Random Amazon Review We Like
Chet and Bernie mysteries are my new love… characters are well developed and the storylines are great. I’ve read three so far and can’t wait for more…
– Victoria Heckman on Dog On It.
Welcome Dirty Harry (and wasn’t there a Cool Paw Luke quite recently?) Here’s Dirty Harry:

Goood morning, everyone! Welcome Dirty Harry.
We made it throught another weekend intact 🙂 Let’s have a merciful Monday.
8:41 am on August 19th, 2013
Good morning all. Dirty Harry is cute in a scruffy sort of way.
We have tomatoes up the ying yang, as Chet would say.
9:04 am on August 19th, 2013
Welcome, Dirty Harry.
Good morning all.
9:10 am on August 19th, 2013
Yawn…good morning everyone. I’m at the airport waiting to board. My Internet access may be limited for the next few days. I’ll be thinking of all youse.
9:27 am on August 19th, 2013
SB: Safe trip. DO NOT overdo. Know you are young and invincible, but… You cannot burn the candle @ both ends w/o getting singed.
9:44 am on August 19th, 2013
Barb & B: Does it ever feel like you are the only one awake in the whole wide world (whirled)? Am I turning into another Rio?
9:47 am on August 19th, 2013
Good Morning, Good Morning!
Dirty Harry, That’s quite the nose you have.
Almost a Ripe Tomato here…Almost!
HOunds: Good name for this Monday.
SnowBella: Safe Travels!
9:59 am on August 19th, 2013
Good jet-lagged morning all.
The trip was wonderful, literally, filled with wonder and a different view around every mountain. Alaska beauty is almost overpowering. One of our guides said it well: Alaska enters your heart and won’t let go. It tugs at you until you return…
Mom will post pictures after she gets organized. That may take some time.
Loved the e-story. I like getting to know Chet better with each new work. Good job, Spence.
I missed you guys. Today will be laundry day and catch-up-with-the-blog day. Later, ‘gators.
10:06 am on August 19th, 2013
Rio: I’ve seen the previews of Luther but I haven’t watched it yet.
10:10 am on August 19th, 2013
Sharon: I’ve never had the feeling of being the only one awake probably because I’m not a morning person and don’t get up early.
10:39 am on August 19th, 2013
Ah,B: you do not have a 7 month old alarm clock that awakens you at 6..hit her snooze, 6:30, hit her snooze again, 6:45. Guess she’s afraid we’ll miss the 8 a.m. “baby breakfast”. :/
10:42 am on August 19th, 2013
I haven’t set the alarm since retiring. What is “baby breakfast”?
10:54 am on August 19th, 2013
To answer Rio’s question from yesterday, no I don’t think Chicken Pot Pie made the Dishlickers cookbook. I will tell you how Barbie makes it if you are interested.
11:02 am on August 19th, 2013
We continue to be Amazed that Under the Dome is available in HD and commercial free on Amazon Prime.
Barb&Magpie: Chicken Pot Pie? Are we interested? Yes!!!
11:15 am on August 19th, 2013
HRH B: It is when we feed the “babies” (aka dogs).
11:21 am on August 19th, 2013
The Pack Alarm works later and later as they grow older. snicker.
Howdy to Dirty
HairyHarry!This morning I have mailed DAWSON’S ENVELOPE! Yeaaaaaaaaaa . .
We then struck out on our major areas to walk the dogs. Pool time for Pups later today. Us? Not so much. Cold.
Time to be a Momager.
11:24 am on August 19th, 2013
Welcome back Bluekat!! Glad you had a nice trip.
Good Morning Everyone!
11:42 am on August 19th, 2013
This is Laughing Out Loud Funny!
11:56 am on August 19th, 2013
Melanie: Haven’t laughed that hard in a while 🙂
11:59 am on August 19th, 2013
Melanie, ditto to what HOH said. That is funny!! I am going to show it to dad. I’m still laughing.
12:14 pm on August 19th, 2013
Bluecat, welcome back, looking forward to pictures soon.
BSD, Chicken Pot Pie, a little labor insensive, but worth it.
Put whole chicken in heavy cast iron pot, partially cover with organic chicken broth. We like to use a stewing hen if possible, as there is more fat and the meat is more tasty. If using a regular fryer, add a little butter on top of the chicken. Cook about 2-3 hours in 325 degree oven in covered pot. Less time required for fryer. Remove chicken, set aside and remove all meat from bones after chicken has cooled.
Thicken liquid to make a gravy (flour or corn starch, your choice). Add veggies of your choice and the diced chicken meat. We use potatoes, carrots, beans and corn. You can also use the frozen mixed veggies and just add your own diced potatoes. Partially cook, 15-20 minutes, then put mixture into casserole dishes. Add pie crust or bisquick biscuits to the top and bake @ 350 till topping is done. One whole 3-4 lb chicken will make enough for 2 or 3 casserole dishes, serving 6-8.
12:50 pm on August 19th, 2013
Wake-up Time here is 5:55. Why? Dog only knows. Actually the true wake-up time is 4-ish, but then we hit the mental snooze button for some added zzzs.
Melanie: LOL! BTW: #2 son once worked for FED-X so these answers sound perfectly normal to us here.
Thank You, Barb&Magpie. The Recipe will be copied and added to our Dishlickers Cookbook.
1:19 pm on August 19th, 2013
G&BB: Love hearing that Gus is getting lots of loving. You are in our thoughts.
B: I quite agree. Retirees don’t need no stinking alarm clocks.
Welcome back Blukat! Can’t wait to see the photos.
1:23 pm on August 19th, 2013
Bluecat: Alaska’s beauty is almost indescribable. Glad you had a great adventure and are home safe and sound.
HOH: yes, animals are the best alarm clocks with their wet littles noses. They even work when the power goes out in the middle of the night–they got me to work plenty of times without being late. However, the concept of weekends and sleeping in is hard for them to master.
1:36 pm on August 19th, 2013
If you want to hear an “alarm” just forget to feed moi breakfast on time. Heh. Staff knows what I’m talking about.
2:35 pm on August 19th, 2013
Melanie: Sent a test @ 2:34 on SDD. Pls check when you can.
2:40 pm on August 19th, 2013
Retirees that have a Husky that has to get to the dog park before the sun comes up in the summertime need an alarm clock. I keep telling mom to hang in there just a little bit longer. It will get cooler and she won’t have to get up quite so early.
2:41 pm on August 19th, 2013
Siber Mr. H: you crack us up!
3:02 pm on August 19th, 2013
Siber-H: Is there Anything better than seeing the Sun come up in the morning? You tell me. Wait…maybe Howling at the Moon.
3:05 pm on August 19th, 2013
BlueKat, tthat sounds like a great vacation.
Is that polite enough? Can I ask her about the pictures, NOW?Can’t wait to see your photos, when you are ready. what do you mean wait? Now, I want them NOW!HOH, will check as soon as I can move. Taken a bit of a restzzzzzzzz.
3:06 pm on August 19th, 2013
Darn. I spell strike wrong . . sigh
3:06 pm on August 19th, 2013
I give up.
3:11 pm on August 19th, 2013
Masquers, about seeing the sun coming up…mom would rather not have to see it come up EVERY morning. Me, I come home from the dog park and take a nice nap.
Mom does like the mornings when she can see the moon setting in the West
3:21 pm on August 19th, 2013
Melanie: I am laughing loudly at your posts…and not only the Pilot’s maintenance log.
BlueCat: Welcome back. I can’t wait to take a trip to Alaska via your pictures.
3:34 pm on August 19th, 2013
Melanie: TY.
4:06 pm on August 19th, 2013
Ah, bliss…listening to Miles…Sketches of Spain.
4:36 pm on August 19th, 2013
We are about to watch the last episode of New Tricks from last season. They will have a season this year, too!
Dinner: Lobster rolls, corn on the cob, and sliced avacado.
I may be able to think afer that!
5:09 pm on August 19th, 2013
I smell Bar-B-Qd Ribs!
5:13 pm on August 19th, 2013
What are lobster rolls?
5:39 pm on August 19th, 2013
Who/what is Miles and Sketches of Spain?
Siber-H: Lobster rolls are lobster served in a kind of bread or roll. They are very good.
6:14 pm on August 19th, 2013
HRH B: Miles should be the jazz musician Miles Davis and Sketches of Spain is an album he cut in the early ’60’s. Really smooth.
6:19 pm on August 19th, 2013
One of my all-time favorite albums…jazz or otherwise.
6:27 pm on August 19th, 2013
Thank you Sharon and Masquers. I’ll check it out.
6:33 pm on August 19th, 2013
Never Go Back…new Jack Reacher novel coming out September 3rd.
7:03 pm on August 19th, 2013
Stover, Thank you. They don’t have lobster rolls here. I would like them.
7:35 pm on August 19th, 2013
test
7:35 pm on August 19th, 2013
I love lobster, but have never had lobster rolls. Are they anything like salmon rolls? I would settle for some albacore tuna right now.
7:35 pm on August 19th, 2013

Sawyer Glacier
7:36 pm on August 19th, 2013
Blukat! A simultaneous post. Yay! Photos coming up.
7:37 pm on August 19th, 2013
Siber-H, the Pack would like to have them. We had to guard our dinners.
Mattie is convinced there is something across the river on the island. I don’t see anything, but her nose is usually correct.
7:38 pm on August 19th, 2013
Bluekat: beautiful! know it is only one and more will follow.Amazing 🙂
7:39 pm on August 19th, 2013
Awesome, BlueKat. Sure hope I get up there before it all melts . .
7:39 pm on August 19th, 2013
sea lions, kind of reminded me of Rio & Beau in their pugness

7:39 pm on August 19th, 2013
Blukat: Your photos are breathtaking, especially enlarged.
7:40 pm on August 19th, 2013
Okay. Done for the night. Don’t know why that one didn’t work.
7:46 pm on August 19th, 2013
7:51 pm on August 19th, 2013
Mom loved the colors in the water on the first foto.
8:02 pm on August 19th, 2013
BluKat!…snort!
8:33 pm on August 19th, 2013
Just finished supper. Now that it is really hot out I decided to make chicken soup with dumplings. I make the Polish dumplings. Soft and fluffy floating on top of the soup. Not the Norwegian ones that are hard and lumpy and sink. I also used potatoes, corn, carrots, onions and basil from our garden. The potatoes are HUGE this year. Must be the manure we put in the garden for the first time in about 15 years.
It was yummy and my tummy is full full full.
Mr.Staff makes Chicken potpie. But he uses boneless skinless chicken breasts. It would never ever get made if he had to go to all the work of roasting. It is good anyway it is made.
8:37 pm on August 19th, 2013
Buuurrp!….We just got done with eating our supper…snort!…Spicy chicken stir-fry from left-over fajitas…heh!heh!…Beau likes it spicy. He gobbled up the chicken and then licked his bowl clean. I had to gobble up my food too so he wouldn’t get any ideas about licking my bowl out…grunt!
BluKat!…I do not resemble a Sea Lion…grunt!…You are making stuff up now….heh!
8:42 pm on August 19th, 2013
Bluekat, Thank you for the photos!
8:47 pm on August 19th, 2013
Staff, tell Mr. Staff that he should try some boneless thighs too. They are more tasty than breasts and less expensive. Still the whole chicken is even better.
Love the pictures from Bluekat. Wonderful.
Now, off to watch Major Crimes, season finale.
8:48 pm on August 19th, 2013
Cooler than usual here today, so mom made white chicken chili. Light color looks funny but she does it spicy.
8:55 pm on August 19th, 2013
Oh BlueCat – such lovely pictures. And we do agree with the sea lion/Pug correlation. Only thing is, sea lions don’t have curly tails. But they do snort, grump, and grumble. (and poot)
We are all set up and loaded for bear – not BearSpiritDog, or the grizzlies that have been attacking everything in sight at Yellowstone, but ready for a super duper show.
Must remember to take pictures of the booth tomorrow before the show starts. And now – time for bed. Show day starts early and ends late.
8:56 pm on August 19th, 2013
Alarm!….Me and Beau would not be good alarm clocks…heh!…We both can and will sleep till the cows come home and I’ve herd that is pretty late…snort!
Barb!…Someone here says I should thank you for posting your chicken potted pie out here…sniff!…There is no way in hell she will do all that work to make it though, I can guarantee it!…snort!
9:05 pm on August 19th, 2013
Rose!…Has anyone seen my friend Rose?…snort!…She’s been missing for a few days now and this makes me a worry-pug…sniff!…Maybe she is hiding out in Golinka’s booth so she can have first dibs on all the really good stuff…chuffle!
9:24 pm on August 19th, 2013
Bluecat: thanks for the photos!
Everyone: did you know that Bo in the White House has a baby sister now?

9:25 pm on August 19th, 2013
Game!….We are watching the Rockies vs The Phillies game right now…snort!…I know the Rockies are going to win this I just don’t know how yet…heh!heh!
9:35 pm on August 19th, 2013
Beau!…Is it just me or is Beau getting Fat!Fat!Fat!…grunt!…No wonder his back knee still hurts…grumble!
9:44 pm on August 19th, 2013
CHobbit: Tanks for the scoop on the first family’s second dog.
Rio: Try not to pug-pick on Beau too much. Roly poly was coined for pugs…can you imagine an anorexic pug?
9:45 pm on August 19th, 2013
Thanks for the link CHobbit: It’s kool that Bo has little sister Sunny to keep him company.
Signing off early to catch up on last night’s shows ON DEMAND.
Goodnight everyone.
9:47 pm on August 19th, 2013
Sharon!…Yeah, but you can’t argue with the size ratio of his head compared to his butt…heh!heh!
9:49 pm on August 19th, 2013
The bed Beau is on looks very deluxe. Rio: is your bed of equal or greater quality?
9:51 pm on August 19th, 2013
Game!…Bottom of the 8th and the score is 5 ta 4….snort!…Rockies are trailing but our Closer just cleaned out the Phillies…heh!…We are up to bat in the 9th….woooo!…I am chewing on the couch cushions…yeeep!
9:57 pm on August 19th, 2013
CHobbit!….The bed Beau is on and quickly out-growing is the basement-bed…snort!…This is for whoever wants to crash down here and watch whatever my friend is watching on TV…heh!…I usually push my way up onto her lap in the easy chair and leave Beau down there in the basement-bed..chuffle!burp!
10:00 pm on August 19th, 2013
Sunny is a cute puppy.
Now, it is time for me to sleep . . I hope.
10:04 pm on August 19th, 2013
Rio: Watch out…Melanie going to bed now usually means zombie Melanie later!
10:09 pm on August 19th, 2013
Alert!….Zombie Melanie Alert!…snort!….Do not interfere if she tries to post, just stand back and let her do her Zombie-thing-a-ma-jig-ee…grunt!
10:12 pm on August 19th, 2013
Badness!…We are bracing ourselves to watch the 2nd episode of Breaking Bad….wheeze!…Maskers has already warned us of the intenseness we will experience…grunt!…Here goes.
10:25 pm on August 19th, 2013
Mom just said it is time to hit the sack (funny phrase) so nighty night.
10:32 pm on August 19th, 2013
Maskers!…Here was me thinking Hank was going to be “smart” about this…heh!…He is out of control talking to Skyler so quickly and assuming she will spill the beans on….snort!…This is sooooo gooood!…chuffle!…I wish you and Bear were still up but heck NO!…grunt!
10:34 pm on August 19th, 2013
Beans!…Spill the Beans On Walt of course…heh!…Somehow that got cut off in the post above…grump!
