Apologies Needed



A few days ago, I mentioned summer sucks. I need to clarify that I was talking about the season, not our blogging friend Summer. How could I not like such a beautiful red and white husky like myself? It's the same situation as stormy weather (small 's') and our friend, Stormy (big 'S'). Summer, please accept my apology.
Don't forget that the polls close tomorrow on your favorite thing to do. Get your votes in if you haven't already.
And 1 final announcement. I'm currently in second place for the Hike 'N' Howl pledges. I want to be #1 (no offense Brandi). Brandi, I know you're older, but I knew Ma and Paw before you did. Just click on the Sponsor Me button.

Into the Closet Again

Have I mentioned summer sucks sometimes? I seem to spend my entire life in the closet these days (at least my human doesn't make me wear a stupid shirt). I missed out on the early morning hours of blogathon because I needed to hide in the closet....especially after I had a poo accident on the kitchen floor. Here's what we are dealing with right now!!!

I will see everyone after this whole mess is over...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Kelsey Ann

This Week's Garden Update

Hello Everydoggy,

I'm back from my closet hiding place. Hopefully, there will be no storms tonight.

Mom was out watering the garden earlier and picked some things for us to check out.
Here's Canyon checking out the zucchini Mom told me she would grill for us...
Sky's got the tomatoes and cucumbers approved. Yes, those are yellow tomatoes. Mom thought she would try something new. She told me they are very yummy...
Canyon's checking out Dad's hot peppers. These are going to go in his jar of "clear your nose out" hot stuff...
Here we are impatiently waiting for our grilled zucchini. We got the idea from the Army of Four and asked her if we could try it.
I made Sky try it first...his assessment was "yummy"...

Canyon was next...he said "yummy" too, neither of them dropped over in agony so I figured the zucchini was safe...

Here I am about to try it....it was yummy...

Sky loved it so much he wanted more...Mom likes giving him treats because he takes them like such a gentledog...

I hope everydoggy gets some nice special treats tonight. Especially, the blogathon doggies.....like Meeshka and Steve and Kat. They need to keep their enegy up to last through the night.

Woo woo, Kelsey Ann

Hiding


Sorry Everydoggy,
There will be no post tonight. I spent the evening in the closet due to the storms with the small "s". They were really scarying me. I'm glad mom remembered I needed to go to the closet to be safe.
Woo woo, Kelsey Ann

Tag from Sashaville

Hi Everydoggy,

Sasha tagged us to answer some questions about ourselves.

Where is your favorite place to sleep??
Kelsey Ann- in the closet
Sky- in my bed
Canyon- in the biped's bed on the woman's feet (wish they let me sleep in little biped's room)
Is there a specific trick your humans make you do to get treats??
Kapp pack- no, not really, just look cute. Bonus when little biped asks to give us treats for no reason.
If you could spend an entire day doing anything at all with anyone what would you do and with whom??
Kelsey Ann- spend the day sleeping with a side trip to McDonald's for french fries
Sky- one on one time with the human woman and a car ride to anywhere, hopefully followed by a walk.
Canyon- spend the day playing with my little biped with breaks for a nap
What is your favorite toy??
Kelsey- I don't DO toys.....
Sky- a yellow stuffie that looks like a banana
Canyon- the rope bone that's downstairs and all bones
If you could change one thing in your life. What would you change??
Kelsey- Canyon would NOT wait at the top of the steps to jump on me on my way up!
Sky- I could run free like the wind (Mom sidenote:that ain't happening buddy!)
Canyon- I would be completely trusted and not have to be sent to my crate everyday while the humans are away.

We tag Echo, Steve and Kat, and the Army of Four.

The Polls are Closed

Well, we had a close vote this week, but I am excited to announce the stuffies won the vote! They are my personal favorite as long as they are orange or yellow. It's so cool we had so many votes this week. Our new poll will be to find out what you favorite thing to do is. Remember you can vote for more than one thing, especially if you have more than one dog to vote for. Stay tuned for the results next Wednesday!


Til Later, Sky

Our Garden Update

As I told you yesterday, Mom took me out to help inspect the garden. Mom told me she's growing tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, watermelon, pumpkins, cucumbers and eggplant.

Mom says these tomatoes are almost ready to pick!
The peppers still need to grow a little
The zucchini is growing really well...the leaves are all fuzzy

I'm super excited about having 500 visitors to my blog. When Guiness and Shiloh reached 500 they made a wish list on what they would want 500 of.
Here's our list of what our pack wants:

Me (Kelsey Ann) -$500 in pledges for the Hike N' Howl (I really want to win the treats!)
Sky - 500 orange squeakies
Canyon - 500 kisses from the little biped
Mom - 500 tomatoes from her garden
Dad - 500 new books (he read a lot on airplanes on his business trips)
Little Biped - 500 new toys (like she doesn't have too many already)

I also need to give a really big shout out to my MaPaw buddy, Echo. It's his birthday today. Happy Birthday, Merlin's Echo from the Kapp Pack!

Woo woo, Kelsey Ann
(remember to get your vote in for favorite toy. Poll closes tomorrow night!)

Lab that Doesn't Swim???

Ok, so the annoying one (Canyon) got to go outside with the bipeds yesterday. The little biped was going in her pool. They thought Canyon would like to try swimming, turns out this lab mix doesn't like the water. When I have more time another day I will compare his husky and lab traits. The little biped even tried to give him a pseudo bath (no soap involved). Glad it was not me....haroooo!

Canyon after Mom put him in the pool (lasted 5 seconds)


Here's the bath sequence......


OOOOO...a huge water bowl!

Good riddens, peace and quiet! They left me inside to sleep...or so they thought. Who could have slept with the screaming Sky was doing. Sheesh!!!! Now that was obnoxious. He was SSSSOOOOO upset he did not get to go outside. The really stupid part of his hissy fit was that he HATES to swim. I guess he forgot.

Sky watching Canyon be tortured!



So after dinner, Mom took Sky out for some special time to himself in the yard...and guess what? Canyon wouldn't shut-up because Sky was outside and he wasn't. I can't win! Maybe I should give them away like Meeshka tried to give away the gimpy mutatoe for a blogathon prize.



To make it up to me Mom let me go out and check the garden for her.....I will tell you more about that tomorrow.

Pack Restored

Well, Mom is so proud of herself. She keeps telling everyone, "I did not fail transport again." I, for one, am glad she didn't fail. Training a puppy is hard work and I like to relax and snooze a lot. We all said our goodbyes this morning.




Bye, Bye Rocky

Mom, Dad, and the toddling biped took Rocky to meet up with the rest of the MaPaw family. They were at a Meet and Greet at the Graeme Historical Site in Horsham, Pennsylvania. The park was having a Celtic Festival. Mom said there were lots of guys walking around in skirts called kilts. Humans are so strange.

These sure are strange

Rocky got to meet Ma and Pa and some of MaPaw's voluteers. There were a few of MaPaw's alumni doggies and more importantly there were foster doggies there showing off their best qualities. Mom told me she was so excited to see Maximus again. For those doggies that didn't know, we were Maximus's first foster home....we were the ones who helped him recover from his surgery. I promise that we didn't laugh at him when he had to wear one of those stupid lampshade thingys on his head!

The doggy sitting is Maximus and the one in front is Elvis, an alumni MaPaw doggy.

That's Max again with Princess on the left and Misty II on the right. Magnum's Dad is on the right.

Goodbye for today, Bye Mr. Max
Mom told me she also got to see some of the people from the 2 other rescues joinging MaPaw for the Hike N' Howl, Delaware Valley Siberian Husky Rescue and Harnessed to Hope Northern Breed Rescue. Don't forget to make a pledge to sponsor me....the doggy with the biggest amount get some kind of special treat.

Puppy Video!

Here's some video of Rocky that Mom took last night. I've been too busy playing with the puppy and not much time for blogging. I'll have more to tell tomorrow when Mom and Dad tell me all about the MaPaw Meet and Greet tomorrow.

Announcing......ROCKY!

Ok, so I told you I heard Mom talking about a puppy coming for a visit. Well, Mom and the toddling biped left for a while today and yes, you guessed it, came back with a Siberian Husky puppy. He has a striking resemblance to Dave of the Army of Four and Harley of Cybersibes. I put together a slideshow for everyone to see this 12-week-old little cutie!


Things have sure been interesting around here. I am taking his under my wing and teaching him just like a mother would do. Sky is being Mr. Cranky Pants, not sure if he's worried about his status as second in command or if he is mad Canyon is playing with Rocky and not him. Canyon is loving having somebody younger than him to pick on.

Mr. Cranky Pants

All the toddling biped want to do is give his hugs and kisses.On Saturday morning my mom, dad and little biped will be taking Rocky to a MaPaw Meet and Greet and from there he will go onto his foster home. And guess what? Rocky is going to the same foster home Rocky and Buck are, isn't that cool? This will only happen if mom keeps saying......I will not flunk transport....I will not flunk transport.

Now if he would just stay out of my food dish!!!!!

Woo woo,
Kelsey Ann

The results are in.....

Thank you to to all the doggies who took part in our poll this week. The most popular doggy movie was Snow Dogs with 52% of the votes. I think this is a great movie for us all to sit down and watch this week. We can visualize and be one with the snow.....who knows maybe it will make it seem cooler. Thank dogness for air conditioning! Check out this weeks brand new poll!

Inside scooper: I overheard mom talking with Ma (from MaPaw) it sounds like there will be a puppy coming to visit us for a few days. He's a foster dog in tramsport. Mom keeps saying over and over "I will not flunk transport, I will not flunk transport". I believe she's refering to the fact that the annoying one (Canyon) was a transport failure. Obviously he never left our house. I think mom said she and the toddling biped are picking up the furball tomorrow. Won't dad be surprised when he gets back from his business trip? Maybe he will think mom shrank Sky (i heard the little pup is black and white too). Now that would be a funny sight.....Honey I Shrunk the Dog.....hehehehe.....I wonder if Amber will think my joke is funny?

Quiltin' Time

Hi Everydoggy,


Mom has been hard at work doing lots of things lately. One of the more important things is completing 3 quilted photo frames. These were items won in MaPaw's most recent ebay auction. Each one will be customized for the pack it's going to. The one I am modeling in these pictures will be sent to the Mom and Dad of Lucy, Kosmo, Clyde, Thunder and little foster orphan Annie. I had lots of fun helping mom but, it's time for bed. Quilting is hard work.
pssst....I heard mom say something about making a doggy quilt for the silent auction at the Hike N' Howl. I'll keep you posted as a learn more about this.

Woowoo, Kelsey Ann

Our Slogans

All of my doggy friends seem to be coming up with new catch phrases for themselves. My mom helped me find where I do it to. Here's what I came up with for my pack!

Lions and tigers and kelsey, oh my!

Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy sky.


And last but not least...


To Canyon and beyond!

The 2-year old biped likes Canyon's quote the best!

Special Hikers

Hello Everydoggy!


I've been selected to be one of MaPaw's special hikers for the Hike N' Howl on September 1st. For all you doggies out there who haven't heard of this, the Hike N' Howl is an event being held by the Alliance of Northern Breed rescues. These rescues are MaPaw Siberian Husky Rescue, Delaware Valley Siberian Husky Rescue and Harnessed to Hope Northern Breed Rescue. All money raised will go towards helping the dogs in the care of these rescues. This is such an exciting event. Along with the hike there will be face painting for the little bipeds, informative talks like the one my mom is doing on Pet First Aid, and FOOD. Mom tells me she is in charge of the food (I'm going to glue myself to her side for the day). So if you live close enough come out and join us for the fun and if not, maybe you can steal....I mean borrow some money from your humans to help our doggies! Some of the other special hikers you might know are Echo, Shiloh, Magnum, Harley, Sasha, Indy and Meeshka.

The PAWTY got crashed

Well, I thought I was going to have the house to myself for my big PAWTY... No such luck.

Around 7:30 last night, Mom came home to let me out, feed me and give me my pills. I knew she was coming so that wasn't a problem. She brought Sky!! Can you believe it. I'm supposed to have the place to myself and now I have to watch my little brother too. What a drag... Mom said he had to come home because the little biped learned how to open the zippers on the tent and they were worried that she would let Sky out of the tent in the middle of the night. They didn't want to end up chasing him again while on a camping trip; especially in the middle of the night and in the dark. Canyon got to stay because he's part lab and doesn't have the husky predisposition to run. He's also scared of a lot of things and would probably be too afraid to try and go for a romp through the woods in the middle of the night. Boy... he doesn't know what he's missing. Anyhusky who's ever gotten to go for an an untethered run knows this is the best thing in the world. Can I get a WOO-WOO anyhusky? Well, it wasn't too bad having Sky around. I made him be our butler in exchange for hanging out with the cool dogs.
The night really got going later on; it was about 1am. We all had our silly PAWTY hats on, and I was up quite a bit in the poker game. Here we are playing cards and I just got dealt 2 aces in the hole. Of course I raised the bet. On the flop, there was another ace, and two kings. I had a realy good hand now (full house - ACE OVER KINGS!!!). I went all in. The river comes out and I've got - you guessed it - ANOTHER ACE!!!!!! I was so excited, I was about to win 400 dog biscuits. Then the door opens. Here comes Mom and the little biped.. The child wouldn't sleep in the tent because there was a DJ and karaoke. The music was too loud. I don't know what the issue was since they both went to bed right away.

They didn't bring Dad and Canyon home. They stayed at the campground, and my pawty had to end. Sorry to ruin everyone's night... but hey - I still got all the dog biscuits since I had four Aces and a King kicker!

PAWTY AT THE QUEEN'S!!!

So, my humans are going camping for the night and they decided to leave me home to sleep in peace. Little do they know the big PAWTY plans I have in store. They are only staying 20 minutes away and will be home to check on me but they decided the Queen needed her beauty rest. They are taking the 2 amigos with them...and the toddling biped.YAY, I get a break from the annoying puppy. Mom and Dad promised to bring me hot dogs when they stop home to feed me and let me take care of business outside.

So everypuppy out there, PAWTY at the Queen's tonight. Bring your hats and head on over!
Echo, can you bring the cake? Or maybe Zim can bring one (that carrot cake looked really good)? Indy can you bring the cheese? Anypuppy volunteer to bring the peanut butter? Don't worry Turbo, no stoopid humans allowed!

Make sure you raid you humans wallet before coming and remember this isn't no nickel, dime, quarter kind of game!

Banana Mutts!

Sky here, I borrowed the computer from mom tonight to tell you about MY new toy. Canyon thinks it's his but it really is mine. I love any toys that are yellow or orange.

Me with my new yellow banana toy
Here's Canyon with the stolen goods!

As you can see I couldn't allow this blatant display of insubordination!


Are you in awe of my technique?

In NASCAR they would refer to this as a "bump and run"

Well, Mom thought we would like a special treat since we were having so much fun playing with the new banana toy. She made us banana cupcakes!

Don't they look yummy?



Mmmm....they are yummy! I was even nice and shared with my little bro!
I told Mom she needs to make yummy treats like these more often! What yummy treats do your mom or dads make for you?
BTW, Stay tuned for Queen Kelsey's big announcement tomorrow!
Kisses,
Sky Boy
