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!

Album Tag

.

So the Army of 4 posted about a new, fun tag game. Here's the rules:

First, go to THIS website... the title of the first article that comes up is the name of your band!

Next, go to THIS website... look at the last quote on the page, the last 4 words of that quote are the name of your album!

Then, go to THIS website and look at the 3rd picture... that's the art for your album cover!

Okay, so the first one I pulled up didn't work for me. But because I'm such a generous guy, I gave it to Roo Roo. She's very proud of her band, Pink Collar Worker:



Then there's me and my band, Bull Point:

8!

.

This one goes out to M hyphen M O apostrophe B, who tagged me a while ago to list 8 Tubey facts.

..........1. Although I hate the Dyson and run away from it, the shop vac and the carpet shampooer doesn't phase me.

..........2. I have the loudest voice in our pack. Even louder than my Human!

..........3. I call my Human MY HUMAN because she's mine! I don't like when other dogs are getting her attention and I'll step in.

..........4. I got to yell at a cat yesterday!

..........5. My Human says I can be a jerk, but I'm really a sweet, lovable dog...when I'm alone with her!

..........6. I let Roo Roo boss me around usually.

..........7. I keep trying to lick Meepies eye, but it upsets him.

..........8. I like watching TV. Today I watched Columbo and I got to hear his Bassett Hound.

If anyone hasn't been tagged and wants to do this game, here are the rules:

Here's the rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. List eight (8) random facts about yourself.
3. Tag eight people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).
4. Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving them a comment on their blogs

I See!

.

Hey! How's everyone's weather? Ours is starting to be fantastic. We woke up this morning and the temperature was below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Wooooooooooooo! A while ago my good friend Bama nudged me to come up with my theme song. I'm still working on that. My Human frequently sings songs substituting words with our names (such as "Meepie Crack Corn).

An Interview With Tubes

.

I stopped by Joe Stains blog and found an opportunity to be interviewed by him. So here it is!

1. If you could have a human job, what would you do? Well, it's well known that I am running for President. But I don't know if that is the best answer. I think I'd want to be Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor. I keep trying to practice on Fargo's ears, but he won't let me.

2. What was your greatest tale of destruction? I'm not please to report that I am not a destructive dog with items. So, my answer will be that I've caused a bit of destruction to Lex. He survived, however.

3. What is your most favorite treat of all times! I love Beggin' Strips. But even better than that is stealing my Human's food out her her hand!

4. If you weren't a husky is there any other breed you'd like to be? I think I'll be a Border Collie because they are smart and they get to boss sheep around!

5. If you had to spend 24 hours with any dog with blog member, who would it be?! This is a toughy! There's so many good friends out there. But I'm going with my good friend Charlie the Big Dog, AKA C$. We would be 2 wild and crazy guys!!!

Thanks again for the interview Mr. Stains!

Here's the rules if you want me to interview you:

1. If you are interested in being interviewed, leave me a comment saying, 'interview me.'
2. I will respond by posting five questions for you. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your blog with a post containing your answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

Car and Nicknames

.

The lovely and talented Bama & the Army of 4 have tagged me to share the car that most fits my me-ness and my nicknames.

Okay! To the left is my car. It's named after me, so it's my car! The Porsche 911 Turbo! Wooo! The car is also known as the Porsche 930, so that's kind of like a nickname.

Middle Name Game

A while ago I was tagged to play the middle name game. I'm sorry, but I've forgotten who tagged me. My Human has been extra stupid lately, so my mind has been a bit distracted.

My full name is Huricane Akara Turbofire. I've decided to use Akara because it's the name in the middle.

A is for action, because I'm always on the go!

K is for Kongs, although I don't like them much.

A is for anger, because stupid things make me angry.

R is for rib bones, because they are fun to gnaw on.

A is for Alaska, because although I've never been there, I'd love to go!

7 Tubey Facts

.

As I mentioned in my last post, Tierre tagged me to list 7 things about me...

1. Meepie, Lex, and Fargo are all irritated at me. For some reason they don't like my attitude. They are all stupid!

2. I like walking on my Human. Especially when she's in bed. I like using her body as if it's a balancing beam.

3. I prefer to be near my Human than running around with the others in the big field. Sure, I'll run around in it for a while, but I'll go back in the house to be near my Human.

4. I live in a house in the country. A animal rescue group houses some of their cats out here. They have several in foster care, but some of them live here too. I don't get to see them, but I can sometimes smell them.

5. I usually don't like in between meal snacks.

6. I sleep on the bed with my Human more than the others. Sometimes Roo Roo does and sometimes Meepie does. Fargo will sleep on the couch with my Human, but he says the bed is too high for him.

7. Although I'm not particularly destructive, I do like stealing the oven mitt if my Human is careless with it. (She usually isn't.)

Name, Tag

.

Thanks for tagging me Holly, Kelsey & Smokey, and Steve, Kat, & Wilbur. I'll list my wants & unwants at the bottom of this posting.

A long time ago I posted a picture of the dog I was named after. My Human has friends who show Afghan hounds, and they had an Afghan named Turbo. My Human decided to name me after that dog. I think it's a cool name! Below is what he looked like:



I have the nickname of "Tubey" more of less after the mascot of a website my Human spends far too much time visiting called Television Without Pity. Tubey-mascot is shown below:



Now, on with the tag festivities...



Wants:

• snow
  
• alone time with my Human
  
• toilet paper tubes
  

Non-wants:

• Lex to get attention
  
• my Human to go to work
  
• hot weather
  

The Rules:The player of this game starts with "3 things he/she would love to get for Christmas", and then lists "3 things he/she definitely does not want to get for Christmas." Then, he/she tags 5 friends and lists their names. The ones who get tagged need to write on their blogs about their Christmas wishes, as well as state this rule clearly, then tag 5 more victims. And, the one who tags, needs to leave a comment that says, "You've been Christmas tagged!" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

I'm tagging Meepie, Roo Roo, Niki, that stupid Lex, and (whynot?) my Human. But they have to switch over to Beta before they can post! (sigh!)

Tagasaurus

.

So I've been tagged by Ivy, Althea, and Raisa. I have to list 5 things that make a good doggie friend. Here we go...

1. A good doggie friend will always rough house.

2. A good doggie friend will allow others to clean his ears.

3. A good doggie friend will not try to take your toilet paper tube when you are chewing on it.

4. A good doggie friend will let you get attention from your human friend when you need it.

5. A good doggie friend will have a blog.

I'm tagging my room mates: Lex, Misha, Fargo, Roo Roo, & Niki. They'll update their blogs when they have time to.

5 Weird Things About Me

I was tagged by Indy.

The player of this game starts with "5 weird things/habits about yourself." Then you tag 5 friends and list their names. Those who get tagged need to write on their blogs about their 5 weird things/habits, as well as state this rule clearly, then tag 5 more victims. Don't forget to leave your victim a comment that says "you're tagged!" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

5 Weird Things About Me

1. I don't like most treats. I'm okay with cereal and things that humans like, but I don't like dog treats! If someone gives me a dog treat, I won't eat it.

2. I don't like chewing on things. You can leave me unsupervised around anything and I won't destroy it.

3. I like to clean other dogs' ears.

4. I bark more than most Siberians. I still woo, but I bark. Especially when I'm yelling that Lex is stupid!

5. I like walking on the back of the couch. I have very good balance. From that point I'm taller than everyone else.

I tag D'azul, Ranger, Tara, Dakota, & Arwen.
