Good morning! What is wrong with that dog? Try that with us. Go ahead and try. We dare ya’.
7:55 am on September 24th, 2014
Good mornng, OH and everyone! Our innerweb stopped webbing yesterday at 1 so we have been in the dark. WE come back to Nanasan home, home, home and massage baths ???? WE wouldn’t even say still for that long, heck, mom wouldn’t even do it!
Have a welaxing Wednesday.
8:56 am on September 24th, 2014
Greetings!
YAY! Nanasan, Bear Spirit Dog, and my dear Masquers are back in the U.S.A.!!!
I wonder if Rio ever got a doggie massage like that from his friend. snort!
What about the Thieves?
I am off from work today, but as a reward, I get to have my head shrunk, and maybe get wonderfluffed.
SOB! One day closer to the Captain’s retirement! Yankee baseball will never be the same. sob, sob, sob,
But on the positive side of baseball, my betsest friend on this here blog Teddy and his gal, Zeta are going on a date to the Nationals game tonight. I hope the Mets channel broadcasts this so, I can watch. I hope youse all have a great time!
9:33 am on September 24th, 2014
Good morning all.
Nana – so good to see you on this here blog. Welcome home.
Tupper would go for that massage. Gilly? Not so much.
We know Bee said she would be late posting today. We know why. Today is National Punctuation Day, and wild woman that she is, we know Prof Bee is off celebrating, red pencil in hand, maniacally giggling as she slashes her way through improperly punctuated newspapers, billboards and store signs.
10:02 am on September 24th, 2014
I’ve never seen a dog enjoy a bath like that!
Tupper’s Mama is making me laugh.
My brother, who is a Tigers fan, told me that they are top in their division. He’s going to the game Friday. (Yawn!)
Good morning all.
10:13 am on September 24th, 2014
Welcome back Nana.
10:35 am on September 24th, 2014
Welcome back Nana.
Good morning to all.
Everyone seems to be in fine form today.
10:50 am on September 24th, 2014
Can’t help wondering if that dog was sedated. No one relaxes that much! Fun to watch though.
So glad Nanasan is back. Will she fill us in on her whirlwind trip today we wonder?
Rose, enjoy your day off. Do you like the new job? Any perks, like edible ones?
10:55 am on September 24th, 2014
Just had a funny experience. Looking at my checking account on line, I noticed that I have a credit for $38.18 from my grocery store. I called the bank and told them there was an error, and that it should actually be a debit for a check I wrote to the store. They told me there is nothing they can do to correct it, as the grocery store made the error, and I have to take my receipt back to the store. Huh? I am not sure I even kept the receipt. So now I am wondering if I should just keep the money or what.
11:14 am on September 24th, 2014
B&M: When I was 16, I liked working in a supermarket deli. At 55, not so much.
I did a lot of sampling during my first deli job. After a while you just feel sick. I have no interest in sampling anything in the current deli case.
11:31 am on September 24th, 2014
Trouble!…Oh no! My friend had to drive her mother’s car to the busy-place this morning…wheeze!…When she started my ole Subaru it was yeeping and howling like something had come loose in its inards…grunt!…So now we are all waiting for Triple AAA to get here and haul the car to the service place…sniff!…My friend will be on pins and needles waiting to hear what is wrong and how much it is going to cost…gah!
11:33 am on September 24th, 2014
Rio, but it is a Sibarooo. What could possibly go wrong?
11:35 am on September 24th, 2014
Howlers!…sniff!…It is a very old Subarooo…wheeze!
11:37 am on September 24th, 2014
Howdy! Youse don’t know me, but I am the favorite hen here at Howling Arabians. In fact, the name of the farm will probably be changed to Isabel’s Roost.
Well, last evening, I was up on Mom’s shoulder, like I used to do all the time. I have not been up there for a while, due to my size, the netting at the top of my yard, and the fact that Mom doesn’t hang out with me so often any more.
While I was up there, I spied something pretty and shiny. I did what any hen worth her corn would do (I am sure that Chicken Lady Barb could attest to this): I ate it!.
Mom immediately screamed, and she and Dad pulled out flash lights. There was a lot of sighing and groaning and “oh, Isabel”s. sigh
This morning, Mom and I were digging in the poop. For what? heaven knows.
11:47 am on September 24th, 2014
Shoulder!…heh!heh!….Howler’s Maw is a brave one…snort!
11:47 am on September 24th, 2014
Oh, Isabel! Sounds like you ate a diamond earring. Does it have a sharp pointy thing on it? Maybe you really didn’t eat it and it is one the floor. If you did eat it, it could take a while to reappear.
11:54 am on September 24th, 2014
RIO! My brother sells Siberooo’s. He works in a dealership in Connecticut.
11:55 am on September 24th, 2014
RIO! Perhaps a deal can be arranged.
12:10 pm on September 24th, 2014
Rose!…You would have to drive it all the way out here…snort!…Then Beau would have to drive you all the way back…sniff!…And then what?
12:15 pm on September 24th, 2014
Why didn’t you guys tell me not to click on that video…GAH
Isabel, I hope you will be okay. There is a program on tv called, “I can’t believe my dog that”. Maybe they should have one called, “I can’t believe my chicken ate that”.
Rio, I hope your friend is feeling better today. I also hope nothing is seriously wrong with the Subaru. They are a good car.
12:20 pm on September 24th, 2014
Nana, Welcome Home! We missed you. We worried about you at times…like when we thought you were living in the airport instead of a hotel.
Rio, I checked our tv channels that show baseball games. None of them are showing the game Teddy and Zeta are going to tonight.
I would like to see that game.
Barb, Don’t try to hard to find the receipt.
12:35 pm on September 24th, 2014
We Sibes stick together. Ditto what Siber-H said to Barb: Don’t even look for that there receipt!
1:06 pm on September 24th, 2014
That bathing dog was either sleep-deprived or under the influence of something not natural.
Rio: I hope your friend’s car does not cost a tail and a paw to get it running again.
Whew! Blog wasn’t the same without Nana and Wose. Thank dog they are both back.
Isobel: I think you are on the shit list! SOL, sister!
1:06 pm on September 24th, 2014
Rio – did your friend’s Subarooo get a flu shot too?
Oh Isabel – you naughty bird.
Barb – watch your account!!!!! Mysterious deposits like that can actually be a hacker testing accessibility. We got caught with that once. Seriously – please keep an eye on it for the next week
1:07 pm on September 24th, 2014
Rio – did your friend’s Subarooo get a flu shot too?
Oh Isabel – you naughty bird.
Barb – watch your account!!!!! Mysterious deposits like that can actually be a hacker testing accessibility. We got caught with that once. Seriously – please keep a very close eye on it for the next week or so.
1:07 pm on September 24th, 2014
Huh?
1:19 pm on September 24th, 2014
I don’t think it is a hacker in this case. The item is identified as Jewel Food Store, and is the exact amount of the check I wrote on Monday. It is just a credit instead of a debit. Not sure how a hacker could do that?
1:44 pm on September 24th, 2014
Barb – personally, we would lose sleep fretting over it. But that is just us.
Still, the grocery store might need to know about it.
1:49 pm on September 24th, 2014
Subarooo!… Is being repaired right now…snort!…Some external belts busted…grunt!….The good news is this is not going to cost a fortune and my friend can pick up the car tonight…wheeze!
1:50 pm on September 24th, 2014
Did anyone notice…
Thieves stealing gloves
Harris stealing money
Isobel stealing diamonds.
The crime wave is escalating.! Don’t worry about hackers, everyone watch their pets!
1:56 pm on September 24th, 2014
Tupper, we will keep a close watch. We already notified the bank, so if the account has been “compromised” we gave them notice up front. I know the same bank had problems recently with some accounts that use debit cards, which we do not use.
2:22 pm on September 24th, 2014
As long as Barb wrote a check, and didn’t use a debit card for that payment to the grocery store, we don’t think a hacker is involved. And we don’t think the grocery store needs to be made aware. We do, however, think that Barb will soon see two debits for that amount. The store will likely catch their error and then “refund” the credit, and charge for the groceries. If they don’t, then Barb can buy herself some wine or something!
Hobbit! Heh Heh Heh! Just be sure you only take in 2-leggeds in the Hobbit Hotel. Hmmmm… Wait! Isabel is a 2-legged!!! What’s up with that?
2:40 pm on September 24th, 2014
Me too. I’m a thief. I steal hearts

2:53 pm on September 24th, 2014
Oh, Gilly, yes you do steal hearts. I bet you look even more adorable if someone is holding a Slim Jim.
3:26 pm on September 24th, 2014
Howlers, what you say makes sense. I will just watch it and wait for them to come take their money back.
Oh Gilly, you are so cute!
I am now painting my master bath vanities and medicine chest. They will be a beautiful dark blue. The wallpaper going in there is country French with chickens in dark blues and reds.
3:53 pm on September 24th, 2014
I am here to report that someone’s so called “last minute invitation” to meet a family member in the Orient was in reality an undercover assignment deep in the heart of Hong Kong. Details are sketchy at this point, but apparently all did not go as planned. The secret agent who would be bringing supplies was delayed, thus she had no satellite phone or means of communication with the west.

Another example of the infamous Murphy’s Law at work. My advice from this experience? Depend on no one and always cover your tail.
Here is a photo from the hotel window on the first day:
3:54 pm on September 24th, 2014
3:56 pm on September 24th, 2014
Yark! What happened? Lovely (Silly) Gilly was able to upload her photo why not moi?
3:57 pm on September 24th, 2014
Question: If Barb’s bathroom has chickens, will Maggie or Lucy find Mom’s earring?
Silly Masquers! Any photo you took way over there in China (o.k. Hong Kong) is automatically deleted and will not post!
3:57 pm on September 24th, 2014
Gilly: My heart is yours!
Barb&Maggie: Do you ever stop? I anticipate a picture when the wallpaper (Isabel will approve) is hung. It sounds lovely.
Tai Chi: Hmmmm. Seems like I forgot everything I learned last week. There was a new girl so I wasn’t the worst tai chi-er in the class. Must practice this week.
4:01 pm on September 24th, 2014
Gilly stole my heart long ago. So did Tupper.
4:08 pm on September 24th, 2014
Dogs who steal hearts are the most dangerous kind of home invader because then they get away with stealing food, gloves, cash, diamonds and being hellions and miscreants. With just looks and a wagging tail, strong people have been known to surrender.
4:22 pm on September 24th, 2014
O’Howlers: Isabel must have urgent need of those Earrings. Perhaps an Invitation to High Tea?
Gilly: You are an absolute Treasure (and so is Tupperance).
C.Hobbit: There are many of us out there. Be Forewarned!
4:42 pm on September 24th, 2014
T&G have given me instructions. I shall try again.

Standby for upload.
4:50 pm on September 24th, 2014
A belated Good Day, all!
I saw FIVE bunnies this a.m. and sure enough the day has been going quite well with delightful photos on the blog and Nana really truly home (knocking on wood right now) and next week I’m giving exams.
Gilly and all other Thieves you cannot steal from me because I would give you everything I have.
Wose (from yesterday)–You may not feel energized and focused but your posts do read that way (really). Fermented foods are supposed to be good for you–does that deli have kraut to sample? (AND you get wonderfluffed, which I hope you find an enjoyable experience;I’m long overdue and likely to remain so for a while.)
About to leave for another campus! Parked on the freeway! Alert and professional! Day off tomorrow! (This must be the manic part, but at least I’m enjoying it…)
Later, all and have a great day.
4:52 pm on September 24th, 2014
Hong Kong!…Rightside up for the rest of us!…snort!…Beautiful!
5:04 pm on September 24th, 2014
Thanks Rio. That really is beautiful. Mom is impressed with the pool.
5:14 pm on September 24th, 2014
Rio, was right side up first time. Why did you rotate it 90 degrees?
5:25 pm on September 24th, 2014
Masquers, that is a lovely view! Also rightside up until Rio turned it.
5:26 pm on September 24th, 2014
Wose: For the record, I don’t think you have ever smelled better. And, for the same record—-the You are Loved record—your head is the perfect size, no matter how big or small.
5:43 pm on September 24th, 2014
We have decided to put some new trees in our front yard – our 60 year old apple tree finally bit the dust, and we need to remove the spruce tree before it takes over.
So we took Gramp and Tupper to the nursery today. We found lovely semi-dwarf apple and pear trees, and they were even on sale!
There was a beautiful red Siber girl named Juneau working at the nursery. She was very friendly, and was even willing to share her food dish with Tup.
But, noooooo. Little Miss Royal snubbed her completely. Seems a certain Tup Pup doesn’t think she is a D*O*G, and therefore has no need to associate with other members of the Nation.
Snob.
5:43 pm on September 24th, 2014
Riö’s foto is right-side up for moi…both on the computer and tablet…strange goings-ons.
5:47 pm on September 24th, 2014
All we know is…a certain someones had better get the blog upload thingamajiggy fixed and pronto…FOTM is coming up soon.
5:57 pm on September 24th, 2014
Royals: If you need help marking your new tree we are happy to offer our services.
5:57 pm on September 24th, 2014
The picture was right side up for me after Rio turned it.
6:45 pm on September 24th, 2014
Dawson: If Memory serves correctly, the Tai Chi moves Appear Easy but are Difficult to Master. You are commended for taking the class.
You, Siber-H, Zeus, Team Snowhook, and all youse digging holes…Word is youse had started one to China a couple of days ago…Thank you for that. Your efforts made all the difference.
Magpie: Did we hear Barb mention a trip to St. Louis next month?
Nana also had planned to go to her Niece’s Wedding on the 11th, but may be traveled-out. We shall see.
Rio: Your Friend lucked out with repairs on her Trusty Siberoo. Thank Dog for that!
Would love to see Teddy & Pal at the National’s Game!
6:55 pm on September 24th, 2014
Jeter’s last home game is tonight. I can’t bear it.
7:10 pm on September 24th, 2014
Dawson, the DDD just asked me to see if you liked the Canadian view of Mt. Rushmore?
7:29 pm on September 24th, 2014
Hey Guys! Check out that facebook post over on the right. Now Spencer has Leda posting for him! snort!
7:30 pm on September 24th, 2014
Dawson, we have lived here two years and are just now doing the two bathrooms. These are the last rooms to be redone. Hall bath is done and now we are working on the master bath. Will try to get some pics when done, but it is hard to do in such a small space.
Bear, we are thinking about a trip to see a new baby that is due in 3 weeks. We will be going either the first or second weekend in Nov. and we will be in St. Peters, which I think is a western suburb of St. Louis. Would love to meet up with you if possible.
7:44 pm on September 24th, 2014
Awww, Gilly. Such lovely brown eyes.
Nationals/Mets rained out as reported on the Mets channel. Double header scheduled for tomorrow.
Mama Luna, I love you!
MPM: September 25th is Jeter’s last home game. sob, sob, sob. Weather for tomorrow may rain out the game. sob, sob, sob, sob
RIO! A new Siberooo’s for your friend might be a fun road trip. You could come to New York and Connecticut! I can supply the hot wings, cold cuts, and Hebrew Nationals.
7:55 pm on September 24th, 2014
Nana: Is Hong Kong as clean as it looks?
Wose: Derek Jeter will have a stellar game tonight while Teddy and Zeta watch. Lucky dogs! I would like to see this game.
HOH: Tell DDD, Huh?
I finally won a crib game today after losing 11 straight (over a few days) to the man who lives in this house. Grrr! I know this because he has started keeping score in a little book.
Barb&Maggie: Two years already? That went fast!
8:01 pm on September 24th, 2014
Oops!
Yankees already played today (and lost). I am not too good at baseball predictions.
8:15 pm on September 24th, 2014
Diane C: Rain, wind, dark, cloudy in Wisconsin today. Time for a Strengthening Cocktail.
8:28 pm on September 24th, 2014
Are those palm trees in Nana’s pictures? Is the weather that mild?
8:33 pm on September 24th, 2014
Dawson, check your SDD. Believe he sent you somehing.
9:04 pm on September 24th, 2014
L the L, what is your strengthening cocktail? I think I need one.
9:07 pm on September 24th, 2014
Linda!…Good idea!…snort!…We need some strength right about now…grunt!
9:08 pm on September 24th, 2014
Car!…Done!..Supper – Dishes!…Done!…Walk!…Done!…Time to finally relax and call it an evening…sniff!…Baseball may or may not start till late tonight…grump!
9:10 pm on September 24th, 2014
Dawson: Hong Kong was VERY Impressive. Pristine and Wealthy.
She had a different impression of Macau, the Vegas of the Far East.
Barb&Magpie: The Weather was Tropical. Very Warm and Muggy.
Would Love to Meet-up, but Nana is going in October and Barb in November. 🙁
9:12 pm on September 24th, 2014
I’m disappointed for Teddy and Zeta.
Rio, The Rockies did win the game last night.
9:15 pm on September 24th, 2014
MPM & Rose: DJ. I feel for youse. The only solution is a strengthening cocktail. Heh.
9:17 pm on September 24th, 2014
MPM: I don’t really drink a cocktail. I have a glass (or two) of wine. Billy’s Other Buddy says: Tell her how big your glass is. I respectfully decline.
9:22 pm on September 24th, 2014
BB: Snort!
9:22 pm on September 24th, 2014
Okay, I give up asking about the strengthening cocktail. I’m just going to go have a drink.
9:27 pm on September 24th, 2014
Too bad Nana. Where are you going in St. Louis? Barb grew up in Affton, a southern burb. Her relatives that still live there are in western suburbs.
9:28 pm on September 24th, 2014
MPM- make sure it is gluten free.
9:29 pm on September 24th, 2014
L the L, thanks. I too believe in that strengthening cocktail, particularly at dinner time. after that I have been known to switch to vodka. That must be Vladimir Putin’s strengthening cocktail. So I must have all the bases covered.
9:31 pm on September 24th, 2014
T&G, no problem with the wine. It is always gluten-free. Then vodka is another story and I have to do my research on it.
9:35 pm on September 24th, 2014
MPM: You have all the bases covered. When our family goes out to dinner to celebrate a birthday, holiday, or event, the strengthening cocktail for “the boys” is a marthreeni. A martini before, during, and after dinner. I get to drive. (We sound like a bunch of lushes.)
9:38 pm on September 24th, 2014
SiberH. We still went to the game and met a lot of neat members of the nation within. Unfortunately, the field was really wet which is why they postponed it fairly early on. Back home now and my dad will try to post some photos tomorrow. Zeta has her very own Nationals jersey that she wore to the game which is really cool.
9:40 pm on September 24th, 2014
Teddy, I’m sorry about the game, but really looking forward to pictures.
9:42 pm on September 24th, 2014
Staying on the topic of wine, my neighbor here in the hotel came over with the best ever bottle of Pinot Noir. The name is Meiomi. absolutely outstanding. Except for the price because it’s about $22 a bottle. I’m a cheap date.
9:42 pm on September 24th, 2014
Y’all are making us ROFL.
9:45 pm on September 24th, 2014
Good night all. Off to bed and hopefully a good night’s sleep.
Nighty noodles and g’day to Liz.
9:49 pm on September 24th, 2014
MollysMaw!…Is that a big ole bottle like the one Maskers and I drank one night while unchaperoned…heh!heh!burp!
9:51 pm on September 24th, 2014
Teddy!…I am sorry the game was delayed…grump!…But now I am obsessing about Zeta’s jersey!…chuffle!…How come I do not have a Rockies jersey of my own as I look to someone here who is shaking her head NO!NO!NO!…grunt!
9:52 pm on September 24th, 2014
Yes! Good Day to LizF and to moi!
9:52 pm on September 24th, 2014
Rio, tell your friend that it took mom 4 days after her flu shot to get back to as normal as she ever gets. Hope your friend feels better sooner than that.
Nighty nachos as we head for dreamland, too.
9:53 pm on September 24th, 2014
MPM and Rio: Billy’s other Buddy (who knows about Meiomi) says the best Pinots in the US right now are from Oregon and he just had a great one tonight — a 2012 Erath for $17.
9:53 pm on September 24th, 2014
Riö: Fond memories to last a lifetime.
10:03 pm on September 24th, 2014
Shot!…My friend is still not tip-top after that flu-shot…snuff!…This is unusual as they usually do not bother her at all…grunt!…So beware all you pre-shot guys.
10:04 pm on September 24th, 2014
Maskers!…heh!heh!…They are all good memories. Let’s do it again!…snort!
10:10 pm on September 24th, 2014
Yes!!!
10:18 pm on September 24th, 2014
I don’t have a Rockies jersey either.
Mom hasn’t gotten her flu shot yet.
10:32 pm on September 24th, 2014
SiberH!…You and I are in the same boat and jersey-less…grunt!…Well, maybe if our team actuall wins the Division or the World Series we will get our reward…guffle!kick!…There’s always next year.
10:40 pm on September 24th, 2014
T&G: I hope to pick some fruit off your little fruit trees some day. Oh oh, the bears might want some too!
I sure got all my information wrong on the ball game. Perhaps I should look at the dates on articles.
At least Teddy and Zeta got to mingle with some exciting members of the Nation within.
HOH: I didn’t see any sdd from DDD.
10:54 pm on September 24th, 2014
Dawson!…Are you really surprised?…heh!…HoHo seems to have her Tennessee wires crossed most of the times…sniff!…But we here hope she is feeling well or quite herself or both…snorkel!
11:01 pm on September 24th, 2014
Game!..ON!…grunt!…It is 4 ta 1 San Diego…sniff!..And it is the 6th inning already….grunt!…We here have no hope of staying up for the end of the game. Last night we tried to listen to the game on the radio while in our warm soft beds, but that did not work…grumble!…We both fell asleep way before the game ended and then I had all these weird dreams because of that book we are reading….gah!GAH!…I can’t wait to finish that book. I have no idea how it will end. I can’t even let my mind try to think about the ending…wuffle!weeep!
11:18 pm on September 24th, 2014
DDD: Oho! I get it now!
11:19 pm on September 24th, 2014
Omydawg!…Even SDD arrives slower in Canada…heh!heh!
11:27 pm on September 24th, 2014
Wose: The feeling is mutual. I am proud of you and your new job. What I wouldn’t give to smell like a deli platter.
11:38 pm on September 24th, 2014
Luna!…As if you need any other power over the kennel!…heh!heh!…You are IN CHARGE! With or without A Deli smell about you!…chuffle!
11:40 pm on September 24th, 2014
Goodnight! …All…grunt!…Baseball is still on but someone says we can listen on the Radio upstairs…grump!…We all know how that ends..sniff!
11:41 pm on September 24th, 2014
What I wouldn’t give to work in a deli.
The Rockies are only one run behind. There is time to pull off a win yet tonight.
Night All
11:56 pm on September 24th, 2014
It’s 11:55 am somewhere. Heh. ^–^

Will this Upload work? Paws Crossed!
12:09 am on September 25th, 2014
Nanasan reports she had one of her Best Meals there!
Hey! I can relate to that!
12:17 am on September 25th, 2014
Super Sleuth on “vacation”.
Pssst! Look for the woman wearing white shoes with black shoelaces and carrying a black parcel. She will be in front of the Disneyland Resort sign at oh 8 hundred. She will ask you to take her photograph. Do it!
12:20 am on September 25th, 2014
I mentioned s h o e s so I am being moderated at 12:17.
G’day to Liz and Nana.
