A Pre-Memorial Day Tradition: Timing Belt or Siberian Husky?

Once again I am posting a "re-run" edition of the World of Turbo. This entry is a repeat of one that I posted 3 years ago and a year before that.

On Sunday of Memorial Day weekend in 1999, my Human was driving her car around noon and the timing belt broke.



On Saturday of Memorial Day weekend in 2000, my Human decided that Lex needed a friend. She went to the local animal shelter. She originally thought that she wanted to get a female, but none of them appealed to her. She then saw a dog labeled "Cochise." She liked him a lot, so she adopted him. Cochise became Misha Meep. (Below is Meepie's first photo after he came home.)

One year later on Memorial Day weekend 2001, my Human went to the local Farmer's Market and the animal shelter had an information booth. The woman who had handled Meep's adoption was working. My Human thanked her for helping out with Meepie. The woman said that the shelter had a red husky that they were calling Blaze. My Human decided to go over to "look" at the husky and to get information to help find him a home. She visited several times. No one was adopting Blaze, so my Human decided that if he was still there on Wednesday, she would adopt him. He was still there, so on Friday Fargo North Dogkota became a member of the family. (Below is the first photo of Fargo.)


My Human did not get a new Husky during Memorial Day weekend 2002. But that Sunday afternoon around noon her timing belt broke. This was especially stupid because her car had a rebuilt engine put in on the previous Thursday, but the mechanics put the used timing belt on her engine.


Since then my Human has not had to replace any timing belts and she has not added any Huskies during Memorial Day weekend. Now she tries not to drive anywhere at noon on the Sunday before Memorial Day.

Ear

I like to lick Fargo's ear. Sometimes I lick it because he has an ear infection. Sometimes I lick it when I am upset about something. Other times I lick it because I just plain want to.

Fargo doesn't necessarily like me to lick his ear, though. But I don't let that stop me. You might be able to tell by this picture that Fargo is thinking "Stop cleaning my ear!"

My Human doesn't like me to lick Fargo's ear, either. I don't want to let that stop me. But sometimes she forces me to stop.

Humans are stupid.

Sit Down Meal

woo!
This is how Fargo decided to eat his dinner tonight:

Pool Filling Time

woo!
Today is the day we all look forward to: It is pool filling day!

Here are 2 pictures of me:




Here is Roo Roo eating the water:


And here is Meepie:


(Please note that Fargo & Lex did not participate.)

Huskies Win!

woo!

It's a good week for huskies. First, Dubs the U of Washington mascot is takes 1st place in the 2010 NCAA competition. And then the woman basketball huskies of Connecticut win 1st place in the 2010 NCAA woman basketball competition! I think these are signs of my victory for US Congress in the Fall. Woooo!

Here is a picture of all of us (except for Lex) celebrating the husky victories:

Morgul as the Friendly Drelb

woo!

I looked through a bunch of old pictures that I don't think I have featured on my blog.

Here's me:


Here's the nose of Fargo:


It's Rooie:


The Meep:


And Lex:

Pippen Tagged Me

woo!

The lovely and talented Pippen of Pippin's Gentle Blog tagged me. Here's what this game is about: You go to your computer archives and then go to the 6th folder and pick the 6th picture and then post it along with the story behind it.

Look! It was all of us at the time, sort of:



Rooie is in the left side of the picture. Fargo is on the carpet, closest to Rooie. I'm using Fargo's leg as a pillow. Part of Lex is in the upper right corner. Meepie's hiney and snooter is in the lower right corner.

I don't know why my Human took this picture. Perhaps it was a poor attempt to get all 5 of us in the picture. Or, more likely, she just thought I looked cute resting my head on Fargo.

Now I'm tagging 6 bloggers:

Khyra
My cousin Sitka, niece Cornelia Marie, and their cat (who I'm not related to)
Holly, my niece Khady Lynn, and the rest of the pack
Ender the Eskie
Mary-Margaret O'Brien
Maya-Marie

Woo to one and all!

It's Snow Fun

woo!

So it snowed. Not enough, mind you. But I'll take what I can get. My Human was able to leave work early so she could play with us and take pictures.

If you click on this picture, you can see me, Rooie, Meepie, and Fargo better:


This is what Lex was doing. He's a loner.


The snow wasn't very deep. But we were able to stick our snooters in the snow:






Here's what my face looked like after I good done:

What's Going On

woo!

My Human is stupid. She joined that Facebook website. She's busy reconnecting with old (and I do mean OLD) friends. Mostly band toots from back in her high school days. And my Human doesn't even talk about me and my campaign!

So, I'm sure you are all wondering what I am doing this weekend. I will be working on what I will be saying in my upcoming debate with the stupid D. Animal that lives with us.

The only good thing that is going on in my house is that my Human has had a cold, so there are a lot tissues for us.

Fun At Home

woo!

We had a lot of fun at home this evening. Here's a picture of 4 of us.



Maybe you were wondering where Misha was. He was playing hide & Meep:



Roo Roo is a lot of fun to chase:



Meepie and Fargo looked for something:



Then Lex and Fargo looked for something else:



Rooie ran towards the camera:



I ran away from the camera:



I ended my romp with a quick trip to the pool:

Also Not Me

woo!

Joke

woo!

My Human baked some peanut butter cookies last night. But she had to go and ruin them with chocolate chips. That made me think of my favorite joke I ever told. Fargo is the comedian of our house, but I've been known to tell a joke. Here you go...

KNOCK. KNOCK.

WHO'S THERE?

HUMANS.

HUMANS WHO?

HUMANS ARE STUPID!

Japanese Name Game Thing

woo!

Here's the info:

My good bud Thor tagged me for a new game. It's easy and fun for most dogs--you spell out your name in Japanese, using this key:

A - ka, B - tu, C - mi, D -te, E - ku, F - lu, G - ji, H - ri, I - ki, J - zu, K - me, L - ta, M - rin, N - to, O - mo, P - no, Q - ke, R - shi, S - ari, T - chi, U - do, V - ru, W - mei, X - na, Y - fu, Z - zi

I'm not doing me. If you want to find out why I'm not, you can go ahead and do it yourself. Here are the others' names:










If any of woo want to do this game and haven't yet, go ahead and enjoy yourself!
