Meepie's Photos

.

I wanted to share with you some photos that Dr. Misha Meepenstein took. Bear in mind that Meepie has a bit of a vision impairment. But he's an artist and I still think his works speak for themselves

Me, the Tube Wolf:

Where's Woofwoof & Arwen?

.

I miss my old blogging friends Woofwoof & Arwen.

Where are you? I'm sniffing for you, but I can't find you!

Theme Song

.

I heard a song the other day...an old song from when my Human was a little human. It was called "It's Hard to Be Humble." It was sung by some human who goes by the name of Mac Davis. (Humans sure have stupid names!)

I liked the song 'cause the refrain of it reminded me of me! (I changed just one word to made it more about me.)

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way
I can't wait to look in the mirror 'cause I get better lookin' each day
To know me is to love me, I must be a hell of a dog
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble, but I'm doin' the best that I can

Outside

.

We live several miles outside of the city limits. A lot of animals live outside of our house. We see feral cats, NO-possums, raccoons, deer, sometimes foxes, and occasionsally coyotes. Lots of birds, too (although none as pretty as those that visit Charlie and Opy).

We'd love to have some of the animals come and play with us, but they aren't taking us up on our offer.

Our closest neighbor has cattle, llamas, and small goats. Again, they won't play with us!

I think any animal that doesn't want to play with us is stupid!

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!)

New Thingie

Check out the Dogs with Blogs randomizer that Charlie and his SHD made for me (on the left side of my blog)!!!!!

It's my hope that all dogs who have blogs will put this on their blog in the future!!!

Woooooo!!!!!!!!!

ZOOM!!!ZOOM!!!ZOOM!!!ZOOM!!!ZOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

Husky Logo #39

.

I've mentioned a couple times previously that I really like the husky logo of Northeastern University.

Today I'm going to feature a couple more of their logos.





I like all of their logos so much that I can't pick a favorite!

I've asked my Human why she didn't go to a university with a cool husky mascot, but she still insists that mascots aren't a good criteria when choosing a school!

10,000th Visitor! Woooo!

.



Congratulations to Tierre for being my 10,000th blog visitor. In honor of this even, I'm naming him an honorary member of my pack starting immediately. I'll also be sending you some snow.

Mid-America Husky Bloggers Convention?

.

Holly had an idea that she mentioned in a comment to me that the Husky bloggers (and honorary Husky bloggers) in our area should meet up. I think that's a good idea Holly suggested somewhere in Kansas City, as that's a reasonable distance for most of us.

What does everyone think?

Northern Lights Alert

.

My Human just got a call from a human friend in Des Moines, IA. She can see the Northern Lights now. So all huskies and their humans should go outside and look to the north for the lights.

Unfortunately, it is too overcast for us to see them here. But due to the level of solar activity there is a good chance of Auroral activity for a couple days.

Wooooo!

Links!

.

I've updated my template with a bunch of new links. Please let me know if I missed any of you, my faithful readers!

And full disclosure time now...nothing stupid has happened to me since I switched to Beta. But I'm still full of hatred that I was forced to change!

On the Furniture

.

I still don't understand the whole concept of "no dogs on the furniture." I mean, is it just supposed to sit there not being used? If we don't use it, won't the furniture feel unloved? I'm just thinking of the furnitures' feelings!

No Comments!

.

Stupid Blogger isn't letting me post comments on my friends Beta blogs! I keep getting stupid error messages.

I've tried searching through Blogger for a complaint e-mail address, but everytime I click on the link, it routes me back to a troubleshooting guide.

I'm an angry Tubey tonight!

UPDATE!!!

So I guess I solved my stupid problem by switching to Beta. Being forced to switch is very stupid!

Snow Gone!

.

So all the snow is gone! I don't get it. We had 18 inches of wonderful snow and cold temperatures. Then it was a miserable 55 degrees for a few days and it's all gone! Oh well...I'm going to try to not let it get me down! BUT IT BETTER SNOW AGAIN SOON!!!!

The photo on the right is of Meepie on the couch and Roo Roo on the floor. My Human noticed the dogs in this position and when she went into the room, she saw that Roo Roo had her snout in the blanket. So my Human picked up the blanket and a mouse jumped out! Sadly, we didn't get to play with the mouse and my Human washed the blanket before we could smell it.

I want to talk about the stupid mouse for a moment. That is some STUPID mouse! We have 6 huskies in the house and a bunch of stupid cats outside.

Superhusky, The Movie

Husky Logo #39

.

Howdy! Today I'm featuring the husky of Paul J Hagerty High School. I found the cute picture (on the left) of what may be a new husky blogger while researching this school. I didn't start my computer usage until I was much older than this little guy.

Also, I'm showing the logo of their school's ROTC program. I like it!

And I like that their site says this:
.

.

The Husky is known for its intelligence, loyalty, courage, work ethic, teamwork and fierce competitiveness and represents qualities essential to the school and the students.

It's Niki's 14th Birthday!

.

Happy Birthday to Niki! She's 14 today. Although she's often a cranky old lady, she does have the foresight to realize that the Tube Wolf is the greatest dog here!

Niki doesn't like to have her picture taken, so I had to sneak up on her to get this one:

Brrrpppt!

.

Roo Roo wanted me to show you this picture I took of her:

Annoyed

.

My Human said the stupidest thing ever! She actually said that she's tired of the snow and cold temperatures and is ready for it be be in the 50's again! That's so unfair! This was the first real snow we've had since I've been around and she wants it to go away. (Even stupider is that the TV weather guy refered to our glorious 18 snowfall as a "winter-like event!")

So, I'm running away! Anyone who wants me to live with them, let me know. I'll be bringing the snow with me!

Important News

Dateline: Sioux City, IA!

Sioux City commuters dodge beef livers on road
ASSOCIATED PRESS

November 30, 2006

A semitrailer dumped its load of beef livers on a highway in Sioux City, blocking morning traffic as officials worked to clean up the mess.

The semitrailer careened off an exit ramp from U.S. Highway 20 to Interstate 29 about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, blocking three lanes of traffic.

The mess delayed traffic for about an hour as firefighters washed blood off the highway and then salted the area to keep it from freezing in the frigid temperatures.

The driver of the truck suffered a cut on his forehead and a possible shoulder injury. He was taken to a local hospital, police said. The driver's name wasn't released.

The semi, owned by Coverleaf Cold Storage of Sioux City, left the road and came to rest on its side in the median, police said.

The cause of the crash remained under investigation.

Wake Up!

.

How do you wake up your humans? Meepie will poke my Human with his snout. Fargo will lick her. But I walk all over her. I'll hop up on the bed and do my tight rope act up and down her, till she wakes up. Sometimes my Human will try to ignore me after she wakes up, but I'll continue to march all over her. I don't know what she's thinking. This morning I walked on her at 4am! That's late enough for her to sleep. She's lazy. Very lazy!

House Trees

Humans are stupid! Have I mentioned that? I've heard about some humans who bring trees into their house this time of year. The decorate them with breakable things and lights and stick boxes with stupid paper under the tree. Those humans get upset when dogs (and cats) visit the tree.

Okay, what if we brought one of those stupid vitreous china raised drinking bowls into our house and then didn't let the humans use it? I think they'd be really angry!

And another thing...what do those trees have to do with Christmas? Why don't they bring trees inside for Arbor Day?


My Human has said that she's never going to get us a house tree! I think she's very selfish!

I don't think I'll ever understand humans!

Husky Logo #37

.

This fluffy husky is the mascot of the Alak School in the community of Wainwright in Alaska.

This is what they say about the area:

Alak School is located nearly 350 miles above the Arctic Circle on the coast of the Chukchi Sea in northern Alaska. It is a unique place with strong traditions and friendly people. Most residents are of Inupiat Eskimo heritage.

So, woo ooo to this Chukchi Husky!

More!

.

So we got about 18 inches of delightful, powdery snow!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!! My Human isn't going to work for at least a few more hours. The humans have decided to shut down the Interstate that my Human has to travel on. I think that humans are stupid to let a little thing like snow impede their mobility.

But I don't really care, because my Human is home, and we can all play in the snow!

Snow!

.

Finally!

.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...

.


Maybe you're wondering what this is a picture of? It's a picture of me not looking at snow!!!!!!!!!

We had some stupid ice over night, but not even enough to have fun with. The tree branches have really small icicles on them. Roo Roo is hoping that some branches fall off that she can bring in the house to chew up.

The stupid weather guys still say we may get a foot of snow tonight. I've heard that before!!!!



In other news...Roo Roo has found a place she'd like to work! National Association of Information Destruction!

Weather or Not

.

So it's been too darn hot lately!!!!! Highs have been in the upper 60's. It's NOVEMBER!!!!

But I glanced at the weather forecast and saw this:



I'm not getting my hopes up, however. I've been tricked by stupid weather forecasts many, many, many times!

So, we'll see...

A Thing Or Two

.

As I've mentioned a couple times previously, I have seizures. I had one on Saturday. Usually I'll have them inside, but on Saturday I had one outside. Fortunately my Human noticed and she came outside to sit by me. But you want to know what that stupid Roo Roo was doing? She was sneaking up on me and grabbing my back. She wanted to pull me around the yard while I was incapacitated! My Human had to take time out from sitting with me to stick Roo Roo in her box. Roo Roo's stupid, so when I recovered I yelled at her and clobbered her!

Also, Lex walked by while I was incapacitated. He thought I didn't see him, but I did. So I growled at him as best I could!

Then last night when my Human was preparing our dinner, I decided to yell at Fargo. JUST 'CAUSE I COULD! Meepie yelled at me for that! So my Human proceded to deliver our dinner, and Fargo decided to act like he was injured. I DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH HIM!!! much! Fargo started crying and carrying on just to get attention from my Human. My Human checked and determined that Fargo was okay, so she continued to deliver our food. Fargo kept following her and crying. But then as soon as she delivered his meal, he wagged his tail and gave her a kiss and then ate all his food!

Why's everyone so stupid?!

Husky Logo #36

This Saturday's logo is the Husky of North Marion Primary School on Aurora (Roo Roo?), Oregon.

This school is in the same district as a high school that has a Husky as a mascot! It warms my little Tubey heart to learn that this community is so dedicated to huskies! But nothing is perfect. Their intermediate school (whatever that is) has a Dragon for a mascot and their middle school has a Rocket.

My Human (as I've mentioned previously) went to a high school with a Bulldog for a mascot. Her junior high mascot was the Bullpups. So, when they built the middle school and they needed a mascot, some stupid humans said that they should be the RMS Bull-embryos. But that mascot didn't win the contest...they were the RMS Eagles!

Sleeping!

.

What is it with humans and their obsession with how "cute" we look when we are sleeping?!



Shut up and let me sleep!
