Goodies!!!

Look what I got in the mail today!! It's from my good friend Sitka! I was especially interested in the pigs ear!

I did a test lick first, then got right down to eating it! Boy was it yummy!

I even abandoned the old cow ear I had been hording and chewing on from time to time, in order to consume my new pigs ear. Which I did, in record time, of only 15 minutes!!

Mom gave each of us one of the treats, and we were very happy to have them! Thank wooo Sitka! You're pawsome!!!

Monster poses

I don't have many, but here are Monty the Monster's sleepy poses. You can blame the human man for the lack of good examples. Well, that and the fact that Monty usually sleeps either outside or in the basement in the back storage room. I guess he likes his solitude.

This pose is known as Keep the Bathtub in Place, which requires the upside down froggie doggie. This is a very important pose, because it keeps whiny, pathetic boy's bathtub where it belongs, so he can get in it next time it rains.

Below left, also using the upside down froggie doggie, is your basic Hold Up the Wall. In the photo on the right with Kona, he is not only performing Hold Up the Wall, he is incorporating the Hail Stormy. However, he is using BOTH paws, and sticking them out straight in front of him, rather than up in the air.

And, on the rare occasion he gets on my couch, he's kinda lame on Hog the Pillow. Abby and Sam are much better Hog the Pillow sleepers.

Once again, I'm ready for a nap. Till tomorrow my pup pals! (and fufu too)

Abby's sleepy poses

Abby likes to do the upside down Froggy Doggie too! Here are her examples.










She also has the Hog The Pillow down VERY well!

But, she also has one that the rest of us don't. Lay On The Chewy pose.

And, then there's the very uncomfortable looking Head On The Step pose.

And lastly, the all important, Hold Up The Fireplace pose, which does incorporate the upside down froggie doggie, AND an excellent Hail Stormy thrown in too! Abby is so multi-talented!

Well my pup pals, that's it for tonight. On to the Samoyed boys tomorrow!

More sleepy poses

Thought I would share a few of my siblings sleepy poses. We have some in common, and some that are different.

This is the sad, pathetic, whiney, freaky boy's sleepy poses. (aka-Samuel)

On the left, the spare bed. He's basically decided it's his. (he will share with Monty sometimes)

On the right, mom's lap. That's because he is a BIG SCARDY BABY! Or, mama's boy. Actually, I think it's both.

This is his Air-It-Out pose. He does this a lot. But definitely not as well as I do.

His all time favorite spot is my couch (0k, I do share with him) on the pillow. He hates it when someone is in his spot on the pillow.

Then of course, is his spot on the humans bed. See where he is in this picture on the right? This was HIS spot for 7 years, until dad came along. There were some "issues" at first when dad took Sam's spot on the bed. (Sam thought it was his, and wanted dad to move) Eventually they worked it out. But, once in a while, Sam decides to re-take his old spot and hog the pillow next to mom's. (or, put his head slightly ON mom's pillow)

Then, there is the bathtub. He goes and sleeps there whenever there is a storm, or it rains. Mom especially loves it when he gets in with his muddy feet and then she has to scrub out the tub BEFORE she can get in and take a shower. Not to mention the fact that Sam is not too thrilled to get out just so SHE can get in!

And, just to keep you all happy, here is a shot of me. Just because.

Happy Easter

Love, kisses, and God Bless You All!!

Sleepy Positions

Aaaahhhhh yes. Sleeping. My second favorite thing to do. Eating, of course, being the first.

Since some of my other friends (Ao4 and Magnum) are sharing their sleepy positions, I too must share mine.

First up - The Doughnut. Notice how I keep my nose nice and warm with my fluffy tail.

Next - Hide Your Face Using A Human. In the picture to the left, my face is stuffed behind dad's knees. On the right, I have my face hidden between my paws which are resting on moms leg (those are her snowflake sleepy pants.)

Third - Hog The Pillow. This means laying your body on as much of the pillow as possible.

Fourth, is one of my favorites (which annoys the humans tremendously) - The All-Out Sprawl. This makes it extremely difficult for anyone else to get on my couch.

And last, but certainly not least, the Air-It-Out, also known as the Upside Down Froggie Doggie.

I hope you all enjoyed my sleepy positions. They are all VERY comfy!

(I definitely need a nap now)

What the..?!?!?!

Back in March while the Iditarod was going on, dad found this book on E-bay and decided the title was just too interesting to pass up. So, he bought it.






He is now in the process of actually reading it.

What I want to know is.....why on earth would the editor let this guy title his book something like THAT!?!?!?

"Holly" withdrawal

For those of you going through "Holly Withdrawal" because I have been posting so many pictures of the freaky boy, I am happy to give you your "fix" by sharing some new pictures of ME.

I hope this makes you all feel better about not getting to see my beauty for so long.

I love lounging in the doorway, keeping an eye on my yard.

I also love to CHEW. Chewy's are my favorite.

Hhmmmm, what's this over here? Wonder if it's edible?

Aaaahhhhh, all this chewing means I need a good stretch of my front legs and paws.

Well, all that chewing has made me sorta tired. So, I guess the only thing to do is nap. At least my chewy will be safe, here between my paws.

Nosey

I couldn't stop laughing at this picture, so just had to share. In case you can't tell, yep, it's the freaky dork boy, Samuel.

Sam's Freedom Photo's

Well, here are more of Sam's photo's from his day at the park while UNLEASHED.

Well, I hope you enjoyed Sam's photo's. Luckily he made it home safe.

And, just because this is MY blog, and lately it has been way too much about the brainless, whiney, pathetic, freak boy, here is a picture of ME.

Hollybollyboo

(and besides, I'm cuter anyway!)

I think I'm in trouble.....

I know what you're all thinking, and NO, it's not ME!

The human man got in trouble. How, you ask? Well..........

A) He did something he wasn't suppose to; and

B) He told the human woman what he did. (big mistake)

On a recent morning run, dad got some really nice pictures of Sam at the park playground.

However, there is something very wrong with one of these pictures. See if you can spot it.....

Notice the lack of a red thing hanging from his neck in the picture on the right???

Yep. Dad took the leash OFF of Sam. At the OPEN, UNFENCED park!!!

Dad said he did it cuz Sam knows dad is the alpha, and that dad is in control. Ummmm, hello!!!! Given the chance I'm pretty sure Sam would run and never look back, regardless of what dad said, or how alpha he thinks he is! (isn't that why I was picked up out of a corn field?)

Mom was NOT happy, (to say the least), and she spent a good amount of time yelling at dad that he was never, ever, ever, to do that again! She said if he wanted to take that chance with HIS dogs, (Kona and Monty) that was his choice, but to never, never, ever, ever, do that with "her" dogs. (that would be Sam, me and Abby) I think the words "kill" and "divorce" were mentioned! Sam is her very special "son" and if anything ever happened to him (or any of us) cuz dad was STUPID and let him off his leash for some pictures (regardless of how good they are) I'm pretty sure dad would be finding a new home without us! We are mom's "children" and loss of us due to intentional stupidity is completely unacceptable. (can I just say DUH!)

Sam thought it was pretty funny that dad "trusted" him not to run away. Here he is laughing hysterically at the whole situation.

Well, the good news is that dad learned a very important lesson and has promised to NEVER let any of us off leash in an open area ever again.

It's a good thing mom loves us enough to get really mad and upset over our potential "loss" that she would stick up for us so much! Too bad ALL humans out there aren't more like her!

I'll post more of Sam's "freedom" pictures tomorrow.

The spaz is at it again

Samuel is such a freak. I just don't understand him. Maybe my other Husky friends can tell me if this behavior is normal..........or not.

(Be sure to turn up your volume to get the "full effect.")

Personally, I think it's brain damage.

(did I mention he's a FREAK?)

Ho Hum

Well, it was another one of those boring weekends. We did nothing exciting.

Here I am last night when I was waiting for my dinner. Usually I'm more excited about getting my dinner.

Then today, it was pretty nice outside, in the upper 50's. So I hung out outside most of the day. Our human woman bought us these gigantic cow ears from Doctors Foster & Smith. Boy, do those doctors know what tastes yummy!

Here is a picture of me laying outside on the blanket chewing on one of my cow ears.

Samuel likes to walk around with his and just play keep-away from the rest of us. Personally, I don't think that's very nice. I mean, if he isn't going to eat it, he could give it to me!

Being the smart, food driven girl that I am, I did come across another cow ear, I think it was Monty's, that was dropped when he went to go bark at the people walking by our fence. So here are a couple pictures of me with both cow ears. I can't decide which to chew first, but I do have one secured under my paw, while I chew the other one.

You can really see just how big these ears are from these photo's. Maybe some of my other doggie friends will show these pictures to their humans, and then their humans can buy THEM some of these yummy cow ears! Good luck pups!!!

That was pretty much the extent of excitement for my weekend. But hey, anything edible is always exciting to me!

Where did winter go?

With all the drama and suspense with my friend Kelsey's emergency surgery I forgot to mention that the snow thief took away all my snow, and instead left me with hot weather!! It's only MARCH!

There is something significantly wrong with this! Lets think back a bit, shall we?

Two weeks ago we had our first official blizzard since 1998 and got a foot of snow. See below.



On Tuesday we broke record highs and hit 80 degrees!!! Why is it, we always go straight from cold right to hot and somehow skip Spring all together?

I really need to talk those humans into moving to Minnesota SOONER, rather than LATER!

Hollybollyboo
(I want my snow back!!!)

It's about time

This is something I recently found. I think it is something that ALL of us need.

http://www.dogware.com/1040-DOG.htm

Then, maybe these stupid humans will take us seriously! Hawoowoowoo!!



On another positive note, Kelsey is doing better. His temperature has finally come down to 101.4 degrees, and that is the lowest it has been since last Monday when all this started! He will be given some soft food tomorrow, to see how he does. His first attempt at soft food didn't go too great. He threw most of it up, but some DID make it through. His poor tummy and intestines are just so traumatized, it's no wonder they didn't want to work yet! He is keeping down his potassium bromide (for his seizures) and also all the water he drinks. That means there's no leak in his patchwork, and no sign of fluid in his abdomen. He is still on IV fluids since that is where his antibiotics are given, but hopefully that can be removed tomorrow, if he keeps his food down. The peritonitis was localized around his intestinal patchwork, so that was good since it had not spread throughout his tummy. And, that was even getting better, which was evident by his reduced temp.

So, hour by hour, he is slowly getting better. Tomorrow will be a big day, so keep those paws crossed and those prayers coming. They are really working!!!
