What A Day! WOOF!

Well furst thing today, growlmy sees that I am a DDP! Cool!
And shared with Zaidie, DFB, and almost here Winkie!
Its great to be in the spotfurlight with so many great pups...My inbox was overflowing with messages, prezzies, and comments!
And Cooper and his gang made me a nice pic, too.

Thanks to all of you!

We had some snow and the roads were quite slippery here today, early, so I didn't get a walk in early. Growlmy went to her physio, and upon her return she still didn't take me out...shucks Growlmy why not? She said she could see snow on that back road, and she was getting a migraine too...sometimes when there is a big storm coming she gets those:( Bummer!
Well she got busy after her meds kicked in, making pics for some of the furs here that were in need of them fur their honors!
And I sent her on a mission to find a new bed fur Zaidie, because his had been insulted by that washing machine in his den...BOL!Then I sent him and DFB some MEATZ™...cause they were hungry...
And I had to chow down on my steaks that came into my giftbox/larder!

I got some extra treats, too, YUM!

And growlmy dropped some yummy chicken at supper, so I was a good boy and cleaned it up fur her...

And I chased some naughty trespassing squirrel dudes in our yard, and barked at those pesky deer.

Now I am resting, because tomorrow I will have to help the pawrents dig themselves out from under this dump of snow we are getting now, and through tomorrow. I heard growlmy say we might get 10 or more inches...OH no! That means no walk again tomorrow:(

And now I am worried that boss-boy as well as unfurbro might not be able to come home fur the weekend...if this snow stops in time, though, those roads may get cleared out enough for pawppy to make the trip to fetch them...I hope so!

Have a great evening pup pals, and stay warm and cozy!
Woofs!

Bins, Green, Blue, and Snow!

There are bins around here that peeps throw their stuff in to be picked up for recycling...but if growlmy did that with my pics then she would not be able to retrieve them like she had to do today! Recycling in Dogsterland is sort of the same and sort of different, BOL!
Well pawppy has not had a chance to take this confuser apart, so growlmy can't post new pics...well, that's not so bad from my point of view, BOL!

So now my page is all decked out in green!
But what will my boss-boy and unfurbro say when they come home this Friday night...they much prefer 'Go Blue!' BOL! Well, shamrocks do not seem to grow in that color, so green it will be...and a good thing, too because I heard the weatherman dude say that we are going to get a big dump of snow tomorrow night.
UGH! Old man winter is not done with us yet,and he wants us to be all white instead of green...well, I know that some pups and peeps may like it, but none of them live here!

Woofs!

OMD! A Valentine fur ME!

Growlmy has been so uber busy with those kitties that I have to live with...she said it was not only Valentine's Day, but their Gotcha Day, too...whatevfur growlmy...I live here, too, I can't help it if my gotcha day is in June...

So when growlmy finally listened to me to come here on Dogster...well, I got a spawsial request from an older gal pup to be her Valentine!
Well, older but not by much, cause in a few short months I shall be the same age as her, BOL! Then we will be equal for about 5 months...so older...well I shall let you be the judge...

This pretty gal has a sparkle in her eye, and a wonderfur sense of humor. She knows all about kitties, too. I think she has to put up with more of them than I do...and she has a doggy sisfur, too. Hmmm, I am an only pup...

Well I know that you are all drooling with suspense about who my own spawsial Valentine is...
She is the most lovely and sweet and smart pup any boy doggy could want...that must be why she asked me...BOL!!
OK, then its CEELEY!!

And now I have to go and pay her a visit...with a Valentine rose and a sparkly collar to match that sparkle in her eyes...Bye!
BAYL!!

The (Not Too) Secretive Life Of Sir Lick-a-Lot!

OK...Now that that got all of you pupses attentions...here is me telling some answers to these Twenty Questions that some of you have already enlarged upon...

Here I go, then...

A Lot of junk being divulged here in the disguise of 20 Questions with my personal life in the answers...


1. WHAT COLOR COLLAR ARE YOU WEARING?

I wear a blue one about 99% of the time...the rest of the time I have a few 'seasonal' ones. like for Christmas, Valentine's Day, Halloween and so on...A long time ago I had a red one, but I outgrew it!

2. DOES YOUR LEASH MATCH YOUR COLLAR?

No, I have a black leash and my Flexi-leash is black, too.

3. WHAT’S WORSE? An EVIL NEMESIS SQUIRREL bouncing around in the trees or across the fence, a Crow strutting around in your yard or Neighbor People outside talking?

Sheesh, you are asking a reactive pup what is worse? I bark with my hackles for all of those...I run like the wind to get rid of crows that trespass, I bark and growl my insults to any peep that comes near, be it familiar neighbors or strangers, but worse for the strangers that I can see in the neighbor's driveway.
But those squirrel dudes are the evilest of all, I have to admit, they are so bad they come back to tease me over and over...I HATE those red ones that live in the hollow tree behind our shed, GRRR!

4. DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE SNACK?

Anything that passes as edible, BOL! I would think that I love licking the yogurt containers the best...and after that the scrambled egg bowls. DROOL!

5. WHERE WAS YOUR LAST CAR RIDE?

So long ago...I do not like them...the last ride was coming home from being in Canada, in November 2011...believe it or not!

6. DO YOU STICK YOUR HEAD OUT THE WINDOW ON CAR RIDES?

No, I am not allowed, and I have to sit in a harness, too. Sometimes growlmy will crack the window so I can get a whiff of the passing scents.

7. DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE TOY?

I love all toys that squeak, but the soft stuffy ones are the best...until I de-squeak them...But growlmy says that my fave toy is a non-toy...my kittybrofur, Minko, BOL! I just wish he would curl up with me the way my Toki-cat used to do...OMC I miss him and his big warm soft furs...

8. DO YOU HAVE A BOYFURIEND OR GIRLFURIEND?

No I don't actually, though I do have a lot of furends from both types...
Hmmm, I have no idea why no one asked me to be their Valentine...though I did get a few cards in the snail mail and some dogster gifties with Valentine messages...
Sheesh, my kitty brofurs have Valentine gals...should I be jealous?

9. DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE WALK?

I really enjoy going on my 2 mile stroll around the back way here...but its fun when growlmy takes me on a different walk, too.
My stroll is fun, because I can meet my doggy neighbors, and woof/walk with some of them...and sometimes I meet peeps who give me a doggy treat, with growlmy's permission...

10. DO YOU GO TO DOG PARKS?

Not really anymore. I used to go to the dog park at my grand-growlmy's pawlace, but now I do not go there anymore.
I have been to a few others, but if there are too many big doggies there I feel intimidated and I 'freak out'...so then I have to leave...My yard is an acre totally fenced, and if there is another pup or two in there with me it is almost like being in a doggy park:)

11. WHERE DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?

On one of the doggy nests(beds), on the loveseat, near the front door.I have a dog house in the dining room, too, sometimes I go in there too.
(When the sun is out, I like to find a nice sun puddle to relax in...but of course that would not be at night, BOL!)

12. DO YOU SNORE?

Growlmy says that she has heard me once in a while, but not furry often. Kitty brofur minko snores a lot more, and louder, too, BOL!

13. DO YOU SLEEP UNDER THE COVERS?

I am not allowed to go in or on me peeps bed, evfur! Though I have snuck on the beds they use when visiting other homes, BOL!

14. DO YOU HAVE TO WEAR CLOTHES?

Yes, but not because I want to...I try to hide from those coats that growlmy gets out of the closet when she wants to out with me on a cold day...the only other time I wear clothes is for picture sessions...GRR!

When I have to wait for growlmy to finish getting ready when I have a coat on, I hang my head and tail...and woe is me, on those days when I have to wear layers...OMD!

15. ARE YOU THE FAVORITE DOG?

I am the first doggy that has evfur been in my furmily...that makes me the fave, right?!

16. WHERE IS YOUR FAVORITE SPOT TO SLEEP IN THE HOUSE?

Under the dining room table when the peeps are eating, or in a sun puddle, or in the doggy bed in the back porch on a sunny day. It gets so nice and toasty on my back, with the big windows, there.

17. WHAT’S THE BEST HUMAN FOOD YOU’VE EVER BEEN FED?


That's a hard one...I love all non-dog items...but I guess it has to be cooked squash and mashed potatoes...oh and scrambled eggs, and cheese...and...sorry, I can't make up my mind... BOL!

18. DO YOU GO TO A DOG GROOMER?

Nope! Nevfur!! Growlmy's Groovy Grimestopper
is the counter in our bathroom, and the bathtub that hides behind the curtain...that is where that kind of torture takes place here...

19. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF BATHS?

Noooooooooooooooooooo. Help!!! GRRR!

20. WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU ARE BORED?

Lie down near growlmy or pawppy and whine and whine until they pay me attention, or growlmy asks me to jump on her lap...which lasts about 30 seconds till I want to get off...and start whining again, so that somebody will scratch my chin or my ears...or best yet, pawlay with me!
Or I will go and search for Minko...
Or I will lick my paws...or dig in the carpet...Oh, oh! That makes growlmy annoyed...


There! Now you all know what goes on here most of the time, behind the doors and walls of my den!

Woofs!

And I wish all of you a furry Happy Valentine's Day!

♥♥♥

Icky - Yucky - BLECH!

The other day when I was coming back from my tromp through the snow, growlmy and I saw a bunch of crows on the front part of our yard, just outside of the fence...

Earlier that morning I had been barking my head off at the neighbors' toy tunnel, that the wind had blown across the street into the brush...so now the wind had brought it back to the other side, my side!
Well I was more interested in that tunnel than those silly crows...so growlmy didn't pay them any more attention...but I paid a pee-pee to that tunnel, because it smelled like Tye, BOL!
And I no longer needed to growl or bark at it because now I knew what it was...and it was made mine ...
Well, then I surged forward, and growlmy thought I was rushing to get in the gate to take my coat and harness off, but nope!

I made a lunge for...

A bunny!

:( It was a dead one, and the crows had been having lunch...ICK! YUCK! BLECH!
Well, that is what growlmy said, and she refused to let me get my schnooter near it! Sheesh!
Fresh rabbit might have tasted good after my wintry walk...

All growlmy could think of was how to clean it up, so that I wouldn't have at it, or some other roaming dog...

Well, that's enough of that!

Have a good week, Pups!

Furry Clever Wisdom

Growlmy had this sent to her today. Its so clever she wantd to share it with evfurryone! Too good to keep to herself and us, you know...Good things are just meant to be shared!
If you already read it over in Catsterland, bear with me...this does pertain to all of us, no matter our type of pets...and in our den we have both...so that gives us more chances to spread this and share it!

BLESSINGS FROM
MY DEN TO YOURS!
Have a wonderfur day!

Woofs!

AAARRGGHHH!!

AAARRGGHHH!
No I am not trying to be a pirate...I am helping growlmy to vent her frustrations. GRRR!
She wanted to restart/reboot the computer today, but it will not cooperate at all...so now she is using a borrowed one...so she can only do typing tasks, like reading diaries, or making comments. But she can't make any pics or things like that because she cannot install the needed plugin to do those...well, that means one good thing, I will surely get more doggy time this way, BOL!

I got some of that from a worker who came to our den this afternoon, and he let me even give him a kiss or two...I got to help him, too...I snoopervised what he was doing...good thing he liked doggies. He told growlmy that he has two of his own, a Bichon and a shitzu. Fluffballs!
He approved of our fenced yard, too.

Growlmy is starting to get a wee bit of better movement and strength in her wrist, now that she is going to physio.

Well, we sure hope we won't miss out on making any important pics for our furends. Sorry if we do, though...

Sack-o-Poopie!

Today growlmy decided that that vacuum machine was coming out of its hiding pawlace to do some work...nevfur mind that the pusher of that thing was rather clumsy...Well, it took a while but left handed vacuuming isn't as bad as all that...except that growlmy furgot how strong that arm is, and she broke the wand...BOL!Always something...
That chore being done, she got even braver and took out the shovel and a bunch of bags...and went on doo-doo patrol...OMD! What a load I had dumped over the last while...And that is where she found out that her left arm doesn't do as good a job as the right...BOL! It took almost an hour, but I guess she is as stubborn and tenacious as me, a terrier...she realized that if it rains or snows...there wouldn't be any chance to make that Sack-o-Poopie! BOL!!
And she even picked up some on the wrong side of the fence, that were furry obviously not mine...
Later during supper, I decided to go and bark at who knows what...and upon my return growlmy was not too pawleased with me...I had tracked in some mud and grass from making some markings in the soft turf, I think my angel-pal Ernie George would have called that donkey kicking...BOL
Well, anyways when growlmy tried to clean my paws I was not amused and showed her my teeth...oopsie, sorry, growlmy, and off I went with my tail between my legs...

Earlier today before all these events, I was barking my head off at the hated UPS truck...I have no idea why I hate it so much...anyways the lady that came out of that truck laughed (!) at me and gave me a cookie! Wow! So now I am confused if I should bark with glee at the next UPS truck, or bark with my hackles up...
Pawppy said that the treats in the pocket was the delivery gal's 'secret weapon'! BOL!

OK, off I go to go and make some more doodies...for the next Sack-o-Poopie...then I will sleep sweetly all night long!

Woofs!

I Heard Growlmy Yelping!

Growlmy's ouchie on her wrist is still furry bad. It is hot(!), swollen and she can hardly even pick up a mug.
The xrays that were done do not indicate any break...so why this agony still after 2 weeks? I hear Growlmy 'yelp' a lot lately, she seems to forget that she isn't a pup, but my growlmy!
Well she went to see a specialist today, and he feels she is having a reactive inflammation to the original soft tissue injury.
So he said she needs 4 weeks of physiotherapy, to wear a splint and to stay off of work until 6 weeks have past. So that will be almost 2 months before she can go back if she figures in the time she already missed...the doc said she could go back if she would only do work with her left hand...yes, that will be cute, work as a one handed nurse's assistant! Um...not going to happen...so she let the office peeps know this, and she will bring her paper there tomorrow...and set up the PT...in the meantime she hopes she can get by without that paycheck she had been enjoying...
And I and the kitties will keep her amused here, so she won't get too bored...and you know she only needs one hand to pet us or scritch us under our chins...BOL!
Well, if that pesky dog that caused this to happen (She was trying to catch the neighbors dog that had gotten loose...) had done this today, Growlmy would only have gotten a muddy mess, or no fall at all, because it is quite mild here, about 50F. All the 6 or so inches we got the other day is about gone!
What a not winter we are having...

Woofs to all!

I got a Big Box! Whoo-Hoo!

The other day,I got this large box in the mail.
It was addressed to me, so I had a big sniff of it, I found it furry intriguing...and so did Pipo & Minko, they were all over it!
Whatever was in there was smelling great!
Well, it came from New Mexico...from Cooper and all of his gang!
THANKS SO MUCH!
I had to shout so they could hear me over all those miles, BOL!
Well, Minko and Pipo helped me and growlmy open that box, and it was a treasure trove of goodies for all of us.
Warm fuzzy socks for growlmy and a cozy fleecy throw, which I think the kitties will enjoy, too... There were lots of toys for me and some for the kitties, too.
And there were some yummy treats in there too...so after all was checked out, and some pics made, I got to have some, Mmmmm!
Growlmy has made a slide show of this boxed event, and here is a link to it...just click on it, and ignore the broken image that shows up with the link...you will be directed to PB and get to see all the fun me and my brofurs had!
Presents From Cooper and His Family!!
Cooper sent me this stuff in a furry green way, he recycled the box that I sent to him earlier last year, BOL! Isn't he a clever pup?


Meanwhile Growlmy was ordered by the MD to stay off work for about 10 days to give her hand extra healing time, she is wearing a splint for protection, but the xrays do not show any breakage...just a very bad bruise with consequent inflammation, Ouch! By now her forearm looks all colors of the rainbow!

Woofs!
