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.

Shiloh and Misty are very excited about Hike n Howl and just can't seem to keep still. They should be resting, saving their strength for the day tomorrow. Misty has been practicing her kissing technique all week to be sure she can win the kissing contest.

Meanwhile, we think Guinness is planning a party here at the house because she won't have the two white ones under foot. She's been too cooperative while Mom's been cleaning the house this week. We hope we meet lots of friends tomorrow. Join us if you can, stay tuned for pictures and updates if you can't. And it's never too late to sponsor!

Playin ball with daddy

Haroo, Everypuppy! Misty here to tell you about my dad's new trick. We had a really great time at the dog park yesterday, even if we were the only pups there. It was a little humid, but it was early, so it wasn't too hot. Anyroo, I found a ball that somepuppy left behind and taught daddy a new trick called, "throw the ball, human." He did very well, after some initial training.

Now, before you huskies get upset about my "doing tricks," remember, I am training dad. And, I am half GSD too. Guinness trained dad to throw the freebee for her a long time ago. All she needs to do is bring it to him now and he does just as he is supposed too. So, I thought that a little training session of my own was necessary.

Misty, Daddy and a lil' bit of bootie

All together now, "Oh, how cuuuuuute."

Misty's Yarn

Haroo, Everypuppy! Misty here. Look what mom made. She worked hard on that. Her paws are always playing with those little sticks and yarn and this is one of the many things that happened. Then we discovered that she can put it on. I guess that's good since she doesn't have enough fur. I don't understand her color choice, tho'. Don't you think white would be better? But this color sure shows off all of our contributions to this project.

Mommy looks sleepy here - this was taken first thing this morning before she went to wrrrk. I am usually very camera shy, but I wanted her to know how much I wanted to go outside when she was done showing off.

Now she's gonna work on other projects for little bipeds & this interesting holiday that Shiloh & Guinness refer to as "the day millions of people come to our house and eat food, pet us dogs, then mom and dad go to sleep, wake up and everybody gets to open presents" day.

Pinkness

Haroo, Everypuppy! Our extra handsome Pippa has been concerned about his extra cute muzzle turning pink. We think it's just him blushing over all of his girlfriends. We did promise to tell the story of when Guinness turned pink.

Once upon a time there was a sweet puppy at a local pet store where they take unwanted litter puppies (no puppy mill puppies!). There she was, all curled up, the only one of her litter there. Mom fell in love & took her home as a birthday present for daddy. She met her big brother General and life was good for a few days. Well, it turned out the puppy brought home a virus and her immune system was really struggling to fight it off. That allowed evil puppy mange to take over about 80% of our sweet baby girl. She was loosing all of her pretty fur and just looked naked, pink and sad.

Off she went to the vet. He said mom & dad had to put this nasty, icky stuff all over her to kill those evil mites. It smelled like chemicals and mom was scared that the stuff would be worse for her baby girl than the mites. Thank goodness Guinness finally got rid of those nasty critters. This picture shows her at about 1 year old, still pink, but getting her fur back. Look at those long legs & ears!
