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 Kapp Pack

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.


Woo woo, Kelsey Ann
