Long Overdue Post

Dusty Doodles reporting here!

Sorry it's been all week since my last post. Doodles has been spending time making that arfritis go away from Da momma's hip and I think my efforts have paid off. Da momma hasn't exactly played with Doodles or Whiskey yet, but she says that she feels better. So Doodles is thinking maybe today she will play a good game of chase with us.

Doodles hasn't heard from Da sister's kiddles yet and I sure hope Meeshka doesn't ban them fore they can write me back. Da sister says not to worry and to be patient. Doodles doesn't like to be patient.

Doodles bets everyhusky and everydog is wondering why there is a picture of a snake on my blog. Well, Doodles will tell you!!

The other day Da momma was at work and then Da dad left. They were gone a long time and were even late with dinner. Da momma later told Doodles that she had to go back to the doctors and Da dad met her there. Anyway, whiles Whiskey and I were waiting for them to get home a huge snake slithered into our yard. Whiskey was terrified of him and ran to the top of our playcenter. Doodles joined her there to try to make her calm down and do something about that big old snake. He was longer then Doodles and ugly and fat as my leg. Whiskey refused to come down off of the playcenter -- she's such a wimp. And the snake meanwhiles was getting into our pool!! Whiskey was shrieking and Doodles was sure she was gonna shriek herself into bringing the policepeopols or something. Doodles would have been embarrassed to have the policepeepols come and find us both on the top of our playcenter yelling our husky heads off.

So, Doodles decided I had to get that snake outta our pen. The other dogs, Shonee and Tundra were laughing at me -- but my friend Omani, he was giving me encouragement and telling me hows to proceed. So Doodles wents up to the snake and I asked him nicely to leave. Doodles even gave him a little nudge....just like my friend, Omani said to. That snake had the nerve to wrap his slimmy body around my leg!!! That made Doodles mad! Doodles went after that snake and we wrestled a bit. He would wrap hisself around my legs and I would grab him and throw him. We did this for a long time -- in fact in the process Da momma and Da dad came home and Doodles didn't even notice. It felt like Doodles was in the battle for his very life!

Da dad came right out to my pen and grabbed the snake and got him off of me and took him out to Da momma. Da momma says he was a gopher snake and he was the biggest one she ever saw. She says he was over 6 ft long and as big around as my leg. Da momma says Doodles was very brave for fighting the snake. She said the snake wouldn't hurt us, but Doodles doesn't believe that cuz he had me in body hold when Da dad came in. I was beginning to feel like one of those wrestler peepol on the talking box! Da momma said that the snake was almost dead -- so she had Da dad put him out of his misery. Doodles doesn't know how Da dad did that cuz he took him behind the house and Doodles guesses they had the funeral back there to. Doodles didn't go. Doodles gots extra cookies. I had to share them with Whiskey even though alls she did was stand there and yell!

Doodles don't like snakes and I hope I never sees another one. So that's why there's a snake on my blog today!

Doodles is gonna try to visit everyhusky and everydog's blog today -- but we'll see how Da momma feels firsts.

Doodles out!!
