We Love Earthdog

Hi ta all....

Taday we hopped on the Pa. Turnpike and got off at Donegal and went ta have some more earthdog fun.

My Mom gets excited when we get off the turnpike and even more excited when we turn onta the road ta Woodside.....Earthdog Heaven.......

The view from Woodside is breath-takin'...ya can see ferever.......

Mr Rat is always there when we're there fer earthdog fun and this Westie is checkin' 'em out.....

People are lined up at the Intro to Earthdog tunnels ta see if their dogs are interested in chasin' a rat in a tunnel.....

There were a few new people there this weekend and they got ta meet Mr Rat......when a terrier meets Mr Rat....all they want ta do is get 'em......... ya almost have ta feel sorry fer the rat....notice I say ALMOST..............

Now this Cairn Terrier is tellin' Mr Rat just what he thinks of 'em bein' around Woodside....

Then there's Parker again.......he was over ta our house with his Mum 'n Dad and he got onta the little ATV that I thought was mine but he thought it was his......guess what ???? It is his.......

He likes ta find out about his new toys all by himself.........

One more thing.........Gram has had this Hoya plant fer probably 30 years and until lately it never bloomed. Gram likes ta start new plants from pieces of the ones she has and everytime she would give a hoya away that she started from this one, the recipient would say "You didn't tell me that it bloomed ". 'N Gram always said that her's never did. Now she has one of those waterin' globes in there and the Hoya is bloomin' up a storm.....FINALLY......

Well, that 's all fer now folks......
We hope ya all have a swell week.....

Diggin' Tunnels and Pullin' Guard Duty

Hi ta all.......

We were at the cottage again fer a spell with that dialup stuff 'n Gram just can't handle dialup at all. So we were just not usin' the computer at all there........

I can tell ya we didn't see any porcupines this trip........ 'n we're sure happy about that. They were horrible monsters.....fer sure......

But I tell ya.....we saw somethin' movin in a pile of rocks near the edge of the woods. My Mom was over there scoutin' around and we wanted ta see what was in there. So Gram let us all go over ta catch the vermin in the rocks.....

Why, even Toby wanted ta be in on the search.....look at 'em go......... why I tell ya... it almost seems like he wants ta dig an earthdog tunnel fer all of us......

Of course my Mom's shrill bark scared anythin' away that was hidin' in there. We're sure the vermin ran 2 miles away after hearin' her scream like a banshee.........

**************************************

Back in "Da Burgh".........

Remember we told ya all about those burglars that are prowlin' around just waitin' ta steal our toys ?????

Well........I was sure I saw one tryin' ta get inta our house........

Why....he was frightenin'.....fer sure......

Imagine this guy gettin' inta our house and stealin' our toys........

I had ta run ta get my favorite toy ta guard it so that it wasn't stolen.............

I stuck my head inta the toy ta make sure if it left the house....I was goin' with it.......

No siree.....there wasn't any burglar goin' ta get my toy away from me.........

I held onta it fer dear life........

I think I scared 'em away..........do ya think it's safe now ta let it go now?????? Well, I'm not lettin' it outta my sight.......

Let that be a lesson ta all burglars tryin' ta get inta our toys......

WE WILL NOT STAND FER IT.....AT ALL......FER SURE........

**********************************************************

Oh yeah......

'N Momo and Pinot had asked us a while back ta see some pictures of baby Parker....'n we kept fergettin'.....

Here's a little video that was taken in early April.....we'll try ta get more soon.......

We have ta make sure Parker doesn't try ta play with OUR toys.....that he only plays with HIS toys......Imagine us all gettin' locked out of the house so Parker could play by himself........the indignity of it all......

Gee, we are sure sorry we were away fer so long.......we'll be around ta visit soon......

Teachin' Thursday

Hi all ya bloggies.....

Taday is teachin' Thursday and I was teachin Toby how ta be scary....ya know like a vampire is scary ?

So I thought I would teach 'em all the fine points of bein' real scary so that the criminal peepers would be afraid of 'em.....'n me too.....

With the economy bein' the way it is, crime is way up. More and more homes are bein' broken inta by thieves and valuables are bein' stolen.

Now, we need ta put a stop ta that. .....fer sure......

Ya all know that the first thing a thief would do if he broke inta our house is steal all our toys. Why, that would be awful.....yes siree........

So we need ta protect those toys cause they are the only valuables we have. So ya have ta learn ta be fierce........be an attack monster.........why ???.... so ya can protect what's yers....

Now ya can tell that I was scarin' Toby plenty.....couldn't ya????

Those growlin' noises ya heard were comin' from me......So if an intruder is tryin' ta get inta our house, me 'n Toby can sure scare 'em away. Don't ya think so ???? And wasn't I a great teacher ???

************************************************************

Spring has sprung and it has been pretty colorful around here in Southwestern Pa.

So Gram took a bunch of colorful pictures of 'er flowers as they were bloomin'.

We wanted ta share that with ya taday.

Cause that teaches ya all about all the pretty colors that we have around here.

Hope ya like it.

I think I'm gonna like Teachin' Thursday.....how about ya ????

Have a wonderful weekend everyone !!!!!!

Green Acres is the Place to Be.......

Green Acres is the place ta be........
Country livin' is the life for me......
Land spreadin' out so far 'n wide.......
Leavin' "The Burgh" ta sample the countryside.....

Hi Everyone,

We really didn't disappear or anythin' but we did decided ta take a trip back up ta the cottage and enjoy nature and the freedom of open spaces.



I decided ta help Pap cut the grass. He has a John Deere tractor so I got on ta see if I could help 'em with his work.....
That hat was gettin' in my way.......'n so I took it off so I could see where I was drivin'......


I tell ya, it's hard ta drive a tractor when yer as little as I am but I gave it my best shot....
Then my Mom wanted ta help too so she got on ta take a ride with me.....

Hey, Pap...is this the right way ta go ?????

Gram 'n Pap bought a little ATV fer baby Parker....but I wanted ta make sure that it was safe fer a little boy ta ride on.......

It makes broom broom noises and all and I think baby Parker will have fun....fun.....fun with it......fer sure.......

Up at Gramdma Judy's we saw a lady turkey come over ta the feeder ta get some dinner. Grandma Judy said that it was a female that has a nest of eggs ta care fer....'n that's why she's all by herself. It's her job ta hatch the turkey eggs........

Gram got a little video of the turkey 'n the birds just enjoyin' the feed Grandma Judy puts out fer 'em.......ain't the country great ????

I tell ya we got tired cause Gram bought a new plastic ball 'n bat ta hit around fer all of us. We chased 'em til we nearly dropped from exhaustion. I got so tired I curled up in the toy box and went ta sleep......

Yep, I was one tired Dewey from all that work 'n play too. Now that we're home again, we will try ta catch up on what ya have all been doin'.....that dialup service we have at the cottage just makes it too hard ta visit.....we're supposed ta get DSL there in the Fall...... 'n we're sure lookin' forward ta that day....

Well, I'm off ta catch a few winks here...........see ya later guys.....

Extreme Makeover- Canine Style

Hello Everyone,



Gee, we sure hope yer enjoyin' the weather. While it has been rainin' around here the last few days, we have sure had some beautiful warm days full of sunshine.

But tonight, I was wonderin' if I could borrow yer ears 'n eyes fer a bit....



Not yer Easter bunny ears....'n not yer x-ray eyes.....



Nope, I need yer full attention.....cause I have a problem...

See me relaxin' here and see Toby down there posin' fer Gram ???? (Ya can biggify any of these pictures by clickin' on 'em)

Do ya think he looks fit 'n trim there ?? Kinda slim ??? Kinda skinny perhaps ???? Why ya can feel all his ribs, I tell ya !!!!

Now, take a look at me, would ya ????

Do ya think I look a bit pudgy ????

Maybe not as trim lookin' as I could be ???? Why, me 'n Toby both play a lot...I mean a lot !!!!

We run up and down the steps all day. we play tug......

We both get exercise....lots of exercise....

I mean look at Toby, would ya ????

Does he look like he's in better shape than I am ????

I had ta get in front of the mirror and look at myself......

I can see where there's room fer improvement....

What do ya think ????

I NEED A MAKEOVER !!!!!!

I had ta try out Gram's exercise bike ta see if I could firm up some of my body parts that are a bit flabby....

I was havin' trouble figurin' it out and Toby came over ta try ta help.....

How am I supposed ta get my feet on those pedals and use my paws ta hold onta the handlebars when I am so little and that bike is so big....

Why, ya have ta do a real balancin' act ta even stay on that thing. Don't know how Gram does it ??? But then she really doesn't use it much and she needs it much more than I do.....

Maybe I'm doin' it wrong....maybe I need ta shift inta another position altogether....

What do ya think ????

Think this is the right way ta ride the bike and lose weight and gain muscles ?????

Maybe I just need ta eat less....

Maybe I should go on the grapefruit diet....

Or the cabbage soup diet....

Or join the Nutrisystem or Jenny Craig......

What do ya all think, huh ?????

Gee, I'm sure confused here fer sure.......

Do ya think ya can help me make a decision on how ta look better ?????

I tell ya if I have ta give up my evening dog biscuits, late evening chewey and bedtime treat....I don't know how I can get ta sleep at night....

HELP!!!!!!

Put on those thinkin' caps and help Dewey out.....

An Ear of a Tale

Welllllllll Hello Ta All Ya Bloggers.....


Gee, we hope ya all had a really Happy Easter.....cause the peepers 'round here sure did. Now as fer us....that's another story.....

Yep, Gram and Pap had a whole bunch of people here fer an Easter ham with all the trimmin's and everythin' was soooooo GOOD....
*

After dinner, we heard a noise in the back yard.
*

Why, it sounded like a twig crackin' and grass crunchin' 'n... someone actually walkin' around in OUR GRASS !!!!!
*
So we were at the door right away...tellin' Gram that we wanted out ta see what was what. NO ONE..... 'n we mean NO ONE is permitted ta walk around in our grass....I tell ya....anyone who does is headed fer trouble, fer sure.....



Outside we saw the likes of this bugger just loungin' around in our yard actin' like it belonged ta him !!!!! Nerve.....nerve.....nerve !!!!!

We were hopin' some gentleman would come along ta pick the bugger up by the ears 'n tell 'em that he made a terrible mistake venturin' inta our yard on such a Holy Day........
Why, we didn't want ta hurt 'em cause we knew that someone just like 'em came that very mornin' ta bring baby Parker an Easter basket full of goodies.... ('n fer some reason Gram thought she got a picture of Parker 'n his basket but she musta been dreamin' cause there ain't none)

So we just sat 'n watched 'em in awe..... 'n wished he woulda brought us a special basket just like Parkers.

But he didn't bring us any swell Easter basket.......

Nope, he sure didn't.......

He EARED US !!!!!!

Do ya hear me !!!!!

He EARED US......

ALL OF US !!!!!!

Yep....There we were mortified that on such a Special day when everyone else was gettin' colored eggs... 'n chocolate candy... 'n little toys.....

We were gettin' BUNNY EARS !!!!!

YUCK!!!!

'N then we had ta sit there tryin' ta smile 'n look happy when we were just plain MISERABLE!!!!




Do ya see us SMILIN" in any of these pictures ???



DO YA ?????

I was tryin ta give Gram the evil eye so she would put away the camera and take off those silly ears...... but it didn't work....

Nope, she just kept snappin' away...... (too bad there aren't any pictures of baby Parker 'n Gram's pretty flowers)

My Mom says that when Gram goes ta bed tonight we're all going downstairs and find those ears 'n chew 'em all ta shreds.........

Here's hopin' none of ya suffered the same fate.....

This is Dewey Dewster reportin' on Easter....'n silly ears......

Home Sweet Home.......Almost Anyway.......

Gee Guys....

We almost thought we would never see ya again....

'N never hear from ya either....

'N never be home again too......

But we are home and back ta usin' the good old DSL we have come ta love....

We wanted ta share a bit of all the stuff we did while we were in Florida in March.

We stayed at a community called Tanglewood in Sebring, Florida. There were lots of doggies there which meant peemail overload, but boy was it fun ta smell it all.

In the Park, they had a doggie run and while we were there twice, the second time we were the only doggies runnin' around in there. The place was full of sand and even though it was sand it made us really dirty.

Here we are runnin' around chasin' the ball......

If ya click on any of the pictures, ya can biggify 'em....

Ya know we got really hot runnin' around like that.....


See how dirty Mom got in the sand ????
*************************************
We got ta be in our exercise pen in the front of the place we were stayin' and observe all the people goin' by. And on a hot day, Gram got out the hose and we got a pan 'o water ta cool off in. Look at silly Toby always bein' happy.....doofus.....


Toby was enjoyin' himself in the cool water....

My Mom got squirted with the hose 'n Gram tried but just couldn't catch 'er curlin' up in the pan like she always does.......


We got ta sit with Pap and relax after a hard day of people watchin'in the little house we were in........

Gram 'n Pap have some friends who are buildin 'a new house on Lake June in Lake Placid, Florida ....that's down the road from where we were stayin'.........

Gram got some nice scenery pictures of Lake June.......................




This picture is of the yard next door ta where the new house is goin'.... ya ever see grass so green ???



And more of Lake June. Gram's friends are gonna love the view from their lanai.......


This is what the house looks like under construction......

'N there was a circus guy walkin' on stilts puttin' tape 'n joint compound on the wallboard in the new house. Why, we wondered when he was goin' back ta the circus.....

Ain't he funny lookin' ????

After spendin' a whole month there, we headed back ta Pittsburgh. We stayed 2 nights in motels along the way. 'N the motels had special bedspread fer us ta lay on. Ain't they nice people....motel people ????

Mom was relaxin' in the second motel....they sure have nice beds.....

As ya can see, all that travelin' was a bit tirin' 'n so we're taking some time ta get used ta bein' back home and in the colder weather. That sunshine and those warm temperatures were sure nice ta enjoy...

But it's good ta be home again too. We'll try ta catch up on what ya all have been doin' as soon as we ge caught up on all the stuff that was waitin' fer us when we got back.

We're sure gonna miss Florida but Gram says we're goin' back next winter and fer a long visit next time.....

This is Dewey Dewster reportin' on Florida, travelin' and the special circus man we saw....
