Smart dog, stupid human for leaving the money in the car and apparently forgetting about it.
Good morning all.
8:40 am on October 3rd, 2013
Gooood morning, everyone! B: We agree about the human. Never leave any life form (except maybe fungus) alone in a vehicle! Rio: Noticed you were a bit miffed last night because some of us pooped out early. Would you rather we reversed our read time and computer time so that we can be here from 9- 10?
(Especially for Dima) And for anyont else under the quilt tooday, have a theraputic Thursday š
8:42 am on October 3rd, 2013
Morning everybuddy! My four-legged mom let me log in as a treat since Biddie moved out yesterday and now I only have the old ladies to play with.
There is some serious pee mail at the Bark Park.
8:43 am on October 3rd, 2013
Good Morning! Dima went to work with Mom this morning, so it is just Kat and me here today, unless you count T.C., but she is in the house.
Mom asked me to tell youse that she and Pop will be in Seattle on Feb 25th, from 10:38 am to 12:55 pm.
8:52 am on October 3rd, 2013
So far that is OH, Staff and HOH with overlapping times on the 25th. Mom just wonders why she gets held hostage for so long š Oops, maybe OH and Staff don’t quite o’lap, BUT mom is there for the duration…with a diabetic man no less.
9:31 am on October 3rd, 2013
Hi Annie! I have not been to a dog park in forever. Lucky you.
HOH, Why are they keeping you in Seattle so long?
Is there a list of those going to Alaska?
9:41 am on October 3rd, 2013
Mom and Dad have a layover in Seattle too, but she is at work and the info is at home. She doesn’t think it is as long as HOH’s Mom and Dad, though. She thinks they get to Anchorage about the same time as OH’s ‘rents.
I think the list is:
Mom and Dad
OH’s ‘rents
HOH’s folks
Staff and Mr. Staff
Mollypop’s Mom
Barb (without Maggie)
C.Hobbit
9:42 am on October 3rd, 2013
Oh wait…the saga continues. Updated itinerary arrived via email. Chattanooga to Charlotte to Seattle..oops 5 min. before on a flight Charlotte to Newark ??? Both sit in Seattle HOURS one leaves at 11p the other at 12a. What are they trying to do? We are on hold again! More news as it becomes available
Think Staff noted all going earlier but not sure: BooBear’s folks, Barb (sans Maggie), MPM/LuLu’s mom, Staff & Mr., OH’s ‘rents and HOH peeps.
9:43 am on October 3rd, 2013
Seriously – how many people do they have flying into Anchorage around the sane time on the same date? Would you not think they might all end up on the same plane out of SeaTac?
(I shoulda been a travel agent!)
9:45 am on October 3rd, 2013
You’d probably do a better job!
9:50 am on October 3rd, 2013
I forgot that Macy’s Mom was a maybe for the trip.
9:53 am on October 3rd, 2013
Oops, obviously we did too š
10:02 am on October 3rd, 2013
Thanks, BooBear and HOH. We now have a list on our iPaw.
10:21 am on October 3rd, 2013
HOH – tell your Mom to embrace her inner Pink Bulldozer, contact her travel agent and tell the agent the acceptable parameters of the layover, and the preferred departure time from SeaTac. Have the info ready from Staff’s flight, and tell the agent that THAT is the flight you prefer.
Chances are (with a little firm teacher style persuasion) you will get your request. And do not be afraid to pull the diabetes/disability card. It is not an excuse – it is a valid concern!
10:21 am on October 3rd, 2013
Greetings!
Youse guys are going to have a blast meeting each other. Don’t forget your passports, and Plunderer IDs. Woooooooooohooooooo!
10:22 am on October 3rd, 2013
Have fun tonight, Spence!
10:25 am on October 3rd, 2013
gOOD MORNING! Someone Here sees some Plunderer Passport stamping opportunites!!!
Hounds: Maybe we can figure out Some Way to Rescue youse. That is just tooooo looonnng to wait in the airport!
Silly Sundance. All’s well that ends with the 5 C-Notes back in paw.
Rio: Yark! We will be able to post Much Later when the new iPaw arrives!
10:49 am on October 3rd, 2013
Rio: Yark! What? A new ipaw?????
10:54 am on October 3rd, 2013
T&G’s Mama: Would love to “put on my big girl panties” for this but the Daddy Dawg used on of those on line travel places and used his membership š Mom, on the other paw always uses a local travel agent. Can even get good rates almost instantly.
10:56 am on October 3rd, 2013
NEVERMIND…Our mom is reading every 3rd or 10th word (whichever is more). BSD has the new ipaw…Our bad:(
11:21 am on October 3rd, 2013
Hounds: A new iPAW Mini will Replace the Nexus 10 that was defective and which has been Returned to Amazon. We must wait for the credit to show up on Nana’s account before the replacement can be shipped in 5-10 days, which I happen to know is more than 2. Sigh. (this all seems to part of the series of computer glitches that are happening on the blog.)
There MUST BE some way for the Travel Agent (online or not) to be able to smooth out the wrinkles in your trip scheduling. The present itinerary is quite unacceptable in IMHO.
Dawson: We found the missing Paw Print stamp!
11:42 am on October 3rd, 2013
Rainy and gloomy here today. Barb was going to paint the patio today, but that is now on the back burner. Need to have dry conditions for 24 hours after concrete paint is applied.
Baye is going to the home coming f.b. game tomorrow night and then has a date (her first) with another Freshman for the dance Saturday. Kelly told her she could invite some friends over for pictures before the dance, along with their parents. She thought she would serve some refreshments-some appies and drinks. Baye just told her there would probably be about 40-50 people coming over! 15 girls, some w/dates and their parents. I think Kelly was thinking more like a doz. people!
11:45 am on October 3rd, 2013
I can still say, Good Morning!
I have been to the acupuncturist this morning. Hopefully, the remains of the drugs the docs used will now leave me alone.
I have asked for a passport for Christmas! Don’t know when I’ll use it.
Be Prepared to Plunder On.
11:46 am on October 3rd, 2013
Breaking news. The more things change, the more they stay the same. At least the double booking Charlotte to Seattle and Charlotte to Newark to Seattle is gone. All this because the original 1:30 out of Sea-Tac is unavailable so now (drumroll, please) Chattanooga to Charlotte to Seattle arriving @ noon PST. Depart Sea-Tac 9:10, Arrive Anchorage 11:55 AST. Wow, we’ll be traveling from 7 a.m. till 4 a.m. our time. Sounds like fun.
11:50 am on October 3rd, 2013
B&M: Kids are soooo fun. Really glad Daddy Dawg’s grew up without homicide in the family š Now, like there are grands to give others “little blessings”.
11:55 am on October 3rd, 2013
Melanie: Nana just got her Passport renewed in September (the previous one had expired and was well over 15 years old.)
She doesn’t know when she will use hers either…But…Just in case.
Barb&Magpie: Gulp. That’s a Bunch!!!
Hi Annie!
12:05 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Baye’s date wanted to know what color her dress is, so his mom can get him a tie that matches. He is in honors classes and is “from the south, so he has manners”. Three boys asked her to the dance – looks like she made a good choice.
Barb is going to make cowboy caviar for the get-together, so that will help a little with the food prep.
12:22 pm on October 3rd, 2013
B&M: Being southern ourselves, howza ’bout Velveeta cheese melted w/ a can of mild tomatoes & chilis. 5 min. prep, easy as pie.
Did someone say pie?
12:39 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Barb and Maggie, I don’t understand how being from the South makes one have manners. My Pop is from here, and he is the most gentlemanly man I know.
12:49 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Meashka, Don’t take offense, the quote was from a 14 year old, after all. However, some southern kids still attend Cotillion classes, where they learn dances, manners and etiquette.
12:52 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Southern Gentleman . , the best on I know is Master Redbone Hound!
BearSpiritDog, my passport was about as old as your mom’s.
Two pictures from our area coming up.
12:53 pm on October 3rd, 2013
12:54 pm on October 3rd, 2013
That man had to work for his money. Ugh.
Hi Annie: Keep those old folks on their toes.
Pretty sure that the flight Staff is on has been sold out. It has disappeared from the choices on the Alaska Air website.
1:00 pm on October 3rd, 2013
The man from the far North who lives in this house has good intentions but bad manners.
I believe the Giant has impeccable manners and he is a Northern gentleman.
One never knows.
1:00 pm on October 3rd, 2013
All youse guys should have chartered your own flight. Not me. I’m not allowed to go. Don’t worry. I’ll make her sorry for not taking me to the Iditarod.
1:10 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Melanie: Those fotos are wonderful and so evocative of autumn. (Ah, vocabulary, sometimes one needs it.)
1:24 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Beautifuil pictures, Melanie. No trees are turning here, but a cold front is due tomorrow. WOO HOO
I’m from Texas and I have good manners. Mom says good manners and stubborn are two seperate things.
1:29 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Melanie-Photographer Extraordinare. (both are beautiful, but especially love the second shot)
I think the sun may be making an appearance! The Seattle area reported having the wettest September on record this year.
Siber: You have the very best manners. Like Mr. Redbone Hound, you are a gentlemandog.
1:47 pm on October 3rd, 2013
This may come as a surprise, but we’ve never been accused of having manners.
Melanie: The pictures are beautiful. The leaves started changing for us quite a while ago.
1:52 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Nights here haven’t gone below 55*F. Only change in leaves is some dry yellow due to lack of rain š Hope we have some cooler nights in the next 2 weeks so we have some color.
2:08 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Hey, guys. Be sure to click on Melanie’s pictures to enlarge them. The colors are much more brilliant when viewed like that.
BooBear
2:12 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Melanie, such lovely pictures, and beautiful colors. Trees here in New York are slowly starting to turn. I took the train into my busy place yesterday. The sun on the Hudson was so beautiful!
Mr. Redbone Hound and Siber-H have wonderful manners. When I met Wookie and Teddy’s pop, I told him I always referred to Wookie as “a gentleman and a scholar.”
And yes, the Giant does have impeccable manners.
Hey, has anybody noticed all the commercials on tv for Alaska tourism? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
2:13 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Masquers, Thank you. I will make sure mom reads your post
2:22 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Lovely pictures Melanie.
Rose’s description has made me think of the Hudson River School (19th Century painters).
2:23 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Gah. One would think making reservations over 6 months in advance would guarantee youse a worry free flight schedule. No one wants a repeat of the flight from hell that Rose & the Prof experienced last time.
HOH: Paws crossed the matter is resolved in your favor. If not… do not despair…we will definitely come up with a plan.
2:30 pm on October 3rd, 2013
HRH, B: When the Prof first started teaching at Mercy College, he was given the Freshman Seminar writing class. The Hudson River School was one of the topics.
Masquers, At least our flight from hell was a little better to deal with than some of the flight patterns I have been reading. Our original flight plan was NY-Chicago-Seattle-Anchorage.
I just hope none of youse travelling has to be grounded and spend a night in the Ashtray Motel.
BTW, Masquers, my dear friend, you have lovely manners!
2:32 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Masquers, ditto to what Rose said.
2:38 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Masquers: Ditto, again. Perhaps mom won’t have to be the Sea-Tac concierge on the 25th. Awaiting a call and/or email from travelopeople. Pulled disabled (Old Fart w/ L2 fracture, healing and diabetes and coronary artery disease) May even have little cart to take us to next gate. And no, he’s not dropping dead tomorrow.
2:51 pm on October 3rd, 2013
HOH – you go, girlfriend! If you have someone you are communicating with, you can whine, wheedle, cajole and or bully.
We’re rooting for you! Woo hooo.
3:01 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Hello All,
I just thought I’d post an update on the snowhook team’s progress. Even though it’s early in the season yet the team is working together as if its January. They are also already running up tp 30 mile runs a day and by the end of October we expect to have about 800 four wheeler miles on them. Which is to say they’ve pulled a four wheeler that far. Knock on wood but they look good!
This is a direct reflection of your support of the team. Thank you!
3:05 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Thanks for the update AJ. This is exciting! GO SNOWHOOK!!!
3:11 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Woowzer, yippie, yahoo! Go Snowhook!
3:12 pm on October 3rd, 2013
AJ, that is wonderful news. Hurrah for the whole Snowhook team!
Had an interesting conversation with the receptionist at the liver doc’s office. I called in to see if there were any results yet.
Office: We usually don’t get the results for 5 to 7 days.
Me: Oh, okay. That’s not what the procedure doc told me.
Office: What did he say?
Me: That I would get my results within 3 to 5 days.
Office: (Reasons .. reasons . . reasons . .)
Me: Okay. I just don’t want to wait.
Office: Why did you have the procedure?
Me: To see if I have cancer.
Office: OH MY DOG (but she didn’t say DOG) I am so sorry. That’s different. Let me get you on the computer. Oh, the computer is slow. I am so sorry . .
Me: I’m used to computers being slow.
Office: But you need to have this information as soon as possible. Okay, here we go . .
(Takes my info, she can’t see my medical record)
Office: I am going to write the doctor’s nurse. (typing is heard) If the info is here it will go to the doctor as soon as possible. I want you to check back tomorrow if you don’t hear today. They will at least know what is going on. I am so sorry . . Yadda, yadda
Me: Thanks.
3:12 pm on October 3rd, 2013
I just find that hysterical. Snort!
3:15 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Awwww…thanks youse guys…but it takes one
to know one.
HOH: (Wine) and whining is good. Flying east to go west is like flying south to go north. Our rescue offer stands no matter what.
Thanks, AJ, this is great news!
I have a feeling there is a good reason so many Plunderers are making the long trek North to Alaska this year ^..^
3:22 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Melanie: I know waiting is the hard part. At least now you know things will get rolling. Sending lots LOve and Pawsitive thoughts your way.
3:23 pm on October 3rd, 2013
A.J., Thanks so much for the update. I will be rooting my loudest for Snowhook, right here in front of my big screen t.v.
Melanie, beautiful photos. Can I come visit? I know Kat has probably soured you on Oley Howlers, but i am so much gentler. Honest.
btw, i am waiting to hear what your doc tells you.
3:31 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Whoooooooohoooo!
That is fantastic! Is Junior slated to run the race again, and will any of the detectives be running?
3:33 pm on October 3rd, 2013
AJ: Yay!
I was to get my furniture and stuff delivered to my new house tomorrow. I was called 30 minutes ago and they will be able to deliver it within the hour. Frantically moving stuff to clear areas. Yeep!
Those of you who renewed expired passports…what is the process? Do you start all over with an original birth certificate? Mine is somewhere in a box. My passport expired 6 months ago. I am hoping to just be able to show them my expired passport and take it from there–new photo needed, of course.
3:35 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Melanie, good thoughts and big love going your way.
The only passport I have is the Plunderer passport. Will I have to renew it?
3:36 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Maybe helpful?
http://travel.state.gov/passport/renew/renew_833.html
3:43 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Rose: Yes, very helpful
CHobbit: If your expired passport is less than 15 years old you will not have to start from scratch. Passports expire after 5 years but here is an additional 10 year grace period to renew.
Good news about the furniture move!
3:46 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Rose: We may have to renew our Plunderer passports after they are filled (a lovely thought).
4:01 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Masquers, those headed to Alaska will have passports that will need immediate renewal. :^)
4:15 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Lovely pictures Melanie. We went back and enlarged them and they did look even better.
We have not ordered tickets yet, have to wait a bit to see if the stock market comes back. Losses in the last two week, and this week with all the yahoos in Washington, it is down even more.
There was just a shooting in D.C. A women rammed the White House gate, then backed up and hit a surrounding police car, before trying to get away. Then gunfire was exchanged and she was shot and killed. There was a kid in the car too. Dog, I hope it wasn’t an innocent person who had an accident and then panicked!
4:17 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Everyone is complementing each other on manners and notice there is no mention of either Rio or Beau. Heh heh
Movers arrived in time to lay down plastic and then go have lunch {{sigh}}}. I guess I might try and walk Sadie. Otherwise she is closed up in the car as the house is wide open
4:21 pm on October 3rd, 2013
C.Hobbit, LOL! I am sure Rio will have something to say about that!
Good luck with all the moving!
4:23 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Question for Dawson. You said the man of the house is from the far north. Did you mean Michigan? Is that why he is a fan of the Detroit sports teams? Or did you mean far north Canada?
4:57 pm on October 3rd, 2013
AJ: Great to hear the positive update.
Barb&Maggie: This man is NO fan of Detroit! He hates Detroit. Detroit is the traditional rival of the Chicago Blackhawks. That’s his team.
4:58 pm on October 3rd, 2013
B&M: Far North Canada.
5:04 pm on October 3rd, 2013
OK, we are confused. Last night didn’t you say “Go Detroit”?
5:20 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Dawson, We knew we were not losing it. Last night you were “gloating” that Detroit was ahead of Buffalo 2-0, then you said the Detroit Tigers were first in their division, then you said Go Detroit. That is why we assumed you were Detroit fans!
Are you a fan but your husband is not?
5:54 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Non-update….new flight schedule…Chatta to Charlotte to Phoenix to Anchorage. Don’t leave till 10 am…Oops, never mind, one important leg of trip is booked. GAH! This is so fun mom could doodle in her drawers, splort, slpat, and grunt! Don’t know how much more polite is left.
6:04 pm on October 3rd, 2013
I think Dawson was gloating against poor little me and Mollypop’s mom. Detroit was beating the Sabres.
6:10 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Now Ah am just a country genelman, but Ah shore do see some might pretty manners on this heah blog. Even ifn Brother Rio does have an unfortunate tendancy to let slip a snort and a burp now and again.
And thank you kindly Miz Melanie. Mah dear sweet mama tole me that ifn Ah wasn’t handsome or rich, Ah could still go far ifn Ah minded mah manners and treated the wimmenfolk like ladies.
6:21 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Redbone Hound: Your manners are as smooth as branch water in the spring.
T&G’s Mama: Perhaps your heat & solar panel guys & our travelopeolpe could start a business and call it, “We Can Mess Anything Up”.
6:46 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Sounds like a good business . . snicker
You are welcome, Mr. Redbone Hound.
I talked to the doc’s nurse. I will not hear anything until Monday or Tuesday. ZoĆ« is convinced they have lost all the samples. sigh
She likes the docs, just not the hospital.
I’ll be headed upstairs soon. Weird that it is 6:45 and it’s almost dark.
7:00 pm on October 3rd, 2013
I’m back! Mom and I arrived home an hour ago. She is worried that i didn’t eat much of my dinner, but what she does not know is that the people at the Special Place fed me all day long. The food was so darn good down there that i even chewed up the bowl, and then i chewed up my kennel card! I have never done anything like that in my life. It is just that those people coddle me so much, I get rather excited.
When mom and i got home, there was a package here, all the way from Canada, and Surprise! It was not from anyone on this here blog!
Why don’t I read my name in the list of Gentlemen on this blog? Dima Dima Dima! I am nothing, if not a Gentleman.
7:05 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Just heard from Golinka and The Storyteller. They have HOT water!
Now they are on the way to the not Orange store to get things for more jobs that need to get fixed. Hopefully, the jobs are not C. Hobbit size jobs.
The Royals will be back tomorrow or LATE tonight.
Woof! *
Translated as Hello and Goodbye in Corgi speak.
7:44 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Another call from the travelopeople. Back to square…2. Will get to Sea-Tac @ noon. Will be released from travel h e l l at 9:10 p.m so guess I will be the airport concierge for any Plunderers passing that way on the 25th of Groundhog month. We’ll stay in touch as we get closer. Rio: Will you be the flight tracker again this year?
7:45 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Oh, Melanie. I know how hard it is to wait. Thinking of you. And Zoe and the Pack.
Sea-Tac is one honking big airport. The parental units have been through it. There are many shops and restaurants and even a quiet area. There will be Plunderer reunions in February. Yay!
8:01 pm on October 3rd, 2013
RIO! Just want to say I miss you on this blog. I get up very early to go to my busy place, so I am in dreamland way before you are on the blog. I will try and stay up late this weekend so I can blog with you! However, when I get up in the morning, I do read the blog again. Sometimes you make me lol!
8:03 pm on October 3rd, 2013
With so many Plunderers loose in Alaska for the Iditarod, I hope someone brings a camera!
8:05 pm on October 3rd, 2013
We think Rio is upset with us for being early birds. Hopefully he will be back on tonight before we go to bed.
Looks like Melanie is almost ready to say goodnight.
8:12 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Manners!….What processed youse to talk about Manners of all things? Totally overrated in my opinion …sniff!
HOH!…NO! In answer to your very first question…grunt!
8:18 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Oh Rio: We’ve been waiting all day to hear from your cheerful snorting, grunting self and now you turn down our kind offer? We would even pretend to be interested in football.
8:28 pm on October 3rd, 2013
HOH!…No!
8:31 pm on October 3rd, 2013
HOH (whispering) It is baseball not football.
Which reminds me…GO BOSTON tomorrow! All the way to the World Series!
8:34 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Passports!….Hey, my friend is going to be so relieved that she has 15 years to renew her passport without starting over…whew!…That is high on her list of things that have to be done this year by golly…sniff!
8:35 pm on October 3rd, 2013
SiberH!…I am rooting for The Nationals vs The Dodgers…heh!heh!…Never the Red Sox. They beat us out of a World Series title in 2007 and I still have not forgiven them..wheeze!
8:36 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Pirates!…I also have a soft spot for the Pirates doing really well this year…sniff!…So that’s another team I will be watching…heh!
8:40 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Rio, I have forgiven Boston. (mostly) I thought I would cheer for OFA’s team because the Rockies were never in and the Rangers are out.
8:41 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Siber- Mr.H (softly) Thanks for the warning.
We would say mom remembers the Dodgers moving to Chavez Ravine from Brooklyn, but Rio probably upset a certain puglet.
8:44 pm on October 3rd, 2013
GAH! How do we otter corked this/ Should say : bit it would probably upset a certain puglet. Yes, Rio?
8:48 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Giant!….WOOOOOO!….Did youse guys all read AJās Team Report??!….snort!snort!….What amazing news! AJ does not just post willy-nilly on this here blog, so he must be very VERY Excited about the team and what they are going to do come Race Seasonā¦.Wow! Wow!
HOH!…This is why, NO! is the answer…sniff!…Your posts are total nonsense when I read them…grunt!…No pun intended…heh!
8:54 pm on October 3rd, 2013
OK, Rio. We quit trying to be nice for now. Are you going to do the flight tracking for the “North to Alaska” gang?
8:59 pm on October 3rd, 2013
HOH!…Yes!…sniff!…Maskers and I will tag-team…heh!
9:02 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Maskers!….The Flight Tracker Expert will have to send me some links though…sniff!….To get the ball rollin’…chorkel!
Update!…My friend came home very happy again for the 4th night in a row…snorkel!….The new job is extremely satisfying to her and she says there is a lot to learn, but is hearing lots of good feed-back on her progress so far…chuffle!….Life is good again….sigh!burp!
9:04 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Rio, the whole manners discussion started because Barb’s 14 year old granddaughter said her date for the home coming (her first) is from the south so he has manners. Barb thought that was a funny comment so we posted it. Seems to have ruffled some northern feathers or fur.
9:05 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Melanie, Next week is too long to wait. Wish you had said tomorrow.
9:06 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Rio, That is very good news about your friend. I am so glad she got out of that last job.

I watched the rest of Broadchurch. The acting was superb but I think that the story could have been told in, say, four episodes rather than eight.

Melanie!…Why do we have to wait till next week to find out about Melanie and her liver?…grump!…That is far too long…wheeze!
9:16 pm on October 3rd, 2013
B&M: Lots of Dr.s like the “Hurry up and wait” technique.
Rio’s glad your friend is having a good week at the new job.
9:19 pm on October 3rd, 2013
HOH: keep checking flights closer to date of departure. Airlines always hold back seats and release them late. Maybe you can do some changes then.
Movers left, now my work begins
I hadn’t eaten since 9am so went to Applebee’s near my house. First time at an Applebee’s. Anchorage is full of fiesta.
Melanie: so hard to wait. We will be holding our breath (not really but you get the idea)
Rio: hi!
9:29 pm on October 3rd, 2013
CHobbit!….grunt! Hi!…Seems you and my friend are very busy and no one has time for hanging out with me anymore…sniff!…Oh well, I have the baseball play-offs to attend to these days and nights…grunt!
9:35 pm on October 3rd, 2013
I totally agree with all of youse. Waiting is carpola.
Riƶ, I am happy for your friend. Excellent news.
I left a post on Facebookie asking AJ if the team had signed up for the Knik.
The Pack had a great day. Their friend, Sam, came to see them, and they played run the fence line. Lots of barking, and running, and barking. When Sam left it was time for a dip in the pool. Naps were big,and so was keeping an eye on Zoƫ.
It is that time again. Have fun night owls!

Ah, October Madness! The boys of summer are almost done and glad Rio will have something to do.
9:40 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Newfs!…Sounds like they had a big ole droolin’ good time today…heh!heh!…What’s up with Zoe? Why is Melanie keeping an Eye On Her?…sniff!…I sure hope she is feeling well and doing fine this nice October day…wheeze!
9:46 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Boyz!…I would just like to see my boyz of summer become Boyz of Fall again…grunt!…It is so hard waiting for Next Year every Fall…sniffle!
9:56 pm on October 3rd, 2013
We stayed on a little longer so Rio wouldn’t get mad at us, but now it is time to say good night. Parenthood, Barb’s fav., is coming on in 4 minutes then it is off to slumber land. Night all.
9:56 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Catchy theme for a song…after the boys of summer have gone.
10:00 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Barb!…We here are fans of Parenthood too…snort!…It’s gearing up to be a great season of episodes again…heh!
10:08 pm on October 3rd, 2013
I just got back from quilt club…so Hi everyone and esp. the grumpy pug.
I think the Newfs are keeping an eye on Zoe. She is their pack leader you know. Melanie did not say it was her keeping eyes on Zoe. (I don’t think I was reading every other word.)
10:09 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Rio, look at the bright side (if that is possible). Tomorrow is Friday and more people will stay up to talk with you, and now it is only 7 PDT and 6 ADT.
10:13 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Eyes!…Oh, Staff maybe you are right and the Newfs were keeping their sleeping nap eyes on Zoe…heh!heh!….This is a relief as I was beginning to worry about Zoe for some reason…wuffle!…It’s not enough I have to worry about Melanie, then you throw in Zoe and everyone’s Alaskan flight schedules and it all gets to be a little over-whelming…grunt!
10:13 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Riƶ: Ready to join you for flight tracking come February!
Good to hear your friend is happy in her new job and closer to home too.
B: Broadchurch will have a second season?
10:18 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Hope OFA’s final visit of this tour was successful and no tomatoes were involved (so far, so good).
10:21 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Broadchurch!….Second season?…sniff!…I am catching up on episodes, not sure if there will be a second season or not. The way I read Stover’s post was that it ended and it could have been wrapped up a lot sooner…grunt!
10:51 pm on October 3rd, 2013
Rebecca and/AJ: check your SDD
How do I post a photo using my iPad? I emailed a photo to myself from my phone and opened it on my iPad. I clicked on “save image” but now I don’t know where the image is to post it. Gah. It didn’t ask me where I wanted to save it
10:57 pm on October 3rd, 2013
CHobbit!…All the iPaw guys are in bed…sniff!…You just got me and I have 4 paws but none of them are iPaws…heh!heh!
11:00 pm on October 3rd, 2013

CHobbit: If you took the foto and it is in your “Photos” folder, just click the “Choose File” below. It will say “Take photo or Video” or “Existing”. Click “existing”. Look for the foto you want, tap it and wait while electronic wonderland does the rest. I Still don’t know how to post a link. That is for the experts š
