Joey and Tanner ROCK!!!!!

Scruffy here....the judge decided to drop the charges against Purple Protester Lacie in exchange for some community service. He assigned her to visit some elderly male dogs in their homes and render nursing care and companionship for them in their old age. I can tell ya this isn't exactly a hardship for Lacie. I'm pretty sure she was flirting with the judge, too.....and you should see the outfits she wears to go and visit the elderly...Still Let O heels...short skirts..skimpy tops...sheeschsch.......
After our mail carrier got over being chased by the Black and Tan Club, he dropped off a package for us!!!!
FROM JOEY AND TANNER!!!!!
As you can see, Lacie was all over it...IT DOES HAVE ALL THREE OF OUR NAMES ON IT, but she wouldn't let us near it...


Look at all this loot!!!!! OMD, sweet potatos...we adore those!!! Come on Lac...just toss down the package....


OH NO....they got her a lifeguard bandana...POOCH PATROL???!!! They actually said they felt badly that it wasn't here in the summer....HA...Lacie lifeguards Stan and me in all four seasons...what this bandana is gonna do is give her official status of BEING THE BOSS.....


And look it the dress they sent...it sez DIVA all over it and BAD TO THE BONE!!!
Well, that's appropriate!!!
She does look pretty cute in it! ( I had to say that...)





Look at the purple hair bows from Tanner...she's totally gonna be insufferable now....the return of the horned Lakeland. Honestly, Tanner...you don't hafta live with her....




And a card with a nekkid sheep on it? And a stuffed purple demented rabbit? And what's that box up in the corner????






OMD....new poker cards with foxy wires and smooths all over them.....
POKER IS SO ON FOR THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!








That demented rabbit looks an awful lot like Lacie...acts like her too with a frightening cackle and just starts shrieking for no reason.......and has a ginormous PURPLE BUTT....and screams TRA LA LA LA in the most insipid fasion.....Stanny and I are stayin' away from the darn thing....
Tons of thanks to Joey and Tanner for our pressies....YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!
Member....POKER FOR THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!
Reporting Barks!!!!

G-20 Summit here in Da Burg

Scruffy here....oh, has Lacie done it now....just imagine what Mumsie said this morning when she opened our paper expecting to hear about the President's dinner he was hosting here in Pittsburgh last night for the G-20 Summit....instead, she read this.............

Evidently, Lacie went downtown dressed as a purple crayon planning to protest the removal of the color "violet blue" from the box....(deemed too boring for today's schoolchildren......)

Somehow or another she ended up with a bunch of other protesters dangling off of one of the bridges....(Mumsie was pleased to see she had her life jacket on...we all know the back heavy half of the Lacie sinks, not swims......)


She was allowed to go to Asta's pawty with a strict promise she behave herself for at least a month....didn't last!!!
We heard when the police lowered her into the river that the splash she made flooded the stadiums and lowered river levels....
Now there are water restrictions everywhere...can't even fill our water bowls...
Laughin' till purple Kool-Aid squirts outter their noses....
Scruffy and Stanny
(just to get her back for my monkey!!!!!)

HAPPY 3rd Barkday, ASTA!!!!!!

Laciegirlie here....I just want to join everybody in wishin' my BFF Asta a Happiest Third Barkday ever!!!!!!! Asta is the sweetest girlie in the whole world and I'm figurin' between us and the CATS (who have kidnapped her and are takin' her someplace amazing in their Magic Flying Van!) that she is going to have a really busy birthday!!!
There's a hooooooooge pawty goin' on inside Pastis' restaurant in NYC for anybody wantin' to come...but NO CAMERAS...the puparazzi are to remain outside, so what happens in Pastis, stays in Pastis!!!
Asta seems to be tellin' her daddi that it's time to go in...I seem to be sidetracked by the icin' on her cake....(I adore icing!!!)


From all of us, we wish Asta a fantastic birthday and many more!!!!!

Love and kisses...

Scruffy, Stanny and Laciegirlie

Monkey. Part 2....the Destruction.

OK...Scruffy back to continue the coverage of this horrible incident involving my sock monkey....

If you bigify this pic, you can see how frightening it is...Petey made some comment about Lacie's horns, but if I write it, I'd probably get in trouble (for the grammararians, he used it as an adjective, not a noun....)....Look at her ears...she looks like she's ready for takeoff with my monkey.....
Some of you were wondering what Stan was doing during this incident. This. He was terrified. He wouldn't even turn his head when Mumsie called him. Nada...pretending he wasn't there. He hates conflict.
The tug of war got too close to him....read the body language of the big Dale...ears back...looks miserable...poor guy...is he really a terrier? Maybe he's a golden or a lab...in a black and tan coat?


OMD...look where the wound is on my monkey? And look at that expression on Lacie's face...bet her black DATE BOOK is gonna be EMPTY after this post.



Is that what I think it is? Oh no. I shall have to mail it to Mango's momma for further examination.




Sheeschecch....look at our yardie.....







And look at my monkey. FLATTENED.





She is NOT SMIRKIN', IS SHE?






OH HELP. We have to live with her......

Does Your Monkey Need Fixing? Part I

SCRUFFY HERE...OMD....my poor monkey...look at him....he went outside to take some fresh air just mindin' his own bizness....
WHEN THIS HAPPENED....Look at her...laughin'...this is an uglee story...young or sensitive pups shouldn't view these pix unattended...if at all......(oh...and check out the bows on Lacie's freshly laundered head...don't they look like HORNS????)

Back to our story...she grabbed my monkey...just snatched it while shrieking like an un-oiled gate.....



And took off...with me, Scruffy, in HOT PURSUIT.....


I got him back...and examined him for injuries...look at that LACIE STARE...the one I was tellin' ya about?????





THIS IS IT HEAD ON....see the FLUFF??? No...that's not Khyra Fluff.....it's my monkey's...well...um...I think he has sanitary section issues....





Lacie came back in for a quick Grab & Snatch....





I'm tuggin' with my bared gnashers...but this Horned Lakeland is strong....
To Be Continued......
Poor Monkey....

Lacie and Stan: GROUNDED!!!!

Scruffy here...that flight back from S. Africa was exhausting...I was so glad that Mango's lap is large enuff to accommodate both MJ and Lacie. Neither MJ or Mango looked like they were enjoying Lacie's company, but that didn't seem to matter to her....the beast is clueless as to when she's not wanted.

So we get home and GUESS WHAT...the BLACK and TAN Club is GROUNDED....yeppers...



Look at 'em here...I love this pic of my siblings...it shows how Lacie can turn a fairly normal Dale into a crazed one, with one of her famous Lacie GLARES...havin' been on the receivin' end of those GLARES too many times, I totally understan why Stan looks nutso...

Anyway, before we went on our African 'Venture, Lacie and Stan were outside one day barking at the mail truck.

And Mumsie FORGOT their electric collars...(she won't do that again....)


Yep.....they bolted our of our yardie and CHASED THE TRUCK UP THE STREET. I, Scruffy, was a GOOD DOG and didn't join them cuz I WAS LOCKED IN THE HOUSE.....(by accident...)
The mailman was terrierfied of the Black and Tans...they were standin' in the middle of the street barking and Lacie was shrieking so loudly that Khyra had to have heard her in eastern PA....Mumsie actually ran up the hill...trust me, that hasn't happened in years. It took her and one of our neighbors to catch them...Lacie kept taking off and Stanley just barked and barked....Mumsie was TOTALLY HYSTERICAL...mostly cuz she thought I was with them and she couldn't find me and she thought I had been squished by the truck. Nope...I was stuck in the kitchen...
Neighbor carried the snarling Lacie (he was afraid of Stanley; Mumsie tried to tell him he was afraid of the wrong dog) and Mumsie dragged Stanley home....they got yelled at but they didn't seem to care. I Scruffy, being a GOOD DOG tucked my tail and hid in the corner...even though I hadn't done anything wrong...
Mumsie said she aged at least 2 decades in ten minutes....Lacie had to make her a smoothie....she couldn't stop shakin'......


Thought you guys might find this pic interesting. Lacie made a TOTAL PIG of herself at Tanner's birthday party....she ate fourteen pieces of barkday cake that Asta made.
You know what they say...
A minute on the lips...
Forever on LACIE'S HIPS...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Scruffman, Who Isn't Grounded.....(because he's a GOOD DOG!!!)

Khyra on a Stick....

Oh poor Toffee...Max's brother...you know...the one I was doing the TANGO/TANGLE with in my last post??? Well, he had to have 'mergency surgery on a very delicate part of his anatomy, poor sweet boy....Asta and I have been nursing him...well, Asta has...she won't let me in the room cuz I sat on his stoopid bed....I don't know who makes up those silly rules that ya can't sit on the patients' beds.......I did provide this donut...with pink sprinkles so HE can SIT a little easier....
photo by Petey
OK...so well Petey had to go and blab all over the place that I wasn't wearin' my babydoll jamies that Mumsie packed for me....Asta and I ran into the boyz tent and um well these were my totally cool jamies that night. And Mumsie read about it and DEMANDED that Petey and Rosie find me some of those Martha's Secret wooly bloomers instead...look at this.....


photo by Petey
OMD, have ya ever seen anything so um....MODEST??? And ITCHY????!!!! And Petey dug all through my suitcases and found those totally stoopid polar bear slippers Mumsie sent too....there aren't even heels on them.....
Sheechsh......a girl has to express her individuality and that leopard print nightie was amazing....


I took a walk around the property this afternoon to walk off some of this delish food we've been eating....found this girlie...don't we look alike???????
And then I found this rather disturbing sight speakin' of look-a-likes.....





OMD....lookie at these??? Could it be MAX AND KHYRA...????? I found them on top of someone's golfclubs on the course....


Now that is totally SCARY....GOLFCLUB COVERS??????

Can ya imagine drivin' round in your golf cart and havin' Khyra makin' khomments from the back seat on your shot???

Barkin' at ya from South Africa...

Walkin' on Another Dog's Leash...Reflections of 9/11...

Greetings from South Africa, Everybody!!!! I have finally found a dog who can OUTFLIRT THE LACIE!!! Yeppers....Max's bro TOFFEE....all but BEGGED me for a DATE!!! And he asked me to go and TANGLE!!! At least I think that's what he said.....
Um...maybe he said TANGO....you know...where ya eat the rose!!!

Frankly, I think lovin' is better than fighting......sorta words to live by, huh????


A slightly steamy dance...but it is HOT over here in South Africa......!!!
**********************************************************************************


Scruffy here....
We want to take this time to reflect on the events of 9-11-01. Many of us dogs/kitties and hammies weren't even born yet on that awful day. But we wanna think about what that day meant and how we never ever want something like that to happen again.
We wanna think about the friendships we have with all of you. How we can learn about each other's countries and celebrate our differences....so many times we don't respect others cultures cuz we don't understand them. We haven't walked on another dog's leash, so to speak. But with blogging we can!
We can learn about South Africa or the UK or what it's like living in the Colorado Rockies. We can take a walk through Manhatten and never leave our chairs. Sometimes it's just silliness...sometimes not so silly. We learn...we share...we laugh together...we cry together. We respect eacother. And we learn to love each other. We've become friends!
And with friendship and love comes Peace.
IMAGINE!!!
IMAGINE A WORLD OF PEACE.





With love...you give us HOPE!
Scruffy, Lacie and Babystan

Our New Snack Dispenser.......

Stanley here. Lacie let me post....lookie at our sickle pear tree....ripe and bursting with fruit.
It's the ultimate in snack-dispensing....we just watch and wait....like predators....
waitin' for those pear rhodents to fall...
Here's Scruff with a mouthful....he's out there ALL THE TIME....let's just say that he recycles them well....
And that you don't wanna be in the same room with him in the evening....
Look at Foxy Breath with a hooge mouthful of pears.....
He brought one in the kitchen today and tried to bury it.



BUT...watch the technique of a pear hungry Lakeland.....first the snatch....




Then the GRAB.
Delicately RIPPING and GNASHING off the SKIN.....





NOM NOM NOM as the Mango would say.....





Observin' it to see if it's gonna try and escape....









Not a chance with these jaws......







Lacie looks surprisingly good with a belly full of pears.....










Scruffy looks like he has issues.....










My tummy feels a tad ill...maybe a nap?
Very full reporting barks...
Stanley
