Good morning, everyone and welcome new good lookin’ friends.
Another Monday so soon, doesn’t seem possible. Glad A&L survives the really big shew and now get some well earned, much needed rest (not to mention some quality time with Corgis and Kats).
Have a magical Monday.
8:35 am on August 25th, 2014
Good morning all. Howlers, you probably don’t want to click on that link. Happy ending for some dogs, but a horrific ending for others. Barb is glad she doesn’t use boarding kennels.
Hot and muggy here. May have to do our outside stuff early. Going to be over 90 today, with heat index of 100 or more.
A & L, pack up and then go home and put your feet up for a while.
9:36 am on August 25th, 2014
I would like to have seen that parade. Well done Gilbert 23.
Good morning all.
9:57 am on August 25th, 2014
Wishing we hadn’t clicked on the link. Sob
But, Look! There’s Belle-Starr up top with Sparkles and a Fierce Looking Kat.
Yes, a Magical Monday it will be (just as soon as we can get that story out of our heads)
B is seeing the positive side and that’s what Chet would do.
10:05 am on August 25th, 2014
Greetings!
It is a very nice Monday here in Westchester!
HRH, B: if you have free moment, check out the GOOGLE Doodle.
Royals: Glad that your exhibition week is now done, and you can return to the comfort of your home. Hope big bucks were raked in!
Not much to say for now, since I spent my night last in conversation. Can’t remember who I was talking to, but I must have given an oration. My throat is very sore.
10:13 am on August 25th, 2014
Good morning everyone. For anyone who is interested, please check out the email that I sent to Dishlickers, which has a number of photos of the next litter of Teddy’s siblings. The photos were taken by a professional photographer in an email sent out by the breeder to the prospective adopting families and Teddy was copied as well, but for that reason I did not feel that I had authorization to post them on the blog. In any event, they are quite adorable and show the puppies at about 3 weeks old.
We are also celebrating hatch chili month here in Chevy Chase. In the past, they have been very hard to come by here, but this year our local Safeway got in a major shipment and Debbie has roasted about 10 pounds of them, which will last at least for a while.
Also, did anyone catch the news report about two pugs sighted in Denver selling copies of POA on a street corner? Very interesting story.
10:18 am on August 25th, 2014
Good morning! Our 2-day vacay is over, but we hear there is a 3-day vaca coming up soon! What a life!
B&M, we will follow hour advice and not click on that there link. We don’t go to boarding kennels either; our 2-legged boarders come to us us us!
Bee, Did you watch that new show, Intruders? We did, but we have no idea what is going on.
We are hoping that Faye’s husband is at peace.
T&G, B&S, They will be home to you you you today!!! Hope they made oodles of $ for treaties.
10:26 am on August 25th, 2014
Apologies for our typos.
10:33 am on August 25th, 2014
Wookie’s and Teddy’s Dad:
Grizz and I just checked out the puppy pictures. They are so adorable!!!
Was Teddy the same age when you brought him home?
I am doing the Belle Starr thing here- I must have one of those puppies, or I will be in a very bad mood.
10:40 am on August 25th, 2014
Rose: Yes, I like the Google Doodle. Thank you.
Howlers: I turned off “Intruders” after the first five minutes. (I don’t have much patience when it comes to tv shows and that was just after I had spent over an hour watching a ridiculous Doctor Who episode.)
Rio: Is the PBS program that you’re referring to called “Secrets of the Tower of London”? I’ll try watching it today.
11:00 am on August 25th, 2014
Wose, We haven’t looked at Teddy’s dad’s posting yet, but he mentioned that the pups were 3 weeks old. Teddy would have stayed with his mama and litter mates until somewhere between 8-10 weeks.
Walkies are done, some grass cut and storms are coming. We will not be spending much time outdoors. Time for some errands. BBL
11:13 am on August 25th, 2014
Wose — B&M is correct, we got Teddy at about 8-9 weeks, so he was at least a smidgen bigger. For this breeder, the prospective parents come out to first meet the pups at about five to six weeks for an introductory play date, and then come back two weeks later for selection (you identify your top three choices, denominated by collar color — Teddy was Mr. Brown for us), and the breeder then matches everything up and makes the final decision (based on your desires and her sense of which puppy would be best for you). That takes a couple of days, and once that has happened, you are free to pick up your puppy anytime thereafter. We were actually lucky, because we had our original interview with the breeder at about 5 weeks, so we actually had our very own private play date with the puppies one week before the official play date.
11:22 am on August 25th, 2014
Teddy! They are adorable. Wonder which one will be your new friend?
11:33 am on August 25th, 2014
š WE have never had any luck accessing Dishlickers, even with written directions, so we’ll just assume the pups are adorable š
12:19 pm on August 25th, 2014
Not clicking on the link, but glad to hear there is some happy parts to the story.
The van is all packed and after we grab some lunch we will be on our way home to the very much missed Royals and Wrottens. All in all it was a good show. Interesting thing is that all the exhibitors seemed to have the same experience with extremely rude customers yesterday – not at all typical for this show.
And when we arrived this morning to pack, we had a friend waiting in our booth. She spent the next hour riding on one of our shoulders as we went back and forth to the van. When we were done, we thanked her for her company, and she flew off.
Truly thought provoking.
12:22 pm on August 25th, 2014
That was on the Storytellers hand. Then she came to me
12:37 pm on August 25th, 2014
We are not clicking on the link….might not be a good way to begin a Monday.
Teddy’s Dad, It was a much improved crop of Hatch green chili this year over the past few years. I am glad you were able to take advantage of it. All the grocery stores are roasting them now in their parking lots. It is the smell of the end of summer in NM.
I can’t get into dishlickers anymore either, but I know the puppies are beyond cute.
12:45 pm on August 25th, 2014
News for Teddy’s Dad, Barb, and Dawson:
Anne Hillerman is working on her next book. It is set in Monument Valley, Arizona and Shiprock, New Mexico.
12:49 pm on August 25th, 2014
Tupper’s Mama: This amazing morning visit from your very own Sphinx Moth gave us a most Wonderful Feeling. A very Good Omen.
We here are still able to access Dishlickers.
HOunds & Siber-H: What happens when youse try to sign-in?
12:55 pm on August 25th, 2014
I will stay away from that link.
Tupper’s Mama: So long to Mothra. Congratulations on making it to the end of the show with no one throwing anything.
I am being asked for the first name of my favorite uncle in order to access the dishlickers account. Anyone know the answer to that question? It isn’t Chet, Bernie, Spencer, Peter or Rio.
1:08 pm on August 25th, 2014
W&TD: All the puppies are adorable! Could that be little TeddyRR in one of the fotoz?
Dawson: So you are the one…the one from Canada who is suspiciously trying to access the Dishlicker account. We here most likely were still able to open the mail because the password was saved to our home computer.
The pug could probably could answer your question about the password challenge question.
1:29 pm on August 25th, 2014
Masquers, It tells me that my password or user id is invalid. It is the same one I have always used up until last time when I tried…that was Snowbella’s SDD. That is when it started keeping me out.
1:46 pm on August 25th, 2014
That is good news about Anne Hillerman. The first book was excellent and we are glad Jim Chee and Lt. Leaphorn didn’t go away when their creator passed.
Rainy here and very muggy. Good afternoon to stay inside and read and/or nap.
2:00 pm on August 25th, 2014
I can access Dishlicker’s using Google Chrome but not using Internet Explorer.
The puppies are adorable.
2:06 pm on August 25th, 2014
Oops!
I guessed the name of my favorite uncle too many times and now Yahoo is sending a verification code to a phone number ending in 6528. That is not my phone number.
SiberH: That is good news about Anne Hillerman. I thought she did a great job of continuing her father’s legacy of Leaphorn and Chee novels adding her own emphasis on strong women’s characters.
2:07 pm on August 25th, 2014
I am using internet explorer so that must be the problem.
2:08 pm on August 25th, 2014
I mostly agree about boarding kennels, but I must tell you of a lovely one near Vancouver, WA. It is called Suzie’s Country Inn for Dogs and Cats. We have had to leave our Schnauzers there a few times just overnight to attend memorial services in Seattle. Plus we went on one 8 day winter trip to Yellowstone and our dogs were delighted with their accommodations! They had a little room called The Cowboy Room which was appropriately decorated. They had a dog size sofa in addition to their own beds we brought. They watched Animal Planet on their the flat screen TV in their room and had a door to their private patio! In addition they were taken to a wonderful and safe play yard 6 times a day with dogs of their own size. It is a great place where they got lots of attention. However, when we were not lodging in the interior of Yellowstone, we stayed in a Super 8 in Gardner, Montana. Suzi’s Country Inn was more per night that the Super 8 winter rate! That is OK though, and it is good to have a wonderful option for our dogs. Just a good story to balance the deck here!
2:14 pm on August 25th, 2014
B: That may be the answer to why some are unable to open Dish. We are using Firefox.
2:25 pm on August 25th, 2014
1) We used to be able to get on with the old POS laptop, but not since the ipaw. MMM, doesn’t the Awesome one have an ipaw too?
2) A&L’s moth does look hawklike. Our visitor was somehow more vicious looking…maybe wolf? See if’n y’all can enlarge.
She is head down, centered over the table.
2:27 pm on August 25th, 2014
Dawson. Just a suggestion. Try either 63788 or 815 as your Yahoo verification code (not sure which is correct, my phone got both messages in short succession).
2:27 pm on August 25th, 2014
ALR: Yes, we agree, there are some wonderful places to leave Members of the Nation Within, but kennels as a general rule are not one of them.
The place you describe is more like a Doggy Vacation Condo.
This has always been Nana’s way of thinking also…Cost be damned if we are happy and well taken care of.
Thinking back…there were a couple of scary choices prior to finding the perfect place. A story for another day maybe.
2:31 pm on August 25th, 2014
I’m using google chrome so that is not the problem.
2:38 pm on August 25th, 2014
I’m using google chrome so that is not the problem. I am on my Windows 8 computer.
ALR: Thanks for that. I’m picturing some very happy Schnauzers!
2:40 pm on August 25th, 2014
Whoops!
2:42 pm on August 25th, 2014
Dawson!….Are you messing up the Dishlickers account?…grunt!…I think the answer to Uncle is “Alvin”…snort!
2:43 pm on August 25th, 2014
Dishlickers!…If you are all trying to access it at once the security thinks it is being spammed and putting up stops….grunt!
2:47 pm on August 25th, 2014
No, Rio, not accessing. Gave up a while ago.
2:55 pm on August 25th, 2014
Gardening 101: labeling your seedlings.
I had started some forget-me-nots this spring and never got around to planting them in the ground until just before leaving on vacation a month ago. I put some in back of the garage, some along the fence on the shadier side of the house, and just put the rest in a mound in the garden. When I returned and got around to weeding said forget-me-nots, I could smell tomato plants. What!? You can guess the end of the story. Yes, they were/are tomatoes. Doomed to never even getting any green tomatoes.
3:06 pm on August 25th, 2014
I got into yahoo mail using the instructions Tupper’s Mum sent me in an SDD. Thank you! Internet explorer will work after all.
Mom wants a puppy. Belle Starr is gonna want a puppy.
While I was looking at the inbox, I started cracking up because yahoo thinks someone in Canada is trying to cause security problems.
One of you might want to delete those emails from yahoo. I am not going to to because who knows what havoc I might wreck in the inbox.
3:14 pm on August 25th, 2014
SiberH!…That darned Dawson!…snort!
3:29 pm on August 25th, 2014
For what it’s worth, we use the yahoo app on our iPaw. No problemo.
3:38 pm on August 25th, 2014
I wonder what upsets yahoo about Canada….for crying out loud
4:06 pm on August 25th, 2014
I get this kind of discrimination all the time from the US!
Rio: Are you kidding about “Alvin” being my favorite uncle? Don’t kid around with this stuff, dog!
I haven’t tried Wookie & Teddy’s Dad’s verification codes. But I’m going to.
http://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2011/11/grammar-myths-prepositions/
5:01 pm on August 25th, 2014
WE want to thank everyone who coached us through the “dishlicker debacle” today. WE got on (thank dog) and are saving the instructions, we hope.
“We’re so sorry, Uncle Alvin, but we haven’t done a bl**dy thing all day”. Sometimes it feels that way š
5:09 pm on August 25th, 2014
We are going to wait to look at the video of the pups. Don’t want to add to the havoc that Dawson created.
Tired of peeling, cooking and freezing tomatoes so decided to use some for our chicken in a pot dinner. Added tomatoes, green peppers, onion, garlic, and Herbs de Providence and put it in the oven to slow cook for 2-3 hours. Hoping for a Hunter’s Stew or Chicken Cacciatore type dish.
5:16 pm on August 25th, 2014
Per usual,you menu sounds superb!
5:22 pm on August 25th, 2014
HOH: A Beatles fan, huh?
B&M and Wookie’s and Teddy’s Dad:
Thank you for the information of puppy choosing, coming home, play dates, and all the other neat stuff. I really had no idea….
6:11 pm on August 25th, 2014
Dawson: Funny Story about the Flowers that turned out to be Tomatoes š
Someone Here is walking around with a Cheshire Grin on their face.
What’s up with that?
Barb&Magpie: Din-Din at 6:00?
6:55 pm on August 25th, 2014
BearSpiritDog: Why is someone grinning?
I took a ride to the post office but no P&O yet. Maybe I will go back before they close.
Wookie&Teddy’sDad: I went to Yahoo.com and tried to get to dishlickers one more time. There is no place to put in the verification code, I would have to click the link in the letter they sent you, I guess. Anyways, I sent them a letter confessing to being the Canadian in the bunch and requesting access. We will see if they can figure it out.
7:00 pm on August 25th, 2014
Yahoo contacted me and said I would have to answer 2 security questions and they can only ask one at a time. The first one is the first name of my favorite uncle. So I put the answer according to Pug and I hope he wasn’t kidding. Then I got a notice saying they would get back to me with 48 hours! No rush, then.
7:08 pm on August 25th, 2014
BSD, Dinner will be around 6:30 or 7:00 Central time. May do some fresh green beans and a few fettuccine noodles to go with the chicken.
Dawson, heard on the business news today that Burger King is negotiating with Tim Hortons to buy them out. That reminded Barb of her trip east last spring. That was the first time she had ever visited a Tim Horton, so it reminded her of you guys.
7:16 pm on August 25th, 2014
Dawson: I’m On the Case! Right After Dinner, that is.
7:23 pm on August 25th, 2014
Is Uncle Alvin the guy on the Chipmunks songs? Or was Rio serious?
Bear, We are holding dinner for you at 7:00.
7:28 pm on August 25th, 2014
Rio? Were you serious about Uncle Alvin?
I am afraid Yahoo will have the CIA on Dawson’s doorstep. This is ridiculous.
7:30 pm on August 25th, 2014
WE admit that we are probably confusing the issue. WE said “Uncle Alvin”…Alvin is the trouble making chipmunk. Uncle ALBERT is the Beatles song. WE were hoping someone would call us since we wanted to joke…”Simone. Theodora. Albert.
7:43 pm on August 25th, 2014
I watched the PBS Tower of London program. It was very interesting.
7:55 pm on August 25th, 2014
B&M: Just saw a big blur go by…it may be your self invited dinner guest.
T&G: Tell your mama to check her SDD.
8:25 pm on August 25th, 2014
Peg and Helen just returned from their appointment at the chicken doc. Both are doing much better, and Mom and Pop took bows for their excellent care. The doc said that they could have injured their little feet on almost anything in their yard, like a stick. More than likely, it was one of the ancient pieces of glass they manage to dig up from time to time. The worst thing is that we can’t eat their eggs for 30 whole days!
Barb, we did take all of their shavings out of their coop, and replaced them with sand. Mom says she likes that better. It is so easy to clean.
8:32 pm on August 25th, 2014
Howlers, the sand is probably a good idea, just for the cleaning reasons, but I am betting the glass was more likely the culprit for cutting their feet.
Bear, there is plenty, since we started wit a 5 pound you-know-what. Sorry Peg, Helen and Fern.
We are going to watch the Emmy Awards now.
8:38 pm on August 25th, 2014
OH, Darah brings in huge chunks of thick, broken glass from the backyard all the time. Scares mom to pieces. Don’t know where it came from since this land never had a house on it until 1987. Glad the chicks are better, sorry about the eggs š
8:44 pm on August 25th, 2014
We are always finding old glass, and tools, and such, and those girls are even better than us Howlers. This farm has been around close to 300 years.
8:46 pm on August 25th, 2014
Alvin!…Is the name of my friends fave Uncle and she is the one who set-up the Dishlickers account years ago…grunt!..I wonder what the second question is?…sniff!
8:53 pm on August 25th, 2014
Changes!….Looks like someone has gone in and changed some stuff in the Dishlickers account…sniff!…I do not know that cell phone number and some other stuff so unless we all agree on the “Two Secret Questions and Answers”, we may have this issue pop-up time after time…grunt!
8:54 pm on August 25th, 2014
Dawson!…If they ever do ask you the second question try and answer it “Heath”…snort!…But I am not sure about anything right now…grunt!
8:56 pm on August 25th, 2014
At last, mom said we are going to go read 2 more chapters of PAO. Wowser, we love Chet’s adventures š
9:02 pm on August 25th, 2014
We are home. We are going to bed very soon and snuggling with Corgis and Kats.
We opened the van to get suitcases out, and quess who flew out? Yup, this is definitely a message.
Maybe the message is to all of us to remember our spirituality, and send up our prayers of thanks and concerns.
Masquers – checked and responded.
Good night, family.
9:02 pm on August 25th, 2014
Emmys!…Is everyone watching The Emmys? …snort!…Sherlock just won – not the actor, the writer..heh!

10:03 pm on August 25th, 2014
Rio and Friend are doing such a great job of announcing the winners. We are watching it, but double checking here to see who just won, if that makes any sense. Chet would understand.
Good night all.
10:15 pm on August 25th, 2014
BooBear’s Mom & Dad are on our minds tonight. Sending Love and Hugs to them and to all who need it.
Signing off Early here…may join youse in watching the Emmys.

11:07 pm on August 25th, 2014
I think this was a rerun of last year’s Emmy’s when Breaking Bad won everything.
Rio: Heath? Got it!
11:18 pm on August 25th, 2014
I’m glad Breaking Bad has done so well at the Emmys!!
I’m not watching the Emmy Awards but hoped Rio would announce that Breaking Bad has won big time!!
Night All
11:27 pm on August 25th, 2014
Belle wants to know why her name is on the grammar link.
11:39 pm on August 25th, 2014
We too are tickled blue that BB won so much tonight, and Bryan C was a hoot all evening, and mom thinks he was just a tad s*xy, too! Nice ‘stache, BC.
Sleep well all. Do moths sleep?
11:44 pm on August 25th, 2014
We had a random act of moose today. We were here minding our own business when a big ol’ moose rig came thundering up the driveway. The driver was a hunter that got a moose early this morning and wanted to know would we like the scraps? With the urging of all of us, our lady accepted the offer. She cleared some space in the kennel for the rib cage. As she neared the back of the moose rig to accept the offering she saw the hoose mead. It was staring right at her. Did her stomach lurch? Youse tell us. As our Lady closed the lid of the freezer she thanked the Creator for the moose and asked to bless and keep the moose’s spirit.
12:12 am on August 26th, 2014
I will take my moose scraps medium rare, with some potatoes and carrots if it is not too much trouble. Otherwise, just toss me a rib. Thanks.
12:14 am on August 26th, 2014
O my how embarrassing. I just re-read the thieves post and noticed that there was no invitation to a moosefeast involved mentioned. Nevermind, my bad.
12:39 am on August 26th, 2014
Miss Macy: You are always welcome at our dog dish. No need to be embarrassed.
