New Noun Hound Game Clues

Well, I’ll Be…
I won! I figured out both ♥Austin♥ and Ying Yang’s clues!

Now it’s my turn to pick an Animal, Place, or Thing for you to guess. Hmmm…While I think I’ll explain the rules for any new contestants.
The rules are simple. I choose an Animal, Place, or Thing – I give you 4 (four) or more clues as to what it is - You try to guess correctly – If you guess correctly, not only do you get to choose the next animal but I give you a fabulous prize for winning! Sound fair enough…

Got one for ya…Here are your clues:

1. I am a small caviomorpha rodent that lives in South America.

2. I am closely related to the chinchilla and guinea pig.

3. We are herbivores - occationally will eat seeds.

4. We are very social and, after showing ourselves to be good laboratory animals, have made our way into the pet curcuit.

5. We make good pets because we have diurnal lifestyle and bubbly personalities. Unfortunately many of us are imbred and therefore get Diabetes if we are fed sweet foods. We are also insationable chewers and escape artists.

Message me your guesses and soon I will post a Diary entry with the winners.

Keep those Guesses Comin’
-Duke Boy

New Survey - Take it and Pass it on!

Take this survey and send me your answers! (or you can just put them in your diary and eveyone can read them--like I did)

What is your name? Duford Gedanken Wilcox or Duke for short =)

What other nicknames do you have? Dewey, DuDu, Duke Boy, Big Boy, Dew Bug, and I think Knock It Off is one of them

What breed are you? King Shepherd…a breed not listed in the Dogster options

Where were you born? I was born somewhere in WA state (I think) but my first owners lived in Marion, TX

Where do you live now? Oak Lawn, IL a suburb of Chicago

What is your favorite toy? Ruby is my favorite toy. I like to play fight aka Rank fight with her all the time. I also love her Monkey toy but I never get to play with it because she’ll steal it right out of my mouth. She’s selfish.

What is your favorite store? Comic Book Store – I go there with my parents sometimes.

How many toys do you have? None…Ruby claims them all.

What brand of food do you eat? Timberwolf Organics

Wet or dry food? Dry unless Momma makes us human food.

What is your favorite color? Green but I look adorable in Purple

Are you bad when nobody's looking? No…I cause trouble all the time but I am never bad. I just like to have fun.

Are you friendly? I am too friendly. Come rob my house as long as you pet me and be my friend.

Are you overweight? No but I am built. I weigh 110lbs of love.

Do you eat people food? Oh, yeah. Even stuff they don’t give me. I am a counter surfer.

Do you eat bugs? I just started biting at flies because they bug me.

Do you live with other animals? Yes. I live with Ruby and 3 Degus and the occasional rescued pet my Momma brings home.

Do you like to exercise? As long as it is going somewhere I love it.

Do you like car rides? Love ‘em. Love to beg the driver to open the window and if we are not on the express way I love to do the doggie thing. Head out, tongue out, spittle flying, Chasing without all that stupid running.

Do you get into stuff? Everything. I have to Investigate.

Do you like to swim? I love to Wade. I’ve never tried to swim.

What is your favorite treat? Not too picky really. Any human food or meaty dehydrated food will do. I’ll even eat most processed store bought treats.

Do you shed? Oh, Boy do I. Every day in every way.

What's the funniest thing you ever did? Passed Gas and then opened the car window. I’ve also locked the house door on my parents and then opened it just at the right moment…when it is the funniest. I do all sorts of funny thing. Just depends on the day.

What's the bravest thing you ever did? It was a personal brave thing. I walked down almost straight stairs at the farm in the barn.

Are you neutered? No. I have to wait until I am 2 yrs old then get my hips and eyes checked so I can get my papers.

Are you a social animal? As social as they get!

Collar or harness? Both just depends when. I am a recreational sled dog so I wear a harness for that. Sometimes if I pull on the leash Momma switches to a harness so she can better control me. Most times a collar does the trick no need to be fancy.

Retractable or regular leash? Regular…Momma doesn’t believe in retractable leashes. They cause too much trouble for other people with their dogs running toward the traffic. They are also uncomfortable to hold.

Ceramic, Metal or Plastic bowls? Ceramic – Easy to clean.

Do you sleep in a crate? No. I sleep on the bedroom floor.

Do you have a dog bed? I did but I ate it so now I just wait for Ruby to pull a sheet or blanket or pillow off the bed to sleep on.

Do you have a doghouse? Yes, but I only use it when we are outside and a rainstorm starts coming down on us and Momma hasn’t noticed yet.

Do you belong to any dog clubs? Lots of groups on Dogster but no clubs.

How does your owner describe you? The most adorable Trouble Maker in the World.

Talking in my Sleep

Last night Mom woke up to me Yipping in my sleep. I don't bark in real life and I don't remember what I was dreaming of but she said that they sounded like they were sad, quiet, high pitch barks.
I wonder if I was having a nightmare or just remembering some distant puppy memory.
Momma said my name quietly so not to wake Pops and asked me if I was alright but it didn't wake me up either so she figured I was fine. That's when she realized I was talking in my sleep.

Duke's Pirate-y Edition of The Noun Hound Game...Enjoy

Jiminy Crispies…
I won! I figured out both ♥Austin♥ and ♣Benji♣
clues! Lemme tell ya, Austin’s clues were a doozey…very difficult, but the Dukester prevails. =)

Now it’s my turn to pick an Animal, Place, or Thing for you to guess.

Hmmm…Gotta pick a good’n to compete with Austin’s. While I think I’ll explain the rules for any new contestants.
The rules are simple. I choose an Animal, Place, or Thing – I give you 4 (four) or more clues as to what it is - You try to guess correctly – If you guess correctly, not only do you get to choose the next animal but I give you a fabulous prize for winning! Sound cool enough to you…

Got a Pirate-y one for ya…Here are your clues:

1. Pirates were also a superstitious lot. I am said to be unlucky and associated with Friday the 13th but pirates considered ME very lucky.

2. It was a common practice for the loved ones of a merchant marine to keep ME in the house while he was at sea. It was believed that so long as I was well fed and kept safe from harm, nothing would happen to the mariner.

3. Some scientists believe that the extinction of the Dodo Bird is directly related to the introduction of this animal to the Mauritius Island, the bird’s only habitat.

4. It is claimed that if WE approached a sailor, it meant good luck. If WE approached halfway and turned away, bad luck would surely follow. If one of us were thrown overboard, a storm would rise and very bad luck would ensue.

Do some thinking and send me a PawMail with your guess! Remember that if you put your guess in the comment section of this diary entry others will know the possible correct answer and you’ll have to share the credit with everyone! So that’s up to you =)

-Duford Gedanken, First Mate

Lyrics to Disney's A Pirate's Life for Me

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage plunder, we rifle and loot.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We extort and pilfer, we filch and sack.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Maraud and embezzle and even highjack.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
We kindle and char and in flame and ignite.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We burn up the city, we're really a fright.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

We're rascals and scoundrels, we're villians and knaves.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
We're devils and black sheep, we're really bad eggs.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

We're beggars and blighters and ne'er do-well cads,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Aye, but we're loved by our mommies and dads,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.
