Zzzzzz
(Everyone’s sleeping. But we love the West and here’s music about it. The actual song starts at 4:07.)
Welcome Penny.

Good morning all.
9:01 am on September 27th, 2012
Good Morning, B!
Wish I was still zzzzzzzzzzzz
Greetings to All!
9:11 am on September 27th, 2012
I hope you’re feeling better Rose.
9:25 am on September 27th, 2012
The Royal Mum did tell us how much her bear sold for – at 10:20 a.m. yesterday. Hee hee.
9:32 am on September 27th, 2012
Rio must have been reading every other word. Hee hee again.
9:37 am on September 27th, 2012
Sammie!… Go get wonderfluffed….snort!…Time to kick some Beau-butt…grunt!…See youse all tonight. Maybe….grump!
10:14 am on September 27th, 2012
Good morning all. Thanks for the link Spence. We enjoyed the song very much – the lines about the Northern Lights, the Hawk on the wing and the Great Divide really got in our throats. And Dad really loved that guy’s jacket. Looks like Mama is going to be spending the day doing some research shopping for “man’s western jacket”.
Rio – for shame. “Go get Wonderfluffed?” tee hee
10:32 am on September 27th, 2012
B, sometimes the day after lightning bolts is worse. I guess it is the trauma the body experiences having electric shock going through it. I feel as if I were run over by an 18-wheeeler….
10:38 am on September 27th, 2012
Rose: I hope tomorrow is better.
10:40 am on September 27th, 2012
Good morning all. Rose stay under the quilt for one more day.
Rio, You could just say “get fluffed” for short.
Here is one pic of the mostly-put-together bedroom. Might have another later. Back is killing me today from all that lifting.
10:46 am on September 27th, 2012
Thanks for the music, Spence. We love the West too. In the lower 48, we wouldn’t live live anywhere else.
They mention Ian Tyson in that video. Don’t get us started…we love him.
Good Morning Everyone!
Wose, We wish you didn’t have to go to work today. Rest would be beter. Too bad the Smoochers couldn’t do your job for you for one day. Masquers could, but the girls, I doubt it.
10:48 am on September 27th, 2012
Barb, That looks very nice. You are doing good work fast.
10:49 am on September 27th, 2012
Belle Starr, yes I would like to join the Smoochers. Is there a form I need to fill out?
11:05 am on September 27th, 2012
Wose, does the extra “e” mean the 18 wheeler took it’s time hitting you?
Barb and MagPie, that pic looks like you’ve been there for years!
Get Fluffed, indeed!
Waiting for . . . Rose ate the plum that I’ve been waiting to ripen. Then she went on the Walk / Run and ate a ton of grass. Going to be an interesting day.
I cleaned out the spice cabinet and gave myself an allergy attack. OLd, old, old, old spices turn to dust.
Terry, thinking of you. Macy, thinking of you, C.Hobbit, thinking of you.
Now time for another nap.
11:09 am on September 27th, 2012
Sammie joining the Smoochers? This is great news! When Rose goes to her office she can smuggle you in by purse. Just like Elle on Legally Blonde.
11:18 am on September 27th, 2012
Melanie: Those dust bunnies aren’t bunnies at all, but nasty little particles that get in your nose and make you sneeze. Aaaaachoo!
Rose (the 4-legged, not the two) hope you are feeling better after eating that plum.
Rose (the 2-legged, not the four) Sorry you have to work today. The team really can use Sammie’s talents. She would be a great comfort in just such a situation.
11:19 am on September 27th, 2012
Melanie: Thinking of you.
11:29 am on September 27th, 2012
Barb&Magpie: Your new bedroom looks picture perfect!
Decorating and shopping for the new house…what fun!
We loved the song.
11:42 am on September 27th, 2012
Barb: That is a lovely brass bed.
I’m thinking of making butterscotch pudding…if I could get out of my easy chair.
11:48 am on September 27th, 2012
Butterscotch pudding. YUM!
Barb, Maggie has the same little table next to her bed. On hers are pills and kleenex and water and well, much more than on yours. It came from her families farm in Pataskala, Ohio way back when. It still looks good though. Your bedroom looks like a magazine picture. We are impressed.
Rose. Look out for those wide turns. They can really take you out.
11:51 am on September 27th, 2012
OOOooo Bee – we will be blurring right over. We LOVE butterscotch anything!
Barb – what a cozy place to curl up with a good book.
Both Roses – hope any and all after effects are mild.
11:56 am on September 27th, 2012
Oh, and as the Howlers mentioned, we can now post pictures ourselves from the ipaw.
Who knows what kind of images will show up.
12:06 pm on September 27th, 2012
It took me a while to remember that it is my birthday today.
Thinking of everyone especially Melanie, Terry and Rose. Hopefully the bad news stops at three (but we are here for each other if it doesn’t).
12:10 pm on September 27th, 2012
Staff: We were thrilled to receive the little package so soon! Now all that remains is the ummm planting of it.
B: Butterscotch pudding you say? Quite a crowd of us are gathering ’round for a taste…so you MUST get out of your easy chair…and prepare!
12:13 pm on September 27th, 2012
Happy Birthday CHarris!! Husky birthday hugs from NM.
12:14 pm on September 27th, 2012
C.Hobbit: Happy Birthday to You! Arroooooo!
12:23 pm on September 27th, 2012
Happy Birthday to C. Harris and belated happy birthday to Rebecca.
Terry — our thoughts and prayers are with you at the difficult time. As others have said, don’t be shy about pulling the quilt around you.
Rio — the Nationals have made the playoffs at least as a wild card team. They have seven games left to pay, and any combination of 4 wins by them or losses by Atlanta will give them the divison title. Unfortunately, like ketchup coming out of a bottle, the anticipation is killing us National fans at this point; they managed to lose three games to Atlanta a short while ago and have split the first two games in their current series with the Phillies. They should get there, but they are making it as painful as possible.
Wookie
12:27 pm on September 27th, 2012
Good morning! We were not able to get on this here blog earlier…apparently AT&T’s data lines were down.
We have not yet listened to the song of the west.
Barb and Maggie, the bedroom looks great, and is one we wish we could retreat to (sorry, Bee).
Melanie! Good to hear from you…hope your Rose suffers no ill consequences.
Wose! We think the Smoochers should have stuck around longer. Your next day is worse, so what were they thinking, leaving your side yesterday?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHH. altho, we know you’ve seen better ones. Keep your chin up.
12:31 pm on September 27th, 2012
Wose, Mommy says that I should come back there and go to your office. I have my own briefcase (the fact that it contains nothing but yummy chummies can be our little secret).
Sammie, welcome to Team Smoocher!!!! You fit right in! What I mean by that, is that you fit inside anything!!! If there is an application form, Belle or Luna or Masquers must have filled mine out..they can do it for you too!
12:41 pm on September 27th, 2012
Fluffed!…Sammie knows I hold her very high in my pug-heart…heh!heh!
Quit!…So someone took the Boney-Fingered ones advice and found the door…chorkel!…Major impact on the already stressed out dept-from-hell….sniff!…Too damned bad it wasn’t my friend who found the way out. She is still searching…grunt!
12:41 pm on September 27th, 2012
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE CUTEST LITTLE HOBBIT WE KNOW!
May the fur on your toes grow ever curlier. That IS a hobbit blessing, right?
12:44 pm on September 27th, 2012
Wookie!…SiberH and I are afraid to jinx your team, so we will just peek every now and then at the standings…heh!heh!….Goooooo Nationals!…Woooooo!
12:44 pm on September 27th, 2012
Hobbit!…Its the Hobbits Birthday?…hmmmm!…Sept. is chalk full of birthdays. I will have to go shopping for a card later when my friend gets home…heh!
12:55 pm on September 27th, 2012
CHH: Happy birthday to you!!!!!
B&M, I love your bedroom. It looks very peaceful and inviting.
Kat, you can come to my office any time. The briefcase does make a nice accessory.
Sammie! You are a Smoocher! I mostly carry big bags, so I’ll be able to get you in and out of the office with no problems! :^)
Melanie, yep, the 18-wheeler took an extra roll over my back!
1:11 pm on September 27th, 2012
CHobbit – Happy Birthday!
1:22 pm on September 27th, 2012
Rose: Drat! I knew we shouldn’t have left so soon. Did you really go to work today?
1:29 pm on September 27th, 2012
Happy birthday C. Harris.
It smells like lovely butterscotch around here.
1:31 pm on September 27th, 2012
Riö: With her department in shambles and employees dropping like flies, we doubt the Bony-Fingered One will be in charge much longer.
1:41 pm on September 27th, 2012
B: It does indeed smell heavenly. Soon there will be knock, knock, knocking at your door. Hope you made a bunch!
I would be willing to make a special delivery to those in need of comfort under the Quilt. Perhaps the River Bears could assist me? Warm pudding…Yum!
1:42 pm on September 27th, 2012
Hey, C.Hobbit! Birthday Pudding!
1:42 pm on September 27th, 2012
Come and get it!
1:47 pm on September 27th, 2012
Masquers, yes, I did go to work today. If only I would have taken home my computer on Tuesday……
1:48 pm on September 27th, 2012
Rio, We need to look on the bright side about our baseball team this year. We don’t have the stress that Wookie does while following the Nationals right now.
1:49 pm on September 27th, 2012
I’m there! Too bad AbbietheKitty is with Mr.Staff. I bet she doesn’t even know about the pudding.
2:26 pm on September 27th, 2012
Perhaps Abbie could blur here.
2:35 pm on September 27th, 2012
Mama Luna has been giving me secret blurring lessons. I could try blurring pudding to Abbie, as long as I am back home before the rents get here. Mommy tends to worry overmuch.
2:42 pm on September 27th, 2012
Bee, I found my way to a river…don’t know if it is that one near Wose’s…but I don’t know which house is yours. Could you please throw a ball or something?
2:54 pm on September 27th, 2012
How about a butterscotch pudding birthday cake for C Hobbit? Best wishes to you CHH.
Thanks for all the compliments on the bedroom.
It is now nap time for Barb and Maggie.
3:11 pm on September 27th, 2012
Ummm – we’re not sure that the pudding is fit for making a cake….or for consumption. You see, Gilly went missing for a while, and she just walked nonchalantly into the room, licking her lips, and with something ran and sticky on the tips of her ears. Smells suspiciously like butterscotch…..
3:13 pm on September 27th, 2012
make that “TAN and sticky”
sigh
3:21 pm on September 27th, 2012
Happy birthday to our resident hobbit!
3:24 pm on September 27th, 2012
Kat: I’m throwing a tennis ball.
T&G: Gilly got away before I could clean her up…but there’s still plenty of pudding.
3:29 pm on September 27th, 2012
I’m at Sam’s now for a three-day marathon of reunion activites with 10 BFF’s from high school.
We start with dinner tonight, then tomorrow go on a morning sail on a tall ship in the Buffalo harbor, then lunch, shopping on Elmwood and finally dinner.
Tomorrow is a tour of Darwin Martin’s GreyCliff house, lunch, a tour of Our Lady of Victory Basilica and museum, and finally dinner and drop dead.
I’m asking myself why I agreed to do all this. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I’m tired already just from thinking about all this.
3:35 pm on September 27th, 2012
Wose: Please open your desk drawer soon! It’s getting crowded in here!
3:51 pm on September 27th, 2012
I have been spending the afternoon trying to figure out if I can download ‘talking books’ to my computer and move them to a thumb drive and then my parents can play them on the digital player that comes from the library for the blind.
I have something on a thumb drive. (Do not ask me how I did it. It involved two passwords and two websites and a lot of clicks.) Thank goodness I had a pudding break!
In a few minutes Dad will check it out and see if it works.
I sure hope it does.
I have spent hours on this.
3:52 pm on September 27th, 2012
By the way, Dawson. The bacon worked. snicker
3:52 pm on September 27th, 2012
Belle Starr: Owww! Move over…your paw is in my face…and somebody just stepped on my tail.
Staff! Paws crossed!
3:55 pm on September 27th, 2012
Sounds like a fun day! Although exhausting it will be a Happy tired.
Staff: Bacon?
4:22 pm on September 27th, 2012
Silly Gilly!
4:25 pm on September 27th, 2012
What the Hey?! I just posted as MollyPop’s Mom! Gah! It was supposed to be addressed to her not by her. This happened to Wose yesterday too when she inadvertently posted as Belle Starr.
4:26 pm on September 27th, 2012
Sorry. (paws over face)
5:03 pm on September 27th, 2012
Thanks everyone. This blog is making me happy. Siber: you are the definition of an optimist–always looking on the bright side. BSD: it’s ok.
5:04 pm on September 27th, 2012
Weather showing possible flurries tomorrow and this weekend. Been raking leaves like a crazy person. At least it didn’t snow on my b-day.
5:06 pm on September 27th, 2012
You’ll have fun Mollypop’s Mom.
5:16 pm on September 27th, 2012
Bee,
I saw a ball, but it was a football. Some really big guy said it was a Ravens’ ball and that the river I saw was the Chesapeake. Hey, I know the Chesapeake…I was on this here river when I went boating!
I still do not smell butterscotch.
5:48 pm on September 27th, 2012
Kat! Do we need to send out a search party?
5:49 pm on September 27th, 2012
Kat: Perhaps Wolfie can blur you here. He might like some pudding also.
5:53 pm on September 27th, 2012
B: That is a great idea. After all, Wolfie is the Proficient Blurrer and the one who first taught us all.
5:57 pm on September 27th, 2012
Wolfie, please search for Kat. Mom will be home soon, and she is not going to be happy when Kat isn’t here to greet her.
MollysMom, your weekend sounds so much fun, especially the Tall Ship. If you see Kat on your lake, please pick her up. She is a goofball.
6:15 pm on September 27th, 2012
MPM, Dad thought he wouldn’t eat. Dawson said make some Bacon. He ate. He also had 2 soft boiled eggs and toast. snicker. Bacon has many mysterious powers.
6:27 pm on September 27th, 2012
Bacon! OMD. I faintly remember Wose saying something about a bacon shortage somewhere, but can’t be sure.
6:34 pm on September 27th, 2012
O.Howlers: If Wolfie isn’t able to blur Kat home in time before your mom returns how about a holographic image? She’ll never suspect. snicker.
6:35 pm on September 27th, 2012
Happy bday, CHH! Enjoy your day.
6:53 pm on September 27th, 2012
Happy belated bday, Rebecca! Sorry we missed it yesterday. Sounds like the Giant did good!
7:03 pm on September 27th, 2012
I’m headed to bed. But first!
Happy Birthday to our HOBBIT!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ9mYtCAGf8
7:11 pm on September 27th, 2012
Howlers: My four-legged said she can blur Kat home while I stay with Maquers.
7:26 pm on September 27th, 2012
I like butterscotch anything. Prepare to be blurred.
7:32 pm on September 27th, 2012
There’s Wolfie! (The pudding is good.)
7:34 pm on September 27th, 2012
Wolfie to the Rescue!
Melanie: Wonderful and so Perfect.
7:34 pm on September 27th, 2012
Mary here. My mom is in ICU, sedated and on a breathing tube. She has COPD and has these episodes about every six months. I am headed for southern California tomorrow.
Terry, I am so sorry to hear about your dad.
7:42 pm on September 27th, 2012
Someone was worried about the bacon shortage. Here is a synopsis.
Warning…funny.
http://www.motherjones.com/blue-marble/2012/09/impending-global-bacon-shortage-and-climate-change
7:43 pm on September 27th, 2012
Oh Wolfie,
I am sorry to hear about your Mom. Our parents are having a very bad time lately. Hope the news is better when you get there.
7:47 pm on September 27th, 2012
Let us know Mary.
8:05 pm on September 27th, 2012
Mary – you know she will be in our prayer tonight for sure
Many if us are the same basic age group, and that means our parents are also the same generation. It is hard to see them in pain and dealing with the difficulties of aging. We certainly appreciate the support of all youse guys, and the strength of your prayers that have helped so many.
Hope to hear from Terry soon.
Staff- fingers crossed for your tech abilities.
Bee – thanks for trying to clean Gilly up before she blurred home. She is one wiggly little Corgi, especially when she needs a bath. But fear not. Tupper had a grand time getting her clean.
8:07 pm on September 27th, 2012
Wolfie: Sorry to hear this. Please keep us posted.
8:14 pm on September 27th, 2012
Wolfie and Luna, Thanks for the blur home. Please take good care of your mom, Wolfie, until she leaves to take care of her mom.
Bee, sorry that I couldn’t find you. Luna says my blurring is coming along, but my knowledge of geography leaves something to be desired.
8:17 pm on September 27th, 2012
Wolfie: I pray for your mother’s comfort and the calming of her heart.
I am thinking that we should all meet under the Quilt. There are some that truly need it’s comfort and the rest of us can be there to make sure it doesnt fall from burdened shoulders.
8:34 pm on September 27th, 2012
Howlers: I’m not very good at geography either.
I’m glad Tupper enjoyed cleaning up Gilly.
8:38 pm on September 27th, 2012
Harris, Hope you have your best birthay to date, and the rest just get better.
8:39 pm on September 27th, 2012
Hope your birthDay is great too.
8:45 pm on September 27th, 2012
Tyb: I’ve heard that in some parts, the ‘d’ is silent. 😉
9:10 pm on September 27th, 2012
T&G, Yes the download worked. I am not sure I can do it again, but I am willing to try the next time Dad (or Mom) find a book that they want to read that is not in the standard catalog.
9:14 pm on September 27th, 2012
A meeting under the quilt is a very good idea. Sasha is so unsure of her whereabouts. Maybe the rest of youse can set her on her true course.
9:15 pm on September 27th, 2012
Bacon!….We had our walk after my friend finally got home and then we had bacon for supper….snort!snort!…No shortage around here by golly. I got my share and Beau’s….heh!heh!
9:21 pm on September 27th, 2012
Staff: Climate change and those fracking chemicals will do it every time.
9:29 pm on September 27th, 2012
CHobbit!… I found the perfect card for you because you never eat anything anymore…snort!

Melanoe, BEST BIRTHDAY VIDEO … EVER !
Hapy happy Birthday, resident Hobbit!
9:30 pm on September 27th, 2012
Melanie. Grr
9:30 pm on September 27th, 2012
Frack!…Thats my new favorite word. My friend says it a lot at the busy-screwed-place….snort! …I’m not sure in what context though…sniff!
9:35 pm on September 27th, 2012
Melanie!….Great video! Makes us want to watch the whole trilogy all over again…snorkel!…Love it!
9:36 pm on September 27th, 2012
Fracking is happening here in PA, and it is not pretty. People’s wells are going bad. Thereby goes our favorite drink.
9:37 pm on September 27th, 2012
Rio, lets have a LOTR party!
9:45 pm on September 27th, 2012
Howlers!…I’m always ready for a good party…snort!snort!…Although, Wookie is glued to his tv watching the Nationals and will not be able to swing by and pick me up in his Wookie-mobile…grunt!…The Beaus-mobile is out of commission because Beau ran a red light and a copper pulled him over…sniff!…Of course he jumped out of the car before the cop saw him and now the ole hunk of junk has been towed. Beau doesn’t have the greenbacks to get it out of the car-pound…grump!…That guy is always getting in trouble!
9:48 pm on September 27th, 2012
SiberH!…Our team is winning so far…heh!heh!…I have to try and remember this feeling – of winning….wuffle!
9:51 pm on September 27th, 2012
Pudding!…Is there any pudding left?….sniff!sniff!….That always goes good with bacon…heh!
10:01 pm on September 27th, 2012
Bedroom!….Wow, look at Barbs bedroom!…snort!…My friend says, “You can sure tell she doesn’t live with two smelly, farty-pants pugs who like to put their disgusting beat up toyz on her bed while she is gone.” …chorkel!…Plus, I bet Barb does not have two beds that smell like Beau and I on the other side of her bed either…heh!heh!…Our bedroom is pretty lively every night, what with all the burping and farting, not to mention the double, sometimes triple-decker snoring going on…chuffle!…We have to keep the windows open just so the whole house doesn’t blow-up!…heh!
10:01 pm on September 27th, 2012
We are being told we must hit the hay. Hay is in the barn, but Mom is pointing upstairs. We live our life in comfusion,
10:01 pm on September 27th, 2012
Okay!…I’m done, I’m all alone againg….grump!spit!
10:02 pm on September 27th, 2012
Okay, so I’m back from dinner and I did have a couple glasses of wine. I check in on the blog and see Bear posting for me, my dear niece Kat is a hologram, and fracking is going on. I need to go lie down.
10:03 pm on September 27th, 2012
Mom and Pop are on a 3-day weekend…a.k.a. Mini-vacation!!!!! YAY !!!
10:06 pm on September 27th, 2012
Aunt MollysMom! We are drinking wine too and mums the word on the hologram idea…a BSD idea that never came to fruition.
Pop made a steak au poivre using our Delmomicos. Thats why the wine is open.
10:09 pm on September 27th, 2012
Drinks!…How come everyone is drinking but me!me!me!?….grunt!…My friend says she is getting some beer after work tomorrow, so there!…sneeze!…She will share, I just know it.
10:19 pm on September 27th, 2012
Mollys Mom is having a glass of vodka, she didn’t go to bed yet.
10:21 pm on September 27th, 2012
Rio, yes, our team is winning.
BTW I like your new word.
10:21 pm on September 27th, 2012
Sammie!….You little tattle-tail…snort!
10:22 pm on September 27th, 2012
SiberH!…I had all but given up on you tonight….snort!…Where have you been? Not watching the Nationals I hope…gasp!…We could jinx that team by watching them play you know…wuffle!
10:29 pm on September 27th, 2012
As Chet would say, it’s a good baseball night here in the Valley. Both the Nationals and the Rockies have won. Our magic number is now down to three, but those darn Braves keep winning too, keeping it too close for comfort. Wookie
10:31 pm on September 27th, 2012
Nope, I don’t dare watch the Nationals play. We want Wookie’s team to play well and win.
10:32 pm on September 27th, 2012
Atlanta!…Has to go down, down, down in a pit of fire!…wheeze!…Johnny Cash would agree with me…sniff!
10:34 pm on September 27th, 2012
I know the outcome of the Rockies game today. I wasn’t going to post it here, but Wookie just did.
10:35 pm on September 27th, 2012
Wookie!…We were on pins and needles wondering if the Rockies actually won this game, as we are just now watching it…snort!….Good to know they winnit in case we have to go to bed early because of the busy-screwed-place…grunt!
10:36 pm on September 27th, 2012
Howlers: I convinced Sasha to lay her head on my side and take a nap. She’s curled up under the quilt and snoring softly, softly.
10:40 pm on September 27th, 2012
Dawson!…I wonder how the big trip home is going for Dawson…sniff!….She’s on my pug-mind tonight for some reason….grunt!
10:44 pm on September 27th, 2012
I feel like we should be tracking Dawson’s gps and monitoring how long she stays in each checkpoint. I hope she has enough booties and snacks for her journey.
10:57 pm on September 27th, 2012
Booties!…heh!snort!heh!…Dawson does go through those booties by the dozens when she travels…snort!
11:02 pm on September 27th, 2012
Rio: I hope she doesn’t chew new dog blanket either. I don’t know if we sent extra in her drop bags.
I keep meaning to say that the song Spence posted today has long reminded me of getting into dogs.
11:13 pm on September 27th, 2012
We are hitting the hay also.
Night all

Song!…Well, we finally got to listen to Spencers’ link about the West (thats us!)…heh!…And it actually brought tears to my friends eyes. I don’t know why, maybe it is because her great grandma could yodel like that, maybe because of the lyrics, I don’t know…sniff!…Thanks Spencer for the great link….snorkel!…Goodnight ya’ all!

Wose: I volunteered to take the night shift to keep an eye out for that 18-wheeler. So far, no sign. The driver must know I’m on the job.
