Ultimate Tug!

2012-01-17T04:38:00.000-06:00

I want a clean game Sooki and Jakey!!

Watch it Sooki....no mouth nipping!!

This is your LAST warning Sooki!!

I am going to GET you Jakey!!!

Back Off Sooki, Let Jakey breathe!

Come on Jakey...Let's get the Ref!!!!

----------------------------------------------------

UPDATE: Sooki found her furr-ever home!! The family who came to look at her last Friday picked her up last night!! She now has her own human boy, and human Mama and Daddy!

HURRAH!! I mean, yay for fuurr-ever homes, in no way do we mean that we are EVER SO HAPPY so have our Mama and Daddy to ourselves again...no REALLY!!

We put in our request for a doggie with not so sharp teefies for our next foster sibling tho....just sayin' Mama

Playtime??

2012-01-16T04:52:00.000-06:00

Who wants to play???

Play with ME Dory....

Please.....

From the Mama:

Sooki is still with us for now, but we are hopeful that she will have her

furr-ever home by the end of this week!

Sssshhhhhh Don't Tell Sooki

2012-01-12T20:10:00.000-06:00

Guess What Dory....We are having company today!!

REALLY??? Awesome Jakey!!
Whose coming over??

When I was talking to Sooki I heard Mama on the square flashy, noise maker talking and saying that someone was coming to see Sooki and would maybe want to give her a furr-ever home.

Mama says we can't tell Sooki because we don't want to get her hopes up. Mama also says we will have to be upstairs so the peoples can play with Sooki and get to know her better.

WHAT??? MAMA....what do you MEAN???? People are suppose to play with ME when they come over!

From the Mama:

Poor Dory, she really gets upset when it isn't all about her.

Sooki had her first prospective furr-ever family come over to visit today. They all got along swimmingly, and I am crossing my fingers that they decide to take her home!

2012-01-11T21:33:00.000-06:00

Here I am NOT biting Sooki's foot, when all she seems to do it bitey me ALL the time!!

Introducing Her Majesty.....

2012-01-07T18:33:00.000-06:00

Miss Sookie the foster sister!

A few weeks ago, Mama told us that we were going to volunteer to be foster sister and brothers....yesterday it happened!!

Mama went bye-bye (withOUT me!) and came home with "her majesty". Whew, I didn't know that a puppy could have SO MUCH puppergy!! She is like the Puppergy Bunny!

She plays with our toys....

She is sneeky too....she is getting very good at sniggle sneeking our bones!

See!!

Jakey, is busy ignoring her...

Which is exactly why she can steal his ball!!

We are all getting used to having a puppy in the house, but Mama says the puppy breath is worth the puppy "I want my way" squeaks she can holler!! I think the rest of us will think it over...what's so good about puppy breath anyways??

We are all very happy to help her find her furr-ever home, it is so sad that so many puppies do not have furr-ever homes so one of our goals this year is to help as many of our fellow doggies

furr-ever homes as we can!

From the Mama:

Sooki can be found on Petfinder starting Monday or Tuesday. She is an adorable 10-12 week old heeler mix. She has small paws, so we are thinking she will stay under 20 pounds. She is great with all our pups, and has a big crush on Jacob, who is being so very patient with her!

She has the CUTEST ears, which twitch with her moods.

Toy Carnage....

2012-01-06T19:36:00.000-06:00

As we all know SOMEPUPPY (we won't mention JAKEY's name) likes to ummmm.......RIP APART all of our toys....

I don't know what you are talking about Bilbo!!

Then he buries all the evidence....

Silly boy....Dory is going to be mad!!

Hey Jakey, thanks for destuffing the toys. It makes it SO much better to play tug with!!
WOW...is that the

SQUEAKY you have???
You are so very talented!!

*****Sigh.......Kids!!!*******

Sickie Mama

2012-01-05T15:14:00.000-06:00

For the past couple of days this has been our scenery for most of the day, because Mama has the sickies....She says it canNOT be the flu cause she had a shot so she wouldn't get it. We think it is a pretty SMART flu that snuck by the shot.

We have been doing our job and staying RIGHT next to her.

Bilbo has been serenading her with his licky monster serenade

I have been reminding her to take her medicine. Come on Mama, WAKE UP...it's time to take your "SleepyQuil".

Jakey has been doing the most help by infusing Mama with his healy eyes!!

They have been helping too!! Mama is on the mend and hopefully will be back to normal by the weekend!!

OH and we wanted to say congrats to our Daddy!!! He won FIRST PLACE in his Fantasy Football league and got this WAY COOL trophy!! GO DADDY!!! We are hoping that his good luck will help take the Giants to the Super Bowl!!

Wordless Wednesday - Crazy Boy

2012-01-04T12:03:00.000-06:00

Oh the Horror!!!

2012-01-03T22:03:00.000-06:00

So the last time you saw us we were cute and cuddly, and yes, maybe some of us were a TAD long haired and freaky.

We celebrated Dory's birthday with treats....

We were all so very happy....

UNTIL Mama said we could ALL go bye-bye the next day....Jakey and Dory thought that was GREAT!!! Dory just LOVES bye bye, and well..JAkey just LOVES everything Dory and Mama do...

But I, Bilbo, knew something was JUST.NOT.RIGHT.

...and boy was I right, we all three went to JAIL!!! We were stuck in ~~suites~~ cells and guess what we all got CREW CUTS!!!!

Just look how big they made my HEAD!!!

Jakey was NOT happy with his crew cut either!!

Plus we were both REALLY ITCHY when we got home!

Dory was too...but she did not let Mama take very many pictures of her.

She finally forgave Mama and gave her a smile tho...Dory is pretty easy and doesn't stay mad long!

Me...I am STILL not talking to Mama!!

Dory and Jakey are sleeping off all the fun

Birthday Post or Mama FORGOT!!!

2012-01-01T22:34:00.000-06:00

Happy New Year Every Furry!!!

No...this year Mama did not forget my birthday...which is December 26th, the day after Sandy Paws Day. This year she and Daddy were home and even took me on a Birthday adventure....this year she FORGOT to post about it and just ran off to Whistful Cousin to ~~love on~~ visit with my cousin Katie.

So before we tell you about our time ~~in jail~~ on vacation, I am making Mama post my birthday adventure!

This is me looking my age (I am now 8 years old) and being mature as we begin our adventure. We are even in DADDY's new car!!

I wonder where we are going??? Could it be.....maybe????

Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh...YES!!!! My favorite place!!!

Come on Daddy, catch up to your shadow!!

I hope they have some Birthday noms in there for me!!

Come on guys....I wanna show Daddy the kitties!!!

Look Daddy LOOK!!!!

See the KITTY?!!
Daddy loves kitties too!!

Let me just smell these last peemails before we go!!

Just...one...more.....

What??? Now it's time for Daddy's Birthday place...????

Get comfy Mama we might be here awhile....

We will all be back tomorrow cause, you won't BELIEVE what Mama did to us the day AFTER my birthday!!

Katie of the Frozen Northland

2011-12-30T15:30:00.000-06:00

First, I would like to thank Dory and her Mama for letting help with her bloggy while she is ~~imprisoned~~ on vacation. I am suppose to let you all know that Dory will be back on New Year's Day!! Her Mama and Daddy will be traveling tomorrow back to Texas to ~~bail them out~~ pick them up from their lovely accommodations!

Let me tell you a little about me and my family! I am the only puppy in the family but I do have my very own kitty!! I like to play with her, and sometimes I even try to carry her around in my mouth....I let her beat me with her paws sometimes to make her feel like she is the alpha pet!

You met my Daddy yesterday...I also have a human Mama and THREE human brothers that I LOVE to play with!!

I am munching my most favorite snack EVER in this picture...

ICE CUBES!!!

It doesn't matter if it is THIRTY BELOW outside, ICE CUBES are ALWAYS in season!!

I have lots of important jobs to do!!

I keep the couches warm for the family

I keep the baby humans entertained...this is my Uncle A and my baby cousin I!!

Don't forget the most important rule when playing with baby humans; COVER YOUR EYES!!! Baby fingers just LOVE to poke doggie eyes!!!

One of my most important jobs during this trip to Nana's is to make sure that Uncle Ed does not miss his puppies.

He is a pretty needy human, but I do my best to make him feel loved!!

What do you mean Uncle Ed??? Dory won't be mad, she will be so very happy that I was here to love on you!!!

I have soooooooo liked guest blogging for Cousin Dory!!

Thank you for visiting with me, and I hope I will get to see you all (especially Uncle Ed) soon!!!

Guest Blogger - Cousin Katie

2011-12-29T11:52:00.000-06:00

While we are ~~in jail~~ on vacation for a few days while Mama and Daddy are visiting Daddys family in the cold tundra of Whistful-cousin we decided this would be a good time to let our cousin Katie be our guest blogdog until we get home!

Hi all you peoples!! My name is Katie and I am 100% labra~~dork~~dor retriever!!!

This is MY Daddy he is also Dory's Daddy's brother!

I am practicing my lapdog skills, I think I may have to call Jakey to find out just how to do that curl up on Daddy's lap thing.

I am making sure that Uncle Ed gets lots of attention so he doesn't miss Dory, Jakey and Bilbo too much!!

I will be back tomorrow too tell you a little more about me and my family!!

The Funnest Christmas EVER - Part II-Cowboy's House

2011-12-26T15:30:00.000-06:00

We opened our pressies and played and played and THEN Mama said....

"yada, yada, yada BYE BYE yada, yada GRANDMA yada COWBOY"

Well, I am all about BYE BYE and Jakey wanted to see COWBOY so we hopped in the car and Daddy drove us to the land of Kings, where Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Cowboy live!!

Over the ranches and through the cows to Uncle Cowboys house we go!!

2011-12-20T03:30:00.000-06:00

....Mama is FINALLY done with the school thingy for a few weeks and can help us say howdy to all our friends.

First and foremost, we were sooooooooooo sorry to hear about the tragedy that happened to the Pittie Pack. Mama shed lots of tears and we continue to keep the family in our prayers.

We have been doing our best to keep busy while Mama went to school. Lots of playtime....

"Say Uncle Jakey!!"

"NEVER!!!"

"OK...OK!! UNCLE....UNCLE!!"

and Naps.........

Thanks to Fred for Bilbo's new shirt!

and then before we knew it, it was time to do our Christmas Card photo shoot.....

The Three Stooges

"Jakey, you are ruining my 'serious' pose!"

"Does this dress make me look chubby???"

We hope that nobody else had to suffer through the dreaded "Holiday Outfits!!"

We hope to be by to say hi to all our friends over the next few days!

Mama is LATE!!!

2011-11-04T18:07:00.001-05:00

So, we got all dressed up for Halloween, you know we ENDURED the TORTURE. Then Mama puts us off and puts us off until finally today we are tying her to her desk chair and making her use her opposable thumbs to tell you all about it!

OK...so enough about the Mama on to the dressing up! This year I DID NOT have to dress up as a SQUIRREL!! But I did have a secret talk with the Mama about Jakey's costume....

"This year Mama??? This year??"

This year I got to be a PRINCESS!! It is my favorite costume....hardly any muss or fuss....weeeelllllll, except for that whole hat thing, but I did my best to try and shake it off!!.

Mama let me make the choice for Jakey's costume this year, "Don't worry Jakey, Maybe you will be a fierce lion!".....teehee

"I am not worried Dory, I see my Little Devil Costume from last year up there....I am sure that is what I will be!"Ooooookkkkkkkkk Jakey" teehee

"MaaaMaaaa...Why is Dory giggling at me???"

Seriously Dory?????

Seriously Mama????

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

But Jakey got the last laugh.....

"Take THAT Squirrelly Costume"

I helped him out trying make sure NOBODY ELSE would ever where that squirrelly costume AGAIN!!

For those who are newer to my bloggy, you can go here to find out why I HATE that squirrelly costume too!!

These pictures actually were taken the day BEFORE Halloween cause Mama had to go to SCHOOL on Halloween and Daddy was busy trying to keep us inside and give out the candy to the kiddles.

Strike a pose Wordless Wednesday!!

2011-10-19T09:40:00.000-05:00

Tuesday at the Movies

2011-10-18T04:45:00.000-05:00

We are keeping busy.....

2011-10-17T04:16:00.000-05:00

Mama has been WAY too busy with her school stuffles that she hasn't had any time for our bloggie or our friends!! We are trying very hard to find things to do to keep busy...

Jakey stays busy with his toys....

and "watching" football......

While I do my best to engage Mama in activities...

Look how cute I am Mama...you should take a break, how about a photo

With Mama doing the books and school thing and Daddy doing the bringing home the dog treats, toys and food thing (We love you Daddy!!) we are trying to keep busy. Lately we are having a severe tree rat problem. They are infesting our backyard and keeping us on our toes. Mama says that the squirrels like to eat the babies that our tree makes and our trees are making LOTS of babies...

Tree Babies

We think it is more like Squirrelly CRACK!!

You would not BELIEVE how NERVY those rats get when we interfere with their ~~drug use~~ snacktime!!

Sorry for the delay getting this out, but Mama, you know...the one with the thumbs and the camera, has been busy with schoolwork today and is JUST NOW getting around to helping us post this!!

We thought it would be a good idea to put all the names in the home of Tricky the squirrel

..."Just let me get Tricky out for you Mama"....

After we got Tricky out...we had Daddy pick a name....

This is the exciting part....who could it be?????

LOOK...it is a KITTY ...Cindi Lou and the Kitty Krew win a KITTY treat jar filled with kitty kat treats!!!Mama says this is I-R-O-N-I-C cause their Famous Picture Taking Mama's Bloggie Name is

Squirrel Queen.....Hmmmmmmmm...very interesting!!

We will also be sending a DOGGIE TREAT jar filled with home made DOGGIE NOMS to Tank the Hawtest (and under nourished) Squirrel Hunting Lhasa in the bloggie world for his wonderful help putting together our class!

A special Thank You to all our students we are happy to say that we are giving everyone an A+++++!!

AND a very special thank you to Mayor Frankie, Sarge and Sugar for hosting the big weekend!!!

Squirrel Chasing 101B - Indoor Squirrel Chasing

2011-09-04T12:24:00.000-05:00

Before we get started today, we wanted to answer questions asked by some of our students yesterday...

Tessa asked what to do when you catch the squirrel??

ummmmm we are not quite sure, Jakey says EAT IT!!! I say, maybe just see if it wants to play (yes, Mama is sitting right here, and says NO BLOOD!).

Madi asks if we maybe have a gourmet recipe for the squirrel once it is caught??

Once again...Mama is sitting right here...so no, because we are not allowed to shed blood (unless of course Mama is not home...and then, Maybe some squirrely sushi!).

The Kitty Krew led by Miss Cindi Lou Hoo asks

what they should do after following the squirrel up the tree and then the squirrel makes them look foolish by jumping to another tree?

Well, you are kitty kats...and I am pretty sure kitty kats sit there and look like that is what was SUPPOSE to happen...So I'm a pretty sure you are NOT doing anything wrong!!

OK....here is Prof. Jakey with today's Squirrel Chasing Class 101A, Indoor Squirrel Chasing!

Hi all you furries!!

Hey PeeWee and Norwood...is that a BALL?? Can I play....hey throw it over here...Don't let Mango get it all slimy PeeWee...

JACOB!!!!!!!!

What Bilbo??? OH....That's right...Bilbo says I can't play right now guys, gotta teach!! Catch me after class!!

So....lately we have had an indoor squirrely problem. Seems they are ALL OVER the place!!

This the infamous Tree Rat Gang.

Led by Tricky the Trecherous Tree Rat Stuffie.

Tricky has 3 accomplices,including their body guard and the biggest of them of all, Fazzy Tubbo!! He is a bit of a wino!!

They are pretty sneaky and I have been after them for a while now.

The good thing about Indoor Squirrel Hunting is that you do not have to have

P-A-T-I-E-N-C-E. You just have to .......

HEY JAKEY!!

These are not REAL SQUIRRELS!!
Indoor Squirrely hunting is SOOOOO boring!!!

Shush Up Missy Poo-Poo !!

(she HATES when I call her that...hehehehe)

I am teachin' over here.

ANYWAYS....the key to taking care of an inside squirrel infestation is to tackle the biggest rodent first...So I am going after Fazzy Tubbo!!

Oh NO FAZZY HAS DADDY'S HAND!!

I WILL SAVE YOU DADDY!!

I have you now Fazzy Tubbo....

Show NO MERCY when taking care of these sneaky stuffies....

Make them SQUEAK for mercy!!

(Note...do not make them squeak for mercy too much, or your hooman may help the stuffie escape)

Once you have tackled the biggest of them all, the rest will run for cover!!

Try to catch them if you can.... OR you can wait to they all think they are safe and then after a day or two, attach their loggie home and de-stuff them one by one!!

That's really all there is to it!! Try to involve your brothers and sisters if you have any when hunting, even IF SOME-DORY THINK IT IS BORING!!

We will once again answer any questions before we announce grades tomorrow!!

Wow you all were such GREAT students....we have had SO MUCH FUN teaching efurrybuddy. Of course you all passed with flying squirrel colors!! Feel free to grab a badge when you leave!!Make sure you stop by and visit the rest of those at the back to school bash. Go visit Sugar or Sarge to see where all the fun is today!!

Bilbo will be back tomorrow to announce the grades and to pick a winner for the cookie jar filled with treats (either Kitteh of Doggie)! If we pick a name from out of the country we will donate your cookie jar and treats to Life Long Friends (our favorite Pet Adoption Center in your name)!

Frankie, no passing love notes to Ruby and Penny!!

Benny and Lily...am I going to have to separate you two...No arguing in class.

Today's class is on outside squirrel chasing. Where we will concentrate on the art and skill of being able to chase and tree a squirrel and maybe, JUST MAYBE, one day you will catch one!!

Unfortunately, I can't help you with the catching part. We Dogkateers have never caught a squirrel,

This jumping has helped Jakey come pretty close once or twice. But they always seem to outrun us! Has anyone in the class ever caught a squirrel?? If you have, please share with the class what you have done with it.

*crickets chirping*

Well if somefurry has caught a squirrel, and hasn't stopped by yet, please let us know in the comments what you did with it.

Now, on to the good stuff!! Now who knows who the leader of the AWOS is?? Lightning, do you know?? No???? Maybe if you ask Thunder very nicely he will tell you.

Mr. Hawtness himself (doesn't he look HAWT, HAWT, HAWT in his tux...*swooooon*) has written an expert testimonial on his most favorite way to chase squirrels. I have learned everything I know from Tank and will demonstrate the key points after I read his testimonial!

Tank's Testimonial, as read by Dory:

"Dory asked me if I would share my favorite way to chase squirrels with you. I said yes because I think she's hawt. (REALLY, he SAID THAT!!! *more swooons*)

Fortified with my (meager) breakfast rations, I head down to the creek just beyond my backyard and find a nice shady spot to lie down. Then, I wait. It usually doesn't take very long to spot a squirrel. I stare at him and he stares back. His beady rodent eyes beckon me to give chase, but I hold back. I want him to feel cocky because that's when a squirrel will make mistakes. Ever so slowly, I stand up. Our eyes are still locked and I can tell he's full of bravado. I remain perfectly still lulling him into a false sense of security. Within a few more minutes, he no doubt will be mocking me. I'm patient. I wait some more. It takes years of experience to know when the time is right to commence chasing, but I can tell you this much... if the squirrel begins to throw nuts at you, you've waited too long.

I decide that it's time to make my move and spring into action going from zero to top squirrel chasing speed in seconds. The squirrel is totally shocked and shifts from cocky to distressed just as fast. Within inches of being captured, instinct kicks in and the varmint takes off running. I continue to give chase while barking things at him like "Yo rat breath, Mama's loadin' up the shotgun!"

At this point, the squirrel has lost all confidence. He's scared and thinks this might be the end of the line. He has no choice but to scamper up a tall, leafy tree in hasty retreat. Well aware this is a cowardly thing to do, his will to survive supersedes any desire he might have for a fair fight. I sit at the base of the tree for awhile looking up at him. I bark a few HBO words and let him know I'm disgusted with his wimpy behavior. He feels defeated and embarrassed.

Life is good.

Respectfully submitted,
Cmdr. Tank, OWAS, Ret. "

Isn't he the COOLEST squirrel hunter EVER!!?? I'm so glad I am not a squirrel in his domain!

If you liked his speech make sure click here (or you can click on his picture) and let him know. I'm sure he would accept any kibbles you could send(word on the street is that he doesn't get enough noms).

Now let's highlight the key points of his speech and, in my opinion, the most important things to do when chasing squirrels.

Before you choose a spot, you may want to survey your backyard and see if you can snoofle out where a squirrel may be.

1-Be P-A-T-I-E-N-T - I know that is a HORRIBLE word, but it is VERY important to LET the tree rat THINK he has the upper hand.

2-Wait for the right moment....ths might take a while, so if it is too hot outside and you have a doggie door and window that looks out into the backyard you may want to stay in the cool A/C while stalking the tree rat!

3-Then RUN LIKE THE WIND....tear out the doggie door, or from whatever spot you are lying and GET THE SQUIRREL!!!!

4-If you catch him....welllllll let us know if you catch him and we can deal with that when it happens....

5-Chances are you will chase him up a tree like Tank did (and Jakey and I do). If this is the case sit under the tree, or even better stand with your front paws against the tree and bark HBO words like Tank did and let him know what a chicken he is not to fight you face to face!!

Now...any questions??? Just ask them in the comments and I will try to get to them before class tomorrow morning!!

Now you are certified in Outside Squirrel Chasing for Beginners, here is a badge you can proudly display if you would like!

You were all pawesome students!! Yes, even you Ms. Lilac...I admire your attitude, we are so sorry you didn't have your own fan for the class...we will make sure we have it for you tomorrow!!

....Speaking of tomorrow, we will be learning how to chase squirrels inside. City furries need a way to get their frustrations out. I know I if something like THIS happened to me everyday and I had no way to let my frustrations out I would be tempted to run outside and might get hurt:

Squirrel Chasing 101 - The Syllabus

2011-09-02T02:10:00.000-05:00

Professor Bilbo here to present the syllabus for Squirrel Chasing 101.

First the Course Description:

Ummmmm you will learn how to chase squirrels...DUH MAMA.

Oooooooohhhhhh, sorry Mama. Mama says that we will be teaching this in 2 different parts.

On Saturday the class will be focused on Outside Squirrel Hunting. This is for those of you that have backyards or live in the country. This class will be taught by Miss Dory, with a special expert guest speaker who will introduce the class and tell us his expert hunting skills

Sunday we will have Indoor Squirrel Hunting. This will be taught by Professor Jacob who is an expert on Toy Squirrel Hunting.

Dory doesn't think squirrels should be hunted indoors...but Jacob wants doggies in the city to understand that it is just as fun to chase squirrels inside it will also sharpen your outside squirrel chasing skills if your humans ever get you a backyard.

Text and Materials: All you really need is the internets (to get the class), but a real and/or toy squirrel could be helpful too (plus who doesn't need an extra toy or 2 around the house!!)!

Grading: If you attend and comment on both classes you will get an A in the class and be entered TWICE for a drawing to win a Doggie Cookie Jar filled with Home Made cookies!!

If you attend and comment on one class you will get a B and be entered once to win the cookie jar mentioned above.

We will have a button for efurryone who attends to take with them when they leave

I, Bilbo, will be back on Monday to announce the grades and the winner of the Cookie Jar!

So stop by and see us, don't worry if you didn't sign up, I am sure Mama can find a desk for you!!

Thankful Thursday - Friends and KITTY KATS

2011-09-01T01:30:00.000-05:00

Before we move on to the kitties (cause I know you are all looking furward to that), I wanted to give special thanks to all these who visited last Thursday...with your comments Mama sent 25 green papers to Lifelong Friends Pet Adoption!!!

And ALSO......

don't forget about all the stuffles going on this weekend at the Labor Day/Back to School Bash!!

And now....on to the KITTEHS!!

We don't know if it is the heat, or the phase of the moon, but we have a couple of kittehs that have been coming to see us....and ONE LOOKS LIKE MADI!!! At first we thought it WAS her, but then we looked....and she is still at her bloggie!!

It looks JUST like her, well...Madi is a bit cuter, but this kitty sure did remind me of her!!

THEN...the other night Daddy was visited by ths cutie!!!

Getting a dinkie water!!!

Weekend Walkies!!

2011-08-29T04:27:00.007-05:00

First of all thanks to all my furry friends for signing up for my Squirrel 101 class. If you haven't signed up, you can still sign up by just letting me know in my comments...we will be taking roll each day! You don't have do do anything by signing up except stop by and participate(you know...like guessing an answer to questions that are asked in the class)!

Look for the Syllabus to be out Friday...on Saturday will by Squirrel Chasing for furries (INCLUDING KITTIES) who live in the country or have their own backyards. On Sunday will be class for City Furries (INCLUDING KITTIES)! There will be a final exam and Grades will be posted on Monday!!

(Watch out everyfurry...Mama has been taking TOOOO many classes and has trained me to grade TOUGH!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, this weekend was MOSTLY boring, cause Mama is back inside her books and we don't get to see her too often...I did talk her into taking me for an early "before study" walk!! I read lots of peemails...FINALLY got to finish Tank's book and even saw a squirrel AND a KITTY!!!! Let me take you with me.......

I had SOOOOO much fun!!! Mama says that we can go on walkies if the tempature is below 80 in the morning on the mornings she doesn't have Doga. But we will have to take Jakey too...bummer!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PEE ESS....our crossed paws and prayers are with all of those (human and furries) that were effected by Hurricane Irene.

Squirrel Chasing 101 - Sign Up Now!!

2011-08-26T16:09:00.001-05:00

Hey all you furries!! As you know, there is a big Labor Day BASH next weekend, where efurrybody can help celebrate the end of summer (which hopefully will mean COLDER weather for us)!! AND celebrate the beginning of another school year!!

As pack leader of the Dogkateers, I am in charge of training activities....

Thanks to my extensive training, Jakey has REALLY excelled at squirrel chasing. Because of this, Mama asked me if I would like to teach EFURRYONE about squirrel chasing....after much thought (ummmmm, like a half a second) I said OF COURSE!!

Next Saturday and Sunday I will be teaching a squirrel chasing class. I am hoping on having a very special and HAWT guest speaker, but don't want to jinxie it by mentioning his Lhasa Dali Lhama Squirrel Chasing King name. But I wouldn't be where I am in the squirrel chasing world without his careful mentoring!! I am hoping this very pretty picture of me will help persuade him to speak at less than his normal "per speech rate."

(This is a Washington DC squirrel..does anyone else's Mama take pictures of SQUIRRELS while THEY are on vacay??)

This class is open to all furries EXCEPT SQUIRREL SPIES!! We will be on the lookout for imposters...so beware!! We know that kitties also like to track those sneaky squirrels, so all kitties please feel free to join in the fun next Saturday!!

Class participation will be a big part of your grade, so let me know if you want to attend, PLUS I may need to ask the neighbor if we can borrow HIS backyard too!! Just tell me in my comments if will be stopping by!!

For more info on what other classes are going to be held, and parties that are going to be happening, go visit Sarge by clicking on his name...or clicking HERE. We are going to have a photo shoot later this afternoon so we can get our pictures out to the various parties...better hurry cause time is running out!!

PeeEss....

But we may have to have Mama take a picture or two in his "Professor Bilbo" sweater!!

PeePeeEss.....Go over and visit Tank

or Checkers

and find out how to help puppies find homes and keep them fed in Tennessee AND at the same time help Linus FINALLY get to see the Great Puppykin (or maybe Pumpkin?)

Grateful Thursday

2011-08-25T04:09:00.002-05:00

Today we are grateful for Lifelong Friends Pet Adoption Center! They are a great place that finds furrever homes for puppies and kitties that need it!

This summer has been very, very , very, VERY hot outside and they have had to spend a bunch more green papers on keeping the puppies and kitties that are staying with them. Mama is going to donate 50 cents per comment to help them to keep the puppies and kitties cool during this long string of 100+ degree days!! If your parents want to help too, they can click here and donate, or just tell your friends to come over and comment!!

This Saturday Daddy RAN a 5-KAY!!! Yay Daddy!!!!

Mama, Jakey and I went too, but we walked (something about Mama being A-L-L-E-R-G-I-C to running unless being chased).

We had a really fun time and met lots of new friends while getting lots of exercise!! Enough talk, come with us and watch!!

Even if we had to have a footie bath, it was soooooooo worth it!! We came home and did lots of this:

and this:

Bilbo spent the day lazing around. Mama says a 5-KAY is too long for him to walk all at one time, and it was too hot to carry him :-).

We hope efurrybody had a happy weekend!!

The RH Mango got an boo boo this weekend. Stop by and send him some happy thoughts if you have a minute.

Found Her Friday

2011-08-12T14:38:00.000-05:00

Mama...Mama...Get the Camera!!

What is it you two???

It's the MAMA POSSUM!!!!

Remember we saw baby possum a few weeks ago??? Hopefully now the Mama will find here baby!!

JAKEY????

I am trying to see how Mama Possum is staying up on the fence...

LOOK DORY....she has cute little toe-sies that hold on to the fence!!!!!!

Note from the Mama: Don't tell Dory, but I think this might be the same baby possum that we saw a few weeks back and now she(or he) all grown up.

Grateful Thursday!

2011-08-11T16:15:00.000-05:00

Happy Grateful Thursday Efurrybody!!!

Today we, the Dogkateers, are grateful for the Austin Dog Alliance!! They do all kind of things to help other doggies AND peoples too!! Here are some of the things they do, Mama says it is their mishun statment!

Promote the valuable role of pet therapy in our community
Implement animal assisted programs in nursing homes, hospitals and rehabilitation centers
Enhance student reading skills by utilizing Bow Wow Reading Dog pet therapy teams at schools and libraries
Provide a variety of fun and educational programs designed to build self-esteem and teach children to love and respect dogs
Provide programs for children and their families who are affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder and other special learning needs
Provide professional and positive dog training classes
Carefully place rescued dogs into forever homes

The most important thing that we are grateful for besides all that stuff up there is that they had a fundraiser at this place.....where Jakey and I got to go and meet new friends and I got to do AGILITIES!!!

Here are Me and Jakey headed out...YAY for bye-bye!!!

We met some VERY big gentle giants like these two beauties.....

Jakey made friends with this pretty girl, a GSD just like Anna!!!

..and we met a puppy that looks just like Teddy Bear and Sierra

and this is Moby a most beautiful Labradoodle!! Moby has a nose JUST LIKE JACOB...but his is lots smaller. That is because Jakey is part poodle like Moby and part Lhasa like me!!

But the most fun OF ALL was.....

I got to do AGILITIES for the very first time!!!

It was a little bit scary at first....

Daddy gets kisses for keeping me safe!!

The tunnel was a little scary but after a few treats....

TA-DA Easy Peasy!!!! I am a pro at it...Mama says it is amazing what a few cookies do for my courage!!

We had a great time!! Jacob didn't so much want to do agilities with me. Mostly because he is shy, but he had fun making friends! Thank you to the Zoom Room and Austin Dog Alliance for hosting this FUN party!!!

Before we left we wanted to wish our friend Sugar a very Happy Barkday (it was yesterday). Mama did NOT write it in the bloggie book and forgot to post our Birthday Smileys for her....so here they are today...

Happy Birthday Sugar!!!

Beware...this movie is not for those who get woozy at the sight of water.....

For those who just rather pretend it was a pleasant experience for us....here is a serene view of our

EVIL SPA!!!

Grateful Thursday!

2011-08-04T13:35:00.000-05:00

Mama says that today I get to tell evfurrybody what I am grateful for.

I, more than anything else, am grateful for FUZZY BLANKETS AND NAPS!! This is my favorite fuzzy blanket and nap place...on the big bed where I can nap with the mama

I also like to nap NEXT to the Mama on the couch...even if she wraps me up to look like a silly UT Longhorn Fan!!

I love the feel of the fuzzies on my snooter!

I will even snuggle with my silly brother on as long as there is a fuzzy blanket...

If there are no fuzzy blankets, I will settle for my bed....it is ALMOST as comfy....

...and big enough for me to stretch out in...

BUT

Naps on Fuzzy Blankets are the BESTEST!!

Lately Mama has been using a bad 5 letter word called STUDY.

When we want to play...Mama says...not now I have to STUDY.

What about a walk Mama?? Nooooooooo it's......"not now sweety, I have to STUDY."

She even brings her 'puter DOWNSTAIRS to study!!!!

Let us know when the finals are over Mama so life can get back to normal!!

Note from Mama: Finals and final paper due this week and then 3 weeks off to spend with puppies!!

Grateful Thursday...

2011-07-28T03:36:00.001-05:00

Today I am grateful for....

Lazy squirrel chases....where we can both just keep an eye on each other without
actually moving....

and

Comfy Chairs to sleep in!!!

Every Thursday one of the Dogkateers are going to find something that we can be thankful for!

A New Friend and the Award!!

2011-07-26T04:25:00.007-05:00

"Guess What Daddy, Guess What!!!!??"

"What is it Dory??"

I got a NEW FRIEND AND AN AWARD!!!

"That is ever so awesome little girl, why don't you tell everybody about it!"

My new friend Bowie passed along the Versatile Blogger Award to us. Thanks Bowie!! So we of course, have silly rules....and we will try to follow most of them. OK...I am suppose to tell you 7 things about my Mama and Daddy....I am going to tell you 2 things about Mama, 2 things about Daddy...and 1 thing about me....1 thing about Jakey and 1 thing about Bilbo....

About the Mama....

1. She is now a full time college student. She is not quite sure what she wants to do when she grows up, but right now it looks like maybe a college History teacher.

2. Mama, like Stella, is on a diet....she has lost over 20 pounds so far..and is hoping to lose another 20 before she turns the big 5-0.

About the Daddy...

1. Daddy like to teach humans how to SCUBA dive (like swim with fishies UNDERWATER). HE does this in his spare time when he is not at the place that pays him to buy dog food, treats, greenies and toys!

2. Daddy also was on a diet...He lost over 50 pounds and now has lots more energy to play with ME!!

About US!

I, Dory, still spend most of my day in front of the backyard door or in the backyard protecting the family from sneaky squirrels!!

Mr. Jakey, LOVES TOYS...any kind of toy, he is ALWAYS stealing any toy I have!!

Mr. Bilbo went to the vet last Friday and got mostly a clean bill of health, but now he is taking happy pills once a day to help him NOT be so stressed!!

So there it is....if you have not received this award yet....please feel free to grab it!!

Have a Happy Tuesday!!

Visitors in My Backyard

2011-07-25T04:02:00.000-05:00

So, pretty much everyone knows that this is my backyard right?? Every one pretty much ALSO knows how hot it is outside right?? Maybe it's the heat that has turned every thing topsy turvy!

This isn't too crazy....we do have flowers. Those Creepy Mirtles flower even when it is like a million degrees outside!!

Then, of course, there are those sleepy squirrels....but guess what?????

They are getting NERVIER AND NERVIER!!!
"We told you NOT to come down Mr. Squirrelly!"

...and now look at this silly looking squirrel!! Mama says it is a baby P-O-S-S-U-M.

"We haven't seen her Baby, but if we do we will tell her which way you went!"

...and no summer day is complete in my backyard until...

We see Jakey's floppy ears!!!

Hope every puppy has a Happy Monday and stays cool!!

Thursday at the Movies with Bilbo

2011-07-21T03:30:00.007-05:00

I cannot believe that Daddy Came home WITHOUT the Mama!! Click here to go see my movie on You Tube.

Note from Dory:

Just so you don't worry about her...the Mama was JUSSST at school...Bilbo just DOESN'T know what to do when Daddy comes home first!!

But Miss Dory...us boys miss the Mama when she is not home!!

I'll stick with you Bilbo!!

Just don't come down from that tree or the truce is off!!

The Silly Things Boys Do

2011-07-14T04:10:00.004-05:00

Mr. Jakey Jake usually buries his ball in the blankey and then tries to find it like in these pictures.

In the movie, Mama hid the ball in the blankie hoping that Jakey would find it for the camera....instead, he took the blankie and hid it behind the chair.

Boys are VERY silly.....

Shopping with Mama

2011-07-12T05:00:00.001-05:00

So, when we left you yesterday, our cubbard was nearly bare. ..Well guess what?? Mama said I could go with her the treat store!!!!! Just ME AND MAMA!!!

No Jakey.....

and NO Bilbo...(OK, so Bilbo wouldn't go anyway)

Just me and the Mama!! We took a ride in DADDY's car, cause Daddy had our White Dog-terra.

After like a million hours (or maybe 5 minutes) we finally got there...

AWOO ROO!!!

Mama, hurrry..I think they have kittehs in there!!

...I knew it...they had lots of kittehs...Mama let me say hi to these two.

Aren't they adorable??!!

Anyway...Mama said we had to leave the kitties, and get our goodies and head back home to my silly brothers.

We even went through the Mama goodie drive thru too, so Mama could have goodies!

Look at all our loot!!

YAY GOODIES!!!!

Jacob got a new ball to chew and play with!!

"Throw it Mama, throw it!!"

I gots a new bone to chew on (and covet)!!

Bilbo got one too!!

Thanks Mama...

Now can you tell those brothers to STAY AWAY from my bone!!!!

The Cubbard is Almost Bare!!

2011-07-11T05:16:00.008-05:00

If you visited Madi's blog on Saturday, you saw that she did a pantry inspection to make sure her Mama was doing a good job keeping her kibble stocked. We decided that maybe we should do the same thing...You gotta keep those Mamas in line.

You will be SHOCKED to see what we found....

Look how low we are on food....there is only about 1/2 a bag left. What if a hurricane hit in the middle of the night Mama....or what if we get really, REALLY hungry. Do you really think this would hold us over???

Just LOOK how low we are on cookies!!

What an outrage!! Mama has really been slacking off, all that bath stuff that we don't need, but hardly ANY cookie!!

But that's not all, you really won't believe this......

OUT OF GREENIES!!!!!

Ohhhhh...the Agony!!!!

Stay tuned......

Daddy Gives Us a Haircut

2011-07-08T05:05:00.020-05:00

As some of you might have seen on Wednesday Daddy was sneaky and gave me a haircut!!

BAD Furtaking machine!!!

*raaassssbbbbeeeerrrryyy*

Daddy is at least better than Mama...Mama gives me owies sometimes but Daddy

is very careful and loving. This is the first time he has been my stylist.

No Daddy, I am NOT going to look at the camera. You are good, but this is still

NOT fun!!

Not Bad Daddy!!

Oh Jacob....Jacob, where are you???

Sssshhhhh Mama....

Do you think he'll find me under here???

Mama, don't let him take my furs!!!

*sigh*...Thanks for nothin' Mama!!

Whatcha got there Daddy, are we almost done....??

All Done!!! That wasn't toooooo bad.

Hey Dory....Who told Daddy to give us haircuts and WHY didn't Bilbo get one??

Daddy's Little Girl

Tuesday with the Boys....

2011-07-05T05:21:00.002-05:00

This is a story about a boy and his ball....

Once upon a time there was a boy puppy...and his ball. This puppy L-O-V-E-D his ball and wouldn't even let his favorite sister play with it.

"This is MY ball Miss Sister Dory I am allowed to have ONE toy that

you CANNOT play with!!"

The boy pup layed down on the grass and started

chewing on his ball....

and chewed......

and chewed some more

"What was that??? Dory....don't you come near my ball!!"

"Ah ha....she is so afraid, she isn't even going to TRY to

take this ball!!"

...and the boy pup just basked in the sun, knowing that the ball would be forever his.

So the moral of the story is never let sisters get close to your toys!!!

Keep on telling yourselves that boys....keep on telling yourselves that...

Happy Vampire Puppy/Kitty Friday!!!

Today we are celebrating our friend Frankie Furter!

Frankie is always reminding us about things going on with our friends, and lets us know if a puppy may need some help! Reading Frankie's Bloggie is how we heard about poor Shelby.

Frankie recently got married...and we had to miss the wedding cause of MAMA and her silly BREAK thing!

Congratulations to Frankie and his beautiful brides Ruby and Penny!!

This week Mama will be donating her 10 green papers to the Dachshund Rescue of North America in Frankie's name.

Hope Efurryone has a pawesome weekend!!!

Mama says there is a kitty out here Dory, where could it be???

Maybe over here in the flowerpot Jacob???

Doesn't look like it...He isn't on top of the hose either...hmmmmm

Maybe he is over here in the tree...what do you think Dory??

I don't smell anything....

Or SEE anything either!!

You know what I think Jacob...I think Mama is pulling our paw...Let's GET HER!!!

Just because we saw a kitty out here last night she thinks that we will fall for the old fake kitty alert...

Mamas sure can be silly!!
