Huskies, Vehicles & Books

The last post got mom to remembering one of her favorite all time books - and it has huskies & librarians in it! She's gotta throw in book stuff once in a while or they kick her out of the librarian club.

Aunt Lulu, by Daniel Pinkwater. Aunt Lulu's nephew tells a tale of his big, strong librarian aunt who once lived in Alaska, where she'd harness up her 14 huskies, yell, "Mush Melvin, Louise, Phoebe, Willie, Norman, Hortense, Bruce, Susie, Charles, Teddie, Neddie, Eddie, Freddie and Sweetie Pie," and set off to deliver a sled full of books to the miners in the wilderness. She gets tired of miners & snow, she she decides to move to New Jersey near her nephew and she brings her dogs with her. She hitches them up to a sled with wheels in the summer & wears silly sunglasses - so do her huskies! Mush!

It's an oldie, but a goodie and a must read for little bi-peds who love huskies & librarians. And who wouldn't love huskies or librarians?

Vehicle Game

We've been tagged by Echo in a new blog game: What kind of vehicle are you? You have to think of what type of vehicle your personality most resembles.

hmmmm...consulting daddy....he's the car expert.

We think Shiloh would be most like a white Mazda Miata: small, sleek and very fast. Here's one with blue stripes - cuz he has blue eyes.

Guinness, well, let's admit it, she's a bit more obvious. A Guinness delivery truck!

This game reminds mommy of the car that dad had when they were young and still dating. He had long hair then and wore a leather jacket and drove a really cool 1967 Ford Falcon. He was very sad the day that car finally went away. Mom was too scared to drive it!

Let's see, we'll tag Kelsey Ann & the rest of the Kapp Pack, Pippadog, Rocky & Mati, and The Husky in the Window! Can't wait to see what kind of vehicles they would be.

A new family

Well, Pippadog and everypup, we have met the potential adopters and, of course, everyone got along great. So, Misty is now spending the first night at her new furever family's house. Her new brother, Jesse dog, is a big playful goober and will keep her on her toes. He loves to play, but he's bigger than Shiloh, so it's gonna take lots of adjustment getting used to everything and everyone.

They will keep in touch to tell us how she is doing, and they look like great doggy loving folks. They've had husky/GSD mixes before and new mom fell for her at Green Lane. she passed dad's approval & Jesse's approval very quickly. She will be very happy there, as long as she doesn't get hold of their chickens. Fresh eggs everyday! Woo Hoo!

Our mommy is very sad and misses Misty's kisses already. But she was a brave foster mommy and said she only cried a little bit in the car on the way home. We will stick close by her tonight, cuz daddy is away tonight too, and make sure she has lots of doggy love. We love you Misty! Woo!

Don't worry, Pippa, she will always be your grrlfriend. she told us to send you very many kisses.

Gentle woos

Mom missed a great opportunity for video tonight. Misty was outside this evening and something got her howling. We finally heard her - she was the only one doing it and we aren't sure what got her going. She has a very sweet, high and subtle woo - very lady like. I hope we get to show you on video sometime soon.

Cross your paws, though. Some very nice folks are interested in adopting her. We will likely be meeting them in the next few weeks. Gosh, we are gonna miss her if she goes! But who could not want that sweet kisser grrl? Uh, oh. Mommy is gettin all squishy again....better go snuggle and make her feel better. She'll always have us.

Back to School!

Haroo, Everypup! Shiloh here.

It's back to school time for us! I L-U-V going to school! As you can see, I am quite happy to be back at school. Misty is too, but she is still recovering from her Meet & Greet Weekend at Green Lane Park this weekend. It was gross, humid and hot, but that didn't stop our girl from kissing every adoring fan in the hopes of finding a fur-ever home. She was a bit kranky on Sunday with the other dogs, but she did her best with the adoring bipeds. She was an awesome girl tonight at school too - she did a perfect recall even though it was gross & hot in our classroom.

The beginner class got to be outside, but by the time they were done we had to go inside cuz it was too dark & buggy. There was a puppy chihuahua no bigger that my paw! He gave mommy baby kisses on her nose.

Speaking of bugs, meet our newest house mate - Boris. This huge spider lives under our outside light. He's got to be the size of a silver dollar. He sure catches lots of bugs in his web.

Daddy thinks he's really cool, but he gives mommy the creeps.

Mom is crazy

Haroo, Everypup. Guinness reporting here. I need to tell everypup that our mom is officially crazy. She's been messin with our house and really disrupting our nap schedules. we heard she was taking this week off and we were lookin forward to to just hangin with us pups and napping with us. But nope. She has taken our perfectly furry & fine den (she calls it a living room) and changed it all up. Puttin stuff on the walls that smells funny and looks all different. It was a very dirty & pale yellow before she got to it.


Our den before mom got to it.
And then during the insanity...

We do have to admit that our bewootiful pomegranate couch looks much better in there now. But we've seen this insanity before. She did this to both of the little rooms where water runs out of the walls and has water bowls we aren't allowed to drink from, but they can sit on any time they please. That was a real mess! At least she wasn't tearing down the walls this time. We just stayed out of her way, she didn't want our help for some reason. Our tails could have helped with the bottom parts anyway.

Hey, Dave - do you approve of her color choice? Did she consult you on this?

We have a feeling it's only the beginning. we overheard her talkin about the dining room being next. At least she takes the weekend off to take Misty out to some place called Green Lane. Until then, I'm gonna protect my crate so mom doesn't get her paws on it.

Festivities! Hike n Howl!

What an awesome day! The Hike N. Howl was a huge success! So many doggies, and so much husky love! The weather was absolutely perfect. Rocky pup was as cute as a puppy can be.

Here's a great family portrait - we just wish Guinness could have been there with us.

Shiloh got to hang out with his former foster dad, Dave. Dave is a good friend of mom & dad, so these best buds get to visit very often.

It was hard work being so cute and adorable all day and we were pretty tired at the end of the day. We are just so happy that the hike was a great success and everypup - over 200 doggies! - had a great time. Imagine how much fun next year will be. Until then, we're gonna rest up for the Green Lane Scotts-Irish fest next weekend.




Um, who was this pup? That's just not right.
