No Title Today

.

I don't have any cohesive thoughts today.

I'll be posting my newest plan to exploit human stupidity for monetary gain soon.

My Human is stupid and mean. She locks the Cuzes up in the bathroom closet, behind 2 closed doors during the night. She said something stupid about the noise keeping her awake! I can smell the Cuzes, however. So, I'm working on a liberation plan.

It's a lot cooler outside and that pleases me greatly!

I'm closing with some pictures that I haven't posted here yet.

Lex is looking at something:


Meepie decided that my Human was more interesting than Lex:


It's Fargo!


And me!

Wooing Sadly For Sherman...

.

Rest in peace, Sherman.

Fantastic Idea

.

I heard a news story today that was absolutely brilliant. The phone company that calls themselves Sprint is cancelling the accounts of people who call and complain too much! I've never heard of such a great thing! That'll teach those stupid humans to not complain!

Look! Here's a new picture of me!

What's Going On?

.

Look at what Meepie and Roo Roo were doing while I was in my box. It's as if they don't know how stupid Lex is!


And then later, there was a stupid racoon up a tree in front of the bedroom window!


My Human actually said that there is nothing cuter than a baby racoon. Excuse me!!!!! What about me?! I'm cuter!

Dyson's Are Stupid And Shouldn't Be Trusted!

.

I keep warning everyone that they shouldn't trust that stupid Dyson. Look at it pretending to be friends with Meepie!


No one believes me when I say it's up to no good! Look! It's got me in it's site!


But last night the stupid Dyson decided to pull a prank on my Human. It switched it's control to "bare floor" so that the spinner brush thing wouldn't turn. It laughed and laughed. The stupid Dyson is even bragging about it on it's stupid blog!

Stupid Hot Weather!

.

The weather is stupid and hot in lots of places. Of course I will be banning hot weather when I'm President.

My Human spent more than enough time today driving around taking pictures of things other than us so that she could post 7 pictures on Flickr in the 070707 group. Why she'd want pictures of things other than us, I don't understand!

She took a picture of some cow pups:



My Human didn't bring them home!

The Size of It All

.

Other than my Human, Lex is the biggest. He is about 110 pounds. He's half Akita/half husky.


Fargo is next. He weighs about 85 pounds. He's probably half husky/half Malamute.


Meepie is next. He's around 70 pounds. He's got a lot of muscle built in on him (unlike Lex). He's very strong.


Niki is next at around 50 pounds.


Then comes Roo Roo. She is a svelte 47, or so.


And that leaves me, the Tube Wolf. I'm around 40 to 45 pounds. I'm small, but mighty!

Dog Days of Summer

.

zzzzzz...uh! Oh, well Happy 4th, no make that the 5th of July to everyone. Here's some pictures to help you get through the post Holiday day:

Interview With My Human

.

TURBO: Did you notice that I stole part of your dinner tonight?

HUMAN: Of course I did. You leapt up and pulled a tortilla off my plate causing meat and veggies to fly everywhere. I'm not as stupid as you think I am.

T: Why are you so stupid?

H: Why are you so mean?

T: Hey, I'm asking the questions here. So, why are you so stupid?

H: (sighs loudly) Too many Siberian huskies!

T: Can we get rid of Lex?

H: No. He's staying. He was here first.

T: What do you do all day when you're away from us?

H: I am a regional human resources coordinator.

T: What does that mean?

H: I hire and fire people.

T: People are stupid. Do you agree?

H: Yes.

T: Why do you stick me in my box when you go away?

H: Because you drive the others crazy.

T: Couldn't you put all of them in my box and let me be out?

H: No. They wouldn't fit.

T: You're being stupid. You could just put Lex in the box.

H: You really want Lex in your box?

T: No, you're right. He's stupid. Anyway, the others don't have a
problem with me.


H: They do. They think you're annoying.

T: I'M NOT ANNOYING!!!! I'M THE TUBE WOLF!!!!!

H: Sure…

T: Why don't you let the other dogs blog more?

H: It's not a matter of me letting them as much as you letting them.
You tend to hog the computer.

T: So, then why don't you buy more computers?

H: It doesn't work like that.

T: Why didn't you go to a university with a Husky for a mascot?

H: Well, Tubey, the mascot wasn't a criteria when I chose my university.

T: It should have been. It was stupid of you not to think about it. So
what made you decided to live with huskies?


H: Lex was living with me—

T: He's stupid!

H: (clears throat) and I wanted to get him a friend. I met Meepie and
the rest is history.

T: I think 6 is too many. I think you need to get rid of Lex and Meepie.

H: Not the others?

T: No, they are fine. Lex is stupid and Meepie is bossy.

H: They are all staying.

T: I forbid you to let anydog else move in.

H: It's not your call, but I don't intend on it. Are you going to use a picture of me in this?

T: This is boring and stupid, so I'm ending this now!

Insurance Agent

.

I don't talk about it much, but we have a gecko named Griselda who lives with us. She's really boring. I'd show you a video of her, but she doesn't do much of anything. So below are a couple still photos of her...you can pretend they are a video 'cause it would look the same!

Sunday News

.

I know that a lot of people are concerned about birds in the attic, so I wanted to give an update. (I know this because lots of people reach my blog searching for "birds in the attic.") There were not any birds in the attic this year. I don't know why there weren't birds in the attic, but I didn't miss their stupid peeping! I think that all birds are stupid, but the most stupid ones are in attics.

I learned something from Joe Stains. Apparently birds have tennis balls inside of them!

I have updated my links, adding lots of new friends blogs. If I've missed you, please let me know. It's an oversight on my part.

Appeal for Campaign Funds

.

I want more money for my Presidential Campaign. I've heard that humans are very stupid and are more than willing to give their money away when they get an e-mail inviting them to. So I decided to send all humans an e-mail:



Dr Meep said that I can't be that brutally honest in my e-mail, so I revised it. You'll notice that not only am I nicer, but I put a cute picture of myself in the e-mail, too!

Weinermobile

.

The Oscar Mayer Weinermobile lives in our town, and we see it driving around. The following story and picture were in our local newspaper today:

Let’s be frank - that car looks suspicious

From staff and wire reports
Published Friday, June 29, 2007

The famous Oscar Mayer Weinermobile sports a homecoming message while rolling down sixth street.<br /><br />Ed Pfueller photo<br />dit/oct 2004/news/Homecoming Parade ep Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer ... car thief?

An Arizona Highway Patrol officer who ran the Wienermobile’s plates as the vehicle traveled for a promotion briefly thought the giant hot dog on wheels was, well, hot.

The Wienermobile was on the road for a promotion in which contestants sing the Oscar Mayer jingle for a shot at appearing in a commercial and winning "American Idol" tickets.

The 27-foot-long, 11-foot-tall vehicle was in a construction zone in downtown Tucson on Wednesday, slowing traffic. Officer Korey Lankow caught up to it and ran its "YUMMY" license plate to make sure it was street-legal.

The plate came back as stolen. Lankow pulled over the Wienermobile, and two more officers arrived to help.

It turns out someone had indeed stolen the "YUMMY" plate off the Wienermobile in Columbia back in February. Oscar Mayer officials reported the theft to police there, company spokeswoman Syd Lindner said. The company got a replacement YUMMY plate that same month and notified police in Missouri, Lindner said.

But the plate still came back as stolen Wednesday, with no note that it was OK if found on the Wienermobile itself.

The Wisconsin vanity plate was reported stolen Feb. 18 as the Wienermobile was parked in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn Select, Columbia police Capt. Tom Dresner said.

"I could understand why someone would steal that plate," Dresner said. "It’d look good on your fireplace or something."

The license plate had been replaced with a California one that expired in 2005 and oddly enough was also registered to Kraft Foods, Dresner said.

Jeff Kendell, 23, of Salt Lake City was a passenger - or "hot dogger" in Oscar Mayer lingo - in the rolling wiener. Not missing a beat, Kendell handed out wiener whistles to the officers, who took a peek inside the Wienermobile and snapped pictures with digital cameras.

Arizona Highway Patrol spokesman Quent Mehr said Lankow is hearing plenty about it from his buddies.

"The officer, he’s just like, ‘I don’t believe this is happening,’ " Mehr said.

Mayhem

.

So, it's been doing the precipitation thing at our house for the last 2 days. None of that stupid lightning or thunder, thank dog!

Tuesday evening, however, our house was alive with stupidity. Lex tried to catch a big stupid horse fly that was near my Human. You just can't have that sort of thing happen, so I yelled at Lex and clobbered him a little. Then Meepie clobbered me. Then my Human decided to stick me in my box for a while. Lex whined a lot and the other dogs got all excited. I cried because it was just so unfair that everyone else was having a good time without me!

Niki was all freaked out because she thought she heard some thunder or something stupid like that. She got in the bathtub and ended up poking her toenails through the shower curtain liner. The curtains and rod fell into the tub and Niki got all tangled up in it. It was just the stupidest thing ever!!!

And that stupid Lex...well, you know!!!!

Around the House

.

I thought I'd share some photos of us at home.

Here's me looking down the porch/deck at Lex (who is stupid):



It's Niki & Meepie in the hallway:



And it's all of us, except Lex who is in the room, but out of the camera's field of focus:

My Neighbor's Stupid Kids!

.

My neighbor's kids are so stupid! They hang around outside making noise. I'll yell at the adult female who takes care of the kids: "Hey Nanny! Make those stupid kids shut up!" But they never listen!





Titles are Stupid!

.

Sometimes I have troubles thinking of a title and today is one of those days!

I wanted to post a brief video with a little glimpse of my Human in it:



Har har har!!! Who cares what humans look like, anyway?!

Another reason that humans are stupid is that they like fireworks! We're now in that stupid time of the year when humans like exploding things at night. Below is a picture my human took before she invited all of us to live with her:

Whatever!

.

So yesterday we were playing with the toys.



And that stupid Roo Roo decided to get too close and I yelled at here that she was stupid. That made my stupid Human come and take away all of the toys. She took them into the bathroom. I think she painted the Cuzes and hid them!
