Good morning Chet and all.
9:11 am on April 13th, 2013
There is more laughter over the bridge this morning. Less so on this side.
Gooood morning everyone! Hope all have slept well after a busy day of: mixed-up meds, hospital visits, stickers, plane flights, v e t visits & pills etc.
9:23 am on April 13th, 2013
Good Morning All.
Goodbye to a Funny Man.
10:01 am on April 13th, 2013
Our favorite line from a great comedian: when asked about his Native American heritage, his response was that while he was proud of it, it was such a small part if his ancestry that “one nosebleed, and he was out of the tribe”.
That one still makes us giggle, and has actually become part of Native lexicon.
Hope Beau is feeling more tip top today.
Mama is off to take the Storyteller his electric razor. He is feeling well enough that he is unhappy about looking “scruffy”. That’s gotta be a good sign.
10:27 am on April 13th, 2013
Good morning all. Sounds like Leonard is doing extremely well. Give him a hug for us.
Looking out the window and not liking what is going on: snow flakes flying thru the air! Really, mid April? Tomorrow should be better at 65 degrees.
10:31 am on April 13th, 2013
Tupper&Gilly: Give the Storyteller our best. Tupper, You were up top a while ago looking like one of the Queen’s own.
Dawson: You missed a big wind storm. Yeep! Our power was out for 3 hours last night.
Barb&Magpie: Difficult to know whether to plant or not with it snowing one day and balmy the next.
Beau: Hope your medicine did the trick last night leaving you feeling tip top this morning.
10:40 am on April 13th, 2013
BSD, We will plant the really hardy veggies as soon as the bed is completed, but the more delicate plants will not be going in for at least another 4-5 weeks.
Is Rio in for another snow storm today?
10:43 am on April 13th, 2013
Tupper and Gilly, we here like that “one nosebleed” comment because that’s us. Molly’s mom’s great great grandmother was Native American as we’ve said before. We are proud of our heritage but it is very diluted.
11:00 am on April 13th, 2013
T&G – our Native American heritage goes back to 1674, also a grandmother on the maternal side. I don’t know how many greats that is, but many more than two.
Best wishes to the Storyteller and his primary caretaker.
They don’t make ’em like Jonathan Winters anymore and that’s sad.
11:20 am on April 13th, 2013
Good Morning! Love J.W.
I am about to make a pineapple upside down cake. Wish me luck.
11:23 am on April 13th, 2013
Jonathon!…This is very sad news…sniffle!…One of my favorite comedians…sob!
Bright!…On the bright side of things, Beau is tip-top this morning and someone managed to get another pill down his gullet…heh!…And the Rockies won last night – they are one game behind Wookies’s Nats. Damn those Giants!…grunt!
11:27 am on April 13th, 2013
Dawson!…Made it!…snort!….But where in the world is our Rose?…sniff!snuffle!
11:48 am on April 13th, 2013
Jonathan Winters has given me many laughs over the years. R.I.P.
I’ve got to put on my city manners. No walking down the middle of the street, even if the sidewalks are covered in crunchy ice. No smiling and saying hello to strangers – they think you are weird. Or dangerous.
Dad looks great in his wonderfully soft fleece robe from the Marauding Goats! I will not say anything bad about the Goats, ever again. (I may forget I said this – my memory is not the best.) Thank you Marauding Goats.
Rio and BStover: Wow! I am honored to have an original poem by our own BStover and the quilling is fantastic. The roses are really, really sweet, the iridescent pearls, exquisite and the whole package together is over the top wonderful. The picture that goes with the poem, is that from the Iditarod Trail?
Melanie: Good luck! Is that gluten-free?
11:49 am on April 13th, 2013
It is sad about Jonathon Winters…R.I.P.
Glad Beau is feeling better.
Rio, I wish you and I could have been able to stay awake for the Rockies ninth inning. It was a good one.
Boston is number one in the East division.
Good Morning All
12:05 pm on April 13th, 2013
I sent this email off a few minutes ago.
Dear Carol. I am going to pick up the 3 red and one grey dog coats of #1 soon and called them with the sku for coat number 2 and they have one grey one in stock. So I will pick that one up also and now you will have 16 of that coat. Rebecca sent me the SKU so I could ask for it without a lot of description. SKU 1552074
YaHOOO!

Dawson: The picture was taken about four miles from my house here in Michigan. I’m glad that you like the project.
12:31 pm on April 13th, 2013
This morning it was icing. Then that turned to snow and there was a bit of accumulation. That is gone and now it is raining. In between all of that, the sun peeked out for three seconds.
12:54 pm on April 13th, 2013
Dawson is safe! Beau is better! A smattering of sun on the mitten. Leonard felt “scruffy” and wants to clean up a bit. The only thing missing from the picture is a beautiful ROSE!
12:57 pm on April 13th, 2013
The last time Wose posted was Wednesday. If my calculations are correct, and I have reason to eliece they are not, that is more than two days ago.
12:57 pm on April 13th, 2013
Believe not eliece! Damn Ipaw!
1:07 pm on April 13th, 2013
Mommy bought a little kit bag for the auction. It measures 3″ x 6″ and has a zipper that goes all the way around. It needs to be needlepointed by Molly’s Mom.
1:11 pm on April 13th, 2013
Correction – The bag zips on three sides. Molly’s mom doesn’t know about this yet.
1:12 pm on April 13th, 2013
Wednesday ws a long time ago. Wose, I hope you are okay. We miss you.
1:20 pm on April 13th, 2013
Rebecca!….Check your SDD – and make it quick this is really important!!….sniff!
1:20 pm on April 13th, 2013
I sent Wose a text message from my two-legged’s phone when she wasn’t looking. My two-legged had an awful night. She says a stomach bug hit her out of nowhere. The Giant says he thinks it is the same bug he had on the race. Me? I say she shouldn’t have licked Beau’s dog dish. She says she did no such thing, but I’m not sure I trust her. She says a lot of things.
Wose has not responded to my text, yet. This makes me worrit. Watch out! Chicken Lady words could be coming up any time.
1:22 pm on April 13th, 2013
Rebecca!….Have you checked it yet!???….Hmmmm???….HURRY!…snort!
1:23 pm on April 13th, 2013
Uh-oh!…Rebecca might be busy in the bathroom…grunt!…Life sure gets messy…sniff!
1:50 pm on April 13th, 2013
Rio: My Two-legged responded quick like a little pug. She only has one word to say: YEEP!
1:57 pm on April 13th, 2013
Yeep is not a Chicken Lady word!
2:06 pm on April 13th, 2013
Yeep was what my Two-legged’s word, not mine. I have other words, but will be saying ‘yeep’ once my Two-legged finds out I’ve been taking other four-letter words out for a spin. I better get it out of my system before she finds out: Damn! Hell! poop!
2:10 pm on April 13th, 2013
Rebecca!…How many words can fit on the head of a needle?…snort!
2:16 pm on April 13th, 2013
Rio: If I had to hazard a guess, I would say a least a baker’s dozen. Maybe less.
Looks like Belle Starr has been up to no good.
2:20 pm on April 13th, 2013
Rebecca!…Someone was able to fit the whole enchilada on that tiny thing we discussed…snort!…Now she is off to hobby Lobby looking for pre-cut photo mats..grunt!
2:22 pm on April 13th, 2013
Rose will be so happy to hear Staff’s news about the dog coats!
Rose has been amongst the most gallant of Plunderers in seeking out these coats. She has had a seemingly endless supply of determination and drive and would not give up seeking the finish line no matter how hard the trail was. Sounds like lead dog qualities to me!
And, of course, kudos and thank youse to all who helped! Now we can take a well-earned rest and be proud of our accomplishment while knowing that another race will get us up and running again.
2:29 pm on April 13th, 2013
I forgot to put up the picture of the needlepoint case.
2:42 pm on April 13th, 2013
Princess: You may want to make your AuntMollysMom a hard boiled egg before you tell her what you’ve voluntold her to do.
2:47 pm on April 13th, 2013
Hey all! We liked Jonathan Winters a lot too. R.I.P.
We just have time for a quick HI and BYE as all kinds of chores are being done here today, and it is our job to supervise.
Add all of us to the list of worriers about Wose. Wose, where are you?
3:08 pm on April 13th, 2013
Rebecca, I know that Molly’s Mom won’t mind a bit. She might be a bit surprised however. I have counted up the number of stitches in this piece of work and it will be beautiful because they’re very tiny. There is also a design to be stitched on the other side of this that I didn’t show in the picture. The total number of stitches for the whole item is 11,664. She had better get busy I would think.
3:11 pm on April 13th, 2013
Princess: Well, if you don’t think she’ll mind, maybe you can convince her to make you an egg. You have to keep your strength up if you’re going to supervise her work.
3:36 pm on April 13th, 2013
For the Sibers on the blog: dog imitates baby (or are they having a conversation?)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6r5cuRdsCM
3:53 pm on April 13th, 2013
Thanks C.Harris, That is cute. The Siber is way more talented than the kid.
4:11 pm on April 13th, 2013
We also should be added to the list of those concerned about Rose. Hope all is OK in Westchester.
4:22 pm on April 13th, 2013
Siber: News flash, Sibers are frequently more talented than kids, or children!
4:33 pm on April 13th, 2013
HOH, Thank you.
4:44 pm on April 13th, 2013
Thanks for the video, C.Hobbit. We don’t think she is trying to imitate the baby; we distinctly heard her say “Help”. She wants rescuing from that kid.
5:19 pm on April 13th, 2013
I think the siber was trying to convince the puppy to be less stingy with the treaties and the little one was putting up a fight.
5:41 pm on April 13th, 2013
That needlepoint case is going to be beautiful. Is she going to charge $1.00 per stitch?
Barb just planted an herb planter. Cilantro, sage and oregano plants and basil seeds. She just had to get her fingers into the dirt!
5:43 pm on April 13th, 2013
Rebecca, can you text the Griz?
5:55 pm on April 13th, 2013
Mats!….Is it just this town or what?…sniff!….Seems someone cannot find the supplies she needs for her big ideas and she has to try to find reliable online sources…grunt!…She bit the bullet again and ordered pre-cut photo mats online…sniff!
5:56 pm on April 13th, 2013
I don’t have Griz’s cell phone number otherwise I would do just that. I did try calling Wose’s cell. Maybe she and Griz went on a weekend getaway where there isn’t cell coverage. It seems to me that Zelda’s place didn’t have coverage, or am I just making that up to make me feel better?
5:56 pm on April 13th, 2013
MISSING!…Is our Rose still missing?…wheeze!…Maybe they are out looking for Coats!…sniff!
6:18 pm on April 13th, 2013
I borrowed Wookie’s super secret agent skills and located Griz’s cell phone number. I tip-tap-typed a message to him and am waiting for a response. Over and sparkly, Agent Belle Starr Double-Oh-Three-and-a-Half.
6:36 pm on April 13th, 2013
Good Work, Belle Starr
6:36 pm on April 13th, 2013
Good work, Bellie
6:49 pm on April 13th, 2013
Bellie!…You might need a refresher course…sniff!
7:05 pm on April 13th, 2013
Belle: Don’t listen to Rio, he’s full of pug stuff and hot air. you done good!
7:08 pm on April 13th, 2013
Thanks Belle, we anxiously await word on Rose.
7:11 pm on April 13th, 2013
Note!…I’m just worried that her message might have been a little too…um…sparkly..snort!
7:18 pm on April 13th, 2013
Never too sparkly for our Wose. Good job, Belly.
7:20 pm on April 13th, 2013
ROSE!!!?
I’ll catch up with everything else later. OTAS and GLAD are here and we are having a great time.
My cake was wonderful. Chocolate, hazelnut, toffee incased in hard chocolate icing.
Yumm . . BBML
7:20 pm on April 13th, 2013
Oh,Rio, we thought you were commenting on her borrowing Wookie’s skills.
7:24 pm on April 13th, 2013
Melanie!… It is not your birthday – why do you get to eat cake and I do not?…sniff!
7:28 pm on April 13th, 2013
Cake at Melanie’s house! I am heading there!
7:30 pm on April 13th, 2013
Melanie – Stop it! I know it’s gluten free and I want some.
8:23 pm on April 13th, 2013
We can wish Melanie Happy Cake today, but when do we wish her a Happy Birthday?
8:31 pm on April 13th, 2013
Good night all.
8:34 pm on April 13th, 2013
I think Melanie’s birthday is tomorrow.
8:45 pm on April 13th, 2013
Stover, Thank You.
8:49 pm on April 13th, 2013
SiberH!…Are you watching the game?…snort!…Still the first inning…heh!…We might actually get to see the whole game tonight…Wooooo!
8:57 pm on April 13th, 2013
Rio, Yes, I am watching the game. It started at such a civilized hour.
9:13 pm on April 13th, 2013
Rosario does it again! WOO WOO
9:14 pm on April 13th, 2013
Rosario!….WhooooHoooo!…Another homerun! I’ve got that guys autograph!..snort!snort!
9:15 pm on April 13th, 2013
Just checking in to say a quick hello.
And yes, Melanie’s birthday is tomorrow, but they are having cake tonight because her niece’s bridal shower is tomorrow.
And let us not forget the a certain Friend of Pugs will also be aging up a year….
Its been a long day at the hospital – why is it that weekend staffing is so hit or miss? Even though the Storyteller’s diet was changed by the doctor last night, today they kept trying to give him nothing but broth and tea. We will simply say that after Mama “discussed” it with the staff, there miraculously appeared some more appetizing comestibles, sheets were changed, and medication was properly administered.
Mama says that next year at the Westminster Dog Show, you all will be able to cheer her on, cuz she is certainly going to be one Blue Ribbon Bitch by the time this is all said and done.
sigh
Sure hope Rose checks in sometime soon. We are going to trust that Griz took her off on a surprise weekend to the no-cell-service place. Otherwise we will just worry.
9:31 pm on April 13th, 2013
Rose!…Maybe Rose went to see her Yankees play and isn’t home yet…sniff!
9:32 pm on April 13th, 2013
Bellie!…Any word back on your sparkly SDD?…wheeze!
9:37 pm on April 13th, 2013
OMDawg!….The old man hit a double!….Woooooo!….The Todd-Father…snorkel!…Me and my friend always cringe and look away when he gets ready to slide into base…gasp!
9:42 pm on April 13th, 2013
I think the Rockies new hitting coach is making a difference.
Amalia, I am so very glad you are there at the hospital with Leonard.
9:42 pm on April 13th, 2013
Hounds had a busy evening romping in the back and some of us in the puppy pool. We are plumb tuckered out and soggy doggies so night night.
9:47 pm on April 13th, 2013
Dante!…Bichette! He is a great guy and looks like a great hitting coach…snort!….I can’t help thinking that Jim Tracy should be here. In my opinion he built this excellent young team…sniff!
10:08 pm on April 13th, 2013
Pink Bulldozer: Do you give private lessons?
10:18 pm on April 13th, 2013
Another home run! Cuddyer!
10:20 pm on April 13th, 2013
Nationals!….Awwwww! The Braves got the best of Wookie’s Nats today…sniff!…This means we might catch up to them again in the standings…snort!snort!…The Rocks are sticking it to the Padres…heh!heh!
10:23 pm on April 13th, 2013
SiberH!….Very cool! It is Drew Goodman’s birthday today….snort!…Very close to mine!mine!mine!….heh!
10:25 pm on April 13th, 2013
Belle Starr – Mama says it is a natural dog-given talent.
10:26 pm on April 13th, 2013
Rio – YOUR birthday is the same as your Friend’s?? What an amazing coincidence.
10:33 pm on April 13th, 2013
Tupper!….Yes, unnaturally coincidental…heh!heh!
10:38 pm on April 13th, 2013
There is more than half the cake left. Being made of a very special chocolate Chet’s Pack can come and eat it. I do have to cut a piece off and freeze it for the Storyteller.
I am proud (wiping a tear away) of the Pink Bulldozer. She has gotten to the point that the nurses see her and turn around. Soon she will have them sceaming and then running from the ward. The patients will all stand and cheer! Square dancing will commence and pizza will be ordered.
But now? It is time for me to sleep. HEAR that body? Sleep!
Got some things to do before the shower.
TTFN
10:50 pm on April 13th, 2013
HA!…I laughed out loud when the ball was hit between the second-base umpires legs….chorkel!
10:50 pm on April 13th, 2013
T&G: Maybe I will grow into a sparkly bulldozer when I get older.
Tomorrow is a big day for birthdays. Coach’s birthday is also tomorrow! He is older than two.
10:57 pm on April 13th, 2013
This photo is for my friend Wose. She was a natural at holding the pups so much so, it took a little attention away from me. But, I should add, she’s a natural at giving tummies.
10:59 pm on April 13th, 2013
Let’s try that again.
11:09 pm on April 13th, 2013
Snort!…I’m not a big fan of puppies, but I love that photo…heh!heh!…No balls getting between his legs…chuffle!
11:12 pm on April 13th, 2013
Balls!…Speaking of balls. Beau is playing keep-away from my friend with his little tennis ball right now…snort!…A very annoying game he loves to play…sniff!
11:16 pm on April 13th, 2013
Belle Star: Awww. A puppy with 3 white paws and 1 black. Interesting; it has to mean something but what? I LOVE PUPPIES!!!
Rio: I don’t know how to be creative and send you and your friend a proper electronic birthday card or a beautiful photo of a cake like someone else on this here blog but know that I will be thinking of both of youse and wishing you the happiest of days and all the Slim Jims you can eat along with all the other celebratory foods. [I think this is the longest sentence I’ve ever posted, I was trying for a record]
11:21 pm on April 13th, 2013
CHobbit!…That is so nice of you, but our birthdays are not till later…snort!…You are premature in your well-wishy-ness..sniff!…If we get cake, someone here will have to bake it for us because someone else never thinks to get one…grunt!…Even though she lives on sweet stuff.
11:24 pm on April 13th, 2013
Cute Puppy! Mom loves puppies. I would rather hang with adult dogs.
The Rockies can win this game.
Rose, thinking of you.
Night All
11:24 pm on April 13th, 2013
CHobbit!…Do you plant any spring-time type flowers around your house?…sniff!…Can one grow a garden in Alaska?…grunt!
11:27 pm on April 13th, 2013
Rio: it has been one of those days. I am very discombobulated and hope tomorrow is better. I am sure that if I had a puppy to hold, I would feel better.
I will wish the right person happy birthday tomorrow.
11:31 pm on April 13th, 2013
Birthdays!…Tomorrow is Melanie’s birthday…snort!…That is all you need to remember for now little Hobbit…heh!
11:36 pm on April 13th, 2013
Rio: can’t plant anything in the ground until after the memorial day weekend if you want to be absolutely safe. It is not until mid-May that the ground is unfrozen and can be worked with. There was one year that I recall it suddenly snowing and freezing again the first week of June which caused havoc with all the newly planted gardens.
Don’t worry, I won’t forget about Melanie. BTW I started calling Sadie my pug dog because she has gotten so f-a-t (it is a complement because I think of you each time I call her a pug). She is due at the v-e-t for a checkup but I have to walk off some of these pounds first. Winter better start melting…
11:39 pm on April 13th, 2013
CHobbit!…Hmmmphf!…burp!
11:40 pm on April 13th, 2013
You can never have a bad day when you’re holding a pup.
11:40 pm on April 13th, 2013
Checking in after doing Dad’s eye drops. We are worried about Rode here in the midwest also. I hope she or the Griz check in soon.
Nighty noodle all youse guys. We got to bed late last night so are going to bed now.
11:44 pm on April 13th, 2013
Dognabit!…I’ve been kicking back, laying around chewing on my chewies, reading my SDD’s, licking my paws and now suddenly the Padres are I>Coming Back…grunt!…What the hell!…wheeze!
11:56 pm on April 13th, 2013
Alice checking out a bag of dog coats. Do you think the team will notice?
11:57 pm on April 13th, 2013
False!…Alarm! Bases are loaded with one out for the Rockies…heh!heh!…I’m sure the game is clinched…chuffle!
11:58 pm on April 13th, 2013
ALICE!…Step Away From The Coats….gasp!grunt
12:01 am on April 14th, 2013
We can smell Alice from here!
12:08 am on April 14th, 2013
Rockies!….Winnit!….Woooooo!…So far I a lovin’ this season…heh!
12:12 am on April 14th, 2013
Drink!…For the Giant!…snort!
12:17 am on April 14th, 2013
Thinking of and saying a prayer for MIA Wose.
This was a busy day, chasing down dog jackets (they are very nice), going to estate sales (nothing remarkable), getting my taxes done (carpola), losing at cards (carpola) and learning Dad’s medication schedule and care needs. (yikes!)
12:19 am on April 14th, 2013
Dawson!…Good luck….sniff!…Maybe Alice will stick around and help you out…grunt!
12:19 am on April 14th, 2013
Happy Birthday Melanie!
I hope you are sleeping right now.
12:20 am on April 14th, 2013
Dawson!…I really think you need to spend your free time rooting for and watching your Tigers…snort!…It will help, believe you me…heh!
12:23 am on April 14th, 2013
Goodnight!…It is late here, so we are off to our warm soft beds. Mine being the only one with baseball toys in just the right places…chuffle!
12:02 pm on June 15th, 2014
I am extremely impressed with your writing
skills as well as with the structure for your weblog.
Is this a paid subject or did you customize
it yourself? Anyway stay up the nice high quality writing, it’s uncommon to peer a great
blog like this one these days..
