Greetings!
I do believe the Snowhook Dogs eat fish heads, chicken skins, and hunks of beef.
Paleo diet for me, not so much.
Everyone have a wonderfluffed Wednesday.
8:15 am on May 28th, 2014
Leo and Mia are beautiful.
Good morning all.
8:17 am on May 28th, 2014
Good morning, everyone! Ah, diet debates continue. Raw, home made, kibble, people food or no? Just like 2 leggers with carbs/protiens, carnivore, vegetarian, vegan. Perhaps the answers lies in all things in moderation.
And speaking of food: a vulture boards a plane carrying 2 dead raccoons. The stewardess says to him, “I’m sorry sir, only one carrion per passenger.”
Have a windblown Wednesday.
8:19 am on May 28th, 2014
Good morning all–I’m now caught up and off to meditate. the Choctaw website is really interesting and impressive. Mopping floors (today’s activity) not so much. Be well, all.
8:20 am on May 28th, 2014
HOH, snicker.
8:33 am on May 28th, 2014
I see baby Kat up top.
Head shrinking day today.
BooBear, I read your post last night. Please don’t ever forget I think of you, your mom, and your dad always.
Thinking on Zoe, my sister ML, Gilly ( I hope your Royal bum has recovered), Gramps, Royal Mum, Storyteller, the Pixie, Garcia, and any of this blog family who may be under the quilt.
8:33 am on May 28th, 2014
Good morning, All.
Only one carrion. heh heh!
Diet Schmiet. We do moderation. For every critter, we eat a bowl of kibble. That is how we roll here.
Leo and Mia are awesome.
8:34 am on May 28th, 2014
Good morning all. We are back to winter weather here.
You can keep that paleo diet for dawgs. Just keep giving me all the good stuff along with cottage cheese and dishes of cream.
And catnip. Lots of catnip.
8:52 am on May 28th, 2014
Wose, I am getting Wonderfluffed today. How did you know?
9:04 am on May 28th, 2014
I want more of that Paleo diet. Mommy feeds me dry old kibble and she says that it is venison and sweet potato. I’m not sure about the venison part. I don’t taste the meat. Mommy always shares a little bit of her dinner with me so yesterday I did have chicken and carrots added to the dry old kibble.
9:17 am on May 28th, 2014
We here believe in moderation. Barb’s son Josh does Paleo, but it is so restrictive. We like dairy, whole grain crunchy breads and potatoes and brown rice. We just try to eat real foods and organic as much as possible. As far as my kibble, we stay away from corn and soy.
We did get hit with that cold snap here, 70 will be the high for the day.
9:39 am on May 28th, 2014
The ‘maters here are getting to be a lighter green…can red be far behind? Some of the volunteer sunflowers are beginning to head. NO lilacs this year 🙁
Mom and DDD are off to a nice lunch with the boys then a rousing game of scrabble at their house with the broken AC. Mom said she is looking forward to that like a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Doesn’t sound like fun to us.

Admin! Spammer alert!
10:19 am on May 28th, 2014
Molly’sMom: Maybe because all I did yesterday was say how horrible my hair looked, and it needs to be wonderfluffed too!
LouLou, Do you get an egg on Sunday? I love meat, yes I do, but it needs to be cooked. Yesterday, we here had lamb chops and asparagus.
After a yucky, hot, humidity filled day yesterday, we are back to light jacket weather.
10:33 am on May 28th, 2014
Oh my – Maya Angelou has left this world.
Sob
10:35 am on May 28th, 2014
B&M,
Paleo is as restrictive as you make it. The most important thing in our plan is to avoid bread and pasta. Potatoes we used to buy by the bag – now it is the occasional one to go with a steak. Our motto is that if the list of ingredients reads like a failed chemistry experiment, you don’t want it in your body.
11:01 am on May 28th, 2014
Die-t! We here agree with the food in moderation theory (except BSD).
Terry: Lol!
11:01 am on May 28th, 2014
Sob.
11:10 am on May 28th, 2014
Maya Angelo. Oh, no!
11:42 am on May 28th, 2014
We love Maya Angelo. May she rest in peace. She was 86, so she had a full life.
11:43 am on May 28th, 2014
Wose says Wonderfluffed…the Hounds say Windblown…let us hope the later comes before the former. Lol.
Barb&Magpie: 70? Cooling off?
MollyPop’s Mom: Spammer?
It must be Past Breakfast Time. My brain is in fuzzy mode.
11:46 am on May 28th, 2014
Staff, Love the picture of the baby woodchuck. We sent it on the Josh and Jess. That was probably the guilty party at their house. We are hesitant to ask what became of the one eating your peas. Our sugar snaps will be blooming in a few days.
Terry, We do not eat any science projects, but an organic potato doesn’t seem bad.
Does anyone have an especially good idea for baby kale, either cooked or in a salad?
11:48 am on May 28th, 2014
BSD, Yes, we had a 15-20 degree drop in temp, but it will be back to mid 80s by the weekend.
12:01 pm on May 28th, 2014
Today at the store mom bought those Nathan’s little hot dogs in rolls and chili cheese Fritos…more healthy eating she has learned from this blog.
Mom says, No, to the raw food diet for dogs.
Barb, Sorry, those are our lower temperatures that went through here a couple of days ago. I would take them back but mom wouldn’t.
12:29 pm on May 28th, 2014
Like Terry, I pretty much follow a Paleo diet too. Once I couldn’t have gluten, anything that replaced it did not taste as good so this was easy to do. There are some things like rolls for a hamburger or bread for a sandwich that I still eat. My diet is ruled by my blood glucose meter. If I have taken in too many carbs then my blood glucose fasting level in the morning will be over 100. That is called prediabetic. My goal is to keep it between 85 and 99.
Bear, the spam was removed by admin.
12:58 pm on May 28th, 2014
Admin!…He must be on his toes today…snort!
1:06 pm on May 28th, 2014
Wow! We just watched a Sneak Preview on AMC called Halt & Catch Fire. The actual premiere of the show is this Sunday.
MollyPop’s Mom, and those of youse interested in computers, we think you would really like it.
Nana has always regretted not continuing her computer education back in the Sixties. It would have been a whole different world.
We here did not know the Paleo Diet could be Less Restrictive.
There is a company that specializes in these products which we have yet to try. The bread is supposed to be tasty and has 1 carb. As the wrong carbs are the villain here, it Sounds Promising.
1:10 pm on May 28th, 2014
Siber-H: Nathan Hot Dogs, along with Hebrew Nationals are the Best! I didn’t know the little dogs in buns were available in stores…will definitely want to check this out.
1:11 pm on May 28th, 2014
Riö: Admin…now you see it, now you don’t…exactly what we were thinking!
1:17 pm on May 28th, 2014
Maskers!…Speaking of seeing something – have you checked your little Go-Phone lately?…snort!
1:25 pm on May 28th, 2014
Bear, The little Nathan hot dogs in buns are to be found in the frozen food section. I learned this from Rio’ friend, and we all know where I learned about chili cheese Fritos.
1:28 pm on May 28th, 2014
Riö: Got it!
1:42 pm on May 28th, 2014
Siber-H: Speaking of chili cheese Fritos…have you ever had
Chili Cheese Fries? Delish!
For a healthier option you can use homemade chili and make your own fries with red potatoes and olive oil.
Is it time for lunch yet?
1:47 pm on May 28th, 2014
Bear! Do not let Nana near those little buns or the fritos or the fries! Sugar sugar sugar
1:48 pm on May 28th, 2014
Here is a link about Maya Angelou:

1:50 pm on May 28th, 2014
Bear, Yum, No I have never had chili cheese fries. I will sneak those onto mom’s grocery list. You know how two-leggeds go into a sort of shopping trance at the grocery store.
1:55 pm on May 28th, 2014
O’Howlers: Sadly, Nana has not had any of these Most Wonderful of Dishes in many moons. Sob.
She is finding that most things In Moderation is good advice though. White Bread & Pasta are no-nos.
Siber-H: Years ago we discovered those yummy Chili Cheese Fries at a Mexican fast-food stand near our house in So. Cal.
2:11 pm on May 28th, 2014
Nana, Who’s a Good Girl?
2:29 pm on May 28th, 2014
Mama Meash: 🙂
2:33 pm on May 28th, 2014
Miss Maya! Oh no!
2:50 pm on May 28th, 2014
Home!….My friend is Home!Home!Home!…snort!…She says she will be coming home at noon till her mother gets back…wheeze!…She says it is because of us, but I know she just wants to spend as much time doing whatever she pleases while the Kat is Away…chuffle!
2:53 pm on May 28th, 2014
Doing!…Like right now she just did some dishes….hmmmm..
3:10 pm on May 28th, 2014
Baseball!…Hey! There is a Rockies game on…snort!snort!…We are actually watching a game during the week. So long little headphones!…..Woooooo!
3:14 pm on May 28th, 2014
Fooled!…They are replaying yesterdays game…grunt!…I thought it looked familiar…sniff!…The good news is todays game starts at 5:00….snort!
3:30 pm on May 28th, 2014
Rio, all baseball games (and everything else) will look better on your new cool flat screen t.v.
Momma is taking me me me for a ride to a dog training place. hmmmm
3:53 pm on May 28th, 2014
Good Luck, Kat
4:00 pm on May 28th, 2014
Kat: Dog Training Place? What’s up with that?
4:11 pm on May 28th, 2014
Siber-H: Gah! I’ve misplaced/lost your SDD. Please send it to me at BearSpiritDogataoldotcome.
4:12 pm on May 28th, 2014
BearSpiritDogataoldotcom.
4:43 pm on May 28th, 2014
ok Bear, I’ll get right on it.
4:53 pm on May 28th, 2014
LOL
I should be wishing the dog trainer good luck instead of Kat.
5:03 pm on May 28th, 2014
Kat: Aren’t you purrfect just the way you are?
5:03 pm on May 28th, 2014
Mom came home from big day out to hear Maya Angelou news 🙁 and to find Lucy Lou wit possible kennel cough 🙁 🙁 Waiting to hear about antibiotics. What a day!
5:05 pm on May 28th, 2014
At least we are not #51. Waiting to hear about Lucy Lou meds….
5:17 pm on May 28th, 2014
Lucy Lou: Paws Crossed for You!
5:25 pm on May 28th, 2014
HOH, Let us know when you find out. Paws crossed.
5:34 pm on May 28th, 2014
Up Top: Cotton from Venezuela & Ziva from Belgium.
We sure would like to hear from some of these International Members of the Nation Within.
Which reminders me…we haven’t heard from LizF & Ruby in a while.
Hi to Youse from Bear.
5:48 pm on May 28th, 2014
6:12 pm on May 28th, 2014
Bear, good one!
6:14 pm on May 28th, 2014
I hope Lucy Lou gets better fast. Oh yes I do.
Of course I am purrfect! Turns out that Momma just took me along to help her evaluate the training place. It is Zeus that needs some work (though I think he is purrfect too). Momma was worried after the initial meeting with Tundra. Also, he is uncontrollable on leash. She says she needs to get an evaluation so he can hopefully go to Pints for Pups with us. This place was great. It is in an old converted barn, and most of the staff worked at the Humane Society. The owner is going to meet Zeus for a private evaluation and lesson. Sooner or later he will get to meet other dogs and play in their super dog park. (Whispering) I met him in a big dog yard with lots of dogs, including Tundra, so I’m a little confused. The woman who we talked to said that an unneutered male arriving at Zeus’ new home with Zeus on a leash would be expected to stress my guy out. But Mom wants to be sure about things.
6:25 pm on May 28th, 2014
Lucy Lou here, GAH, youse should see these horse pills they want me to take just because I coughed a little. Well, if mom gives me treats, I might take them without a war.
6:26 pm on May 28th, 2014
My goal is to get a slurpy pug kiss by the end of the week. This is my goal and I don’t care who knows it.
6:55 pm on May 28th, 2014
Rio, here’s a better picture.
6:58 pm on May 28th, 2014
6:59 pm on May 28th, 2014
Staff: I am grabbing the postman’s pant leg. I am tracking the package. It is due June 3.
6:59 pm on May 28th, 2014
Oops.
7:23 pm on May 28th, 2014
MPM. Oops, that is beautiful! All we can say is that the POP has some green feathers for y’all.
7:28 pm on May 28th, 2014
Awww Lucy Lou – we know all about those horse pills. Hope the treaties are compensatory.
BSD – we love that cartoon. Is the author a retired English prof with the initials BS?
7:50 pm on May 28th, 2014
Lucy Lou, if you don’t get those treats to take your pills, remember Mama Meash, Attorney at Dog.
7:52 pm on May 28th, 2014
Well, it’s do or die time for the Chicago Blackhawks. The game starts in a few minutes and they are down three games to one against the LA Kings.
8:14 pm on May 28th, 2014
MPM, I think they came back from a 3-1 lead last year, but the odds are really against them. Let’s keep paws crossed.
Your second pic is much better, and the piece is lovely.
8:14 pm on May 28th, 2014
Hawks scored right away! I hope this is a good sign for the rest of the game.
8:18 pm on May 28th, 2014
I don’t like Hawks.
Especially hawks with red tails.
No I do not.
8:18 pm on May 28th, 2014
Hawks just scored again! Do I dare get my hopes up?
8:20 pm on May 28th, 2014
Fernie Sweetheart, doesn’t your hencoop have netting across the top? Your ‘rents won’t let anything happen to you.
8:27 pm on May 28th, 2014
Fernie, sweetie, listen to the ‘rents. Everything will be AOK.
8:51 pm on May 28th, 2014
MollysMaw!…Now we’re talking photo!…snort!
8:53 pm on May 28th, 2014
First period is over and five goals had been scored. Hawks 3 to 2. Patrick Kane just set a record for most assists in a period.
8:57 pm on May 28th, 2014
For the newcomers to the blog, the feathers that I finally showed good pictures of we’re done by the Royal’s Mum. The bottom feather, which has a Dreamcatcher in it, I won in one of our Snowhook auctions. Then I had the Royal’s Mum put the rest of it together for me and it is a thing of beauty and joy forever.
9:24 pm on May 28th, 2014
We saw the beautiful snichke. Remember we, the POP have goregeous green feathers for all to envy.
9:26 pm on May 28th, 2014
P.S. Nice stuff MPM.
9:31 pm on May 28th, 2014
It would make us too nervous to watch the game, so keep us posted, MPM. We of course want the Hawks to win, and not those rotten Kings.
9:31 pm on May 28th, 2014
MPM: That makes a huge difference. What a beautiful piece!
(as all of Amalia’s creations are).
9:33 pm on May 28th, 2014
Game!…The Rockies and The Phillies are tied 2 ta 2 right now…snort!
9:34 pm on May 28th, 2014
Are y’all gonna listen to these ridiculous birds? We think y’all need to pay attention to MPM. Now there is a lady!
9:36 pm on May 28th, 2014
Rio, know it is not time for sloppy kisses, BUT listen…give the kisses where they are due.
9:37 pm on May 28th, 2014
Parrots, I have some pictures for you to look at. However, I am going to bed now. Chicago Blackhawks or not. I will find out tomorrow. And I will also show you some pictures.
10:03 pm on May 28th, 2014
Rio: smooches!
Look who got her own Mr. Carrot today along with $50 of other toys at Petco. Is she spoiled or what (1 toy has already bit the dust)
10:13 pm on May 28th, 2014
Well Mr. Carrot has squawked its last squeak even though Sadie still is carrying it around. How does she de-squeak them so fast?
10:14 pm on May 28th, 2014
Barb and Maggie, Here is a recipe for Kale Chips. They really do get crispy. Try a few first. I think they are an acquired taste. A Catty Librarian and her daughter really like them. Me, not so much.
1 bunch kale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a non insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper.
With a knife or kitchen shears carefully remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces. Wash and thoroughly dry kale with a salad spinner. Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning salt.
Bake until the edges brown but are not burnt, 10 to 15 minutes.
10:15 pm on May 28th, 2014
Sadie – who’s a good anti-squeek dog?
10:19 pm on May 28th, 2014
Game!….Rockies miraculously take the lead by one point. Can they hold it?….Yeeeeep!
Sadie!…Who’s a rip-roarin’ Girl?…snorkel!
10:21 pm on May 28th, 2014
Sadie Bear, Looking Good!
10:25 pm on May 28th, 2014
Rio: Hold still. The time draws nigh.
10:26 pm on May 28th, 2014
Sadie looks really happy with her Mr.Carrot. Who knew these toys would be so popular. And effective!
Had to go to the big city again today. Dr.s appointment and the car also had an appt. So now the car has a new alternator and a new belt tensioner (whatever the heck that is) and I have been informed that the ‘little’ hernia I had last fall is now a huge hernia.
grump.
Supposedly they are safer than tiny ones but now I am told it might be too big to operate on. Grump. Last fall it was so small we would just ‘watch it’. Huh. A lot of good that did.
So on Friday I get to have a CT scan and then next week meet with Dr Mistri, the transplant surgeon, to see if he thinks it can be operated on. Sigh.
However I might have to see a different surgeon if Dr. Mistri thinks he would do a better job.
GAH
On the garden front we have been invaded by invisible bugs that make a icky itchy bloody wound on your skin. Then it swells up and gets hot. Not a lot of fun in the garden for a while. snort
Could it be chiggers?
10:31 pm on May 28th, 2014
Staff: I just restocked the snacks under the Quilt. Help yourself.
10:37 pm on May 28th, 2014
Staff, Good luck with that hernia situation.
Kelly was just telling us earlier today to make Kale chips. Guess we will have to try then.
Night all.
10:38 pm on May 28th, 2014
Thanks Tenzing. I might just do that. I think I need something from the orange food group. Got any spare cheetos at the snack bar?
I could use a little orange tonight.
10:38 pm on May 28th, 2014
Night Barb and Maggie.
10:39 pm on May 28th, 2014
Staff: What is your poison—crunchy orange or hot orange? We have both.
10:40 pm on May 28th, 2014
Rrrriiiiioooo!
11:02 pm on May 28th, 2014
Staff – chili cheese Frito’s are orange too. Not neon, but good enough to qualify.
We are symbolically patting your paw from a distance.
11:19 pm on May 28th, 2014
Staff, we are grumping with you. We will also eat orange in solidarity.
Prayers needed for Mom’s brother. She just found out he has been having “issues” since Thursday. She spoke to him on Saturday and he sounded fine, and just kept talking about their great fly-fishing trip to Maine with her sister’s family. Now we learned he had bad pain in a wrist that was diagnosed as tendinitis, then gout, until it spread to the other wrist. Now it is affecting both knees and he is unable to walk. They think it is an infection in his heart. He is in Emergency yet, and they are awaiting results from a Kat scan. He is getting heavy antibiotics pumped in.
11:21 pm on May 28th, 2014
Annabellie!….You did it!..Big SMOOOCHIE coming your way girlie!…Slurp! Slobber! Snort!…Now, I will meet you here again tomorrow night!….wheeze!whuffle!fart!
11:22 pm on May 28th, 2014
Staff: Orange you glad the Quilt has a well stocked Snack Bar….Thanks to Tenzing…Hugs for you.
11:24 pm on May 28th, 2014
Geeze!…Howlers!…That sounds seriously bad…gah!…Do they think he picked up a nasty virus in Maine while fishing?…wheeze!
11:24 pm on May 28th, 2014
Crunchy please. It is the only way to go.
O’Howlers. What a scary thing for your brother. Hope they get it figured out soon.
We are having a good time under the quilt. Tenzing is playing poker again. You should see how he came in to the game. A harness, a collar, a really nice black and gray dog coat and 4 green booties. snicker. He claims the 11 tags on his collar all count separately.
11:25 pm on May 28th, 2014
Shoot!…Now we have had a very full day according to my friend who is beat…sniff!…She says bed NOW!…grunt!…So long everybody, talk to youse tomorrow…wheeze!…Especially you there Annabellie!…heheh!
11:28 pm on May 28th, 2014
Tenzing, do you want to bother Sasha’s thunder shirt?
We are all scarit about Mom’s brother. The horrible thing is the way Mom got the news was via a text as she was ready to go to bed. She didn’t know she had the messages because the phone was dying and so she plugged it in upstairs, and we were all downstairs trying to catch up on Fargo.
First message said “keep you posted”. wth? !!!
11:28 pm on May 28th, 2014
BORROW not bother. grunt. Can you tell we are all besides ourselves?
11:30 pm on May 28th, 2014
I am taking Mom back to bed. Good night everybody. Good luck, Tenzing.
Staff, we are also very worrit about that there hernia of yours. If it’s not one thing it’s another.
11:32 pm on May 28th, 2014
Me? Is it me?
11:32 pm on May 28th, 2014
Wow, we really forgot the refresh rule.
11:34 pm on May 28th, 2014
O’Howlers: Just read your post! We are so sorry for this bad news via text of all things. Strong Prayers going out for your Mom’s brother. Hoping this is a temporary condition that the antibiotics will take care of and quickly.
Staff: Good Luck with that game! Tenz seems to be well dressed for the occasion.
11:36 pm on May 28th, 2014
ML: Don’t feel bad about the Refreshing or lack of…I just did it myself.
11:36 pm on May 28th, 2014
Howlers, prayers for you uncle.
Staff, yikes. prayers for you too.
We HATE chiggers
nitely noodles
11:38 pm on May 28th, 2014
Hey ML – good to see you here, but we have simply got to go to bed. Been up since 3:45 – long story for another day. But eyes are drooping and brain is fogging.
Goodnight, family. Prayers all around.
11:38 pm on May 28th, 2014
My friend Kandy’s Indigo Blue ‘maters.
11:47 pm on May 28th, 2014
Rio: You had me at Smoochie. You lost me a bit at fart, but regained ground with the last exclamation point.
11:48 pm on May 28th, 2014
ML: That tomato is a thing of beauty!
Going to bed now and will be saying our prayers for all of you who are scared and suffering.
Sending love and hugs too.
11:50 pm on May 28th, 2014
Staff: You live and learn.
Howlers: I will happily borrow the Thundershirt. One can never be too careful when playing cards with one or all of the pretty sisters.
More to Howlers: The Quilt awaits your family. We have orange of every flavor. Prayers for your family and all those who need them.
Nighty noodles.
1:17 am on May 29th, 2014
Thinking of Staff and O’Howlers. Best wishes. Sleep tight (and don’t let the bedbugs bite)
