On Top Of Things, A Retrospective

woo!

I have always prided myself on keeping on top of things. My Human found my pawprints on top of her dresser. She wasn't surprised. Unfortunately, there is no picture of that. But here's a few of my favorites over time.

6, 7, and/or 8

woo!

Serious note: I just read that one of the UCONN Huskies football players was fatally stabbed on campus after their victory. Our thoughts are with Jasper Howard's family, team mates, and friends.

It's really confusing which week of Husky League Football we are on. Some teams have played 6. Some 7. And the Turbo-Colored Huskies have played 8.



Speaking of the Turbo-Colored Huskies, the Bloomsburgs have won yet another game. They are undefeated at 8 wins and 0 losses. This week then took care of some wolves.

You'll be relieved to hear that the Northeasterns did not lose this week. They did not play, but they did not lose.

Huskies defeated wolves, bisons, and cardinals. My Human went to the bison university. I had to rub it in a bit. You know how that goes.

I am sad to have to tell you that huskies did not win against rockets, sun devils, and greyhounds. The Northern Illinoises had a close game. They lost by only 1 point!

And finally, please good vote for the good Captain Maverick in this contest. If he wins, the money will go to husky rescue. (And that would not be the Northeastern Huskies football team, although they do need some help!)

Week 6 (or 5 or even 7)

woo!

Yet another thrilling week in the world of Husky League Football. 2 teams remain perfect this week: the Bloomsburgs and the Northeasterns. Unfortunately, only the Bloomsburgs have won all their games.

I didn't post this last night because the Washingtons played a very late game and I had to get my sleep on. (Here is a link to Dubs' blog. He's actually a Malamute, but I'm happy to have him representing.) But below are the results for the week:



Unfortunately, only the Bloomsburg Turbo-Colored Huskies and the Washington Malamute Representing Huskies won this week. They beat some warriors and wildcats this week. Maybe the "W" meant that they would "win." I don't want to take any chances, so I suggest that no husky teams play any opponents whose name begins with "L."

The Northern Illinoises did not play this week. I hope they got to nap and eat some cheese & bacon.

I don't like talking about loses, but I need to mention who the other husky teams played. They played thunderbirds, panthers, derrick the oiler, and some tribe.

In closing, here is a picture of what I'd look like if I was standing near a statue on the campus of the Bloomsburg Turbo-Colored Huskies:

Reunion

woo!

We had a visitor this weekend. A friend of my Human was passing through our world on the way home after a high school reunion. (This is a picture of me greeting this friend of my Human's.) This friend had gone to her 25th year after graduating high school reunion. My Human has her 25th year after graduation high school reunion next year.

Humans are stupid. They feel the need to wait 5 or 10 years at a stretch to get really excited about seeing people they know. Dogs, on the other paw, are really excited to see people each time they see them.

My Human says that reunions are a way that time grabs people by the shirt collars, shakes them, and yells, "YOU REALLY ARE THAT OLD!!!!"

Week 5

woo!

First an important note. I inadvertently short changed the Bloomsburgs on the number of wins. I've gone back and corrected my reports. As a special way of apologizing to the Turbo Colored Huskies, I've interjected myself into a graphic with their mascot:



So! Here's what happened in this week's games: The Bloomsburgs, Saskatchewans, Northern Illinois, & Michigan Techs all were triumphant over the marauders (and sidekick Skully), the clan, broncos, and bulldogs.

The Connecticuts had the week off, so they did not win, but they also did not lose.

Unfortunately, the Washingtons and the Northeasterns did not win against the Fighting Irish and some crusaders.

I have a special woo out regarding the Washingtons. They were aided in no small part by my good friend Marley, who let loose with the gas as a means of diminishing the support his humans had for the Fighting Irish. I appreciate your effort, Mars. I know your fart was in the right place.

(You will notice that I have marked certain number in red. That is the number that increases each week.)

Week 4

woo!

This was not a good week for the Husky Football League. Before I give you the bad news, I will cheer you up by showing you a couple pictures of me:



Now for the bad news from the League. Huskies defeated pioneers and rams. They were not successful against golden bears, vandals, the cardinal (the color, not the bird), lakers, and wildcats.

I will point out that the Bloomsburg (Turbo-Colored) Huskies remain undefeated. Ha roo!

Saturday, September 19, 2009

Week 3

woo!



Huskies mostly won their football games this week. They beat 2 varieties of bears: Golden and Regular. They also defeated boiler manufacturers and Troy citizens.

Huskies did not win against wolves and penguins. I understand not beating the wolves, but why didn't Huskies defeat birds who cry ice cube tears?????

The Saskatchewan Huskies did not win or lose this week because they did not play football.

Here's a picture of a human pretending to be a Husky from the team that did not prevail over the wolves (I don't know who the humans pretending to be humans are in the picture):



And here is a picture of me:

Week 2

woo!

It was another mixed bag of wins and losses in the Husky Football League:



Huskies prevailed over rams, lakers, leathernecks, and vandals. (My Human, who is stupid, says that huskies and vandals are indistinguishable.)

Huskies did not prevail over tarheels, eagles, and black bears.

I need to make a special woo out to the Bloomsburg Huskies. They are definitely not stupid. Look at their mascot. I think they will win for this reason alone!

Are You Ready For Some Football?

woo!

This weekend was (for the most part) the first weekend of my tracking the records of the Husky Football League. The members of this esteemed league have Huskies for mascots and are universities in the United States and Canada.

Without further time wasting, here's my line scores:


The Huskies heroically beat Dinos, Vulcans, and Rufus the Bobcat.

The Huskies valiantly lost to Chargers, Eagles, Badgers, & Tigers.

I am most impressed with the U of Saskatchewan Huskies. Look at the huge husky in these pictures I found on their website:

Fluffsplosion

woo!

So it's the time of the year that huskies shed. Of course, this particular "time of the year" lasts right around the equivalent of 1 human year. I don't now about you, but my Human is obsessed with stealing my fluff. She'd just reach right over and pluck a hunk of it off. Then she'll bring out the gigantic, industrial strength carpet rake and scrape it off the carpet. Or, worse yet, she'll bring out the stupid new yellow Dyson to have it eat our fluff. Yesterday when my Human was stealing my fluff, I'd get very gruff with her and grab a mouthful of MY fluff. I ran off with it.

The whole thing is wrong. Very wrong. Why do the humans always feel the need to take our fluff and very often just dispose of it. Typically, my Human tosses our fluff over the fence so that birds can use it. What do birds need with our fluff? They have feathers, for barking out loud!

The Philadelphia Stupids

woo!

Here's my thoughts on the Philadelphia Eagles hiring Michael Vick to play on their team: I don't care if a convicted felon who is still "on paper" has been hired. I don't care that he's playing football for a lot of money. If the Philadelphia Eagles want to be stupid, that's their decision. It seems to me that it will bring them bad publicity. But humans seem to think that all publicity is good...even bad publicity. If the Philadelphia Eagles get embarrassed, that's good. If they lose a lot of fans, that's good. If they lose a lot of money, that's good.

My Human is a Human Resources Coordinator. What that means is that, in part, she gets to hire people. She works for the world's largest facilities' services company. She gets a lot of applicants for janitorial positions. She wouldn't hire convicted felons who are still on parole to clean her customers' buildings. Obviously janitors are more important than NFL football players.

R.I.P, C$


woo!

We are all very sad that Charlie has left for the rainbow bridge. He was always one of my very best friends and a big part of the reason that I've blogged.

We are all wooing sadly for C$, Opy, Greg, & Brooke

I Am A Pitbull

woo!

[Click on the picture to the left to biggify it so you can read all the banned breeds.]

Today we had an satellite dish installer come to our house who was scared of dogs. My Human was sensitive to this and had all of us dogs segregated so the man would not be scared. He saw a couple of us who peeked at him through the window blinds and asked if we were pitbulls. (There is an excellent website that challenges humans be be able to pick out the true pitbull from a bunch of pictures.)

This got me thinking about all of the stupid breed specific legislation that is out there. Pitbulls are often banned from living in certain communities. And by "living," I mean being alive rather than just residing in a town.

There is a town about 20 miles from our house that has a new stupid anti-pitbull law. The law basically says that no new pitbulls can come into Fayette, but that current ones are okay as long as the dogs' humans have registered them and have a photo ID for the dogs.

If certain so called scary breeds are banned, then it will be easier to ban other breeds that humans are scared of. You have to watch humans. You can't trust them.

I want to propose a new law to ban humans that dogs think are dangerous and stupid. Those humans would not be allowed to live in their communities. Take the word "live" anyway you want to.

A Reminder

woo!

If I had been elected President, I would have banned the following things: Fireworks, thunderstorms, hot weather, mosquitoes, ticks, seizures, stupidity, etc, etc, etc...

Hey! This is a long holiday weekend. My Human is off of work for 3 days. It's not supposed to be really hot, which is good. But there will probably be some thunderstorms and fireworks around. We don't have fireworks at our house, But they are out there. I can hear them. Sadly, we currently have neither cheese nor bacon in our house. Maybe my Human will get some tomorrow.

I forgot to wish my Canadian friends Happy Canada Day. So, here's to you, one day late!

Happy Independence Day to all United Statesers.

Lost Husky In New Jersey

woo!

Please visit Khyra's blog for information on a lost husky in New Jersey. Laska doesn't know the area and is most likely very scared.

All pawsitive thoughts and prayers appreciated.

After the Bath

woo!

I don't know about you, but I love running around after my bath and rubbing my face and body on the carpet and furniture.

Unfortunate

woo!

My Human has informed me that she will be buying a new stupid Dyson! This is not good news, but we successfully killed the old Dyson, so we will prevail. Sure it took us 5 years, but we did succeed!

In the mean time, I will be planning, scheming, and shedding.

Hold Your Fire

woo!

So my Human finally figured out what that weird Friday morning smell was. I smelled it on Saturday afternoon and went over to tell the surge protector that it was stupid. Then that stupid surge protector decided to catch on fire!

My Human noticed the orange flames shooting out of it and she was able to take care of the situation without damage to anything other than the surge protector and a plug. Thing definitely could have been worse, and we are all happy that the fire didn't start until Saturday afternoon.

My Human has decided to replace the functioning surge protectors will better quality ones. She's been reading about them and found a couple of models that look promising. One of them even has a smoke detector attached so that it shuts down if it senses smoke.

This is what my Human thinks may have happened: We had a bit of a flood in our house when there was a big rain storm. The surge protector got moist. As it turns out, that's a bad thing. Also,somedog may have peed on it. But I'm not saying anything about that.

We've learned a few things:

1. Surge strips don't necessarily turn off if they are moist.
2. They also don't necessarily shut off if they are on fire.
3. You shouldn't use the same surge protector for years and years.
4. You can find more tips here: Power Strip Safety.


I've decided that I'm going to be our pack's designated Fire Marshal now.

Roughin' It

woo!

My Human woke up around 4am and found a very weird smell in the house. It was kind of a chemical/plastic smell. While we were outside delivering p-mail, my Human was inside sniffing things. As you all know, humans don't have as refined a sniffer as we do. My Human never figured out what the smell was and it went away anyway.

Then it was time for her to hose herself off before she went to that place she calls "work." After she was in the tub, she noticed that Roo Roo had picked up something that looked like a Tylenol. So my Human had to get out of the tub and chase after Rooie. My Human escorted Roo into the bathroom and had her drink some hydrogen peroxide so she'd horka up the pill. Turned out it wasn't a Tylenol after all but a bit of paper.

Eventually my Human was ready to go to work. So she escorted me and Rooie to our respective boxes. My Human then proceeded to give herself a black eye on a quart water bottle she was using to fill Rooie's water bowl. Yeah, I have no clue how my Human managed to do that, but she did. And now she has a nice shiner below her left eye.

Finally, when my Human got home she discovered that either Lex, Meepie, or Fargo had destroyed a catalog. Shredded paper everywhere!

All in all, it was a very good day.

The Cuz Thief

woo!

I am beginning my treck through each of the DWB blogs tonight. Right now there is 1249 of them, so it will be a while before I get done.

In the mean time, my Human has promised me that she will shoot a video of me yelling at Lex soon. I will post that when it is available.

But for the time being, here is a Roo Roo movie:

Q Thing

woo!

My new friend Suzy Sheltie posted about this QR Code generator. I decided to give it a whirl. So, instead of my name or blog URL, I decided to post one of our favorite jokes:

Tubey & the Tube

woo!

We have our satellite internet connected now. So, I decided to post a video to give it a whirl. I made this video about a year ago. I really like toilet paper tubes.

Once Again

woo!

I am proud to announce that I will soon be introducing Tubey TV again. My Human is getting satellite internet, so it will be easier for me to upload videos We currently just use dial up internet, which is stupid beyond stupid.

Awake!

woo!

To my Human:

Just because we woke you up at 3:45am does not mean that we wanted you to stay up. Please stop watching the Golden Girls and go to sleep!



Sincerely,

Us

[A closing note from me: I've decided to reintroduce my stupidity index at the top of the blog. I'll updated it whenever the mood strikes me.]
