     How do that many barges break free all at the same time ?!?

Awwww Flashy     We're knot gunna kick you out. 

There's Charlie et Al      Is that a 'Simon Says' kinda game?

Pap is still knot home.  They can't get his bluds exactly rite.  I'll drop him off some clean undies in the morning.   

Small Whirled.....Widget's kidlet's Mom works in the ER and it seems she was one of Pap's nurses on Thursday.  But she didn't know who he was.  Guess 'Widget' didn't come up in conversation 

 

[Potomacpupsmom]

I AM HOME!               We had a nice time at Miss Nichole's house and Miss Nichole told Momma and Daddy that I did a lot ob zoomies whilst I wuz there.  Plusalso, I lubs her husman Mr Gary and lubs to be petted by him.     Miss Nichole habs all the houndies in the house (6)  sleep in crates at night.   I am OK wif that but Cherry is KNOT!  She chewed up my faborite blankie (Miss Nichole thot it wuz hers and put it in her crate) plusalso she chewed on a crate pad too.   So Miss Nichole put Cherry's muzzle on at night and then she stopped chewing ob course. 

When Momma and Daddy came to the door we were SOOOOOOO eggsited!   Cherry wuld knot leabe Momma's side and I wuz running back and forf and coming to Momma and Daddy for snuggles.   I lubs my Momma and Daddy!  (and so does Cherry)

Wow, I came back to a noo Club and yummy snax!  Thank you Miss Chris and Miss Jen!

Charlie, Momma wuz swooning ober the pikkie wif you and Zorro del Galgo and Samba!

Miss R.E. Carol, I am sorry about the leetle battie.    

Wiki, Cherry does that to Momma too!  No privacy!    That pikkie ob you laying down and looking at the camera is beautimous!

Momma posted our pikkies on FB ob our homecoming.   We did KNOT want to pose for pikkies at Miss Nichole's house, we just wanted to get in the car:

  

 

So we looked at the camera after we got home:

  

Either way, we are glad to be home wif Momma and Daddy!

Ivy  

[ScootersMom]

  Hello, Everybody and Everyhoundie!

I am finally all caught up on reading posts.  So many adventures and happenings.  Thanks for the new club, AndiPants.  Also thanks to Miss Jenn for the yummy snax!

I have been attacked by the Sleepy Blue Meanies.  This happens occasionally and then goes away.  They make me take naps in the morning and in the afternoon, then make me go to bed early.  I'm not very good company when they're here.  

I'm glad Pap got a room, and Miss Kerry found Unca Nik, and Miss Kathy and Misser Jim are home with their girls.  Wishing Miss RE Carol will find the little battie.  Charlie and Zorro, your visitor is a very big boi!  Miss Chris has plantings to do.  I'm thinking of putting out some tomato plants in containers this year.  We'll see.  

The weather was nice today, in the low 80s.  That's record-breaking for this time of year.  I think I'll have a little supper and watch The Weakest Link (it's still not the same without Anne Robinson), then go to bed.  

Have a good evening!

 

[greysmom]

Miss Noo Carol we   those Bloo Meanies are done with you!! 

That's all from here for today my Friendlies!!

Kibble kisses and Buddy Bisket dreams!!

NITEY NITE!!

[Potomacpupsmom]

 Good morning!

It’s cool outside wif the temprachur at 44 degrees.  Then later today it’s going to go up to the high sebendylebens! 
 

Miss Noo Carol, I hope those Sleepy Bloo Meanies go away riteawayquik!

I am eggsited to go on Wiki Walkies today to see and sniff whot habs been going on since we were away!

Ivy the eggsplorer 

[Mercsmom]

Oh boy!   Houndie pictures galore!      First Wiki, then Andi, then Wiki, then Charlie, Zorro and Samba, and then Ivy and Cherry.    Be still my heart!!

Lupin what  a trying couple of days you've had.  Please feel good that you've made your momma's difficult days easier.

Wiki, Jupe comes into the bathroom every morning, plonks his head in my lap and waits for ear rubbies and neck rubbies.  If I forget and shut the door with him on the wrong side of it, he whines and whines whines and whines and whines and ....

[BatterseaBrindl]

Rainy rains  

Supposed to be heavy rain later this morning.  I’m off to take Pap some clean undies before it starts and whist there may be parking nearby

 

[palmettobug]

Gud Sunny Sunnyday! We like to follow Mom to da toilet, too, especially when itz time to go walkies!

[LBass]

Ivy and Cherry are home! 

Wiki, Mistress set up a photo ambush?  Clever ob her!  I'm glad she likes her new projects.
Now this is how I look when I'm afeered my Mistress is gonna go off and do sumthin without me.    Wif a look like that directed at her, surly she would knot dare!

Lupin, what an exhausting, confusing mess Mister NIcks return journey was for you and Miss Kerry.

Miss RE Carol, we loved you Chrispmix card butt Ma was too dense to realize that it was you lino-cut werk we were seeing. You are wonderfully creative and artistic!
Zavvi likes to kick poo?  Sounds like his aim is pretty good too.   Miss RE Carol is gonna have to learn where to stand and where knot to stand.

Charlie Bear, I play that same werd + treato game wif Ma!  I lub it, though I can't watch anyone else to get a clue what to do. I'm on my own to figure it out. I feel so cheated.  What a great photo ob you and Zorro and Samba!

Flashy, IMO you may need therapy butt you will ALWAYS be part ob the Club!  Frew fick and fin and weird food preferences is owr motto!

Best wishes for Pap's blood to get sorted out so he can come home.  Neato about Widget's kidlet's Mom being one ob his nurses!

Miss Noo Carol, I fink naps in the morning and afternoon and early to bed sounds kinda normal for houndies.   I hope you are feeling all better soon and those Blue Meanies let go ob you.

Alla Ma's other houndies came into the baffroom for pets and attention butt knot me.  I only go in there when I wanna curl up around the commode during a thunder storm.  Ma does knot know why.  I'm kinda weird about what room I'll enter.  The kitchen sees me only when I'm on a leash and Ma's taking me to the car.

Nate

[queenwinniesmom]

Well, is knot raynin---yet!  Dad sed it wuz sposed to rayne hebby today, but the sun is owt now.  Mom hadda take Harper fer a walk cawse she wood knot pee inna yard.  She did pee inna yard when she got Mom up at 3:45 this mornin!  Ja, ja, same thyme I got Dad up.

Hello my Friendlies!!

Lots a sunnings rite now, but it mite get a little partly cloudings later on today.  Tamarrow we'll have showerings and be lots cooler.    But then we're back to sunnings and mid-70lebendees!!!   

Miss Ivy did you and Miss Cherry get all cotted up with the nayberhood news???    

I do NOT follow Momma into the baffroom.    I follow her every place else tho.    Essept upstairs.

Mam we hope you founded a parking spot for Mister Pap's undies.    

Mister Nate (and Mister Charlie) Momma makes me s-i-t to get treatos a LOT!!     So now I just kinda do it alla the time when I want one.  Boff the docters where I was giving my bluds thotted I was "so cute" (  ) cause I was sitting for my chikken jerkies!!!    Hoomins are so easy to please!!!     Oh Mister Nate we thotted you weren't hugging the toilet during thunners boomers anymore!!!   

Hahahaha!!!!  Miss Nutmeg!!!  How big can the poops be from such a teeny tiny itty bitty little doggo like Mister Zavvi?????    I mean, it would be like kicking a PEA around the yard!!!    

Miss Lizabeth, I got some more pichers too, but no houndies this time.  I hope you like em anyways!!   

Momma gotted alla the begetables planted yesserday.  Here's the tommytoes we are doing this year.  Momma is gonna plant some pea seeds around the edges of the tommytoe pots today.

And for everybody who didn't know, here's Miss RE Carol's Chrispmix card that she maded with her very own hands in her lino cutting class!!!
image0 by Chris Harper, on Flickr

I think Momma's gonna plant some seedings and try and clean up the pots on the dekk today.  Yesserday she was all essited cause there was a little nutjobhatch looking at the birdhouse in one of the pots, so she cleaned that one up and moved it where it's sposed to go so she won't hafta move it again if they make their nesting there again.  We used to have a pair of em that nested on our dekk for many years, but then some stoopid crows got into the house and killed alla the babies d-e-d (and eated em  ) and they never comed back the next year.  We hope they decide it's safe again cause Momma liked watching em come and go and hophophop around.

Wishings for a saintly Sunnyday for all my Friendlies!!

BYE-EEE!!!

Feel better Miss Nancy and Mister Doug.   I hope those escaped barges don't barge into any ob the bridges in their paff.

AndiPants, I hab knot been hugging the potty for storms.  I seemed better about them toward the end ob last storm season and Ma hopes it will hold as we head into summer thunderstorm weather. Butt now I don't go into the baffroom for anything.
I hab to "down" for alla my treats or sometimes I hab to come to whereeber Ma is hiding when she calls me.  We werked on sit for a while to see if I liked it butt I really don't seem to enjoy that position.  I don't eber do it on my own.  I like down though and do that often all by myownself as well as when Ma suggests that I might do it.

Ma's kinda forgotten what she ordered except for 1 Cherokee Purple tomato plant, butt she's gotta go pick up a bunch a plants--mostly flowers--from a nursery here.  This nursery grows for the Proven Winner company.  Proven Winners generally hab nice plants but expensive.  Ma will save a bit ob money by going to pick 'em up herself.    Locals get to preorder plants, which helps the nursery decide how many plants to plant.

Lucy, Carol Ann is at Disney’s Animal Kingdom today. That reminded me of your trip. When are you going? 

[Potomacpupsmom]

I habs beeeg noos!   Momma and Daddy habs decided that it wuld knot be gud for him to fly away again for the weekend so they are staying close to home and we are going to GiG!    I will get to meet Lacey and Flashy!    We always just dribe up each day so we will be there on Friday and then maybe part ob Sattiday too.  I am glad I do knot habs to be sat upon again so soon!

Ivy    

[ScootersMom]

  Little Ivy Prettyears is going to GIG!!  I think everyone will enjoy that very much.  

Hope Miss Carol Ann is having fun at Animal Kingdom.  

[BatterseaBrindl]

It has finally stopped raining. For now.   

We're back to riding in the indoor arena again.  Everything outdoors in flooded.

Oh! Ivy & Cherry are going to GIG     That sounds much better than going back to the situpon house.

Hope Nancy & Doug are feeling better tonight.

Sid does not sit.  Kibo will if it involves food.  Joshi sits all the time.  She also 'sits pretty'  aka Flat on her bum with her front foot raised up. 

I scored a good parking spot in the underground lot and got Pap's undies and shaving gear delivered just fine.  I think he will be staying there a cuppla more days.  He has a 93 year old lady for a roommate!   This morning they hooked up an IV to try a different med     They just can't seem to get his INR low enough.  

[macoduck]

Oh boy! Flashy will get to sniff Cherry and Ivy!

Anyone catch the big mistake in the opening minutes of Call the Midwife tonight?

[MerlinsMum]

Mam, we're sorry to hear dat da bringing down Pap's lNR lebbels has been unsuccessful thus far  We'll keep our paws and fingers crosst dat dey can figger out da rite medicamaashin dat halps soonest  

Wiki, Mummy says she doesn't no iffn she cood ebber leeb da house iffn she liffed wiff yoo and yoo gabe her dat look. I fink she wood haff to gib up her werkjob too, and den dare wood be no monies fur fud, and den yoo wood starb. So fank yur lucky stars dat yu liff wiff yur Mistress  

Welcome back Miss Kathy and Misser Jim! Hi Ivy and Cherry  Oh! Yoo'll be going to GIG after all! 

Flashy, it's prolly fine knot to like peenit butter. I meen... yu're weerd, but den I am a houndie hoo can't roach  so, yoo no, we all haff our little idiot - idiom-  idiostink-  quirks.

Mummy is trying to kill me d-e-d. We wented to da beech, and along a trail to anudder litehouss, and den dis afternoon mummy put in a turd try at da feelds. Da furst two attempts ended in her bawling her eyeballs out because Misser Pippin is eberyware dare - dey used to go dare togedder seberal times a week and had a little unposken rootine dey always followed. Pippin wood pee and poo and den mummy wood frow a treato in da air and he wood jomp and cotch it, and den he'd set off runnink like da wind, butt only until he reeched a spassific boosh, where he waited fur mummy to cotch up.  Mummy is determined to obercome the dred she feels dare from his absence, because it is a nice place and around de corner frum us, it wood be a shame KNOT to go again. So she deecide to try again, and picked a loop she hardly ebber did wiff Pippin, and it woz ok! She try to focus on me and sang sum songs, and den by the end she werried the loop woz too much fur me. I woz bery tired. Prolly KNOT such a great ideer after I did seberal steep steps frum da raised trail to de beech earlier (and did dem like a champ, by day way, or so I'm told   )

Diss Breakwater Light - SpringPoint Ledge - wiff me noggin' in da way 

Dis me at Fort Williams Park yesserday

Dis me eggsited to go on anudder adbenchur

It's apposed to be nice again tomorrow. 

We're going to try to go to bed erly. Mummy juss finitshed a kewl and gripping book about de discubbery ob Ernest Shackleton's Endurance in da Weddell Sea (Antarctica) in 2022.   Mummy is a nerd about dis stuff. Da ship was lost to da ice in 1914 and sank. An incredible story ob survival ensued. Anyhoo, so now she haffs to decide wot she's reeding neggst. 

Miss Chris mummy is in awe of all da werk yoo do in de garden ebery yeer to get veggimals. Yoo too Miss Lucy! She witches she did dat too, butt she duzn't no de furst fink about it and it feels intimidaratink.

Lupin

[greysmom]

Miss Ivy I think that's a mucho much more betterer plan for alla you to go to the GIG instead! 

Mister Lupin you sure been having a lotta adventures!!  I think I am jeluss!!  Momma says she can talk Miss Kerry throo putting some herbals in pots if she wants.  It's  totally easy to do, and, like, she could have some herbals for tea or shjujjing up her toefoos, or sprinkling some parsleys on her foods to make em looks nice!  Easy peazy!!! 

Mister Nate, this was the first year in a long time we dont gots a purkle tommytoe in the garden. They just ain't been getting ripe good for us.  Momma picked out more fresh eating ones, and ones for tomato saws and salsa.  Momma thinks that will be more betterer.  And she did plant peas in with em too!

Plus also, I been getting to play with the floor pole every day!   :D 

That's all from here for today my Friendlies!!

Kibble kisses and Buddy Bisket dreams!!

NITEY NITE!!
