Chase That Golden Thunder.
Good morning all.
9:24 am on July 10th, 2013
Gooood morning, everyone! Chase, chase all you want over the bridge, that’s what it is about.
We showed mom her idea for today…cotton tails in the yard.
Have a Weal Wio Wednesday, you waskelly wabbit.
9:44 am on July 10th, 2013
It’s moldy, moldy, moldy everywhere here. Nobody feels very well. Mommy has a headache. The rain is supposed to stop finally by tomorrow. It can’t happen too soon for us.
9:46 am on July 10th, 2013
Rain!…What is that?? I forget. It’s been so long since I’ve smelt it…sniff!…Supposed to push 100 degrees here today…grunt!…I’m stayin’ inside.
9:49 am on July 10th, 2013
By the way, Rio, Mom watches (and therefore, we watch)Dancing with the Stars faithfully. Maybe it’s because she is only a very average dancer and has dreams of becoming more graceful. We really don’t care…we just crowd around her and nap!
9:56 am on July 10th, 2013
Morning everyone. Taking a coffee break from our supervisory positions under the work table.
Things are getting done around here, by cracky. Mama works and works and works. And in this heat, dinners are quick affairs of salads or fruit or sandwiches. Gramp actually asked her to make stew the other day. She said no.
Then she went to the Mud Room and banged her head against the wall.
Anyway – stay cool wherever you can.
10:05 am on July 10th, 2013
A Very Sad Photo this morning
The ball, the glove, the bat
But no Golden Thunder
To retrieve.
10:41 am on July 10th, 2013
Good Dog Chase, good Dog.
Now, every Kat’s dream.

R.I.P. Chase.
We got caught out in a rainstorm. We are soaked, but somehow Mom is soaked worse. She said there will be a wet t-shirt contest in 5 minutes!
11:17 am on July 10th, 2013
Macy! What is that cat thinking, letting that goofy puppy all over her?
Oh we just remembered to watch CHobbit’s video for Bellie. Did that dog really get a cat??? We didn’t get to see the cat!
11:18 am on July 10th, 2013
Whoo hoo, can we blur over and join in?
11:29 am on July 10th, 2013
I wonder if my Two-legged will let me get a baby puppy for my baby kitty.
11:33 am on July 10th, 2013
Chase had a dream job, probably got a hold of a baseball or two in his time.
New/Old Friends of Chet.
Luna: How’d you get Belle Starr to wait so patiently for the book? She loves Chet and Bernie that muchI can tell.
Romeo and Bailey: You should come and meet Tupper and Gilly. Do Corgi’s always come in pairs?
A perfect weather day here.
11:36 am on July 10th, 2013
Chase, You will have a Blast.
Macy, Is that Kat’s name Patience?
Hello Everyone
Steamy here and the sun has just come out. Soon to be hot and steamy.
I cranked p the AC and got ten hours of sleep.
Thank Dog
Zoë has her yoga and lunch day. I will be vacuuming the pool when she gets home.
Riö, Thanks for your patience. Expect a SDD in about an hour.
11:37 am on July 10th, 2013
Greetings!
Chase, all dogs go to heaven. R.I.P.
Belle Starr: I look for your post everday too. They make me laugh and happy. Try not to make your two-legged think about too many things at once, since she already has a billion things to think about. Try the kitty first. Bat your eyelashes over your lovely brown eyes, tilt you head, and give her the look that says…”Pretty please, with a cherry on top.”
11:51 am on July 10th, 2013
Hot here and no rain, but still can’t go outside due to blood suckers.
Barb is meeting daughter Shannon for her birthday lunch. One of the gifts she is giving her is the darling kitty placemat that we got in the auction. Arrived from the North Pole recently. Shannon is a total cat person, so she is gonna love it. Josh said “why didn’t you buy four?” We said because it was a one of a kind placemat. Shannon really doesn’t cook, so it will be used as a center piece decoration for her table. Totally adorable!
11:54 am on July 10th, 2013
B&M: Hope Shannon loves the placemat. It is very cute.
T&G: I noticed to very nice looking corgis on FOC this morning. Of course, not as cute or as fun as you.
11:59 am on July 10th, 2013
Thank you Rose.
RIP Chase, you were a beautiful boy. Hope your sons carry on in your foot steps.
Have a wonderful day everyone. BBL
12:40 pm on July 10th, 2013
Wose, Chase was the only 4-legged allowed on the field in Yankee Stadium. Trenton is a Yankee farm team.
12:47 pm on July 10th, 2013
Dawson – Mama always had one Corgi, until Gilly’s sad little face looking through the bars of a cage popped up on her computer screen. She went and got Gilly, and now says that she will always have Corgis in pairs. We are herding dogs and we like to work with our compatriots, so it just makes sense that we are happier having another Corgi around all the time.
She would love to get another Corgi, but we say no unless she can grow another hand to pet with. Right now, Gilly and I have dibs on the two she has.
12:54 pm on July 10th, 2013
T&G: Aren’t ya’ll glad you found such a smart mama?
1:48 pm on July 10th, 2013
Aww – she’s not so smart. After all, she fell for the “poor baby kitties” in a cage when she adopted those Wrotten Kats.
1:49 pm on July 10th, 2013
O’Howlers: That is a great honor. I would love to run the bases at Yankee Stadium. I would even love to go to a game, but tickets are way too much money.
1:57 pm on July 10th, 2013
Pairs!…Pugs are NOT supposed to be paired up…grunt!…Why doesn’t someone here know that?…gruffle!….Makes me so mad I could….phfffftt!
2:07 pm on July 10th, 2013
Pugs should come in threes!
2:16 pm on July 10th, 2013
Chase was a true canine baseball hero. The game of baseball needs more dogs like Chase. Not me, I don’t do ball or bat.
Good Afternoon to everyone but Wolfie and Bear. Good Morning to them.
2:29 pm on July 10th, 2013
T&G: I was wondering because I see a lady walking two Corgi’s close by the house and I ‘ve seen a couple who walk two Corgi’s around the lake.
Rio: There is also a person who walks around with two pugs. One tan, one black.
Oh! I got the second half of the prize in the mail just now. Thank you Pug, it fits perfectly!
I am happy to have been able to donate a few pennies to the Have Harness, Will Travel Fund.
I loved the tribute to CHarris on Snowhook Blog and would like to thank CHarris and all those who sent dog jackets on behalf of the Plunderers, (or tried to locate them without success) with a special shout out to my sister, Staff, who was tenacious/persistent on the telephone tracking down jackets. I know because she dragged me all over town to go pick them up.
2:48 pm on July 10th, 2013
oops, It is still morning for Snowhook also. Good morning to Snowhook.
Thanks to all of you from me and mom who did such an outstanding job of finding the Snowhook doggies new jackets. WOO WOO
2:49 pm on July 10th, 2013
We here would like to pay homage (bowing) to CHobbit and to all of youse who drove all over the place getting those beeautiful jackets. We called the stores anywhere near us with no luck. We even tried a few out of state that were within sort of driving distance. But we drew the line much narrower than you tenacious ones. Thank youse!
Mom is no longer able to keep those chickies in their run. Every time she or Pop open the gate, they get closer to getting out until, just now, with Meashka keeping watch, Fern got out!!! Mom grabbed and threw her back in, and then had a heart attack, and then nursed her scratched up arm. Meashka, meantime, just sat and watched. Patience, Grasshopper.
3:17 pm on July 10th, 2013
I am curtsying in C.Hobbit’s honor, and give a very special thanks to those who went to the corners of the country looking for Snowhook Team Jackets. I am proud to be a member of the supporters of Snowhook team and this here blog.
The Snowhook Dogs will be the best looking of the bunch at Iditarod 2014! Wooooooohooooooo!
Just a little further to go with the Have Harness, Will Travel Fund…..
I am truly grateful to those who have already contributed.
While I’m at it, I will curtsy to HRH, B.
3:19 pm on July 10th, 2013
Can’t wait to see OFM all decked out in his new clothes!
3:33 pm on July 10th, 2013
Oleys, Are they just getting out thru an open gate? What if they fly over the top when your folks are gone? Our fence was 4 feet high, but we had one hen that could get over and was always loose in the back yard.
Barb is back from lunch. She said Shannon loved the placemat. Also gave her a Dunkin Dougnuts gift card, a book, and a set of wiper blades for her car. I know wiper blades are not very glamorous, but she needed a set for her little red Hyundi, which she calls her tomato.
Speaking of tomatoes, we got our first today – no big ones ready yet, just 2 small Yellow Pear tomatoes. Still exciting if you are a tomato junkie.
3:46 pm on July 10th, 2013
Like the Emperor’s new clothes?
3:48 pm on July 10th, 2013
O’Howlers: Have you ever seen the movie “Chicken Run”?
3:52 pm on July 10th, 2013
x Actly
4:05 pm on July 10th, 2013
Barb, there is no top to jump over, darn it. The top of the run has the same metal roof as the coop. Those chicks rush the gate and try their hardest to squeeze out whenever Mom or Pop go in.
We did not see Chicken Run. Should we? Will it give us some good ideas?
4:24 pm on July 10th, 2013
O’Howlers: It may…..it is also a very funny movie. I think the ‘rents will like it too.
4:38 pm on July 10th, 2013
Howlers!….”Patience, Grasshopper”…snort!..funny!
Chicken!…Run is an excellant movie if you like or dislike chickens…chorkel!…It is a classic!…heh!
Barb!…My friend is becoming concerned that she has NO Tomatoes showing up yet…sniff!…Only little yellow flowers…grunt!
4:42 pm on July 10th, 2013
O’Howlers, what if you had another gate outside the first, like a little verstibule?
4:44 pm on July 10th, 2013
Chickens are running?? Can I herd them, huh, huh, can I, huh, huh? I’m a really good herder, really and truly. Come on, let me at em – I’ll herd those chickens so fast they will think they are Olympic runners.
4:49 pm on July 10th, 2013
Howlers!…If your friends would put up mirrors along the chicken coop walls, this would confuse them and they wouldn’t know where the gate was….snort!…Plus, you would have way more chickens…heh!
4:51 pm on July 10th, 2013
Thanks, Princess. Whose side are you on? 🙁
As a matter of fact, we heard them planning something like that. They called an airlock. They have this portable garden fencing they were planning to use later, to extend the run. Well, “later” has become “sooner”. So there will be a fence outside that fence.
Here is what it looks like. We have no way of breaking in there (yet) .
4:58 pm on July 10th, 2013
That is one beautiful coop!!!! Here is another suggestion. Chickens love treats. If you save veggie scraps or bread or have chicken scratch for them, throw a little to the side and call them over (here chick, chick, chick). They will run over to the treats and it will give you time to get in the gate. Might be easier and cheaper than mirrors.
5:02 pm on July 10th, 2013
Barb and MagPie – We’re getting your storm and it’s going to be fierce. All the warnings and crawls on the TV.
5:11 pm on July 10th, 2013
Now I have heard everything….treats for chickens. Gah
Meashka, Keep planning.
5:23 pm on July 10th, 2013
Siber, you don’t know the half of jt. She was taking a little container of grapes in there when the almost-escape happened.
Right now she is sitting on a little stool in that there run, completely ignoring me me me!
5:25 pm on July 10th, 2013
Barb!…You are completely forgetting the advantage of having more chickens with the mirrors…sniff!
5:26 pm on July 10th, 2013
Treats!…Just bag up their poop and let it dry out. Feed it to them the next day and they will think it is a treat…heh!heh!
5:31 pm on July 10th, 2013
B&M: Wow, Are ya’ll smart…chick, chick, chick.
5:33 pm on July 10th, 2013
MPM, Stay safe!
Rio, Your mirror idea is definitely more interesting than treats. The bagged poop, not so much.
Barb’s five chickens (including Peaches), who are living outside Woodstock, still come running when Barb goes over there and calls them. They are much smarter than people give them credit for.
5:42 pm on July 10th, 2013
HOH, Sorta like calling puppy, puppy, puppy. Same effect.
5:44 pm on July 10th, 2013
Barb!…I’m just trying to save the Howlers some unnecessary money spent on Chicken treaties…heh!…In fact Beau’s money is on the Chickens becoming the Treaties one day soon…chorkel!
5:58 pm on July 10th, 2013
You got that right, Rio. I am on a Mission from Dog
Barb, Mom sent you more photos of those %#{#*+% birds.
6:06 pm on July 10th, 2013
Sammie thinks the vestibule on her old house is great. She doesn’t know that that’s why she never gets out on a walkabout.
6:08 pm on July 10th, 2013
Oooh! Let’s see the chickie pictures.
6:44 pm on July 10th, 2013
Fern and Isabelle are a couple of good lookin chicks! Soon to be pullets. And that does NOT mean that you can pull on them!
6:49 pm on July 10th, 2013
7:14 pm on July 10th, 2013
I just got back from meeting a friend for an early dinner. I went to Barnes and Noble and bought a book they recommended via email. (Fin & Lady by Cathleen Schine.) I’ve decided to support B&N so that they don’t go out of business. Soon we may have no more bookstores left.
7:17 pm on July 10th, 2013
Meashka, pssst LUNCH!!!
7:23 pm on July 10th, 2013
Psst – Meashka and Siber -not yet. It’s still just an appetizer.
7:45 pm on July 10th, 2013
Those chicks are so cute!!!!!
7:48 pm on July 10th, 2013
From way back when Chicks were still dinosaurs, I kept a small tin of feed (covered) next to the door. Then I would open the top half of the door and throw it as far back as possible. Entry and Exit much easier. Mirrors? I would probably get lost myself.
I did a great deal today. Most of it on the phone with VW. Trying to add a new cell phone. Jeeze Louise. I finally just hung up. YSAS is going to help me out. He’s going to go to their store and ask a lot of questions.
By the time I was going to get in the pool? Deluge. Don’t have to water the gardens again.
AND, we don’t have to wash out the car for awhile. snicker.
Our dog never bothered the chicks. The goats on the other paw . .
8:04 pm on July 10th, 2013
Looking at Elim rockin’ his new team jacket made me go to the Petco site to look at dog jackets. ‘Nuff said.
8:12 pm on July 10th, 2013
I saw the job jackets at our Petco here in Amherst, but they didn’t come in the giant sled dog size.
8:32 pm on July 10th, 2013
Sammie: The jacket I saw was all black, waterproof, and had a special lining in them. I think they had Snowhook size. Sizing was done by the length of the dog in inches. I also saw a lovely pink dress that Belle Starr might be interested in….
8:34 pm on July 10th, 2013
Time to medicate myself and hit the sheets. Sweet dreams to youse guys.
Good day, Liz!
8:36 pm on July 10th, 2013
CHobbit: Hope your travels were safe, and that you are feeling tip-top.
You too, Tenzing.
8:38 pm on July 10th, 2013
Chic!…Fillet!….snort!…One of our favorite places to get chicken nuggets. When I imagine that little Chick as a Nugget, he looks pretty darn cute and tasty…slobber!…I’m not into all the blood, bones and feathers like SiberH and the Howlers are…gah!….I like my food processed.
8:44 pm on July 10th, 2013
Mmm? Wuz all this about chickens? Pullet surprise< a special dinner, right?
Boomers began here an hour ago, and are continuing, foundation shaking. will be back soooon.
8:52 pm on July 10th, 2013
Wind!…It is the night those guys “get” to water the lawn, but it is so windy that they decided it would just be a waste…sniff!sneeze!…Water is very expensive here and so all this talk of free rain is very unfair…wuffle!….Lightning and thunder are not welcome because of the fire danger…sniff!…Just rain please.
8:55 pm on July 10th, 2013
Ditto to what Ro said about the rain although the blood, bones, and feathers is pretty funny.
9:10 pm on July 10th, 2013
Rio, Do you get to water every other day? Don’t worry about those tomatoes, the fruits follow the yellow flowers.
9:13 pm on July 10th, 2013
Barb!…The fruit has not followed the flowers – that’s the problem I guess…sniff!
Water!…Those guys water on certain specified days, 3 out of a week I believe….wheeze!…There is a huge penalty if they use too much water, like the bill doubles or sumthing…grunt!
9:15 pm on July 10th, 2013
Helpful!…Beau and I try to water as many plants, flowers and chili peppers that we can reach, just to be helpful…snort!snort!
9:20 pm on July 10th, 2013
The ‘rents assembled the vestibule. Next time Princess Sammy gets a bright idea, Aunt MPM needs to take the iPaw away from her.
9:25 pm on July 10th, 2013
Here chick, chick, chick…..hear you silly birds. Is it breakfast, lunch, dinner, or quesadilla, or roast or stuffed or pullet surprise? Are we close?
9:25 pm on July 10th, 2013
SiberH!….There is some dark meat!…snort!
9:29 pm on July 10th, 2013
Oh yeah, Wio we wove you.
9:31 pm on July 10th, 2013
Rio, Right On, Good Buddy
9:36 pm on July 10th, 2013
Will handle dark meat…no bones,,,mom says no unless ???? Please?
9:43 pm on July 10th, 2013
HOH, My mom would make me de-bone the whole darn chicken so it would be okay for you guys to have some.
9:48 pm on July 10th, 2013
Like a boneless, skinless chicken ranch? OK.
9:49 pm on July 10th, 2013
B.Stover. Zoë just finished “Life After Life” by Kate Atkinson. She said it was well written, sad at times, made her laugh at others, but she’s not sure she figured out what it was about. She is waiting for me to read it. Then we will have our small reading club of two.
I am reading the dog mystery series of Donna Ball. Lots of fun. Not much thinking is required. Great dogs. (Not as great as Chet)
Riö, did you get the SDD? I’m beginning to think it went out in goat infested virtual reality.
9:50 pm on July 10th, 2013
Wowser, OK
9:54 pm on July 10th, 2013
More no thinking…Barbara Allan,
9:59 pm on July 10th, 2013
Goats!…What are the goats going on about?…sniff!
Walk!…Wheeze!…grumble!…Game is going to start and we have to go walk because of why? why? why?…gruffle!
9:59 pm on July 10th, 2013
SiberH: Barb & Maggie keeps saying how smart chickens are but Siber’s ain’t dumb either. Those chickens better be very careful.
That pink one with the prominent breast looks delish!
10:00 pm on July 10th, 2013
Melanie!…I sent it ages ago…sniff!…Everything has been received and accounted for…chuffle!
10:00 pm on July 10th, 2013
Feel the same about Allan stories. No thought, just fun.
10:05 pm on July 10th, 2013
where’s moms avatar? She’s a dummie.
10:08 pm on July 10th, 2013
Wow, that was weird
10:11 pm on July 10th, 2013
Rio, know how you feel.
10:15 pm on July 10th, 2013
Dawson is in with us Sibers! I knew she would pick the winning side.
10:19 pm on July 10th, 2013
SiberH: Wait a minute!
I did not pick a side. I only stated some facts.
I am completely neutral.
10:26 pm on July 10th, 2013
…and I do like a fresh egg in the morning.
10:28 pm on July 10th, 2013
Nah, Dawson, Stick with us.
10:39 pm on July 10th, 2013
WHEEEZE!…Hot and windy outside…snuffle!
Eggs!…No good unless you have bacon too..sniff!…And some pancakes with syrup and some really good cawfee…sneeze!
Game!…I see we have not missed any scoring!…heh!…Oh hey! Johnny Herrera just scored for the Rockies…snort! Woooooo!
10:40 pm on July 10th, 2013
Sides? What sides?
10:48 pm on July 10th, 2013
Boomers, wowser, boomers like crazy! No fear but hiding. Nighty night
11:07 pm on July 10th, 2013
Geeze!…How long does thunder and lightning last in Tennessee? I hope Brother Redbone is bottling up some of that lightning-shine for the next party…woooo!…I have a feeling we will not be bothered with any of that rain type stuff once again tonight…grunt!…What little we have had has not lasted very long at all. It made no difference to anything that lives outside all day long…grunt!
11:14 pm on July 10th, 2013
Question!….Here is a question for all you late-nighters…snort!…Why does Staff feed AbbieTheKat so late?…sniff!…It was almost midnight (their time) last night when Abbie was getting her bowl of fatty, gooey morsels…grunt!…Why so late? And this is not the first time I have noticed this late feeding time either…sniff!
11:15 pm on July 10th, 2013
Damn!…Link!…Off!…grunt!
11:22 pm on July 10th, 2013
I thought the same thing about Staff and Abbie when I read that late night post this morning.
We are going to sleep now. The Rockies could win this late game.
I will go out on a limb and say I think they will win.
Night All
11:33 pm on July 10th, 2013
SiberH!….We here will be following you to bed very soon…sniff!…Someone is very tired because she is at the busy-damned-place all on her own except for a Newbie…grunt!…He is helpful, but he flies through things that usually take her hours to do because she looks at everything – him, not so much….grunt!…So she is tired from trying to keep up with everything while her real partner is on vacation this whole damned week…grunt!…Sounds like a real-life nightmare to me…gah!…Two more days! Two more days!…wheeze!
11:38 pm on July 10th, 2013

Uh Rebecca, take note.
11:41 pm on July 10th, 2013
Plane!….That plane looks awfully small compared to the bear…gah!
12:18 am on July 11th, 2013
Macy: Duly noted. I will be traveling tomorrow for work, but will be in a jet. I’d hate to see that bear’s jet sized brother. Yeep!
I have to be up at the crack of dark. Nighty nutter butters.
3:07 am on July 11th, 2013
If there was a prize for rounding up the most dog jackets, Staff would win it (and special thanks to Dawson for helping). But all phone calls and attempts to procure said jackets whether successful or not were much appreciated. I am in awe of those who kept trying again and again without success–such commitment to our favorite kennel! This is going to be a great season…
I am in Anchorage. Long trip. The sedative for Sadie (a double doze one hour apart) did not work so the long trip was much longer. On a positive note: going up and down mountains made my ear drain and relieved some of the pressure. Still can’t hear well, three more days of medicine to go.
