beautiful photo from last night, Rio.
10:53 am on March 22nd, 2013
RIO! The picture you posted last night was perfect. Love, hugs and prayers to Melanie and Zoe.
11:20 am on March 22nd, 2013
Rio: Your perfect picture is a beautiful tribute to the one and only Patsy Ketchum, Special Agent Extraordinaire.
Melanie, We are so very sorry to hear that the one who has been your constant companion and best friend has gone over the Bridge.
And, although we know there is a joyous reunion going on over there, here there is only tears and sadness.
Sending Love & Hugs to everyone at the River Bears.
11:28 am on March 22nd, 2013
Melanie!… She took that photo last year right after she found out that Patsy had bone cancer…sniff!…Patsy and Melanie had a special day out all to themselves…wuffle!
11:47 am on March 22nd, 2013
Purrs, hugs, and love to Melanie and Zoe. Mom just caught up on last nights news. We feel so bad for the pack. What a tough year they have faced. We are so glad that Melanie had this special last year with her Patsy.
Maybe the Raven needed 1/2 the pack with him to be at peace.

Howlers – Mambo is for beginners. You ain’t seen nuthin till you see that Wrotten Kat Pasa Doble
giggle
2:05 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Melanie wants to thank all of you for your support. She says she can feel the long distant hugs. And she will be back soon.
We think the next pet we give our heart to will be a tortoise. Or a parrot. Or maybe a pet rock. sniff…
In the meantime, Tupper and Gilly are not speaking to me, nor are they planning to post on this here blog for a while. Seems that someone shaved their pantaloons off whilst they were being distracted with duck jerky. They are now backing away from everyone, and hiding in embarrassment under tables, chairs or whatever furniture is nearby. They just don’t much care for the “rites of spring”. But since I stepped on one of the “hazards” of too-long rump fuzz first thing this morning as I swung my feet out of bed, we decided that today was the day.
eccchhhhhh!
(It was even worse than stepping barefoot on a Kat hairball. Not much, but it was worse)
2:19 pm on March 22nd, 2013
T&G: What humiliation!
Bernie probably knows that today is International Water Day.
2:25 pm on March 22nd, 2013
T&G, STRIKE! We are right behind you. sort of.
2:42 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Dawson – you think THEY were humiliated???
And Howlers – you are no help whatsoever! Its very tough for Corgis to strike. No one notices the picket signs way down there. But Gilly demanded to go for a car ride with her Daddy, and Tupper is demanding more duck jerky.
2:55 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Today is International Water Day? GAH
3:25 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Yes Siber. All dogs should go swimming or gave a bath to celebrate.
giggle
3:27 pm on March 22nd, 2013
“Say, Harry, didn’t Tom say today is the 3rd day of spring?”
“Yes he did, Dick, but it sure doesn’t look that way does it.
Where is he anyway?” “He seems to have gone back inside.”
3:41 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Where is Harry????
You’re really cracking us up, Masquers.
3:48 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Heh, heh, heh.
3:49 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Maskers!…heh!snort!heh!…I needed a good chorkel!…heh!
3:59 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Wet!…At least Dick and Harry know enough to get up out of the snow…snort!
4:03 pm on March 22nd, 2013
OMD! We don’t check on ya’ll for 2 days and come back to all this stuff 🙁 We had vet visit & emergency surgery for our Pookey an Aussie/Chow with a broken leg so we missed everything.
Melalnie should know the HOH will keep the pack, Zoe and her in our thoughts.
T&G: Pookey is in your corner. Vet cut all her lovely chowness “as long as I am in the neighborhood”. We think she looks like a combination of a lion, a Chinese crested and a pot bellied pig.
OH: Mom’s first dog was wolf/husky who was a thief! Refused to return things, but would trade for a hot dog. She stole the first 2 legged grand when he was 2 months old. Mom says now that he is a teenager that maybe she shouldn’t have traded!
Water Day 2013! Let’s play in the hose!
4:14 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Hounds: Hope Pookey is okay (other than the Humiliation suffered at the hands of the vet)
She can now join the Royals in a boycott of any future “trims”.
(whispering) Did we just say the v word and get by the Moderator?
4:19 pm on March 22nd, 2013
HAHAHA!!!!
Two Pot Belly Pig butts
HAHAHAHA!!!
oops – ruuuuunnnnn!!!!
4:19 pm on March 22nd, 2013
I’m reading Wilkie Collins’ The Woman in White. It was written in 1860 (not a typo) and I am loving it!
4:21 pm on March 22nd, 2013
4:26 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Mollypop’s Mom, Mom read The Woman in White a loooong time ago and loved it.
Why am I laughing at the picture Basil and Sage posted?
4:32 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Tupper&Gilly: We are assuming the Wrotten Kats took that last photo?
4:33 pm on March 22nd, 2013
….without your permission.
4:34 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Poor Corgis.
HOH! Pookey has a broken leg???? egads! Hope it can mend o.k.
4:36 pm on March 22nd, 2013
MP’sM – we liked The Woman in White, but The Moonstone left us cold. Wilkie Collins is credited with being the originator of mystery stories. We never looked that up. Was he before Poe?
This sounds like a problem for SuperStover!
4:38 pm on March 22nd, 2013
The Woman in White is very good.
4:40 pm on March 22nd, 2013
I know that my sadness cannot begin to compare to all of the sadness on this here blog the past year, but I still need Plunderer prayers and wishes for my special request. I watched the IdidIdidIdidaron with Momma this year, and it looked like a LOT of fun. Momma tells me that I too am a husky…a Siber kind of husky, and yet I have never ever gotten to play in all of that snow that Snowhook was running thru. I did see great snow last weekend, but Mama Meash and Daddy Dima say that was hardly worth calling it snow. So what I need is a real lot of snow, and the EPAWA guys say that just may happen this very Monday! All of our friends are wishing against it, saying it is time for Spring, but this here girl needs one snow to learn how to be a for-real husky. Please please please can you all concentrate all of your minds to hoping for snow for me me me?
4:47 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Poe’s Dupin appeared in three short stories (not novels) but he and his ignorant (in the sense of unaware) narrator are considered the models for detective fiction.
4:49 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Kat, I am a lover of snow! I am sending very, very , very strong thoughts that you have a ton of snow to play in.
4:49 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Mom just ordered The Woman in White for her Kindle. It is free!
4:57 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Kat, From one Husky to another, I am sending snow thoughts your way.
My snow thoughts do not work for the area I live in but maybe they will help you.
5:06 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Howlers: Free is how we like it!
Friend Kat: From one snow loving “kat” to another add my SnowKat hopes and prayers to the mix. Paws crossed for you. ^..^
5:06 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Snow,snow,snow
She wants to wash her hands, her face, her hair, in snow.
A few years back we had snow on Good Friday. Mom had a garage sale. People came. It was strange!
5:34 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Has anyone seen that obscene Google Chrome commercial showing a baby chewing on a laptop?
Gah! It offends the senses. Paws over eyes and ears here.
Make it gooooo awaaaay. Now.

Macy: Snow for Easter? Well, it is the Time to Wear White. Snicker.
5:38 pm on March 22nd, 2013
that was odd!

OH: Pookey has conpound/commu/something fracture. Cross paws there will be no infection.
T&G:We feel your embarrassment…and draft!
B&S:You 2 are as mischievious as the grandkats.
Kat: Hope you get your snow. Paws crosed.
Ann Martin wrote a beautiful children’s book called “A Dog’s Life The Autobiography of a Stray.” Good. Not a “dead dog” book!
5:56 pm on March 22nd, 2013
T & G, Your hair cuts are cute! Just will take a little getting used to. BTW, tell your mama that we did see the feel good story of the young man with Downs who has his restaurant in N.M. It is called Tim’s Place. What a remarkable young man!
Bee, Here is another verb question. On the tv guide information they will often say ” A family are” or “A Couple are”. Shouldn’t that be singular tense? A family is or a couple is?
6:00 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Herd of Hounds: Sounds like a Good Book. We are adding it to the ever growing library list.
Min-Pin: Love Puzzles! But we inadvertently read the instructions as choose a puzzle cat!
6:02 pm on March 22nd, 2013
We also saw the piece about Tim’s Place. We’d like to Go there for one of his hugs.
For what it’s worth, we say family and couple as singular. Pack too.
HOH, paws crossed here.
6:04 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Guess!…What!..snort!…It’s snowing here like a bastard…grunt!…Someone who had to drive through it is very grump and pissed off right now…wheeze!
6:05 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Ground-hawg!….That ground-hawg needs to be put out in the wild where he can fend for himself…grump!…See how he likes pissing on the patio….hmmmphf!
6:09 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Hmm…that’s right…in a rash moment totally unlike his usually conservative nature Phil did predict an early spring.
6:20 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Puzzle cat, heh-heh. The puppies in the puzzles are mine having one of their first meals not provided by me. What a relief. Those little toots had TEETH!
6:33 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Barb: Yes, it should be “is.” The use of “a” makes each singular.
6:36 pm on March 22nd, 2013
We only now got around to reading this morning’s Heartwarming Story of little Boo’s rescue.
Someone we all know and love is getting to be quite the reporter. And Spence and Admin are taking notice.
Very Impressive!
6:52 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Reporter!….grunt!…I personally wish she would lay-off on her little “news” links so we can hear from Spencer, Admin or heaven help us, Chet…grump!
6:54 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Macy I did 4 on the floor first. Now to go back for another one.

6:55 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Stand back world! Rio is in a snit, splort, snivvle(?) state.
7:00 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Oh Rio, you are jealous. How cute….snicker. Poor little Pug.
7:01 pm on March 22nd, 2013
My Lady has been in a sniffly state all day. She has been thinking of Patsy and her pack she left behind. Sniff.
7:04 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Jealous!…Of what? Of the ability to read the news and post a link…grunt!…I don’t think so. Oh, or the ability to take away what could be an enjoyable post from our author? That ability I am definitely not jealous of, nor would I ever attempt it….grumble!
7:04 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Test!…dammit!…Test!
7:07 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Yes, I stand by my diagnosis. Heh. Better get something to eat. Then everything will seem better, sweetheart.
Abbie loves you too.
7:10 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Well I have done all three of Macy’s puzzles (possession) but I had to change them from 100 pieces to 48. I don’t know how someone could do a 100 piece puzzle on that little screen.
7:11 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Whitey!…It’s been a bad day all around, no getting by that…grunt!….Thank dawg it’s friday, that’s all I can say. Except, did you notice all my perfectly placed apostrophes?…wheeze!
7:11 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Someone’s in a White-Out.
7:12 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Oops. It was Staff that did the puzzle, not Alice. Alice has no interest in puzzles but she does leave her login on the computer at inconvenient times.
the little sneak.
7:14 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Well, If I know my Rio-TEP those two gaffes will cheer him up.
7:22 pm on March 22nd, 2013
I agree with Rio. I’d love to hear from Chet on Chet’s Blog.
7:27 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Riö has a point…where is Chet these days?…seems he’s spending more time on facebookie than with usen over here.
7:28 pm on March 22nd, 2013
I have a suggestion. How about Sundays with Chet?
7:57 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Carpola! We did the dogs in blankies puzzle (100 pieces, Staff). But Pop brought our pizza in midway thru. So we will have the longest time in puzzle history. Great puzzle, Min-Pin. Thanks.
7:59 pm on March 22nd, 2013
How about Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays with Chet?
Saturdays and Sundays with Ingrid, Robbie or Astrid?
8:23 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Alice, are you using a PHONE to work the puzzles?
8:33 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Beddie bye time, Folks. Nighty sghettis.
8:35 pm on March 22nd, 2013
I just did the four on the floor puzzle on my iPaw. I need it to be in 67 pieces or It
won’t it.
8:39 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Thanks for putting my puppies back together, Staff and Sammie.
8:43 pm on March 22nd, 2013
I put up 2 new puzzles. How do I get back to yours, Staff?
8:47 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Dang it…the Howlers took off…meant to ask them where they saw The Woman in White as a kindle freebie. All we can find are .99 cent-ers.
8:54 pm on March 22nd, 2013
The sandman and herd are calling me to bed (before I drool on the keyboard). Everyone rest well, peaceful dreams and hope to dawg that tomorrow will be brighter.
8:58 pm on March 22nd, 2013
We are still liking The Lucky One. Nighty noodles all.
Oh, and Gus came over a bit ago. Love having him. And no mud so far!
9:01 pm on March 22nd, 2013
We here are headed that way too. It has been an Emotionally Draining sort of day.
Thinking of Melanie, Zoe & the Pack tonight.

Tupper and Gilly: even trimmed that is some set of pantaloons you have! Lady won’t let me touch or brush her’s much less wield a pair of scissors around them. Years ago when she was put under at the vet’s for something else, they shaved off her pantaloons and she has never forgiven me.
9:47 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Sneeze!…I want some of those pantieloons..sniff!…Those sound like fun…sneeze!
9:59 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Here you are, Beau! All poodled up!
10:02 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Gah!…sneeze!…Is dat my ball?….gurgle!
10:15 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Sorry, had to go tend to Dad.
Macy. Let me try to remember how to get to my puzzles…hmmmmmm
here:
http://www.jigzone.com/gallery/07250D4146.9F485F8?z=0
I think…
O’Howlers.. Geez, 100 pieces. How long did that take? I like doing 48. Seldom takes me more than 5 minutes.
Off to Beddy bye now.
I hope Melanie is not lonely in her bed, but I expect she is. sobsobsob….
10:49 pm on March 22nd, 2013
CHobbit – Mama us really tricky. She has a set of whisper quiet clippers. There is no way to get skin caught or do anything that would hurt. And those stooped Corgis will do anything for duck jerky.
Ok, so we like the stuff too. But she better leave our pantaloons alone!
We are off to bed. Gonna read a good book, and then mark our place with a beautiful holographic bookmark.
G’night all
10:50 pm on March 22nd, 2013
Thanks, Staff. I always do 100 pieces. Usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
