2 of Roo

.

Okay, so I goofed on my last blog entry and featured a picture of me. I'm now going to feature 2 photos of the Roo Dog.



Labels

.

I made my Human update each of my blog entries with labels. It was too tedious for me to do myself. So now, for example, if you want to see all of my entries where I mention destruction, all you have to do is search for that term.

Roo Roo said that I haven't featured a picture of her lately, so please see below:

Party Animal

.

Just a quick note. For the record, I am not a Republican nor a Democrat. I am a proud member of a new and exciting political party. I am a Dogmacrat.

What is Good Turbo Weather?

.

Yesterday I noticed that someone got to my site by searching for what is good turbo weather. I've never specifically answered that question, so I thought I should address this. (All candidates should answer questions that they are asked.)

1. Cold
2. More cold
3. Snow
4. More snow
5. Cold snow
6. More cold snow
7. Snow that is cold
8. More snow that is cold

I hope I cleared this up. By the way, it's currently about 9 degrees Fahrenheit (or 260.3722222 kelvin or -12.7777778 degree Celsius).

Blue Sky

.

Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see


Right after I announced my candidacy, I heard on the news that John Kerry decided not to run. Coincidence? I think not!

BTW, Happy Australian Day to all!

Because humans are under the impression that 1 human year equals 7 dog years I have decided that when I'm president, there will be 7 times as many holidays as there currently are. That way we can rightfully acknowledge Corn Dog Day, Underwear Day, Pie Day, and all the other worthwhile holidays.

I'm going to end my post now. I'm embarking on a fact finding mission in the kitchen. I hope to discover a new source of peanut butter.

I Want You!

.

Thanks to the help of C-Bux, I am unveiling my first campaign posters.

I appreciate all the help and support I've gotten so far. Of course, this will be a long and boring campaign. But it's not my fault! The stupid human politicians got an early start on the road to the White Dog House.

One of my first campaign promises is that my speeches will be only a couple minutes long. Who wants to listen longer than that anyway?

And at the end of my speeches everyone will be able to have cheese and bacon.

Behind the Scenes

.

While I was working on my announcement speech, this is what was going on in my house: Lex found a bone and Roo Roo tried to persuade him to give it to her.



She was not successful.

I'm In!

.

I'm in. And I'm in to win.

Today I am announcing that I will form an exploratory committee to run for president.

And I want woo to join me not just for the campaign but for a conversation about the future of Dogcountry -- about the bold but practical changes we need to overcome six thousand years of human failures.

I am going to take this conversation directly to the dogs of Dogcountry, and I'm starting by inviting all of woo to join me in a series of wooo-ins over the next few days.

The stakes will be high when dogs a new president in 2008.

As a Siberian husky, I will spend two years doing everything in my power to limit the damage humans can do. But only a dog will be able to undo human's mistakes and restore our hope and optimism.

Only a dog can renew the promise of Dogcountry -- the idea that if woo work hard woo can count on the vet care, dog school and treats that woo need to raise your dog family. These are the basic values of dog world that are under attack from the humans every day.

And only a new president of the canine variety can regain Dogcountry's position as a respected leader in the dog world.

I believe that change is coming November 4, 2008. And I am forming my exploratory committee because I believe that together we can bring the leadership that Dogcountry needs. I'm going to start this campaign with a national conversation about how we can work to get Dogcountry back on track.

This is a big election with some very big questions. How do we bring the war with cats to the right end? How can we make sure every dog has access to adequate vet care? How will we ensure our puppies inherit a clean yard and rides in cars? How can we reduce the deficits in our humans' pocketbooks that threaten treats and toys?

No matter where woo live, no matter what your political views, I want woo to be a part of this important conversation right at the start. So to begin, I'm going to spend the next several days answering your questions that woo ask me.

Starting today, I'll sit down to answer your questions about how we can work together for a better future. And woo can participate at my blog.

I grew up in a middle-class family in the middle of America, where I learned that we could overcome every obstacle we face if we work together and stay true to our values.

I have worked on issues critical to Dogcountry almost all my life. I've fought for puppies for more than 3 years. In Missouri, I pushed for dog school reform. As a Siberian husky, I helped to expand vet care coverage to millions of puppies and to pass legislation that dramatically increased adoptions. I also traveled to Iowa to affirm that dogs' rights are better than human rights.

And in the Senate, I have worked across party lines to get billions more for puppies' vet care, to stop the humans' plan to privatize treat distribution, and to make sure that dogs in uniform receive the fair treatment they deserve. In 2006, I led the successful fight to make contraception available to bitches (and I mean that in the true sense of the word) without a prescription.

I have spent a lifetime opening opportunities for tens of millions who are hard working dogs to raise a family: new immigrant dogs, dogs living in poverty, dogs who have no vet care or face an uncertain retirement.

The promise of Dogcountry is that all of us will have access to opportunity, and I want to run a 2008 campaign that renews that promise, a campaign built on a lifetime record of results.

I have never been afraid to stand up for what I believe in or to face down the human political machine. After nearly $70 million spent against my campaigns in Dogstate and two landslide wins, I can say I know how Washington humans think, how they operate, and how to beat them.

I need woo to be a part of this campaign, and I hope you'll start by joining me in this national conversation.

As we campaign to win the White Dog House, we will make history and remake our future. We can only break barriers if we dare to confront them, and if we have the determined and committed support of others.

This campaign is our moment, our chance to stand up for the principles and values that we cherish; to bring new ideas, energy, and leadership to a uniquely challenging time. It's our chance to say `we can' and `we will.'

Let's go to work. Dogcountry's future is calling us. Woooo!

Snow, Again!

.

It snowed about 4 inches. We waited for my Human to open the gate to the big field.


I got to run around.


Fargo got to look like a Malamute.


Roo Roo got to run.


And run...


Meeps got to trudge through the snow


Even Lex was happy.


I didn't get any pictures of Niki 'cause she doesn't like having her picture taken.

Husky Logo #44

.

Today I'm featuring the Frankford Huskies, a Senior "A" Huskies Hockey Club in Frankford, Ontario. I've never been to Frankford, Ontario and I've never played hockey. It seems to me that the huskies who do play hockey are very angry. I'm sometimes very angry. Maybe I should take up hockey!

Speaking of "angry huskies," more than a few searchers have arrived at my blog while searching for that term. Hmmmmmmn...

Roo Roo Was Stupid!

.

Here's a picture of Roo Roo telling Lex how she was stupid. Last night Roo caught a mouse in the kitchen. She brought it to the living room and dropped it. Mouse ran away. Roo caught it again in the hall closet. She brought it to the bedroom and dropped it again. And, yes, once again the mouse ran away. This time for good.

Title?

.


When I was just a little guy, my Human worked with some people who had a Great Dane. My Human took me over to play because she thought that she could get some cute pictures. She was hoping that she could get a picture of me underneath Haley 'cause she thought that this would be especially cute. Of course I'm cute in any situation.

The weather people are forecasting snow for us this weekend. Maybe up to 3 inches. I'm happy to read that so many of my blogging buddies are having lots of white stuff on the ground! Woooo!

We don't have much snow here...just a dusting, but we do have more than an inch of white ice on the ground.

Fargo's foot is much better. He said thank woo to all of you with your concerns and suggestions. My Human is still achy from her fall. Do you think it'd help if we stuck a cone around her head?

Fargo's Foot

.

Fargo has a sore foot. He won't let me take care of it, though. He's been licking one of his pads a rear paw and now it is raw. So he's limping. Poor Cowboy.

My Human is okay from her fall, but she's still a bit achy.

I'm fine, though. And that's all that really matters.

Zero!

.

Ha-wooo! The weather is delightfully cold. It's zero degrees Fahrenheit outside! Wooo!

Our driveway is basically an ice flow. My Human fell on it last night. She's okay but she's a bit achy.

In honor of the fact that the temperature is zero, I'm featuring a picture of Lex.

Rain, Rain, Stupid Rain!

.

Friday night there was ice. Saturday there was ice. Sunday there was rain! We didn't get any snow. Just rain. My Human (who is stupid) was happy that it rained and didn't snow (or ice). She's selfish. She didn't take our feelings into consideration.

It's in the twenties now and it's supposed to get colder. That is a good thing, but still no snow!!!!

I don't know whose fault this is, if anyones. But of course I'm pointing my paw at Lex and also at cats. I think there is enough blame to go around.

In other news...there was a stupid mouse underneath the bedroom heating element. Roo Roo kept her eye on it all night.

Ice, but No Snow!

.

So, we don't have any snow. We just have this ice like substance that is white like snow. I guess it's sleet or something. To the credit of the weather forecasters, they didn't say that we'd get snow yet. But we are supposed to get some snow today some time.

My Human had to go into her office for basically no reason yesterday. And she's going to go in for a couple minutes for no reason today. I don't understand humans concept of work. I really don't.

Husky Logo #43

.

Today's husky logo is for a Quebec hockey team--Huskies de Rouyn-Noranda.

Now, my French isn't very good. All I can say is "yes," "no," and "grapefruit." So I'll leave the reading of this website to you, my dear readers.

Ice, Ice Baby

.

The stupid weather guys are saying that we will be getting an ice storm this weekend. I'd prefer snow, but I guess I don't have a choice. As a result, we may lose power. I'll have to snuggle with my Human to make sure I don't get too cold! ha!

We have a new husky blogger in our midst, too. Please stop by and visit Mr. Frodo K. Banks fine blog It's a Fo Fo'd World Out There.

I don't have any new pictures of me to share today, so I'm pasting on a picture of Meepie.

"how do i get my turbo apart"

.

Someone reached my blog by searching on Yahoo! for the terms "how do i get my turbo apart." Not only do I not know anything about that, but I definitely don't like the sound of it!!!!!

Have I mentioned that humans are stupid? Here's three humans who are currently stupid: Rosie O'Donnell, Donald Trump, & Barbara Walters. If they weren't into the publicity angle, I think one of them would just say that the whole feud was stupid and not continue it. Of course by saying this, Donald Trump will probably sue me now.

And why is there now a TV show in the United States called "Ego Trip's (White) Rapper Show" Shouldn't there also be shows called something like "The Next [Insert a different race here]Something or Other?"

By the way, the weather people are declaring that it may ice on Saturday and snow on Sunday. We'll see...We'll see...

And finally, please stop by and say hi to Franki! She's the newest husky blogger. And she's cute, too!

My Human Was Mean!

On Being Annoying...

.

I admit that I enjoy being annoying. I know that Meepie gets upset when I stare at him. So, of course, I stare at him! I know that if Meeps is sitting next to my Human on the couch that I can stare at him and he'll get off of the couch. Then I can get on the couch, myself! The picture on the left is of me staring at Meepie on Sunday. Shortly after the picture was taken, Meeps got off the couch. Note: that is my Human's curled up leg in the lower right corner.

In the mornings my Human sometimes wants to sleep after I decide it's time to get up. So I've learned that the best way to make her get up is to walk all over her. I kind of use her body as a balancing beam and walk up and down her.

We Like to Watch

.

Yesterday my Human turned on the Incredible Dog Challenge and let us watch it. Roo Roo and I enjoyed it very much!

I'm Tuberaham Lincoln!

In other news, stop by and wish Meeshka a happy birthday. She got the greatest gift ever!

Resolutions & Predictions

.

Resolutions:

  1. Steal more food from my Human
  2. Yell at Lex
  3. Yell at cats
  4. Don't let Roo Roo steal my treats
  5. Meet many of my blogging friends


----------------
Psychic T-Wolf Predictions

  3. Some blogging doggie will be a gazillion dollars richer
  4. Cats will be outlawed

Stay Tuned!

.

I'll be back later today with my resolutions and psychic pronouncements. I must go into my trance for a while...zzzzzzzzz...

Brussel Sprouts

.

On of my Human's goals for 2007 was that she would eat more Brussel Sprouts. She didn't like them, but thought she should probably eat them. That's just one more thing that's stupid about humans. Why force yourself to eat something if you don't like it?

Who knows? Who cares?

Anyway, last night she got a take home dinner from the grocery store that she refers to as "rich person's grocery store." She noticed they had the sprouts available, so she felt forced to bring some home. This time she didn't hate them as much as previously. And she shared some with all of us (except Lex). We all enjoyed them also. (Lex didn't get any 'cause he was outside doing something else.)

Tune in tomorrow for my resolutions (thanks Ivy for tagging me). And I'm also going to give my psychic projections for 2007. I never tried to be psychic before, but I realized that humans spend a lot of money and time listening to them, so why not?

Medical Care

.

My friend Fargo had a scab on his head. I don't remember what caused it. But because I'm training under Dr. Meepenstein to be a practitioner of the medical arts, I've been working on Fargo:



For some reason both he and my Human have been trying to discourage me.

Discrimination!

.

I read an article today with a certain amount of hope in my heart. It was about a hotel chain that offered massages for dogs. Great!!!!! But as I got deeper into this article I read this:

Figure in the hotel's 20-pound weight limit


That's stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I've decided to ignore that (for now). I'm moving on...

Meeshka has a good idea about how we need to be nicer to people--especially those who don't have animal friends. She said this is how we should dominate the world. I think that is a good idea. Yesterday I snuck away and changed my town's gas prices. All that did was cause anger.
