Thank You, Plunderers!
A very nice gift from the Plunderers (a creative sub-group here at the blog) has arrived. It’s a 2015 calendar with a Snowhook theme, Snowhook being the wonderful racing team and kennel up in Willow, Alaska, that we’re very interested in. Many, many thanks! (photo credit – Rio)
No uploading to Friends at this time.

Nice shout-out to Wose. And a nice photo of the front and back. Again, great job Wose.
Good news – Bentley is still testing negative and is about to be reunited with his nurse-companion.
And what about that nurse in Maine who doesn’t want to be in quarantine? What a selfish brat.
Snow flakes were in the air this morning. Blustery and cold.
7:29 am on October 31st, 2014
Greetings!
Happy Halloween! Some cool GOOGLE DOODLES today to celebrate!
RIO! I think Rose, the pup is getting a bad rap. Maybe we are twins….sometimes I get a bad rap from Grizz.
You are very sneaky, sending in the Plunder On! calendar photo…
For that, I will sing you a song:
I should have known better with a pug like you
That I would love everything that you do
And I do, hey, hey, hey
And I do
7:32 am on October 31st, 2014
Good morning B,M,&L: We posted almost at the same time!
I think that nurse in Maine is a brat too.
Once again, thanks for all the nice compliments on the calendar. Thank goodness it did not take a rocket scientist to make the calendar, because I am not a rocket scientist. No, I am not.
7:51 am on October 31st, 2014
Still wondering which puppy the Pixie is holding in that picture.
7:53 am on October 31st, 2014
Wose, are you neither a brain scientist or a rocket surgeon?
Snow has stopped, but the roofs across the street are white.
Today we will have trick or treating starts at 3:00. Will be closing the office around 2:30, so I can get home to pass out candy to the little darlings.
7:55 am on October 31st, 2014
Today is Hamilton’s last day as FOM. Good luck to the November winner.
7:57 am on October 31st, 2014
Good morning B&M&L and Wose and everyone! The DDD loves his calendar b-day gift. Glad OFA likes it too. Wowser Halloween already. Oops mom needs to drag trash to the road before the trash guys arrive. BBL
Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something sweet to eat!
7:59 am on October 31st, 2014
Ooooooo, Rio and Beau up top!
B,M,&L: I can report only that I am small and meek.
And hasn’t that Hamilton been up there for like 2 months already? I hope this uploading problem will be solved soon.
8:00 am on October 31st, 2014
B&M&L, we saw the rocket surgeon comment š Oh, we may have snow flurries tonight and in the a.m. As long as it doesn’t stick our mom will love it!
8:00 am on October 31st, 2014
Happy birthday, DDD! Happy birthday to you!!!
And many more!
8:06 am on October 31st, 2014
Happy Birthday DDD. Now I am off to the office.
Have a good day everyone. Hope there is smooth sailing for Amalia’s brother today.
8:29 am on October 31st, 2014
And smooth sailing for our Amalia. She could use it.
8:44 am on October 31st, 2014
Happy birthday DDD!
Smooth sailing to Amalia.
Thank you again for the wonderful calendar, Wose.
B&M&L: no snow here yet, thank Dog.
Happy Halloween to everyone.
8:45 am on October 31st, 2014
I love the calendar and I’m glad Spence has a copy.
Good morning all.

10:23 am on October 31st, 2014
Or peanut butter M&M’s….
10:27 am on October 31st, 2014
No snow, but lots of rain here on the West Coast. Even thirsty California will be soaking it up. We can hear Wolfie’s happy howl from here.
Mmmmmm…M&Ms
10:30 am on October 31st, 2014
A safe & happy Halloween to all.

Wose, Once again, Great job on the calendar! All of us appreciate it.
I would have been a much happier Husky if it had been The Hot One’s picture up there for two months.
Masquers, I like the picture.
Yes, The nurse is a selfish brat and she seems to be enjoying the attention.
umm I guess I am not really a Plunderer because I am not creative.
11:17 am on October 31st, 2014
Happy Birthday DDD!
11:28 am on October 31st, 2014
Happy Birthday, DDD!
Siber-H, That makes 4 of us.
Admin, you heard it! Siber-H says pick The Hot One!
11:28 am on October 31st, 2014
Siber: Then neither am I!
But you are one paw ahead of moi…you speak so eloquently.
12:09 pm on October 31st, 2014
For what it’s worth, we do not think that nurse is a brat. She is symptom-free and has had several negative tests. How can someone who makes the huge sacrifice to travel to Africa to help treat ebola patients ever be called a brat? After being away from home for so long, in horrific conditions, she was made to live in an unheated tent, without a toilet or human contact! Now she is back in Maine, and all she wants to do is see her boyfriend and do stuff like bike ride. No sireee, we would never call her a brat.
12:09 pm on October 31st, 2014
The unheated tent, without a toilet was in New Jersey, not Africa!!!
12:20 pm on October 31st, 2014
Not to be outdone on Halloween by the Kats!
http://www.today.com/books/j-k-rowling-writes-harry-potter-halloween-tale-profiling-malicious-1D80248516
12:21 pm on October 31st, 2014
Fellow Sibers, We have been in an unhetred tent without a toilet many times in the West. She must be a city girl.
12:21 pm on October 31st, 2014
O’Howlers: Thanks for the Input on the Nurse. It is Always Best to View Both Sides.
12:21 pm on October 31st, 2014
Siber, But that was your choice.
12:23 pm on October 31st, 2014
typo, That would be unheated tent. I’m having technical problems…will explain in a minute.
12:30 pm on October 31st, 2014
Siber: Foe paws are technical problems?
12:31 pm on October 31st, 2014
Hat tip to Wose for the calendar!
SiberH: Your excavating projects are doggedly creative.
Digger: Happy Birthday to you!
12:31 pm on October 31st, 2014
Howlers, Very, very true.
Computer question? OMD! I had to download google chrome because Amazon will no longer allow internet explorer starting tomorrow. This is not my idea of fun as you well know, but I think I did it correctly. I am using google chrome now.
So, My question is this: When I want to use internet explorer I click on the explorer icon, and when I want to use google chrome, I click on their icon?
12:35 pm on October 31st, 2014
Masquer, True, my typo had nothing to do with my technical problems.
I am not real happy with Amazon right now, but I will get over it.
12:44 pm on October 31st, 2014
Howlers, we almost always agree with you, but not this time. If the nurse cares enough about people to go to Africa and tend to the sick, then she should care enough about her friends and neighbors to stay out of public places for 21 daays. Three weeks is not such a long time. She should stay with her boy friend, ride bikes in an unpopulated area, etc. But she should not be going out for pizza, as she stated on tv that she wanted to do. That restaurant has been hurt by that comment, because other patrons are staying away. She probably is not infected, but why take the chance.
12:48 pm on October 31st, 2014
B,M,&L, we do agree about the populated places All we heard her say is that she and her boyfriend wanted to ride bikes to get away from the media.
Siber, There is a round multi-colored wheel on your task bar at the bottom of your screen. If you hover over it, you will see it says “Chrome”
12:50 pm on October 31st, 2014
Siber: It’s easy to switch back and forth between IE and Chrome – TechNoKat
12:53 pm on October 31st, 2014
Thanks All. I think I have it figured out now. GAH!
12:55 pm on October 31st, 2014
12:58 pm on October 31st, 2014
The nurse has gone so far as to get legal representation.
1:07 pm on October 31st, 2014
I just think any one who treats ebola patients should accept the quarintine as part of the program, period.
1:09 pm on October 31st, 2014
why can’t Spence and Admin pick a new friend of the month from those cats already Friends of Chet?
1:22 pm on October 31st, 2014
We think people are way-overreacting to the ebola thing. The medical community says it is not contagious until/unless you are exhibiting major symptoms. And then the only way it spreads is by bodily fluid. That doesn’t happen by someone being in the same mall as us. There is a much scarier virus making the rounds, and nobody seems to worry about it … heck, we can’t even remember the name of it!
1:22 pm on October 31st, 2014
BooBear, I concur.
1:36 pm on October 31st, 2014
BooBear: Very good idea.
1:37 pm on October 31st, 2014
BSD, love the “wolf” who, what, when, where why cartoon!
Know there are 2 sides to each story but who does she think she is??? The reincarnation of Typhoid Mary?
If mom’s neighbor is quarantined, you bet your bottom dollar, mom will quarantine herself to be safe. (surgical issues) Perhaps Staff would agree.
1:46 pm on October 31st, 2014
Barb, HOH, we just watched this clip. See what you think.

1:46 pm on October 31st, 2014
The recent Ebola fear reminds me of when AIDS first appeared. Do you remember the child Ryan White whose family was pretty much chased out of town due to the hysteria and hate? Once more facts were determined about AIDS and once people became more educated, there was no more unfounded alarm.
I can see both sides of the nurse’s situation: she is symptom free and has tested negative. By going out and about and not causing Ebola to spread, she is stating that the quarantine is unnecessary. However, if she had abided by the 21-day quarantine and emerged symptom and Ebola free, maybe people would have seen that the quarantine was unnecessary.
I am wondering why our military personnel are being sent to Ebola regions “to help.” This is a case where I would have provided hazmat suits, equipment and training to the affected countries and let their own personnel do the work. But I must admit I haven’t taken the time to look into the issue and obviously I would rather the US help on humanitarian issues rather than on war and armament issues around the world.
1:52 pm on October 31st, 2014
I have 2 doors to paint and then I am doing painting but I am being so lazy today. I need to get a move on and then come home and clean up my neglected house.
Kitties are growing by leaps and bounds and climbing all over the place. I am thinking of investing in one of those “cat condos.”

2:08 pm on October 31st, 2014
Does anyone know if Snowhook has managed to find a new truck?
2:09 pm on October 31st, 2014
Kat Kondo? Sounds like a Long Term Stay for one of those guys.
Dawson: Please check your SDD.
2:12 pm on October 31st, 2014
O’Howlers: We were wondering the same thing. No News Yet.
Maybe this weekend?
2:30 pm on October 31st, 2014
We just read Philip’s tale of Rose and Mick. Oh boy! Good thing they are not Sibers!!!
2:43 pm on October 31st, 2014
Siber-H, can you tell me more about Amazon and Internet explorer?
2:50 pm on October 31st, 2014
MM, There was just a tiny blurb on Amazon about not accepting internet explorer after today. I only saw it in one place as I was flipping through the pages on Amazon. They say internet explorer is not safe. We all kinda knew that anyway.
Amazon needs to put this info in big print on their pages.
2:59 pm on October 31st, 2014
Mom sends me to day care because I tear up the house while she is at work and then they do this to me at day care……and she wonders why I tear up the house
3:03 pm on October 31st, 2014
Tundra, I feel for you, bro.
Mom thinks that is a totally cute picture.
MM, Now I can find nothing about this on Amazon’s website.
3:03 pm on October 31st, 2014
Tundra, Thanks for the good laugh!!! {whispering} No self-respecting Sibe allows this kind of humiliation. Go find some real important papers, quick!
3:16 pm on October 31st, 2014
I don’t know what I’ve done to my i-pad but it is seized up. I sure hope d i l can help me or I will be unhappy.
Tundra: I am soooo sorry, you are very good looking with out any decorations.
We are going to walk the dog in the rain.
3:20 pm on October 31st, 2014
Tundra, aren’t you a BOY sibe????
3:23 pm on October 31st, 2014
MM, I went back and flipped pages on Amazon again and the warning popped up once more for me because I was using internet explorer to browse.
Amazon says it is for security reasons but they don’t say much more.
3:40 pm on October 31st, 2014
Tundra – hahahahahehehehehehahahahahhehehehsnorthahahahheeheheeeheeee
Sorry, chuckle, chortle, we aren’t laughing AT you, buddy.
Oh well, what the hell. Yes we are.
hahahahahheehhheeheehehaahaah. Wait’ll Rio gets a load of this!
4:00 pm on October 31st, 2014
Siber-H, this would be a drastic move on the part of Amazon if they really blocked Internet explorer. They would lose a lot of sales. I couldn’t find out anything about it. Please try it tomorrow and report in, Agent Husky.
4:11 pm on October 31st, 2014
Trick or Treating started an hour ago, and so far not one kiddie has come to our door. Usually the street is packed. Could it be the 50 mph wind gusts and freezing temps? We bought 4 bags of candy and Barb does not want leftovers!
One of our campaign signs has even blown away!
4:14 pm on October 31st, 2014
Candy!….Someone’s mother bought a huge honkin’ bag of peanut butter M&M’s and now there are only a few lonely bags left for the tricky treaters….grunt!…Me and Beau and my friend did not get any of that candy…grumble!
4:17 pm on October 31st, 2014
Candy Part 2!….Oh and tricky treatin’ has not even begun in our neck of the woods yet…wheeeze!
4:22 pm on October 31st, 2014
MM, Amazon never called it internet explorer, but that had to be what they meant because I was using IE at the time.
I guess tomorrow I will try buying an e-book with internet explorer and see what happens. I will make a report tomorrow on the blog.
4:45 pm on October 31st, 2014
SiberH!…If Amazon does not want to support IE because it is not safe, maybe you should reconsider buying something using a credit card through IE….sniff!….Just saying.
5:14 pm on October 31st, 2014
Tundra, You look like you are being a good sport about this violation.
5:22 pm on October 31st, 2014
I know I sound like an old troll, but I HATE trick or treating! Maggie is shut out in the backyard, and Lucy has been barking nonstop from the bedroom. There is no way I can open my front door with the girls in the room and pass out candy. I have had maybe 20 kids so far. Last year I had about 200.
5:24 pm on October 31st, 2014
Wowser, so much to choose from….this and that…sports and splorts! GAH!
Well, any way! Come to our house for candy and no chocolate but just nugat…OK?
5:29 pm on October 31st, 2014
B&M&L, we feel for y’all. Iffin the youngsters here weren’t so lazy here we’d have many things here to do silly things.
5:33 pm on October 31st, 2014
Rio, Good point you made about credit cards and IE.
6:08 pm on October 31st, 2014
i’m just wondering what’s going on with Amazon and Internet explorer. I haven’t read any reports of Amazon being hacked or about any problems with transmissions that are encrypted.
6:10 pm on October 31st, 2014
A credit card purchase would be safe if Amazon already had the credit card number. And those that are entered online are encrypted in the secure sockets layer so I’m still curious about what’s really going on here.
6:16 pm on October 31st, 2014
MPM, I bet you don’t have trick or treaters at your place.
If Diane is out there – I bet you like the market this week!
6:23 pm on October 31st, 2014
Barb – we have the same wind and cold temps and rain and still they come.
OMD. The last little one (3 years old?)- Harry Potter – said, “do you have peanuts? Do you have peanuts?” And when I didn’t he handed back the plain fun size M&Ms.
Happy Hallowe’en, Everybody.
6:29 pm on October 31st, 2014
Barb, ha ha, you know no one’s going to get to the fifth floor of the hotel since you have been here and know the lay of the land. But we’re having wind and rain and I feel sorry for the little guys cause I don’t know if they’re out there or not. It’s a miserable night out there.
6:43 pm on October 31st, 2014
Here’s Sammie:
6:49 pm on October 31st, 2014
Masquers: Loved that spooky kat picture!
BSD: Loved your cartoon.
Tundra: Poor boy.
Awesome: Your calendars were delivered to the post office today. Expected delivery, 11/3.
Teddy RR: Your calendars were delivered to the post office today. Expected delivery 11/3.
We here are wondering about a new truck for Snowhook as well.
6:51 pm on October 31st, 2014
Sammie, you are adorable!
And what about LouLou?
6:58 pm on October 31st, 2014
And what is this about Mick and Rose? I do not use Facebookie. I think Rose may be wrongfully accused.
7:04 pm on October 31st, 2014
Yep, lazy kiddoos won’t walk up, Up, UP our hill to the front door. Besides, looks scary. Will let everyone know later how this silliness goes!
7:10 pm on October 31st, 2014
Big bowl of candy, one hour later…no kiddos! same as it has been for 14 years!
Golly gosh, lazy kids. Guess the adults will have to eat the goodies š
7:15 pm on October 31st, 2014
Wose, definitely no get up for Halloween for Loulou. I’m having trouble now getting her into a sweatshirt as our cold weather arrives.
7:20 pm on October 31st, 2014
MPM: I guess she is still strutting around since she is a Valentine girl…
7:47 pm on October 31st, 2014
Costumes!…No costumes for us guys – never!…snort!…My friend says we already have a natural costume…heh!heh!
7:52 pm on October 31st, 2014
My little Halloween kittie clawing my Berber carpet {{{sigh}}}
7:53 pm on October 31st, 2014
Seal Point kittie surveying her Queendom:
7:55 pm on October 31st, 2014
Curious kittie wondering what that clicking noise is as I try and take photos. One blue eye and one green eye.
7:56 pm on October 31st, 2014
Yep, lazy kiddoos won’t walk up, Up, UP our hill to the front door. Besides, looks scary. Will let everyone know later how this silliness goes! But right now it is 40*F with a wind from the north and ……….Yetch! Freezing our calzones off, š
8:05 pm on October 31st, 2014
CHobbit, I wish you had all those adorable furry felines when I visited you a while ago.
8:23 pm on October 31st, 2014
HOH, Have you lived in Tennessee for 14 years? No wonder you sound like a southern girl.
Those are cute kittens. I would keep the seal point.
8:28 pm on October 31st, 2014
Seal!…That Seal Kat looks like a baby Blu-Kat…snort!
8:34 pm on October 31st, 2014
MagPie!…I totally agree with you that anyone who is exposed willingly or accidentally to Ebola should be quarantined for the full 21 days – no argument….snort!…This is not about free will. This is about containing a deadly virus…sniff!
8:40 pm on October 31st, 2014
Your black kitties are so cute. The seal point one is cute too, but I am enamored of black kittens right now. Ours are getting bigger also. Especially Henry. He is markedly bigger than little Keiko right now.
They went out to a Halloween party at the quilt store with me. I was a witch and they were my familiars. I kept them in a carrier though. Once we were in the store they came out and were passed around and cooed over. Then back they went and Mr.Staff took them home. Finally they had a ride without a vet at the other end.
8:48 pm on October 31st, 2014
Hamilton!…He has got to GO!….grump!
Staff!…Did anyone take your photo all dressed up as a Witch?…snort!
9:07 pm on October 31st, 2014
Digger!…So did Digger-Dawg get his birthday card or not?…sniff!…I will take him off the list if he does not do cards…snort! …I only have so many you know.
9:38 pm on October 31st, 2014
We are in the middle of a drought and guess what? It poured tonight!
So we went out for pizza!
9:45 pm on October 31st, 2014
Wolfie!…Pizza in the rain?…heh!heh!
9:45 pm on October 31st, 2014
Rio, We liked your card to DDD. You always do great cards.
Hope Amalia had a good day in her pink dozer.
We want to see a picture of Staff and her kitties.
Night all.
9:46 pm on October 31st, 2014
B&M &L,Yep chose TN to retard to. Still love it since if Bubba runs your ass over, he’ll be there to pick your ass up!
10:01 pm on October 31st, 2014
Thanks for all the wishes for an easier day. It was a little less frantic, but not really easier. Just getting home since brother wanted to see his son who doesn’t drive.
We don’t get tricky treater’s, so alas, no left over peanut butter m&M’s. Which is probably a good thing.
Tomorrow a.m. we are taking Gramp to our hairdresser for a syled cut. He may not have much, but it does need a proper cut. His barber is of the old Bowl-on-the-Head school of cutting. Gramp is all excited.
10:05 pm on October 31st, 2014
Gramps!…What? Does he think Barb & MagPie will be visiting him soon?…snort!
10:12 pm on October 31st, 2014
Rio – we aren’t sure. First he got his poor crooked foot fixed, now he is getting shampooed and styled. And he got some new ties.
Rut ro
Maybe Gramp is getting ready to run away from home.
10:20 pm on October 31st, 2014
Is Gramps trying to impress some ladies? I bet he has a whole bunch of them vying for his attention.
The owner of the quilt store took a pic on her Ipad. I will see if I can get a copy. NO promises that it is in focus because she is of the Mollypop’s Mom school of photography.
10:20 pm on October 31st, 2014
Congrats on the rain Wolfie. Youse guys need it!
10:28 pm on October 31st, 2014
Noooo!…A student of the Molly’s Mom School of Photography is the only one who took photoz?….gasp!
10:29 pm on October 31st, 2014
Golinka!…I really think Gramps has to get those wires removed before he has a chance at first base with any gal…heh!heh!
10:31 pm on October 31st, 2014
Rio – probably. But remember, he did think a certain Chicken Lady was pretty sweet.
10:33 pm on October 31st, 2014
Yeah!…But even a Chicken Lady has standards regarding wires sticking out of toes….snort!
10:35 pm on October 31st, 2014
Trick or Treaters out in force. Getting some older kids now. I live on a deadend street and there are carloads of kids swinging by the neighborhood. And excited kids running across the street in front of cars. Yeep!
10:45 pm on October 31st, 2014
CHobbit!…You could always hand-out Kats if the candy gets low…heh!heh!
1:30 am on November 1st, 2014
Well, my last Trick or Treater came at 9:25 and I have left-over candy. I only had one “jerk.” If someone came by on their own, I had time to ask if s/he had a favorite candy and handy a couple to them. But one time an older teen was sullen and when I asked what was his favorite candy, he said he didn’t have any and then grabbed a big handful of candy and walked away. Ugh. But everyone else was very nice, polite and seemed excited and happy about dressing up and going out on Halloween. A few saw my kitties through the window and commented on them.
