New E-Story
“Last summer we had A Cat Was Involved,” Admin says. “I hear there’s another e-story in the works for this summer.”
“I hear the same thing,” says Spence.
“Do we have a title?”
“Two possibilities at the moment.”
“Yes?”
“Iggy in the Wind is one. The other is The Iggy Chronicles, Volume 1.”
“I gather the subject matter concerns Iggy.”
“Say no more.”
Welcome sleepy dude, so therefore dude, resting dude.

9:27 am on May 9th, 2013
Hi, Bear!
9:27 am on May 9th, 2013
“The Iggy Chronicles, Volume 1” is making me laugh! When is it coming out?
Wolfie: Keep plundering on.
Good morning all.
9:28 am on May 9th, 2013
There Bear is! I was wondering.
9:28 am on May 9th, 2013
RIO! Ahem, so my Yankees won, 3-2!
10:04 am on May 9th, 2013
Go Yankees!
10:11 am on May 9th, 2013
We just placed an order with B & N. We ordered 2 of Once Upon a Flock for gifts, the new Robbie book, as a gift,(coming out next week), Birds of Illinois for a gift, and American Grown for Barb.
Also ordered a baby shower gift on line, so it has been an expensive morning and Barb has not even left the house.
Wolfie, sorry to hear about the canceled plans with Chad, but as you said it is his loss. Maybe some day life will get easier, but your mom has gone beyond what is expected of a parent. She should not be blaming herself.
10:36 am on May 9th, 2013
Good morning. Happy Day! We won! We won! We won!!!!!!
The Iggy Chronicles!!!!! Love it! Cannot wait!!!!!
Staff, the picture of beautiful you holding beautiful Alice in that beautiful garden was pure eye candy.
C.Hobbit, How awful about your parakeet. And we are sad with you for your having to leave your friends and your familiar home. Keep that quilt over your shoulders.
Wolfie, we echo what everyone else has said, and perhaps B.Stover said it best: Plunder on.
11:53 am on May 9th, 2013
Gooood morning everyone! Mom is running late this a.m. Dawson: Opossum wasn’t dead when mom chucked it, it waddled away later. She does have a recipe for “possum with coon fat gravy” tho’.
Wolfie: Always remember this: Your friends you choose, your family you explain 🙂 CHobbit: Sorry to hear about the budgie, they are feisty little guys.
12:09 pm on May 9th, 2013
C Hobbit, This has been a bad few weeks for you. We are so sorry for your losses.
12:14 pm on May 9th, 2013
Hey, we just noticed, “Iggy Chronicles”. Sounds like fun.
12:22 pm on May 9th, 2013
C. Hobbit: Thinking of you . .
Staff: Mr. Staff HAS to see this. One trekie to another . .
New movie coming out next week. But this is a classic.

12:32 pm on May 9th, 2013
CHobbit, I’m so sorry to hear about your parakeet. Loving thoughts are coming your way from New York.
12:33 pm on May 9th, 2013
Good Morning everyone! It’s a beautiful day with Finn!
Melanie: The video doesn’t work anyomore *sob*! I’m a huge Trekkie!
Yay! Another Spencer Quinn novel for me to read on the beach!
12:34 pm on May 9th, 2013
Wolfie, Your mom is generous in spirit and kind at heart. One day, your boys will wake up to that fact.
12:36 pm on May 9th, 2013
Sammie, Yay, our team won! I think they are playing one more game with the Rockies this afternoon.
12:55 pm on May 9th, 2013
Good day everyone! Couldn’t get my paws on the computer yesterday and must get off early today (like now).
CHobbit: Paws crossed the house sells quickly and the future will hold nothing but the best for you.
Way to go, Wolfie! You know how to plunder on with class.
1:07 pm on May 9th, 2013
FinnDogsMom, are you on a mobile device? I can try to put that link up. I’m still getting the link.
1:10 pm on May 9th, 2013

BBL for Reals.
1:47 pm on May 9th, 2013
E-Story!….Hey, what happened to the Teitelbaum Divorce Case story?…sniff! sniff!…I was hoping to read all about that this summer…grunt!
Chronicles!…Definitely The Iggy Chronicles, if there is no Teitelbaum story…wheeze!
2:09 pm on May 9th, 2013
Yay, Iggy. Go Iggy go!
2:33 pm on May 9th, 2013
I was wondering if Iggy was involved with the Teitelbaum case . .
I listened to my brain today! It said, “Perhaps it is not a good idea to use the axe when you are here with only the Pack for company.”
I’m so proud of myself. Mattie is still having trouble hitting the buttons for 911.
3:08 pm on May 9th, 2013
Iggy!…Maybe he caused the Teitelbaum Divorce!…snort!
3:22 pm on May 9th, 2013
Delayed!…grunt!…Beau and I were all settled in for the Yankees game. I finally found some little headphones for him..sniff!…But the game is Delayed due to rain…grumble!
3:23 pm on May 9th, 2013
Yippeee!…Now they are playing…snort!snort!…I wonder for how long…hmmmm!
3:24 pm on May 9th, 2013
Yeep!…Oh no. It is Jeff Francis vs Sabathia…grump!…I am not a fan of Francis…gurgle!
3:29 pm on May 9th, 2013
RIO! If Sabathia’s got game today, another game could be won by the Yankees….
3:30 pm on May 9th, 2013
Rose!…Unfortunately, I know…grunt!…Francis. Bah!
3:33 pm on May 9th, 2013
Pitches!…It only took 29 pitches for Francis to get the first 3 outs…grump!…And the Yankees have scored already…sniff!…Now Sabathia will throw the book at us…weep!sob!
3:38 pm on May 9th, 2013
RIO! Look on the bright side…..
3:42 pm on May 9th, 2013
Rose!…The Game is Tied!…Wooooo!…And we still have runners on base…chuffle!
3:47 pm on May 9th, 2013
Go Yankees! In my Zen rock garden I have pebbles borrowed from special places. One of them was found at a park they created on the footprint of the original Yankee Stadium. My son and I were there the day of David Cone’s perfect game.
3:49 pm on May 9th, 2013
RIO! The game has only just begun….
3:52 pm on May 9th, 2013
Terry: Wow! You were at Cone’s perfect game?!! How cool that must have been. I have always been a fan of his. But when he put those pinstripes on, well, what can I say?
I think B may owe us some pie…..
3:55 pm on May 9th, 2013
Terry!…I knew this Yankees game would pull Terry out of the woodwork…heh!
3:56 pm on May 9th, 2013
The best thing about The Iggy Chronicles, Volume 1, is that it seems to suggest that there could well be a Volume 2 and perhaps even a Volume 3 at some later date. Go Iggy!
4:00 pm on May 9th, 2013
Iggy Chronicles, Volume 1. Then Volume 2, 3, and so on and so forth.
Not Iggy in the Wind, because whose wind? Beau’s? Rio’s? Not good.
CHobbit: You cannot catch a break. So sorry to hear about your parakeet.
Melanie: I am very glad you listened to your brain on this day. Loved the link.
Rainy day. I planted some grass seed. Well, I scattered some seed. Two mallads (ma & pa) came into the yard to check it out.
It feels like nap time.
4:00 pm on May 9th, 2013
It was the 17th perfect game in history. If I were to make a list of the five most amazing days of my life, this one couldn’t miss. The stadium was only 4 fifths full even though it was Yogi Berra Day, and when it was over and we went down the ramp, I don’t think my feet touched the ground. In the First inning, O’Neill made a flying superman catch to end the inning, and I told my son “There’s 1 9th of a perfect game.”
4:04 pm on May 9th, 2013
Dawson!…snort!heh!snort!…Beau and I are the wind beneath your feet…grunt!
4:10 pm on May 9th, 2013
Melanie, sometimes ya just get lucky. We almost had a thought…a pushbutton phone for the visually impared (with BIG buttons) would make it easier for Mattie to dial. We generally use the dog with the smallest paws. -Emma P
4:13 pm on May 9th, 2013
Dawson, Seems you and Wookie’s Dad had the same thought at the same time about Iggy!
Rose, Did you know that Lily is Barb’s granddaughter and Peaches is the chick Lily hatched in an incubator and hand raised 4 years ago? She was handled so much as a chick and she imprinted on people, so she is extremely friendly and loves to be held.
4:20 pm on May 9th, 2013
Apple pie coming up.
4:23 pm on May 9th, 2013
I did realize that Lily is Barb’s grandaughter. I’m not so sure about Peaches. I don’t know if I was here 4 years ago, although I do remember Peaches speak on this here blog. She does look like a very friendly and docile chickie.
4:41 pm on May 9th, 2013
Terry! Wow, youse guys got to see a perfect game. I bet your aon will tell that story to his grandchildren.
HOH, Mattie is the smallest Newf. She’ a little girl weighing about 120 pounds.
4:47 pm on May 9th, 2013
Peaches!…Chickens can not talk..sniff!…They do not have lips either.
Rain!…Our game has been delayed so Beau and I are listening to the Nats and the Tigers game…snort!…Maybe. If I can get this audio figured out…grunt!
4:47 pm on May 9th, 2013
Terry: That was a great day for David Cone and the Yankees!
4:48 pm on May 9th, 2013
RIO! What is the score?
5:10 pm on May 9th, 2013
Score!…Nats 5 to Tigers 1….snort!
5:10 pm on May 9th, 2013
Baseball and apple pie…sounds like the perfect American pastime.
5:14 pm on May 9th, 2013
Peaches also went to the book signing with Barb and the girls.
5:39 pm on May 9th, 2013
Wow, I have to say that last winter was hard, hard, hard, but . .
I just went out back to take this video, and I scared up two Great Blue Herons. They flew over the island and scared up a white tailed deer. WOW.
Oh, and the video is of the path that I’m making. That’s why I needed the axe.
Some stubborn stumps that would have ripped through weed suppressant material.

5:41 pm on May 9th, 2013
RIO! Not that score…….
6:10 pm on May 9th, 2013
Melanie, 120lbs was our Aretha (show me respect)’s size. A petite girl. Loved your video. Our water doesn’t move like yours, it just lays around in 1) a wading pool and 2) a fish pond 🙁
6:21 pm on May 9th, 2013
Nothing wrong with a fish pond. The Newfs would love it. One of the things Newfs do automatically? Fish. Heh, heh, heh . .
6:42 pm on May 9th, 2013
Home!…My friend is home and we are watching the game…snort!…The rain delay was 2 hours long.
6:50 pm on May 9th, 2013
Hair!…Her mother was supposed to be gone having her hair permed to a frazz….sniff!…But that was cancelled for tomorrow. Imagine my friends surprise when she came home and all she wanted to do was turn on the game, instead we had to listen to my friend discuss the horrible day she had first to appease her mom….wheeze!grunt!…Now it is bottom of the 6th inning.
6:57 pm on May 9th, 2013
Looks like it’s 3 – 1Yankees.
7:00 pm on May 9th, 2013
Rockies!….Clap!Clap! Clap!Clap!Clap!….GO ROCKIES!….Wooooo!
7:17 pm on May 9th, 2013
Cheers!…Lets Go Rockies, Lets Go!….snort!…Clap!Clap!- Clap!Clap!Clap!…wheeze!
7:20 pm on May 9th, 2013
HELTON!…Is up to bat with the tying runs on base!….WOOOOO!…Come on Helton!…Uh oh, Yankees boss is talking to the pitcher…sniff!
7:21 pm on May 9th, 2013
PIZZA!…Is here! Its a dilemma…grunt!…Maybe we can watch upstairs…wheeze!
7:21 pm on May 9th, 2013
Let’s go Yanks!
7:25 pm on May 9th, 2013
Oooo, a Rio vs Rose takedown. Who will be left twirling at the end of the night?
7:46 pm on May 9th, 2013
Yankees! …Out! Arenada bare-handed got that Yankee out!…wooooo!…It is Top of the 9th and I am chewing on couch cushions…sneeze!
7:49 pm on May 9th, 2013
RIO! I am watching the game, and chewing on couch cushions myself. Mo is coming in!
7:51 pm on May 9th, 2013
Gah!…For some reason I was thinking about Peaches and her getting to meet our favorite author before I do…grump!…The good thing is she cannot talk about it…heh!…Or write about it – so it is like it never happened…chorkel!…I feel much better now.
8:00 pm on May 9th, 2013
Sob!…Sob!…
…Sob!Sob!Sob!
Walk!…And the worst thing is we have to go on a really long walk to “walk off the pizza”…Grump! SOB!
8:03 pm on May 9th, 2013
I’m skipping and twirling . And I will not have to go on a long walk. I’m going to bed.
8:10 pm on May 9th, 2013
Poor baby Rio. I feel terrible about that Yankees game.
8:11 pm on May 9th, 2013
Riö, have you not heard of chicken scratch handwriting?
8:23 pm on May 9th, 2013
Poor Rio, experiencing both the “agony of defeat” and the agony of da feet all in one night
8:24 pm on May 9th, 2013
You may or may not have heard that I had a paw in the destruction of several harnesses in the race this year. My involvement was to the extent that it got me sent home early. Charlie, too, but he’s too ashamed to show his ears on this here blog because of B. He says B has high expectations and he doesn’t want to disappoint her. Me? I say keep expectations low. In 2012, I was a last minute substitution in the Race and there was much worry that I wouldn’t be able to do it. I was expected to be dropped in the first 300 miles, but was I? No. I made it to Nome—And, Doc hits one outta the ball park!—but that’s a story for another time.
The truth is I will probably chew more harnesses. What can I say? There is something about the way the way my teeth pop through the padding. Chet would understand. If I never destroy another harness, you’ll think me a good boy. If I do chew another harness, then hey, I’ve met your expectations. It’s a win-win situation, if you ask me.
We here at the Kennel want to express our gratitude for all the support you’ve shown us. The Have Harness, Will Travel fund will allow us not only to get new harnesses, but make new ganglines and tuglines—I may have also chewed my fair share of both. Thank you from the bottom of our sled dog hearts for being part of Snowhook. You truly are part of the team. (FYI: Truly is my Lady’s word. I don’t use words like truly, no self-respecting Outlaw does).
Head bumps,
Doc.
P.S. Charlie and I apologize in advance for anything that may or may not happen to the harnesses.
8:49 pm on May 9th, 2013
Culprits!…And Outlaws!…snort!…I love those guys…heh!heh!
8:51 pm on May 9th, 2013
Wheeze!…We are back and CHobbit has hit the paw on the head…sneeze!…We all were in Agony of Defeat and then Da Feet…sniff!…It’s not a happy home right now…grunt!…Maybe there is something on TV to cheer us up…wuffle!sob!
8:53 pm on May 9th, 2013
Doc (the sometimes good boy): How do you chew on a harness that is wrapped snuggly around your torso? That is what I can’t figure out. It is not that harnesses are just left laying around for you to destroy. Or maybe lying around (I can’t remember B’s grammar lesson). Tuglines and ganglines I understand.
8:53 pm on May 9th, 2013
Rio, while you’re resting up from that brutal walk, don’t forget about American Idol. It’s very good tonight, of course.
8:55 pm on May 9th, 2013
I had a nice long post ready this morning and the young man who is helping our phone line called to say the power would be on and off. He offed it just as I was ready to post. sniff. Gone, all gone.
here is the picture I was going to post for Barb and Maggie.
Now I have to wait for the hardware cloth to come in at the Hardware Hank. sniff. I am afraid it won’t be in till next week. However nothing is budding yet although the grass is starting to green up.
CHobbit condolences for another loss. Your budgie will be missed I know. You and Sadie are struggling with loneliness right now.
Rose I hope you are adjusting to the new meds. Take care and if you need the smoochers I know they will be there in a swift minute.
O’Howlers, we are sending good wishes to you for the new young one.
8:57 pm on May 9th, 2013
Are harnesses always made of webbing? Would leather be less destructible or would they be more tasty? If they were the type padded with sheepskin, would the fuzziness deter eating? Pondering

Oh for pete’s sake. Now I posted twice. Hopefully, since one is in moderation, no one will notice.
9:10 pm on May 9th, 2013
The ‘rents just got home. They had to go to a viewing of something or another,but then, they found this very cool, funky Cuban restaurant a block or so away from that there viewing home. They loved the place and their meals, and so now the evening was not so bad after all.
Thanks for the good wishes. We are off to our beds.
9:11 pm on May 9th, 2013
Charlie: What is this about harness?
9:14 pm on May 9th, 2013
Imposter-S!…Yeep!…We are just now watching Idol…snort!…Thanks for reminding me. Although, it is not the Final Night, is it?…grunt!…I can pretty much predict who will be left standing tonight…sneeze!
9:17 pm on May 9th, 2013
CHobbit: Two things: first, we know your birdie was welcomed warmly on the other side of the Bridge. Secondly—to answer your question about how a harness can be destroyed while being worn—I call it talent. When I’m at my best I can destroy a harness before the giant can set the Snowhook and make his way to me. Is leather anything like a slim Jim? Sounds delish.
9:21 pm on May 9th, 2013
Whitey!…Is this how Whitey-Lance got away? He chewed through his harness…snort!…That is talent. I’m thinking about me and Beau’s harnesses and there is no way in hell I could chew through his let alone mine…sniff!…Although, my teeth don’t come together like sled-dogs teeth do…cough!
9:24 pm on May 9th, 2013
SiberH!…Does anyone know where SiberH is at today?…grunt!…He missed another Yankees game…dammit!
9:35 pm on May 9th, 2013
Doc, make sure your Lady doesn’t take you to the dentist.
YSAS said something funny.I asked what his weather was going to be, and he said he hadn’t asked Siri yet. Huh? Well, somehow or another Siri just popped up on my iPad andI asked what the weather was like right now. It told me!
Golinka has been running herself ragged, and she is getting everything done. She has to get up at 4:45 am tomorrow to do the show. She sent me a very short message saying she was going to sleep. That was at 8.
9:39 pm on May 9th, 2013
Golinka!…I’ve been thinking of Golinka a lot today…snort!…I do hope her show is gang-busters and she sell out of everything…wheeze!…Her selling season has begun!…Wooooo!…I would really like to travel along with Golinka one season and see how it’s done…heh!
9:39 pm on May 9th, 2013
Oh, B.Stover, Deb who had the red squirrel in her house? Today she had an ermine. She has told the landlord to bring over the live trap and find the varmint entrance.
9:55 pm on May 9th, 2013
Squirrel!…Well, Rocky the Undercover Squirrel has a ton of weird friends, so Deb can expect anyone and anything to show up in her home…heh!heh!
Traps!…Those guys scoff at traps…snort!
9:58 pm on May 9th, 2013
Good night all.
Golinka, good luck at the show this weekend.
Staff, the gardens look great! Get planting!
10:03 pm on May 9th, 2013
Idol!…Sob!sob!Sob!Sob!Sob!…
…Angie was not our fave, but we here still loved listening to her sing her heart out week after week….snuffle!…She will do very, very well in the music business…chuffle!
10:47 pm on May 9th, 2013
Twins over Boston AGAIN!
Heh.
10:57 pm on May 9th, 2013
Twinkies!…Wow!…I am impressed. Those Sox need a notch or two cut out of their high and mighty ladder…snort!snort!
11:30 pm on May 9th, 2013
oRio, Too right.
Nighty night.
11:36 pm on May 9th, 2013
