Helpin by Hucklebuttin

Ok, seein as how I'ma 'fficial member of this tribe now I think I shood get ta post more AN' use pretty girlie colors too! Now that the 'nnouncement is outta da way.......

DawgDaddy spent a real long time rakin' leaves, an' burnin' leaves, an' workin real hard on da yard last week all by his-self, so I decided I should help him. DawgMom even got the flashie movie box out so y'all could see what a good job I done.

I mean, they feed me these pawsome foodables, an' make sure I have my medicines ever'day, an' take me on long walkies in da woods an' let me smell all dem cool smells, like deers, an' tree rats, an' rack-a-coons I tink they're called, ya know, them dudes wif da maskes on? Well enny ol ways DawgMom will let me smell an' smell an' smell. Ya know, dem woodsie critters leave more pee-mail than Chief, my little Chinese Crested brudder does an' HE leaves like a whole GALLON of pee-mail ever'time he goes outside!!! I was walkin' today an' I smelled some pee-mail from a new dude in da neighborhood. I telled DawgMom to look on dem ADT movie boxes an' see if she could see who da new dude was what left dat new pee-mail. Well, she looked an' she just telled me da new dude was Mr. Postum. Well I don't know 'bout all that now, I don't even know what a Mr. Postum looks like, but I don't think DawgMom would lie to me so.....

Anyways, the whole point of all dat was since they are so good to me, I thought I'd be good ta dem an' help so before I show you da movie jus' let me say it was funnerer than chasin' tree rats to help DawgDaddy wif dem leafs.

Pee-Ess can some-bully tell me what a Mr. Postum is an' what he looks like???

House in the Woods update

Madame Secretary aka DawgMom is beginning to slack off again, no posts on our bloggie since Wednesday! At least she hasn't been slackin in the foodie department, we have had some pretty awesome suppers this week. Chicken leg quarters, ground turkey, gizzards, Jack Mackrel, cottage cheese, eggs, liver, taco meat (that's 60% ground beef, 20% chicken hearts & 20% gizzards all ground up together) beef heart & I heard her say something about tryin to find some more rabbit for us. Our great foodies is the only thing that keeps us from firing her completely. She'd probably want severance pay anyways.

Anyways, enough gripin about it, DawgDaddy won't let us get rid of her anyways. Meanwhile, we are still at least a month away from gettin into our house in the woods, the sky has been leaking ALOT lately & that big monster machine that moves dirt around won't run in the rain. Imagine a big honkin machine like that bein afraid of the rain! Ray, our foundashuns man, the dude that runs that big ol' chicken machine is widenin our driveway into the house so we can get our house on wheels in there & he's puttin some kind of foreign drain in there (*note from DawgMom~a french drain) to keep the water from runnin into the basement when the sky leaks alot.

DawgMom took all those pictures usin our ADT system cameras. You can see Ray runnin that big, honkin' machine & DawgDaddy talkin to him. Here's our driveway last year before Ray got there to make it wider. That bank has been knocked down some now.

So far, if the rain holds out, both Ray & the tile dude are almost done & as soon as they get finished, we're outta this ol' city & we'll be country dogs! DawgMom says if it don't happen soon, she's gonna go crazy, we haven't bothered to tell her, that will be a VERY short trip for her so she don't need to pack any clothes for the journey. BOL!

Check out all the little demon dogs outside. BOL! DawgMom is always tellin us the boogeymans is NOT outside, but looks to me like the boogeymans is not only out there, he's turnin our sisters into mini boogeymans too. BOL!!

Frog Legs for Easter??

We had a crazy night Sunday night! Crazy I tell ya! Sunday is the only day DawgMom & DawgDaddy are both home with us all day. DawgDaddy works all the time (hey we hafta eat ya know!) & so Sunday is the only day we get him all day. He plays ball with us & loves on us & we take naps too! He also cooks brekkie & dinner for DawgMom. That dinner was the start of our crazy Easter night.

It started like this.......
DawgMom has been wanting fried frog legs for dinner for a while now & she finally found some on sale at the big Foodie place. DawgDaddy got them all ready for cookin', he soaked them a bit in some kinda stuff, then got the skillet ready for cookin' them. We still can't figure out exactly how it happened but all of a sudden the house started gettin' all smokey. DawgDaddy said he had the stove turned up too high & the oil was gettin' too hot. Yeah right, whatever. DawgMom started openin' windows & the back door & all of a sudden we heard this loud, screamin' noise comin' from that box on the wall in the hallway!! It was LOUD!! Even louder than the Cresteds when they start the sing-fest. Or Cissy when she's busy screechin' at us for whatever crime we committed at the moment, you know, like we looked at her or we sniffed her. She's such a drama queen, all like "Ya'll are gonna mess up my bed!" or "Don't drool on me!" & let me tell you, she can screech like nobody's business! For a little dog, she's got a big mouth!

(Feather: Get on with it Darla, yer ramblin')
(Darla: Fine, I was tryin' to make them understand how loud that was!)
(Feather: Then tell them, stop yappin' about Cissy!)

(Darla: Ok, Ok, I'm tellin' them! Sheesh!)

Anywho, DawgMom was tryin' to get the smoke out & catch Cissy, Peggy Sue & Pooch to lock them in the bathroom so they didn't run out the front door. Pappy was cryin' & Rascal ran & hid in the spare room! DawgDaddy was yellin' "Punch the code in the alarm box!" DawgMom was sayin' "I'm tryin' to, I'm tryin' to!" Well, DawgMom finally got the code punched in & all the screamin' noise stopped. Cissy stopped screechin' & Peggy Sue stopped barkin' but Rascal wouldn't come out of the bedroom. I was barkin' & barkin' & barkin' tryin' to tell that dumb box on the wall to SHUT UP!! DawgDaddy was tryin' to find the phone! The phone! Can you imagine, all that ruckus & DawgDaddy wants to call some-bully!

(look how innocent Cissy & Peggy Sue are tryin' to look, no screechin' here)

DawgMom found him the phone & he checked the caller id thingie & says "They've already called" (well he added a couple of HBO words in there, in fact, there were quite a few HBO words in that whole 10 minute time period) Anyways, DawgDaddy called the dude at ADT & told him there was no fire here that it was just a cookin' problem (ya think??) & DawgMom couldn't get to that box in the hallway within the required 30 seconds to punch the code in. Well, the ADT dude told DawgDaddy to hold on for a minute, then he came back & said he called & stopped the fire department!! They thought the house was on fire cause the alarm was goin' off & our DawgParents didn't answer their call (like we could hear the phone over the alarm & Cissy's screechin') so they called the fire department! At least they caught the firemen before they got out! Shew, I bet we would have been in trouble with them all right!

Everything turned out all right, DawgMom got her frog legs, DawgDaddy settled down after he got the wine out & had a glass & we are happy to know if the house ever really DOES catch on fire, the alarm system really does work! Thank goodness. I guess those ADT dudes are pretty good after all & that's why DawgDaddy had them put a system in our new house in the woods too.

I think DawgMom learned something~~Yer supposed to have HAM for Easter dinner, NOT frog legs!!
