Meep Is In Another Room

Dr. Misha Meepenstein. 1999 - May 17, 2012

When I came home for the first time as a extremely cute puppy in 2003, I met the Meep for the first time. He let me know that he was the boss of the pack. I thought to myself "for now." A couple months later, I ran around the room getting in each dog's face, yelling at each dog. Meep was the last one I got to. As soon as I yelled at him, he knocked me over. I quickly scooted to the other side of the room and looked in that mad dog's direction. I stomped my foot at him and yelled, "Oh yeah?!"

Another couple of months later I was losing my puppy teeth. I had one tooth that stubbornly refused to come out. It was wiggly, but wanted to stay in there. My Human was concerned but decided to wait for nature to run its course. Nature came in the form of Dr. Meepenstein who pinned me down and worked on the tooth until it fell out.

I didn't always get along with Meepie because he was the boss and I wanted to be the boss. But over the past few months I knew that he wasn't as strong as he had been. So I (more or less) was gentler with him. And I even sometimes snuggled near him.

Meepie often would go off to be by himself in another room. In fact I heard a story that before I moved in my pack was living in a room with a basement. Meeps went downstairs to be by himself. My Human noticed the door was shut, so she opened it. The Meep ran upstairs quickly to reshut the door for the privacy he wanted. So, I prefer to think of Meeps as being in another room and eventually all of us will barge in and find him there.

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.

You Can Vote For The Meep

woo!
Dr. Misha Meepenstein was kind enough to give me a shout out on his Facebook page, so I am returning the favor. This picture of Meepie is up for voting on the Purina site. You can vote by clicking on it.

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.)

Getting Along

woo!
I get along with Rooie. She likes to rough house.


But you can tell that I'm not at all impressed with what Meepie is telling me.

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:

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:

Sunday Activities

woo!









It's living above the ceiling of our deck!!!!!!!

Skull

woo!

Meepie brought a stupid no-possum skull in to the living room to gnaw on. But my Human threw it away. I'm not sure how Meeps got the skull as it had been on the other side of the fence, where my Human tossed it over a year ago. My Human allowed bugs and other stupid animals to eat the no-possum meat way back then.

It's supposed to storm here tomorrow morning or something.

Not Pictures Of Me

woo!

I didn't blog this weekend because I didn't feel like it. I'm a Sibe, and I don't do what I don't want to do. I will tell you what I think about those human Democrats' Florida and Michigan primary votes. I don't care. Humans can easily make a mess of things when they don't let a dog help.

My Human bought a stupid noisy thing that she is using to knock down the tall grass in our bigger field we run around in. My Human has tried to hire humans to do the work for her, but unlike dogs, humans have a poor work ethic.



Here's Meepie:



Here's Roo Roo:
