Wordless Wednesday from a Chi

Sammy

Two handsome fellas!

Happy Tuesday! MBB here! I got some photo updates on two of my sons and wanted to share them!

Here is Juneau! He looks so much like his papa, Koova. He is such a camera ham!

And here is Oreo (aka Maska), the proud new papa!!! Isn't he handsome!!

Haroo's!!!

MBB

Call me Grand-ma!

Haroooooooooooo to everyone!!! MBB here...aka...GrandMa! Yes! It's true! My son Oreo (Maska) is the proud papa of 8 healthy and beewootiful puppies!!! I just found out the wonderful news today and wanted to share!

They are with a wonderful family! Very loved and well cared for! And I know that when the time comes, the pups will get the perfect homes!

I am sad that Koova is not here with me to share the joy. But he is looking down from the Bridge, smiling at all the red's in the pack. He would be very proud.

What a great way to start the week!!!

Wordless Wednesday

Siberian and Kat!

MBB

Believe it or not!

Hello everyfurrie!!! It's me, Mya Boo Boo with a long overdue update on our move! Where should I begin? Hmmmmm....I suppose most of woo all know that I spilled coke on the laptop and made it smoke and die! Mommy was furry understanding and did not get mad...hmmmmmm.....then, I snootered through her dresser drawer and ate her stash...a kit kat bar. I didn't know they made chocolate outta kats, but it had crunchy fillings!! Yummy!!!! Haroooooooo!!!

Next, I again snootered where the snooter doesn't belong...this time I found some nice squishy bath sponges that mommy had just bought! So, to help her out, I performed the Husky test on 'em. Sadly, they did not hold up under my teeth and claws. I just left them shredded on the floor as proof of my hard work! I hope she can purchase better quality next time!

Oh, and Mommy says this move has been furry stressful...which might explain why I've been compelled to leave TWO warm, brown, pressies on Mommy's bed! But that was a couple of weeks ago. I think my tummy has calmed down a bit.

I have managed 2 huge hurdles since we've been here. First, I have accepted the little brown Chi named Sammy. He is annoying at first, but he's fun to knock around! No, I have not really knocked him around....he's way too fast for me to catch him! But I won't give up!

Finally, and probably the most stunning news of all............This is a world announcement!!!

Please, make sure woo is sitting down and not holding any sharp objects!!!

Here goes.........I have made a kitty friend! There, I said it!!! The news is out! I have a friend who is a kat! He actually looks like a Sibe cause he is white with blue eyes! His name is Kitty-boy. Yeah, some name, huh. He belongs to my visiting uncle. Mommy said she would like to keep him...she calls him Riley. He is super nice and doesn't hiss much at all!!

So, there woo have it. The good, the bad, and the just plain weird.

Mommy has taken pictures, but she cannot locate the flashy beast at the moment to retrieve those pictures. I do promise some Chi and kat pictures!

Mommy is not furry happy in this living situation. But she is doing it to help the Nana. Our bedroom is EXTREMELY small. And hooman brother is sleeping on a blow up bed. But, we are all together.

We can't seem to get caught up on the blogs. So forgive us for not commenting. I hope every furry is doing great on this holiday weekend!!!

MBB

Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do...whatcha gonna do when my Mommy comes for woo!

MBB here! I have missed everyfurrie so much!!! I am sorry we haven't gotten around to the blogs much, but Mommy promises me we will catch up!!!

Unless she's in the pokie!

Only 3 weeks into living at my granny's house and already my Mommy has "met" the neighbors! Well, I wouldn't exactly call yelling a civil hooman conversation!

Yes, my fellow furries! Mommy came to the aid of a doggie. We was outside, letting Jack, Doodle, Jedi, and even her evilness, CoCo, get some exercise. When all of a sudden the teenage boy next door picks up a stick and starts hitting his boxer type doggie on the back! I never seen Mommy so mad...'cept the time hooman brother washed his cellphone by accident! Mommy yelled at the kid "HEY! YOU DON'T BEAT A DOG! I CAN CALL YOUR MAMA OR THE POLICE, THE CHOICE IS YOURS!"

Well, this kid never even looked up at Mommy! He just threw the stick down and walked inside. Mommy doesn't say those HBO words, especially to kids. But she wanted to say 'em!! Haroooo Mommy!!!

We waited for the kid's mom to come out, but she didn't. So we're not sure what, if anything, the kid said to his parent(s). Now, Mommy and I are watching out the window, just making sure they don't start nuffin!

If there is any trouble, Mommy is armed with her digital camera and cell phone! She'll wipe the sidewalk with 'em!! Or at least take pictures and dial 911!

Neighbor(hood) Watch

P.S.
Now, I would like to thank every furrie and hoomans for the kind words about my Koova. It has been very hard for me, but Mommy is giving me extra loves. And, I have my son, Jedi. Koova will live on through him, and in my heart.

MBB and Jedi

Just a quick harooo from MBB and Jedi!

Update from Pack Mom

First I want to thank everyone for their kind words and prayers during this sad time. Whenever I could sneak to a wi-fi place and get online, it did my heart good to see that others seemed to go out of their way to show love and condolences. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Well, the move is finally over and I'm just now back online. It has been the most horrible couple of weeks...Losing Koova has really hurt us all. It still seems unreal. When I am able, I will go into a bit more detail about the death of my wonderful baby, Koova. I am trying not to be angry or blame myself...but both are hard.

MBB is doing well. She and Jedi have been sharing a bedroom with me and my son. And it's a SMALL room! I think my bathroom was bigger than this! But it's OK. We're here with my mom, helping her out and things will calm down soon.

Right now the other furries, Jack, Doodle and CoCo are in their crates. We'll have to take turns letting them out and making sure they get plenty of exercise. Our first concern right now is that Jack seems to be getting a bit sick. He has a place under his neck that looks like he's scratched it and he'll be going to the vet soon.

I think I ruined my knee during all this havoc...it's been swelled up like a large cantaloupe for 2 weeks. Getting old sucks!!!

I don't think I would have survived this move if it weren't for my wonderful (and strong) son and my brother. Thanks to them both!

God bless my friends and I hope that MBB will be back in her blogging spirit soon.

Koova Bleu: 3/1/06-8/8-09

Rest in peace my beautiful boy.

We are too heartbroken to write much at this time. Koova apparently choked to death in his crate while we were moving. When we found him, it was too late. Our lives have been shaken to the core with his loss and I'm not sure when/if we will find the strength to write more.

Please just pray for us during this horrible time.

Painter Pack

Moving "Announcement"

Quick note from the Mom:

Hello everyone! First I want to send my condolences out to Charlie's family. We did not really know Charlie, but it is obvious that he was loved and will be sorely missed.

The Painter Pack is in full mode now...we're moving this coming weekend. So, please do not be alarmed if we disappear for a few days/weeks. Although, I doubt it will be much more than a few days. The problem is that we have not been able to find a place to move to...yep, that's a problem.

Back in March of this year, my dad passed away suddenly. My mom has been having a horrible time since then, financially. I'm by no means rich and being on short term disability from work has cut my income, but I love my mom and did what any child would do. I helped her out. So now, I find myself short.

So, the perfect solution is that the pack is moving into grandma's house! Yes....and considering she has 4 doggy babies herself, well...you get the picture! It won't be forever, but for a few months. My mom has got to build up some savings and get some things paid off so that she will not struggle.

The only bad thing is that most everyone will have to stay in their crates for longer periods. Except Mya, who will still be with me in my bedroom. But my room is SMALL...and my son doesn't even have a bedroom...he'll be sleeping on an air mattress. Of course, during the daytime, as weather allows, we will take the dogs outside on their leashes and let them run us. But it still won't be an ideal situation.

Please do not think bad of me for putting them in this situation. I love them with all my heart, but my mom's dogs are small--2 chi's, 1 weiner dog, and 1 outside lab type dog. I cannot allow my big ol' babies to rip an ear or tail off of one of the small doggies. I don't think they would do it on purpose...well, maybe they would...but you see my point.

Anyway, that is my post. I hope that you all can support me during this transition. It's not perfect...but it's the only solution we could come up with.

The good thing is that you'll get to meet the other doggies! Sammy, Sydney, and Chester! The boy outside is Buddy.

I love this blogging world and everyone I have met throughout this past year. You've taught me so much more about how to love my babies. And I thank you all for that.

So, until we talk again, God bless everyone, furry and not.

A Sibe in need

Meet Shana, a sweet 2 yr.old little girl that came into South Florida Siberian Husky Rescue after being found wandering the streets of Hialeah. In her short life she became this adorable little girl who only wanted to be loved. She is being fostered by a family that fell in love with her gentle spirit and capacity for giving back to people and other dogs. Today we found out Shana has ITP which is an Auto Immune Disease which can cause her to bleed internally by the slightest bump or turn of her head. Her foster family brought her to the vet when they noted her lethargy and the alarming color of her urine..

This disease causes the body to attack the platelets, thus causing a lack of clotting. Today she received her first transfusion from one of her husky friends, and in three days we will know how much that has helped; however, she may need more.

Her treatment is quite costly, and when they get the bleeding under control, she will need to be on steroids in order to keep this problem from recurring. She will require constant monitoring and possibly occasional transfusions to enable this girl to live a full and happy life.

We want to give Shana the chance she deserves to live that full life, but our funds our low and find that we must turn to you, our friends to help keep Shana alive. We ask with heavy hearts that you help us find a way to help Shana fulfill her desire to give love to a special family when shes well.

If you'd like to donate to them, here is the link.

Note from the Mom

Sorry that we have not been around much lately. We are currently packing...yes, for a move. Just kill me now......

It may be 2-4 weeks before we're settled, but we will try to read and comment. Just not sure if there will be much posting!!!

Mya Boo Boo is not happy about this, of course. She has so much to say!!

Monday Memories!!!

Greetings bloggie world!! Coco Bean here!! Yes, that's right!!! I locked MBB in the crate and I get to do a Monday Memories post!! I am so excited because I know my adoring public is thirsty for more of my beewootiful self! It's just difficult to get that HUGE fuzzy butt of MBB's out of the way!!! Have you noticed how fat she's gotten? Woof!! Woof!!! I love it!!! I'm going to call her hippo thighs!!! Maybe thunder butt!!! Or, how about tubby!!! Oh, the options are endless!! Anyway, back to this week's post!! I am proud to present................................ME!

Well, me and Maxie Doodle! Here we are as little puppers!!! About 8 weeks old in this one. You can't see it, but I had chewed his tail down to the skin! Yes, I was a pesky sister. I still am! Oh, get over it...his tail hair grew back!!! Eventually.........

Here is Doodle, still a little 'un! Awww.....Too bad for him, I got all the looks and brains. But he is sweet at times....when he's asleep!

Here is hooman brother (middle) and two of his buddies. Brother was about 12 here...or so. And his friends came over to oooh and ahhh over me. Oh, and Doodle too I guess. Don't I just look adorable??

Here we are again. The little boy holding me wasn't showing my best side.....

As you can see, this one is dated...Four whole years ago!! Here is Jack before he got all fat and old. And there I am...just a bundle of fur!!! Oh, I am so cute!!!

We were so tiny when mommy brought us home that she could hold us both in ONE HAND!!! Plus, Jack tried to KILL us. I wonder if he thought we were cats?? Jack doesn't like cats. It took about 3 weeks, but he finally got over it all. He fell in love with me!!! Even the age difference couldn't stop love. Even now, Jack does whatever I want. He'd better.

The lady holding me is my grandma. She came over to see my beautifulness!!!

Here are some cards mommy made for the holidays!!!

Of course, mine is the best!

Just look at that face!!! Oh, I love it!! I love me!!!

Finally, here we are, grown up. Ever since my puppy accident, Doodle thinks he can beat me up. But, I can still hold my own....and if I ever get the chance, I'll chew the hair off his tail again!!! Cause that's what sister's do!!!! Thank you all for adoring me...and my puppy pictures!! Mommy has promised me my OWN bloggie!!! But she's soooooooooo slow!!! I hope to talk to you a LOT more really soon!!! If I can move Bessie the COW outta the way!!!

Love and smoochies to me!

Monday Memories!

Happy Monday to all the pups and kats! MBB here with a NEW Monday theme for the Painter Pack!

Mommy went through some boxes of "memories" stuff and found some really old photos. Some of furries past and present...and some of something she calls "bad 80's hair"!

So, for a while, we at the Painter Pack will use Monday to share our bestest memories!

This first picture is of mommy and hooman brother. Nick was just a little pupper! Mommy says about 3 years old. Hard to believe he's a week away from being 17 now! I would have loved to run and play with him!! Haroooooo!!!!

Mommy says this one is REAL old! And this is some of the 80's hair! The furry is the photo is Jasmine Bleu. She was a peek-a-nese! She was 6 years old when she hurt her back and had to go to the bridge. Koova is sorta named after her...the "bleu" part. Mommy says Jazzie (as she was called) used to run zoomies like crazy!
This one is even OLDER! Oh my dog! Mommy was about hooman brother's age! The puppers are Rusty and Heather...brother and sister cocker spaniels. Rusty got sick and went to the bridge before he was a year old. Heather was with Mommy for several years until someone stole her out of the yard. Mommy searched but never found little miss Heather. Mommy sure missed her.
Here's another photo of Jazzie and Mommy. Sorry for the bad photo quality...Mommy said it's not only bad 80's hair, but bad 80's camera too!
That's it for our FIRST MONDAY MEMORIES!! Next week, Mommy has photos of the terror twins, Doodle and CoCo when they were tiny puppers. I may barf if I have to see pictures of that hussy, CoCo. Woof!!!

I hope every furrie had a great 4th of July weekend!!!

Huskies from South Carolina

Harooo pups and kats!!

MBB here with a special announcement!!

Mommy got an email about a breeder/hoarder/stupid person in Orangeburg, SC. Apparently the "authorities" took away dozens and dozens of Huskies!! Adults and puppers!

Some furry good Husky friends is the folks at HuskiesRus...also in SC. They have already taken in several Huskies and may get even more.

They always have the new arrivals vetted and such..which can be expensive I'm sure. But they love us Huskies!!! Haroooo rooooo!!! What's not to love!!!

Anyway, here are some pictures from their MySpace posting. If woo can foster, transport, or donate anything toward these poor dogs, plweese do so.

http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/SC274.html

Jedi says this girl could be his dream wife!!! Isn't she beewootiful!!

Not sure of any "stats" on the new arrivals, but I know they will get great care now!

Looks like some nasty flies got ahold of this ear.

Another beauty!!!

Again, if woo can sponsor a doggie or help in any way, plweese contact them directly through the link above. I will keep woo updated!!!

On our home front, Mommy has to announce that she switched from Internet Explorer to Foxfire....now I don't know what all this means, but Mommy says she can now view all of her favotire bloggies without errors. So that is good!

We furries are doing good...lounging inside out of the heat.

Remember, the 4th is coming up and that means a lot of loud popping boomers going off. Many furries get scared and will run away. So be on the lookout!

Mya Boo Boo

Guess who!!!

Hello kats and pups!!! Miss Bunny Butt here!!! Yes, Mya Boo Boo....some day soon, we will show woo, via video, why I have such a nickname!!!!

Ahhhhhhhh.....who is this handsome pupper???

Look at those dreamy eyes....the perky ears!!!
**Sigh**

It just makes my tail wag!

If woo guessed my sweetheart Koova Bleu, then woo would be correct!!!!

Mommy found the older pictures of Koova and just wanted to share. The photo quality isn't good, but he's still handsome!!! He was about 4 or 5 months old here....and already a heartbreaker!!!!! I am such a lucky canine!!!

The 'puter doesn't seem to like blogger lately. Mommy thinks she may have to strip the 'puter and reload stuff. I don't know about woo, but a naked 'puter scares me!!! Harooooooo!!!!

Mommy will try to catch up on all the blogs this weekend. But first she is doing something to the grass to get rid of the pesky ticks....then she said something about "baths"....I just don't know...it doesn't sound good for us furries.

We hopes every furrie one has a GREAT weekend!!! And golden thoughts for Laska's safe and speedy return!!! Come on home, boy!

Princess Dakota 8/15/1997 - 6/24/2009

Lord, you have embraced a good friend and loving companion. While we mourn what we have lost, we do celebrate what we had...and in saying goodbye, we renew our pledge to love and care for any creature you entrust to us for its time of life.

Thank you, Lord, for the joy Dakota gave us all and for making it possible for us to have made this friend. Lord, be with the family as they continue to grieve.

Godspeed, Princess Dakota. Wear your silver harness and run free in the winds of Heaven. And each time we feel the cool breeze blow by, we will know it is a soft nuzzling kiss from you.

Mommy needs woo Brad!!!!

Haroooooooo!!!!!!!!! Mya Boo Boo here on a HOT and STICKY Monday here in the South. I didn't really have anything exciting to share, so Mommy wanted me to show woo this video.

She's not really much for Country music, but this song caught her attention....and I think woo will know why. She was visited by the "TICK" again this weekend....EWWWWWWW!!!

Plucked him right outta her belly!!!!

Did I mention EWWWWW!!!!! Mommy said if Brad was helping, it wouldn't be so bad.

I don't get it.....

Mya Boo Boo

Working fur the weekend

Happy Friday!!! MBB here--aka--Miss Bunny Butt!! Haroooooo!!!!!

It has been a furry busy week for me! With Jack's 'sploding butt and "wee" problems! The old man seems to be ok for now! So, I decided, after such a busy week, I would get some rest!

It never fails....Here comes mom with the flashy beast...Notice how I avoid it at first....
Then, I decide not to waste my cuteness! So I do some poses!

Notice the paw placement! Not quite as good as MFT--but I'm working on that!

Ok....enough with the flashy beast...I'm tired! I gotta rest up for the weekend!!

Finally, I gave up and decided to lay on the cool carpet and just ignore Mommy. Did she get the "hint"???

Eventually!!!

I hope all the pups and kats have an excellent weekend! Remember to get as many squirrels as woo can!! We must not let Tank down just because it is the weekend!

Mya Boo Boo--

OWAS soldier!

Sunday Surprise!

Good Sunday to every pup and kitty!! Mya Boo Boo here with a quick update on our Pack! Everyone is good! Mommy's back is still hurting and she's popping pills all day! Harooooooo!!!! Do we need an intervention?

I gots a funny.....Jack exploded in the dinning room last night!!! Yes, the 100 pound old man had an upset tummy....or lower intestine....and WHAM!!!!!! Mommy thought it was me last night, making her smell bad smells...yes, sometimes I am gassy.... But when she got up to check, she quickly found the source of the foul odor.

Luckily, it was not on carpet. Mommy got out the mop and bucket, bleach, and other stuff. She wasn't mad though...Jack has problems about 3 times a year. He eats something he shouldn't I guess....but, yuck. I crawled back under the covers and tried not to snooter that smell!!!

Oh, and TICK update!! Mommy hasn't found anymore on her, but Koova has had one...Doodle has had 2....and hooman brother Nick had one!!! It is going to be a bad bug season!!! Mommy is taking all the usual precautions. She thinks the ticks are becoming superbugs and might attack at any moment. Huh? I think Mommy's medications are getting to her! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

That's all for right now. Mommy has some pictures and stuff...soon as she gets out of her drug induced coma, I'll make sure we get them posted!!

Tearful Tuesday

Sad news from the Dogster world today. This is the email I received just moments ago. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers. It could happen to any of us.

I’ve just been informed that three Dogster pups, all belonging to the same household, have been poisoned by antifreeze. It saddens me to share the news that all have passed over to Rainbow Bridge.

The beautiful dogs lost were Jake, Joey, and Nari. Not much is known at this time, but it’s suspected that someone in the neighborhood is responsible. I will update as soon as I have more information. In the meantime, please visit their homepages and leave a little love.

I have no doubt their owner is in desperate need of some kind thoughts to help get her through this. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family.

Antifreeze poisoning is a big issue because dogs are drawn to the sweet smell. Dogs have even been known to chew through the container when they find it left in the garage or elsewhere in the house. It’s so important to make sure the container is stored in a safe and secure place, just like you would do if you had a small child at home. It’s reported that about 10,000 accidental poisonings, both cats and dogs, happen per year.

Death by antifreeze poisoning is not a pretty way to go, it’s a long and painful death. The good news is that if you get your pet to the vet within 9-12 hours after ingestion they may recover.

I am not skilled enough to know how to embed links, so here is a link the old fashioned way.

Please take a moment to hug your furrie babies....I know I am.

Manic Monday

Harooooooooo pups and kats!! Yes, MBB here on a Manic Monday! Why Manic, you ask? Well, here is a clue........

Mommy has found two of these crawly critters on HER this weekend. First one was in her hair....I wonder how many of you in bloggie world heard that scream? She was furry furry loud! Then, yesterday, poor mommy found another one crawling on her EAR....And that scream made the windows shake! Woooos!

I am not sure where or how they got on mommy....but we furries have paid the price. We have been brushed and loaded down with flea/tick killer stuff. Why are we punished when we didn't invite them inside?

Other than crawling things, we are all staying inside to keep cool. It was 90 degrees yesterday, so it was not a Husky friendly day! I spent the day looking out the window in the livingroom and watching this really cute german shepherd that lives across the street. He is furry handsome!!! Harooooooo!!!!

Today, mommy's back is hurting so there won't be a lot of stuff going on...maybe some random zoomies or bitey face.

Sorry that we've not visited a lot of blogs this past week...internet has been slow for some reason...mommy plans on some computer maintence today....whatever that means.

Woofs and happy Monday to everyfurrieone!!!!
