Nahny-nahny Boo-boo

The Annoying One got in Trouble today, so, I spent the rest of the afternoon rubbing it in.

Everydoggy and all the bipeds were in the living room watching Spirit, a movie about a horse, this afternoon. The Little Biped went to her play room to get a toy. Apparently, its really hard for the small bipeds to sit still for too long. She got back there and yelled "Can-yay, hum!" (Translation - "Canyon, come!") Canyon got up to see what his girl wanted. A moment later, she came back crying and saying "Mommy, Daddy, Can-yay pee my doggy." Mom and Dad went back to the play room and found Canyon with his ears back, his tail between his legs, pee on Rock, and a puddle on the floor. If you don't remember Rock, here's a picture of him acting as the dummy for the pet first aid demonstration that Meeshka's human and my mom did at the Hike N Howl. Rock does really well at playing the dummy. I'm pretty sure that he must be a dummy because if I had been peed on, I wouldn't have taken it without retaliation.

Mom and Dad got really mad and yelled at him for a few minutes. Dad dragged him outside while Mom cleaned up his mess and gave Rock a bath. I have now spent the last five hours making fun of the Annoying One because he got in trouble. Now, I am getting tired, so I thought I should share with all of you so that you could help me with this.

Woo-woo, Kelsey Ann

Thanks!

Hey Pups!

It's me, Canyon. I want to personally thank all of you kind doggies who voted for me in the MaPaw Howl-o-Ween photo contest. I found out on Halloween that I won the contest. My picture will be featured on October 31st in the 2008 MaPaw Siberian Husky Rescue Calendar. I am so excited. This will be my second calendar appearance, and I even get my own day. Stay tuned for details about when the calendar will be available. The following video is me after I heard the awesome news. Mom said I crushed the competition with 44% of the votes.......woof woof. (sorry, the end is sidways, but mom was trying to get the full effect of my tail)

Mom also said I had to tell you about some other things MaPaw has available. As many of you know, my mom is an American Red Cross CPR/First Aid instructor for people and us doggies. She made sure MaPaw has essential doggy first aid care items available for people to purchase. There is a Pet First Aid book and it does a very good job explaing how to treat most common (and some not-so-common) dog and cat injuries. It also explains how to do CPR on us pets. The second thing available is Pet First Aid Kits. The kit comes in a handy "fanny" pack, so it can easily be taken anywhere (then you don't have to use your human stuff on us pets....yuck....cross-contamination). Mom said these both would make really good out-of-the-ordinary gifts for pet lovers this Christmas. You can order either or both of them by clicking here.

Ok, enough with the public service announcement. I hate when she makes us do that. This is our blog not hers, but I guess it's ok, as long as it helps us doggies.

Tonight, I leave you with this very RARE photo.....mom was so excited to be able to capture this moment on film.

Are you ready to be amazed??????

Here it is!!!!!

Mom cartoonized us...what do all you pups think???

I leave you with one last Kodak moment.....Sky and I are very proud of our little biped....she brought home lots of treats....unfortunately not the doggy-friendly kind....but she gives us lots of doggy treats, so we'll forgive her this time.

EXTRA! EXTRA! Husky Alert - Winter is Almost Here!!



The bipeds have a ritual that helps start winter. It involves cutting holes on large orange spheres. Then they put a candle in it and set it outside at night. The candle makes the picture that the holes created show up in the dark. On a night shortly after that, they dress the Little Biped in funny clothes and take her to get candy from the neighbors. Before we had the Little Biped, we would give out the candy. Within a few weeks after all this, winter starts. The ritual began last night. Here's some pictures of it.

This one's a portrait of me that they did because I'm so special.

Woo woo, Kelsey Ann

P.S. The Annoying One asked me to remind you to vote for him in the MaPaw photo contest.

Good Night, Sleep Tight

Hello everydoggy,

In honor of last night's full moon, we thought we'd share our bedtime ritual with you. Even Hennessy joined us.

First, we get our bedtime stories with the Little Biped. The little biped has really good taste when it comes to books. The books on this particular night were about zoo and farm animals. Next, she says prayers. She always makes sure to include us in her "God blesses." She even started including Hennessy. Then, she goes to bed. Next, we get to go outside.

Then, we get our food. Once we're well fed, we dictate our blog posts and visit all of our blogging doggy friends to read their posts and leave comments.After that, we watch some TV; then, we're ready for bed.

So, I guess it's off to watch Animal Planet.

Woo woo, Kelsey Ann

P.S. I am sad. My friend, Hennessy, went home with his Mom and Dad Thursday night. I had gotten a 10-day reprieve from the Annoying One jumping on me when I come up the stairs. That's all over now. Nighty-night. Oh, and don't let the fleas bite......ha roo roo roo!

The "Mouse" Hunter

Steve Irwin once said: "born a wildlife warrior, die a wildlife warrior." That pretty much describes me last night. I am so proud of myself! Mom and Dad were pretty proud too. They gave me a whole can of wet food (Wellness 95% salmon) all for myself while all the other doggies sat and vultured.

Yesterday, the whole family was hanging out together in the basement family room. Mom, Dad, the Little Biped, Queen Kelsey, Sky, Hennessy and myself were all together. I was snuggled up with the Little Biped watching Open Season. It's a movie about hunting (but the animals win and the hunters lose). Dad had used the DVR to tape it since we had free movie channels on the TV for the weekend. I was watching very carefully to learn about hunting. Being that I am half husky and half lab, my hunting skills are usually all confused. I don't know if I should chase live animals like a husky or bring back dead ones like a lab... I thought if I watched this movie with the Little Biped, I might be able to hone my hunting skills.

After we watched for a little while, we were sent outside for our normal business. When we came back in, I smelled something funny and heard an odd noise. I figured it was time to try out the hunting skills I had learned in the movie, and see if I could catch the animal making the noise. I went behind the couch and started sniffing around at the baseboard heater. Then the animal squeaked. Mom yelled: "A MOUSE IN THE HOUSE!!!" She grabbed the Little Biped and instructed Dad that he needed to catch it. I stayed with him to work on it. We spent several hours trying to get it. When it would come out from under the heater, it would quickly run to another heater and hide under there. A few times, it found its way into the walls. Dad had all the tools that he needed: a few mouse traps, a screwdriver to try to chase it out from under the heater, a plastic bag to catch it in, and a hammer... Several times, we would go upstairs and leave it alone in the hopes it would come out.

Dad and I had gone downstairs to try and catch it again - well, that's what I thought anyway. Dad was taking laundry out of the dryer, but I was looking. I found it and got it cornered. I started to bark to get Dad's attention and he said "Good boy, Canyon!" I had the mouse trapped. It was hiding between a wall and an open door, but I wasn't going to let it get away again. Dad closed the door with me in the office and him in the laundry room. He told me it wasn't a mouse, it was a shrew. We have problems with these things. They fall down the stairs from our yard when it rains heavily. They must be trying to escape drowning in the yard. The shrew hid under the door, but I chased it out and then Dad got the little mole-like animal. He finished it off in a fashion similar to the old carnival game (you know the one), if not.....here's a BIG hint

We went upstairs and Mom told me what a good boy I was. That's when she got the can of food out and gave the whole thing to me! It doesn't get much better than that! Victorious in my hunting and a special treat!

Road Trip!

Hey Dogs!

Today my mom, dad and little biped got to go on a road trip. I still don't understand why they didn't take me along, but whatever....I got to stay home and rest. Canyon even got to stay out of his crate while they were gone. What fun......all 4 of us free to roam the house.

But enough about us, the road trip was to transport a 1 year old Siberian Husky from an overcrowded shelter to a loving foster home. Two MaPaw volunteers sprung her from the shelter and then met up with my humans who transported her to her new foster dad. Mom and Dad reported Sasha (transport dog's name) was a pleasure to meet. She rode well in the car and gave lots and lots of kisses and hugs to all of them. She loved our little biped (mom and dad were very cautious about this interaction) and she just seemed very happy to be out of the shelter.

Mom was telling me Sasha's story. She had been adopted months ago from the same shelter we rescued her from today. Her "family" took her back to the shelter because they couldn't handle her high energy level. So I say this as a reminder to anyone thinking about getting a dog....PLEASE RESEARCH THE BREED BEFORE YOU DECIDE ON THE ONE YOU WANT.....JUST BECAUSE WE ARE "PRETTY" DOESN'T MEAN WE ARE FOR EVERYONE!!!!

Ok, sorry for yelling, but I feel better know. In my first year and a half of life I was in and out of our local humane society shelter because the people who "owned" me didn't understand husky tendencies. Thanks to MaPaw Siberian Husky Rescue, Sasha will find a responsible, siberian-friendly furever home just like I did!!!!!

Kisses, Sky

(Wishing I would have gotten to meet her....she is VERY pretty)

Is Canyon Allergic????

Hello Everydoggy!

Ok, I know I complain A LOT about the "annoying one", but I think he may be having a problem with our houseguest. Mom says Canyon is reverse sneezing.....Dad had no idea what she was talking about so she looked it up on the internet and sure enough there is such a thing. Mom didn't make it up. Canyon has been doing this choking/cough/sneezing/sucking air in like it's his last breath. I do actually feel bad for him. He gets really scared when it happens and goes to mom right away for her to make him feel better. He's such a momma's boy. Mom read there are two ways to help him when it happens: cover his nose so he takes in air through his mouth or massage his throat since that tightens up too when it happens.

The reason for this sudden condition???? I believe it might be the new "houseguest", don't worry we won''t put Hennessy out on the street, but this only started happening to Canyon when Hennessy got here. If this condition persists after Hennessy leaves, mom and dad will take him to see our Dr. Horst to make sure there are no more serious medical things happening.

I couldn't resist sharing this pic of Canyon and his little biped....this was before the Minnie Mouse incident!

Woo woo, Kelsey Ann
