Yeah for Mole! Bet if we thunk hard enough we could…mole,hole, bole, dole (so far so good),pole, sole, soul, tole??? Who’s being silly in our list? Good morning to all.
7:54 am on March 26th, 2013
Hey, Floyd! That’s some nose you have there.
Reminds us of a friend of ours up North in Alaska.
Fox News printing Feel-Good stories? Times they are a chang’n
A Good Tuesday to all.
7:55 am on March 26th, 2013
Good morning HOH!
8:21 am on March 26th, 2013
I’d love to see a better picture of Floyd.
Good morning all.
8:42 am on March 26th, 2013
Floyd has a lovely nose!
8:46 am on March 26th, 2013
Redbone!…Looks like Redbone Hound to me…snort!…With grass stains on his big ole honker…heh!
8:50 am on March 26th, 2013
Good on ya, Mole! And welcome Floyd, love your nose.
Good morning everyone.
Barb’s friend Kim, the goat/chicken lady is coming in for lunch and some shopping on the square today. They are going to go to a crepe restaurant. Yum! We saved Staff’s handmade Christmas card to give her, because of the baby goats on the cover. She thinks she might like to frame it.

10:08 am on March 26th, 2013
Heh, Barb, I will have to tell the Turtleman. He will be proud I am sure. He is coming to help me with Dad today. We get to go to the U of Minnesota hospital complex for a Glaucoma specialist and we need one for a chauffeur and one for a navigator and one for a Dad herder…wait a minute. We are short one one.
Oh well, that is they way it goes.
A picture of the Turtleman here:

I tried to upload a picture but the blog moderator thinks it is two. ^..^

Masquers?
Ahem….I would like youse guys to know that so far our “Clothe the Giant” fund stands at $294.
10:28 am on March 26th, 2013
CHarris: Thank you for the memento from Nome. I love it!
10:33 am on March 26th, 2013
We love our memento too. May have neglected to thank you C Hobbit.
Kim, Goat Lady, will be here in a few. We told her Rio would watch her goats while she and Barb have lunch. Otherwise they might start marauding!
10:35 am on March 26th, 2013
Rose & Melanie: Check your SDDs.
10:37 am on March 26th, 2013
Our momento from Nome arrived yesterday as well. Thanks C Hobbit for thinking of us and representing us so well.
10:41 am on March 26th, 2013
By the way, I also think that Floyd has a lovely nose. However, I’d like to see him in “perspective” as it were.
10:42 am on March 26th, 2013
C.Harris, Same goes for us. We love the memento and are slow to say thank you. The postmark on it is my all time favorite.
Us Sibers could have watched the goats.
Good Morning All
10:55 am on March 26th, 2013
Good morning. We also received a memento from NOME!!! Thanks C.Hobbit.
Floyd looks cool, and we love his name, because that is also a name of someone near and dear to us.
Good boy, Mole. Or is it Molé ?
11:04 am on March 26th, 2013
Masquers, checked! :^)
11:09 am on March 26th, 2013
Poor Rose I know I hated it when the amounts did not add up to a zero or a five. So I am donating an amount ending with a 6 so you can have an even amount. Check your SDD please.
11:09 am on March 26th, 2013
Heh, Barb, I will have to tell the Turtleman. He will be proud I am sure. He is coming to help me with Dad today. We get to go to the U of Minnesota hospital complex for a Glaucoma specialist and we need one for a chauffeur and one for a navigator and one for a Dad herder…wait a minute. We are short one one.
Oh well, that is they way it goes.
11:12 am on March 26th, 2013
I have posted a comment twice and it has been moderated twice. I thought it was a link and took it out but it must be something else because it gets moderated with or without the link.
I didn’t mention gamboling or shows or any of the normal problem words.
Hmmm
Well, you can check the 10:08 post later, if you care…sniff.
11:17 am on March 26th, 2013
Memento!…Grump!…I don’t have no stinkin’ memento from Nome…grumble!…No one thought of me when she was up there eating and drinking…sniffle!
11:34 am on March 26th, 2013
Staff, checked. And I appreciate your making the math easier for me. :^)
11:34 am on March 26th, 2013
RIO! DIdn’t something come in the mail yesterday?
11:38 am on March 26th, 2013
Rose!…No!…grump!
11:43 am on March 26th, 2013
Rio – told ya – Hobbits don’t like Pugs. hahahahaha
11:46 am on March 26th, 2013
I just brought Little Sammy home and surprise it’s all green here. I’m so used to having many feet of snow and putting on heavy boots to go out the door.
12:02 pm on March 26th, 2013
Mollys Mom: Sometimes we wonder how Sammie ever did those famous Subaru commercials posing on the ski slopes. She looked a mite uncomfortable in that photo yesterday.
12:03 pm on March 26th, 2013
Riö: Check your SDD.
12:06 pm on March 26th, 2013
The memento I received from Nome was in today’s mail.
12:07 pm on March 26th, 2013
Staff: We do care and will be keeping an eye out for your Moderated 10:08 Post.
12:15 pm on March 26th, 2013
RIO! Maybe today, then! One can never depend on the post office.
12:18 pm on March 26th, 2013
Rose!…grump!
12:36 pm on March 26th, 2013
Or: Hobbits just do not like pugs.
🙂
12:56 pm on March 26th, 2013
Rio: it must be the marauding goats. They have struck again.
12:56 pm on March 26th, 2013
Rio, we haven’t received anything from Nome either. We thought CHobbit liked cats!
12:58 pm on March 26th, 2013
Rio: I know better than to leave you out. We would all never hear the end of it. Beau on the other hand I might have forgot. 😉
1:38 pm on March 26th, 2013
CHobbit!….Beau who?…sniff!….OH! Never mind about him..grunt!…Just so you remembered me…snort!
1:45 pm on March 26th, 2013
Rio –
It was delicious. Heh heh heh
Signed
The Marauding Goats
1:58 pm on March 26th, 2013
TMG!.. I hope it hurts like hell on its way out…grunt!
2:14 pm on March 26th, 2013
CHobbit!…Be a good Hobbit and check your SDD…snort!
2:37 pm on March 26th, 2013
Rio is cracking me up.
2:43 pm on March 26th, 2013
Rio: If it is anything like the bootie I ate and then passed in the middle of the night, TMGs will ruin two rugs in the process. I feel better, but the Giant is outside buring the rugs in the fire pit.
2:58 pm on March 26th, 2013
Annabelle!…Gah!
3:07 pm on March 26th, 2013
I got a momentum from Nome. Cool. Thank you.
3:10 pm on March 26th, 2013
Rio: It didn’t bother me. I wasn’t the one who had to clean up any misdeeds. Poor Giant.
3:14 pm on March 26th, 2013
Mollypop’s Mom: LOL!!
3:18 pm on March 26th, 2013
Dawson: check your SDD please
Mollypop’s Mom: spring definitely is not available in Alaska.
Annabelle: why would you eat a bootie?
3:22 pm on March 26th, 2013
CHobbit: Don’t knock it until you try it. Truth be told, I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t swear or gambol, but I do have a couple of vices, and eating the ocassional bootie is among them. Some times it is like it calls to me. I try to resist, maybe just a lick and the next thing I know…burp. We have three kennel rules: 1) No fighting, 2) No eating your own misdeeds or others’ misdeeds, 3) No eating anything that will make you sick. I do really well on rule number 1, really well.
3:27 pm on March 26th, 2013
Giant!…Besides burning poopey rugs the Giant has been very busy digging out…snort!…Now where the heck was all this snow around the beginning of March?…grunt!
3:38 pm on March 26th, 2013
Staff: Your Moderated 10:08 Post has mysterious appeared.
We can find No Thing in the wording of it that would have set him off.
3:40 pm on March 26th, 2013
Rio: Well…the Good Thing is…SnowBella did not have to shovel the white stuff whilest the Giant was on the trail.
3:48 pm on March 26th, 2013
momentum?
3:53 pm on March 26th, 2013
Barb is back from her outing and Kim is on her way home with her herd of maurding goats in tow. We are all safe again. They went to The Crepier and Barb had a spinach crepe stuffed with beef, mushrooms, mashed potatoes with a burgundy sauce. Kim had a crepe stuffed with shrimp, scallops and some other seafood. They were excellent!
Staff, she took home Turtleman’s goat card to frame. She loved it. Plus blue is her color for decorating, so it was purrfect!
4:29 pm on March 26th, 2013
I’m back home now where I don’t have to wear those stupid boots! I will never put those on again. I have to show Molly’s Mom who is boss.
4:40 pm on March 26th, 2013
I was wondering about “momentum.”
4:52 pm on March 26th, 2013
It’s a blizzard out there right now. Holiday Valley has extended the closing date a week to April 14th. Also night skiing will be back on for this weekend.
4:52 pm on March 26th, 2013
Sam, beware of putting Molly’s Mom in her place. I believe she is the one who feeds you eggs?
5:02 pm on March 26th, 2013
Gus and BooBear: I *do* like cats. You were on my list….hmmm. Maybe in my sleep deprivation I incorrectly addressed something or forgot the stamp. It might be winging its way back to me.
I think almost everyone got something except there were a handful of posters that I didn’t have addresses for. When the next Alaska magazine comes out, if it has a nice issue on the Iditarod, I’ll pick up a few and mail them out.
5:34 pm on March 26th, 2013
Sam, The best athletes in the world, the Iditarod dogs, wear booties. You look cute in your jacket and booties.
5:49 pm on March 26th, 2013
Siber-H, Does Whitey – Lance wear booties? He’s quite handsome.
5:57 pm on March 26th, 2013
Melanie, That chart is too funny! Barb is sending it to her kat friends.
6:18 pm on March 26th, 2013
Sam, You betcha Whitey-Lance wears booties.
6:29 pm on March 26th, 2013
Whitey!…I thought Whitey Lance was retired and didn’t wear booties anymore..grunt!
6:37 pm on March 26th, 2013
In all the years I’ve lived in Alaska, my dogs have refused to wear booties. I think they have to be trained to wear them.
6:39 pm on March 26th, 2013
Melanie and Barb: how do you repost pictures/charts to send to friends?
6:40 pm on March 26th, 2013
*******************ANNOUNCEMENT*********************************
According to my little spreadsheet (see, I told you I would keep one, Rio!), and help from CHobbit, I would like to tell youse guys that we are $90 short of the half way point for the “Clothe the Giant” fund. Rebecca’s estimated the total cost to be $100.
Also, a new Giant sled has been completely funded.
Wooooooooooooooooohoooooooooo!
6:41 pm on March 26th, 2013
I learned how to set the alarm on my iPaw. The reason I needed it? LLL is going to going to face a judge and I needed to tell her good luck!
AJ, where was all that snow at the beginning of the month?
6:41 pm on March 26th, 2013
Sheesh!! That is $1000.
7:04 pm on March 26th, 2013
I have been targeting my loose change to Snowhook this year. I toss my extra pennies, nickets, etc into a bowl and periodically roll it into coin sorters that I take to the bank. I have also been trying to break a couple of bad grocery store habits and I toss the money saved into the bowl. That way I really don’t impact my budget and it goes to a good cause.
However, I have been stress eating this week, darn those chocolate-covered walnuts! They are calling my name just like that bootie called for Annabelle. Dark chocolate even makes me sick so I don’t understand why I can’t resist. GAH!
7:08 pm on March 26th, 2013
CHobbit: I feel your pain. I have been doing so much stress eating, but I really don’t know why.
7:14 pm on March 26th, 2013
CHobbit – Save the picture to your desktop. Click on the picture and then right-click to save it. Then you can email it or send it out any way you want.
7:14 pm on March 26th, 2013
A Giant sled has been completely funded! Awesome! Was A Plunderer involved?
7:26 pm on March 26th, 2013
WHAT!?….Snort!….I had to read Rose’s post 2 or 3 times. Did she just tell us a New Giant Sled Has been FULLY FUNDED?…wheeze!…How can this be? I did not know we had a Sled-Fund going…gasp!…Spill the Beans Rose!…heh!
7:35 pm on March 26th, 2013
Sled!…If Rose did not make a typo, this is awesome news!…snort!…It is AMAZINGLY AWESOME news!…Wow!Wow!Wow!…I’m twirling, I’m spinning, I’m leaping!….Wheeze!…Wait, I better wait till Rose confirms this awesome news….gasp!cough!
7:40 pm on March 26th, 2013
Woo Hoo! Way to to go sledding!
Stress eating not so much here. Having trouble eating. Too much going on . . Talk to the doctor about it on Thursday.
Had to take Mattie to the vet today. She has torn her ACL back right knee. Rest for many weeks, then swimming. Hopefully by the time she is off resting (weeks and weeks) the snow will be gone and we can open the pool.
Too much snow, rain, melting and more snow is causing a real problem with ice. We think she slipped down in the play yard. The play yard is now closed again.
The vet kept Mattie in a room and not a crate while I was coming back to pick her up. She got bored, turned the doorknob and went in the operating room to learn how to do surgery.
She was pleased with herself. snicker
7:44 pm on March 26th, 2013
Waltzing!…Matilda!…heh!snort!…Melanie, I hope you are taking care of yourself. Not eating does not sound like something you should be doing…grunt!
7:44 pm on March 26th, 2013
Rose?
WOOOHOOO
7:45 pm on March 26th, 2013
SiberH!…Did you know about a Giant-Sled Fund?…sniff!sniff!
8:13 pm on March 26th, 2013
A new Giant sled completely funded????? !!!!!! Wowzer! Fantastic.
The rents just returned from a “Chicken Chat” meeting, where they learned lots of stuff about chickens, but nothing about keeping Sibes out of the hen house. heh heh!
8:14 pm on March 26th, 2013
C Hobbit, We right click and then save to My Pictures. Then we can email to friends by attaching the pic. Maybe there is an easier way do it. MPM is more compute-literate than we are.
Nighty noodles all.
8:15 pm on March 26th, 2013
Mattie! She taught me everything I know about Teleportation.
Heh, heh. We are picturing the looks on their faces when she strolled into the operating room.
The Sled Fund had been mentioned briefly. But now it’s fully funded?
Wose is the Bestest Fund-Raiser Ever.
8:15 pm on March 26th, 2013
OMD!!!
Did we really read what we think we read? Can it be possible?
The way this is going, our favorite musher is going to have to become a rock star type, complete with gold lame’ snowsuit, and sparkly bling stuff on the sled runners. He will win the race by virtue of blinding the competition with his flash and skill.
8:21 pm on March 26th, 2013
Highly Decorated Refrigerator
8:25 pm on March 26th, 2013
Laughing here, Royals. Can just see AJ . . The Musher has BLING!
C.Hobbit, unless you have a mac I can not help you.
BSD, Mattie will need all her teleportation skills. Several years ago I tried to convince Zoë we needed a dumbwaiter. She said no for no reason other than we had no place to put it. We could use it now. And if it was powered Mattie could wear a hat like the elevator operators once wore. She could go up and then down, then up and then down.
8:30 pm on March 26th, 2013
Did youse hear the 9 year on the video talking about how important baseball is?
The kid is obviously a genius.
8:32 pm on March 26th, 2013
…..that avatar does not look like me.
8:32 pm on March 26th, 2013
Rio, This is the first I have heard of the new sled fund. I didn’t know we were collecting money for a new sled.
Someone, somewhere, needs to tell us more.
8:34 pm on March 26th, 2013
We love this one:
8:37 pm on March 26th, 2013
Hmm…Someone here has mixed up their Time Space Continuum.
That topic was from another space, if not another time.
It may be time to call it a day – Bear
8:45 pm on March 26th, 2013
Nighty night all. We are off to dreamland, where little chicken feet will go dancing past us all night. Slurp.
8:47 pm on March 26th, 2013
Baseball!…Did I miss a baseball video somehow?…snort!
8:57 pm on March 26th, 2013
What baseball video?
8:57 pm on March 26th, 2013
Whitey-Lance’s fur turned pink after he saw Princess Sam’s post. I didn’t know he could blush for so long.
9:00 pm on March 26th, 2013
The Turtleman, Dad and I waited at the specialist eye doctors for 4 hours!!!!! 4 fricking hours. We did occasionally get to move around and watch Dad do tests and then we got to go back to the waiting room. We arrived home at about 5:45 and we were starved. Take out soup from around the corner and a nap were our priorities. I am way behind on my water intake for today but Dad’s eye pressure is 12 which is way normal. So great!
She wants us back in 3-4 months. Heh. Dawson-I am warning you! Geez! Bring several books. I brought knitting thank dog. Yikes.

I am also going to sleep. I will return in the morning. I think I have a day off. Sicker. At least a day where I don’t have to get up early and go somewhere.
Does anyone else here have bad grocery line Karma?
OH’s Pop, love the fridge. Does that what they look like without drool splatter?

Tomorrow morning you are going to see 4 posts from Staff/Alice. They are now moderated. I have no idea why. I tried eliminating several words but nothing helped. I had both Staff and Alice M. post. Still not luck.
Abbie is posting this just because.
9:14 pm on March 26th, 2013
Sorry guys…no video here…it was posted on facebookie and the topic of baseball was just a teeny-weeny part of it.
Leave it to Bear to get everyone riled up.
Mom is going to finish her Andy Carpenter book so I’m signing off until tomorrow.
Goodnight all.
9:14 pm on March 26th, 2013
Hmmm. I am not on the SOL list. I am quite smug about it.
9:15 pm on March 26th, 2013
Melanie: I’m watching New Tricks then off to bed.
Wow! A sled has been funded! Yippee! One cannot have too many sleds.
9:16 pm on March 26th, 2013
Mod-er-ated!…snort!…Staff and Alice being moderated for no apparent reason All Day Long. Why do I find this so funny?…heh!heh!chorkel!….It is very funny!…heh!
9:31 pm on March 26th, 2013
Just in case anyone is in need of a good laugh tonight, this is it.

Sled! I can report that there was a Sled for the Giant campaign established, and I can report as quickly as it was established, it met its goal. I’m not sure of the details, and neither is my Lady. She said something about generosity, lickety split and dog dish runneth over. I will let those responsible come forward if they wish in case they want to remain anonymous.
9:46 pm on March 26th, 2013
Whitey!…Excellant news!…snort!…Absolutely excellant news. I’m so happy, although it hasn’t really sunk in yet how this all happend so quickly..snorkel!
9:51 pm on March 26th, 2013
This is wonderful news! 2014 is shaping up to be a fabulous year so far.
Bella, how is your back feeling? Mom is concerned.
9:55 pm on March 26th, 2013
Wookie’s Mom. Tres funny!
10:05 pm on March 26th, 2013
Do any of youse remember the moose my Lady had a showdown with in the driveway last year? Well, she just met his mama. My Lady is halfway down the driveway. It is a staring contest between the two. My Lady’s back is still hurting, but she couldn’t take boredom anymore so she was going to go to the post office box for a bit of excitement. Yeep!
10:06 pm on March 26th, 2013
Wookie’s Mom – giggle. Serves him right.
10:08 pm on March 26th, 2013
Hmmm. Mama Moose meets Pink Bulldozer. Sounds like the makings for a new reality show.
10:08 pm on March 26th, 2013
Moose!….Moose Alert!..snort!….Moose Alert! Danger!Danger!…yeeep!yeeep!…Back up and go inside the house where it is safe and Moose-Free…yeeep!
10:14 pm on March 26th, 2013
My Ladg is at a stand still she can’t back up the quarter mile to the house baca use of her back.
10:19 pm on March 26th, 2013
Out! My Lady made it out of the driveway! Whew!
11:00 pm on March 26th, 2013
My Lady is home safe. She said there were a lot of happy cards in the mail. That made her happy. The moose moosegrated out of the driveway by the time she returned.
11:28 pm on March 26th, 2013
Rebecca I am sure you were not bored there for a while. Snicker.
Staff said to tell you that the Turtleman found her missing pot. He looked in the back of the top shelf of a counter next to the fridge. The pots are never stored over there. She looked on the bottom shelf. It is easy to see that shelf without having to bend in half. The Turtleman can bend in half easily. Sniff. Staff, not so much.
She is very suspicious that he knew where to look immediately, but she is saying nothing because her Pot is BACK! YaaaaYYYY!
11:33 pm on March 26th, 2013
Dawson sent Staff a recipe from the Lucini Olive Oil people. She has been browsing their site and became very hungry. After a break for toast and dandelion honey she found this recipe.
She is going to try it. First she has to buy the lemon infused olive oil. She has been looking for an excuse.

Now I am going to bed. These late naps are difficult to sleep around.
