Feathers & Toilet Paper Tubes

My Human added a bunch of new photos to her Flickr account over the weekend. I thought I'd feature a couple.

This picture is of me running through feathers in our old living room. When my Human talks about this picture she says that its of the day she discovered that she used to have a feather pillow. When she came home from work that day she was greeted by a lot of feathers. I'm not pointing any paws at who did this, but I'll say that it wasn't me. I was in my box the whole time.


One of my favorite things is the center tube of toilet paper. I love it when my Human gives it too me to destroy, but that stupid Roo Roo likes to trick me out of them. Here's a picture of me enjoying one.:

Congrats to Meeshka

Congratulations go Meeshka in successfully completing the Blogathon. All told more than $1000 was raised for Harnessed To Hope Northern Breed Rescue.

Meeshka's Blogathon

In honor of today's Blogathon that Meeshka is participating in, this will be my only blog entry. I have to devote all my time to reading her blog and posting comments as necessary. I hope everyone else is doing the same, not to mention donating money for this worthwhile venture.

Seizures are Stupid!

As I mentioned previously, I have seizures occasionally. I had another stupid seizure last night. It interrupted my schedule of yelling at Lex that he was stupid. My seizures only last about 5 minutes, and I'm never completely under their spell when they happen. I hadn't had one for 4 months, so fortunately I don't have them very often.

While I was having my seizure, Roo Roo decided that it was a good time to destroy the instruction book to my Human's new cell phone.

Project Dogway

So there were dogs on that TV show Project Runway last night. But none of them were Siberian huskies. I think it would have been great to have some huskies on the runway modeling fashions. And it would have been even greater to see the designers try to put clothing on a bunch of huskies.

My Human has never tried to put clothing on me!

Lack of Electricity is Stupid

My Human's friend Large Oh sometimes posts on my blog. Yes, she's stupid and she spends far too much time trying to irritate me and for some reason Woof Woof. She also spends a lot of time talking about her cat. Her parents live in St. Louis, MO and they have been without electricity for almost a week!

Some big stupid storms blew through that town about a week ago and did all sorts of damage and knocked power out for most people in that area.

What I don't understand is why humans keep getting surprised by nature. Just stupid, I guess. I'm sure that prior to this storm the humans in charge of these things felt that they had a pretty good emergency preparedness plan. Guess they were wrong.

We heard on our local news that our local authorities said that we would not have the same problems than St Louis did if a big storm blows in. For some reason I don't believe them.

World of Little Turbo

Charlie the Big Dog requested some pictures of me as a pup. Here we go!

Vacation Starts Today

My Human's vacation starts today! I'm not sure what all we're going to do, but I do know that today she is going to go to the groomer and then Niki gets to go see Dr. Debbie.

Yesterday my Human brushed me for a while and then fed that stupid D. Animal. Vacuums sure survive on a weird diet!

Speaking of food, I did manage to grab some of my Human's breakfast today. She dropped a sausage ball on the floor. My Human foolishly thought that she could reclaim it, but I was too fast for her! It was too hot 'cause it had come right out of the oven, but I ate it anyway. I figured it was either me or somedog else. Might as well be me!!!

Sleeping + Walking

My Human occasional will get up and do things while she's [at least mostly] asleep. Once she got up and let all of us outside (except Lex who stayed inside) in the middle of the night, and then she went back to sleep. Pup, was she surprised when she woke up to see is outside looking in at her!
On another occasion, my Human got up during the night, walked across the room and turned the radio not only on, but to a different station than it had been set to.

Last night she sleep-turned-the-air-conditioning-on. Since Friday, our temperatures have been quite nice. Our low last night was around 60, so we didn't need the air conditioning to run. Now, I don't mind it being cooler, but my Human sure was surprised to see it on and the windows open this morning! The unit is high enough that she knew we couldn't reach it, so we weren't to blame.

Husky Logo #18

It's a Husky! It's a Mountain! No, it's the logo for the Husky Group!!!! From what I gather the Husky Group is an investment services business. But most of the google information pointed to the site of a company called the Logo Factory.

Anyway...it's a very cool logo!

Interference

That Meepie is always interfering! When I am trying to yell at Lex, Meeps will stand between us. He also blocks my Human's path a lot of the time. Meepie is not a small guy at all, and he is very muscular. So when he wants to throw an obstacle in somedog/somehuman's path, it's very formidable.

In other news, the temperature is forecasted to not be so hot today... We'll see...

Television is Stupid

Do your humans watch that stupid television thing? Mine sure does. There are a few shows that she watches a lot: House, Good Eats, Judge Judy, Project Runway, and Cops. Of those, only Cops is smart enough to actually have dogs on it. (Regarding Project Runway, my Human is saddened that Malan was auf'd. She feels that some potential good snark was removed from her life.)

I don't watch much tv. It doesn't interest me much. However, my Human gave me my nickname of Tubey because of the mascot of Television Without Pity.

When my Human goes to her stupid job she will leave the radio on for us. We never get to choose the station, though.

Today the stupid tv said that it's going to be a high of over 100 degrees! But tomorrow it's supposed to be a high of 85. And the stupid tv said that we're supposed get some storms tomorrow. Can't it just change temperatures without those stupid storms!!!!????

CSI: Turbo

We have a mystery on our paws! Someone chewed through my show lead yesterday. Sure, I don't need it because I'm not a show dog, but THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT! Before my Human went to her job yesterday, I was escorted to my box to spend a few hours. When she returned at lunch time, my lead was in tatters. I couldn't see who had destroyed my property. I know that I didn't do it, so now I have to deduce who it was. Everyone is a suspect at this time.

D. Animal: I don't think that the stupid vacuum did it for a couple reasons. 1) It was in the same room as me and never left, & 2) It's more into scheming and cleaning up all traces of evidence than destruction.

My Human: She seemed surprised that it was chewed up when she got home. Might have been an act, but I don't think she did it. Her teeth are rather dull.

Lex: He is always stupid and therefore always a suspect. But he's been spending a lot of time in my Human's bedroom moping. The lead was in the livingroom. I hate to admit it, but I don't think he did it.

Aurora: I am eliminating her from the pool of suspects. She was in her box next to me at the time of the crime.

Niki: It's possible, but I've never seen her destroy anything. She loses interest before something is completely trashed.

That leaves us with 2 prime suspects. Both of whom have been known to destroy items.

Misha: He has a history of wanton destruction. He has been seen happily destroying books, toys, and many, many other things.

Fargo: The key evidence that I have against him is that a few months ago he ate a small leather leash. When my Human came home from work that day, she discovered that only the buckle remained. She knew it was Fargo when the very next day this same leash came out of Fargo in several small pieces.

I don't have enough evidence at this time for a search warrant, but I am pretty sure it was Fargo who did it. I'll be keeping my eyes and ears open.

Heads Down

It's been too hot to do anything except for doing nothing at all. My Human is happy that the weather is supposed to be cooler next week for her vacation time.


We have some stupid ants that have been coming into the house looking for food. They're too small, so I'm not really that interested in them.

Almost 100

Today it's supposed to be close to 100. That's really, really stupid. I agree with Meeshka, where's the snow?

My Human starts her vacation this upcoming Saturday. She doesn't plan on taking any trips or anything stupid like that. But she is going to take Roo Roo & me to see Dr. Debbie. Niki's going to get groomed. So's my Human for that matter. My Human is also going to go to a class to learn how to make sushi. She loves sushi, but she never shares, so hopeful she'll learn to do that.

Knows

I was browsing through the Siberian Husky group on Flickr. These photos stood out to me this morning.

oh!

Not only does that stupid D. Animal (who lives with us) have a blog, but that stupid Vrooomy who lives with Charlie the Big Dog has one, too!

They're trying to suck up our territory!

Husky Logo #17

I found this cool logo this morning. But when I went to the website, there was a 404 error message.

So anyway, here is an angry husky logo:

Pussyfoot

My Human has a degree in linguistics & English. So she gets curious about stupid words. She made her stupid friend, Large Oh, research the meaning of the word "pussyfoot." Large Oh has a lot of free time currently because she no longer works at the circus.

Anyway...

Teddy Roosevelt seems to have either coined or popularized pussyfoot in about 1905. Meaning crafty, cunning, or moving in a cautious manner, it refers to the way cats can walk stealthily by drawing in their claws and walking on the pads of their feet. It's very unlikely that the redoubtable William Eugene "Pussy-foot" Johnson, a crusading American do-gooder, has anything to do with the expression. Johnson was nicknamed "Pussyfoot" because "of his catlike policies in pursuing lawbreakers" when he served as chief special officer in the Indian Territory. Later his nickname, in the form of pussyfooters, was applied to all advocates of Prohibition., While crusading in England, fresh from his triumph of securing the passing of Prohibition in the U.S., Johnson was blinded by a stone thrown by a crusading drunk.

It's Friday!

My Human's stupid early morning schedule ends soon. Her co-worker returns from work on Monday. Also, on Monday her new manager will be starting. I still think that jobs and bosses are stupid!

Meepie always is trying to boss me around! I guess you know by now that I think he's stupid! Last night I was just minding my own business and Meepie charged across the room to clobber me. I was surprised, but I was able to pull some of his fluff out. Then I hopped up on the side table so that I was taller than everyone else.

I have always enjoyed climbing on top of things.
