Here Fishy Fishy

Do you think if I could hypnotize the fish to make them jump out of the tank and into my frying pan?  I bet they would be yummy with some lemon, butter, and garlic!  Yes, I know they're little, but it would make for a nice snack before dinner.

What's that, these are the Little Biped's fish?  She's named them?  You say they're names are Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and the baby fish is Veronica?  You want me to not eat them?

Hmmph... well OK... I guess... Yes, I'll just look... Mom, can you go the store and buy some salmon?

Left Alone

Hey Pups,

We spent a long weekend home alone.  The neighbor's grandson stopped to visit several times a day and make sure we got our food and that I got my allergy medicine.  But, for most of the day we were without humans.  Canyon and I had the run of the house, of course; while, Meadow and Brook spent the weekend in the garage in their crates.  The humans left Wednesday after work and came back around lunch time on Sunday.  I had to look at the pictures on the camera to figure out where they were.

I'm wasn't sure where this was, but I recognize the guy made out of flowers - that's Mickey Mouse...  I figured that they must have been at Disney World.  Mom told me that there were lots of characters made out of flowers because Epcot was having the Flower and Garden Festival.

It was Mom's birthday, so she got a birthday cupcake at 1900 Park Faire.

They went there to eat dinner with the little biped's favorite - Princess Cinderella, Prince Charming, the step-sisters and step-mother (later in the week, they ate breakfast with Belle, Snow White, Ariel, Aurora, and Cinderella at Norway in Epcot).

Here's another of the little biped's favorites - Mickey ice cream.

Here's the little biped getting her autograph book signed by Mickey Mouse.

The pictures also revealed that they ate breakfast at Ohana with Lilo, Stitch, Mickey and Pluto; dinner at Crystal Palace with Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and Eeyore; and dinner at the Biergarten in Epcot.  There were no characters there, but there were funny dressed men playing traditional German instruments.  The little biped got autographs from lots of other characters including Mr. and Mrs. Incredible, Tinkerbell (and her friends), Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Mr. Penguin, Mary Poppins, Alice, and a few others.

Mom and Dad have already been talking about the next two trips in August and December.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - if Mickey's dog Pluto is allowed in the park, then why am I not?

Kisses, Skyboy

A Day with no Crates

Our morning routine usually goes like this.  I woke up at dawn and sit on Mom and Dad's heads until they wake up.  They don't wake up until the radio starts playing every day at 6AM.  Dad gets out of bed and turns off the radio.  It starts up again at 6:07.  Dad turns it off again.  Then it goes off at 6:14, and they finally get out of bed.  Dad takes us out, getting Brook out of her crate on the way, and Mom goes to the shower.  The humans get dressed, pack lunches, wake up the Little Biped and get her dressed.  Mom leaves.  A few minutes later, Brook and I go to our crates and Dad and the Little Biped get in his car to leave for the day.

Today went a little bit different.  Sky woke us all up at 3AM to go out.  We went back to bed.  At 5AM, Sky woke us up again.  This time no one went out, but Dad gave Sky water because this seemed to be what he wanted.  The 6AM alarm went off and Mom got out of bed and went to the shower.  Dad stayed in bed through a few snooze alarms like normal.  We went outside and everything seemed status quo for a while.  The really unusual part came when Dad and the Little Biped left.  Brook and I stayed in the house with Sky and Canyon!

Of course, we wanted to make sure that we wouldn't get in trouble so we would be able to have this privilege another time.  But, as you know - I have learned how to open kitchen cabinet doors, refrigerator doors, food dishes, etc.  Nothing was closed up!!  How could I resist this temptation?  I stayed out of the refrigerator - there's nothing in it right now I would want because the humans really need to go to the grocery store.  The dog food has been moved to a container in the garage due to me opening it all the time (and later teaching Brook and Canyon how to do it too) - so I couldn't get into food...  But, when I opened the kitchen cabinet, I found the trash can and it was nearly full!!

Brook helped me sort through it to see what we could find.  There was half a bag of popcorn that we ate.  We also opened the tea bags and ate all the tea out of them.

Mom came home and called Dad immediately asking him if he knew what he forgot this morning.  There was several minutes of asking how he could forget to put us in our crates, telling him how lucky he was that no damage was done to furniture or toys, that we didn't find the left-over Easter candy on the counter, and several other things not suitable to repeat on a family-friendly blog.  

So, Brook and I had a fun day playing in the trash can and sharing dog beds with Canyon and Sky, but I think we ruined our chances to try this again any time soon.  As the Little Biped says: DERMIT!!!

Bath Time

Hey Pups,

I finally convinced the humans to write a new blog post.  They've been very busy with working in the yard during the nice spring weather.

I wanted to share some pictures of the girls being humiliated with bath time this week.  

Meadow after her bath looking very sad and hoping Canyon will comfort her.

Brook in the bath and trying to escape.

 Brook wasn't quite sure what to expect when it all started.

The girls had to get baths due to accidents in their crates.  Brook hasn't learned yet that it's not OK to do their business in their crates (although there hasn't been another accident since the bath 6 days ago); and Meadow has been throwing up in her crate.  These events cause them to have a very strong odor that the humans don't want in the house.

So, now that I've sufficiently embarrassed my little sisters by showing you pictures of them during and right after their baths - I'll say good night.

Kisses, King Skyboy

We survived!

Well, we all survived the week with dad. I wasn't sure if Brook was going to survive though. I think she was trying to work on her HULA application. She could have been trying to plead with mom to come home early too. Early last week dad was in the room with the big water bowl and mom called dad on his cell phone. Brook decided she needed to try to answer the call and this was the result...



All in all it wasn't too bad with dad in charge. He didn't forget to feed us at all, but then again, Sky would never let him forget to feed us.

Here's a picture of the little biped when she cam home last week. This is the tube slide on her swingset. I'll share more pics of that later.
Here are Brook and I keeping watch over the neighborhood.
Do we look like a 2-headed dog????

I also have some bad news to share. My little sister hasn't been behaving very well, case in point, Dad's cell phone. Well, all of us sleep in mom and dad's room at night and somepuppy has been deciding it's a good idea to chew holes in mom's quilts. Brook is really working on her HULA membership. Well, mom and dad decided Brook can no longer sleep in the bedroom until she outgrows (hopefully) this puppy chewing habit. Brook has to spend her nights in her crate. I really miss her when she's there!

Butt wiggles, Meadow

Pee ess: Please say some prayers for Mom's family. Her Uncle that I hiked for last fall passed away last Thursday. We're positive Kelsey Ann gave him a big lick when he got to Heaven!

Calling All Royal Subjects to Protect My Castle

Hey Pups,

On Saturday morning suitcases were loaded into the car and the family left. I thought we were going to be home alone for a while... but Dad came back without Mom and the Little Biped. Apparently, it was a vacation for the women only. Dad returned home and let us out. Shortly after, he put the girls back in their crates, left Canyon and I in the house and got his tools. I watched from the window to see what he was doing in the backyard. He spent several hours out there, drank a lot of beers, and worked on the Little Biped's new swing set which is going to be a birthday surprise for her when she returns home on Saturday (her birthday isn't for several more weeks, but this will be an early present).

Sunday morning, a man-who-visits-us-sometimes showed up in the driveway. Dad left the teapot on the stove, and put us in the dog yard (fortunately Dad heard the smoke detector and came in the house in time to save us from disaster - the only loss was the teapot). The man-who-visits-us-sometimes and Dad spent all morning working on the swing set. This time there were no beers because the man-who-visits-us-sometimes said he had to go to work later in the day. We overheard the man-who-visits-us-sometimes suggesting that the dogs be the first to try out the sliding board. Dad thought it would be funnier to find a cat to do the honors. The man-who-visits-us-sometimes left around lunch and we got to come in. After lunch, Dad got his tools and beer again and we spent the rest of the day in the house.

Several problems in this situation... 1) We are left in Dad's care - can't complain about this too much because we are still getting regular trips out, food and water - the only problem is weekends are supposed to be time to play with doggies and we didn't get to play with Dad at all because he spent all weekend outside with beer and power tools. 2) Dad had beer and power tools - enough said. 3) Dad tried to burn down the house by leaving the teapot on while he went out.

Royal Subjects, King Skyboy hereby demands that you come and help me protect the house. Dad has beer and power tools... Who knows what could happen.

Kisses, Skyboy

P.S. Dad wants me to add that the only power tool involved was a cordless drill. He didn't have anything that could have injured him severely. The only injuries involved were a few splinters resulting in the necessity to dig them out with a pocket knife blade, but it wouldn't have been a man project if he didn't bleed on it.

Oweee Oweee

Oweee, oweee.  Puppy cries.  Mom got out the toenail trimmer a few days ago.  I struggled because I was afraid to be hurt.  Mom said if I had just sit still and been a good dog, it would have been OK.  Instead, there was blood all over the floor, Mom, me, and some even managed to splatter on the dining room table.  I had to get all bandaged up.  I'm fine now so don't worry about me anymore.  But I want to let all doggies know - when you see the toenail clipper go hide under the bed.  If your people catch you, then make sure you sit still.

Stuck in the Bathroom

Hey Pups,

OK, so I know this happened over a week ago, but I have to really claw at Mom and Dad to get them to write blogs since they got the Wii. Sunday a week ago, the Little Biped was in the big bed (Mom's and Dad's) with a movie. She fell asleep about 10 minutes in as expected. Mom was working on a dress for the Little Biped (but Mom's dresses are another story) and Dad was watching the Nascar race. Dad went and got the computer in the middle of the race because they put a little picture in the corner of the screen.

I'm not sure what the picture means, but before long they interrupted the race and showed a picture with lots of colors across another picture with lots of lines, words and dots. The colors were moving up and to the right across the screen. He told Mom that we were all going to have to go downstairs. Meanwhile, Meadow and Brook had climbed onto the back of the couch and opened a blind. We all saw it had started to rain really hard. Woooo!!! Going outside in the rain is lots of fun. We get to play in the mud and dig holes. Woooo!!!

Dad woke the Little Biped from her nap, Mom grabbed the computer and the camera and we all went downstairs. But instead of going outside, we all went into the little bathroom.

Even the Little Biped's bolt doll went with. Mom got her a pillow and blanket because initially she was still tired from her nap.

About 20 minutes later, we were allowed to leave the little basement bathroom and finally go outside. The TV said that a tornado had been seen near where we live. Fortunately, not to near. There were no problems at our house. Just lots of rain - which resulted in lots of mud in the yard. Wooo!

Kisses, Sky boy

P.S. Baseball season started - Go Cubs!!!

Huzzy Wednesday!

Ok, so we missed last month so we decided to add a few extra hussy pics for your viewing pleasure!

HA HA! April Fools Day! One hussy pics is all woo get!!!!

Rainy Sunday

Hey Pups!

It's a rainy Sunday here in Pawsylvania and I thought I'd share our activities for the day.

Meadow has claimed the love seat....

Canyon's taken over the big bed...

Brook's got her ladybug on the new bed Mom bought at Costco on Friday...

I've been studying my SZK skills of photo taking...There's no way they're getting a good picture...I don't think so...Nice try...

I'm not looking!

Humans can be so annoying sometimes.

As you can see an exciting afternoon in the Kapp Pack house.

Royal Kisses, King Skyboy
