Good morning, everyone! That review pawsitively gushes and will say no other comment. Rick home? That would be nice and we hope Macy’s mom stays good.
Will keep the purple out a bit in support of Rick 🙂
Have a trouble-free Tuesday.
7:55 am on March 25th, 2014
Good morning HOH!
Trakking the Awesome One…6 min to takeoff!
8:01 am on March 25th, 2014
Macy’s Mom: Purple it is!
Good News to have Rick Home.
He will be much More Comfortable there and so will you.
Hounds, A Trouble-Free Tuesday it is!
8:14 am on March 25th, 2014
Good morning all.
8:22 am on March 25th, 2014
Greetings!
Save travels to Awesome Dawson, and also to MPM!
Glad to hear Macy’s pop is coming home. Good thoughts coming at you!
All this talk about bedpugs and sledbugs is making me miss my cat Kelly. During the winter, he got right under the covers with me, and put his head on the pillow next to mine. sigh, sniff,sob
HOHs, right back on top!
8:29 am on March 25th, 2014
Wow, No comments about incorrect use of read? We were all prepared to get out of her way!
Happy travels to Awesome today.
It will be nice for Rick to be back at home. He will be so much more comfortable in his own place.
Got up this morning to a dusting of snow. They are telling us that winter will be over by Friday. Will believe it when we see it.
Barb is getting dressed to head out to her first, but short, work day. Four hours of training and her head will be spinning.
8:33 am on March 25th, 2014
Good Morning, All.
Thinking about our travelers today. Safe journeys.
ML, ALWAYS have you and Rick in our heart and in our thoughts. He will be happier at home with Belle to watch over him. (Really, Belle is afraid of Macy??)
Also thinking about Zoe and the boys. Hope they are doing ok.
8:37 am on March 25th, 2014
Dawson is en route…flight time to Seattle…3 hrs 3 min.
MPM? North to Alaska? I do not have trakker info for her flight. sniff.
HRH B, Rose & BooBear’s Mom: Top of the mornin to youse.
B&M: No comments on “that word”…except to say…it ruined the review for us.
Have a good first day.
8:52 am on March 25th, 2014
You know this winter has been hard on the trees, but in the spring, they will be re-leafed 🙂 (rimshot)
9:09 am on March 25th, 2014
Hounds: Groan…But…Keep ’em Coming!
9:41 am on March 25th, 2014
Masquers, I travel to Alaska on Friday and come home on Monday. I will forward you my flight information later on today. Please track my travels and don’t let me get into the Southern Indian Ocean.
9:46 am on March 25th, 2014
Good luck, Barb!
BooBear’s Mom, Hoping that Truman is doing well.
I hope that Zoe will return to the blog. My hearts hurts for her and the boys. I hope GLAD will stop by too.
9:50 am on March 25th, 2014
Good morning all.
ML – we will be honored to wear purple for Rick.
BStover – it’s ok. We heard your unvoiced sigh.
MP’sM – you are going to have such a wonderful time. Please give certain puppies a hug from us – you’ll know which ones.
Dawson – we know you will be happy to be home.
Off to be out and about.
Later’gators
9:52 am on March 25th, 2014
Good morning, all. Glad Rick is coming home to Belle and ML. We understand purple is the support color, but we didn’t understand the pan can? Are we being dumb as usual?
Good luck, Barb! Mom does not understand why you want to go off to an office again. She cannot wait to stop that.
Speaking of which, she may not have a chance soon, as her company is beginning “right sourcing”. How’s that for terminology?
We are told that the treat budget is going down, for them and us. No more spending she says…NO MORE.
9:56 am on March 25th, 2014
T&G: LOL!
Barb: I am ignoring it. I think Spence chooses these “random” reviews on purpose.
I’m back in Michigan and there is a robin eating sunflower seeds in my garden.
10:16 am on March 25th, 2014
Howlers – ok we explain that pan can is pancreatic cancer. Now you have to explain “right sourcing”.
Good luck Barb. Take an apple for the teacher.
10:19 am on March 25th, 2014
The Awesome one has left us. sniff. She is over the middle of Montana now. Due to land 9:44 Pacific time. I guess that would be 12:44 Eastern time. I miss her already.
10:25 am on March 25th, 2014
Dear Rio,
That darn Staff is always going over to the fabric shop. We think she likes it over us also. She came back with some fuzzy fleece fabric that she though she could buy our love with. We tossed our cookies all over it. Snort. That will teach her.
We (Abbie and I) are glad that Rick is coming home. Home is best.
Barb, good luck at work again.
Mollypop’s Mom. I hope to hear fun stuff from Alaska. I hope it will be nice and warm there.
10:29 am on March 25th, 2014
Awww, Staff, You are trakking her too. sniff.
We promise to buy her a good lunch (BSD approved) and will send Dawson on her way with a full tummy.
10:31 am on March 25th, 2014
MPM: Whew…good to know we are not too late…will look for trakking info in the coming days.
10:51 am on March 25th, 2014
Ahhh, thanks T&G. We were being our normal dumb huskies, as we figured.
Right Sourcing is the new, supposedly less scary-sounding, term for outsourcing/off-shoring. Mom’s company is “partnering” with a contractor firm in another country, most likely India. She was told not to worry about her job. She may have her job moved to Asia, but they will train her in the job of their choice.
Oh, and nobody said anything about the new job paying the same as the old job. Heh.
11:16 am on March 25th, 2014
Hugs and prayers going out for Macy’s family today. Paws crossed that Rick does get to come home today.
When mom adopted me from Husky Rescue, I arrived wearing a purple collar. Mom went, “GAH”, and removed it. I told mom to find it and I can wear it in support of Rick.
Mollypop’s Mom, Not to worry. Masquers will keep your plane on its planned flight path.
I learned a new word today…right sourcing. Fellow Sibers, I do not like this word, but I am sure it will all work out okay for your mom.
11:31 am on March 25th, 2014
Siber: We do not like that word either and no matter how they try to change it and make it more welcoming it does no good.
Howlers: Maybe your mom can come up with a home biz plan. But then there goes the insurance. Gah.
11:37 am on March 25th, 2014
I sent my flight tracking info to the two emails that I have for Masquers and a copy to Rio, his backup.
11:42 am on March 25th, 2014
Masquers, good idea, except for one thing. Mom isn’t good at anything that would make a home biz.
Good news is that her company’s plan is a 6-year plan. So if we all buckle down and stop spending now, maybe she will be o.k.
11:46 am on March 25th, 2014
MPM: Just received the trakker info for your flight on Friday. Thanks!
11:54 am on March 25th, 2014
Howlers: I very much doubt your mom wouldn’t be good at anything to make a success at self-employment, but that’s just our humble opinion.
Tell her to go with whatever she loves. As Joseph Campbell would say…find your bliss.
WoooHooo! The Awesome One has arrived.
12:15 pm on March 25th, 2014
Yay, Dawson. Enjoy your lunch, you two!!!
12:31 pm on March 25th, 2014
Masquers – tell Dawson to pill your tail. She does it just right.
Howlers – “right sourcing” snort! Politically correct bullsh*t.
But we think your mom would be good at anything she wanted to do. She’s pretty amazing.
1:25 pm on March 25th, 2014
MollysMaw!….Copy that!…snort!
1:33 pm on March 25th, 2014
It’s all fun and games until somebody’s fur partner ends up in a cone. Heh!
3:07 pm on March 25th, 2014
Well, for something new and entirely different, it is snowing once again in the Nation’s capitol. However, this past weekend was a different story, with an absolutely beautiful day on Saturday for running in the woods or going for a swim (sorry, SiberH), as Teddy and Zeta experienced first hand.
3:08 pm on March 25th, 2014
Uno mas.
3:31 pm on March 25th, 2014
Snowed for about 2 hours this afternoon, but since we have had 3 days in the 70’s, nothing stuck.
3:44 pm on March 25th, 2014
Barb is back from her training session. Day did not start off well. First Sammy the Brat wouldn’t come in from outside and had to be bribed with chicken breast. Then the car battery was dead. Happened last week when she got back from out east, but after using the battery charger, all has been fine. Not today of course, on her first day of work she had to call in to say she would be late. God thing this guy knew her.
Barb got it started, rushed to Farm and Fleet and bought a new battery. From there on the day got better. Only 1 1/2 hours late for her 4 hour work day.
Howlers, Barb would never want to go back full time, but 14 hours per week is not exactly a killer schedule. Good money, and a great boss (polar opposite from Crazy Lady that she worked for out in Lena).
Hope Rick is back home by now. Thoughts are with him and Marylou.
3:57 pm on March 25th, 2014
Awwww, I love the pictures of Teddy and his girl! Zeta. Little Teddy is growing up.
3:59 pm on March 25th, 2014
Barb, you are a real Plunderer! Plunder on, girl!
4:09 pm on March 25th, 2014
Dawson en route from SeaTac to the Island turnoff. We Here are so Hungry……….
4:25 pm on March 25th, 2014
Awww The pictures are so CUTE!! I don’t know if Zeta planned it this way, but Teddy is in deeper water than she is.
4:36 pm on March 25th, 2014
Teddy: You and Zeta are the Cutest Couple!! Waiting with Paws crossed for the next Zeta & Teddy Film Preview.
4:44 pm on March 25th, 2014
Poor Bear…by the time he got to the restaurant we had finished eating and were wrapping up the to-go boxes.
4:45 pm on March 25th, 2014
Howlers’ maw: Finding your bliss! What great advice. We have several blesses: running, eating, thieving, napping. When we get caught, we are also quite partial to ignorance. Feel free to use any as your own.
4:55 pm on March 25th, 2014
Thieves! When in Doubt we ALWAYS Follow your Wise Counsel.
4:59 pm on March 25th, 2014
HOH says power is out…will post when able.
5:07 pm on March 25th, 2014
Great picture of Awesome and Nana!
5:09 pm on March 25th, 2014
Great pictures of Teddy and his gal Zeta. Or is it Zeta and her boy Teddy? Either way…
Also, Nana and Dawson both look great, and very very happy.
Bliss…we think Mom’s blisses are: ride Annie, eat, play with us, eat, hang out with chicks, eat, nap with T.C., repeat. Will that work for a home biz?
5:09 pm on March 25th, 2014
First she makes Teddy run behind her, now she makes him stand in the deep water. What a gentleman he is!
Great picture of Nana and Dawson. She is wearing purple. Looks good on you Dawson. I know she likes Mexican food, looks like Nana does too.
Down to 18 tonight, but 40s tomorrow, then 60s by the weekend. Come on Spring!
5:52 pm on March 25th, 2014
We love all these pictures. And we love Mexican food.
Here’s an embarrassing story for you – after most of the P I G’s left, Sharon was here for one more day. We asked her what her favorite food was, so we could take her for a nice lunch. She said Italian, and the only good Italian place around here is only open for dinner. So she picked Mexican, and we knew exactly where to take her – this great little hope-in-the-wall place owned by a lovely Mexican family. The salsa and tortillas are fresh, and the cheese is real Mexican queso. So we went all the way there, only to find them closed for vacation. Sharon was so gracious, and patient. She picked shrimp as her next favorite – at least that one I knew we could get. So we did have a nice seafood lunch, and I got over being red-faced.
Barb – if we had a first day at work that started like yours, we would have just gone back to bed!
6:14 pm on March 25th, 2014
Hello Everyone–I’m late catching up but love the idea of laying on of paws for Rick. Conan (in purple collar), Pretty and Edgar ask if they can pawticipate asynchronously from a remote location.
HOH–Wet her plants! Re-leafed!Puns are like the warming months of the year–summer pleasant, summer not.
Everyone’s snow pictures are beautiful, same for all pics of members of the Nation, and I thank you for sharing them.
Prayers and bright blessings for all, especially Rick and family, everyone travelling, and anyone who may be troubled by bed pugs.
What news on the wallpaper front?
6:17 pm on March 25th, 2014
We’re back. No snow accumulation but windy so maybe a tree down. No need for lights,yet but had candles and lanterns at the ready and gas log and wood-burner going as it is chilly here.
Masquers, thanks for relaying info and going out to lunch with Dawson. Y’all look awesome!
Teddy and Zeta fotos are phantastic 🙂
B&M (and Lucy and Sammy), glad you survived day 1.
OH’s mom. you have lots of talent and knowledge. Don’t doubt yourself.
7:12 pm on March 25th, 2014
Howlers’ Mom – you could collaborate with Wose on a Snowhook book. We’d all buy it. Promise.
The parentals are finally in the 21st century with iphone and ipaw and are also lost in the woods of Apple. Who remembers all those passwords?!
Thinking ‘specially of ML and Rick. And warm thoughts to all Plunderers.
xoxo
7:25 pm on March 25th, 2014
Whew!
On a break from reading the book, Caterpillars and Butterflies to Bijou. Turns out she has been to a butterfly garden a couple times and knows everything about butterflies that her Grandma had forgotten years ago. She loves the glow in the dark butterfly stickers.
7:27 pm on March 25th, 2014
woo hoo BlueKat!
the Storyteller’s Nook died, so Mama gave him her old notebook, and is trying to teach him how to manipulate that. Right now there is a lot of laughter involved.
Mama is fighting off some kind of bug, so she says she is going to bed early – g’night all.
7:30 pm on March 25th, 2014
Bluecat, it’s important to have difficult passwords and for each account’s password to be different. You can write them all in a little notebook or you can use a free software like Dashlane.
Maybe the most important password is the one to your email. If that falls into the wrong hands, and then those wrong hands can try to sign on to one of your financial accounts, they just say they forgot the password and it gets sent to your email account which they can access.
7:37 pm on March 25th, 2014
I am finishing off the leftover chile relleno from lunch with Nana. I’m very happy to have been able to meet up with her for the 3rd time. My son recommends a stop for a future meeting- a state park only a few miles from her house where there are little cabins for rent on the water. Nana seconds the recommendation.
7:52 pm on March 25th, 2014
Dawson: We look forward to our next meeting. ^..^
7:57 pm on March 25th, 2014
Dawson, Your Plunderer passport must be full, full,full!
8:04 pm on March 25th, 2014
Passport!….My passport is plumb empty…sniff!…This stinks.
8:05 pm on March 25th, 2014
Dawson!….And Nana!…Nana and Dawson!…grunt!…I’m beginning to think those two are Sisters…chuffle!
8:19 pm on March 25th, 2014
Rio: They are Sisters in Spirit by gosh by golly.
8:21 pm on March 25th, 2014
Rio, you were sitting right here in my living room. You just didn’t have your passport with you probably because it was lost during the blurring. If you will mail it to me Loulou will sign it and send it back to you.
8:22 pm on March 25th, 2014
Rio: We must figure out a way to Get You Out of Your Backyard.
Consultation with the Thieves is in Order.
8:22 pm on March 25th, 2014
Dawson, How did the chile rellenos compare to the ones you had in Buffalo? Jack and Lyla liked that book too. It was a big hit.
Barb is trying very hard to stay awake. It is so early, but she had a rough day and offered to go back for a couple hours tomorrow, since his MWF girl is off for her kid’s spring break.
We are crashing soon.
8:24 pm on March 25th, 2014
Let the laying on of paws commence! It took us a while to convince Beau that we were not stealing him, but borrowing him after listening to a long sermon centered around a lot of thou-shall-nots. They did include not stealing and killing, but it wasn’t the standard issue top ten. We are guilty of most of them like thou shall not covet an evil pug’s food unless you really want it.
8:25 pm on March 25th, 2014
MollysMaw!…I was far too busy trying to avoid Basil to remember anything about passports and what-nots…sniff!…I’m not sure I left LuLu on good terms. I ate all her kibble when she was not looking…snort!
8:25 pm on March 25th, 2014
There ya go, Riö. MPM has it covered.
8:31 pm on March 25th, 2014
Hey there Dawson,
There is a cute little eyeglass holder shaped like a skinny book that says Harry Potter on the front. It is sitting on the dining room table. Does that sound like something you might have owned at some past time? Shall I send it to you or keep it here. There are glasses in it.
8:39 pm on March 25th, 2014
Rio, you did something, maybe eating all Loulou’s food, to have her viciously attack you. I’m sorry about that. Hope the Band-Aids helped. But you were here and you need to send your passport to have it verified. Very important.
8:44 pm on March 25th, 2014
Skeptical!…I bet my friend will be skeptical about me really being there as she thought that balloon look-alike was me…heh!heh!…I must figure out a way to find that passport and mail it to
LuLu you, MollysMaw…snorkel!8:44 pm on March 25th, 2014
Rick looked like he had been waiting for us when we arrived. He didnt seemed surprised in the slightest. The medical staff on the other paw were taken aback when two thieves and a black pug blurred into a hospital room. There is a joke in there somewhere but we can’t find it.
8:45 pm on March 25th, 2014
Again!….I must figure out a way to find that passport and mail it to
LuLuYou, MollysMaw…snorkel!8:46 pm on March 25th, 2014
Beau!…Oh hey, now there is a Balloon-Look-alike of Beau sitting here…heh!heh!sneeze!
8:50 pm on March 25th, 2014
Someone Here is Tired so G’Night My Friends.
9:02 pm on March 25th, 2014
Bear!….Watching Dawson eat Mexican food would tire anybody out…snort!
9:36 pm on March 25th, 2014
Staff: Those are my reading glasses. I have only used them about twice since I got them so just hang onto them. Hmmm. Put them in a safe place, heh.
Barb & Maggie: The chile rellenos were very different from each other but both excellent.
Rio: Staff and I had better sign your passport as well. And Turtleman.
Your friend is a sister of mine too.
Eating that Mexican food has tired me out too (Either that or watching Bijou flit around being a butterfly fairy).
9:39 pm on March 25th, 2014
Butterflies!….Don’t get me started…grunt!…Dawson if Staff puts your special glasses in a “safe” place, you will never see them again…snort!
9:42 pm on March 25th, 2014
We thought setting the bible next to balloon-Beau was a nice touch.
9:51 pm on March 25th, 2014
Thieves!…Yes, the Bible beside Balloon-Beau is keeping him upright, but usually he is down sleeping….heh!heh!…Someone is starting to notice….sniff!sniff!
9:52 pm on March 25th, 2014
Rio: Quick! Create a room clearing diversion or we’ll be found out!
9:53 pm on March 25th, 2014
Gah!….Balloon-Beau just POPPED!…Yeeep!…The Thieves filled him too full of hot-air. Youse guys better get the real Beau back here before roll-call tonight…snort!gasp!
10:04 pm on March 25th, 2014
Sidenote….sniffle!….Any of youse guys watching “The Good wife” this season?…OMDAWG!….My friend is beside herself. This cannot “be”….wheeze!
10:09 pm on March 25th, 2014
Commader: Yeep! Beau is refusing to be blurred back home. He says Rick needs him. Can we send Junior to fill in for Beau? They are both black and we are sure Junior can make up scripture on a need to preach basis just like Beau.
10:20 pm on March 25th, 2014
Uhhhhhhhh!…The old ones are old but Not That Old to be fooled by an Alaskan Husky impersonating a fat black pug…sniff!…Beau is no Junior and Junior is no Beau…grunt!…So sure send Junior on over…snort!…I will make him squeeze into Beau’s cold hard bed for now. But you better get Beau, the real Beau, back here before 6:00am tomorrow morning…wheeze!…My friend always washes our pug faces while she is getting ready for the busy-place…snuffle-snort!phooey!…Junior will probably not be expecting that tomorrow…heh!heh!…Neither will my friend.
10:22 pm on March 25th, 2014
What the…!?!?! One minute I was eating, nay savoring a fish head and next thing I know I’m sitting here between Senior and a Bible. Life doesn’t get much better than this, let me tell youse.
10:25 pm on March 25th, 2014
Bed!…..I am off to bed. I hope Junior arrives “quietly”…heh!heh!…Someone sleeps very lightly and it isn’t my friend. Once she is out, she is Out!Out!Out! so no bother there. But mother is a very lite sleeper. I do not think she really ever sleeps…sniff! …I bet Beau is sleeping on Rick’s bed right now. All turned over on his back with his four legs up in the air…heh!heh!…If he is not in bed by now he will be a very mad pug…grunt!
10:27 pm on March 25th, 2014
Whoa!…I sent my comment and Junior was here!…snort!…Off to bed we go Junior. BE QUIET!…sniff!sniff!….That fish head smells like gagga…gah!…Please swallow it whole…gasp!
10:28 pm on March 25th, 2014
Rio: Junior is blurring as we speak. We instructed him to look for the cold, soft bed without any baseball toys. And, if the other-one-not-your-Friend finds him, we have instructed him to ask what she is doing in his house.
Beau has all fours in the air and is snoring loudly. Rick doesn’t seem to mind.
Nighty nutter butters.
10:29 pm on March 25th, 2014
Bed!….Beau’s bed is a bit small and hard and cold. But I think you will be comfortable here tonight…snort!…If you need anything, do not make it known….grunt!…Goodnight Son! Sleep Tight!…snorkel!
10:31 pm on March 25th, 2014
Don’t let the sledpugs bite.
11:59 pm on March 25th, 2014
ML: You and yours are tucked securely under the Quilt. Please know you haven’t left our prayers. Send the Thieves home if they are too much trouble. Bless them—they mean well. Head bumps and comforting mama licks.
4:25 am on March 26th, 2014
I hope the thieves and Beau can make do on little sleep. Rick only stays put for an hour or so at a time. Must…sleep…now…
7:12 am on March 26th, 2014
ML: We have found that Beau needs his sleep and a lot of it. There are several of us from the kennel taking it in turns to look after you and Rick.
