Greetings All!
After so much Pawction excitement this weekend, it was hard to come back to work. The heat and humidity have broken here in NY, and it is a beautiful day! (Too bad I didn’t take a sick day…cough, cough)
Ernest Borgnine was a fine and versatile actor, able to switch from bad guys (From Here to Eternity), to good, gentle man (Marty). I have never seen Marty, but I’ll be looking for it now. Growing up, our family always watched McHale’s Navy!
RIP, Mr. Borgnine
Have a good day all!
9:21 am on July 9th, 2012
Now we’ll see if Siber- H can check in with us. I seem to remember that he tested his computer a few months ago and got green meaning no virus.
9:24 am on July 9th, 2012
Morning Rose (the human, not the dog) and Everyone!
I will be headed down the hills in a bit. Golinka and I are having a women’s day out!
Going to Easthampton to see the bears, one store that has the most beautiful felt. Have lunch out and then back to our lives.
The Royals’ Mum is getting ready for a “reely big shew” this weekend.
I am going to try to talk her into a web site.
Have fun!
9:35 am on July 9th, 2012
I must have seen Borgnine in McHale’s Navy….so long ago.
I think T&G’s mum should have a web site also.
Rebecca: I responded to your email.
Good morning all.
9:43 am on July 9th, 2012
The Royal Mum should definitely have a website. I’d be there in a second buying bears!
9:45 am on July 9th, 2012
A web site for Golinka. Yes! Yes!
10:00 am on July 9th, 2012
Over!…Well, my friends time-off is over and she had to go back to the busy-place this morning…snort!…She was feeling okay about everything until she got there..sniff!…Apparently they have pushed the new software change-over up a month and so she wouldn’t have had to dump her vacation plans after-all…grump!.. She checked the cabin’s availability and her time-slot is gone!gone!gone!….major grump!…So now she is more resolved than ever to get out of the flakey dept. she is in right now…sniff!…This is the only thing making her feel better this morning…heh!
10:01 am on July 9th, 2012
We vote YES YES YES for a Golinka website.
And we vote NO NO NO for Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. Mom saw the trailer and it was beyond dreadful.
Ugh.
10:18 am on July 9th, 2012
I agree—Golinka needs a website. It will be the first step in global domination.
Siber? Are you there?
Rio: Well, damn. I’d be grumpy, too.
10:21 am on July 9th, 2012
Good morning everyone. We say yes yes yes to a website too. Especially since Auntie Melanie is going to take Mama by the hand and drag her kicking and screaming into the wonders of world wide webbing.
And we also vote no to the Cruise as Reacher. What next? Will he play Larry Bird in a biopic?
Oh wait, no – they will get Johnny Depp….
And now to go get ready for Wild Women Wanderings – talk to you all later. (we have it on good authority that Mama will have out mailing boxes and packing tape later on…we may have a few things to ship our ourselves. tee heee)
10:22 am on July 9th, 2012
SiberH!…Has he Gone-Black?…heh!…Or is he still at the dawg park chasing the ladies?…snort!
10:23 am on July 9th, 2012
Wolfie, I have not seen the trailer, but I say NO to Tom Cruise as well, having read some Jack Reacher.
Rio, I know if I were your friend, I would be beyond grumpy.
BooBear, is there a progress report on Gus?
Wonder how B&M are doing?
Rebecca: Check being mailed this morning.
10:24 am on July 9th, 2012
Rebecca!…I’m not grumpy, yet….snort!…But someone else is extremely pissed off…heh!…Although, she will never show it at the busy-place, she will just quietly find another dept. to go work in and hopefully leave the one she’s at now when they need her the very most…chuffle!
10:25 am on July 9th, 2012
Speaking of cyberspace going black, where is my good friend Masquers, and the wise and wonderful Bear?
10:26 am on July 9th, 2012
Rio, that sounds like the best revenge.
10:39 am on July 9th, 2012
Melanie: A web page for Golinka – YES! Mention facebookie to her also. She presently has a page, but no action. It would be easy to add to and usen’s could promote it for her.
They say Ernest Borgnine was great in McHale’s Navy, but it is difficult to remember that fur back.
Rio: We, too, hope your Friend will soon be able to transfer out of that department. It is starting to sound more like CL Land than busy place.
Rose: Our feline friend is around here somewhere. Although, I have it on good authority the required SiberCheck was a last minute detail.
11:11 am on July 9th, 2012
Good morning, y’all! Mom finally dragged herself out of bed and turned the computer on for me. She says she was sick as a dog all weekend, although I’m feeling pretty tip-top myself, so I’m not just what that’s supposed to mean! Mom got up the other day and was really dizzy — she said the room was spinning (although it seemed pretty stable to me). She got up just long enough to call her busy place and say she couldn’t come in. And then she went back to bed and slept practically the whole day. She says the best thing about being sick is laying in bed all day reading, but she couldn’t even do that because her eyes kept doing this weird back-and-forth thing. And then she was still laying down all day yesterday, although she didn’t get to sleep because Dad was in the laundry room pounding in nails and cussing!
Anyway, I’m sorry we missed the whole auction. I have to go back now and catch up on whatever else we missed. 🙁
11:19 am on July 9th, 2012
Shucks!…Awww Kirby, I was wondering where the heck you were…snort!…You are usually in on all the Auction Action…sniff!…Maybe someone will be feeling better by Novemeber for the next Auction…wheeze!
11:32 am on July 9th, 2012
Kirby: Tell your mom she may have an inner ear infection or dysfunction. I had the same kind of thing once.
11:35 am on July 9th, 2012
I’m here, present and accounted for, but where is Siber?
Kirby: Sorry your mom is a sicko. Hope she feels better soon.
11:46 am on July 9th, 2012
Good morning, all. Mom and Pop both had to go back to their offices today. Sniff. We liked them being around all last week.
Website for The Royal Mum? Excellent !!!
Siber, where are you?
11:56 am on July 9th, 2012
Good Morning all. I need to let everyone know that I won’t be mailing out anything until I return to the farm at the end of this week.
Then we will get going on some packing action
11:59 am on July 9th, 2012
Staff: We will be looking forward to receiving Mr. Bear. Heh, heh. Just kidding O.Howlers.
12:01 pm on July 9th, 2012
We have not even read any Jack Reacher, but we say no to Tom (spacecadet) Cruise as well. In general. His people harrassed mom for weeks back in the nineties. Still makes her blood boil. Exactly what does it take for a religion to be a religion anyway?
12:03 pm on July 9th, 2012
We haven’t heard from Barb&Magpie either. Remember, Barb said she couldn’t check her computer way back when. Hope all is well.
Macy: Hear/tell the religious beliefs may have been the last straw for the happy couple.
12:05 pm on July 9th, 2012
I’m Here!! Thanks guys for wondering if I would be with you today. I hope none of us goes missing.
12:09 pm on July 9th, 2012
SiberH!…Did you buy ALL the Iditarod stuff from the Auction??…heh!heh!
12:17 pm on July 9th, 2012
Kirby, Hope your mom feels better soon.
How is Gus doing?
We will watch the trailer for that movie with Tom Cruise out of curosity, but will not watch the movie even if it were free on tv. That might cause splorting.
YES!! The Royals’ Mum needs her own website.
Rio, I hope your friend can get OUT of that department soon.
12:19 pm on July 9th, 2012
Glad you were not lost in cyberspace, SiberH!!!
12:20 pm on July 9th, 2012
Kirby, good to hear from you! Sorry your mom’s been sick!
Masquers, my dear friend. You are here!!!!
12:21 pm on July 9th, 2012
Rio, No I didn’t buy ALL the Iditarod stuff from the auction. I won 3 Iditarod items. I would have liked to have won more, but mom would occasionally look at the computer screen to see what I was doing.
12:42 pm on July 9th, 2012
Do we know who won: ????
#5 – the jewelery
#14- autumn quilt
#19- Orion’s jacket
#20- the Kiss
12:49 pm on July 9th, 2012
Excellent items from you, man. I have be mindful your stuff prior to and you’re simply too wonderful. I really like what you have got right here, really like what you are saying and the best way wherein you say it. You make it enjoyable and you still take care of to keep it wise. I can’t wait to read much more from you. This is really a great web site.
1:03 pm on July 9th, 2012
Bear, I won the Kiss.
1:10 pm on July 9th, 2012
Thanks, Rose.
1:16 pm on July 9th, 2012
Boardwalk Empire Season 3 premiers on September 16.
1:28 pm on July 9th, 2012
Hi, guys! Mom is at lunch and caught up on yesterday’s final posts. Auction was great fun and a really good fundraiser.
Gus is starting to breathe easier but seems very tired…not surprising since he’s been on a very high dose of Lasix. He goes back to the vet tomorrow for followup. We suspect the dosage will be lowered to help maintain his fluid levels and then he won’t be so tired.
1:30 pm on July 9th, 2012
And we cant think of a worse Reacher than Tom Cruise!!
1:54 pm on July 9th, 2012
Regarding Ernest Borgnine, while we certainly enjoyed McHale’s Navy as great comedic relief, he will always be remembered in our household for his outstanding (and Academy Award winning) performance in Marty, one of our all-time favorite movies.

Staff, Mom says to ease your mind about your bear: he will never be accessible to Kat, nor any of us Howlers.
Drat!
2:30 pm on July 9th, 2012
Rose, I just new it was you that bid on the kiss.
I am still laughing about Staff’s bear going to a house full of Sibers, but don’t worry, Staff, I know their mom will take good care of the bear. They won’t have any more fun with that bear than I am with my stuffed Huskies, which, by the the way, came from their house.
2:30 pm on July 9th, 2012
new-knew…jeez
2:47 pm on July 9th, 2012
Siber!!! Shhhh. Don’t worry Staff or she won’t send Mr. Bear to us.
What else did everyone bid on and lose?
2:57 pm on July 9th, 2012
We are just happy to know that even though outbid on certain items they will be going to good homes. Some of youse struck Gold!
3:30 pm on July 9th, 2012
I got the Prayer Feather, but won’t get it right away. It will be the bottom piece of a hanging that I have been working on with the Royals’ Mum. I will post a picture when it’s completed.
3:39 pm on July 9th, 2012
Dip!…Has anyone ever tried that spinach dip that is out there on the Boutique shelves?…snort!…My friend ordered some – we are hoping it will be good to eat during the Games…heh!…It all sounds too healthy to be good though…grunt!
3:49 pm on July 9th, 2012
Rio: Linda’s Dip sounds really good. We are ordering some of it also. BTW: Your Friend’s Owl was Great…unfortunately we were too late and it was long long by the time we spotted it.
3:51 pm on July 9th, 2012
Owls!…She says she could make some more Owls if anyone is interested….grunt!
4:01 pm on July 9th, 2012
1 Owl order coming up!
4:04 pm on July 9th, 2012
Howlers: I was also bidding on the ARC but was out-bid.
4:05 pm on July 9th, 2012
Whooo! Whoooo!
4:06 pm on July 9th, 2012
There is a quiz question on Facebook that we could answer.
4:06 pm on July 9th, 2012
SiberH, I am just a sentimental fool at heart.
Owl order # 2……
4:13 pm on July 9th, 2012
B: Do you mean Pearl in Emerald Green? She looks so cool…not a care in the world…as if to say: “What?”.
4:17 pm on July 9th, 2012
Maskers!…I can’t believe you still have that credit card…heh!heh!…Keep checking the Spring Boutique and once its out there you can order a Wise Old Owl…chuffle!
4:25 pm on July 9th, 2012
I am not allowed to go to facebookie, so what is the question please?
4:42 pm on July 9th, 2012
SH: The FB quiz question is on the right side of this screen. It has a picture of Pearl and asks why she’s green.
4:45 pm on July 9th, 2012
Oh, Thanks Stover. That is an easy question. I wonder if she is still green.
4:55 pm on July 9th, 2012
Reminder!…The Homerun Derby is on tonight!…Woooo!…The Rockies have one guy in this thing (finally!)…heh!…It starts at 8:00 EST. The middle of the season has officially arrived…grunt!…That was too damned quick…sniff!…The All-Star Game is tomorrow night…wheeze!
5:46 pm on July 9th, 2012
Checking in and will catch up later. I have been keeping my nose to the grindstone (ouch) and working on my extensive “to do” list. Since the Alaskan summers are so short, I have to get things done. Still no rescued pregnant Siber(s) in my new dog pen but I am ready when they are.
Dog question: my 13-year old Lady has become a little incontinent — happens rarely but it does happen especially after she has been sleeping. It shocks her. Otherwise she is an active and happy dog. Vet wants to run a bunch of tests to see if it is related to the March diagnosis of Cushings which at that time didn’t need treatment. Since I am downing in vet bills at the moment, I was wondering if anyone has dealt with this in an older dog.
5:48 pm on July 9th, 2012
She is green because white dogs grass stain so easy. Jesse, Frank and Younger of the Outlaw litter—all white—spend much of their puppyhood partially green. Whitey-Lance’s boys, Abe, Marco and Garrett–all white are also in the same boat, Meg and Amy of the Little Women litter, too.
6:00 pm on July 9th, 2012
Green!…I’m green with envy over Rose winning the ARC…sniff!…Rose, won’t you be my valentine?…snorkel!
6:01 pm on July 9th, 2012
CHobbit!…Grandma used to have that same problem – I think it goes with the aging territory…sniffle!
6:59 pm on July 9th, 2012
Too bad they don’t make what Maggie calls ‘hospital panties’ for dogs.
😀
7:08 pm on July 9th, 2012
C.HobbitHarris, I would just make sure she doesn’t have a UTI first. Easier test and cheaper.
We had a blast today. A web site will be a collaborative effort and will take some time seeing that a certain someone has a few shows coming in the next few weeks.
I AM ZONKED! I am going to water the garden, struggle to stay awake until 8 and then go to bed.
But first . . . The Steam Punk Bear!
7:10 pm on July 9th, 2012
CHarris, Try asking your vet if it is necessary at this time to run those tests on your girl. In other words, is she in any danger if you don’t run those tests right now. If he says the tests are not necessary at this time, you and your girl would have to decide to live with the leaking urine. Many dog owners and dogs have adjusted to this problem and done just fine. Mom has been through it. Molly, the Husky, has this problem because of the drugs she is on for autoimmune disease. It doesn’t bother Molly or her mom.
BUT, I am wondering if your vet suspects the Cushings Disease has flared up.
7:12 pm on July 9th, 2012
I totally agree with Melanie about the UTI. Take a sample of pee into your vet and have him/her do a UA.
7:14 pm on July 9th, 2012
Rio, aren’t you a little early for Valentine’s Day?
7:17 pm on July 9th, 2012
CHH: My old stray, Howard had that problem as he got older. He was quite old when he found me. I think dirt was his kid brother.
7:17 pm on July 9th, 2012
Melanie, cool bear!
Bear and Masquers: Please check your SDD.
7:30 pm on July 9th, 2012
Lapse!…Today was an awful day for my friend at the busy-damned-place…snort!…So it figures that today is the day Beau decided to have a Lapse…sniff!…Her mother left the house for the first time in over a month and while she was gone
weBeau knocked the gate to the living room down and pissed all over the side of a pillow. Part of it got on the rug too…huffle!…I hid under the chair when I heard her mother come home…heh!heh!…I have a great view from under there. Boy! oh Boy!…snort!…Then when my friend got home she had to clean it all up. Was she ever MAD!MAD!MAD! Beau has been tryin to make up to her ever since but it will take a while till he is back in her good grace…heh!heh!7:32 pm on July 9th, 2012
Rose!…Why are you emailing those guys?…huh?…You aren’t loaning that special book out to them are you?…grunt!
7:34 pm on July 9th, 2012
Someone essentially assist to make critically articles I’d state. This is the first time I frequented your website page and so far? I amazed with the analysis you made to create this particular publish extraordinary. Great process!
7:36 pm on July 9th, 2012
What if I was?
7:38 pm on July 9th, 2012
I think this is the same spammer for earlier today.
7:49 pm on July 9th, 2012
Where is our Mike Baker. Suddenly we have spammers out the wazoo. There should be no spammers in our wazoo.
Hey MIKE!
7:49 pm on July 9th, 2012
Book!…Well, that wouldn’t be very nice, now would it Rose?…snuffle!…Seeing as I asked you first….wheeze!
7:57 pm on July 9th, 2012
I am concerned. I am so tired that I am beginning to understand spammer speak.
Heard from YSAS about his weekend. The meeting of the brother and sister-in-law went well. A good time was had by all. No talk about bringing the “friend” up here for a visit at this point.
Patsy is already in bed. The AC is on in there and she demanded that Zoë let her in while I was watering the gardens.
Garden update. The lettuce is beginning to look less baked. I believe I’m on the correct track for those. Still just two small tomatoes but the plants have more flowers on them. The beans are in full bloom, the peas getting there. The cucumbers are growing those twirly things. I have squash flowers and the pumpkin plants shot up since I’ve been using the soaker hose.
Umm, about those bunching onions . . do I just clip off the tops and use them like chives?
Now time for bed! Thank Dog!
TTFN
8:00 pm on July 9th, 2012
Rio, not it wouldn’t be nice, but my SDD to them has nothing to do with that.
Am I still your Valentine?
8:01 pm on July 9th, 2012
Chives!…My friend wanted so badly to plant those green onions, but noooooo!…snort!…Someone else said nooooooo…grunt!….Next year (if we are still here) we are planting whatever-the-hell-we-want-to…heh!…Because if she keeps doing what she’s doing her mother will be in NO shape to plant a stick…grump!
8:02 pm on July 9th, 2012
Jeez Louise, I meant no it wouldn’t
8:02 pm on July 9th, 2012
Rose!…The HomeRun Derby is about to start, so it all depends on how badly your Yankees hit tonight…heh!heh!…Yes, I am that fickle…chorkel!
8:04 pm on July 9th, 2012
Rose!…Can you please position Shirley and Laverne so they can watch Cargo hit homeruns tonight?…snort!snort!
8:06 pm on July 9th, 2012
WoooHoooo!…Hillbilly musik to kick off the Derby!…snort!…I hope Mr. Staff is watching this….chorkel!
8:07 pm on July 9th, 2012
Rose: Check!
8:08 pm on July 9th, 2012
Lo siento, Rio, but the Prof is watching ALIEN, and then on to wrestling at 9:00.
If I did loan it to you, how would I know you or Beau wouldn’t sneeze, wheeze or drool on it? Would I have to pay ransom to get it back?
8:10 pm on July 9th, 2012
Masquers, hugs to you all!
8:12 pm on July 9th, 2012
Think it’s time for bed. Night all!
8:14 pm on July 9th, 2012
Ransom!….
Wot a great idea!…heh!…Rose, just because we have had White Wings for months and months now doesn’t mean we will never send it back to Dawson…chorkel!…Believe me, The ARC will be safe in a high place when we are not reading it so Beau doesn’t get any bright ideas, and then in good paws while we are reading it…cough!…I promise!…burp!sneeze!8:15 pm on July 9th, 2012
We have company here so we’re signing off a bit early.
See everyone tomorrow.
8:16 pm on July 9th, 2012
Maskers!…Company? Its not the ARC, is it?…grumble!
8:19 pm on July 9th, 2012
C Hobbitt, Teddy had the same problem at that age, but it was caused by a UTI. It means another vet bill but she should be feeling tip top in nothing flat.
8:24 pm on July 9th, 2012
Staff. Actually they do, but no self-respecting dog would ever wear them.
C-Hobbit — my mom (who is knowledgable about these things) says that in the case of humans, incontinence can be related to Cushings, although it may still be a good idea to rule out a UTI.
Wookie
8:41 pm on July 9th, 2012
Incontinence!…What a topic!…grunt!
Cargo!…He will be up next for the Nationals!…Wooooo!….I love seeing the players there with all their little pups…heh!heh!….grump!…Now why are they interviewing someone while Cargo is hitting…GRUMP!CRAP!
8:47 pm on July 9th, 2012
Yes! I got to see Cargo!
I like the interviewing of the different players, but not while Cargo is batting.
9:01 pm on July 9th, 2012
Cargo!…He got 4, which is good…snort!…Is there a second round? I can’t remember…grunt!
9:32 pm on July 9th, 2012
I can’t remember either, Rio, but I know it ends at 8.
10:12 pm on July 9th, 2012
Derby!…Its past 8:00pm here and the Derby is still on…heh!heh!…We came back from our walk and hoped we hadn’t missed it all…grunt!…Beau really misbehaved tonight on his walk. Someone is not happy with him at all today…wheeze!
10:27 pm on July 9th, 2012
C.Hobbit, Moonman had a similar problem when he got old. Mom put pne of those things on him at night. He didn’t mind.
10:32 pm on July 9th, 2012
You are right, Rio. The Derby goes on until 9. The on-screen direct tv guide is wrong.
10:40 pm on July 9th, 2012

I wonder if this will work. These two are up on my FOC link right now. Cuties!
10:41 pm on July 9th, 2012
How about now?
10:42 pm on July 9th, 2012
Guess you have to go look at the link.
Who is winning the homerun derby?
10:48 pm on July 9th, 2012
Staff!…Quite putting up stupid links and go drink 64oz of water, right now…grump!
10:53 pm on July 9th, 2012
Staff!…Before you go, Fielder is the winner of this years Derby…grunt!…My friend thinks he has the cutest little boy ever…heh!…Has better hair than his dad does, thats for sure…snorkel!
10:54 pm on July 9th, 2012
Bed!…We are off to bed, because it has been “one of those” days…grump!…So goodnight and see youse tomorrow, maybe…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Nite y’all.
5:29 am on July 13th, 2012
Heya i am for the first time here. I came across this board and I in finding It truly helpful & it helped me out a lot. I am hoping to present one thing again and aid others such as you aided me.
