More Humiliation

I just can't help myself, cuz it's so easy. Samuel is such a dork. Herewith is more evidence.

He has a crusty spot on his chest where he has been licking, so mom tried to think of something that would keep him from licking it. This is what she came up with.......

Handsome bandanna? Nope. That's an old hand towel that mom tied around his neck! Mind you, the droopy ear makes him dorky looking all by itself, but once you add the towel, well, I just can't pass up the opportunity to publicise his humiliation.

But wait!!! That's not the end of the story.

He found a way to maneuver the towel and was still licking at the crusty spot, so mom, using what few brains she has, came up with a better idea.






Yep, it's the t-shirt!! Can't you tell how excited he is to be wearing it? Hey, whatever works to keep him from licking his booboo, and give me something to laugh about!

And besides, it's just further humiliation for me to share with everydog!! Bwaahaahaa!!!

Blankie

About a month ago, I posted about the wonderful gifts my friends Sitka and Tia sent us. Along with the wonderful stuffies and nubbly cone, they also included a present for mom.

It was a beautiful blanket that had her name and a Malamute embroidered on it. Mom was so overwhelmed with it's beauty! Here, see for yourself!

Here's a close-up of the beautiful embroidery.

Sitka's mom is soooo talented!! Mom really loves this blankie, and usually has it over her lap while she is sitting in the recliner. When she isn't sitting there, Abby likes to lay on it! It is so nice and soft, and Abby likes to lay on blankies too!!

Thank you Sitka's mom, for giving mom such a beautiful present! She LOVES it!

Iowa Crew Part 2

The story continues.....

After mom, dad, and Summi's parents got done sledding and riding the four wheelers, everyone went inside to have some furry fun!!

This is the adorable little Tootsie Roll Butter Ball, Kiana. She is such a sweetie and mom loved rubbing her voluptuous tummy!

And, here come the rest of the crew - Echo, Denali and Kaynh, with Summit waiting patiently in his crate.

Ooooo, looks like Summi's mummi is getting out the toy box for some fun stuff!

And this shot is for Khyra - it's Summi's big, fluffy butt!!!

Mom also got some great vidoe too!







They were all having a great time playing with their toys!

And here is the very talented Summit the Super Mal doing some tricks!



I hope you all enjoyed experiencing my mom and dad's visit with the Iowa Crew!! Mom loved it so much she didn't want to leave!! I sure hope they get to go back again, and this time they better take ME with them!! Or, there will definitely be some skhwishing going on when they get home!

The Iowa Crew Part 1

Well, mom did it again. She and dad went on a road trip and didn't take me them. I'm really getting tired of being left behind!

Anyway, mom and dad went to see my very good friend Summit the Super Mal and the rest of the Iowa Crew!! And guess what they got to do? Go sledding!! With real sleddogs!! Mom and dad were so excited!!

Here are some pictures of Summit and the others, Kaynh, Denali, and Echo, greeting dad and getting ready to get hooked up to the sled by their mom.

And now, for the good stuff!! Here are some videos of dad and Summi's dad sledding! Dad didn't get video of mom on the sled cuz the stupid battery in the camera died! That would have been good video cuz on the first try, mom took a header into the snow!!! Hawoowoowoo!! I sure wish I would have seen that! But, on the second try, she got a little more instruction from Summi's mummi, and it went great! The first video is Summi's dad and the second is my dad.

But, they not only got to go sledding, they also got to ride the four wheeler! This time, dad did get video of mom! This video is mom and Summi's mummi on the four wheeler! First them leaving, and then them coming back.

I hope you all enjoyed part one of mom and dad's trip to see my friends the Iowa Crew! Stay tuned to see part 2, which has the really GOOD stuff!

And, in the words of my friend Khyra, TTFN!! (Ta Ta For Now)

Tagged!

I have been tagged by my wonderful friends the Army of Four, and Maverick the Pirate to reveal seven weird facts about myself, and then tag other bloggers. Hhmmm, let me see what I can think up!

Here we go!
1. I eat snow whenever I can. I even will try to chew on the frozen ice on the patio.

2. I won't lay on my mattress in the basement if the blanket is rumpled up. It has to be nice and neat and spread out flat, or I will lay on the floor instead.

3. I like to carry my gorilla stuffie around like it's my puppy. I take it outside, then back inside with me all the time.

4. Sitka sent Samuel a Nubbly Squeaky Cone for Christmas, but I decided I wanted it. I don't squeak it or play with it though. I just keep it to myself, and take it outside, then back inside, etc. I'm sure to keep my eye on it like my gorilla stuffie.

5. While mom is spoon feeding Abby her dinner, I sit by them and keep an eye on the bowl, cuz I know I get to clean it when Abby is done.

6. I often stuff my face down between the pillow and the back of the couch. Mom has no idea how I can breath that way. I'm not telling.

7. My left hind leg is 1 inch shorter than my right hind leg because it was broken when I was little and the wiring around the femur kept it from growing correctly.

Now, the rules to the tag:
1. Once you are tagged, link back to the blogger who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Post 7 random or weird facts about yourself on your blog.
4. Tag 7 bloggers and link to them.
5. Comment on their blog to let them know they have been tagged.

I'm going to tag Abby and Rosie, Codie, Frankie and Maddie, Izzie, Thor and Lita, Sasha, and Amici.

And, since I haven't posted any pictures of my beautiful face for a while, here is one of me and my Nubbly Cone.

Huntress

I had a great day today. Mom and dad took me for a walk at Zorinsky Lake . There were soooo many great smells! One of my favorites was all the deer poo that was on the ground!

We walked into the brush and trees so dad could place his newest geocache. Along the way I was sniffing and checking out what was hidden under the snow and grass. Every once in a while I would stick my snooter in the snow cuz I smelled something really good. Mom and dad thought it was "cute". Whatever!! I was simply being the supreme huntress that I am. After all, I did survive on my own for some unknown amount of time! Buuuut, then stuck my snooter in the snow and grass, and I came up with a critter in my mouth!!

A SNACK!!!! Oh my goodness, I was sooo excited!! I caught a vole!!! I was just seconds away from chewing my new found snack, when dad made me drop it!! He pulled me away from it, and I watched it crawl away, back under the long grass. I couldn't believe he didn't let me eat it!! I mean seriously, I found it, I caught it, I deserve to eat it! But nooooooooo.

Then mom was worried that it was hurt really bad and would crawl away and die a horrible death. That's what happened to a rabbit that Sam caught. Mom was not happy then either. Mom said dad should have let me go ahead and eat it, so it wouldn't have to suffer some poor agonizing death just like the rabbit. But, the more she thought about it, the more she realized that wouldnt' be a good idea since it might have caused some sort of illness or another tapeworm or something like that. Then she was glad dad made me drop it. Dogonally, I still would have liked to eat it, since I was the supreme hunter who caught it!

Oh well, it was still a good outing anyway. And, best of all, I had a great time sniffing all the cool smells, and checking out all the deer poo along the trails we were following. I guess that makes up for the loss of my snack. And, I was admired by some people I came across along the way.
