I will look at the link after a few whiles. Just wanted you guys to know that it’s snowing in the hills of Western MA.
Last night GLAD called me to check about what to wear for my niece’s Bridal Shower. She thought she might wear a sundress. I couldn’t stop laughing!
9:29 am on April 12th, 2013
Brando is an interesting name. Tomorrow it may snow here and Monday it’s supposed to be 71. It’s been raining so much that worms are all over the sidewalk.
Good morning all.
9:30 am on April 12th, 2013
Good morning Melanie and all. Sundress wouldn’t work here either – in the 40s, 10 degrees below average. At least it will be in the 60s on Sunday when Josh builds the first raised garden bed. Now if it would just dry out so we could get some dirt delivered. Not happening soon!
Liked the story about Brando. Cood dude! Especailly liked the video with the sheep. Wonder about his breeding. He looked like he could have some Mastif in him.
9:31 am on April 12th, 2013
V-E-T!…Someone is home this morning because she needs to take Beau to the you-know-whatsit…sniff!…He was up every two hours doing unbelievable things to the carpet….snort!
9:37 am on April 12th, 2013
Poor beau.
9:39 am on April 12th, 2013
Rio: you are a tattle tale.
Beau: Paws, tails and eyes crossed for your “visit”. Get well soon.
Spence: You rat! Just when we thought we were getting over Ella, here’s a memorial to a dog who looked like her but with long legs! Especially the puppy pix. Thank you.
Mel, Barb and B: Spring has to get to ya’ll soon.
Wild night here, light & sound show till the wee hours but no “scaredy-cat” doggies.
wil
9:46 am on April 12th, 2013
Beau, feel better!
We haven’t heard anything about Pearl lately. Wonder how she is.
Getting ready for PT, then picking up Jack at the bike shop, then Lyla after school. No nap for Barb today!
10:00 am on April 12th, 2013
Melanie – no snow here, just cold rain.
Beau – hope you get your backside sorted out.
Off to the wonderful world of iv’s and backless gowns.
Later
10:16 am on April 12th, 2013
B & S, Hope your dad is doing great this morning. Barb agrees with the backless gowns – it is hard to maintain your desire for privacy when you are dressed in one of those. The hospital staff probably doesn’t think twice about those things, but we do. Takes a little getting used to.
Do you know how long he will be in rehab?
Off to PT. BBL
10:16 am on April 12th, 2013
Oops! We were so busy licking salt off mom’s face this a.m., we for got to say…Gooood morning everyone! T&G’s mama: Pass along the HOH pawsitive energy for a swift recovery.
10:39 am on April 12th, 2013
Poor Beau, I sure hope he is going to do better. And I hope his friends mother has learned her lesson. Yuck on the carpet is a strong motivator.
The spare room for Dawson is sewing free.
Now we have to wait until 10:31 tonight. She will be on SunCountry flight#SY 284 leaving Seattle at 5:25 pm arriving at MSP at 10:31 pm.
10:46 am on April 12th, 2013
Good morning. It is raining Kats and Meashkas here. Mom won’t let us out of the
jailhouse.We are glad ours is not snow, however. Even though we are huskies, we love Spring and Summer. We get much more time outdoors and the ‘rents are usually out there with us.
11:03 am on April 12th, 2013
That is nice tribute to Brando.
Fellow Sibers, Don’t forget Husky sunbathing. One of the great things about summer along with Baseball.
Rio, When you can, let us know how Beau’s trip to the vet went.
T&G Hope your dad is continuing to improve. We bet he is.
Good Morning All
11:05 am on April 12th, 2013
The movie, 42, opens today.
We want to see it.
11:42 am on April 12th, 2013
Siber: Mom wants to see it as she grew up in So. Cal. and remembers the Dodgers coming from Brooklyn. Robinson was a big name then and she grew up unaware of the “color bar” till the 60’s.
12:40 pm on April 12th, 2013
We want to see that movie also.
Siber, yes! Husky sunbathing…on nice warm stones!
1:10 pm on April 12th, 2013
We want to see 42. It should be a really good movie. Jackie Robinson’s widow was on tv the other day. She is about 90 and sharp as a tack!
2:05 pm on April 12th, 2013
The Latest Report : A Pink Bulldozer was seen ripping up the halls of the hospital last night. After spending the afternoon chatting and planning with the Storyteller, Mama returned last night to find him feverish, incoherent and disoriented. He had an IV but had no idea why.
It was (rather strongly) suggested to his nurse that there should be labs drawn, Tylenol administered and CHECK THE DOSAGE of his pain meds.
Anyway – today he is much more alert.
So the doctor was just in. She admits he was way overdosed and she has written up the nurse. And she is having blood drawn daily to make sure of no infection. Doctor told Mama it was good that she was here to advocate for him.
Hey- this ain’t Mama’s first square dance, ya know.
Also – Melanie came to see Leonard today. She brought him the the wonderful messages that you all sent. Thank you so much. BlueCat sent a beautiful prayer, and Dawson said she understands tears. We sure wish we did cuz Mama seems to spend an awful lot if time crying which doesn’t make any sense since the Storyteller is doing so well.
Humans are just weird.
But every message was lovely and felt like an invisible hug. Youse guys are the best.
2:13 pm on April 12th, 2013
Storyteller, hospitals are scary places. Dad was very lucky with his hospital stays but Mom was there 24/7. The cat sitter spent several nights with us so we wouldn’t be so worried. Thank dog that Amalia was there to get the dr’s attention.
2:19 pm on April 12th, 2013
Go, go, Golinka. You keep an eye (or several) on Leonard. Sounds like all is in paw again. We’ll still keep ya’ll in our prayers.
2:35 pm on April 12th, 2013
Golinka, it is good you knew what to do and not just assumed that this is the way it is. Mom would not have been that savy. Pop either. They would have just lamely thought that is how the other is going to be until they get off pain meds.
We are learning a lot from youse guys.
2:41 pm on April 12th, 2013
Ditto to what the Howlers just said.
I am very glad Golinka knew what was wrong. Leonard is back on the road to recovery with a doctor that knows what he is doing. Good to hear the nurse is being written up.
3:18 pm on April 12th, 2013
Golinka aka Pink Bulldozer: Gah. One has to watch those medical personnel every minute!
Thank the Creator you were there and now have matters well in paw.
Just now got on the computer. We’ll catch up in a minute or ten.
3:21 pm on April 12th, 2013
Good for you Amalia. I am so proud of you. I know the Storyteller is also. Keep both ears up and your paw on the wheel. We will all get there yet.
3:38 pm on April 12th, 2013
I enjoyed the videos with Brandy and friends even though a few tears were shed.
I’m off to Seattle.
3:42 pm on April 12th, 2013
Had a great time watching the Pink Bulldozer square dance with those patients that were exercising in the hall. Too bad the backless gowns are never on those butts that look great.
Would you believe that they had something in the Storyteller’s end of the ward I was allergic to? Jeez Louise, you would think the hospital would be more careful.
I was able to stay until my ears and nose stuffed up. Golinka and I went down the the cafeteria and had salads. The allergen wasn’t in any other part of the hospital. Weird.
The Storyteller was as handsome as ever. I was afraid to tell him many funny stories because he has a zipper around his middle.
Now the errands are over and it’s time for a nap. See you there BSD.
3:44 pm on April 12th, 2013
Beau: Please let us know how your visit to the v-e-t went asap.
Dawson: We will be tracking your flight on the red-eye tonight. Have a good trip.
3:57 pm on April 12th, 2013
Melanie: did you stop to think that since it was only that one area thst maybe it was some person that set off your allergies?
3:59 pm on April 12th, 2013
Dawson: Safe trip. At least your’s coming to the right time so we can keep track of you without thinking!
4:00 pm on April 12th, 2013
GAH!!!! You’re not your’s. Someone, please attach brain, fingers, paws and keyboard!
4:29 pm on April 12th, 2013
Damnit! That’s right, I said a bad word. Not Chicken Lady bad. But, I’m getting worrit about Beau and that makes me grumpy. I hope our bible thumping, scripture quoting and creating friend is alright.
4:31 pm on April 12th, 2013
Herd of Hounds: Ours are rarely attached. We have learned to live with it.
4:33 pm on April 12th, 2013
SnowBella: Couch cushions are suffering in these parts. Hope Beau checks in soon!
4:35 pm on April 12th, 2013
Sorry, Belle-Starr, I Didn’t Recognize you in time before posting.
4:55 pm on April 12th, 2013
Couch cushions! Hell—yep, there’s another bad word—I’ve been gnawing on the Giants boots. His mitts are next.
5:18 pm on April 12th, 2013
Us too, We hope Beau is okay and we are anxious for news.
5:19 pm on April 12th, 2013
Be strong, Belle Starr, it may be we will be able to smell Beau before we hear from him.
Franklin is the star in passing gas in this household. Glad none of the Newfs have what little Beau has . . that’s just a scary thought.
5:22 pm on April 12th, 2013
No doubt Beau will soon be quoting his favorite Bible verse.
6:16 pm on April 12th, 2013
Glad to hear that Amalia advocated for Leonard and things are better. Barb said she was lucky with her meds. She had a few hives but was lucid at all times (at least as much as she normally is). Is this the same hospital where Melanie had so much trouble with Dan and Zoe?
Lyla’s homework is done. Peter Pan is on tv and the kiddies are sitting quietly on the sofa. Thank Dog. Now time to start some dinner for the crew.
6:24 pm on April 12th, 2013
Hey Barb, yes it is. Though at that hospital Zoe walked out. Now the rehab place? Yikes. Luckily, the Storyteller is going to a different place.
Sigh, the new episode of Elementary isn’t shown until April 25th.
Mozart is playing. Time to read.
6:33 pm on April 12th, 2013
Mom just took a really long bath, and Pop left to pick up pizza. Yep, it’s Friday night again.
Hopefully Rio is busy keeping poor Beau company, and that is why he hasn’t posted an update. Either that, or Rio had to stay out of his house because of the smell.
6:35 pm on April 12th, 2013
Okay, one more post before I read for a few whiles. snicker
6:54 pm on April 12th, 2013
Cute picture Melanie!
Will be busy most of the evening. Dinner for Josh and the kids while Jess works late. Chicken breasts with Italian seasonings and fresh lemon, fresh green beans, ravioli stuffed with spinach and cheese, and garlic bread. Then Josh is pre-cutting the boards for the raised beds, making Sunday’s assembly a little faster.
May not be back till tomorrow morning, so an early nighty noodles to all.
7:54 pm on April 12th, 2013
A watched pug never snorts. I hope we hear good news about our bible quoting friend soon.
7:58 pm on April 12th, 2013
We’re calling it an early night around here too. Mama just got back from the hospital after tucking the quilt firmly around the Storyteller.
We are going to put on a movie to doze to and will check back in when we get off the couch to go to bed to see if Beau the Magnificent Pooper has checked in.
And Dawson – welcome to the sewing…um, we mean the SPARE room.
8:18 pm on April 12th, 2013
Melanie: What? You mean we cleverly recorded a Old episode of Elementary? Dad gum it.
Calling it an early one here too – Bear
8:19 pm on April 12th, 2013
My son is taking an 8 hour test to become a full fledged surveyor today. Hence he left Bellingham for Seattle last night because he had to be there for 7:15 am. The daughter-in-law was up most of the night editing video whose deadline was today. I tried to help Bijou with her breakfast so d-i-l could get a little sleep and I learned something. Bijou is allowed to have chocolate chips for breakfast if she darn well wants to and evidently I hurt her feelings by telling her 5 only. (sigh)
I’m at the airport and the plane is on time. I purchased the latest Alexander McCall Smith Ladies #1 Detective Agency book. It is #13 in the series, which means I have missed about 5 books somehow.
Go Pink Bulldozer!
8:24 pm on April 12th, 2013
I have a new app! Up until I got very sick I was always in chorus or a choir. I was an alto, but because I could read music and sing on key, people tended to put me with the tenors. Now I am a contralto . . snicker . . just remembered that when I was in elementary school, I would answer the phone and people would think I was the Raven.
Anywoof, I loved singing The Messiah. I have found an app that teaches the different parts of the chorus songs! I am going to brush up my tenor memories and train my voice a bit and find me a Messiah sing-a-long come December.
What fun!
8:35 pm on April 12th, 2013
BSD, if the episode was Snow Angels, your Paw had it right. I think that is the last one.
Hey Dawson! Dog Speed on your trip.
If I remember that age correctly they know exactly who knows what about their schedule, be it bed time or food time. Before I had my guys I was suckered into a lot of things. Of course, my guys aren’t going to recognize me when they bring their children for a visit. I plan on having a blast. Want to finger paint your hair? Go for it. Want to wear your clothes backwards? Be my guest. (Actually that happened with YSAS. He convinced me it was backwards day. I got a call from the teacher on that one. snicker)
Hmm . . Maybe I shouldn’t write this down. I may never get grandchildren if they read it.
8:39 pm on April 12th, 2013
Melanie, what is the name of that app?
8:51 pm on April 12th, 2013
Disconnected!….grunt!…..With all the to-do about cleaning up after Beau I somehow became disconnected…grump!…These last coupla days have just been too much for my friend…sniff!
Beau!…He was a right terror at the Pet Emergency place I guess…heh!….Our normal v-e-t would not answer the phone this morning, so my friend took Beau to the other place. …grunt!…He didn’t like the place or the people and he has a few fingers as souvenirs to prove it…chuffle!
AuntieByAwTicks…sniff!….Whatever, he has to get these bad tasting pills down his gullet twice a day. Good luck with all that ….heheh!….Better him than me, that’s what I say…snort!
Jet-lag!…My friend says she feels jet-lagged because she has not slept for 48 hours…sniff!… What with Beau up and At-It every two hours it was quite an adventure every night…grunt!
Better!…After all that misery Beau is finally on the road to recovery….sniff!….At least he ate and drank something tonight after someone got home from the busy-place (a whole nutter-butter story)…yeeeep! ….Right now he is down here with us snoring away….wheeze!….Those Auntie-Em pills make him very tired. I hope he doesn’t crap in his sleep….gah!
8:54 pm on April 12th, 2013
Baseball!….Thank dawg there is a baseball game on tonight and it is not the Giants…heh!heh!….But it is still West Coast, so we will only catch part of it I bet….yawn!sneeze!
9:18 pm on April 12th, 2013
Rio, Those pills usually start working pretty fast so I hope Beau and the rest of you have a better night. I am glad your friend took him to the Animal ER.
9:21 pm on April 12th, 2013
SiberH!…They won’t soon forget him at that place, that’s for sure….heh!heh!
9:25 pm on April 12th, 2013
Melanie, with grands, Mom just doesn’t tell. Like letting the toddler eat dog kibble (neurotic d-i-l would doodle in her drawers), or allowing the 13 yr old to rope swing off a small cliff into the river or letting us sleep on the bed with them when they visit in the summer. Heck, that’s her job, to spoil them almost as much as us.
Rio: Good news about Beau.
Hope Dawson arrives safely but we’re going to bed early and will catch up in the a.m. Nighty night.
9:45 pm on April 12th, 2013
Golinka!…Did the Storyteller like the little poem I sent to him via Melanie?…snort!
9:48 pm on April 12th, 2013
Rip, give Beau (when he wakes up, For Dog Sake, don’t wake him) the Pack’s and my best. Did that make sense?
HOH, glad to have your mom as a role model.
OTAS and GLAD arrive tomorrow. I need to make the gluten free and nut free cake for the shower. Yawn . . TTFN
9:48 pm on April 12th, 2013
Dawson!…I sure wish Maskers was tracking Dawson on her journey to Minnesota for us….grunt!
9:50 pm on April 12th, 2013
Melanie!…Never fear! No one is waking Beau up…sniff!…He has been up for two plus days pooping and he finally is sawing logs….sniff!…I hope you are not going to make cakes this late at night! There is no way they will turn out the way you want them…snorttle!gulp!
9:51 pm on April 12th, 2013
Beau is at home and snoring away. Hurray!
Dawson: So sorry you are sitting at the airport alone waiting hours for that late night flight (which I will be tracking)
We here plan to sleep in tomorrow morning and I hope youse can too.
9:52 pm on April 12th, 2013
I knew there something eles.
Princess Sam, the app is called Choral Practice, Messiah.
TTFN really
10:02 pm on April 12th, 2013
Dawson is passing over A Katty Librarian RIGHT NOW!
10:13 pm on April 12th, 2013
Yaaaawwwnnnn – that was a good Miss Marple movie, but we sure are glad we know the book inside and out since we seem to have missed a scene or two while checking our eyelids for holes.
Rio – the Storyteller did like your poem. And here is one back for you:
We’re glad that Beau is sitting pretty
After the past few days of feeling….
.
.
Not very well
(Hey, we don’t want to get moderated)
G’night all.
10:15 pm on April 12th, 2013
Dawson is almost halfway there!
10:32 pm on April 12th, 2013
Rhyme!…Hey, I know what rhymes with pritty…heh!heh!…Good one Kats!…sneeze!
10:34 pm on April 12th, 2013
Maskers!…Bring Dawson home safely to her Father of Many Robes, and her Sister of Many Sewing Machines, and her Brother of Many Printing Presses…heh!
10:39 pm on April 12th, 2013
Thank you Rio. Dawson is into North Dakota now. We will head to the airport in about 1/2 hour.
10:43 pm on April 12th, 2013
Woooo!….Who knows, I might even be up when you get home with her…heh!…**doubt it!** This baseball game is good and we are kind of forgetting how tired we are…sniffle!…Except for Beau, he got another pill and is out for the count…heh!
11:02 pm on April 12th, 2013
We are getting ready to leave soon. Last check Dawson was over eastern South Dakota. In an hour we will be able to hug her.
BBL
11:03 pm on April 12th, 2013
Box!….Another good, or maybe the ONE GOOD thing that happened today was the artsy-craftsy stuff my friend ordered online actually showed up today and her credit card is still intact…heh!heh!…The stuff she received is great! She has a Big Idea and it is slowly coming together…heh!heh!…Even I am sworn to secrecy, but I can tell you this; it involves twirled pieces of paper and artsy-craftsy stuff ordered onling…grunt!
11:03 pm on April 12th, 2013
Yep. I’m still up. She is almost to Mpls.
11:10 pm on April 12th, 2013
Maskers!…Your excellent Tracking Skills do us no good if you do not report what is going on…grunt!
11:14 pm on April 12th, 2013
What the heck? A chorus of birds outside my window. What’s up with that?
Riö! What? Oh, yes…Dawson is now flying over South Dakota…24 minutes until touchdown.
11:21 pm on April 12th, 2013
Maskers!…I think you must be hallucinating about a late supper snack…heh!…Birds singing this late, even at your time, unheard of!…snort!
Dawson!…Over South D…sniff!…Is that far from MinnySota?…wheeze!…We are all getting very very very very tired here…wuffle!…if you do not hear from me again, I will be in my warm soft bed with all my baseball toys…wuffle!
11:23 pm on April 12th, 2013
Relief! I am relieved to hear Beau is resting comfortably. I hope for a peaceful night for all those at Rio’s house.
Beau has been feeling witty. Doesn’t surprise me. He always chimes in with a good one liner and dats da truth. (Hat tip to Beau).
11:27 pm on April 12th, 2013
Chiming!…No chiming in tonight with one or two liners from ole Beau…heh!…He is sleeping very tight. We are actually wondering how to wake him and get him up to his cold hard bed…sniff!…I have no ideas at this point because I want to continue watching my team play…heh!heh!
11:27 pm on April 12th, 2013
She is a l m o s t there! 12 minutes and counting. Wooo!
11:35 pm on April 12th, 2013
Tried!..Aand Tired. Someone here says she must go to bed now or else …heh!…Goodnight everyone. I’m sure you will hear from poopy-pants tomorrow…snort!…And I don’t mean Dawson.
11:37 pm on April 12th, 2013
2 minutes!
11:42 pm on April 12th, 2013
Carpola! This isn’t going to be one of those flights where the pilots overshoot the airport and head for Eau Claire is it?
11:47 pm on April 12th, 2013
Landed! 1 minute ago!
11:49 pm on April 12th, 2013
G’night everyone. ^..^
12:01 am on April 13th, 2013
The eagle has landed!
Nighty noodles.
12:04 am on April 13th, 2013
And Masquers brings another flight in for a great landing. Thank you.
Dawson is headed to the old homestead. Rio, I loved your description of those waiting for her.
12:06 am on April 13th, 2013
And here’s the recipe for Dawson’s Awesome Cawfee in case Staff loses it again!:
1 oz ground coffee per 1.25 cups cold water (i.e., 8 oz ground coffee with 10 cups of cold water).
Put coffee and water in a large jar and steep for 24 hours. Strain through Turtleman Fred’s old tshirt. Keep refrigerated. Katty likes it iced with one TBSP of cream. Dawson will have to tell you how she drinks it.
The best coffee to use is a smooth South American arabica bean.
12:55 am on April 13th, 2013
The Dawson has landed. We will be back tomorrow.
Nighty Noodle all.
1:02 am on April 13th, 2013
Elliot, we used French Roast. I measured and it is 7 oz. for the container I have. (The same one you used) Dawson was VERY happy to see that jar full of coffee.
1:25 am on April 13th, 2013
Where is my most, special, best friend, Wose?
1:47 am on April 13th, 2013
Hmmm, where is Rose?
Dawson’s cawfee . . Elliot, can we skip Turtleman’s old tee-shirt? He might not have enough for the entire blog.
7:41 am on April 13th, 2013
Yes, where is Rose?
7:50 am on April 13th, 2013
Yes, usually by this time of the a.m., she’s checked in.
4:20 am on May 10th, 2013
Thanks , I have just been searching for info about this topic for a long time and yours is the greatest I have discovered till now. But, what concerning the conclusion? Are you certain in regards to the source?|What i don’t realize is in truth how you are no longer actually a lot more smartly-appreciated than you may be right now. You’re very intelligent.
