Have no fear, I'm still here enjoying snacks and practicing fur mi big day. Yep, it's true...it's a birthday. Now, how am I going to sign the post? Maybe you can help me. Vote for your favorite...Summiiii or Summiv.

We don't need no STINKIN' LEASHES...

2009-07-26T19:38:00.000-07:00

Woo there Everione~

Check out the pics from today. Mom is startin' to trust us a little more so today was mi first ever "free" day. I got to cruise the yard with NO LEASH!! Kaynh and Echo did too for a little bit. Kiana got a free run with Kaynh but had Dad worried when she didn't come back from the deer corner right away. Mom wasn't as worried as he was. She trusts us a little more than he does. Everipup except for Denali got a free run. He's a known flight risk but he got a run with the long rope today so he was happi. BTW....we've got her right where we want her...HA!!

I bet all of woo are wondering why she would give us a "free" day...if you have to know right away you can look at the veri last picture. Be brave though and check out the other pics first.

Ahh....the smell of FREEDOM!!!!

Cruisin' the garden....

Perimeter duty and patrol with Kaynh...

The reasons.....

Can you tell what they are? This is a Momma raccoon and her two babies. We snoofed out at least five of 'em so far. Woo just never know what you're gonna snoof around here.....

Keep it furri everione~

Shirts for Phantom

2009-07-19T21:09:00.000-07:00

Woo there Everione~

Gheesh, FINALLY!! I woo'd and woo'd at Mom to get me back on here. There was summthin' furri important that I needed to get done. I flashed the chocolate browns at her and then threatened to smoosh her and finalli she caved and was putti in my paws for the evening. I directed her to the bedroom and convinced her to find the craziest colored shirt she could and then I challenged her to squeeze me in to it. It is actualli quite stretchi and maybe even a little bit comfi. Aniway, I'm joining summ of my furiends in shirt support blogs fur our buddi Phantom of the OP Pack. He had summ surgery and is not too happi about having to wear "the shirt" so a bunch of us wanted to show him that it isn't all that bad and we have managed to actualli put a lot of smiles on the biped faces whilst trying on summ biped "fur". Well, here's my photo shoot. Phantom...just wanted to give you a "woo out": I'm here fur ya pal. Keep feelin' better everiday!!!!

Here's summthin' to put that Siberian smile back on yer face smile....

Ummm...is this what they call a muscle shirt?

HaRooo......Get Well Soon!!!

Remember.....Keep it Furri Everione!!

When Cheatin' Is Good.....

2009-03-14T19:27:00.000-07:00

Woo there Everipup, Kitti, Hammi and Biped~

I'm sure woo all will understand the title of this blog by the time it's all done so I'll get started splainin'. See, everi now n' then Mom just takes off and when she comes back there is lots of snoofin' to do. Here are some pics of what she's been up to....

This is Lacey. She was one of the first pups that we snoofed on Mom after she had been away on a weekend day. Usually, she hangs around with us on the weekends but this day she was gone for a few hours and came home smellin' like a Brittney. I heard from my Mal-a-Sis, HollyBolliBananaBoo, that her bipeds and MY Mom had a rendevoux in Adair, IA and shared some time with Lacey. The Woo Crew and I received some good intel provided by my SibeSibs' handsome brothers (Echo's brother, Dante and Kaynh's brother, Koda), that THEIR Mom and MY Mom met in Des Moines with this pretti girl and THEY snoofed Brittney too when their Mom got home....HMMMM!

Then she was gone another day and came home smellin' like a little yellow lab boy. I couldn't find any photographic evidence of this guy. I heard her say that he was like a blur on the end of the leash. All over the place, I guess. She reportedly hung out with him in Des Moines for a bit. Rumor has it she got him a duck toy and he chewed it's yellow foot off before she knew it. She figures someone down the line probably noticed some sort of yellow "deposit" and is still wondering what "that" was. They were spotted walking together at a park and she was giving him treats and water. Pfft....probably one of MY treats that she snuck outta here.

Then there was TODAY. She fussed around with the car and I saw her re-arranging some stuff. I saw a blanket, a bowl and TREATS go in the car. She came out and gave us our Scoobi Snacks and sang MY song to me so I would dance for her and wished us well with her signature "Bye Babies, Have a good day, I love you" and away she went. She was gone ALL DAY LONG and came home smelling like:

AUSSIES!!! These girls are AUSSOME aren't they? What beauties!! That's Daisy on the left with the blue leash and on the right is her bewootiful sis, Lily. Mom called them The Flower Girls. Hey, I just want it to be known right now that I would not have been opposed to Mom hijacking them from their furever home and bringin' them HERE!!!

OK...I hope woo are all ready for a little exercise cuz Mom is totally blogger challenged and took a couple veri good pics BUT can't figure out how to turn them the right way, so warm up those neck muscles and check out these pics....

Aren't they just adorable? This stoopid economi has affected way too many good bipeds and these girls' Mom had to make a veri difficult,but loving decision and found some wonderful people that helped find these girls a new, wonderful home. They started in Lincoln, NE and will end up on 20 acres near Pittsburgh, PA which is furri "khose" to a veri special, brown-eyed, fluffi-tailed girl o' mine. They are spending the night in Indiana tonight and will make their way to their furever home by the end of Sunday. What brave, adventurous girls!!

So woo see....summ times cheatin' IS good. It's been interesting to "meet" these pups via snoof-mail and I can't help but bust with happiness and hope that they have furri long and happi lives ahead of them.

What? What do I do while Mom is off cheatin'? Well....I practice my surgical skills:

AND...

work on my SnoNose!!!!

So remember, summ times when your biped comes back home and you know they've been cheatin' on woo, it's not always what you think. Summ times they are doin' somethin' realli special. So, I want to take this opportunity to give a Summi-sized PAWS UP to all of the special bipeds out there who luv us, support us and care fur us whether we are theirs or not.

Remember to keep it furrii....

A "BIG" brother??

2009-02-22T20:25:00.000-08:00

Woo there~

Hey everyone. Check out these new pics! Could it be that I might be getting a new BIG brother? Has Mom been lookin' for a playmate for me that's realli Summi size?

Here are a couple handsome fellas. Can you tell it was cold out? Woo can see their breath!!

Check out this guy....a bi-eyed Siberian HORSE!!

If you think I have a big snooter, check out the close up on this guy!! But he doesn't have a snow nose....

Mom likes this picture....
but she told me that this is her favorite.

Ummm....I reminded her that "THIS" should be her favorite. **ATTN VIEWERS** Summ of the content in the next picture may be considered offensive or disturbing. If you have an aversion to viewing surgical procedures and decapitations, please do not view the following picture.

HEY...I'm a WORKING breed and I got a furri special award at the recent MangoMinster (more on that soon) AND I have a snow nose......HaROOOO!!!!

I'll be on the lookout for a new playmate, I hope you enjoyed checking out the options with me.

It's Fair Time

2009-02-07T20:27:00.000-08:00

Woo there EveriPup~

What do you think of the title? It's not realli "Fair Time" cuz it's actualli February, but it is "Fair Time" for my blog. My assistant has been hiding these pictures away and I was pawing through her stash and thought I should share them.

For starters, they have a "baby" building at the fair and here are some of the babies that were born at the fair. Here is a baby goat and his/her very tired Mommi.....

Here is a little lamb....I wonder where Mary is?They brought the Budweiser Clydesdales this year. Here is one of the awesome members of the team....

And here is their beautiful canine mascot. Rumor has it "she" took a couple unscheduled excursions through the fairground and they had to put out an APD (all points dalmation) bulletin to get her back....

Mom and Dad always head through the Agriculture Building too. It has the Famous Butter Cow and this year also had a Butter Shawn (Olympic Champion) Johnson. It also has all the fruit and vegetable displays. They always check out the vegetables because one of their very good friends is an amazing vegetable gardner and talented woodsmith. He wins lots of ribbons and this year got the Grand Champion ribbon for his vegetable display. This is it below....

Well, I hope you liked these pictures from The Iowa State Fair. Phew....this has worn me out. It was quite the tour wasn't it? Thanks for joining me. Care to join me for a nap....

Until next time...remember to keep it furri everione,

Your pal,

Me 'n Mooskiiiiii

2009-01-25T08:29:00.000-08:00

Woo there~

As most of woo know, I have a favorite toy...my Moosekolito. Actually, I have had five previous Moosekolito's known fondly as Uno, Dos, Tres, Quatro and Cinco (All bravely gave themselves to further my surgical expertise and may they rest in peace). Currently, Seis is my buddi. Most of the time we get along pretti well...then he starts stuff.What? You think I need more exercise? Hey, it's Winter, it's been -20 degrees outside. I need all this fluff!! Here, let me show you how warm I am. Let me warm you up a bit.......All I have to say is, if he keeps this up, I'll be having him sign the release for his stuffectomy in the very near future.

Remember everipup....Keep it Furri....

2008-12-04T21:02:00.000-08:00

Woo there EveriPup~
Guess what??? I'm BACK!! It's been waaay too long since I have gotten to post. The GREAT news is that I have been cutting back on my Moosekolito budget and since I've been able to save a few pennies, I was able to give my assistant the 'go ahead' to get us a new laptop for blogging! WOOHOO!!!
We all know what that means. NO MORE EXCUSES for not keeping up with my blog.
Now, if we can just move off of dial-up, I'll be able to share pictures easier. Hopefully, my next post will have some included, but fur now.....

Stud Muffin Wednesday

2008-09-03T00:05:00.000-07:00

Woo there~

I've been wooing at the assitant again and I think I have managed to get her to cooperate on behalf of all the pups that are helped by Harnessed to Hope. Meeshka, the Siberian Queen of Everithing is putting on a marathon 100 blog posts this week to raise money for Harnessed to Hope so they can continue to rescue and rehome more pups. Please check out her puptastic efforts here:

http://meeshkaworld.blogspot.com/

One of the things that we have been asked to do is to post a special picture. Since, I have been taking SZK's photo taking classes, I was unable to cooperate for the special picture BUT my big siber-bro Denali did....so, here he is:

DENALI THE STUD MUFFIN

He's a veri handsome guy and he's doin' his part to help raise as many dollars as pawsible for HTH.

Thanks for helpin' me out with the post, Nali!

Keep it Furri....

Summer Visitors

2008-08-14T14:28:00.000-07:00

Woo there~

Since summer is flyin' by, I thought I better share some pics of some of the visitors that have stopped by my place.

First there was this little guy that Dad found in our kennel after we alerted him to the invasion. He looks kind of scary and big in one picture but turns out....

he was just a wee little guy.

And then there were these little ones:

Aren't they just the cutest??
And then there is the visitor that never goes away:

Yep, that's Porchie in all his shaved glori. Silly guy disappeared the entire winter and came back looking like a matted mess. I don't know how much money my hu-mom spent to get him shaved but I'm pretty sure she took it out of MY toy budget.

If it gets too bad, I'll just steal Echo's bunni:Pffft.......

Remember to keep it furri,
Summi

OK..OK!!!

2008-07-18T14:59:00.000-07:00

That was the response I got from my lazi assistant when I asked her to get me back into the blog world AGAIN. I've got lots of great ideas and stories to share but getting them from my noggin' to her moving fingers has proved difficult. So, here are a few pics that I don't think I have shared yet....anyone want to get "dirty"?

This...

plus this...

equals...
Woo there Dad....whatcha doin? Huh? What was "I" doin'?

Ummm......nothin'

Hehe.....remember everipup....Keep it Furri~

PeeEss: I LOVE chocolate lakes!!!

The EYES have it...

2008-06-16T14:26:00.000-07:00

Woo there~

I've gotten pretty lucky getting my assistant to get me back in the blog world and here is my next story. Some of you already know about this but "she" told me that I really do have to tell everyone "officially" some news...it's not bad news...but it's not that great either....it's just news!

It kind of all started here...

This is me helping train my assistant. She had to go to a lot of classes to learn how to give me livergreat samwiches the right way. Here I am giving her the "when I lay down, you give me livergreat" cue. This next one is the "when I sit, you give me livergreat" cue. As you can see by these pictures, I have my work cut out for me!!

I finally got her to graduate and we were leaving after the big celebration where I wowed the crowd with my training skills which included sit, shake and the impressive roll-over, when "it" happened. I met a guy that I didn't really seem to like very well. He kind of scared me and I showed him that he made me nervous. Well, Mom was worried because I pretty much like everyone. Then she noticed that I was looking at the steps real close when I went up the stairs at home. Hmmm....her tiny little brain started to wonder if there was something wrong. She checked with some people about my "issues" and they said I needed my "chocolate browns" checked. Since we live so furry close to Iowa State University Veterinary School we got an appointment there with their canine ophthalmologist, Dr. Betts who has been there for 30+ years and has looked at a lot of eyes. Here I am in the waiting room...

Mom thought she would try to find me something to look at that would make the time go faster. Can you believe that "this" is the first thing she found?

Pffffft....I'd rather take a nap:

So I did.....

Finally she came up with something better. I'd like to meet this guy and compare swappers.

Pretty soon, my doctor came out and took me back in a room. First he gave me snacks and then he got out some little bouncy balls and I chased them all over the room for him cuz he kept dropping them. Then he turned down the light and took a fancy pen out of his pocket and looked in my eyes with it. Then he gave it to Mom and she looked in my eyes. I have CRYSTALS in there. I thought that was kind of cool when I first heard it but I guess you're not supposed to have them grow in your eyes. Mom figured that those "crystals" were making people look different to me and making the stairs hard to see. My doctor called them "bilateral cataracts" and said that we just have to watch them for now. I'm going to go see one of my favorite people soon. His name is Scott and he runs the training center that I take Mom too. He is going to help me train her some more so she knows how to help me "see" things better if I end up growing more crystals.

Some of my furry good friends sent a wonderful gift to my Mom cuz she was bein' a baby about my crystals and I promise to share that furry wonderful story soon. But, in the mean time, I know there are a lot of you who are interested in getting another perspective on just how big I am, so I am going to share a furry awesome picture of me and Hollybollybananaboo's Mom!! She gives great hugs....and snooter kisses too!! I hope she comes back to visit with my furry special mal-a-sis Holly very soon.

Thanks to all my friends for thinking about me and for dropping by my blog, but please don't worry about me...I've got a really good snooter!

Remember all.....keep it furry!

I'm BAAACK!!

2008-06-06T14:47:00.000-07:00

Woo there pups~

After an extended absence, I am back to blog world!! I've got to try to catch you all up on what I've been up to since my last blog but I'm going to have to do that a little bit at a time. For now, here are some pictures of our last big snow storm (kind of like a flash-back). Plus, since it is starting to get warm, I thought some of you might want to be reminded of how wonderfully COOL snow it.

ME, of course...enjoying the gloriously COOL snow!

Dad really enjoying the gloriously COOL snow!

This is Dad enjoying the gloriously COOL snow!

Dad still enjoying the gloriously COOL snow!

Check this thing out...it's a gloriously COOL snow movin' machine that our nice neighbor brought over to help us "out" with. It had really big paws and TEETH!

Dad using the gloriously COOL snow as an art medium!

ME after a long day of enjoying the gloriously COOL snow!

ME enjoying a gloriously COOL snooter kiss!

I've sure missed everyone and it's great to back bloggin'!

MIA

2008-03-25T15:43:00.000-07:00

My assistant has been MIA. Up early, home late....some four letter word she keeps muttering about. So until I can get her to focus on what is REALLY important.....ME....I am offering up a few pictures for your enjoyment.

This is me at five weeks when the bipeds first came out to see me. You can see that Mom is VERY impressed with my cuteness and my massive five week old swappers!!

These are a couple of pictures of my belly on the day they came to take me home, 12-24-2006. Who wouldn't love ME for a Christmas gift??

I made myself right at home. From this position I could just roll over and take a drink when I woke up.

Those darn ears of mine were almost as big as my swappers and it took a lot of naps to convince them to stand up like they were supposed to.

Finally, here I am with Tres...my third Moosekolito. He is named after my litter-brother Tres. Moosekolito Tres has been gone for a while. I think he is somewhere with Dave's Wonky "swimmin' with the fishes". I hope he is having fun with Wonky. My new Moosekolito Quatro has been keeping me company since Tres left for the swimmin' hole. Quatro looks just the same as Tres but he is still fluffy because I haven't yet decided when he will get his "stuff-ectomy".

I sure do miss everypup and hope all of you are all getting lots of walks, treats and tummy rubs.

Remember....Keep it Furry,

Summi

How I've Grown

2008-02-21T12:27:00.000-08:00

A lot of my furiends seem to be wondering how BIG I am. I thought I would put up a few pics so everypup could at least see how much I have grown since my hu-mom and hu-dad brought be home to live with my SibeSibs.

Here is the first picture from December 2006:

This is the doorway out to our front deck. I claimed it when I was just a little pup as one of my favorite spots. As you can see by the next picture, I've claimed a bit more doorway. This picture is from late February 2007:

For some reason the doorway keeps getting smaller but it is still one of my favorite spots. This last picture is from January 2008.

I'm still trying to figure out a good way to show everyone how big my swappers are but until I do that, I had Mom try to show everyone what she lovingly calls "my big ole malamute head". I thought it was a silly idea but it was the only thing she could find that was about as big as my head.

That's one of Dad's and it's a size 12.

Mom still can't believe that I can do this:

But I CAN!!!
(PeeS: I'm just warming up the floor of the shower for Mom)

I hope this helped all of woo get some idea of how much I have grown and how big I am now.

Until next time, remember....Keep it Furry!

The "Blues"

2008-01-30T14:40:00.000-08:00

Woos from SiberIA.~

It's a comfy 14 degrees right now and Kiana and her tongue are in the house. As you know from my previous PupLick Service Announcement she messed up her tongue. For some silly Siberian reason, she keeps licking the ice now and her tongue won't heal so the bipeds leave her in the house to lay on the couch or their bed or anywhere else she pleases. I'm wondering if she somehow planned this all out....hmmmm!

Anyway, I've got a couple cool pictures to share with you:

Mom was playin with the color on some of our pictures and she liked the way this one turned out from the ice storm.

Here's another one in black and white of one of the trees behind our garage with ice all over it.

This is HollyBollyBananaBoo and me in black and white...well, I'm pretty much always in black and white...ha rooooo!

This is a close up of Denali and my paws after our sledding day when he was telling me how well I did. Mom put this in something called "sepia"...I told you she was "playin".

OH YEAH!! I bet you are wondering why I titled this The "Blues" aren't you???

Well...here you go...this is my "sibe-ling" Denali. He's a good guy and aren't his eyes cool???

Well...there you have The "Blues".....

Until next time.....remember:

Keep it furry!!!

Puplick Service Announcement

2008-01-18T14:41:00.000-08:00

Summit here with a message for all of my furry, four-pawed friends! Be careful what you lick when the temperature drops.

It was a brisk 7 degrees last evening and we were anxious to get into the house for the night. When Dad brought us in, Mom noticed that Kiana's front legs were "pink"! She sent everyone to their crates or "rooms" so she could look her over good. She wiped Kiana's legs with her hand and discovered that they were wet and frozen...and still pink. She got a paper towel and rubbed her legs and some of the pink came off. Hmmmm....I could just hear the rocks tumbling around in her head. She looked all over her chest for other red stuff. Well, finally she remembered that Kiana likes to "lick" her front legs. It literally got brighter in our house when the light bulb in her head went off and she said...."Hey, let me see your tongue!"

Well, much to her surprise this is what Kiana's tongue looked like:

Ouchie OWWWW!!!

Can you see those red spots there on her tongue?

"We" know what happened outside and aren't telling but, Mom thinks that she figured it out. Yup, the old warm, wet tongue on the cold, frozen, metal post. Mom's going to make her watch "A Christmas Story" tonight so she can see what happens to bipeds when they try that.

Please, if you or any of your pack mates think that this would be silly, fun or entertaining remember....you could lose your licker.

Stay safe and remember.....

Keep it furry!

Who is this "Thunder" guy??

2008-01-15T08:43:00.000-08:00

I've been hearing a lot the last week or so about some special Siberian by the name of Thunder. Mom was spending some time with her "Sibernutter" friends when she saw a post about this guy who was in a shelter in Jefferson, IA. That is only about an hour and a half away from us so she decided to help get him a new home. He was one popular guy!! Several people said they would like to give him a furever home. His new family ended up being in Colorado so Mom left me with Dad fur the weekend and picked up "El Guapo" (the name the nice shelter lady gave him because it means "Handsome one") in Jefferson then snagged Holly's mom (who also left Holly for the weekend) then they picked up another little guy in Salina, KS. His name was Skylar. The gal told them that Skylar had "bitten someone" in his adoptive home, that he didn't like men and didn't like the back of his neck touched. Well, in my mal-opinion, if some stupid guy had been mean to me and hurt my neck I wouldn't like them either and I probably would have asked him to stop with my teeth too!!! Mom didn't think that he even did that because all he did was a little play biting and who hasn't done THAT???

Anyway, they took off and headed across Kansas and into Colorado. They met Ralph who was going to rehab and foster Skylar in Castle Rock, CO. Skylar didn't like him but Ralph got down on the ground and was very patient with him. With the help of a couple livergreat sandwiches he soon had Skylar "eating out of his hand". Mom said livergreat worked wonders!! It was even what got Skylar in Ralph's truck and Ralph was so nice that he didn't mind shaking Mom's hand even though it had livergreat on it!!! Holly's mom has all the pictures of Skylar and I am sure Holly will make her put some of them on Holly's blog....or there will be squishing and smooshing until it happens.

While Skylar was "all puppy" the "Mal-a-Moms" (I think they like that new name) decided that Thunder was actually a cat zipped into a Siberian suit!!! He slept a lot and was a perfect gentleman the entire trip. He was really good with Skylar too! Since his new sister is the legendary Stormy, who is the expert at tissue destruction and re-distribution, they are hoping that she will woo that cat right out of him and help him find his inner-Sibe!

Here are some pictures of the handsome Thunder during his trip and meeting his new family.

Mom said he was a really good c0-pilot....well, until he fell asleep. Which he did a lot! They thought is was maybe some of the quietest time that he might have had in a while.

Yup....this is what he looked like most of the time.

Here he is at his new home....

Hello there new Mommy!!!

Woo don't look like a Siberian! (That's one of Stormy's Pompom brothers JoJo)

That's Holly's Mom and Thunder's new Mom checking him for a zipper. He looks pretty comfortable already, doesn't he???

Mom was very happy to be able to help these two Siberians get new homes and I was furry glad to see her when she got home!! She had visited with the AO4 on the way home and said that my good pal Dave was just one sweet guy AND they gave them their Sunday Salute which meant a lot to Mom. I am glad she got to check Dave out in "fur"son since he and my mal-a-sis Holly are now apparently "promised" to each other. I'll let one of their Moms tell THAT story. She said that I would like all of the AO4 and they put on quite the Siberian skills show. She said they were very gracious hosts and hostesses and that their Mom and Dad were wonderful too.

Maybe next time they take off on one of these excursions they will take me along. Gonna have to work on her with the ole "chocolate browns" a bit more....

High paws to Thunder and Skylar, the Mal-a-Moms and evefurryone that helped these fine boys. That includes all of the Sibernutters who kept them in their thoughts and prayers during the trip. I know that meant a lot to Mom.

Remember to Keep it Furry.....

Finally!!!

2008-01-10T10:33:00.000-08:00

I have finally finished negotiations with my keyboard staff and she has agreed to post this week before everypup thinks I have disappeared. She has been working for several days to help a couple of pups get to new homes in Colorado and they took poor Denali in for his snip-snip so I have been basically ignored for a few days. I'm just lucky that they didn't forget to FEED me!! Good thing I have my trusty Moosekolito to keep me company. This is Tres...I haven't completely destroyed him yet but he did undergo a partial stuff-ectomy a couple of weeks ago. I have been taking it easy on him since then. The ones that came before him, Uno and Dos have oddly disappreared so I am trying to keep Tres around a little longer.

I also see that the bewootiful Khyra has given me an award. This is the very first award I have ever received...unless I can count the graduation certificate I got from my obedience class. Anyway, it is a wonderful honor and I understand that I am to pass it along and I promise to do so very soon. I'm so furry glad I can help "make your day"!!

In addition to a picture of my Moosekolito and my award, I am including a few pictures of stuff that has been going on around here recently:

I got a furry special package from my bewootiful mala-sis Holly! It had a Sibe stuffy, some wonderful chewies and a big mug for Mom with a dog sled on it. Thank woo Holly!!

Speaking of dog sleds:

Here is my Mom with our sled and the wonderful snow we had fur a while at our place.

I know this is a little far away but that is me on the right with Echo and Denali and Dad. It was a lot more fun bringing him back than it was taking him UP the hill at the beginning!!

Some of woo may want to turn away from the computer for this next picture so woo don't attack the screen. This is a picture of one of the things at our place that drives me CRAZY!!

It's the PORCH KITTY!!!! Mom had to lock her in the garage whilst we were sledding cuz she thought I would drag her and the sled after the cat. I 'm not sure why she thought THAT!!

This is a far away picture too but woo can see the strap of my harness going down my chest! I must say that I fill out my harness quite well....it is all about looking good isn't it???

This is Denali and I after my first real snow sledding. He's a pretty good guy. He was telling me that I did a good job and that I'll get the hang of it soon. I hope I can pull as good as him someday. He is very serious about his work on the sled. I think he is trying to paw-meld some of his talent into my swappers.
Now we just need the snow to come back so I can try again. We might be going to a Boy Scout Winter camp next weekend to talk about dog sledding. Maybe I'll learn some more stuff too.

Wooo-ps, I almost furgot to announce what those huge tracks were in our field over Christmas. They were, indeed, WILD TURKEY!! There must have been a whole pack of them down there. We had a few correct answers and some fun ones too....Thanks for posting your guesses!!

Well, the keyboard staff is starting to whine so I better let her work on something else fur a while. But one more request before we go:

Everypup please keep your paws crossed for Holly's and my hu-mom as they venture out to Colorado with the Iowa pup Thunder and the Kansas puppy Skylar to get them to their new families. Of course, I would like to go too but Mom says I need to stay home and take care of Dad. Guess I have to start thinking about that.....how to "take care" of Dad. I'll let woo know in my next post.

Woos everypup and remember to Keep it Furry!!

A Furry Merry Christmas

2007-12-28T12:53:00.000-08:00

A late but very sincere wish that you all had a furry Merry Christmas!! It seems like my bipeds were in "hurry" mode for the last week. Mom took off last Friday to pick up her Mom and drove for several hours in the icky fog. Then on Saturday they all left and Dad dropped off the girls at the fancy sitting place and they watched the Rockettes kick around the stage. When they tried to come home they discovered that the new snow, bitter cold and howling winds (no, not us) had made our long driveway like a bobsled run. Mom was worried but Dad and his trusty truck got everyone home safe. We all came in early and lounged around all night. Grandmom likes us a whole bunch and gives us lots of ear skritchies but we have to be careful that we don't knock her down cuz she's 82...that's like 574 in dog years!!! Mom did her best to keep me off the bed where Grandmom was but I got up there to wake her up anyway. Nobody should miss being awakened by a Super Morning Mal!! They left the next day and took the Grandmom back to Glenwood where they celebrated Christmas with the pup-cousins - two pugs (Rocky and Zeke), a schnoodle (Ebby) and a jack russell terror (Cruiser)! They were back that night and we were very glad to see them. Then it was Christmas Eve and they wrapped a whole bunch of presents, Dad cleaned the carpet and Mom did some food planning then they had to go into town (yes, they are HICKS now) and finish up stuff for Christmas Day. We got to come in early cuz Mom was tired and just wanted to hang out with us for a while.

Christmas morning came and everyone went outside for a while while Mom did some more party preparations and we finally got to come back in and check out our Secret Santa gift and some special stuffies that Dad had picked out for us. The carpet was covered with dog toys!! Mom was making pickle wraps and each of us got a piece of ham with some cream cheese!!! Now we KNEW it was Christmas.

Here are some pictures of our tree and our toys. I have a picture of Grandmom too but I will save it for the next time.

Here are a couple of those infamous ate tiny reindeer!
There's another one...

These are the bewootiful ornaments that our Sibernet Secret Santa sent. Notice who is in the MIDDLE and it has my WHOLE name!!
Denali and his blue stuffie. He said he chose it cuz it matched his eyes!!
Kiana giving me the "look". Notice she has TWO of our AirDog balls!! I'm going to call her Kiana the Ball Hog Badger!!
Now you know why Mom calls her "Princess Echo"....what a suck-up!! I think she is faking!!
Kaynh hoping that Mom will take those jinglers off his collar so he can hear his ball squeak.

Well, of course those other pictures are of me.

Now, about these last two pictures....

I am going to have a contest to see if any of woo know what kind of tracks these are that the

bi-peds found in our snow on Christmas Day??

Do woo know???

Contest results and the correct answer...along with a picture of the Grandmom coming soon!!!

Stay tuned, stay warm and celebrate the New Year responsibly.

Us furkids need our bipeds to be safe!!!

A Special Delivery

2007-12-20T16:13:00.001-08:00

A very special delivery came for me yesterday in a brown truck. It came all the way from Pennswoolvania and it was from a most special khute khanine!! This is me checking to see if she might have just sent herself in the box....

Well, she wasn't in there...well, she kind of was....there was a picture of her in there!!! Mom put it up on the glass door by my crate so I can look at her when I'm in it. I thought that was really nice of her!!
There were two containers of most delicious treat in the box and I told Mom to put it down closer for me so I could see what else was in there.

Hmm....what is this???
Khool...it is my very own TOOL BOX!! It was filled with neat tools too. It had a ball, wrench, hammer and a paintbrush!! I think she remembers that I do like to work on drywall and these will come in very handy for that! So...now I have to spend some time planning my first project.

I wonder what it will be???

Actually, I think I am going to have Mom get those treats open...I need some food so I can think straight. I'm going to go in my crate and make her give it to me in there so I can look at that bewootiful picture AND have a snack. Hmmm...that's about a perfect night for a guy, isn't it???

Thank woo Khyra!! I love everything that you sent!!

Shopping for an Ice Maker - Call Mother Nature

2007-12-12T15:19:00.000-08:00

Mom says I have to make this quick but I wanted to get out a few pics of what's been goin on around here. As you know, the Midwest has been hit by an ICE STORM! We haven't had any power at our house for over 36 hours. FINALLY, the house is starting to feel like it was made just for ME and my Sibe-lings! She'll probably whine to all of you later but for now, here are some "cool" pictures I picked "ice"specially for you!

Our view!
Our driveway before Dad got to it.

Dad being dangerous!!

Echo checking out some breaking trees!

Me checking out Mom.

Echo....AGAIN!!

Denali

Kaynh feeling lucky he's outside!!

He sprinkled on our sparkly tree inside!

Mom made him sit with part of the tree to "make-up".

I told you!!!

Kiana hoping that the house cools off.

There is something in our hay....I think it's a mouse but he is quite stealthy!

We decided that it was football weather. Kiana and Kaynh were on one side....

AND I WAS ON THE OTHER!!!

WHO DO WOO THINK WON???

Well that's it for now. Everypup and everyone stay safe.

From SiberIA...

Summi the Super (I'm off to take care of some icicles) Mal

Catchin' Up

2007-12-06T15:33:00.000-08:00

It appears as though I have a bit of catching up to do. And, I'm not too sure where to start so I'll just start:

Once all the sleepy juice wore off I was pretty much back to normal. It took me a couple of days to finally convince the bi-peds to let me trot around a bit but after a while they just let me do what I normally do...run around the dog yard, jump on the fences, watch for the darn porch cat and just be me.

In the middle of my recovery came Thanksgiving and my hu-mom's mom's 82nd birthday. They were gone to Kansas City for the turkey celebration with my hu-brother and then they went to Omaha and Council Bluffs for the birthday party. They came back from that trip with some familiar but suspicious smells on them. I looked all over for Holly but I couldn't find her. Mom whispered to me that they had SNUCK OVER TO HOLLY'S HOUSE WITHOUT ME!!! See if I ever blink-blink my chocolate browns at Mom ANYMORE!!! I wondered where she was going with our other big husky stuffie. Rumor is it lives in Omaha now. Mom didn't take any pictures but if I know Holly's hu-mom...SHE DID!!

As you know, I put up my Christmas tree on my blog. What WONDERFUL friends you are and THANK YOU for all my GREAT gifts. I know that each of you put a lot of thought into picking something out for me! I also see that Mom got some Mexijuice too...please, don't make it THAT easy for her!!!

Since then it's been pretty normal around our house but now we are getting some "real" weather and I am hearing that soon I get to try my XXL harness out with the sled!! Hopefully, SOMEONE will manage to get some pictures of that! Here is one from last year when I was so new that the sled was bigger than ME!!

I also heard them talking about putting up a real tree INSIDE??? I can hardly wait to see what that is all about. I kind of remember the sparkly lights from when I was just a little guy (was I ever little you might ask - see my howling practice pic) but I'm anxious to see what this is all about. I'll keep you posted.

I had to go to the vet the other day cuz Mom freaked out about a sore that I had on my leg. I'm fine...she's the "pain". Dr. June thinks it is just a callous but they are going to watch it. OH...OH, I can't forget to tell everyone that the little thinking machine at the vet said 119. Just a few more livergreat samwiches and I'll be making that thing think even harder.

Hmmm...what else...oh yeah...I'm taking agility classes for some reason. Pretty much what that means to me right now is that I get livergreat samwiches if I do the stuff that Mom asks me to do. Turn this way...turn that way....wait for a treat....WHAT!!! (See above where I said she was a "pain").

Please remember to take care of each other. As we have been reminded lately, family and friends need to be cherished. With all the fires, floods, bridge and shooting tragedies and all of our guys and girls in the service, there are a lot of people to care about. If you can't woo to them in person just give a little nod upward and ask for their safety and comfort.

Look what Mom did to me...she found jingly thingys and put them on me. It's not like I'm going to get LOST in the HOUSE!! Oh well...she hugs me and tells me I'm handsome so I wear them around and make noise for her.

I better go check out what's goin on outside. The weatherman said SNOW. I'll let you know if he was right.

Take Care EveryPup!!

Christmas Fun

2007-11-27T15:56:00.000-08:00

What the heck!!

2007-11-21T11:54:00.000-08:00

That was my first response when I got dropped off at the vet yesterday. What the heck!?!

Last time I went there I jumped on the scale, jumped back off and went right back out the door. Not this time!! They put me in one of their boxes for a while so I made my displeasure about that known!! I heard Mom telling Annie at the front desk that she might want to think about taking phone calls outside. Annie laughed at her!! She wasn't laughing for very long!! They took me out of the box and shaved off some of my leg fur and stuck an ouchie thing in me. That's pretty much all I remember until I managed to moan and groan myself awake a little later. Mom came back for me and Katie (the tech) told her that I had quite a set of pipes on me! Well considering that I was walking funny and felt a little lighter back "there", I am guessing that it must have been a different set of "pipes" they were after. Mom took me to PetSmart and got me another of my most favorite "moosekolitos" and headed home for a long drink of water and a nap. This is me cuddling with my old moose. Mom forgot that I hadn't completely shredded the old one yet so she's saving the new one for later....or for Holly.

Thanks for thinking about me! Uhoh...I think I'm still a little.. s l e e p...e....e.....e...z...z..z.zzzzz!!!

Somethin's Up!?!

2007-11-19T21:42:00.000-08:00

I'm not exactly sure what is goin' on around here but the bi-peds are doin' strange things. All the toilet seats are DOWN and all the drinking water is UP!! I heard Dad saying that "He's not gonna be happy in the morning when he can't have his bone." Then Mom said "He's not gonna be happy when he wakes up from the sleepy juice and figures out what else he's missing tomorrow either." I sure hope they're not talking about ME!! I WANT my morning bone and DON"T WANT whatever that sleepy juice is she's talkin about. I guess I'll have to wait to see what all this is about....I'll try to let everypup know tomorrow what's up....besides the water.

Holly's Relative??

2007-11-19T14:43:00.000-08:00

My hu-mom thinks that she saw one of Holly's relatives at a place in Des Moines last week. What do you think?

New "favorite" spot

2007-11-16T14:14:00.000-08:00

I FINALLY found it! My new favorite spot. I've been trying out a couple of places but this one seems to fit me just perfect. I like to be there at night and now Mom has figured it out and shines the little flashlight thing on me and laughs. I don't know what she thinks is soooo funny!!

She had to take this with her phone because she thought if she went down the hall for the "good" camera that I would get up. Silly woman....I'm comfy and I'm not goin' anywhere!

A little 'bout alot

2007-11-06T13:46:00.000-08:00

This is going to be a little bit of sharing about kind of a lot of different stuff. First, I got to go in to the vet on Saturday for a weigh-in. This is me being squirmy on the scale.... and this is a picture of what the scale was "thinking" while I was on it.....it finally got done "thinking" at 117.5....so, I'm thinking that I'm not too little anymore!

Here is a picture of me waiting for Mom to "help" me in the car. I expect her to do this almost all the time...(except when I was showing off my jumping abilities to my big mal-a-sis HollyBBB).

and here I am enjoying the ride home....
I got to rest when I got home and then the fun began. Out comes the ATV and my XXXL harness and the hook-up lines...Denali and I took a quick practice run for my FIRST TIME and Mom thought I did pretty well. I wanted to go again so they let me go by myself this time...Dad is on the yellow ATV trying to show me where to go....
So this was the fun part of my day. Things were pretty much downhill from here....and so here comes the hard part about sharing stuff....

I have to admit that I have caused some kind of problem for my Mom and Dad...they ran an errand and always like to drive around the field to look for deer when they get back. When they pulled up by our kennel, something happened and I got really upset with Denali or he got mad at me so I thought the way to fix that would be to have a fight. Dad came in and broke it up. Mom took Denali in the house to check him over (he was OK) and now they are both mad at me and worried. Denali can't come in our kennel with me anymore and they are watching me all the time. They are talking about something called a "snip". I don't know what that is but it doesn't sound like a good thing for me! They love me and know that us Mals can have attitudes to match our size so they are just trying to figure out how to teach me about being a good packmate. I hope they can figure it out before they call the "snip" guy. Mom said I was acting like a typical guy on a Saturday night with too much "test-ur-own stuff" out looking for a fight. Guess I didn't really do my part to help her settle down from her day Friday, did I?

So, if any of you have any good suggestions that might help my Mom, please go ahead and post them. Who knows....maybe this "snip" thing is the way to go.

Mom's Crazy Morning

2007-11-02T12:45:00.000-07:00

Interesting things happen around here all the time. Mom overslept this morning and she's wierd cuz she thinks that everything happens for a reason. Sometimes you know the reason "sooner" and sometimes the reason comes "later". Well, today the "reason" came just after she got on the fast highway to go to work. She had just gotten on and this is what she saw...

She is a "stopper" so she jumped out of the car and grabbed her fire extinguisher from the back and headed over to see if she could help. There were two people trapped in the upside down car. Two big men were trying to get the doors open or kick out some windows. Luckily, there was no fire and they finally got a door open so the people could get out. PHEW!! They were from Minnesota and had left for Phoenix at 3:50 in the morning. The wife thinks that her husband fell asleep. Here is the wonderful part...they were both wearing their seat-belts and they were fine. The husband had a tinky scratch on his hand!! That was it!! The wife was really upset and she said "That's my brand new car!! Look at it!!" Mom said "I can see your car but I am looking at YOU and YOU are HERE!!" She stayed with them (since they were out in the "sticks" and not from here) and once they figured out that they needed to rent a car and go back home to figure things out, she took them in to Des Moines so they could rent a car. One of the volunteer firemen that came from New Virginia is the guy that takes the tractor around our hay field and makes it into big round things. She said HI and he said that he knew she would be good help for the Minnesoootans. This is him directing traffic so Mom doesn't get hurt.

Now she's ALL hyper and can't settle down. She said she was scared what they were going to find when they got the car doors open. I think that now she knows why she woke up late...don't you?

The Birthday n' Stuff

2007-11-01T08:24:00.000-07:00

I want to thank all of you for your thoughtful Birthday Wishes! It's nice to have sooo many great friends. Speaking of friends, as some of you may know, I have a new friend. It's Dave with the Army of Four. We got off to a bit of a rough start but sometime those are the friendships that remain the strongest. I can't think of too many birthday gifts that are better than a new friend!

On to the birthday celebration. It actually didn't get started on time because of some Central Iowa silliness called "Beggar's Night". If you didn't grow up here and already know what it is, I will try to describe it. It's like Halloween, but it's not on Halloween. It always happens on October 30th. Somewhere way back in history some silly bi-ped thought it would be safer for the little bi-ped kids to not be out on Halloween with all the big, scary bi-peds. So they just made this day up. Anyway, the little bi-peds dress up and do their door-to-door trick-0r-treating....AND....they have to tell a joke (the "trick") before they get their candy (the "treat"). It actually ends up being kind of fun unless you move in new to the area and don't have any candy on the 30th.

OK...that's why the party started late...kind of...since we live out in the "sticks" there are no little bi-peds that come to our house EXCEPT for the little niece Cheyenne who is four. She comes special to our house every year and the hu-mom gets her a special pumpkin and loads it up with goodies. We had to wait outside until she left cuz...well, since there are five of us and she is little and she came as the cute little Indian Princess Pocahontas, they didn't want us to bump her around, mess up her costume or try to steal her pumpkin. She did have some stuff in there I would have liked though!!

Once they were gone, we came in and look what I found. Mom said I should check it out cuz she didn't think I had ever seen one.

It was pretty neat...Mom said his name was Jack O'Lantern.

Soon it was time for the livergreat cake. It came on top of my regular dinner and had a candy corn candle on top. I LOVED it and made it disappear in no time. I shared pieces with my SibeSibs so everyone was happy.

Between all the nice birthday wishes, making a new friend (woof-out to Dave), meeting my first jack-o-lantern and having my own livergreat cake, it was a wonderful birthday. Thanks for making it extra special.

I'm ONE!!

2007-10-30T11:52:00.000-07:00

Today is my birthday. I'm ONE!! I can't wait to see what kind of special things my humans have planned for me. It's a nice day here in Iowa and I am enjoying a cool breeze and nice warm sun this afternoon. It was a perfect day on Sunday when I got to get in the car and take a ride. Little did I know that I was in for a big surprise. The humans had conspired with Hollybollybananaboo's hu-mom to bring her down to visit me in Glenwood, Iowa. She is a lovely MalGal and we got along famously. She looks like she is smiling all of the time! Check out some of the pictures from our get together.
Oh yeah....it's livergreat cake for the party tonight. WoooHoooo!!!

I'm IN

2007-10-28T22:03:00.000-07:00

Well, I'm IN (to the world of bloggin). More and better things to come, so stay tuned to the same Mal channel, same Mal time.
