Good morning! Prayers going out today for Callie.
9:32 am on October 23rd, 2012
Morning OHs!
Prayers for Callie and Gramp, G&BB’s dad, too!
Are youse guys still “fragrant’? ;^)
9:34 am on October 23rd, 2012
I like the picture of the Naturalist Dude. What concentration, what restraint!
Rio! I will ask the Prof to be on the look-out for the package, since I will be under Smoocher care tomorrow.
9:35 am on October 23rd, 2012
We are back to our old smell. Except that Kat’s kisses now taste and smell of eu de skunk.
9:47 am on October 23rd, 2012
It would be nice to hear from Chet…on Chet’s blog….
Good morning all.
9:49 am on October 23rd, 2012
Good Morning All. I think the OleyHowlers are going to be hit first by the storms headed this way. Kat should be pleased.
Did you know you could sleep on your ankle wrong? Jeez Louise.
YSAS photo shoot is fantastic. I am still working on his acting reel. He talked to a producer friend (that is going to be working with Anne Hathaway, maybe, it’s sort of on and off) and the friend gave him some great tips. YSAS needs to film one more thing and then I can finish this thing. It’s difficult to keep the entire thing just about a minute.
Okay, Newf Prayers are out for Callie and G&BB’s dad.
Time to go get Jesse. BBL
10:08 am on October 23rd, 2012
Morning everyone. Callie is at the animal hospital. Gramp was pretty upset about leaving her up there. Then the surgical technician came out and gave Callie a big hello, dropped to her knees and wrapped her arms around her, kissing her nose. Gramp felt a lot better after that.
Then some other folks walked in with their two Newfs – one black and one Irish spotted. We took that as a good sign too!
Surgery is scheduled for 1. They will call when she is awake from anesthesia. And we will take Gramp up there to visit her tonight if he wants. Callie will be there overnight with her own nurse, and an IV.
Thanks again for all the good thoughts. It means so much to Gramp. And to us.
10:16 am on October 23rd, 2012
Wow, Newf’s came to supervise. Callie is being cared for by the Newf Pack. They protect and serve!
I feel good about this. Real good.
Saw the end of the game last night. In the pouring rain. I was worried that someone would break a leg skidding in the mud. The only game I could watch and it is a runaway. sniff. Well I will try to watch the Series. It starts tomorrow B. I know you were curious.
Butterscotch pie please. š
10:22 am on October 23rd, 2012
It looks like some base of balls is in my future…sigh.
Butterscotch it is Staff.
10:28 am on October 23rd, 2012
It can’t be a real World Series if the Yankees aren’t in it.
10:30 am on October 23rd, 2012
Heh heh heh. Poor Sammy. Poor poor Sammy.
Snicker
10:32 am on October 23rd, 2012
I had wondered where Ros and Franklin had gone! Ros is a nurse and Franklin can make sure that everything goes well.
Dear Sam, There is life after the Yankees lose.
snicker
10:37 am on October 23rd, 2012
Giants won the pennant! Heh. I guess some of youse knew that already.
Staff: I will join you in a piece of B’s butterscotch pie. Too early you say? Never too early for pie!
10:51 am on October 23rd, 2012
Pennant! Really? We never win anything. Oh, you mean…Nevermind.
Gramps: Waiting is the hardest part, but I’m sure your girl is in good hands and paws.
10:52 am on October 23rd, 2012
Looks like Callie is in Good Hands today with the help of an Excellent surgeon and Ros and Franklin by her side.
Thinking of Gus&BooBear’s dad and hoping to hear he had a comfortable first night home.
Also wondering how Wolfie’s Mom is doing.
World Series starts tomorrow! (B, count me in for a piece of the pie) It’s east against west this go around.
10:52 am on October 23rd, 2012
Dear B, and any one else with e-book readers. Can you inherit someones e-books, or when they die are they all gone?
Staff is still resisting ereaders although she borrows Mr.Staff’s kindle now and again.
11:01 am on October 23rd, 2012
Sammie: Almost time for your first Smoocher mission! This will take your mind off (disappointing) things for a while.
Bella: Giant(s), Pennant…heh, heh…I get it.
Staff: Seems to me if you have the Kindle or Nook in your possession you would be able to read what is on it without a problem.
11:38 am on October 23rd, 2012
I’m glad the surgical technician knows how to welcome dogs. Please let us know how Callie is T&G when you can.
11:42 am on October 23rd, 2012
Baseball doesn’t matter anymore. Like Sammie said, the Yankees aren’t playing.
11:43 am on October 23rd, 2012
Staff: I’m sorry but I don’t know the answer. If you have the Amazon member’s name and password, I would think that you could keep the Kindle account as is. Perhaps an email to Amazon asking about it?
11:45 am on October 23rd, 2012
Prayers and good thoughts for Callie and Gramps.
Mom has been back several times in the recovery and kenneling area of one of those good enemrgency clincs (for Husky Rescue) and she was totally impressed with the care and attention the dogs receive. When it comes to dog care, it takes a lot to impress mom.
11:48 am on October 23rd, 2012
Callie, Gramps and G&B’s dad, all in our thoughts today. Healing energy heading your way.
We felt bad about the Cards, the only team we even remotely care about. It is a family thing.
Barb has kids today. Lyla is home sick and I tried to cheer her up by jumping on the sofa with her and licking her ears. Barb said that was a little over the top so I had to stop. I stopped immediately, almost, or maybe not at all. I love ears,especially little kid ears.
11:49 am on October 23rd, 2012
Staff, I don’t know the answer to that question either, but mom always emails or calls Amazon with questions like that.
GIANTS WON!!! The dirty birds are NOT going to the World series. WOO WOO
Rio is going to cheer for the Giants with me!
11:58 am on October 23rd, 2012
I forgot to say Butterscotch.
Rebecca, We are sorry you have to go to bed without any baseball toys. Rio and I know what we will get you for Christmas.
12:14 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Maggie, I know a good lick around my ears would cheer me up!
12:33 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Thinking about Callie!
Dad is still in hospital and did not have a good night. Pain gripped him and it didn’t go away with meds. He was so tired and couldn’t sleep because of the pain. They did a CT scan this am but all is ok at the surgery site. Will stay in hospital one more day for rest and pain control but should go home tomorrow.
Mom had a good cry a little while ago and now is better able to face the day. Not only is she worried about Dad, but she misses us alot.
12:43 pm on October 23rd, 2012
G&BB, it’s very important not to let the pain start. Because if it does it’s hard to stop it. Lesson learned by me and being told time and time again by Golinka.
Working as momeger again.
12:48 pm on October 23rd, 2012
G&BB: Sorry to hear about your pop’s bad night. You tell your mom that sometimes a good cry is jut the right medicine. Youse guys take care of your mom, and yourselves, and know that I am thinking good thoughts for all of you. Scritches and head bumps all around.
12:48 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Gus and BooBear – the good news is that the pain wasn’t related to any surgical problems. That said, we are very sorry to hear that your Dad is in so much pain. That can happen a few days after surgery. Sometimes a nerve that has been cut suddenly wakes up and says, “oh ya – OUCH!!! ”
We hope they can handle the pain for him. And tell your Mom that a good cleansing cry could be very good for her.
Lots if hugs, prayers and support coming your way.
12:48 pm on October 23rd, 2012
G&BB, sorry to heear your dad had a bad night. Hoping pain lessens today and tonight.
Who doesn’t love getting their ears licked? Or anything else for that matter. Kat specializes in toe chews.
Staff, Kindle does books by account. We think that account could be transferred to your name. It is a really good question actually, and one we had not considered. You can inherit books, and they are a treasure. But what about eBooks.
12:57 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Gus&BooBear: We misunderstood and thought your dad was going home last night. But are thankful he was in the hospital because of the painful night. Healing Prayers for him and Big Hugs to all of you.
Barb&Magpie: We, too, are fans. The Big Win of last season will have to tide us over for another year. Tony La Russa was an all time great manager. We miss him.
2:25 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Ahem – we would like to interrupt this here blog to say that Callie is out of surgery and is awake.
The surgeon just called to say that she did beautifully, and that the tumor was not deep rooted. And he said that his biggest concern was having a large wound to close on an area without a lot of excess skin, but that her skin was flexible and supple enough to allow a good closure.
She is being watched by her nurse, and we will go get her tomorrow. The pathology won’t be in for a week, but the doctor said he feels very good about everything.
Thanks for all your support.
We now return you to the regular blog postings
(whew)
2:30 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Tigers vs Giants!…snort!…Something about this scenario is very familiar…wheeze!…So no game tonight and then tomorrow the World Series starts!….Yipppeeeee!…The last light before the winter darkness settles in…gruffle! …Pie please! With icecream….sneeze!
2:44 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Puss N’ Boots!…Tell yer maw that my friend says a good cry is very helpful when bad things go down…wuffle!…She says a really long walk helps too…grunt!
2:49 pm on October 23rd, 2012
More!…Oh and if she can learn how to twirl paper that would really help too…sniff!
3:01 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Hip Hip Hurrah for Callie and Gramps!!!
I sure hope this weather front starts coming through. I hurt and can’t stay awake. Doesn’t keep me from being the MOMAGER. Just hope what I’m doing makes sense.
3:14 pm on October 23rd, 2012
BSD, you were not wrong. We were told he might go home yesterday. And we grasped at that. And yesterday he felt great until nighttime.
Fantastic about Callie! I’m sure she will be ready to get home!
3:20 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Gus&BoBear I’m sorry your dad had a bad night and I know your mom misses you guys. Prayers that he will be on his way home tomorrow and pain free.
Callie’s surgery seems to have gone very well. I know she will be happy to be back home with Gramp.
3:23 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Hooray for Callie!!! We know Gramp is so thankful and relieved, as are we all.
Gus&BooBear: Sending Bear Hugs.
3:31 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Riƶ: The pie ala mode was yesterday pal. I believe the pie du jour is butterscotch.
btw…now that we’re gearing up for the Series and long nights, see if your friend can dig out the list of blog times…DarkSide, Twilight, etc. for you to post.
4:07 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Hurray for Callie!
Tigers or Giants…not sure who we will root for, but just mentioning the 2 teams could get us butterscotch pie, we hope.
4:14 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Sammie is here with me for a couple of days so she needs to be picked up in Ellicottville tomorrow instead of Amherst. If Luna doesn’t have a GPS, that’s okay. She can just go to the eastern end of Lake Erie and then go due south 50 miles. Sammie will be waiting with her pink snuggie on.
4:15 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Maskers!…I know exactly where the Darkside list is…sniff!…But I need to wait for my friend to get home to get the box down off the bed in the room I am forbidden to go into…grump!
5:01 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Last night Zoe and I watched the original “Wolfman”. Tonight is the 1931 “Dracula”. What fun!
5:02 pm on October 23rd, 2012
The Darkside List! We will need it very soon. Tonight will be soon enough.
6:05 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Melanie: Love those old movies! What channel are you & Zoe watching?
Preparing for blurr-off…soon to be on the East Coast with the rest of the Smoochers team. Sammie, if you see Luna overhead don’t panic and think she’s a hawk.
6:45 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Watching Netflix. Tomorrow? “Dead and Loving It”
6:46 pm on October 23rd, 2012
A friend and I gave a conference presentation years ago in New Orleans about the various movie versions of Dracula. It was fun.
6:51 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Rio! OMD, Rio. Check out the second post under Chet’s facebook thingy over there on the right.
I am amazed! Do you remember that? What a genius!
6:56 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Sharp eyes, Staff. It must be the take-out Chinese food.
7:05 pm on October 23rd, 2012
T&G, So happy to hear the good news about Callie! Hugs to Gramp and Callie.
7:18 pm on October 23rd, 2012
YARK!! I would have missed that if it weren’t for Staff.
YARK!! Spence picked the teams way back in the Spring. Way To Go!
I hope smoking hasn’t been part of the Timmy’s pitching problems this season. I hope he shines in the World Series.
(Butterscotch)
7:18 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Luna, if you lose your way coming east, just take a good sniff. You will find me.
7:27 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Hi Rio! You and Wookie are up top. BFF.
7:30 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Good news for Callie and Gramp and the rest of the family.
G&BB – we’re sorry your dad got caught with pain. Melanie’s right about not letting it take hold. Our RN girl preaches that.
Bee – New Orleans, movie versions and Dracula – there’s surely a Chet title in there somewhere.
Staff – do you think Spence will give himself a prize of beer?
7:38 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Who is Timmy?
7:45 pm on October 23rd, 2012
B, I think he might be a pitcher on Siber-H and Rio’s team.
7:56 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Good news about Callie. We are sure Gramps is feeling better.
Tomorrow will be a better day for G&B’s dad.
Time for those in need to crawl under the quilt. Healing thoughts to all.
8:02 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Timmy Lincecum… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Lincecum
Rose is right. Pitcher for the San Fran Giants. He was ‘smokin’ hot two years ago in the World Series.
8:07 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Must go to sleep . . .
TTFN
8:07 pm on October 23rd, 2012
We don’t know what Staff and Rio abpnd the rest of youse are seeing posted that makes Spence win something.
8:14 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Fellow Sibers, Go over to the little Chet the Dog Facebook square on this blog and scroll down.
Spence hasn’t really won anything but we think he should for predicting the two teams way back in April that will play in this year’s World Series.
8:15 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Staff!…Yes, I remembered his picks thats why I said the Tigers vs the Giants was a familiar scenario…heh!heh!…I bet ole Spencer will be gloating all over the blog tomorrow…sniff!…I hate when the facebookie thing gets stuff before us…grumble!
8:20 pm on October 23rd, 2012
I didn’t remember Spence’s World Series picks, but I am impressed now.
I don’t like it when facebookie gets news before we do either.
8:23 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Thanks Siber, we see it now. That Spence…smartest guy on the blog.
We here are very tired. Going to bed. Good night. ZZZZZzzzzzzzz
8:35 pm on October 23rd, 2012
OHowlers – Why are you so tired tonight? Maybe too much hunting, killing, and bathing, perhaps?
8:39 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Am glad to hear thar Callie’s surgery went well. Am worried about g&bb’s dad.
Mom came home on Sunday and is still in her pajamas. She thinks she will join the human race again tomorrow, but for now it feels as if she has the flu, but it could be symptoms of a broken heart.
8:58 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Awww – Wolfie – we are so sad to hear that your Mom is feeling so low. Hugs, and slurpy Corgi kisses, and kitty cuddles coming at ya.
9:13 pm on October 23rd, 2012
MPM: thanks for the directions. I spotted Sam with not problem. She looked great in her pink snuggie. At first, it seemed that she thought it was an incoming hawk and tried to hide, but then she noticed my lack of wings and beak. Sam squirms and weighs a lot less than AJ. We arrived at Wose’s an let ourselves into the apartment. She had already gone to bed. We will be with her when she wakes tomorrow morning.
Wolfie: Do you need back up taking care of your mom? They’re not Smoochers, but several of the Kennel would be happy to help dry some tears and provide head bumps.
9:16 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Wolfie’s Mom, Stay in your pajamas as long as you need to. It is part of the healing process.
Husky Hugs
9:31 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Whn Molly’s Mom picked me up I snuck my iPaw in my bag. Hee hee. I’m waiting for Rose to wake up and I will go into cuddle mode.
9:45 pm on October 23rd, 2012
From the looks of it, Sam is going to be a wonderful Smoocher. She has the right combination of cuddles, cuteness and sass.
9:46 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Hey folks, Mama has a serious question. Sage has been sneezing all day. 3 to 5 sneezes in a row. He is being a little quieter than usual, but other than that seems pretty normal.
Has anyone had any experience with this kind of thing with their kat? Should Mama take Sage to the v e t?
9:48 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Sneezing!…He (the Kat) probably has hayfever like Beau does…snort!
9:49 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Wolfie,
I have had to make myself get out of my PJ’s and into ‘real’ clothes some days. If no one is scheduled to come to the house it is a PJ day. I have PJ’s that are a top and slacks so that it doesn’t look too bad. And yes, I do go out and get the paper that way.
Once winter comes though I do have to wear a coat. š
9:54 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Tupper and Gilly.
Cats can get upper respiratory infections from humans. Abbie caught it from Maggie when she (abbie) was a little kitten. So, since your Mom recently had a bad cold then Sage might have caught it. Watch her and if she seems too ill then you can take her in. Abbie ended up getting antibiotics.
Maggie had a terrible cough and wouldn’t go in to the doctor, but she wanted me to take Abbie in. I said, “You won’t go, but the kat has to go to the emergency vet???” Mom ended up going in and a good thing too. She had bronchitis. Then Abbie went. What a pair.
9:56 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Bedtime for Maggie. Night all.
9:58 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Proof!…Out of the mouth of Staff, certified Kat owner. Kats are a Pain…huffle!
9:58 pm on October 23rd, 2012
PJs! We don’t need no stinking PJs! We sleep in the buff.
10:07 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Rio!
You traitor!
Switching over to the Giants at the last moment.
Go Tigers!
10:10 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Staff – thanks for the advice. Both Sage and Basil had colds when we adopted them from the shelter. The folks there sent them home with drops to put in their food, and they were soon as right as rain.
Sage has had two more colds since then, both times he had a cough and runny nose. And he needed meds. Guess he is up for a trip in the cat carrier tomorrow…
10:17 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Dawson!… I know! I know! I know the Giants more than I know the Tigersā¦.snort!… I watched them fight back from 3 games down to winnit. ā¦heh!…I love that about them. Besides you will have Stover rooting alongside you during the Series. That will be something remarkable!….chuffle!
10:23 pm on October 23rd, 2012
As glad as I am that the Giants won last night, I am equally glad that we were not there to celebrate. It is a long walk from AT&T park to the buses and Bart.
10:31 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Good Morning Rose!
Thinking of you! We are with you in spirit.
(whispering) I just hope Kat doesn’t get caught in the rain
10:35 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Wolfie!…Iāve heard tails that it is a long walk from parking lot B to the Rockies Ballpark tooā¦snort!….She says she finally got smart and now asks for parking lot A for 2 bucks moreā¦heh!heh!… As much as my friend likes to walk, she likes being in the ballpark more.ā¦.chorkel!….She says this is the reason I cannot go because I would never make āwalk A or Bāā¦grump!

And for Sammy
10:52 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Toes!…How does that guy get the tip of his toes so dark?…sniff!…That is very stylish in the pug-world of do’s and don’ts…heh!heh!
10:53 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Hey!… That is Sammie!…heh!heh!
10:54 pm on October 23rd, 2012
My favorite is the Pug in the Pug costume.
Right after the Pug in the Pirate costume.
10:57 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Staff!…heh!snort!heh!…I wondered what the heck that was…chorkel!…Still, how does that first guy get his toes so evenly dark?…wuffle!
10:59 pm on October 23rd, 2012
A pug in a pug costume! That’s so overt, it’s covert!
I’m still at the office. There is an accident on the highway between me and home and traffic is stopped. Grump!
11:00 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Rebecca!!….So Overt its Covert!…chorkel!…I love that line and anything that pertains to it…sniff!
11:01 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Rio, Playing in mud?
11:01 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Rio, Shoe Polish?
11:02 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Hey! They let that through! (the shoo)
11:02 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Rio: That is exactly why I said it.
Sam still has the hanger and tags on her little costume.
11:03 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Gasp!…It is 7:00pm your time. Do you have anything to eat at the office?…wuffle!…Is The Giant home to fee Junior and the rest of the gang?…grunt!…I cannot imagine eating any later than 6:00pm myself…wheeze!
11:09 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Staff: I like the first one. It looks as if Rio’s friend got busy with her quilling paper. Heh!
11:09 pm on October 23rd, 2012
No!…I have to go to bed now…grump!…Damned screwed-up-busy-place…sniff!…She says “ta hell” with it during the World Series though…Yipppeeee!…Goodnight All!
11:17 pm on October 23rd, 2012

11:19 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Damit! Where’s my Darkside list?
11:20 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Sorry, Rose.
11:31 pm on October 23rd, 2012
Staff, Those are great photos!
night all
2:04 am on October 24th, 2012
Home! I finally got home a bit ago and am headed to my nice, warm bed without any snoring pugs.
Rio: no need to worry. Handler Jeremy is back so he feeds the dogs when we are not around. Rio takes after his pug side and will not be denied dinner, not that we would.
Wose: Smooch! You and Wolfie, G&BB, CHH, the Newfs and their humans, terry, Staff and Dawson and their family, and Callie and Gramps are in my thoughts. Did I miss anyone? I hope not. One last check of the quilt’s parimeter looks like everyone is tucked snuggly in place.
6:13 am on October 24th, 2012
Good Morning All!
The Prof, the Smoochers,and I are getting ready for my lightning bolt appointment. I woke to cuddles for Sammie, some relaxing pawflexology from Masquers, motherly love from Luna, Belle Starr sitting on my head, and smooches from Kat. (Whispering) OHs, I think she will need another bath when she gets home, but for today, I’ll ask Nurse Lisa to rub some lavender on her.
6:15 am on October 24th, 2012
Good Morning, Siber-H!
Staff, those pug pictures made me laugh!
