Partridges, Poopsicles and Pear Trees.......

Scruffy here...Lacie's ticked. She went to write our DWB's cardies...and found Mumsie STILL has to pick them up from Walmart. She said Walmart must love our order as they've had it for over a week now. Hmm...

Here's Lac on top of the ornament box...um...aren't those ornaments supposed to be ON the tree??? Seems like we're a tad behind this year....

Lookie...took this in our back yardie this mornin'...Pretty, huh? Ya don't need ornaments to make a tree all fancy!

Ahh...the hills of Western Pennsylvania...makes for pretty viewin', if NOT fun drivin'.....

Another handsome view this mornin'!

Look at this muzzle...wouldn't want one of Stan's Big Nose Pokies with that frozen beard juice!!!

Does Lacie always look irritated or is my 'magination?

Look at me...I'm practicin' my ballet moves like Mango...actually my footsie was cold cuz there was ice stuck in the pad.....

BRRRRRR!!!

Pear Tree in Winter....sounds like a paintin'....

OMD....only Mumsie would spend hours searchin' the internet for a stuffed partridge to put in the pear tree....$6.00...a bargain....handsome dude, isn't he? I got a hold of him once when I was a pup...heh heh heh......

MMMMM....huntin' poopsicles....found one! (Funny how spellcheck doesn't recognize the gourmet delicacy of poopsicles....it keeps yellowin' 'em out....wrong color, too....)

That d#%n bird passed out watchin' me scrounge for poopsicles??? Sheesch....







Lacie sez if you've been to Mango's blog...don't believe a wordie of it...that he's actually OBSESSED with HER!!!!! Nuff Said....

Reportin' Barks...

Jumpin' For Joy and Stuck Again!!!

WAHOOOOOOOO!!! I am jumpin' for JOY!!!! Sweet Molly and Taffy nominated this pic of me doin' fur-dryin' aerobics for Photo of the Month for November...AND IT WON!!!!!!!!! Thank you ever so much, Molly and Taffy for nominatin' me and thanks to all of those who voted!!!!! You guys ROCK!!!!

Hey...lookie at this pic of Babystan taken last winter shortly after he came here to live!

Now lookie at this pic! Guess what...this one is NOT STAN!!! It's Murphy...Stan's cousin! Murphy just came to Pittsburgh to live....yeppers, another Dale in the area related to Stanny!!!! Don't they look alike!! Stan met Murph at a fundraiser this past weekend at his daycare.

Look at the boyz together...Stan's givin' Murphy's new mom a big kissie!! Murph looks like he thinks that's hilaireous!!

Doin' some butt sniffin'...Murphy is about 4 months old.....

But capable of makin' a rather big puddle....!!!!!

Only 28 lbs of Dale...Mumsie never saw Stan when he was this little.....

Oopsie...how did this pic get in here...it's Mumsie with 5 week old Scruffy...and she still has the same coat...she said it's Land's End, and that ya can't kill 'em...they last forever.

Scruffy's such a little pip there, isn't he!!! Look at him smilin'!!

HO HUM....well...I've been ignorin' the whole stuck under the deck issue....I thank you all for your words of concern regarding my welfare. BUT....

I, well...um...ahem...hmmm....GOT STUCK UNDER THERE AGAIN THIS MORNING.

Scruffy came under to visit me...and showed me how to get out....(and I always thought that wire foxy wasn't the sharpest crayon in the box, too....) We were um...solid black with goo and mud when we came out...Mumsie got to bathe us all over again....

I'm thinkin' I might be seein' this kinda truck in our driveway again soon (Mumsie here...very soon!)....I'm getting the general impression that we may not be going under the deck anymore....Mumsie said somethin' bout three baths a day X three dogs isn't gonna cut it this winter....sheesh...you'd think she has a life or somethin'!!!!!!

STUCK...VERY STUCK!!!!!!!!!

Go to ground, Lacie??? This is Stanley....Lacie's sleepin' now...it's been a tough night for the little birdbrain. Couple of days ago, she got this bright idea to dig a hole under the deck.

Yep...it goes waaaaaay under there. Um...I like to chase her and I think she may have started this excavation so she could hide from me...I'm too big to fit under there. Mumsie filled the hole back in....but Lacie redug it. And....

We had a little INCIDENT tonight. Click on this pic to enlarge....Yeppers...Lac got stuck in her own hole...trapped like a rat. Look at her little face stickin' out.... totally pathetic.

She was shiverin'...that's snow on the ground...and it was late...like 10PM....and very dark.

She was sobbin' and cryin'....Mumsie had the flashlight and a bag of shredded cheese...didn't matter...she was trapped and couldn't dig herself back out.

Daddy sighed about 500 times...he was watchin' Monday Night football, by the fire...now he has to dig a hole under the deck in the cold and dark. Mumsie said it was like when that little girl fell in the well...she was going to call the tv camera dudes, but figured she'd just better hold the flashlight and shout soothin' things to stoopid Lacie.

Lacie was growlin' and bitin' at the shovel...she let Daddy pull her out where all three of us got into a fight over the bag of cheese!!!

I let her get some...I felt sorta 'sponsible for the whole thing...guess I shouldn't chase her under there doin' mad aire snappies....

Look at the dirty sack of potatoes Daddy dragged in!

Mumsie had to give Lac a bath...here we are helpin' her to dry off by the fire!

Scruffy came over and sat on her...he hates it when anyone else is on the peeps' laps!!!

NO FAIR!!! Lacie has a hooge mug of hot carob drink...(additives???) with whipped cream on top!!!

She's guzzlin' that whipped cream....

And what a pawsome mug!! She's sleepin' now in her crate...I really hope she's not gonna do this whole thing again tomorrow!!!

Hula Hoops and Santa Paws!

Scruffy here...Lacie's grounded for wearin' that outfit that showed her tummy (and everything else)...oh...Mumsie caught her practicin' those belly moves...that didn't 'xactly help her case.

Speakin' of "moves" check me out with my new favorite toy...my hula hoop. Actually, it's our old tug toy, but you can use it as a hula hoop. It's sorta hard to pee and um well hula!

It's also darn easy to get caught in the deer fence with it on.....

Look at us all fuzzy, warm and toasty. Bet you can guess what's comin'....

Yep...we got dragged....

To the groomers for some of that nasty strippin' stuff....Sigh...we all smell like roses...YUK!

Oh...check out our new header photo...we spoke to Santa Paws and gave him our list! (Doesn't it look like Santa has Lacie by the throat? Petey noticed it...Santa surely knows who's naughty and who is nice, huh???)

Santa Paws! If it's not too much trouble, we'd like

1. Peace...

2. Compassion...

3. Joy...

4. and Love!!!

5. Oh, & we'd like our fur back, please, if that would be ok???

Foxy reportin'...

Belly Wigglin'!

Oh my!!! After all that excitement in Boston, things are still busy around here!!! Karl is throwing Ruis a surprise birthday party over at the Cat Realm today....everyone is invited and I can tell you the foodables would even fill Mango's tummy!!!! DELISSSH!

My sweet Opus asked if he could escort me to the pawty...of course I said yes...he's such a gentleman!!!!!

I heard there was going to be belly dancin' so I whipped this outfit up on my sewing machine....sewing is NOT my favorite hobby, but I thought it would do...you should see Asta's costume...hot hot hot!!!!! Scruffy said somethin' bout me lookin' like a I Dream of Jeanie rerun....GRRRRR!

Speakin' of Asta, she and her Gooberboy rode with Opus and me on that crazy magic carpet...I had no idea you had to balance. Oh...and it's NOT a good idea to work the blender while on the carpet...we were rather um dangerously tilted at one point!

Opus presented me with this boootifully wrapped package upon our arrival!

OH MY!!!!!!!! It's made of the finest silk! And I thought Versace was revealin'! I asked Asta if this was too um leggie, but she assured me this is the latest fashion in belly dance attire!

Thank you ever much sweet Opus for escorting me here and giving me gifts!

You are the sweetest kitty ever!!!

Stop by the Cat Realm today and see the fun...plenty of exotic foodables to enjoy too!!!

Belly wiggles..

Roasted Chestnuts...the Last Word!.

Ahhh...how could we forget this photo of Sweet Relentlessly Hooge floatin' round in the ballet???

Or this one? Um...for those of you who may have been to Mango's blog, I fear he did not quite give you an accurate portrayal of WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AT THE BALLET.

Yes...I did dive through the orchestra pit to get to the stage...but there was a REASON!!!

I did bark and bark; I was tryin' to give Mango a warning!

That his PANTS er tu tu was on FIRE! Seems the Relentless Hooge gets nervous in MJ's presence. And for those who know and love him...when RH gets nervous, he um expresses flatus...as in FARTS! There was a little spark from one of the toy soldiers windin' up....

and a small 'splosion.... I yipped and yipped till the sprinklers went off, and directed the fire extinguisher till Jack Frost nipped at Mango's door...He tossed his flaming tu tu off and roached around on stage till the fire was out. Mango was uninjured (cept for his pride) and the 1928 Boston Opera House was saved from fire.

The city was greatful and presented me with this trophy.

Which I humbly accepted. (Looks a lot like somethin' to do with some kinda Souper Bowl. I'm pretty sure the city has a lot of these things anyway...it'll be good to get this thing back in Pittsburgh!)

They gave me a parade....

With regret, I leave to go back to PA. Nuff said, Mango??????? Truce?

Crackin' Nuts..Part 3

Ahh...the continuing saga of my so called Mango Date. Saturday mornin' (after the Runnin' of the Errands...see Mango's blog for me eatin' his car cookie...oh yummers!) we girls set off for the Prudential Center for some much needed retail therapy.



That Agatha HAD TO STOP AT STARBUCKS. Look at her bloggie...in how many pictures is she napping? Once she got her paws around that hot cup of coffee she became almost hooman...er at least awake. (Oh...ignore the Starbuck's sign...Mango hung those horrid Lacie creatures all over Boston...I really don't find them all that amusing.)

I rummaged in Agatha's suitcase for a nosecara and found she carries these for caffeine emergencies...sheesh...

Ah...the Pru Center....it was FAB!!! I am not SHOPLIFTING in this pic...MJ was makin' 'nuff racket to attract every guard's attention in the Northeast....Aggie sees a store she wants to check out and Maggie just rolls her eyes and looks heavenward. BTW, you dogs would NOT believe how much effort goes into her beard care EVERY DAY! Gels, mousse, curlers, straighteners...OMD!

THEN GUESS WHAT!?! We girls were approached by some people doin' a Project Runaway fashion show right in the middle of the mall!!!!

They wanted us to model Versace!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, my BFF, Asta always sez if you wear Versace you should make sure it's not trashie lookin' but tasteful....

So we made it tasteful all right!!!!!

Yeppers...we smeared this yummy imported Skippy peanut butter ALL OVER THOSE DRESSES....I almost ripped Maggie's to shreds gettin' it all off!!!!!

I have NO IDEA why the Project Runaway people were so mad! They started chasin' us so we just um shall we say Skippied right outta there......

Off to the Ballet! Check out Mango's blog...he's version of our date is just hilarious. Haha.
