Very lightening. Good for the soul. Thank you Spencer Quinn for your stories. I have several of his recordings and relisten to them when I need some “happy.” – Beep52 on Dog On It.

Gooood morning, everyone. Sounds like Beep52 likes OFA. Just peeking out from under the quilt to say that yesterday felt like an Arlo Guthrie day (for those of you who might have a bit more life experience). I was inspected, injected, detected and neglected. BBL š
9:07 am on August 8th, 2013
“Lightening”?
Good morning all.
9:16 am on August 8th, 2013
HRH B: HOH asked that same question. Thank you for the clarification.
9:18 am on August 8th, 2013
Sharon: I hope that you start feeling better.
9:29 am on August 8th, 2013
Good morning. Stay under the quilt as long as needed, HOH.
We here are afraid of lightning.
9:31 am on August 8th, 2013
G’Day to Some of Youse & G’night to others, namely LizF in Oz.
Also Hello to Kate the Great in FOC and Beep52 Thanks for the Lightening Review.
O’Howlers: We are afraid too.
Nice Sunny Day here. Looking forward to it.
Hounds Mom, Feel Better Soon.
9:32 am on August 8th, 2013
BStover: You know, like lightening or heavyening.
HOH: Peeking only. Stay where you are.
Sunflowers and tomatoes report. Out of the zillion sunflower seeds I planted only two survived the bunnies. The largest and most magnificent of the two succumbed to the storm. The stem was broke off about a meter below the flower head.(sob) I have brought in inside and into water in hopes the flower may actually bloom. The miniature sunflowers that I bought at the farmer’s market were excellent because they got multiple blooms. But they only lasted about a day before the flower petals were picked off and eaten, the middles also eaten or the whole flower plucked and carried away by birds, squirrels and maybe bunnies.
The tomatoes are prolific. My favorites (the Paul Robesons are not quite ready yet) are the little yellow cherry tomatoes called “sungold”. Yummy.
9:53 am on August 8th, 2013
Good morning. We didn’t quite get the lightening either.
Hope you are felling better today Sharon.
Dawson, the Paul R tomatoes will always have green shoulders, even when they are ripe. We check the bottoms for color and softness. The very top just gets cut off and discarded.
Sorry to hear about your wind damage. Is the fallen tree getting cleaned up?
9:55 am on August 8th, 2013
Speaking of reviews…there’s a good one over on the right.
Dawson: Sunflowers are the most magnificent of flowers. Sorry to hear of the demise of your best. That must have been some storm!
Tomatoes plants here are bent over like old crones with fruit tiny and green, but we have high hopes.
Now…off to get wonderfluffed…BBL
10:12 am on August 8th, 2013
I’ll agree with “”, but I am not sure about “lightening”.
Sharon, Hope you get to feeling better soon.
Bear, Welcome back. We missed you.
Good Morning All
10:15 am on August 8th, 2013
carpola…That should be I agree with “good for the soul”
10:19 am on August 8th, 2013
Dawson is making me laugh. Try saying “heavyening” three times fast.
10:43 am on August 8th, 2013
BStover: I had trouble saying it once.
B&M: No tree clean up has been done yet except for the tree top pruning I did in order to be able to use the front door.
I’m going to do some yard work.
10:45 am on August 8th, 2013
Buffalo had a storm in 2006 that brought all the trees down. I sobbed when I saw my smashed Japanese tree peony.
11:07 am on August 8th, 2013
I have been tracking the garden this year. This is May.
11:09 am on August 8th, 2013
I have been tracking the garden this year. This is July 2nd.
About 5 weeks after the first one. The first one was May 26th.
11:14 am on August 8th, 2013
And this one is today. I took it because of the talk of sunflowers. Mr.Staff planted some and the squirrels planted others.
The Squirrel planted ones are taller and ugly. They are known as ‘oilers’ around here. The shorter ones have multiple heads with a pretty dark center and are only supposed to get 2 feet tall. They are about 3 feet really. They are a floral variety that seduced Mr.Staff with the picture on the cover of the seed packet. He likes flowers with big blooms. He is trying to talk me into Dahlia’s. I will stick to the Zinnia’s.
11:15 am on August 8th, 2013
Mollypop’s Mom: That is a lovely peony.
My Mom’s Rhododendron Tree is under the big Maple that is down in our front yard. I don’t see how it can survive. Turtleman is looking for a friend with a chain saw so something might be done today.
It has started sprinkling so I decided to wait on yard work.
11:17 am on August 8th, 2013
Staff: Your garden is beautiful!
11:22 am on August 8th, 2013
I am wishing my garden looked as beautiful as Staff’s and Mr. Staff’s.
Humidity level today is 95%. We’re moving slow today.
Here are two pictures of some of our flowers.
11:23 am on August 8th, 2013
Dawson, we have a neighbor who heats by wood. He is taking the limbs and trunk of the old Maple tree.
11:34 am on August 8th, 2013
Random things from FaceBook.
11:35 am on August 8th, 2013
B.Stover, any comments?

And a link for Alaskans in the summer . . (though, we could use them here too!)

11:51 am on August 8th, 2013
Aunt M, I am crying for your smashed peonies.
Also: I know you would want me to go to Alaska with Mom, so I plan on removing her big, fat, cold-weather gear from her suitcase, and climb on in. When she gets to Alaska and finds me instead of all that gear, she won’t mind a bit. You see, I am very good at keeping her warm without any help from her gear.
11:52 am on August 8th, 2013
Great posts, Melanie. Love the flowers, and Here Spot is funny!
Since we are doing flowers today, here is a picture of the front flower bed that Barb did this summer. Had old bushes torn out of the front and planted a combo of perennials and annuals. We added the petunias for an extra punch of color. One of the petunias has about 50 flowers on it!
12:15 pm on August 8th, 2013
You guys all have beeeeautiful flowers. Mom tries, but something always happens…
12:47 pm on August 8th, 2013
Your gardens are beautiful!
Kat: I’m with you…”something always happens”.
Siber: What about moi? Did you miss me, me, me too?
12:53 pm on August 8th, 2013
Beautiful pictures of gardens and flowers.
Melanie: “Spot” made me laugh. Many Greek words were changed into Latin. The first one I think of is Odysseus turning into Ulysses.
12:58 pm on August 8th, 2013
Please ignore the commode in the background.
The “photographer” is obviously clueless.
1:17 pm on August 8th, 2013
Today I got 4 more envelopes back in the mail. Two from Barb & Maggie (one with a forward stamp), one from Steve (Go Tigers!), and one from Mollypop’s Mom (with Mollypop stamps with her fierce poufy tail!!). Thank you. It is so interesting to see all the different postmark stamps. Even the ones which I sent out all at the same time have different postmark stamps, some of them quite lousy. I also received an envelope from Spencer Quinn but he was given too much advice on what and how to send the envelope back that he got confused and sent me a business card instead. Heh, heh. I love it. Thank you SQ. See you in Alaska? I’ll go if you go.
1:20 pm on August 8th, 2013
Hi Sam.
As long as the “clueless” one takes good care of you, the commode is not an issue.
1:41 pm on August 8th, 2013
Masquers, Of course I missed you.
Kat? Aren’t you what happened to the flowers?
Sam is a pretty kat. I’ll only say this once.
1:50 pm on August 8th, 2013
Awesome One: Are we supposed to Return Our Envelopes to youse?
1:54 pm on August 8th, 2013
BearSpiritDog: Yes. By the way, I mailed your padfolio a few days ago.
1:59 pm on August 8th, 2013
Dawson: Thank Dog I saved the envelope! Looking forward to receiving the package.
2:02 pm on August 8th, 2013
Dawson: However…Please Repeat the Instructions……….My Memory is short.
2:05 pm on August 8th, 2013
Sam is very regal.
2:06 pm on August 8th, 2013
Dawson, That is quite a promise. If Spence goes, you will go? We are going to hold you to that!
Rosenfelt’s book is really good. It is partially about making their move from California to Maine with 25 dogs, 3 RV’s and 11 volunteers, but he also writes about some of the 300 dogs they have had as pets in the last 20 years. They have rescued and placed about 4,000 dogs, but many were not considered highly adoptable, so they simply kept them. I think I see some of David in Andy Carpenter, and some of his wife Debbie in Andy’s long term girlfirend, Laurie. The book is written in typical Rosenfelt style, which is to say very comical at times.
2:12 pm on August 8th, 2013
Spence: Alaska? If you go I Guarantee there will be a whole lot more of the Plunderers Attempting the Journey….For Reals.
2:13 pm on August 8th, 2013
Is 2014 Iditarod to be the Grand Reunion?

2:42 pm on August 8th, 2013
Rose: Of course. It’s shark week!
2:44 pm on August 8th, 2013
I like Sam and Cousin Maya.
Siber, maybe…
3:23 pm on August 8th, 2013
Cousin Maya looks extremely comfortable.

Back from errands . .
I hate errands
Errands aren’t for me
I hate errands
They are as dumb as dumb can be.
Merrily I come back home
Come back home
Come back home
Merrily I come back home
Tourists GET OUT OF THE WAY !
3:57 pm on August 8th, 2013
Sam is looking good! You don’t even notice the background.
I will catch up with everything later. Need a rest.
I will say that I had four of my auction items arrive today! It’s like Christmas. Too bad I won’t be keeping any of them.
4:07 pm on August 8th, 2013
That puppy is adorable!
The shark mentioned had been dead for awhile and evidently was very smelly.

5:58 pm on August 8th, 2013
Broadchurch is on On Demand. It’s excellent.
6:17 pm on August 8th, 2013
B: We agree!
Well…So far today I have lost (misplaced) part of my lunch and a garment.
How in Dog’s name could this have happened?
It Boggles the Mind.
6:26 pm on August 8th, 2013
BearSpiritDog: Thanks for posting that link. Interesting show.
6:26 pm on August 8th, 2013
Masquers: Of course, Shark Week! Perhaps we had a Sharknado here in New York!
Are you wonderfluffed? You must be especially handsome! May we see pictures?
6:33 pm on August 8th, 2013
Love Kate the Great, and Maya is adorable. RIO’s friend will probably have to quill something in Rio’s likeness.
I am peeking from under the quilt too. Mama Luna and I convinced Belle Starr my VBFF, to blur back home. I do believe that a certain Giant will be having ice cream cake next week! Sparkles are needed on the cake.
6:33 pm on August 8th, 2013
BearSpiritDog, I will look at those links tomorrow.
Ummm, easily on the losing stuff. I lost my cane two days ago. I decided I would see if I really needed it in the house. You know, like having a crutch. Snicker.
2 days later? I’m not using the cane! My muscles are not happy with going back the way they are supposed to go. I do use the walking poles when I go for my walk.
I am not foolhardy.
6:36 pm on August 8th, 2013
Rose: Photos! Hmm…now where’s that camera?
6:54 pm on August 8th, 2013
Peek-a-boo, just peeking out from under the quilt for an update. doing a bit better each day but a “clear, liquid diet”???? GAH š Get to eat again on Sunday and I live to eat, not eat to live. going under the quilt again.
6:54 pm on August 8th, 2013
Masquers: Camera shy? Me too!
The actress Karen Black has died, as well as one of the Munchkins from my favorite movie ” The Wizard of Oz”.
6:56 pm on August 8th, 2013
Sharon, hope you are tip-top soon!
6:57 pm on August 8th, 2013
BearSpiritDog: Thanks for posting that link. Interesting show.
You can give me the envelope back in person if you want to. š
6:59 pm on August 8th, 2013
Oops. A double Dawson plus extras.
7:21 pm on August 8th, 2013
Melanie: Good to know we are not alone. I found my Lunch…you will find your Cane.
Dawson: Sounds like a Plan. š

Just got in from another 8.5 hour nightmare trip to Anchorage with panting dog.
8:07 pm on August 8th, 2013
Greetings from show land.
First day is always a little slow, but we still ended up with a pretty good day. We are feeling blessed for a couple of reasons:
1.Our booth is the first one as one enters the show, and the sunlight coming in the glass ceiling makes our booth just glow,
2. This is an Native American museum, so many of the customers coming to the museum are already predisposed to Indian items- no sales pitch needed,
3. The gift shop at the museum has not been very successful, and therefore is not well stocked. And we are. Viola! Customers shop with US after visiting the museum.
The Hawaiian group is wonderful. The is songs are lovely and their two dancers move as gracefully as water rippling into shore.
And tomorrow – the museum cafe is featuring antelope burgers. Can’t wait to try them.
We enjoyed all the pics. Maya is very cute as is Sam. Gardens are lovely and Facebook photos and such are funny.
Going to bed now to be ready for another big day tomorrow.
8:22 pm on August 8th, 2013
Golinka: We are picturing Your Booth the Crowning Jewel of the Show. Paws crossed for the Best Sales Ever.
9:17 pm on August 8th, 2013
It is poring kats and dogs here! We have been stuck in our house all day and night.
T&g’s mama: I am very happy that this is a good show for you.
HOH, no eating? Gah!
9:17 pm on August 8th, 2013
Antelope burgers! We would try those. I wonder if they taste like deer meat. Let us know.
Now time to say nighty noodles. See you tomorrow. Sweet dreams everyone.
9:22 pm on August 8th, 2013
Almost forgot! It’s WorldKatDay.
9:30 pm on August 8th, 2013
Looks like Riƶ’s friend is working late again…..hope he got my SDD.
9:31 pm on August 8th, 2013
Congrats to the Kats of Chet’s Blog!
I am going to bed. I would like to sleep tonight. Haven’t slept for two . .sigh.
TTFN
9:31 pm on August 8th, 2013
Thanks, Melanie.
9:43 pm on August 8th, 2013
Home!…Someone is home and then we all had steak for supper…slurp!….Then we all had to go out on the patio for ages because it is a nice cool evening…grunt!…But all is well with the world tonight because my friend is home…snuffle!
9:45 pm on August 8th, 2013
Football!?…grunt!….What is this? We are watching a football game instead of baseball…wheeze!…No baseball tonight, but that does not mean I want to watch Football! Well, Beau is happy, dammit!….grump!
9:45 pm on August 8th, 2013
Oh right. Today is world cat Day. Isn’t every day world cat Day? Give me a break.
9:49 pm on August 8th, 2013
Sammie: Don’t get all poodled up now. You know you’re the princess.
9:50 pm on August 8th, 2013
World!…Kat-day?….grunt!…Unbelievable. What did they do to deserve a World Day?…sniff!
9:52 pm on August 8th, 2013
Given our druthers, we would love to see everyday as Whirled Kat Day.
Warm up the blender, we got Wrotten Kata to whirl!
9:52 pm on August 8th, 2013
Broadchurch!…. My friend says she is not quite ready for football to begin so we are going to watch that Broadchurch show Stover talked about…snort!snort!
9:53 pm on August 8th, 2013
And don’t forget…we were worshiped in ancient Egypt.
9:54 pm on August 8th, 2013
T&G: No!
9:58 pm on August 8th, 2013
Masquers – tee hee.
But honestly, you don’t have to live with our stinking, Wrotten Kats. I tell y, they are just awful, not like sweet BlueCat or you.
10:06 pm on August 8th, 2013
T&G: Yes, we all know how you suffer (although not in silence).
BlueCat, where are you?
10:15 pm on August 8th, 2013
Where is Macy?
10:15 pm on August 8th, 2013
Going to bed. ‘Night, all.
10:24 pm on August 8th, 2013
Silence!….Maskers, what is this ‘suffering in silence’ thing you speak of?…sniff!…I do not understand that concept one bit…grunt!
10:25 pm on August 8th, 2013
Good night, BlueCat. Good night all.
10:25 pm on August 8th, 2013
Golinka!….Sounds like all of Golinka’s hard work is going to pay off big time…snort!snort!… Back to Broadchurch – very good so far!…sneeze!
10:27 pm on August 8th, 2013
Damit! My avatar…where is it?
Riƶ: Frankly I do not understand it either. A good yowl is good for the soul.
10:30 pm on August 8th, 2013
Snort!…I just read Dawson’s post about ole pointy head Spencer sending in a Business Card instead of a returned stamp…Funny!Funny!Funny!…chorkel!…This story proves my point about Spencer but I am trying to figure out why…heh!heh!
10:35 pm on August 8th, 2013
10:35 pm on August 8th, 2013
Rio: The Hope is Broadchurch will fill the Gap between shows.
We will need further instructions on The Return Stamp or Someone Here will be making a Faux Paw to rival that of Spence.
10:37 pm on August 8th, 2013
Staff: Good Grief. YOU’RE telling Kat Jokes?
10:41 pm on August 8th, 2013
Staff!….heh!snort!heh!…That is a keeper!…chorkel!…You are still on a roll!…heh!
10:43 pm on August 8th, 2013
Bear, Check your SDD.
Let me know if that is not enough instructions.
10:49 pm on August 8th, 2013
Staff!…Too many instructions and Bear will be post-marking Maskers and mailing him back to Dawson!…snort!…heh!
10:54 pm on August 8th, 2013
Staff: Thank you for The Instructions. I will comply.
11:05 pm on August 8th, 2013
Bear!…Are youse and Maskers home for good now?…sniff!…Or do we have to store your Boutique Item longer…grunt!…Your storage fees are growing by the minute you know – sort of like a taxi’s meter…heh!
11:07 pm on August 8th, 2013
Rio, You mean that is NOT what he is supposed to do. I told him that mailing kats is what Dawson wanted. I think Macy told me that.
11:07 pm on August 8th, 2013
Rio: Please check your SDD or my Lady will be in a bad mood. Okay, she won’t really, but hop to and check it quick like a little puggy.
11:10 pm on August 8th, 2013
Mr Tenzing!….grunt!…I just closed my SDD…sniff!…I waited and waited and now you tell me to finally check it – well Grump!…sniff!
11:13 pm on August 8th, 2013
Rio: We Are Here for a while. A trip may be planned to fly to San Francisco…but that is not until the end of September or October. So Stop That Meter and Send My Way.
11:20 pm on August 8th, 2013
Mr Tenzing!…burp! back at cha’ but I am logged off so do not Belch or Cough or Spit back…grunt!
11:22 pm on August 8th, 2013
Goodnight!…All!…yawn!…It was a big, big day here but life will get back to normal soon…chuffle!…Someone says another week like this and she will need to retire early…grunt!
11:26 pm on August 8th, 2013
Good Night Here Too.
11:27 pm on August 8th, 2013
I will keep my harmonies to myself. My lady is beat—it was another 12 hour day and she has a repeat of it tomorrow.
Night all youse. Quilt up where needed.

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting
my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup?
I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% certain.
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
