Scruffy, Lacie and Stan's Place

Is Dexter a CYBER BULLY?????

2012-01-28T20:34:00.011-05:00

Little Lacie here....my feelings are deeply hurt....well, not in this picture...but it's all becuz of a certain LABRADORK in Boston.....

Recognize this guy?? Dexter??? Mango's brother??? You might note he doesn't seem to have teeth...I know for a fact his toofers come out at night just like the stars...yep...dentures.

He has his boxers all in a wad cuz of my last post...my musings about Loki (that totally hot Cracker Judge for the Minster...)...all just that...MUSINGS. WHAT? Oh...the above pic...it's not like I have any control over the toys he plays with....

But back to Dexter....lookit this...this mean-spirited letter he penned me after my adorable last post....

And as for that immune to my "charms"??? Well, I have had several TOURS of his barn, but I'm not the kind of girl er LADY who kisses and TELLS.

So for your reading pleasure.....

Dearest Bestie (sic),
First off, I will remind you that I, Dexter, remain one of the few (and I mean very few) dogs on the internet who is immune to your "charms." I find little to please in your potty mouth remarks and questionable attire. It pleased me to no end that Judge Loki sussed out your cheap attempt at bribery by offering something that you give away freely every day.
Loki is no fool and knows that should he decide to engage in the right of passage known rather benignly as a "date with Lacie" then he can do so at any time he chooses.
I will not soon forget when you made your journey to our estate, but I am gentleman enough not to pester your hapless Mumsi for compensation due to the permanent hearing loss I suffered while transporting you.
http://mangosgreatadventures.blogspot.com/2008/11/invastion-part-ii.html

As for your comment on MY blog regarding dental work. I remind you that I did have a few extractions when just a wee pup due to a (rather adorable) over bite which caused my canines to mis-align. That, however, is beside the point. I realize that for you it is near impossible to imagine keeping one's mouth securely shut until there is something of value to say. However, I, Dexter prefer to keep my own counsel until I have thoroughly collected my thoughts.
Regards,Dexter

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME....

He makes me sound like this......

Sheesch....

When really....well look at me....

Seriously, I feel like I've been CYBER BULLIED....poor innocent little me....

So....I propose INSTEAD OF THIS.....

THIS!!!!!

Frankly, I think Peewee is acting like a big baby...I mean, it's not like has teeth.

So I'm gonna help him out with a new BINKY.....that'll help him KEEP HIS TRAP SHUT!!!

HAHAHAHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEEHEHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

TAKE THAT DEXTER!!!

BEAST

Crackers and MORE for Loki...Mango Minster Cracker Judge

2012-01-21T13:20:00.009-05:00

So as I was sipping my hot carob this morning...(my brother Stanley is such a barista, n'est pas???) and I got to thinkin' about cows and dairy products. Yep, the Lacie is a veritable wealth of info on bovines.....I mean my pawsonal favorite whipped cream frosting comes directly from a cow, right?

And think about Swiss cheese...a pawfect compliment for a CRACKER.

And for some odd reason, my musings went directly to Loki...that good looking chap from Switzerland who just happens to be judging the Cracker Dog entries of Mangominster 2012. Lookit those crossed paws....wonder if he's got them crossed for a BRIBE er um never mind on that I'll just go back to playin' with my latte and seeing what pics I can make.

I wondered how MOI, ie the Lacie might look in a lovely Swiss outfit???? Fabulous...I mean, was there ANY doubt?????? It does accentuate my tiny waist.

After more spoon twirling, I saw this bucolic picture of darling Swiss cows passing down the lane plus a very lonely dog just waiting for a DATE!!!!!!!!! Er better strike that, too....maybe he was just hungry.

You might notice that cow in the back of the pack looks a bit like Juno, Loki's sister. He asked me to keep her busy for a while so he could get even more spoiled by his family but no that sounds like bribing so just STRIKE THAT LAST COMMENT. (Funny how much Juno looks like KHYRA....wonder if Khyra would like to join my herd????)

Oops, this is the totally wrong picture...wrong country, but same idea. The Lacie does have an amazing set of pipes.

Lookit this last swirl before I snarf down my carob!!! Pretty amazing, huh??????

Nothing like a nice hot drink on a cold winter's day......

Kisses,

Miss Lacie Teacakes; a formidable entry in Mango Minster 2012 Cracker Dog Competition

MANGO MINSTER 2012 CRACKERDOG ENTRY!!

2012-01-16T20:02:00.011-05:00

Lacie Girl here...IT'S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN....(drumroll.......) YEPPERS....

MANGO MINSTER 2012!!!

I am entering myself in the CRACKERDOG category....whilst I don't see anything cracker-like in the following pictures, I have been assured that WE ARE NUTS...me in particular.

Without further ado, we humbly submit our entry for this year's esteemed judges to peruse: it is twofold....crackersnaps to enjoy, AND for the first time in our blogging history....

A VIDEO.....get ready for the

ACTION!!!!!

Love that dishwasher...it's so like a den...fox, perhaps???

So good for firming those pesky gluteals!!!

Oh, that evil, evil dryer vent....I just know they're mice in there!!!!!

I really can't explain this pic...by the way the boyz are on the INSIDE of the shower...that would make me on the outside by default...

Oh, the oven....another dark and wonderful place. I try to jump in any time I can!!! Mumsie has a bunch of scars for some reason.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE VIDEO????

SCROLL DOWN.....

DOWN....

DOWN.....

Just a little more....

OK....here we go....many many thanks to Auntie Sus and Bruvver for their hard work on making this video and to Daddy for filming us. It's a Day in the Life of Three Crackerdogs...with me being the whole SALTED PACKAGE....!!

ENJOY!!!!!

Respectfully submitted for entry,

Miss Lacie and her Stoopid Brothers, Scruffy and Stan!!!

HO HO HO....Merry Christmas!!!!!

2011-12-24T19:43:00.002-05:00

Merry Christmas, Everybody!!

Nuff Said....

A Holey Mystery and WE DIDN'T DO IT.....

2011-11-15T13:22:00.003-05:00

Doesn't Lacie's mouth look photoshopped in this pic?? Well, IT'S NOT. For those of you who think her back end is large, Stan and I will tell ya, nuthin' compares to her front end.....

Hey look at this....

And guess what....WE DID NOT DO IT...nope....not one of us had even a sliver of mud between our toenails.....so WHAT DID DO IT? Mumsie says she doesnt' want to meet it in the dark....

The Innocent Terriers....for once.

Paws and Reflect; Third Annual Worldwide Moment!

2011-11-12T14:53:00.010-05:00

Wow.... the third Worldwide Moment is upon us...our community has gotten so big we should have that much more energy to give to this cause...positive thoughts for those who need them...one paw at a time......we have some pix from the Peep's trip to NC last month...peaceful ones.....

The Blueridge Parkway in October...just getting ready to explode with color....

A beautiful quiet stream.....

Sliding Rock...nature's own water slide....see the steps for people to climb it on the left??? Nobody was sliding there that day...way too cold in the fall!!

Our cousins, the Cockapoops were here yesterday...we told them they had to get ready to pause and reflect....

Stella's all about reflecting!!

We're trying so hard to hold still...but that Stella has to jump up for every camera flash! We will be putting our paws together tomorrow night for all who need it....hooman...furkid...those who are at the Bridge...those who just need an extra boost of love....

Cuz that's what this is all about...caring...

We do....

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanley

A Real Can of Worms!!! Or All About Poop!

2011-10-19T13:37:00.007-04:00

So, lovely picture of the South Ends of the Terriers pointing Northward. Why am I focusing on our south ends? Well, at least the posteriors of the BOYZ?

YEP...OH, DO THEY EVER. Not me of course....Dr. Mary said she doubted that I would ever acknowledge having a colon, much less a positive fecal. I have neither. I am pure. And clean. BUTT not my brothers....a different story here.....

The above is Stanley. Mumsie read online she should be incinerating his poop. Not an issue here...Scruffy eats it. Thank heavens, or she'd have to be putting it into paper lunch bags and setting it on fire.

This is what Scruffy has...Captain Hookwormie....uglee dudes, aren't they? Stan's probably eating them...I know Scruffy is. Sorta counterproductive after you've taken the worm medicine.

And see this...no, no it's not a real picture of Mumsie. But it's what her leggie looked like for the last month. RINGWORM. Yeppers...not from me or the boyz....she scratched herself silly before Cat Woman informed her she had jock itch of the leg. Of course, she had to announce that in the middle of the drug store in a loud voice. The medicine is helping.

What can I say? Only that Mumsie is taking stock in Clorax wipes and has no skin left on her hands from scrubbing.

We dogs are such givers!!!!

Khyss Khyss,

Miss Lacie Teacakes

Autumn Daze....

2011-09-22T18:36:00.008-04:00

Stanley here....Lacie let me post. Big of her. So we went to the park yesterday all wearing martingale collars. It was a RODENT PLAYGROUND!! Mumsie counted 10 squirrels, 3 crows and countless chipmunks. That was right before I decided to climb a tree...that was forty feet away. Did I mention that we were all on 6 foot leashes? Mumsie's arms are a good two inches longer today. (Mumsie: it was like waterskiing behind three different boats...)

Here we are in the yardie practicing the terrier lineup. Lookit Scruffy's tongue...ewwwwwwwww. It's hooge.

Love the way that fall sun warms my furs....

Does the Lakeland ever have her mouth SHUT? She's lookin' like she needs a spa day....

Look at Mumsie's fern. It was half dead when she put him outside in July. He's thriving!

I love smelling the boxwood.

S N I F F!!!!! Lacie sez my nose is too big for my face. True or not???

Stanley

We Remember....

2011-09-11T13:07:00.002-04:00

Daddy and Mumsie hung this flag this morning...we are remembering those who lost their lives on 9-11-01 in NYC, the Pentagon and the little town of Shanksville, PA, about an hour from us.

Ten years ago, there were no doggie, kitty or hammie bloggers or FB friends. Our World in the last decade has become smaller. One post at a time. One paw at a time.

We never dreamed an event like this could happened to our country. But we also never dreamed about all of you from all over the world giving us a community of love and support.

We remember with love,

Scruffy, Lacie, Stanley and their Mumsie

WHAT THE HECK????

2011-08-30T22:16:00.004-04:00

Clacie here....member me? Clone Lacie?????? Well, I was getting packed for a pleasant holiday, when this INTRUDER jumped in my PURPLE suitcase??? Who IS he?

Smells like FOXY breath....acts like FOXY....LOOKS like FOXY...hmm...wonder if he's one of the new remarkably lifelike stuffies Mumsie's always yappin' about?

Maybe he's a Wheelie...but he doesn't have a red bow around his neck and he seems to be missing WHEELS. And look what an ample bottom he has compared to my diminutively sized derriere.

HMM...with that face?.....Looks like it's gonna be an entertainin' trip....!!!

Kisses,

MISS CLACIE PEECAKES!

GOODNIGHT IRENE!!!

2011-08-26T13:47:00.004-04:00

To all our friends who may be in the path of this storm, please stay safe...

Asta and I have a new business adventure....just in case the trains stop runnin' in NYC. You see my first passenger is a Rattie. Smart kid. Why Asta chose this time to satisfy her craving for Wally Mellon beats me.

Stock up on supplies and batten down the hatches.

Earthquakes? Hurricanes?

Be careful!!

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanley

Of Earthquakes, Icing and Floofy Tails!!

2011-08-24T19:18:00.009-04:00

Scruffy here!! For once. Lacie hogs this blog. So...we had an Earthquake here in da Burgh yesterday as did most of the East Coast. I'm sure it had nuthin' to do with Lacie sittin' down a bit too hard....HAHAHAHOHOHOHEHEHEHHHEHEHEHAHAHA!!!!!

Lookit this...between Mumsie and Lacie they about killed this cake. No...wasn't any dogs' Barkday. They just buy random birthday cake and eat it. Pigs....

Look at her Gluttonous just digging right in....

Mmmm hmmm...starts with the icing. Lacie never varies her cake eating style.

Moving on....there's more icing between the layers...nom nom nom....

Yep. You can tell Lacie has been here...she sure does have a sweet tooth. A minute on her lips...forever on her hips.

Hey, member this guy...? The squirrel who almost peed on Mumsie's foot down in Hilton Head...(puddle is marked by yellow arrow....) ???

Well, comin' outta work today, Mumsie had that deja vu stuff....

Speaking of sweet tooths, take a look at this Pennsylvania Gray Squirrel....in his natural environment, partaking of natural foodables....he was in the hospital parking lot next to a car.

Yes, he's eating a lollipop...had gotten it off the stick and has it between his greedy little paws...

Mumsie dropped her keys trying to take the picture and he ran over to her like she was gonna feed him. (Judging from his belly, he isn't lacking for food.) The lollipop got stuck to the fur on his little paw and he was a tad confused.

Does that tail remind you guys of any dog over in EASTERN PA????

Pawslaps,

Scruffman

RATS, We're BACK!!!!!

2011-08-14T20:45:00.014-04:00

SHEESCH...we've been gone like forever...Mumsie's been sittin' on the sofa, eatin' bon bons instead of bloggin'....

Mumsie: Hardly....may I explain how busy....

Lacie: No, you're lazy and we won't have any friends left....
.

Did ya see these IKEA Ratties who have moved in???? Wicked good (as Agatha would say) poker players...and not bad company in the yardie!!

Nuthin' better than prancin' with a rat!!

Oh...I didn't know they swim....

This kid looks demented..."What? You really just asked me to put sunscreen on your back?"
Ewwwwwwwww.

Hey, Stan...that's MY rat...looks like he's attackin' ya...

Hmm...Rattie actually got a rise out of the usual comatose Dale....

Ahh...it's all about body language...that Stan knows who is the BOSS in this house....my, my bum looks tiny....

I'm not even sure what to caption this snap...

OKAAAAYYYY....looks like Scruffman has to get in on the action...no rats???

Smart rats...out of reach of that MOUTH.....

Drowned Rat? Naaaaaaaa....that kid still has a bunch of poker games left in him.....

NEW SUBJECT.....

So, ya know how Katie Girlie is gettin' a new brother?? Well, I've been in on the training...

Coming along nicely, if I do say so myself....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!

Kisses,

Miss Lacie Teacakes

Summertime....And the Living is Easy Peasey!!!

2011-07-12T12:40:00.011-04:00

Lacie here....this snap of Scruffy is enuff to make ya not get so near his choppers. Why do WFT have such hooge toofers? It's not like they have larger brains...at least not my brother.

I mean, look at this...what intelligent dog would poop on his favorite toy??? Yeesch...it smells...

Stan got a laugh out of it!! And a fur trim...he looks like a sleek seal now, not a wooly bear.

Here's Scruffy the Hunter checking for Mama Deer about to invade our yardie.

I am also watching. No comments about my rear end, please. My Spanx are in the wash....

Our blackberries have been amazing...my smoothie blender has burned out several times....

Scruffy is so enthusiastic about life. He inspires Mumsie. She said it's a lesson to watch his Joy in the morning and the simple fact it's another day.

Bruvver wanted Stella the Cock A Poop to have a nice cushion for her nap in the yard.

This pic is entitled....

INTENT

Oh that Scruffy...hasn't any dog told him summers are for lazing around, napping...shooing flies and eating Wally Mellon?

Dog is inexhaustable.

Kisses,

Miss Lacie Teacakes

Why I Love Mango....by Lacie, Who Else.

2011-06-24T20:19:00.016-04:00

Lacie here...yes, yes, we've been gone like forever, but all is well...just enjoying the wildlife in our yardie and the sunshine!!! Now, I couldn't pass up this opportunity of the WHO WANTS TO DATE MANGO CONTEST. You see, I'm panting to tell you why I love Mango Darling.

I love knowing a dog who was hatched...watching his bloggie evolve to what it is now?? WOW! You just hafta love Mango.

And his slobber...what Lakeland could resist this face?

Not to mention his large caboose...notice how diminutive mine looks????? You gotta love a guy who makes my bum look tiny. Of course it IS.

And his sense of humor...member his Wheelie, Hector??? This was before Mango made an appointment to have him professionally tutored. Hector has been rather lacking lately...I mean in his blog appearances...(whoosh, that just came out wrong...)

And who couldn't love a dog whose brother only has two teeth? An unusual pic of Dexter before his dentures.

Those legs...that skirt...no undies...oh,trust me, I looked.

And of course, his famous appetite...this was on a Running of the Errands...see my smirk?

And his graceful non clumsy self...a gentle soul with a true love of the arts.

BUT, MANGO, THERE WILL BE NO DATE...'member...I'm banned from Boston...

But just a few pix to make you realize what you're gonna be missing.....

HUBBA HUBBA....

Oh, crap...how did this snap of Teka get in here....

Yep...you're missin' out....

The other problem is my weekends are totally booked with Tanner's new bro,

STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE!!!!

Sorry, Mango...another time, Sweetie???

SO PLAYING HARD TO GET,

Miss Lacie Teacakes!

Farewell, Joe Stains...We Love You!

2011-06-01T12:45:00.002-04:00

Some dogs are truly one of a kind. Oh, will we miss this kid.....

Run free, Joey....you will be sorely missed. We will watch out for your Peeps and Tanner...

We love you...

Scruffy, Lacie and Babystan....

Farewell, Sweet Butchy and Our Pool's Open for Bizness...

2011-05-30T20:26:00.014-04:00

We terriers want to acknowledge Butchy joining Miss Snickers this past week at the Rainbow Bridge. Mumsie and Daddy were away and we couldn't post at that time. We are thinking of them all the time in every terrier action we do...when we tug on our leash, dig, bark, play bitey face, do crazy zoomies....they were two of our first friends on the blog. We celebrate the time we shared with you Butchy, dear. We are sending Mama and Papa Lamb, Katie and all the Cats our support. We love you!!! So very much.....

Pool's open in Da Burgh....here's an action shot of Scruffy trying to drown his tennis ball....lookit that water flyin' off him....

I've had my first dip...it's not often you see the Lacie with no makeup and a wet beardie....

Hey wait...I got this totally cool pressie last winter from Baby Rocket Dog and Hootie...she said it reminded her of me....I think I'll go and put it on.....

Yeppers...can you believe it??? Baby sent me this totally smokin' hot bikini!!

It even has a hole in back for my tail. Fits like a dream.

What's that stoopid Stan lookin' at? Hasn't he ever seen a Lakie in a bikini before stepping into a pool???

Ooooh la la!!!

Now the SECRET is...(for you less full figured girlies like me...)a little padding in the top....

Ok...a lot of padding in the top......

As soon as I put it on, my cell started ringing off the hook....this will be available at newstands everywhere this week.

Make sure you have a fan for cooling off.....

EAT YOUR HEART OUT, KHRYA....

KHISS KHISS....

Miss Lacie Hotcakes!!!!!

Happy 30th Anniversary, Mumsie and Daddy!!!

2011-05-19T22:02:00.005-04:00

Well, Lacie here....see this pic above...that's the reason we're in JAIL. Yep, any dog wanting to bust out us...we'd be happy to see ya....Mumsie and Daddy are gonna be parked on that beach.

This was thirty years ago...that's hard to believe cuz Mumsie's just 29 now...

She said she adored Kate Middleton's dress...geez, I wonder why....

Congratulations to our Peeps....!!!!

Kisses,

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanley!!!

Wire Foxies Are Nuts...Totally....!

2011-05-14T22:23:00.012-04:00

Lacie here...yes, the Big Dale had an excellent Barkday....he thanks you all for your wishes!!!

So Mumsie told Bruvver she'd watch the Poos tonight...Baylee and Stella...our Cock A Poop cousins.....she said she'd take us out to dinner.

This wasn't the fine dining experience I was expecting....

Lookit Baylee behind me. Dining in this household is serious bizness...if you lie down and just graze, another dog is gonna eat your kibble.

Hard to tell where Baylee stops and the grass starts.

Now this is getting ridiculous. All those curls and friendliness....

Yeesch.

What's Scruffy doin'??? Still has his poodle paw from his dental...so do I...sniff....what fierce rodent could he be hunting? Mice??? Rats??? Groundhogs?????

Scruffy, what are you doing?????

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Scruffy....so not a good idea.....

Chasin' bumblebees...snappin' at them....is Scruffy stoopid or what?????

Bigify this pic....Mumsie couldn't beleive she got it.....

Just another example of the foxy wire only having half a brain....

Kisses,

Lacie Girlie

HAPPY 4TH BARKDAY, STANLEY!!!!!!!

2011-05-10T21:10:00.008-04:00

Hey Everybody...see this Dale pup on the right...that's our Stan at a couple of months old...he's gonna be four tomorrow...we're puttin' up some of our favorite pix of the big lughead....

Seal imitation.....

Nuff said on this one....

Flying Dale rabbit......

He gets a lot of treats cuz of this face....

Happy Fourth Birthday to our Babystan....we love ya!!!!! And yes, that pic on our header is Stan's litter...lotsa Dales!!

Scruffy and Lacie

Lacie's New Twinnie....Rocky Creek Scotty Look-A-Like!!

2011-05-03T22:55:00.002-04:00

They say imitation is the strongest form of flattery. Many have tried but none have come even close. Until now. We got this pic from the Rocky Creek Scotties....on how strongly an impressionable young girl can be influenced by her first nurse. I did assist in the delivery.

Do you not want to fall over from cuteness overload??? Wait till Mango sees her....and she will SO ASK HIM FOR A DATE...

Her makeup...pawfectly applied lippie stick and nosecara at three weeks old?????? I'm having a blender delievered there tomorrow. Never to early to learn. She is obviously extremely gifted.

As soon as she's weaned, we are so going shopping.

Kisses,

The other diva girl....Lacie Cakes

REPORTING FROM LONDON...a Royal Wedding!!!

2011-04-28T21:34:00.012-04:00

HERE WE ARE BROADCASTING FROM LONDON....A Royal Wedding.....and it's all gone to the Dawgs!!!!

Of course The Lacie needs an outfit....

Here I am with Sir Archie....yes, we make a lovely couple......wonder how I got cut out of this pic...lousy photograper.....sheesch.

Odd horses the Queen uses over here....very SQUARE....

The boyz and I thought we might be able to profit from all the crowds....

Miss Enid, (Eric's Wheelie) was a bit upset over us setting up the stand....she is very PROPER....and strict in matters of EAT A CAT.

Her eyes seemed to grow a bit larger when she saw these at the stand next to us....

I know nothing...nothing.....

Eric convinced us to stay in a tent in front of the Palace....that worked out okay until Scruffy partook of a bowl of those famous baked beans.....

I must say the view is better from up here....

Royal Greetings from the Terriers....

Kisses,

Miss Lacie Teacakes

Check out Asta's bloggie...she has amazing snaps of the coverage!!!!!!

Royal Wedding Week and Package from Miss Enid and Eric!!

2011-04-26T11:16:00.007-04:00

Look at this GIRNORMOUS BOX that arrived on our doorstep from London. It was stuffed, just stuffed with Goodies from London....ALL ABOUT THE ROYAL WEDDING!!! Our dear sweet friends, Eric and Miss Enid Wheelie gathered it together!!

Mugs, a plate, nail polish, cupcake wrappers with Wills' and Kate's faces on them...OMD. I am beyond barks...

Look it!!! And check out my new ring that Miss Enid pilfered....er um well, I don't know HOW she got it...but it looks very familiar...see it on my ear????

Then she sent this squeaky kid who is to be my Manners Mentor for all things Royal. I think she's a royal pain in the derriere, but sheesch....COVER UP, LACIE....KEEP YOUR VOICE LOW AND WELL MODULATED. She should talk.

I look just like Kate, don't I???

It's a fine fit on my ear....

London, HERE WE COME....

Tons of thanks to dear Eric and Miss Enid across the Pee.....we love you!!!

I hope Unsteady Eddie is keeping his post in front of the Palace!!

Kisses!!!

Miss Lacie Oh So Proper Teacakes

Pawty at Ronnii's and Happy Easter, Everybody!!!

2011-04-22T12:51:00.009-04:00

First of all my dear BFF, Asta told us about a Celebrate Life pawty over at Ronnii's bloggie. They lost Richie this week, and we want to drop by to lend our support!!! And there will be food and you can see Asta on the guitar.

Uh Oh.....Mumsie decided to check out our toofers....

The big Dale's are fine...you can see your reflection in those teeth......

Um, well Scruffy has that little recycling habbit outside....he does have a fine set of choppers, doesn't he? Mumsie said he needs professional help. (Then she laughed...)

Mumsie found mine needed a cleanup....tiny petite dogs like me get a little more tartar...NO, it's not from eating frosting all the time. And I have a new Smoothie that decreases tarter, whitens teeth and gets rid of gum disease...

So off we went to Dr. Mary's for a dental...shiny new toofers and fresh breath!! They told Mumsie they did eight extractions on me, but they were just kidding...Lacie bares her fangs for a minute to make sure...

And now we're droolin' thinkin' about this Carob dude who has been hoppin' round our yardie....

It's important to Eat the Ears first...

Happy Easter, Everybody!!!

We love you....

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanny

In Her Easter Bonnet...Lacie Revealed!

2011-04-17T12:28:00.008-04:00

Scruffy here...look at the Pupparazzi on our street today. They were everywhere...so what was the big scoop???? Lacie's Easter/Royal Wedding Ensemble just arrived from the House of Lamb...that fabulous designer out in Iowa...rumor has it that Katie has a matching hat....(also wanted to say that Butchy and Katie have no internets right now...but that Butchy's blood levels were low for his seizure medicine, so they can safely increase his dosage and hopefully scare off that seizure monster!!)

Pretty as a picture, isn't she?

Now why would Mango call this little angel a BEAST?

I see some similarites here...course I don't know a lot about girlie design and stuff.

Only what Lacie tells us Boyz...and her mouth never stops flapping.

Happy Spring, Everybody!!!

Scruffman

Funniest Dog Video...Have Ya Seen This Yet??

2011-04-14T10:52:00.003-04:00

HA!!! These Labs...can you believe this kid would admit to his dastardly deed? Wouldn't happen in this house. Nope...Best defense is a fabbers offense. Though I do admire his ability to shut his eyes and not look at his hooman. Us do wrong? As did Scruffy really PEE ON THE WALL when Mumsie was at work yesterday? I'd never tell. Now today is our kinda weather...65 degrees...and SUNNY. Yep...and it's about time... We're going for a walkie... Kisses, Lacie

Spring is Springing!!!

2011-04-06T17:59:00.008-04:00

So we all headed out in the yardie today...Scruffy and his infernal eternal frisbee...if it's not that, it's his ball....

Here's Stan and I practicing our posing...Royal Wedding is coming up...have to get in shape for the Pupperazzi!!

If you bigify this you can see Stan's eye...it's really creepy....

He's giving me the eye....

And I'm givin' it right back....

Since when are Foxie Wires, Retrievers?????

Spyin' on Lacie...Her Secrets Revealed!!

2011-03-29T11:17:00.006-04:00

Ever wonder how Lacie gets into some of her um TIGHTER outfits???? Well, Scruffy and I solved the mystery when we last had our baths......

Now, we weren't peekin' or nuthin', but it's pretty obvious when you get smacked in the head with a chunk of spandex when Lacie is um DISROBING.....

Yep...she takes stock in this company....takes her F O R E V E R just to get into them...lotsa squealing and screeching......and then look what happens....

What is holding in her middle seems to squish out her back end!!!

Not to mention it makes her face look like a BOBBLEHEAD!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHOOOOHEEHEEHEEHEEHARHARHARHOHOHOHOHOHOOOO!!

Scruffman and Stanley

Spring and the Dear Deer!!!!!

2011-03-20T21:28:00.005-04:00

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!!!!!!

So yesterday we were playin' in the basement....we decided all at once to go upstairs...it was a triple terrier pileup....but we felt like George the Lad with Saturday Steps!!

We get upstairs and think we might see something....so Mumsie let us out....she nearly had a heartie attack when she looked out the window and saw this....

Lookit Stanley...have you ever seen the body language of a Dale to be more specific????

Scruffy looks like he's one of the deer herd...he's doin' a little grazing...

We had a meeting with these kids...we're having a Poker Pawty with them...they don't have much expression on their faces...could be a tough game!!!!!

Wanna come???

Kisses,

Mrs. Mango Backup Dog

No, I haven't married him...but I am a bit worried for our hatchling...I'm just not sure of Mango's nurturing skills....

Last Snow of Winter????

2011-03-13T20:29:00.013-04:00

Yes, yes, WE'RE BACK. Our computer's hard drive gave up the ghost...so we had to get that fixed. And I've been busy trying to hatch an egg (see my tiny butt above) but that got boring.

Frankly, Mumsie said we all have been rather boring these days. But we think she's just a bit tired of winter....I mean lookit this....

Yes, Scruffy and I use pee pads...Mumsie buys them in bulk and tossed them down the stairs. You call this BORING? Obviously, somedog chewed them up....and um some dog...(THAT WOULD BE SCRUFFY...) had a little bowel issue. Now, why would Scruffy poop on the chewed up pads? His brain is so small it's anyone's guess.

Stan swore he had nuthin' to do with it....

So we got more snow on Friday. They predicted 4-8"....we were relieved they were wrong. Got way less....oh, I do look adorable with that white background.....

Scruffy's lookin' at a deer in the woods...what else does he do?

Stan's playin' Square Shadow...that's a good one.

Is this the last roach of winter?????

I didn't even need to get out my furdryer to work on that snow....

Cuz two hours later, this is our yardie.....

It got up to 58 degrees...no snow could put up with that!

Oh...that egg I was tellin' you about. Well, I got soooooooooooo sick of sittin' on it to hatch it. So I sent the egg to Mango....IT'S FATHER. 'Bout time that dog took some responsibility...

He's hatchin' it now....HERE.

Kisses,

Beastie Lacie

Snowdog Scruffman...As You've Never Seen Him!

2011-02-24T18:56:00.016-05:00

Snow AGAIN! B O R I N G.....well, it IS the end of February....we played outside...the usual. (Lacie yawns....bored.)

We even played the Who Has the Squarest Shadow game. I won easily. Boring....

Scruffy's too dumb to be bored. He's entertained for hours with that stoopid tennis ball.

Stan got creative and got the pool out.

Ahh...but no water....get outta my way...the Lacie Has An Idea....

Hmmm....

Oh...a bit slippy on that first jump....let's just say I'm about to get creative here.....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! Look at this! I REINVENTED Scruffy....

This Scruffy's a Good Dog! And he has minty fresh breath.....now that's an improvement.

Cute butt, too!

STAN: OMD...what's this in the pool? I'm gonna knock his block off!!!

Stanny, Scruffy...don't even think about touching my Creation.....

Get away from his candy nose, Stan.....I'm warnin' ya....

STAN...YOU ARE CHEWING HIS GUMDROP NOSE...????

SCRUFFY...WHERE IS HIS EYE? DID YOU EAT IT????????

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.....

Ahh...now that's better....

A good day's work in the snow....

Kisses,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, LACIE!!!

2011-02-08T19:28:00.013-05:00

OH, I LOVE BIRTHDAYS!

ESPECIALLY MY OWN...the cards...presents....DATES....and CAKE....did someone say CAKE????????? Lookit this lovely card from Butchy, Katie and all those kitties out in IOWA....and it's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PURPLE...my favorite color!!!! Thank you, guys!!!

And lookit this cardie from Asta...it's all blingee on her blog....she took me to the spa....you can read about it here...

Isn't that crown to die for??? Oh, Asta!!!!!!!! Thank you dear girl!!

Mumsie was tryin' to find our really early pics of me...but they're on the other 'puter....so I'm puttin' this one up...that Khyra hogs everything...even my Lacie Jack in the Box.....

Did you guys know, this is why Mumsie got ME? Cuz Scruffy was NAUGHTY. He was 18 months old and wouldn't stop rippin' her clothes...wasn't really housebroken, chewed everything in sight.

After 30 minutes of me in the house and one episode of me sinking my toofers into his shoulder when he went after Mumsie's jeans.... SCRUFFY UNDERSTOOD. Either be a GOOD DOG, or the Lakeland bites you. Simple. I housebroke him, too. That took like a day. Frankly, I did more in under 24 hours than Mumsie did in a year and a half for Scruffman. Wonder if he appreciates it?

So this is what I did on my Barkday today.....

Here's Stan tellin' me I don't look a day over two....wise choice from that dog.

Frolicking....

Exercising Scruffy.

Excercising the Dale...see my pawfect straight-legged Lakie form???

Laughing at Scruffy...he's demented.

Hmmm.....

Oh, the JOY of just being ME!!!!!

Thank you for your cards and wishes!!!!!!!...you can see Bruvver's card to me on our header. I thought it was a lovely drawing of me...but NO........it's of stoopid Scruffy....

And it's MY birthday...sheesch.

Buttercream KISSES,

Lacie Girlie

A Groundhog in the House...? Part of One???? EWWW!!

2011-02-03T22:19:00.006-05:00

Yeppers...recognize this guy?? Punxsutawney Phil...that famous groundhog from just north of us here in da Burgh....yesterday was Groundhog Day...and old Phil DIDN'T see his shadow...predicting a short winter...actually, I'm thinkin' all it predicted was the fact his burrow was iced in and he couldn't get his fat butt out...

Here's Scruffy...out in the yardie...diggin' a hole and sniffin' and snortin'....

If you lived in that hole, would ya wanna see this face comin' at ya? Quite the hunter, our Scruffman.

Dog is totally demented...look at him...

So just a few minutes ago, Mumsie asked Daddy to call Scruffy in cuz he was taking too long from doin' leg lifts on the bush out in the frozen tundra. Scruffy ran in alright...with somethin' in his mouth. A large thing in his mouth. Mumsie took one look and screamed bloody murder and hid in the laundry room. Daddy traded the "object" for a large chunk of Challah bread...dog has good taste. He traded.

The object in question was a um HEAD. A frozen head...of a mammal of sorts. Mumsie kept screaming.

Did Scruffy bite off the frozen head of Punxatawney Phil? Is there a frozen rodent runnin' around in our yardie without its cranium? Will the sedation work to stop Mumsie's screaming?

Tune in next time for THOSE NAUGHTY TERRIERS....

Miss Lacie Teacakes Who Thinks Scruffy's Beardie Smells Divine

Celebrating PL2's Barkday at Mango's Estate...

2011-01-27T21:43:00.011-05:00

So Asta and I popped over to Boston to pay a visit to Agatha and Archie. We found Agatha designing this cake....FRIDAY IS PL2'S BARKDAY!!!!! Isn't the cake amazing????

We decided to give her a pawty....thought we'd do it out on Mango's deck since they live pretty close....

Archie wanted to make a traditional New England dinner....LOBSTER!

It took Archie a bit, but he rounded all his stuffies into one pot. He is such a pawfectionist....and a Master Chef.....

He rented a truck and we hauled all the food over to Mango and Peewee's....

They grow lobsters HOOOOOGE in Master Chew Sits...and for Mango bein' afraid of stairs, he sure scooted up to the roof fast enuff when that lobster waggled a claw at him!

We invited some special guests for PL2!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PL2 FROM ALL OF US!!!!!!

And thanks to Mango for his hospitality!!!

Kisses,

Lacie

You can wish PL2 a Happy Barkday HERE.

Cheese, Crackers and BRIBES.....

2011-01-23T17:14:00.009-05:00

Hoooo Boy to quote Agatha....we terriers are even more crackerdog than usual! Our beloved Steelers are playing the Jets tonight for the chance to go the the Souper Bowl!! Stan is already a wreck...

Thank dog, we have this Steeler playin' tonight....that Joey Stains...I have no idea how he gets his fur to do that.

Now, it is not often that the Lacie admits to um well er a MISTAKE. I seem to have made a bit of a FO PA. I was trying to think of something to well do a good deed for a fellow doggie. It JUST HAPPENED TO BE TWINK. Honestly, the fact I was tryin' to do a good deed for her had NOTHING TO DO with the fact she is a JUDGE for the Cracker Dogs over at the Minster.

I seemed to have er, um... asked her out on a date. I didn't know she is a um WO-MAN DOG as she describes it. And she refoosed me. (Lacie takes a deep breath, a tad relieved...) BUT she said that she had totally lost her heart to Mango. And he rejected her (I have NO IDEA the story here, but I aim to find out...) And she says she's never going to DATE again. Ever......

Look at her here....Seems a pity, huh....

So I talked to Mango and arranged for them to have a lovely dinner at a superb French restaurant, called Mistral in Boston.

It even has trees in it, just in case Mango gets a leggie liftin' urge or something!!

Just look at them...sorta brings a tear to my eye....what a lovely couple.

I am wondering why they are the only ones in the restaurant.

I hope it has nothing to do with Mango's tendencies to fart at inappropriate times.

As for my Good Deed for Twinkie?? Just Pass It On, Girlie!!

Kisses,

Miss Lacie Teacakes

A Public Service Announcement; LACIE IS CONTAGIOUS!!!

2011-01-17T15:55:00.005-05:00

Scruff and Stan here...so Lacie is still grounded for taking that nip from Mumsie's neck. PLUS...we have a hooooooooge piece of gossip about her...

Mumsie noticed she had this "thing" on the inside flap of her ear. So she took her to see the long suffering Dr. Mary.

Now mind you, Lacie had a bit of a SLUMBER PAWTY with a bunch of her boyfriends at the Savoy in London recently. Why do I bring that up again...??? Well....

When Mumsie made the appointment with Dr. Mary, she told the receptionist it was for a de-horning. Cuz that's what it felt like. Sharp, pointy...no, not quite this big, but close...ok, so I'm exaggerating a bit....but still.....

And guess what! Dr. Mary sent it off to the Lab...(Dexter, I guess...) and get this....

LACIE HAS A WART. AND IT'S CONTAGIOUS!! Yep...just like herp....well, not exactly like that but CONTAGIOUS just the same.

All those boyz at the Savoy. Hundreds of others....

Dr. Mary said you could tell just by lookin' cuz it (the WART) had a bit of a cauliflower appearance.

Hmm...I'd say more than a bit. When questioned, Lacie sez she's found the pawfect hat to wear to the Royal Wedding in April.

Nuthin' like makin' lemonade outta a lemon.

Hushed reporting barks,

Scruffy and Stan

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!!

Lacie GROUNDED and Snow!!!!!

2011-01-13T16:39:00.009-05:00

Stanley here....I am taking over the helm of the blog as Lacie is grounded. More on that later.

Deep snow this week! We've had lots of little snows, but yesterday we got a bunch...it's even deeper today.....

Lookit Miss Cracker Dog...intent to kill, that one....Scruff and I can't help it we entered her in Mango Minster as a Saltine....

For all Miss Enid despairs at Lacie's lack of Eat A Cat, she never forgets to run in a stiff legged Lakie prance...lookit this form!

Um, you can look at this form too...just don't get too close. Mumsie actually caught him recycling at the same time this morning...yeppers...eattin' poop and pooping SIM ULL TANE EE IS LY....

G r o s s!!! You shoulda heard Mumsie...he's on the train to Boston as we speak. Somethin' bout the Estate at Mango's needing poop removal. Scruffy is all over it.

Ah...the lean form of an AIRE O DYNAMIC DALE...

RUN. JOY. RUN. HAPPY. RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like Lacie is chasing a bunny...a Dale bunny...see how much faster my long legs have on her in deep snow???

Now back to the reason she's grounded. Member this pic from our Mango Minster Cracker Dog entry???

So yesterday when Mumsie wanted to shower so she could go to work, she had Lacie under her right arm like a purse. A purse with teeth. Cuz as she reached in to turn the shower on, sweet little Cracker Lac, angry at being thwarted at running INTO the shower, reached over and sank her teeth into Mumsie's neck. Can you say jugular? Carotid? Mumsie said a lot more than that.

So she's grounded. HA HA...NUFF SAID!

Obviously, what is on the outside does not match the inside.

Respectfully submitted to bloggy land....

Stanley (who if were entering Mango Minster would enter as a Sensitive Gentleman Dog....do they have that catagory?)

Mango Minster Entry; LACIE REVEALED!!!!

2011-01-10T12:55:00.012-05:00

Now Scruffy and Stan here...we boyz are pullin' and tuggin' 'bout somethin'....you see it's this time again....

MANGO MINSTER 2011....now, you've read the rules...AND WE WANNA ENTER LACIE. But we boyz have a DILLY EMMA. Do we enter Lacie as a Diva??? Or as an Insane Cracker Dog???

Now, this is a pic snapped by Asta at the 'Minster from last year...Diva, yes??!!

But take a look at these for proof that Lacie is an INSANE CRACKER DOG...

And one of the best.

Counter jumpin'...she goes nutso. Works that big butt of hers....

Can you open the dishwasher without her barking and SCREECHING???
NOPE...

And Mumsie's pawsonal favorite...the oven. (No, it's not hot here...Mumsie's not stoopid...but Lacie is...) Lacie's been known to try to jump in the hot oven while screeching and doin' her best Ritz, Premium Saltine and Triscuit imitation. Yep....

Need we say more...the fur dryer...she goes nuts...rather vain, that one...

Another favorite...THE DRYER VENT. Obviously, a Lakeland never knows if there is a rodent in the dryer vent. Check this out...she's tryin' to BITE THE DRYER!!!

OMD...check this out...Stan and I are IN the shower. She's TRYING TO GET IN....

Lacie is completely off her rocker...most of her um, obsessions seem to have to do with dark cavelike places...obviously her inner terrier is determined to find that fox...or whatever.....

She is SO Insanely Cracker Dog that we've even seen her sporting this necklace!

What other Lakie could rock a saltine????

Our final point??? Need more proof?????

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!

Respectfully submitted,

Scruffy and Stanley

Pee ess...go ahead...go eat a cracker and try really fast to whistle...just try!!!!!

Stoned Henge; A Proper Adventure!

2011-01-03T13:22:00.006-05:00

So if you've been reading on Asta, Gussie, and Butchy's bloggies, we are now in England shoppin', er.... touring. We chose to stay at the Savoy in London...it looked like a friendly enuff place and had this strange appeal to me.

Now I did contact Miss Enid to come to my room for tea, but she arrived a bit early...like twelve hours, so I sent her back to Square House to return the next day. I'm sure I got a demerit in Eat a Cat for that....

She is so very proper.

But I couldn't let her in as some of the boyz had popped over for a little visit.... Yes, the blender was going a bit. They do have high quality ice over here.

I fell asleep and had the oddest dream.

I dreamed we went to Stonehenge for a tour. Bertie (speaking on the rocks, what else?) Gussie (the history) and Archie (on why Boston accents sound so British at times) gave a lovely presentation, but I'm not sure too many of the dogs were listening.

Well, in spite of what Asta sez (SHE wanted to shop!) there is just a ton to do at Stonehenge in winter.

Nuff said.

Happy New Year, 2011!!!

Kisses,

Lacie

Fatheaded Terriers and Clocks That Go Bong!!!

2010-12-26T01:34:00.010-05:00

Lacie here...it's almost 2AM and I'm just finishin' up the dishes...sheesch...I will pawstively need to redo my nails tomorrow! Lookie at Mumsie's totally cool pressie from Daddy...see it? Under the gorgeous painting of the lady that Auntie Ami did for Mumsie a little while ago? Daddy bought her a restored 1930's mantle clock...complete with key...and it bongs...has scared us half to death tonight cuz were not use to it...it's a deep mahogany with a black base....so very cool! And look how nicely it sets off Ami's painting...!!!!

OK...so lookie what Mumsie got from Bruvver.....can you believe this??? He had US made into FATHEADS...that place that takes photos and turns them into peel able adhesive pics that stick to your wall, but don't trash the paint or anything. Now check out the face on the Lacie....

My Fathead me is almost as big as the real Stan....

Now Bruvver is disturbed, cuz Fathead had screwed up the order...so they had to redo it...but look at the first order they did.....

Instead of doing the three of us like they were supposed....they made Babystan look so ginormous!!!!!

HE'S HOOOOOOGE.....this is a hoooge error...I want that sent back immediately and have it replaced with an even bigger Fathead of ME, Lacie...like ten foot high....Daddy said these HAVE to go in the basement. Mumsie's planning on decoratin' the foyer with them...sounds like a fight to me!

So the other night Auntie Sus was giving Bruvver the surprise Winter Classic tickets she was able to trade for ones she had won...she said he was probably have an accident in his pants. I dunno who took this snap of me in the corner, but it's so not my fault I might have made a housekeeping error...those tickets are darn exciting, if you are a normal dog.

Lookit Scruffy...he coulda cared less 'bout those tickets.....

Dog is fixated.

Now he's happy.....

Here's Stan gettin' right up into Auntie Sus' grill, tryin' to score some of those tickets...Lookit her face...don't think we terriers will be getting those tickets legally, at least!!

Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas....we're exhausted...we're going to bed!!

Kisses to all,

Scruffy, Lacie and Stan

Saying Goodbye to the GruffPuppy.....Run free, dear Opy!

2010-12-22T11:08:00.004-05:00

A DWB's icon has left us to go the the Bridge. Opy, the GruffPuppy, beloved dog of DWB's founders, Brooke and Greg is sadly no longer with us. We loved her dearly. She left us our very first comment welcoming us to blogland....

Brooke and Greg must be heartbroken. We think that Opy and Charlie are together again and are busy chewing some heavenly treats...

We love you, Opy...Run free!

Terrier Offical Christmas Portrait!!

2010-12-21T11:30:00.002-05:00

What can we say? Words are unnecessary here....we will mention we got to eat the majority of the treat can. And we so deserved it.

Thank you for the thoughts and zen on Scruffy's little leaky issue...we started him on medication (no, not the girlie hormones)...he seems to be better, so we'll see how that goes!!

We are trying to get around to visit everybody, but Mumsie's list seems to double
daily...know we are thinking of you all!!

Kisses and hugs and the joy of Christmas to you all!!

A Medical Question and Some Pix.....

2010-12-18T12:19:00.006-05:00

Lacie here....check out the latest pic of Bruvver and Sus' new Cock-A-Poop, Stella....she stole the rinse I use on my furs and left it on twice as long making her this rich penny colored...no, I'm not jealous...no, not at all.....

Here's their Christmas pic...to say Auntie Sus is organized is an understatement...yes, all those pressies are wrapped. Mumsie's not jelly, no, not at all.....

Lookit this kid!!! He came in the mail this morning from Scruffy's real dog bro, Rocket...his Peeps found him in an antique store and shipped him here....his fur is amazing...we're not totally sure how old he is and what he's made of, but he's one totally handsome foxy wire!!!

Now we have a medical issue that Mumsie wants me to ask you about....it's about Scruffy....

Mumsie noticed the other day that as he was sleeping on the kitchen floor, he was peein' in his sleep...not a hooooge puddle, but a pretty significant amount. She took a pee sample to Dr. Mary who proclaimed him free of IN FEK SHUN and said his urine was concentrated nicely and she wasn't worried 'bout his kidneys. If it continues, she has some medicine she can try, but it doesn't always work.

Scruffy's only four years old (five in March) and has never had really good bladder control...it took forever to get him housebroken...dog would drink from his water bowl while peein' in it at the same time...

The vet says urinary incontinence is more common in females than males...he just seems awfully young...any dog/kitty have any thoughts?????

This is the temporary solution I've devised....a SHOWER CAP on his BUTT....

He does look a bit irritated...

Mumsie's worried bout this and hopes someone might have a bit of info...

Snow and Terrier Attack!!!

2010-12-07T20:43:00.004-05:00

What are you staring at? I mean, my ears DO get cold...it's freezing here...and we got snow....

Before I get into that I want you to know that I had nuthin' to do with the little incident that prompted a US Airways jet to be diverted to the Burgh yesterday when the small 12 pound Manchester (NOT LAKELAND) terrier um got let out of her carrier, bit the guy next to the elderly lady who owns her, then ran up and down the aisles of the plane screeching and um bit the stewardess...

The plane was flyin' from Newark to Phoenix...yes, I KNOW I was in New York this weekend, but I flew my broom up as usual...now why US Airways thought they had to divert the plane to Pittsburgh and bring the sheriffs aboard to remove the screeching, but captured terrier and the 89 year old lady, I'm not sure...they said she barely broke the skin. For more info, read here:

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/pittsburgh/s_712570.html

Now Mumsie says we aren't earnin' our kibble, so lookie what we have to do now....

SHOVEL THE DRIVEWAY.

Sheesch...I adore attacking her shovel when she actually gets off her butt to go and perform snow removal....but this??? I will so break a nail....

Kisses,

Lacie

Off to New York for the Weekend!!!!!

2010-12-02T22:04:00.008-05:00

Look, look, look at those shop windows!!! I am traveling to New York this weekend to do some Christmas shopping with Asta...the city is so lovely this time of year!!!

I wrote to Miss Enid over the big pee to ask if she'd like to join us....initially she refoosed, thinking she'd have to take one of those aeroplanes...the poor dear has great difficulty on steps with her wheels...

But I suggested another means of travel....the Queen Mary...she accepted!! Oh, Asta and I are going to have to be on our best behavior!! You know how Miss Enid is about Eat A CAT...she is so proper....

I received this postcard from her today.

Asta saw this article in the Times. I know nuthin' bout it.....

Look at her outfit...so fashion-forward, that Wheelie!! New York will never be the same!

Jingle-ee KISSES!!

Lawsuit Against Mumsie, filed by Lacie.....

2010-11-28T16:34:00.006-05:00

First of all, our blog header is a pic snapped by the NYPD as my brothers and I flew into New York last night for Auntie Ami Mommi's Barkday....Scruffy had dropped her cake at least five times on the way, and the wind died down over the Village leading to a rather sloppy landing. Plus, I think Stan pulled too hard on the rudder...so not my fault.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....yes, I did get a drink here in this pic so my beard is a tad damp....so...the other day, Mumsie "smelled" something...she jammed her overly sensitive nose into Stan's and Scruff's nether-regions...."nuthin' " so she said....(mind you it's usually Scruffy who has "issues" but Stan does have that pesky gland problem....

So...she picks me up and shifts the front of me to her shoulder section while her stoopid nose was sniffering my very sanitary section....

And then she dropped me....like SPLAT on the floor....

What a clumsy oaf!!! All the wind went outta me in a whoosh....Mumsie screeched at the top of her lungs and I came up SNAPPIN'....I gave Scruffy a good nip on the butt, and chased Stan around the kitchen...Mumsie did grab me and rocked me and A POLLY GIZED but I'm still bitter.

Mumsie; I still feel horrible about it...it had to hurt, poor thing....

I mean, look at this pic of our varying fuzz butts...how could she even consider that I may smell anything but fragrant????

It's so not wise to DROP the Lacie.

Payback time.

Poker Pawty and Happy Thanksgiving!

OK...so we're getting left here by ourselves so the family can go play with stoopid Baylee and that dratted puppy Stella while they gorge themselves on turkey.

We're havin' a Poker Pawty here...bring beer and chips...Lacie made an amazing turkey bacon dip....all dogs Dale-sized and larger please potty in the woods to escape detection from Mumsie....

Pumpkin ginger smoothies will also be provided.

Oh...I found a turkey I can beat at poker...see the pic of him here???

Happy Thanksgiving, Everybody!!! We count you all among our greatest blessings!

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanley

Scruffy and Stanny GIRLS!!! HAHAHAHA!!

2010-11-20T14:37:00.008-05:00

Lacie here...we just all had a spa trim....and my groomer said I LOOKED LIKE A BOBBLE HEAD...that I needed a bit of work done on my face....sheesch...my beady little eyes are back in evidence....

Now, you guys think of Scruffy and Stan just bein' the height of masculinity don't ya....well, I thought it'd be nice for them to find their feminine side....

Isn't Scruffy adorabe? He looks better than he smells....

And how bout the big Dale with his giant purple bows????

Well, no, it's not the bows...Scruffy had just snapped at the big wus in this pic...

Scruffy Girlie...defending the property....

Do I not look a bit like a bunny rabbit....?

And here's proof my tiny derriere is as light as a feather...it keeps floating upward...

Kisses,

Sweet smellin' Lacie!

Happy 10th Barkday, Noah and Happy Gotcha Day, Molly!!!

2010-11-15T13:58:00.011-05:00

Oh HOT HOT HOT....News, I mean...my sweet NOAH is TEN today...yes, the big 10!!!

And then we realized it's Molly's (of Molly, Taffy and Monty's) Gotcha Day!!

This called for a celebration...this called for CAKE!!!

Now Noah and I have been touring OZ while his Peeps are away...Scruffy and Stan and the girls are runnin' the B & B.....it's not been goin' so well....waffle batter fights, Lipton tea, Hoki Fish Muffins....the guests are complaining...

But Noah and I have been having a lovely time...we have encountered a few issues with the Volvo, but I'm hoping B and D don't exactly notice.....

That camel is a long story...crooked poker player, too....

But I told Noah we better go check on the Bed and Breakfast...I secretly invited Molly, Taffy and Monty to come for a pawty...Asta was already there, trying to keep the boyz in line....

Scruffy decided we should do something old fashioned...he thought a taffy pull would be fun and not so messy as the waffle batter battle....

Um...Scruffy is just so literal sometimes...this is a photo shop reinactment of what he was thinking....no, we didn't pull Taffy....

Not this kind any way....

Asta helped Scruffy with the taffy pulling...it got a bit messy...I hope Auntie D can get it off the carpet, linens, sofa and everywhere else it's stuck....

WE HAD A HOOOOOOOOOOGE BASH....hundreds of dogs and kitties showed up for the event....

I burned out 12 blenders...I'm sure we can get the frosting off the ceiling before the Peeps get home.....

HAPPY BARKDAY, NOAH!!!

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY, MOLLY!!!!!

Kisses,

Lacie Cakes...

Oh, that frosting was the best yet......

A Global Moment of Love......

2010-11-14T12:02:00.004-05:00

We are humbled...to be part of one community who cares so much...when Daddy had his cardiac arrest/heart attack this past summer, Mumsie's first call was to Asta's mom..."put the word out....we need help!" And oh, did we get it...we will be forever grateful....

Today, we lit a candle in a global moment of Love...for Peace and Healing...for those here and those gone....a light of hope for all.....

Being nosy Terriers just had to see it from Above....

And this is what we saw....

The glow from a worldwide
caring light...

We love you all....

Scruffy, Lacie, Stanley and Mumsie

Walkin' Wednesday with Khyra.....!!!

2010-11-10T22:17:00.003-05:00

Hmm...that Khyra sure is getting to be a SQUARE DOG....and lookit her tail...lost a bit of its FLOOOF this week...must be the hoomidity????

Amazin' the views we get from the western side of PA...must be the sun or somethin'....

Khisses,

Lacie Khakes

Odd Creatures in the Yardie....

2010-11-07T20:41:00.015-05:00

You won't believe some of the stuff we terriers spot in our yard.....

Lookit this creature....yep, that Bruvver and Sus' new puppy, Stella...(Lacie yawns, obviously bored...)...huh? You think she's cute? (Lacie rolls her eyes....she's a bit bitter...Stella's furs are a darker, richer red than hers...)

Does this remind ya of somethin'??? Michael Jackson's Thriller?????

Oh, don't let that cute puppy look fool ya.....I'm the star here.....

Carefully arranged leaves....

Like that smirk????

Oh, geez...here's the pic Bruvver entered in the photo contest....were we entered?? NOOOOOOO!

He coulda used this one....she's completely deranged...unhinged...one toy short of a Happy Meal....

At least she knows who is the BOSS....

More creatures...Mumsie had gum surgery on Friday...she's a bit swollen....

Now why is Scruffy doin' this "show stack"??????

Another red creature...not half as 'dorable as I am.....

Ya better be careful, Scruffy.....I think he's pawin' the ground....

Kisses,

Lacie Cakes

Wigs, Furs and Stan's Small Waist....

2010-11-02T16:21:00.013-04:00

Lacie here...we're at the window awaiting those freeloading wee hoomans who want to take our candy...yes, it's still light out cuz we haven't changed the clocks yet...lookit Stan's small waist...our vet is always talkin' about it...no comments from the peanut gallery about my possibly square shape here...my girdle seems to have stretched a bit....

Honestly, Scruffy, the kids are RIGHT THERE...do ya need glasses???

Um...we went out in the yardie yesterday to model this wig Bruvver bought us....now, there aren't many looks that I can't wear, but.....

This one just doesn't seem to set off my usual charms....

I decided I need another fur...this ones fox...and not to worry...Mumsie bought it at the antique shop for Auntie Ami's barkday pawty a couple of years ago; it's like 124 years old...I finally got it outta the closet...

This fox is feisty...but no match for THE LACIE......

Dogue has already called with requests for a cover photo shoot....

What Scruffy????

Um, I dunno...that look really just isn't you either.....

Pawfect....what more can I say????

Stanley, get my foxy fur off this instant.....NOW!!!!!

Hmm...he looks like some sorta I dunno what?

You might wanna check out our blog header...Mumsie saw this in Arby's today....have you all been to Master Eric's blog? Miss Enid Wheelie seems to be missing, but I'm pretty sure I know what she's doing...Eric better watch his foxy back.....

Kisses,

Lacie Furcakes

Of Ballerinas and Dead Chickens...!!!

2010-10-30T14:33:00.019-04:00

Lacie here...Mumsie didn't think she could top last year's Terrier Ballerinas for Halloween....so she said I could do what I wanted with the boyz' costumes...

I put Scruffy back in his tutu and told him to jete, but he jeted right off...wouldn't hold still for the snaps...

I think he's wearin' that tutu rather low...boyz have no bums....

So I decided to go in another direction...

He doesn't seem much happier in a dead chicken costume...

Come here, Scruffy, let me just adjust the fit...

You do look pretty stoopid....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAA...it's a DEMENTED CHICKEN TERRIER!

Sheesch....

Now that's one for the soup pot...is that a smirk I see?

Not much better luck with the big Dale...is this position even anatomically correct?

He does have a mushable face...even as a chicken....

Woe is Stanny....

Gimme that outfit...I'll show ya how it's worn....I've not modeled for nuthin'.....

Regal Lakeland...

Rather odd hat, though isn't it...maybe it's from London....

Tra la la la la la!!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYBODY!!!!!

SCRUFFY, LACIE AND STANNY!

Addendum....Asta's kitty friend, Gracie is having a puuuuurrrrrfect Halloweeners Pawty at her blog...TONS OF FOODABLES!!! Everyone is invited!!!!

How to Have a Trim Backside, Lacie Style!!!

2010-10-25T15:18:00.016-04:00

Now George, the Lad asked me this morning if my mom WAS HOLDING ME UP IN THE AIR for the pic I submitted for Twinkie's Show Me Your Bum Contest...

As if....

Now I've given interviews before on how I keep my derriere so trim...and I so emulate Miss Sunshade with her strong Muscular Backside....

In one sentence...YOU GOTTA WORK IT....

Sit back for a viewing of the Lacie doin' just that...

Gettin' some aire in the shower...so fab to bounce off the door!

Dryin' my fur post shower....back view...lookit my reflection in the mirror!

Fur dryin', side view....no strings, photoshop or ladders...just one muscle butt!

Other ways to exercise...my afternoon aerobic class....terrier style....

MOVE IT, I SAID MOVE IT, FECAL BREATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sheesch, he's slow....gonna give you a bit of a bite on the butt, Scruffy!

Lookit the Dale...some King of the Terriers...we know which breed rules the Terriers.....

All four paws in the aire....am also studying ballet in Paris...on the side...

A terrier's KEEN OF EYE....I'm keen alright...on chasin' my brothers...

HAHAHAHAHAAAA...another example of the graceless Dale.

I'm closin' in Scruffy! Lookit at how tight his paws are together...amazing he doesn't trip and fall flat on his foxy face....

WHAT? You are giving ME lip???? You will pay.....oh...and for the alert readers this is a classic example of how we Lakies run stiff legged...it's a prance...dog mom made me practice with empty paper towel rolls as a pup....

Move it, AIRE BREATH!!!!

A lady never sweats...just a bit of dew on my fur.....

Kisses,

Beastie Muscled Derriere Girlie

The FAKIE LAKIE!!

2010-10-17T11:33:00.013-04:00

Scruffy here....first the pic Stan and I submitted for Twink's tushie contest...yep, that Lacie gets some aire when she wants her mornin' hot carob with whipped cream....it's amazin' she can get that thing up there!!

You gotta see this...Mumsie ordered this kid on ebay last spring...cuz she looked like a fat Lakeland and had a purple nose....

Eric's mom fostered her and shipped her to us with the gentle comment that she didn't think the fat Lakie and her wheels had started life at the same time together...hmm....was she a FAKIE LAKIE?

This was taken at the Eric Square House...where is Eric? WAS HE LYIN' DOWN ON THE JOB?? Isn't that Unsteady Eddy, a bit more unsteady than usual?

Mumsie sent the Fat Lakie to Dr. Snitchybug's in I O WA...she can sew and fix anything....and she made a discovery...the Fat Lakie had a body MASK ON...she was a Fakie Lakie...underneath all that fake plush fur was a lovely Chiltern wheelie....made a long time ago...wonder what her story is? So she had a lovely makeover and came to live with us.....

OMD...Lacie has a Snitchybug original beaver fur stole...made from one of Papa Lamb's old beaver coats he found at a garage sale...Miss Enid has one just like it!!!

Lacie has her work cut out for her with this feisty girlie!!!

She even has plush accessories made out of her old FAKE COAT...complete with ears for a wonderful hat and a stole...hmm...so she can go IN DISGUISE????

Hoo Boy....what a lot of estrogen in this pic....

Oh no...Lacie is taking the formerly Fakie Lakie for a walk....

And with the temperatures dippin' she won't be cold in that stole....wraps are so IN!

Um...it seems Miss Fakie has appropriated Lacie's stole.....to use for a HAT!!!

But not for long!!! That Lacie is nuthin' if not stylin'...

It just gets weirder and weirder around here....

HIRED BY MANGO MOMMA; A Stinky Post!

2010-10-07T11:36:00.007-04:00

As some of you may know, the Mango Momma has had the sickies...and when she takes to her bed...let's just say there is a relentlessly hooge pileup in the backyardie!!

So Mango's momma called me...see how careful I'm being????

Managed to not even scoop up the RH.

Hmm....she didn't EXACTLY say where she wanted all of this...just that it better be GONE from the yard. Like yesterday.....

Customer Service is my MOTTO....

Any other dogs need help for those pesky yard piles?

Call Scruffy for all your needs...

Pawslaps,

Scruffman

Happy 10th Barkday, Butchy!!!

2010-10-03T12:34:00.002-04:00

Lacie here...yes, yes, I do look adorable...I got a new hat for the happy occasion of Butchy's barkday....we're all going to EAT CAKE and wish him well. Also Katie and I need to go shopping...that girlie has grown out of everything!!!

Butchy is going to celebrate his Barkday early, cuz he has to go to the vettie tomorrow and get some lumpies removed...I'm just going to stay on and nurse him...I am very sure that my nursing instructors, Aggie and Asta will permit me to wear this new purple nursing cap...versatile, isn't it!

I made this delectable cake of an airplane for us to bring along. One can never have TOO MUCH CAKE or BUTTERCREAM FROSTING!!

Happy Barkday, dear Boy!!!

We totally love ya!!!

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanny

Lacie Emulates the Mango...by Scruffy and Stan

2010-09-12T12:26:00.012-04:00

Scruffy and Stan here...Mango is havin' this contest on why a dog is just like him. Or likes him. Or somethin'. So we boyz are entering Lacie...here's an old pic of her tryin' to peek up his skirt.

Now the RH has so many attributes it's impossible for any one dog to have them all. So we'll focus on just a few. Lacie drools. Oh, does she drool. Usually it's about high end shoes and stuff. But sometimes it's just spontaneous. Lookit that beard.

See what happens when she's havin' a drooling attack and she shakes....Stan's flabergasted. So little a Lakie...so much SPIT.

The big Dale tries to imitate...but not with the same pristine effect.

LOOK AT HER! All those suds WASHED OFF HER MAKEUP! She's soaked. And smells. Sorta like a Mastiff.

And now we move on to the ablility of the Lakeland to

MEDITATE.....

First, she assumes a flexible position. Lacie is nuthin' if not flexible.

Doesn't this pic remind you off the RH showing his parts? Lookit that wild demented expression.

Lacie has obviously passed into a deep trance. With her teeth showing.

I dunno bout this one......

She's pretty flexible like the Mango.

But this next pic reminds us the most of the Relentless Hooge.

It pretty much sez it all.

FRIGHTENING, ISN'T IT?

Nuff Said,

Scruffman and Stanley

Of Puppies and Weddings.....

2010-09-05T14:16:00.007-04:00

Hey...you guys know Baylee? Bruvver and Auntie Sus's dog? The one who FAKED her nursing credentials and went in and nursed Daddy in the hospital? Yes, this is a pic of her her from one day when I showed her how to dig like a terrier. She was a pretty quick learner...

Well, guess what...she's gettin a little sissy!!!! Actually, I'm opposed to the whole thing, but I suppose I'll get used to another poopy-cocker um cock-a-poo around here that I can chew on. Just so I DON'T have to diaper.

Thought I'd show you a pic of ME when I was a baby.

Cute huh? Dunno why I had that electric fence collar on in the nursery.

Here's my new step sister, niece or what ever she is at three weeks.

I know...she's like adorable. Lacie sighs....she detests being out-adorabled. She's comin to da Burgh the week after hooman sissy's ie Cat Woman's wedding.....

The wedding is in three weeks....this is my motto concerning that!! And Mumsie's. She's only getting a bit frantic!

Kisses,

Lacie Cupcakes!

Pee ess...that header pic of Mango dancin' in the Nutcracker is a classic...I found it in an old issue of People.....

Where's the Beef??????

2010-08-28T21:10:00.003-04:00

Oh my...it's been forever since we've updated. Um...well, before I digress, how do you think my profile looks in this pic? I'm tryin' a new rinse on my furs with Golden Highlights and I think I have a lot more body, don't ya think? "What, Mango? I just set myself up?" Huh? Dunno what the RH is flappin' bout now.....

So um there might have been a little incident at Bark in the Park last week. Mumsie and I went by ourselves for some Mumsie/Lacie Quality time. And she had a new collar on me....and to say I didn't like it would be an understatement.

This hoooooooooooooooooooge Golden gets right up in my grill....no, not this puppy, but a full grown creature who musta whispered somethin' bout my mother. Besides, she had some lovely highlights, that I wanted.

Evidently, I didn't respond "in an appropriate fashion," cuz Mumsie and I went to a one on one training class this week. (And yes, the Golden squealed like a big cry baby...tattle tale....)

Mumsie here....I'm pretty sure there is a WANTED poster up at the park with Lacie's face on it. She seems to have removed more than a bit of fur from the Golden. I wanted to dig a hole and crawl in it.

I wasn't happy. Till I saw what I had to do....

Amy, the trainer, brought out this hooooooooge carob Lab who was so fat he looked stuffed. All I had to do was LOOK at the Lab, and make eye contact with Amy. And not REACT.

AND THEN I GOT THIS. Well, not the whole thing, but little bits of it...ROAST BEEF.

I decided then and there to de-fur every Golden I see from now on if it means class and ROAST BEEF.

Life is good. And never dull around here!!

Kisses,

Lacie Beef er Beastie!!!
