few days no post

Sorry for the delay in the humor, but its been a hectic few days, cleaning carpet, and dogs.  The rain here has been non stop for two days, beginning to worry about the creek and flooding.  Dogs were filthy, and I mean filthy, whinny was black completely and thats a dirty dog, seeing as he has so much white on him.  Iceman wasn't outside much, but he carried his fair share of mud into the house.  Washing the 3 of them takes about 4 hours, this is with washing, brushing, drying, and cleaning up the mess it makes to wash them.

 

Oh well, the joys of being a dog slave never end.

Here's a bit of humor to brighten your day.

 

The 5 Crucial Food Groups According to Dogs:

1.  In the bowl.( a good foundation, but important to supplement with the other groups.

2.  Off the Table. (most varied group, but best eaten when no one is looking.

3.  On the floor.  ( A nutritious way to snack between meals.

4. Grass. taken at least once a day to enable vomit acitivity. (vomit activity best engaged in while resting head on caretaker's lap.)

5.  Poop. ( at least once a day for overall digestive happiness.  May be taken topically, via rolling in it.)  Best if eaten immediatly after production.  Be sure to lick owner in the face after ingestion.

the creation story(dog's view)

On the first day of creation, God created the dog.

On the second day, God Created man to serve the dog.

On the third day, God created all the animals of the earth to serve as potential food for the dog.

On the fourth day, God created honest toil so that the man could labor for the good if the dog.

On the fifth day, God created the tennis ball so that the dog might or might not retrieve it.

On the sixth day, God created veterinary science to keep the dog healthy, and the man broke.

On the seventh day, God tried to res, but He had to walk the dog.

equal opportunity dog humor

One day, a sign appeared in an office window. It read: "Help Wanted, must type 70 words a minute. Must be computer literate, must be bilingual.  An equal Opportunity employer."

A dog ambling down the street saw the sign, walked in, and applied for the job.  The office manager said, "I can't hire a dog for this job."  The dog pointed to the line: "An Equal Opportunity Employer."

So the manager said,"Okay, take this letter and type it."   The dog went off to the typewriter and returned a minute later with the finished letter, perfectly typed.  The manager, looking to stump the dog said: "Here is a problme.  Write a computer program for it and run it.", Fifteen minutes later, the dog came back with the correct answer.

The manager still wasn't convinced.  "I can't hire a dog for this position,"he said, "You've got to be bilingual."

The dog looked up at the manager and said , "MEOW>"

Ice man wipes!

Ok, I have seen dogs drag their behinds, when they are hurting, or have had the poops.  But never in my life have I seen a dog do what Iceman does.  He goes out does his duty, kicks his feet as some dogs do to cover the evidence, then he walks about 6 steps away, and politely sits down and wiggles his little bottom on the grass, I am not talking dragging his behind here, I am talking a stationary sit wiggle.

 

It is so funny to watch.  All I can say is it looks exactly like what it is, Iceman is wiping his behind.

 

LOVELY DOG STORY

HEAVEN:

 

A man and his dog were walking along a road.  The man was just enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.  He remembered dying and that his dog had been dead for years.  He wondered where the road was leading them.

After a while they came to a high white stone wall along one side of the road.  It looked like fine marble.  At the top of a long hill it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.  When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate between the arches that looked like mother of pearl, and that the street that led beyond the gate looked like pure gold.

he and the dog walked toward the gate and as he got closer he saw a man at a desk to one side.

When he was close enough he called out, "Excuse me, where are We?"

"This is Heaven, sir," the man answered.

"Wow!, would you happen to have some water?" the man asked.

"Of course sir, come right in and I'll have some ice water brought right up." the man gestured, and the gate began to open.

"Can my dog come in too?" the traveler asked.

"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets."

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going.

After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, the man came to a dirt road, which lead through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed.  There was no fence.  As he approached the gate he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.

"Excuse me", he called to the reader, "Do you have any water?"

"Yes, there's a pump right over there," the man pointed to a place that couldn't be seen from outside the gate. "Come on in."

"How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to his dog.

"There should be a bowl by the pump."

They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old fashioned pump with a bowl beside it.

The traveler filled the bowl and took a long drink himself.  When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man, who was standing by then, waiting for them.  "What do you call this Place?" he asked.

"This is Heaven." was the answer.

"well, thats confusing, the man down the road said that was Heaven too."

"oh, you mean the place with street of gold and the pearly gates?  That's hell."

"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"

"No.  I can see how you might think so, but we're just happy that they screen out the people who would leave their dogs behind.....

chilly day, but not cold

Went outside today, and the wind is blowing slightly, and the sun is shining, although the clouds are there, I can smell spring in the air.  Wooohooo, time for yard work and lots of playing with the dogs outside,  I am so ready for spring and summer.  Shawnee

Iceman's Turn

Hello there doggies, my name is Iceman, My full name is Cinnamon Iceman, I am called Ice, Littleman, THE ICEMAN!, but ya know what it don't matter cause I don't hear and really don't know my name. (ha ha ha on my peoples, they haven't figured this out) I was born Nov 15, of 2007,, not too long ago. I come from Ch. Energie's from Zero to Hero and Ch. Mar-a-lago's Creme de la Creme. I was born in Florida. My mom is getting ready to send in the registration papers, even though I am deaf, maybe they will still register me. If that happens I will be registered with MASCA( thats Miniature Australian Shepherd Club of America) I am a red merle, but I am very light, I have a few darker red patches around my face, but most of my red is light, I am not totally white though. I have ice blue eyes, with a star pattern in my pupils. My mom says they are beautfiul but freaky sometimes. She says that when I first wake up, my eyes are the mose beautiful things she has ever seen. I was born deaf, I am Bilaterally deaf, guess that means no hearing in either ear, but mom thinks that sometimes I hear loud noises, but then she also thinks that its not the noise i hear but feel the pop. Just like her, and she says its hard to explain, you see she is almost deaf herself, the only thing that saves her is she gets to wear hearing aides, but when she takes out her ears, we both don't hear anything. I am also microchipped, whatever that means, mom says its a way to find me if I ever get lost, but I don't plan on getting lost. I like it right where I am. I have an older sister, Rudy, who doesn't pay much attention to me, except when I have a chew bone she wants. and I have an older brother Whinny, who I think hates me, cept when we are outside playing. Inside he doesn't like me much, but I love him, and I love to chew on his ears, maybe thats why he doesn't like me. Oh well, guess I might have to chew on his legs or something. My mom says I am very smart, as I have only been here a week and I have already learn the sign for sit, sheez does she think I am dumb. I saw how Rudy and Whinny were getting their treats, so I just copied them. I also have learned the sign for down, although, I don't much like doing that cause I am so short, everything seems to take place above my head, way above my head. I have also learned to give mom some knuckles, where I sit down and put my paws on her closed fist. This is fun, and mom just laughs when I do it. She taught me this by using a stick, and making a fist and nodding her fist, and then lifting my foot with the stick and then giving me my treat. Mom is so cool. I get to stay inside with her all day long, the other two have to go outside, but not me, cause I am deaf, and she won't let me out unless someone is with me and I am on a leash. I am hoping that I will learn more, oh by the way, I am potty trained, I was potty trained before I came home, I do still have a few accidents, but not as many as whinny, who still likes to poop on the floor. Well cause I am so little yet, I don't have much to say so I will close for now and let mom have her computer back. She has to go to work tonight, that stinks cause that means I will be in the kitchen until she gets home. Its only for a couple of hours, but that really does stink. Bye bye The Iceman

Afternoon all

Its a glorious windy day here in Indiana, leaves are blowing and whinny is liking it as he gets to chase things.  he is doing really well in his new home, and he's only been here a week.  He has learned his sit, his down, and now he is working on giving me some paw, my knuckles are raw from his claws.  He is so very smart, I am beginning to think that Rudy has a competitor for smarts.  He seems to learn things by watching the others, and when he gets it, its down.  He loves to play, and is driving whinny nuts,  being deaf he doesn't seem to get the growling, of course he don't he doesn't hear it, I am waiting for whinny to finally get mad enough to nail him to the floor.  He is constantly chasing whinny around and biting his ears.  I don't want to seperate them, they need to learn to get along, but its hard to hear whinny in the other room growling and whinning because Iceman won't leave him alone.  One the leash they are great together, running and playing, but when they are off leash it seems that Ice just wants to chew on Whinny.  Oh well, I am sure sooner or later they will work it out, might be a little bloody, but they got to figure it out by themselves, just like teenagers.

A little about Whinny

Hello, mom said cause Rudy got on I could also get on, and so will the Iceman soon.  But now its my turn.

 

My full name is Peppermint Winthrop, I am called whinny for short, or loverboy.  I am registered with the ASDA.  Thats stock dog for you who don't know.  My parents are Milk's Favorite Cookie, and Crim's Chocolate Chip. I was born Oct 2, 2007, which makes me almost 6 months old now.   I am a blue merle, I do not have any brown on me except in my eyes, which are not really brown but amber with flecks of blue in each.  I also have no tail.  The little stub that I do have never stops moving, I am the true wiggle butt of the family.

 

My mom and her daughter decided to get another Aussie and after many months of searching the internet they chose me, which is great cause I would have chosen them too.  My breeders are in Kentucky, and they were kind enough to take time out of their busy schedules to drive me to indiana, where my home is.  I was actually bought for a 4-h dog for my mom's daughter.  I don't know if I will compete this year, as I haven't learned much, but next year look out, I am planning on taking the whole thing.  : ) 

 

I do know my basics, sit, down, stay, I am working on heel and walking nicely,  I also know a couple of tricks, such as show my foot, and be dead.

 

I am a bouncer, I bounce everywhere, I don't run, I bounce, I can bounce straight up in the air 3 feet and land in the exact spot I started.  I love to bounce, they should have named me tigger. 

I have a little brother, Iceman and an old sister Rudy, so that makes me the middle child of the bunch, "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha" type thing.  I get picked on by both ends.  Mom keeps telling me that soon I will be bigger than Rudy and maybe she won't pick on me so much, but I doubt that, as Rudy can be a real pain in the A** at times.

 

I am a lover not a fighter, I prefer to hug you and kiss you than play rough with you.  I am always getting my mom, when she is sitting in her chair, I run and bounce up into her lap and put my two front paws around her neck and hug hug hug, and then I lick and kiss her face completely clean.  Sometimes mom doesn't like this, but most of the time she laughs when I do this. 

 

I have the softest fur of the bunch, mom says its like rubbing silk when she pets me, she loves to put her face in my fur.  I don't shed as much as rudy yet, and mom thinks that maybe I won't.  Some of the past Aussie's she has had didn't shed much either, but then again she always keeps us all brushed, at least twice a week, which irrates me, cause I don't like my back legs brushed.  Mom also says out of the 3 of us, I am the prettiest.  But she reminds me not to tell Rudy this, cause Rudy is a Diva, and would take offense to it, and when Rudy takes offense, no one is happy.

 

I guess you could say I am just a jolly happy pup, growing into a jolly happy adult.  I just love everyone, no one is strange to me, I will kiss everyone who lets me, and I will wiggle my butt all the time.

 

Well mom says thats enough.  So Goodbye for now.  Your friend

Whinny the lover.
