Friday Jokes

Fargo Style Joke:

Why did the Human stick an aspirin in the Windex?

'Cause she heard there was a window pane!

Tubey Style Joke:

Why did the Human stick an aspirin in the Windex?

'Cause she was stupid!

Chex Mix Cheddar

My Human brought home a bag of Chex Mix Cheddar yesterday. She let us sample it. Here's our short opinions.

Lex: Liked it. But he'll eat anything. He was more interested in eating it that being intimidated by me.

Misha: Not good. He accepted it, but spit it out.

Fargo: Nope. He doesn't like snacking between meals.

Me: It's okay, but not as good as Cheez-Its.

Aurora: Yum Yum! She eats first, and the only question she asks later is "May I have some more?"

Niki: She wasn't around at sample time. She was outside or something.

Fargo Weatherman

Yesterday evening someone reached my blog while Googling the words "fargo weatherman too tall." This thrilled my Human because she knew just who this person was looking for:


My Human first saw "Too Tall" Tom Szymanski when she spent a night in Mankato, MN. Back then (in the early '90's) there weren't 3 million television channels, so she had to watch the local news. Mr. Szymanski gave his weather report in a truly unique fashion. The guy is 6 foot, 10 inches tall and he'd move in close to the camera for emphasis. My Human was there at the end of June and Mr. Szymanski had a really short guy help him change the calendar page.

A few years later, my Human was spending the night in Fargo, North Dakota and was thrilled to see Mr. Szymanski was doing the weather in that town.

So I guess whoever was looking for information on Mr. Szymanski was probably a bit surprised to find my blog entry. I'll close with a picture of my friend Fargo for comparison sake.

Squabbles

Meepie and Fargo have been giving me the grumble treatment. For some stupid reason they've been giving me attitude when I stare at them, stomp my foot, or get too close. Fargo in particular is grumbling when I try to lick his ears or his face. In the words of Mr. Dangerfield, "I get no respect!"

And that Niki...She's been hiding and yelling at us to try to scare us. We are aware of how sharp her teeth are, so we jump when she yells "BOO!" Last night Meepie and Roo Roo both lectured her on how improper her behavior is. Hopefully she won't yell at us during the night. I need my beauty sleep!

For a change I don't have any complaints about Lex. I haven't had to tell him that he was stupid at all yesterday or today (so far).

Day of Rest

I had a pretty busy weekend filled with running, digging, yelling, etc. Yesterday when the Human opened the gate to let us run around in the big field, the neighbor-cows came over to see us. I yelled to let my Human know to grab the camera to take a picture of the Tubey-cow. But she scared the cows and was not able to get a picture.

Cows are not very good at conversation. Meepie said, "Wooo." They said, "Mooo."

Mondays are a day of rest for us, because my Human has to go to her stupid job.

Yum!

Add watermelon to the list of foods that I like. On the recommendation of Dave, I had my first watermelon this weekend. And I loved it! My Human gave each of us some, but I liked it best.


Fargo's kind of weird when he is given something new to eat. He will carefully smell it. Then he may take it to be polite, but he will only eat it if it meets with his approval. He did not like watermelon.

Speaking of treats, Lex had to go to the vet yesterday. He said that the vet told my Human that he has to go on a diet. He also said that the vet and my Human talked about me being "newtered." Is that when a dog gets turned into a newt? I don't know if I like that. Lex laughed at me when I asked that. So I stomped my foot and yelled at him!

Husky Logo #14

There's this company in Winfield, KS that calls itself Husky Liners. They make all sorts of liners to put in cars, trucks, etc to protect them from damage.

But I don't have much to say about them. Why? Well, because they don't have a picture of a husky anywhere in their website. I even looked through all of the pages of the Google Image Search to find a "Husky Liner" logo with a husky in it. No joy! Stupid company! I think I'm going to ask the Army of Four to look into it.

Roo Roo wanted me to tell you that my Human's car has a husky hair liner throughout it. It keeps the dust from the gravel road in check.

Vacuums on the Prowl

My friend Dave, the Haik-woo author saw my post about the stupid Dyson Animal in our house. He had this to say:

"I don't wanna scare you or anything, but I've seen that SAME THING here at our house! You don't think they roam the country tormenting Sibes, do you? I don't LIKE that thing - it yells real loud. I can't understand what it's saying, either - I don't speak Dyson. I should ask Storm. She knows some foreign languages -- she even speaks cat. Anyway - here's a pic of one trying to attack Zimmie! Can you believe that?!!?"


Dave continued: "The vacuum we had before the Orecks and the Dyson had a light on it. We thought it was a fire-breathing dragon. Zim killed it. He slayed it. Here's a pic of the Z-man in action. He's such a cool little brother."


I think we all need to be concerned!

Cartoons

I found a cartoon yesterday that was so stupid that I had to stomp my foot and yell about it:


But it did inspire me to create my own cartoon:

Tubey, "to be," 2B

I've been wanting to use this heading for sometime, but it really doesn't have anything to do with this blog entry.


We've been doing a lot of digging in the big field. We were doing some excavation along the fence line, and do you know what my stupid Human did then? She filled a bucket full of our dog poop and then poured it into the nice trench we were making. She doesn't respect our craft!

Cowboy

This photo is one of Fargo's favorites. And this is why he got the nickname "Cowboy." My Human took Fargo to get his picture taken around Halloween (Howloween?) in 2001. He got this picture taken the same weekend that he tested for and got his Canine Good Citizen certificate.

Fargo is a good dog in public, but he has a really ornery side in private. If I'm in my box and my Human tries to go get some attention from Lex, the ever vigilant Fargo will sneak up on her and bite her butt. Not enough to hurt, but enough to startle her.

Haik-woos

Our friend Dave (pictured above) is a very talented Sibe. As a member of the "Army of Four, not only does he help his mom make quilts (as the guide dog for the color blind), but he has authored several fine haik-woos. Two of them are even about me!

"Breed All About It"

Yesterday morning my Human saw that the Breed All About It episode on Animal Planet was on Siberian Huskies. So she turned it on. She also was cruel enough to turn on the surround sound. Roo Roo and I looked around for where the huskies were. We finally found them in that big picture thing that a lot of humans have in their house.

At one point the huskies on the picture thing were running. I wanted to get there before them, so I took off. I even decided to leave my toilet paper tube I was destroying on the floor. But when I got back, it was gone. I don't want to point paws, but I think that one of the Alaskan Huskies on the show must've taken it. I know it couldn't have been a Siberian Husky!

Stupid Human Language

Why is the word "upholstery" not pronounced "UH-FOLSTERY?"

Husky Logo #13

Huskies who play hockey!!!!

This week's featured logo is for the New England Huskies Junior Hockey Club. I was trying to find their win/loss record, but it wasn't readily apparent. So, I assume they won some games and lost some others.

Go Huskies!!!!

July Featured Blog

Congrats to Mary-Margaret O'Brien for winning the "Awesome Blog Award" on the Dogs with Blogs site.

I will be the featured blog in July on that same site. Thanks for everyone for voting for me and stopping by my blog.

On the Furniture

I have read in the comments that some unfortunate dogs are not "allowed" on the furniture. Well, at our house we sometimes allow my Human to get up on the furniture. She had to get new sofa-couches so that she'd have a place to sit. She actually likes sleeping on the floor a lot of the time. She says that it makes her back feel better. Sometimes we sleep on the floor with her, and sometimes we sleep on the sofa-couches and/or bed. We have a lot of choices.

Sorry that I didn't have a new blog entry yesterday. I had to spend all day at a stupid meeting. I didn't learn anything of any value. Meetings are stupid!

And for those who care about this sort of thing, I spoke too early about the stupid birds in the attic. They're back!

And finally, who is this "Microsoft" and why do they keep wanting me to restart my computer?

Look What I Found

That stupid noisy thing in our house has a blog now! I don't talk vacuum, so I don't know what it's saying about me! I don't trust it!

Tall Grass Short

Tyler, my Human's employee finished shortening all of the grass in the big field. We enjoyed watching him work, but we hated the noise that the grass shortening machine made. He has a husky of his own, so that's why my Human knew that he'd be a good choice for the job.

After my Human got home, she let us run around in the big field and swim in our pool if we so chose. Lex and Niki didn't really like running around, but the rest of us did. At first we had a race. Roo Roo was the champion of that. She wanted me to show you the above photos of her winning the race. (And the below picture is Niki & Lex retreating to the house.)


There are few things happier than huskies running!


We didn't find any animals in the field, but Fargo said there was a mole or something under ground. He tried to dig it up, but it didn't stick around.

Mowing

Slowly the tall grass in the big field is being shortened. It grew so tall that we couldn't see each other when we were in it. And my Human couldn't see us, either. She hadn't let us run around in it for a while due to the height of the grass and the potential for us to get stupid ticks as stowaways.

I hate ticks! They're stupid!


I'm falling behind in the competition for "Awesome Blog." No pressure, but if you happen to vote for me, that would be great.
