Skyping
“How did it go?” Spence says. “Skyping with those high school kids in Oklahoma?”
“I was too low down,” says Admin.
“I’m sorry?”
“In the chair. But I didn’t realize until it was over. All they could see was the top of my head.”
“Didn’t they say anything about it?”
“Too polite.”
“Well – now you know for next time?”
“Next time?” Grump.
A Cat Was Involved: We’ll have the pub date and more news soon.

The students should have said something. Hope that they asked good questions. If that’s the title of the short story (in pink print), I like it.
Good morning all.
9:01 am on April 27th, 2012
Good morning, Bee! I’ve never skyped, but I thought there was a little screen-within-the-screen so you can see what the other guy was seeing. Maybe not. I like the title, too. Only it shoud be “A Kat Was Involved.” I thought Spence could spell better than that. Speaking of spelling, Dad thinks we should start spelling Possum’s name as “Pawsome,” cuz she has paws and she’s awesome. I think not!
9:39 am on April 27th, 2012
Short!… I should have known! Admin is as short or shorter than Spencer….snort!…No wonder they couldn’t’ see him…heh!snort!heh!….Oh, I am rolling on the floor laughing my tail off…chorkel! wheeze!
9:41 am on April 27th, 2012
Kat!…A Kat Was Involved?…heh!heh!…Oh this is gonna be good…sneeze!…Although it should be A Kat and Some Blood Was Involved…heh!heh!
9:48 am on April 27th, 2012
Finally Kats will be getting top billing in a Chet and Bernie story. Up to now it has been dogs dogs dogs. Some kat involvement should break the story wide open! Heh!
9:58 am on April 27th, 2012
Alice!…Wouldn’t it be funny if you were the Kat involved in the story?…heh!…A golden feline with hypnotic eyes being chased by Chet….snort!…I wonder what happens when he catches you…sniff!…Oh! That might be where the blood part comes in…heh!
10:04 am on April 27th, 2012
Bucket!…That Pug Inna Bucket song was pretty clever last night…heh!heh!
10:11 am on April 27th, 2012
B&M: How was your first night on the ‘inside?’
10:18 am on April 27th, 2012
I am sure Chet would be mesmerized by my beautiful plumy tail and my lovely golden green eyes. Heh!
10:30 am on April 27th, 2012
Wipe, wipe, smear, whip, squeak!
There .. Now i can see the computer screen after splorting all over it whilst reading last night’s comments. Pug in a bucket. Still chortling.
Did they have to handcuff Barb to get the orange polish on her fingernails?
Today .. Have no idea what’s happening. There will be drama (where is that off button), there will be cocoa. That’s all I know.
Anyhoo, whoda guessed this?
10:38 am on April 27th, 2012
Spence’s post this morning paints a funny picture.
From last night:
Rio, What in the world were you watching on tv that mentioned the Isotopes several times? I don’t even know how they are doing so far this year.
Steve said that the Art of Racing in the Rain is going to be a movie. It could be a good movie.
Melanie, Is that photo for real?
10:43 am on April 27th, 2012
Spencer!…Pickin’ anna Grinnin’…heh!snort!
10:46 am on April 27th, 2012
I have better things to do with my life, but today I am going into the big city and have my teeth cleaned and one tiny filling.
Maybe Rose and I will be “under” at the same time. We could meet in dreamland and take a nice walk together.
10:49 am on April 27th, 2012
Isotopes!…I was watching an episode of In Plain Sight…snort!…It is filmed in New Mexico and one of the on again/off again characters is a baseball player…heh!…In this episode he came back because he got a job as one of the Isotopes Managers…heh!
10:57 am on April 27th, 2012
I got out on a work-release program. CL doesn’t like my orange nail polish, but she’ll get over it.
Racing in the Rain movie, isn’t Johnny Depp staring in it?
Hope Rose is doing ok, and the drama is kept to a minimum in Newfie Land.
11:02 am on April 27th, 2012
hmmm He would really be working for the Dodgers organization if he got a job as an Isotopes manager. The do have dog night at the Isotopes ballpark, but who are they kidding, it is too hot.
11:03 am on April 27th, 2012
B&M: Yep, right after he finishes filming his starring role as Hamlet!
11:06 am on April 27th, 2012
Johnny Depp in Racing in the Rain? He might like the role of the dog so he could be in costume. I wouldn’t want to see his interpertation of what a dog looks like, though. Tonto and Barnabus are sad enough.
11:13 am on April 27th, 2012
Yes Siber-H, that picture is for real. (Just not our SQ!)
BELLA! Please check SDD.
11:16 am on April 27th, 2012
Next time we have a camping trip, we have to invite Spencer and his banjo along. With Rio on harmonica, Siber on tamborine, Masquers on sax, the Prof on guitar and Spence and Redbone pickin’, it out to be a concert like no other.
Mama is going to the Clay Place today, come h e l l or high water. She says grocery shopping and errands have to happen too. We don’t know why – we have plenty of kibble in our bin, and fresh bones in the freezer. What else could we possibly need around here?
11:18 am on April 27th, 2012
On that camping trip…..? We get to sing!

12:24 pm on April 27th, 2012
12:35 pm on April 27th, 2012
Rio – I think your friend should get braces put on your teeth.
12:41 pm on April 27th, 2012
A certain min-pin kept me up all night with banging a tin can in the bars. “I was framed, I tell you! Framed!” Once I reminder Macy that she said the B word, she said, “Oh, yes, of course.” Macy and I had a piece if pie last night. Delish!
12:58 pm on April 27th, 2012
Teeth!…Beau has beautiful white straight teeth. His teeth are perfect except for that one that went missing in the lower bottom somehow…cough!… Even so, he never chews his food, he just swallows everything whole…heh!…If I could chew, I would….sniff!

Steve & Siber-H: Hope they don’t mess up the movie version of …Racing in the Rain. Can’t imagine what the play would be like. JD can play Enzo when it comes out on Broadway.
Barb&Magpie: Congratulations on your work release. Too bad it has to be in CLL.
Melanie: How is Dan taking the news?
2:29 pm on April 27th, 2012
O-No!…Get this! I just got a text from my friend who is at the busy-place being really busy….sniff!…She said she ran into the gal who bought the Mothers Day Bouquet…grunt!…She gave it to her mother last night for some reason and now her mother wants another one!!. Only different but with the same awful colors….gasp!…. My friend did not commit to doing this thing…wheeze!
2:53 pm on April 27th, 2012
Hey youse guys!
Lightning struck, and after a quick stop on the way home to the Prof’s college, I am back home!
Rio! It’s a good thing I was not drinking or eating anything when I saw the close-up of your teeth, or I would have splorted over my iPaw. My bottom teeth kind of look like that even with the wire that’s supposed to be holding them in place!!!
SiberH: I had a nice dream while I was under about you and I playing in the snow…
Anyone who mentions the person who should not be mentioned on this blog, deserves an orange should be busting up rocks in the hot sun wearing an orange jumpsuit and nail polish….and NO PIE FOR YOU!
3:03 pm on April 27th, 2012
Rose: Never would I mention the forbidden name. Orange just isn’t my color.
3:04 pm on April 27th, 2012
Although…I do like pie…..
3:14 pm on April 27th, 2012
Forbidden!…Whose forbidden name?..snort!
3:17 pm on April 27th, 2012
It was a lovely evening, splitting a pie with Bella. And the orange nail polish makes me look a little Halloweenish, but it is quite pretty.
So how shall we mend him, dear Tupper, dear Tupper…….
With duct tape, says Tupper, says Tupper…..
3:40 pm on April 27th, 2012
In the play a man plays Enzo instead of using a dog. In the movie McDreamy play the lead. I guess in real life he races.
3:56 pm on April 27th, 2012
Belle Start reports that the Rose is resting and plans for online shopping when Luna isn’t looking are being made.
3:58 pm on April 27th, 2012
I also wonder who is not supposed to be mentioned.
Glad you’re back home Rose.
4:04 pm on April 27th, 2012
I don’t know who shouldn’t be mentioned either.
4:14 pm on April 27th, 2012
Are they talking about the JD guy?
4:16 pm on April 27th, 2012
When YSAS was much younger and lived more south, he knew he was going to be an actor. The school there did not have a drama program just a night of short plays.
He tried out.
Since he was new and the teachers didn’t realize that even though he had all those learning differences he could memorize lines, he got the part of the Family Dog on a vacation.
Since YSAS is ADHD he played the role with flair.
Dan update: He is taking the move pretty well considering that he stood up out of the wheelchair at the hospital and fell. He now knows he needs rehab.

Wise dog Enzo (David S. Hogan), left, and his beloved human Denny (Eric Riedmann) in Book-It’s adaptation of “The Art of Racing in the Rain.”
4:31 pm on April 27th, 2012
Mom here: I will pick up Siber-H later (through Friday rush hour traffic)
They must mean the dude who is playing Tonto is the one that can’t be mentioned.
Who is McDreamy?
Beau, Keep chewing on your nylabone and maybe you will never have to have your teeth cleaned. Siber-H hates nylabones.
Rose, Siber-H will be glad you hear you are back home.
4:33 pm on April 27th, 2012
Wha!?…Are you kidding me?…snort!…Thats the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen!…grunt!…Except for this…sniff!

Time for a little mid-afternoon legal humor (with apologies to T&G):
4:44 pm on April 27th, 2012
And one more:
4:50 pm on April 27th, 2012
Someone tell who I’m not supposed to mention so I can mention him.
Rio: Snort! Are you sure that isn’t Demi Moore?
4:56 pm on April 27th, 2012
Dawson!…Yes!
4:56 pm on April 27th, 2012
My apologies to Demi Moore. I was having a grey moment…formerly known as a blonde moment.
5:02 pm on April 27th, 2012
Barnabus!…Maybe its just me, but I do not remember Barnabus wearing cool sunglasses…grunt!
5:25 pm on April 27th, 2012
Strange isn’t relative, it is just strange.
5:29 pm on April 27th, 2012
Motto!…Is that Deps motto these days?…snort!…I don’t get it or him…sniff!
5:36 pm on April 27th, 2012
It does look a little like Demi, now that you mention it! Those long nails are just plain creepy!
Love those Corgis above. Thanks for a little legal humor, Wookie.
5:44 pm on April 27th, 2012
Mom here: The dentist called. I’m going after Siber-H now. It all went well. He has already conned them out of some food.
5:52 pm on April 27th, 2012
Food!…That’s my pal SiberH, The Con-Guy…heh!
6:44 pm on April 27th, 2012
Beau: I didn’t know you were a religious scholar.
I hope Rose and Dan are doing well.
Dawson: How long are you visiting these United States?
I am so very glad today is Friday. I just might kick off a bit early and go see my husband. I wonder if he still looks the same.
7:07 pm on April 27th, 2012
I am back again. Not only did I get the lightning bolts, but I made the mistake of double booking my psych and therapist appointment today too! And, to make matters worse, when I went to the psych’s office, I did something I haven’t done in years….I fell getting out of the car! Now I have a scraped chin, and knees!
Smoochers: I need some extra TLC.
Siber’s Mom: I’m glad to hear all went well! Tummies and rubs to Siber.
Wookie: You are way funny! Your posts made me laugh out loud.
McDreamy….Patrick Dempsey, not a McDonald’s hamburger.
7:08 pm on April 27th, 2012
Siber, Patrick Dempsey is known as Dr. McDreamy on Grey’s Anatomy. Barb’s bro was voted Dr. McDreamy by his nursing staff at Duke, but he refused to have it in the paper (cuz he is humble, married and doesn’t want that kind of notoriety). So the 2nd place guy took the honor. What can we say, he has beauty and brains. He looks sort of like John Kennedy Jr. with greying hair. He is a very hot hunk!
7:19 pm on April 27th, 2012
Rose: No need to be embarrasses. My Bearded one wonders all the time how it is that my two legged can be standing one minute on dry, flat ground and flat on her back the next second. It’s not pretty. No one can even notice your scraped chin not that I’ve put that sparkly bandage over it. They are my favorite kind, not like those boring tan bandages. I’m sending the Professor out for an ice cream run and then Masquers, Luna and I are going to have movie night with you. I call dibs on your lap.
7:34 pm on April 27th, 2012
Snowhook Bella: I will be in the US for most of the summer, minus a couple weeks in the middle when I go back for some weddings and to see if the man is still there, the cats are alive and the quilt is still hidden (not necessarily in that order).
Rose: Ouch! I agree with Snowhook about the bandages. Sparkly or neon colored or anything but tan. Right now I have pirate and helicopter bandages available. Probably not your thing.

Heh! Dawson does a Double Dawson!
7:47 pm on April 27th, 2012
Double D Dawson is at it again.
Rose, You and I posted at the same time about Dr. McDreamy!
Picked up a pizza after work, getting ready to watch Who Do You Think You Are. Love that show!
7:47 pm on April 27th, 2012
Dawson – That’s a genuine Double Dawson. How did you do that? I thought you had fixed the problem with a new mouse, but now you’re at Staff’s house.
7:48 pm on April 27th, 2012
Double Dawson!
Belle Starr: My chin feels much better with the sparkly bandage! I have my special Wizard of Oz quilt ready to snuggle under!

B&M: How about that!? Thinking same thoughts at the same time! 🙂
Belle Starr: Who gets to pick the movie?
7:56 pm on April 27th, 2012
SiberH: Are you okay?
7:58 pm on April 27th, 2012
Rose: You pick, then I pick, then Masquers will pick, then I will pick, then Luna will pick. I will pick. The Professor will pick. Then I will pick.
7:58 pm on April 27th, 2012
I’m back! Play Ball!!!
8:01 pm on April 27th, 2012
Rio: I hate to admit this, but your Rockies are at the moment playing NY’s better baseball team…..
8:03 pm on April 27th, 2012
Belle Starr: That is a good plan!
8:05 pm on April 27th, 2012
Steve: Have you seen the play? I don’t know if I could bear to watch our beloved Enzo portrayed by a man acting like a member of the Nation Within.
Wookie! You, my friend, are on a roll. Where is that bottle of Cahors anyway…..
Siber-H: Just what did the doggy-dentist you? That was quite the slid onto the blog.
8:22 pm on April 27th, 2012
Rose, I’m doing very well, thank you. The doggy dentist said that everything in my big mouth looked good.
I’m sorry you did a mother or a Rebecca and fell.
Thank for you replies as to who McDreamy is. McDonalds would be my first choice.
8:29 pm on April 27th, 2012
Bear, The doggy dentist cleaned my teeth, did one filling where I had a small chipped tooth, and took a full mouth set of x-rays. They took a picture of me in recovery with a stuffed pink bunny and gave the photo to my mom. I did not get to bring the pink bunny home. What I came home with was a bandana around my neck…cheap.
8:38 pm on April 27th, 2012
Who says strange isn’t relative – we wanna tell ya, we have some of the strangest relatives you could ever want.
But not that Corgi lawyer – he’s not strange at all. Thats our cousin, the famous attorney Pembroke Mason. His arch rival in the courtroom is the District Attorney Ham Burger. But its ok – Cousin Pem always gets a bite out of his cases. He is ably assisted by his loyal sec-atary Della Peke and his investigator Paul (the Great) Dane.
8:44 pm on April 27th, 2012
Siber-H: What I wouldn’t give to see you in that photo with the stuffed pink bunny. Heh,heh. Can your mom be bribed?
Tupper&Gilly: Those were the days of good courtroom drama. Good to know it continues on in the Nation.
8:45 pm on April 27th, 2012
SiberH, that dentist visit was expensive. You should have been given the pink bunny to keep. I know from your pictures that the bunny is your kind of toy. Jeez.
8:57 pm on April 27th, 2012
Pembroke!…snort!…Rocky The Undercover Squirrel and his gang of Hillbillies had to appear in court that one time after being accused of planting bed bugs, and ole Pembroke got them off lickety split on a technicality…chorkel!

SiberH!…Soft food?…heh!…You mean like Hot Wings, Hot Dawgs, Burritos and Cotton Candy?….Woooo!…You’ve got it made pal!..snort!
9:49 pm on April 27th, 2012
Cotton candy is soft.
My mother is soaking my kibble which I usually eat dry. My mom can be a grand pain in the you know what sometimes.
The Mets pitcher has a mullet.
10:08 pm on April 27th, 2012
SiberH, you’re playing this all wrong. First, you have the sympathy going for you because of your ordeal. Second, yummy canned dog food is SOFT.
10:09 pm on April 27th, 2012
Hey!…What happened to our pitcher?…snort!…One minute he’s there and the next he is gone…grunt!… Relatively, strange.
10:09 pm on April 27th, 2012
Nevermind, It is the Met’s outfielder that has the mullet. I am still a little stoned.
10:13 pm on April 27th, 2012
Sam, Mom just thinks she can out smart me. She doesn’t want me to know that canned dog food exists.
The announcers don’t know what happened to our pitcher either.
10:14 pm on April 27th, 2012
Chorkel!…I’m still chorkeling over “Paul(the Great) Dane”….heh!snort!

10:38 pm on April 27th, 2012
Cargo really smacked that ball. It is a whole new ballgame.
10:38 pm on April 27th, 2012

10:39 pm on April 27th, 2012
TIED!….Wow!Wow!Wow!…heh!choke!….Cargo comes through with a Home run!…Wow!…And still no outs! This is getting pretty darned exciting. I wonder if Rose and the Prof are watching this game too….sniff!…Oh right, she has all those moochers staying with her…grunt!

Rio: Any chance your friend will leave your new laptop on for you tomorrow while she is out and about?
11:46 pm on April 27th, 2012
Reba!..heh!…The new laptop will be downstairs as always…sniff!…But her mother will not let me down here by myself. She thinks I will get into “trouble” or cause “trouble”…gruffle!…So, no I will not be able to hang-out with my nerdie blog friends while my other friend is out and about…grunt!
11:49 pm on April 27th, 2012
It was worth a shot, Rio. I hope your friend has fun tomorrow.
11:58 pm on April 27th, 2012
Fun!…Heck! She has a whole weekend of Fun planned…grunt!…Tomorrow, as I already laid out…sniff!…Then Sunday is the Big Rockies vs Mets game she gets to go to…wheeze!…Best seats EVER!…heh!…She says she will take lots of photos for me of Tod Helton, if he is allowed to play that day…grunt!…Otherwise it will be photos of Giambi…Wooooo!..That guy is my hero!..heh!…He is Golden!…snort!…She is kind of worried because there is only one mit between her and her friend. Those balls always come very close to my friend, no matter where she sits!…snort!

12:09 am on April 28th, 2012
Rebecca!…What are you talking about?…sniff!
12:14 am on April 28th, 2012
