Seventh Mention Of The Teitelbaum Divorce
We were back at the movie set, me, Bernie, Leda, and Charlie, all by ourselves in one of the trailers. Leda wore tight jeans, a tight little top, and lots of jewelry. Bernie was dressed like Bernie. I had on my brown leather collar – the black one’s for dress-up, in case that hasn’t come up yet. Charlie wore a sort of cowboy outfit – cowboy hat, cowboy boots, and one of those long duster coats. Bernie had one, hanging in the closet back home, a gift from Mr. Teitelbaum who owned clothing stores, although not as many after the Teitelbaum divorce, a case I’ll never forget. Mrs. Teitelbaum driving that earth mover right through garage where Mr. Teitelbaum kept his antique car collection? And then back the other way? That kind of thing stays in the mind. It was also on that case that I first discovered kosher chicken, proving there’s good in everything; one of my core beliefs. – From A Fistful of Collars

Good morning. It is always good to hold onto core beliefs. And Chet’s is a very good core belief to have.
When are we getting the full story of the Teitelbaum divorce? We are aching for it!
Kat is back home and has finally stopped splorting. We asked her how Barb was and she wanted to know if that was the woman who gave her all that yogurt. Kids!
BIG NEWS!!!!! Mom received an email last night from an anonymous donor offering to match $25 for Louisa Mae!!! So the first $25 received will be matched matched matched !!!
8:53 am on January 30th, 2013
So, the next e-story will be this divorce case. Excellent. When? (No pressure intended. Heh!)
Good news about Barb. I hope Kelly brings her iPad so Barb can post a comment today.
Good morning all.
9:05 am on January 30th, 2013
Good Morning!

Chet: We love the way your mind works. That is the Best of Beliefs.
Looking forward to a possible post from Barb sometime today.
O’Howlers: Great enlarged photo of Mike Ellis.
Siber-H will be pleased.
10:24 am on January 30th, 2013
Hmmm, I forgot to hit submit.
Gracie gets out of confinement on Friday.
I stop sleeping on the 1 foot too short Fainting Couch.

If she can she’s coming home Saturday.
Jeeze Louise. I have a lot of work to do.

The Pack: Hand over some more food.
10:36 am on January 30th, 2013
Great news about Barb from last night. Smoochers — job well done.
Belated happy birthday to those I missed.
Looking forward to e-story 2.
10:45 am on January 30th, 2013
Core Beliefs:
1. Our Mama is the BEST
2. We are the Best Corgis in the Whole World (Mama said so)
3. Steak is better than kibble
4. Kats are Wrotten
10:49 am on January 30th, 2013
Bear, that Mike Ellis link should be a video.
All great core beliefs! Our core belief? The grass is always greener outside the fence.
11:02 am on January 30th, 2013
Core!…My core belief is that the Rockies will get to the World Series this year!…WOOOOooooOOOOOooooOOO!…And pie.
11:12 am on January 30th, 2013
Melanie: Zoe coming home…that is Wonderful News! Paws crossed the doc gives the okay.
B: You mentioned last night you were going out to dinner with friends. What movie did you see?
The flying kat returns home later today. He said something about maybe stopping by to see Rose & the Prof after dropping off Dr. Sam.
I wonder if the Smoochers are accumulating Frequent Blurrer Miles on these trips.
Pondering.
11:24 am on January 30th, 2013
Stover!…Check your SDD when you get a chance…sniff!
12:08 pm on January 30th, 2013
WOO HOO Thanks Fellow Sibers. We love that video! Handsome Sibers having a great time, and beautiful shots of the Yukon Quest trail… good music too.
Mom and I are gong to watch that video several times today.
12:14 pm on January 30th, 2013
Glad to learn Barb’s surgery went so well.
Zoe could maybe come home on Friday!
I share the same core beliefs as Rio and the Howlers.
12:16 pm on January 30th, 2013
Saturday…Zoe could maybe come home on Saturday. I correct myself.
12:32 pm on January 30th, 2013
Princess Sam is up top! What a stunner!
12:34 pm on January 30th, 2013
Melanie, we are happy for Zoe, as we know she is anxious to be back home with you and the pack. But this will most likely be a big responsibility and more work for you, so we don’t want her to rush home before she is really ready.
12:39 pm on January 30th, 2013
To those interested…Shakespeare Uncovered/Macbeth…is now available on PBS.
12:43 pm on January 30th, 2013
Bear, the Prof and I will have some dinner with Masquers, before he heads back. I’m thinking a little music might be played as the Prof’s wrist is getting better.
Pondering…Frequent Blurrer Miles. Hmmm. Do I see more company at Snowhook come February?
12:43 pm on January 30th, 2013
Zoe coming home…..PARTEE!!!
12:51 pm on January 30th, 2013
Don’t forget: $25 will be matched for the winsome Louisa Mae.
1:03 pm on January 30th, 2013
Bear: Is the Shakespeare Uncovered/Macbeth online or on tv?
Rio: Checked and responded.
Everyone: We’re very close to a second prize winner in the Feed the Giant fund.
1:07 pm on January 30th, 2013
Bear: Forgot–My friends and I were having too much fun eating so we didn’t get to the movie. We were going to see The Hobbit (not my choice).

Howlers, Check your SDD
1:27 pm on January 30th, 2013
Staff: T.C.
B: Nana sent a link on facebookie. We haven’t checked it out ourselves yet.
2:24 pm on January 30th, 2013
Barb: The Plunderers hope to hear from you and Kelly sometime today.
The Smoochers are on call if you need us. I will be spending some time with my dear friends Rose & the Prof this evening, but my trusty SDD is on to alert me to any messages.
Luna was worried we left too soon, but you can be assured the team can return in the flick of a tail. Just say the word.
2:58 pm on January 30th, 2013
Staff: The BlogKats will love that puzzle. I may try it myself.
Wose: This could be The Great Iditarod Blur of 2013. What an idea!
3:03 pm on January 30th, 2013
Thanks Bear, TC also. I knew I was forgetting someone.
3:10 pm on January 30th, 2013
Well, Anonymous’ generous contribution was matched and then some!!! We received $125 more for the Winsome One, including the matching funds (and you know who you are, oh Generous One) !
So now we are over halfway to sponsoring our SIXTH Snowhook Dog!
GO PLUNDERERS!!!
GO SNOWHOOK!!!
GO TWIG, ORION, CHARLIE, JUNIOR, QUIG, and soon LOUISA MAE !!!

Bear, maybe with the help of the Smoochers blurring, AJ will blur to the finish line in first place!
3:48 pm on January 30th, 2013
We did it!!!! We had the all-time slowest time, but that was mostly because Kat was jumping Mommy while she was moving those pieces around.
Thanks, Staff!
3:56 pm on January 30th, 2013
I watched both of the Shakespeare Uncovered episodes on PBS online (Macbeth and the comedies, Twelfth Night and As You Like it with Vanessa Redgrave and her daughter). Thank you Bear. They are very interesting.
4:13 pm on January 30th, 2013
Hey!…How come everyone’s donations are going to the winsome one while there is a Giant and a whole team of Class-A racers to feed?…sniffle!
4:13 pm on January 30th, 2013
Staff: If those Yukon Quest links don’t get us all fired up for the Big Race nothing will!
Dawson: WooooHoooo we received the Prize package today, courtesy of Staff. Very apropos, I must say. Someone here is very happy.
Wose: That would be some undertaking, but I’m sure AJ will want to follow the rules of good sportsmanship. On the other paw, it would have come in handy when he and the team were stuck out on Norton Sound last year.

Prize!…SiberH, Bear just reminded me to tell you that your First Prize has not been mailed out yet. It’s not my fault!…sniff!…My friend says she does not have the right box yet…grunt!…So hopefully by this weekend she will be able to send it on its way to you…wuffle!…Or she may just wait till all 4 prizes have been claimed and then mail them out all at once….heh!
4:59 pm on January 30th, 2013
Thanks for the links to the videos, Staff and Bear.
Somewhere on the internet there are or there were videos of the teams climing those summits that are on the Quest’s map. Staff mentioned those elevations a few days ago. I do not know how to find these videso, but once you see them, you will never forget them. I believe those videos were two years ago. Those extreme climbs only happen on the south to north route….This Year!!!
Please,oh, please let the Quest’s tracker work better this year than it did last year.
5:01 pm on January 30th, 2013
Rio, That is okay. Whenever your friend wants to send it is fine with us.
5:20 pm on January 30th, 2013
Siber-H: Maybe someone knows how to find the video links.
5:20 pm on January 30th, 2013
Awesome Dawson: Bear has reminded me to thank you for picking out the perfect prize for moi!
5:48 pm on January 30th, 2013
Exhausted. Driving through heavy fog is not fun. Did get everything done. Now sitting with the heating pad.
Rio, you asked me about YSAS. He is still not tip-top. He is working. Last week was checking coats. Tomorrow he is a KGB agent.
5:51 pm on January 30th, 2013
Bear, that Quest video is awesome. Hot damn, we love those dogs!
6:03 pm on January 30th, 2013
Wow! Natasha could help YSAS with the part of the KGB agent.
7:13 pm on January 30th, 2013
I blurred back Kat and Sammie this morning. I wanted to wait until a certain someone started splorting. Poor tummy. , and I think Masquers made his way to Wose’s for some jazz time with the professor.After dropping off our fellow Smoochers, Belle Starr and I stopped and check in on Maggie. She was doing fine and learning the two-step to some country music. We told how well Barb was doing and that we were with her through the whole surgery and even in the recovery room. Barb was pretty out of it in the recovery room so she may not fully remember the snuggles she got from each of us, but she seemed to appreciate it nonetheless. We stayed the night in her hospital room. The chair in her room folded into a bed. It also had a broken lock on the wheels, so we spent the night sailing around the room, crashing into this wall and that, and having a great time. I wonder if Barb will remember it as a hallucination or know it was us. After stopping to see Maggie, we made a trip back to check on Barb and decided to stay. The pain meds are wearing off and she is starting to feel what she wasn’t yesterday. Our Barb is a strong girl and she’ll be back on her feet in no time.
7:13 pm on January 30th, 2013
After some salmon bon bons for Masquers, steak for the Prof and I, and ice cream and brownies for everyone, the Prof and Masquers sat down for an impromptu jazz session which was wonderful. Masquers has himself a nice little good bag, and is now on his way home. It is quite foggy tonight, but I know his internal GPS will get my dear friend home safely.
7:25 pm on January 30th, 2013
Bear!…Gah!…Those snakes! Justified!…Gah!
Supper!…Well, my friend was going to come home and make her pot o’ fire green chile, but of course her mother could not wait and made her version of it…grunt!…No matter what my friend tried it does not taste right…sniff!…So we will be eating that stuff pretty soon…gurgle!burp!
7:32 pm on January 30th, 2013
Well, rats, we already did that puzzle. If I was putting a cat together, I might do it a little differently, heh-heh. Maybe unicorn “tail on head” look.
Mom finally went back to work today, and now she is home to rest up from the adventure of leaving the recliner.
Dainty licks to Barb’s owie. Dog spit is quite medicinal.
7:34 pm on January 30th, 2013
Rio! Keep the Tums handy.
7:39 pm on January 30th, 2013
OHs: Please check your SDD.
7:40 pm on January 30th, 2013
Rio! Please check your SDD after your dinner.
7:41 pm on January 30th, 2013
Kat, hope your tummy is all better now.
7:51 pm on January 30th, 2013
Hey everyone – we thought that maybe tonight would be a good night for gathering together in prayer. We hope you will join us at 9 Plunderer Standard Time to bring support in prayers for:
Barb;
Cousin Bob – a dear friend of Snowhook family Matt and Jodi;
Wookie’s Grampa, now at home;
Staff’s Dad, and Mr Staff; and
Zoe
If there is anyone we have missed, or anyone has any requests, please post asap, We will be checking the blog between now and then.
7:52 pm on January 30th, 2013
Rio: Why are you PugSu? It was like that the other day also.
8:09 pm on January 30th, 2013
Golinka!…I need a prayer after that supper we had….burp!…I do not think I will ever be the same pug-su!…grung!
8:12 pm on January 30th, 2013
See!…Even my grung! is gone…gah!
8:14 pm on January 30th, 2013
Rose!…I just checked and there is no nuthing on the SDD…grung!
9:00 pm on January 30th, 2013
Creator – we thank you for the day you have given us. Some are surrounded by cold winter air, some by winds and storms, some by icy fog. But we are all breathing in the air that gives us life. We are all standing upon this beautiful earth. We thank you for all the gifts we have.
One of the many wondrous things of this world is the ability of humans to learn and grow. We thank you for the doctors and medical researchers and scientists who make amazing things possible. Our lives can be made easier, less painful and more productive because of the knowledge garnered by these people. Through their hands and skill, many illnesses and injuries can be cured.
Creator – on this night, our Friend and family member Barb is starting on a new path of pain free movement. We ask you to be with her through each step of her healing and recovery. Let her pain be diminished with every thought of gardening, and walking Maggie and playing with her grandchildren. We thank you for this wonderful medicine.
We know that there are also things that cannot be healed in this time. So, when our loved ones are affected by these illnesses, we ask you to comfort and support them. Let our love help them through the pain, and ease their way. Cousin Bob is much loved by Mick and Jodi. He will be walking across the Bridge soon, and their hearts are heavy. We ask you to hold Cousin Bob gently and let his path be an easy one. Please be with Mick and the family as they let their beloved Cousin go.
Creator – the life you give us is so sweet we long to remain here. Age is a gift, for we can look back at the wonders we have encountered along the way. But growing old is also difficult as our bodies grow frail, and health is tenuous. We thank you for giving us the wisdom of our elders, for showing us the looking glass of our own age to come.
We ask you to help us watch over our older family members, and to be with Wookie’s Grampa, and Staff and Dawson’s father. Please protect them, and let their days be full of happy memories, and without pain. Please give strength to those who care for them, for their hearts must be strong.
We ask you to watch over our family who have suffered injury and pain. Please be with Zoe as she works so hard to regain her mobility and independence. Let her grow strong enough to come home to the family and the dogs who love her so much. We also ask you to care for Mr. Staff as he works to recover from his knee injury. We also ask you to bring healing and relief to Jim, a friend who although silent is still very much a treasured part of our Quilt Family.
Creator – we thank you for the safe run accomplished by AJ and the team. We ask you to continue to watch over all of them as they train and race this season. Let their successes be as big as AJ’s heart. Let their strength be as large as the Northern Lights that shine above them. Let their running be as joyful as puppies at play.
We ask you to be with all our family members who need support, both in health and in spirit. Let bodies regain strength lost to flu and colds, let hearts regain hope lost to difficulties and hardships. Hear our voices gathered together in support of our family and let those who need comfort feel it come to them with our love.
Creator – we thank you for the day you have given us. Some are surrounded by snow, and the harsh cold winter air. Some listen to winds and storms outside their door. Some are enclosed in an icy fog that blocks out the world. But we are all breathing in the sweet air that gives us life. We are all standing upon this beautiful earth that is our home. We thank you for these things, for life and all the gifts we have.
9:05 pm on January 30th, 2013
Amen.
9:06 pm on January 30th, 2013
Amen.
9:10 pm on January 30th, 2013
Amen, Beautiful prayer. Thank You
9:16 pm on January 30th, 2013
Amen. Thank you.
9:24 pm on January 30th, 2013
We just returned to the blog, and read the beautiful prayer. We are sorry we didn’t know about the 9:00 prayer, and we thank A & L for the healing words to the Creator.
9:33 pm on January 30th, 2013
Thanks to everyone who is digging deep to get Louisa Mae to the Starting line, while still getting food for AJ and the A-Team. LM is now 61% funded whatever that means. Mom says it is good. She also says it is time for The Bed Ball. Nighty night. Hope we hear from Barb soon.
9:41 pm on January 30th, 2013
Ahhhh Men!…What a wonderful and unexpected prayer…sniffle!…I think Golinka covered everything except the state of my stomach…gurgle!…It was truly needed and appreciated nontheless!…snort!
9:43 pm on January 30th, 2013
And God bless the Pug’s tummy – pudgy as it is….
giggle
9:43 pm on January 30th, 2013
Our Lady has blurry eyes right now at the thoughtfulness of Leonard, the Storyteller not the dog, and Amalia for including Cousin Bob in the prayer. He may not have Plunderer badge, but let us tell youse, he and his wife are part of Snowhook. Cousin Bob was with us during the photo shoot for Born to Run last year. He cheered each dog as they were brought to the outdoor makeshift studio from the comfort of a camp chair. He cheered them again when they were ushered back to the kennel. If he saw either of us, he would have given us a 10 for looks, -5 for manners and 11.5 for not doing anything we’re told. Just the way we like it.
We have the sled loaded up with beer and hotwings. Mick likes Miller High Life and introduced our Lady to hotwings at the ripe age of just a few years ago ergo, Cousin Bob must like beer and hot wings. We’re thinking of blurring on over to Cousin Bob’s to hang with his dog, Primo for the evening. Primo has been caring for Cousin Bob single pawed, if you don’t count the two-leggeds. He needs back up. Anyone, and we mean anyone of youse is welcome to join us. Blur on over or let us know, and we’ll blur by to pick you up.
9:45 pm on January 30th, 2013
Rio: Has your stomach recovered enough for been and hotwings at Primo’s place? You should see Primo. You could walk under him no problem.
Ooh, the sled bag seems to be leaking orange sauce. (slurp) Problem resolved.
9:51 pm on January 30th, 2013
Nope!…I’m stuck her watching someone on a machine from 1980 something…heh!heh!…Plus, my stomach is still upset from last night and then again tonight…gurgle!
9:54 pm on January 30th, 2013
Rio, BSD, CHH, SiberH: Please check your SDD.
The more the sled bag leaks, the more we lick. We may never have lift off.
10:03 pm on January 30th, 2013
Old!…This watching a machine is getting damned old…grunt!sniff!sniff!…Hey, is that hotwing sauce I smell?…wheeeze!…Suddenly I am feeling better and ready for some hot-wings!….Wooooo!…Pancho if you can sneak into the back yard I will be able to sneak outside for a “quick” visit to the big tree….heh!heh!
10:08 pm on January 30th, 2013
Mick!…He sounds like he is my pug-doppleganger…heh!…He likes beer and hotwings – but who doesn’t?…Woooo!…In my opinion those who do not like beer and hotwings are not to be fully trusted…grunt!
10:09 pm on January 30th, 2013
Rio: Pretend you need to go out! out! out! now! now! now! We are here. You can ride hood ornament style on the sled if you want. We’ll do all the pulling. I wonder if Primo has ever seen an evil pug before. It’s not everyday you come across one so rare.
10:12 pm on January 30th, 2013
Hood!…Ornament!…Gah!…No thanks pals…sniff!…I’m digging down deep into the sled right now and chowing on some wings…heh!heh!…HEY! Where are all the wings anyways?…sniff!sniff!…That wasn’t just orange hot sauce youse guys were licking up, now was it?…grump!
10:13 pm on January 30th, 2013
Rio: I think Mick would agree. Perhaps it can be added to the list of core beliefs. You will meet Mick, person not puppy shortly. Mick has white hair and blue eyes and will likely have a beer in paw. Come to think of it, that describes Cousin Bob. We’ll make sure you know who is who. Both good guys and both can be trusted given the beer and hotwing theory.
10:16 pm on January 30th, 2013
Trust!….My friend has white hair and blue eyes too!…sniff!…Right now she does not have a beer in paw, but she would if she could…heh!heh!
10:16 pm on January 30th, 2013
Rio: Savannah, Luna’s second in command when it comes to care giving at the kennel, decided to blur them over separately. Something about untrustworthy. Who us? Untrustworthy? Nonsense. But, there you have it. Enjoy the sauce. We have to get the sled back before AJ knows it is gone. Anything you can do to make it look less orange would be appreciated.
10:18 pm on January 30th, 2013
Blast-off!…Alright! We need to blast out of here and pick up SiberH….Yooooo Hoooooo! SiberH, get ready to Parteeeee!…snort!snort!…And we need to get some hot wings and some really good green chili while we are down New Mexico way!….chuffle!burp!
10:19 pm on January 30th, 2013
Hot Wings you say? And Beer? Make mine a boot rear float and I’m in for a spin on the sled.
Full speed ahead!
10:20 pm on January 30th, 2013
Bear!…Git off of me!…oooooffff!…snort!…How did you get here so fast anyways?…gasp!
10:25 pm on January 30th, 2013
Primo!…He better have a good tv thats all I can say…grunt!burp!
10:27 pm on January 30th, 2013
You two, quiet down back there. You’re making the sled zig and zag. The pug goes on top of the Bear Whatchemacallit for transport. Sorry, BSD, but these are the Blurring Regulations established by the feds.
SiberH looks good in a harness, doesn’t he? It’s like he is a born sled dog.
I wonder if Natasha will make an appearance? I bet a Leonberger like Primo would have a hard time resisting the allure of the super spy.
10:33 pm on January 30th, 2013
Sorry, Rio, I didn’t see you under all the party supplies. Could we be running low on hot wings already?…better stop for more.
Woooo! Siber-H, looking good.
10:33 pm on January 30th, 2013
Let me tell youse, I like blurring much better than airplanes. The aeroplanes make me feel like I should still be up in the air even when we landed. But, the smell of hotwings is behind us and I can’t help but look over my shoulder.
I wonder if we parked the sled in the right place? Primo! We’re coming!
10:36 pm on January 30th, 2013
Are we there yet?
10:37 pm on January 30th, 2013
Primo!…That guy better be up…sniff!…What if he is sleeping? Does he have a tv, soft couch and a fridge?…snort!
10:38 pm on January 30th, 2013
Was that a dog in high heels I just saw? Natasha?
10:40 pm on January 30th, 2013
It could be the Borzoi if she heard Siber-H would be here.
10:41 pm on January 30th, 2013
I’m with you guys. Ok, I slept all the way up here, but I am ready to partee now.
I brought green chili stew from New Mexico for Rio and anyone else that might want to try it.
10:43 pm on January 30th, 2013
Bear!…Look! Those high-heels are stuck in the snowbank…hehheh!chorkel!
10:44 pm on January 30th, 2013
Well, that was a bit of hard landing, but what do you expect when you haven’t been here before. (Beep, beep) We just locked the sled and gang line with our fancy key.
Ooh! Ooh! The front light just went on and it looks like Primo is coming out to greet us. It feels like we already know him, maybe even a little more so now that we got the canine handshake of the sniff, sniff out of the way. Hey, Primo! How you doing, bud?
10:47 pm on January 30th, 2013
Sensible shoos. When will Natasha learn?
SiberH: You were sleeping in harness? Can you teach us how to do that.
Oh, CARPOLA! We left a certain pug zipped up in the sled bag. Oh, he is not going to be happy. Let’s unzip and run!
10:48 pm on January 30th, 2013
So….can sled beat Porsche? Ve don’t think so, but then again, ve do not allow the hot vings in back seat anyvay.
Siber – you do look very handsome in harness. Hmm Gives Natasha some ideas for big vedding night.
10:48 pm on January 30th, 2013
Giant!…Primo is a Giant among Giants…wheeze!…He is bigger than Bear!…zow!

Heh, heh…Primo thought you said Bud, as in Light. I think he prefers Miller.
10:51 pm on January 30th, 2013
Nattie!…That wasn’t me in the sled bag…heh!heh!…It was Maskers. He is a stow-away-kat…snort!…Now he is mad as hell..chorkel!
10:51 pm on January 30th, 2013
I made a questionable decision and left Barb in the paws of Belle Starr so I could blur to Alaska and pick up Jodi, the person not the puppy. Before take off, I told her to go to the bathroom beforepaw, bring enough snacks for everyone and don’t wiggle. She said, “No wiggling? Really? I shared with her what happened when AJ wiggled on his first blur and I dropped him half way down the driveway. She may have wiggled a little and giggled a lot, but she is at Cousin Bob’s now. Please show her a warm welcome and plenty of headbumps. Don’t minde the Kat smell on her. She can’t be perfect.
10:52 pm on January 30th, 2013
Yes, Primo, you are larger than this average Bear. What is your Lineage pray tell?
10:53 pm on January 30th, 2013
Look!….Primo has one of those nifty kegs hanging around his big ole neck…snort!!snort!…We can fill our bowls up right below him….wheeze!…Hope he doesn’t sneeze much…sniff!
10:54 pm on January 30th, 2013
Primo is the right height for Natasha, even with her high heels on.
Natasha, once again, May I remind you…your Porsche does not have a back seat.
10:55 pm on January 30th, 2013
Nattie!…Where are your shoes???…heh!heh!….Primo is just the right size for you missy…sniff!…But get out of my way as I need a refill….grunt!
10:56 pm on January 30th, 2013
Who knew SiberH could run so fast? Who know Natasha could run faster? He should have left the harness with the sled.
Uh-oh. I see the signs of Cousin Bob’s walker. I hope for his sake he doesn’t have tennis balls on the walker. Elim, and several others who shall remain nameless including me, are a sucker for tennis balls. Maybe if I just get my paws on one, he wouldn’t notice. Damn! Cousin Bob opened his eyes. Was it me or was it the Newf and party animal, Frank who was licking his face that woke him up? Hard to tell, but right now, my money is on the large newf.
10:56 pm on January 30th, 2013
Nattie!…Where are your sh-o-e-s???…heh!heh!….Primo is just the right size for you missy…sniff!…But get out of my way as I need a refill….grunt!
10:58 pm on January 30th, 2013
Hey!…The Newf-Gang is here…heh!heh!…(Maskers is still in the sled-bag)….chorkel!…Mac the Newf, how ya doing?…wheeze!
10:58 pm on January 30th, 2013
SiberH: Then what were you doing in the non-existent back seat of Natahsa’s porshe when we crashed Spence’s house? Or, was that your truck?
10:58 pm on January 30th, 2013
This is the trip of my dreams…Alaska in winter.
10:59 pm on January 30th, 2013
Somebody better let the kat out of the (sled)bag. I call the thieves, Pancho and Lefty. They have quick paws and can run fast.
11:01 pm on January 30th, 2013
Bag!…heh!snort!heh!….Someone finally got the kat-in-the-sled-bag joke…chorkel!
11:01 pm on January 30th, 2013
Whitey-Lance, I was driving the Porsche. I won’t go anywhere with Natasha unless she lets me drive it.
11:03 pm on January 30th, 2013
Kat smell? What do you mean? What in Kat happened anyway…here I was blurring home and a sled, of all things, crossed my path. At least that’s the last thing I remember before waking up here in this sled bag. By the way…where is here?
11:05 pm on January 30th, 2013
Kats!…Speaking of Kats, whats that smell?…sniff!…Oh its that Jodi, the girl, not the guy….sniff!…She must have Kats in her house…wheeze!…I won’t hold it against her, but I refuse to sit on her lap tonight…burp!…Primo, fill er’ up pal…heh!
11:06 pm on January 30th, 2013
Here is Cousin Bob’s House, Minnesota.
Masquers: When the Plunderers are involved sometimes it is best to keep your paws and tail inside the ride at all times and ask few questions. That’s what my Mama tells me.
11:07 pm on January 30th, 2013
Rio: My guess is Jodi, the person not the puppy will forgive you for “Oh, de Pug Farts” if you forgive her for smelling like kats.
11:08 pm on January 30th, 2013
Minnesota!…heh!heh!…I hope no one tells SiberH he is in Minnesota and not Alaska tonight…snort!
11:09 pm on January 30th, 2013
Oh, I thought we were in Alaska. Well, Minnesota is good too. It is cold and snow is on the ground.
11:10 pm on January 30th, 2013
My goodness it sounds like there is a party in AK. Nobody invited me. sniff. Well (huff) I guess I will go to bed. If I had known about it before hand I could have stowed away like Masquers. I am sure that would have been fun.
Ummm Hot Wings? Beer? What about salmon cakes and tuna juice cocktails? sigh. Dogs are so easily pleased.
Nighty Noodle you wild ones.
Mr.Husky, be careful out there in the cold wild. You should know where Natasha is at every moment. Keep your guard way up.
11:10 pm on January 30th, 2013
Ve vere driving so fast, our avatar could not keep up
11:11 pm on January 30th, 2013
Wait a minute. They are in Minnesota? Where? I am in Minnesota TOO!
11:12 pm on January 30th, 2013
That’s what happens when you snooze and blur. You end up in Minnesota instead of Alaska. Either way, there isn’t any other place we’d like to be tonight than visiting with Cousin Bob and Primo’s house.
Do you think the wheels on Cousin Bob’s easy chair will hold up to being pulled around the house? This is lap two and so far so good. We think Cousin Bob was a little surprised when he woke up on the first lap, but started hooping and hollaring by the time the Newf pack, all eight of them, rounded the northside corner of the house.
11:14 pm on January 30th, 2013
Abbie: It was an impromtu crashing, er party at Primo’s house. I’m making a run for salmon bon-bons before heading to back to Barb. I’m happy to drop by and blur you over. The same goes for anyone else that needs blurring to Primo’s house. This is a party for one and all!
11:15 pm on January 30th, 2013
Abbie: There must be some salmon treats around here somewhere.
11:15 pm on January 30th, 2013
Awwww!…This here couch looks nice and comfy…sniff!sniff!,…I think I will lie down right here and keep my eye on Primo and his traveling keg…sneezee!zzz!snore!zzzz!
11:17 pm on January 30th, 2013
Too many beers and the pug is down for the count.
11:17 pm on January 30th, 2013
There you have it. Salmon bon-bons coming right up.
11:18 pm on January 30th, 2013
Oh dear – is very difficult. Of course Siber is first love, but that Vhitey-Lance is very handsome doggie.
Oh. Hello Primo. Is good to be meeting big handsome doggie like you. Vould you like to go for ride in Natasha’s red Porshe?
11:18 pm on January 30th, 2013
Since we are in Minnesota, I wonder how far we are from Staff?
Natasha, be careful with the Porsche.
I am going to go to sleep now and pretend I am sleeping out in Alaska on the Iditarod trail. Don’t tell mom I am sleeping outside.
It is great to see old friends and make new ones. Primo is a great guy. Hope he can come to all our parties.
night all
11:20 pm on January 30th, 2013
They had regular salmon bon-bons at the store and kat-nip flavored bon-bons. I got both as well as some ice cream for the root beer floats which turn into boot rear floats if you’ve had one too many.
Rio: Lefty snuck in your house when you were loading up in the sled and grabbed some of your baseball toys so you would have them with you tonight. Don’t worry, no one, especially your Friend’s mom saw anything. Mostly didn’t see anything.
11:20 pm on January 30th, 2013
Natasha, Let Primo drive if you are taking the Porsche for a drive.
11:23 pm on January 30th, 2013
That looks like a lion’s mane blowing in the wind. My guess is Natasha let Primo drive the porshe. Lucky dog. That is okay. My tail wags for Princess Sam.
11:23 pm on January 30th, 2013
Hi All! My dad (aka Cousin Bob) is asleep right now so we can raid the fridge. I saw Mick bring in a whole case of Miller Highlife earlier this evening, hiccup,(oops)not to say that there’s much left at this time. I’m a big feller, so I hope you are bringing enough hotwings for all!
On behalf of our whole family, bless you all for your prayers and thoughts. My man is having a tough time and needs all the prayers that can be sent his way. My mom (Cousin Judy) is a very strong soul, but thank goodness Mick is here to help her out.
The porch light is on in great anticipation of your arrival! Knock 3 times and and ask for Primo. Be vewy, vewy, quiet. We don’t want to get caught!
11:29 pm on January 30th, 2013
Primo is a Great host and member of the nation within. And Cousin Bob & Judy, Mick & Jodi are my kind of people.
11:29 pm on January 30th, 2013
Hey, Primo! You are a good looking fella now that we get sight of you in the porch light. And, big, too. Every thought about a career as a wheel dog for a race team?
We here at Snowhook Kennel love you, Cousin Bob and your mom, Judy. You have always shown us great kindness and our mama says she liked all youse from the start. A friend of Mick and Jodi’s is a friend of our. Always.
Caught! I think we’re as good as caught especially with the fifth lap around the kennel with Cousin Bob and his lazy chair. Don’t worry, he seems to be having a great time. In the morning, we will clean up after ourselves. This clean up consists primarily of nosing all the Miller High Life empties at the foot of Mick’s bed and around Cousin Bob.
11:33 pm on January 30th, 2013
Primo – shhhh. Do not rev Porsche engine so loud. Is not jalopy.
Beside vhich, Siber vill vant come along and ve vould rather just go for drive vith big fuzzy dog.
11:36 pm on January 30th, 2013
Natasha: You can’t blame a dog for wanting to go fast his first time driving the porshe. Besides, I think SiberH, like Rio partook of one too many. The former is sound asleep in the snow like a real sled dog. Dog pile! Whoa! I don’t think SiberH was expecting to get tackled by Snowhook’s finest. That’s what happens when you’re the first sled dog to fall asleep.
11:37 pm on January 30th, 2013
Can’t wait to blur up to Alaska to get the feel of being the wheel dog (or was the the “real” dog?). I’ve heard all about Whitey-Lance from our Alaskan family members, Gracie, Callie and Miller (the cat not the beer). They’re all big fans of the kennel. Maybe if my dad puts a turbo on his new recliner we can do nightly laps around our farm in Minnesota for training purposes. Maybe skis would be appropriate at this point. Don’t worry about the Miller empties, Mick will be the owner of that chaos!
11:41 pm on January 30th, 2013
Wheeeeee! That was ‘interesting’. I have never blurred before. Usually I am frightened when outside of the house but I was picked up on one porch and whizzed to another porch. There was a secret knock and then…yum-o the best food and drink. Catnip flavored salmon bon-bons. I don’t mind if I do…
Alice is going to be really sorry she missed all this.
11:41 pm on January 30th, 2013
I just got a call from the Go-phone given to the team for emergency purposes. I answere the call and all I heard was, “WWWHHHEEEeeeeeeeee!” A la the pig in the insurance commercials. There was a couple of new voices in the mix. It must have been Primo and Cousin Bob.
Primo: Wheel dog is a position in the team. It is the position closest to the sled and usually comprised of some the strongest, if not the largest dogs on the team because they have to help swing the sled around turns.
11:43 pm on January 30th, 2013
Abbie: I was happy to pick you up on the porch. Thank you for minding my rules. They seem like nothing, but make the blur go much easier.
11:45 pm on January 30th, 2013
Drifting off to sleep with Amalia & Leonard’s Beautiful words on my mind and in my Heart – Bear
11:45 pm on January 30th, 2013
Staff will be real excited that I met another Minnesota cat. Miller is a good name. Us northern kats ought to stick together. I will have to tell Miller about our farm in North Dakota where we live all summer when Staff is not taking care of her parents.
I wonder if Uncle Bob gives treats out. I have been missing my treats lately.
11:48 pm on January 30th, 2013
“WWWWHHEEeeee-WWHHEEee” This is fun! I like this Porsche! A little more head room would be nice though! Perfect fit for Rio! Snowbella, I would love to swing the sled around corners. When do I start???
Hey, how do I make my picture a little smaller?? I don’t want to intimidate any of you small fries….
11:49 pm on January 30th, 2013
Well…look at all the big bad dawgs out for the count…unlike a couple of kool kats I know. Heh, heh.
11:50 pm on January 30th, 2013
Not you, Primo. You are one of the kool ones (for a dog).
11:55 pm on January 30th, 2013
Actually…come to think of it…some of my closest friends are dogs.
Pondering.
11:57 pm on January 30th, 2013
Thanks Masquers! I pride myself in being able to run with the best of the big dogs (or the kool kats!) But, alas, I must confess that it’s my bedtime. Standing watch by dad’s side tonight. Making sure he has a cold nose to to nuzzle to.
Thanks again for adopting me in to your group and all your prayers for dad! I like you guys. You’re fun!!!
12:01 am on January 31st, 2013
I will email the avatar instructions to Jodi, the person not the pup, that she can send along to your mom.
We are getting ready to bed down, tip of tail to nose while our Lady goes out to do dog chores.
Nighty noodles.
Did someone say something about fries…?
12:02 am on January 31st, 2013
Good night, Primo. Consider you and yours one of the Plunderers now. Saying prayers for your dad.
12:04 am on January 31st, 2013
Goodnight, Bella. Goodnight everyone.
12:04 am on January 31st, 2013
And don’t forget – glamorous!
12:15 am on January 31st, 2013
Goodnight, Nattie.
2:27 am on January 31st, 2013
Primo, it is very nice to meet. You are doing noble work, and we will help you.
3:01 am on January 31st, 2013
Great party! I am sorry to have missed it but I enjoyed virtually meeting Primo and Cousin Bob. {{{hugs}}}
8:25 am on January 31st, 2013
Wow, miss a little, you miss a lot on this here blog! Sounds like a great partee, and what’s this? A newly-minted Plunderer!!!!! Welcome Primo!
8:44 am on January 31st, 2013
Greetings!
Sounded like I missed a great partay last night. Welcome Primo. This is a good bunch on this here blog.
T&G: Thanks to your mum and dad for that gorgeous prayer. Would you post it on Dishlickers?
Rio! Mea culpa! Please check your SDD when able.
Hey, OHs, hope youse guys are having a good morning!
8:53 am on January 31st, 2013
Hi Rose! We here are all tip top this morning, now that we are allowed outside once again. It was so dar foggy and rainy and windy last night that Mom didn’t trust us to be out. Now the sun is out and the fog is gone. Unfortunately it is windy as all get out though.
4:19 pm on April 7th, 2013
r u confident that’s true?
