It's TAG!!!

Dusty Doodles here!

I was tagged by IndyPindy.

Here's how this kinda tag is played:

The player of this game starts with "5 weird things/habits about yourself." Then you tag 5 friends and list their names. The furries who get tagged need to write on their blogs about their 5 weird things/habits, as well as state this rule clearly, then tag 5 more victims. Don't forget to leave your victim a comment that says "you're tagged!" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

1. Doodles loves foods, all foods. Doodles knows how to eat artichokes (but they must have mayonaise) and I even love lettuce.

2. Doodles woos when Da momma asks me "Does Dusty have woo's in him" or "You got something to say". It's my cue to woo away and sometimes I have lots and lots to say.

3. Doodles eats olives. We live in an olive orchard and have lots of trees. Da momma says the trees are too old for harvesting so we don't have that done. But the olives still fall to the ground and I eats them. They have to be just the right ripeness and I can become very possessive of my olives.

4. Doodles has to have dessert after every meal. Dessert is 3 cookies. If I don't eat my dessert I will bug the hoomans, including using the claw like Meeshka. Dessert is part of my meals. The most important part.

5. In real life Doodles doesn't like little dogs because once when we were on vacation, I was minding my own business on a trail and a little dauchie came and attacked me, biting my leg and made me need to see the doctor about it. Da momma kept me from killing the little dog, who wasn't on a leash, but ever since I see all little dogs as ankle biters and want them gone. Prior to that I was pretty gentle with little guys. But I love my internet doglet friends -- I would never try to hurt them because Doodles knows they wouldn't hurt me.

It's Just Me, Omani

Hello,

Dusty Doodles gave me his secret password and told me I should post a few words in his blog. I've never done this before, so if I make a mistake, please forgive me.

I want to thank all of Dusty's blog friends for asking about me and keeping their paws crossed for me in regards to my incident with the Stinkycat.

It was very late at night when I saw stinky. Now, you have to understand, there are no other animals allowed in my pen -- not ever. I am not a meanie (like Miss Shonee) but there are some things I just cannot tolerate. It is my job to alert the humans if anyone comes to our gate or if there are strange things outside. I take my job very seriously. My human family, as well as my canine family depend on me.

So anyway, I saw old Stinky and I alert barked, but no one paid attention. I am sure the humans were asleep and Dusty was in the house that night with Whiskey. Miss Shonee and TunMan were dead asleep -- you know they are old, right??

I took it upon myself to defend my family from the likes of Stinky. When I approached Stinky and asked him to leave nicely, he turned around and sprayed me right between the eyes with his evil smell. It hurt my eyes really bad, but it also made me mad. So I went after him and my niceness was gone. Stinky ended up having to attend a funeral, and it was his own. I am not sorry about that. The rules are the rules. I most certainly understand a Stinkycat or someone else accidently making their way into my pen, but when I ask you to leave nicely, you better do it -- or there will be consequences. That's the way it is.

Even though Miss Shonee and TunMan didn't get close to Stinky, they still had to go to Doctor Brenda's with me. I didn't know that Stinkycat's could carry rabies and not that it would have mattered anyway. I would easily lay down my life for those in my family. It's just the way I am.
I was up to date on my rabies vaccination and Stacy, our nurse, gave me another one, just to be safe. She also put some drops in my eyes that helped the sting go away. I had 'red eye' for a day or so, but they feel much better now.

We won't know for sure about the rabies unless/until I come down with it. Dr. Brenda thinks I should be safe from it, and I was last time we had a StinkyCat that came into the yard. If I show no symptoms in 60 days, they will assume that I am okay -- although my human says that in rare cases symptoms can appear 6 months later. I know it is a fatal disease and although I'd rather not die, I also know that if I do contract rabies, I have lived a good life and there isn't anything I would have changed -- well except for my friend, Dusty, having to live in a different pen. My humans love me, they have taken good care of me since I came here as a rescue at 10 weeks of age. I am now almost 6 years old.

Thank you all for your words of encouragement to Dusty. He's been pretty upset about the whole thing. And again, thank you for keeping me in your thoughts.

If Dusty allows it, I will post again sometime.

Always on guard,

Omani Frances

On a Serious Note...

Dusty Doodles reporting here. I have something serious I want to talk about.

Doodles doesn't understand how peepol can still allow us huskies, doggles and doglets to make puppies, when there are millions of us dying in the doggy jails. Doodles knows that some puppies have to be made, but Doodles thinks that those puppies should be the very best that can be made. The hoomans that own the mom and dad dogs should not just allow them to make puppies, but do everything in their power to make sure those puppies are as perfect and healthy as can be.

It makes Doodles really mad when I see meanie Shonee getting special attention. She gets special attention because she's sick all the time. Meanie Shonee is sick all the time because her dog mom and dad weren't checked for diseases before they made her. The peepol that owned her dog mom and dad were what Da momma calls backyardbreeders. They sound evil and Doodles doesn't like them. So because they were stoopid and allowed meanie Shonee's dog mom and dad to make her and didn't make sure they were healthy and disease free, now Doodles has to deal with meanie Shonee and her getting all the special attention from Da momma and Da dad for being sickly. See, that is pretty stoopid, huh?? Just another way that hoomans are stoopid. doG, let me count the ways!!

Doodles has been researching what us huskies need to do before we make puppies. Other doggles and doglet breeds may need to do different things. For huskies, we need special pictures, called xrays, to check out hips to make sure they are okay. We don't need no crippled puppies that need wheeliechairs to get around or any more that need bionic hips. We also need blood taken outta our arm -- just a little bit -- to check for thyroid problems. Thyroid problems can make us too fat or too skinny and can even make us meanies. We also need our eyes checked. Doodles doesn't mean more peepol looking at our eyes and telling us how buuuteeeful they are. We know they are pretty good looking eyes, but because they are so pretty, they can get evil things in thier call catracks and they can make us blind. If we had a bunch of blind huskies, we might need more Labs to be seeing-eye-dogs for them. No more Labs!! (even though some of Doodles' bestest friends are Labs!!) There are other things that we need too, before we make puppies. We need to be checked to make sure we don't have sex diseases. Not just huskies can get those -- ALL doggles, and doglets can get them. And one more thing -- all doggles, doglets and huskies need to be the very best their breed has to offer and that needs to be confirmed, not by just your momma and your daddy, but by other peepols that don't know you and who don't live with you. Sometimes you will prove that you are the very best in shows or races or agility or stuff. Doodles knows all my friends are the best, they are the bestest friends that a husky could ever have -- but that doesn't mean you are the bestest to make puppies. It doesn't matter if you never have puppies, Doodles will love you all the same!! Woowoo!!

Doodles loves puppies and I don't want any more puppies going to the Bridge because they don't have homes and doG knows we don't need any more dogs here at our house. So unless your house can keep all the puppies that you make, please don't make any -- unless like I said, you've had all your tests and you are the best their is to make puppies.

Stinky Cat Update

Dusty Doodles here reporting as usual!

Thought I'd give you all an update on the stinky cat situation. Da dad packed up the three pack and took them to the doctors. My friend, Omani, says that they weren't allowed into the building cuz they stunk. So the Stacy lady, who is our very favorite nursie came out to the truck and gived everyone shots and special nose drops. My friend, Omani, says that the nose drops were the regular ones that we get every year for the cough disease. My friend, Omani says he gots all upset because he wanted to go into the building and get the doctors cat and Stacy told him NO!

My friend, Omani, was still upsets about everything when they gots home. He came to the fence to talks to me and he really stunk. That stinky cat gots him good and you know what?? What smells exotic from a ways away stinks to doG heaven up close. Doodles eyes watered and I sneezed too. My friend, Omani says the stinky cat sprayed the stink into his eyes and his eyes hurts him. Nursie Stacy told him it would go away in a day or so and put stuff in his eyes to help him. My poor friend Omani. He didn't gets to go to stinky cat's funeral either.

Then, Da dad came out and went into the three packs pen with lots of stuff and the water hose. They all had to get baths in stuff that bubbled on them. It helped my friend, Omani, not stink so bad. They each gots two baths. Whiskey and Doodles didn't have to get baths cuz we didn't get near the stinky cat.

When Da momma came home from workie (very late) she says they smell better and could come into the house now.

Our doctor, Dr. Brenda says she thinks my friend, Omani will be okay, cuz she thinks his shots will work for him and she doesn't think the stinky cat had that bad rabies disease. Doodles herd Da dad tell Da momma that.

I herd Da dad tell Da momma that he thinks we have a family of stinky cats living in the bushes on the outside of our perimeter fence, cuz this was just a baby stinky cat and he couldn't of traveled too far. Doodles hopes the stinky cat family stays on their side of the fence, cuz Doodles don't want no baths.

Better go and see if I can bribe some cookies for looking cute and smelling better then my friend, Omani.

Beaking News -- Stinky Cat Funeral

Dusty Doodles here reporting on the latest happenings.

It was Doodles and Whiskey's night to sleep in the house. The meanie Shonee, Tundra and my friend Omani were sleeping outside. Da momma says they may be sleeping outside for a long time.

I woke Da dad up to tells him that stinky cat was around -- cuz it stinked really bad. Da dad let me outside in my back yard to do my business and Doodles didn't see the stinky cat. When I cames in, Da momma made me come into the bedroom with her and Whiskey and I heard Da dad go out front. The three pack didn't come in though. He yelled at them loud.

When Da dad came back in, he tolds us that my friend Omani had killed a stinky cat. Da dad gots him away from the stinky cat and had to bury him. Da momma didn't go to the funeral, she stayed with us and she saids that stinky cats -- she calls them skunks -- are too stinky for her to stand around in her pj's and watch Da dad bury. Doodles thinks she should have gone anyway.

According to Da momma, the three pack has to have their shots -- which means either they have to go to Dr. Brenda or Dr. Brenda has to come here. Da dad's 'posed to call first thing in the morning to find out if Dr. Brenda will come out or allow one of the girls to come and if they are too busy to come today, then the three pack have to go in to the doctors.

Then Da momma saids that they have to have a special bath and Da dad has to go to town to get the rest of the ingredients. I'm glad Doodles and Whiskey don't have to get special baths. Doodles doesn't like baths. I wonder if the bath will make the stinks go away???

Da momma saids that the stinky cats carry something called rabies that us huskies and doggles can get. Doodles hopes his friend Omani doesn't get it. Da momma says that with hope and luck and prayers that the shots will hold them. But maybe the stinky cat didn't have the rabies.

Doodles is worried about his friend. Cross your paws ok?? Doodles is sad that stinky cat lost with Omani -- but Omani is a big doggle and stinky cat is smaller then a doglet and if this stinky cat wasn't full grown, then he was smaller then that.

Doodles is sad that stinky cat didn't get a proper funeral too. Do stinky cats go to the Rainbow Bridge?? Da momma and Da dad are mad about the stink, but Doodles kinda like it and I think they are over reacting, just like typical hoomans, to the smell. It don't smell that bad. It smells kinda interesting...better then that foo-foo perfumie stuff Da momma uses -- it makes me sneeze.

Back to sleepy time -- it's still the middle of the night here.

Doodles Out.

Simply Sunsday

Dusty Doodles here reporting as usual!

This is a picture of Doodles at the beach. Doodles loves the beach, but I don't get to go very often because it's very far away. There are fun things to do at the beach. Rub in all kinds of exotic smells and play in the waters. When we go to the beach we gets to stay in a little cabin. It's like a house only way smaller. Da momma says when we goes to the beach, Doodles acts like he is on vacation cuz I won't eat my regular foods and will only eat vacation foods. Vacation foods are cheesyburgers and chicken and fish and french fries.

The quail birds woulda walked into Whiskey's mouths today, but she didn't open her mouths. Instead she barked at the quail bird and he flewed away. I gots to train her better or something. That quail bird will be back though and Doodles is waiting!!

Da momma is walking funny. It must be hard to walk on just 2 legs instead of 4. Anyways, she says it's arfritis in her hip and it hurts her. Doodles says get that arfritis outta there. Da momma says she wants one of those bionic hips like the doggles at Meeshka's place. Doodles says she needs to do to that doggles' doctor and he would give her one. Maybe then she wouldn't walk so funny.

I caught Da momma with tears on her face today. Doodles hates when she does that cuz then Doodles has to lick them all up for her. She said that too many good peeples die and that some lady who loved huskies named Susan Butcher died of some silly disease. Doodles woos for her family and Doodles knows that she's leading the best team of huskies beyond the Rainbow Bridge. One day all us huskies will get to kiss her and woo for her in person.

In other news, Da sister is being very bad. Doodles emailed Da sister several days ago and asked her to fix my blog all up with new links and Paw It Forward like Charlie asked, but Da sister hasn't done it. Doodles even told her to let Sadie Mae on the compooter to update her blog and tell me about the Spa, but she hasn't done that either. Doodles doesn't like it when Da sister doesn't repond to polite requests and Doodles isn't quite sure what to do about it. Da momma says Da sister will be here in a few months for a visit. If she's not done her stuff on my blog by then Doodles is gonna have to keep her in the compooter chair until she does and then Doodles thinks he will parade in the yard with her underwear. She always gets mad when Doodles does that. That will show her about polite requests and stuff -- donja think??

Time to go snuggle with Da momma and try to scare away that arfritis stuff from her hip.

Doodles Out.

Funs on Frysdays!

Dusty Doodles reporting from Da City of Gold!

This is the quail bird that is gonna walk into my mouths any time now. He is getting closer and closer and pretty soon he will walk right in. Doodles even has Whiskey convinced to just lay still and watch and wait -- I think she's waiting for one to walk into her mouths too. Da momma says I'm getting droolie face waiting. She's such a goober.

Speaking of Da momma, I heard her tell Da dad that for the next month (how long is that??) she has to do that workie thing a lot. Doodles herd that the other peeples at the workie place are having an operation (does that mean they are broken and have to get fixed like Doodles did??) and then somepeeples is on vacation or something. Doodles thinks they just went to the beach and left Da momma there to do all the workie things. Workie is stoopid. When Meeshka rules the world, I bet we don't have that workie thing no more. Doodles don't like Da momma do that workie thing from sun up to sun down cuz then Da momma is too tired to play with Doodles and Whiskey.

Da momma tolds me that Da sister called and said that Sadie Mae went to the spa and they were mean to her there. Da momma threatens to send Doodles to the spa cuz I don't like to get that torture brush. Why would Da momma send me to a spa if they were mean to Sadie Mae?? Da momma says it would be a different spa then Sadie Mae, but I don't know if I like that whole spa idea. Any of the doglets out there go to the spa?? Are they really mean to you there?? Da momma says they will make me smell good. Doodles doesn't want to smell good, Doodles wants to smell like stinky cat. Doodles likes stinky cat. Doodles will do the bitie thing if they try to make him smell good.

Today Doodles and Whiskey stole Da dads cookies. See he got himself the peeple cookies, you know the kind that taste really good, but they don't let Doodles have. Something about choclate making huskies stoopid or something. Anyway, Da dad got hisself the cookies and then went to the room where the peeples do their business and he left the cookies are the low table in the talking box room. So ---- Doodles took one cookie and Whiskey took the other cookie. They were sure good. But when Da dad came back he asked who ate his cookies and Doodles and Whiskey denied it. Da dad had the nerve to open our mouths and look to see if we had cookie stuff on our teefs. We did, we were busted. He said we were bad HULA-gans. That will teach him to leave the peeple cookies alone. They just called to us and we had to save them.

That's it for now.

Doodles Out~

Just to Clarify...

Doodles here --

Just need to clarify about my post on fences. Doglets ususally do well in yards with short fences, because they are short! Many doglets I have learned don't climb, cuz it might hurt their little backs. But all dogs and doglets get the 'grass is greener' thoughts if left alone too much and you, little doglets still needs to be careful about and all.

I knows not all dogs are huskies (and some of those other kinds are pretty cute for doglets), but us huskies are what Da momma calls nomadic. What that means is we like everyone and every place and like to explore.

So huskies and doglets alike, just be safe and make sure your hoomans keep you safes -- okay??

Doodles Out!!
Short post tonite cuz Da momma needs some extra kisses and snuggles -- she was gone from sun up to sun down (when I woo'd her home) cuz of that workie thing she does.

News About Peeples

Dusty Doodles reporting here in sunny northern California!

It's very nice outside for summer. It's only about 90 during the day and the nights time has a little nip in the air -- in the 50's. Doodles and Whiskey been spending time pool-side and catching the rays. Only one problem with that. Whiskey's fur is sunburning. Her black and white tail is turning red and white. You think she might turn all red and white like Meeshka?? I kinda like Whiskey black and white cuz Doodles thinks that it looks good with me -- I'm gray and white....but I don't know, that Meeshka and her red and white sure is purty. Woowoo!!

Doodles wants to know why peeples are so stoopid. Can anyone tell me?? I'm standing at the back door waiting to go out and do my business and they ASK me if I want to go out! HELLO -- do they think Doodles is standing here to look purty??? Then Doodles comes in the house and runs to the cookie jar, which is on the counter -- conveniently placed outta my reach by those same peeples. Doodles is standing there looking purty and trying to tell them that it's COOKIE time. After all, Doodles went outside and did his business and came running back in, what more reason is there to get a COOKIE??? So Da momma peeples, she asks me if I want a cookie. Well, Doodles would rather have a steak, but since those aren't kept in the jar on the counter -- what do I have to do spell it out for her?? Doodles thinks he is becoming a pointer dog or something.

And Da dad peeples is really no better then Da momma peeples. He just ignores us and I have had to resort to bitie and claw to get his attention. Then he looks at Doodles all stoopid like and asks me if Doodles wants something. I only been trying to tell him for ever what it is Doodles wants and he was ignoring me. So Doodles gots his sandle shoe and took a bitie out of it. He hasn't noticed yet -- but he will. Then I went outside and went swimming and came running in and jumped on his side of the big bed. I didn't get Da momma's side wet, only Da dad's side. Doodles will teach him to ignore me!!

Woowooowoowooowoo!!! I almost forgots to tell you. I saws the quail birds today. They are almost big enough to eat! Yummmyyyy!!!! Fresh quail under the veranda. Those quail birds are so stoopid they just walk right into my mouths. Last year a couple of times, I was just sitting in the veranda enjoying the day and the quail bird walked right up to me and about jumped into my mouths. All I had to do was open my mouths and eat him. I can't wait til they do it again....

I'm going out now to wait for the quail birds to walk into my mouths.

Doodles Out!

Something Serious

Dusty Doodles here, reporting on something serious today.

We all read Meeshka's blog about chips and tatoos and not getting lost. And my own cousin, Sadie Mae, got lost and her tatoo and chip helped her find her momma again.

Chips and tatoos and collars and tags are all important, there is no doubt in Doodles mind. Doodles and all my furry family here are chipped and I am also tatoo'd. Da momma wants us back if ever we get lost or stolen.

I wants to talk to you tonight about containing us huskies and wanna be huskies. We can be difficult to contain and Da momma knows lots of peeples that have lost their dog friends because the dogs friend escaped from the yard. Yards and pens and outside time is important to us. We like it outside where we can enjoy the weather and the bugs and the lizards. But sometimes the grass is greener on the other side of that fence, or it blocks our view of the Jacks or cowdogs and we gotta get out to see those things. Getting out of our fences can be really dangerous for us. There are cars. Why I don't know, seems hoomans can't run very far and have to drive those cars. But those cars smoosh us flat. They are pretty big. And the other thing, out here in the country where Doodles lives, there are farmers and the farmers can SHOOT any dog found harrassing their cowdogs. Now I don't think that's very fair, but they can do it. There are lots of dangers in the peeples world, bad peeples, peeples that do mean things to huskies and doglets.

When you peeples brought us huskies and other doglets into your lives, we needed you to keep us safe. Part of that is keeping us properly contained. Now I like to run free just as much as the next husky, but I also know that there are bad things out there.

Different huskies need different types of fences to keep them contained. Some huskies will stay behind a 4 ft tall fence -- at least until a Jack or cowdog comes along. The best bet is to make our yard or pen as husky-proof as possible.

What does it take to keep us in?? Well, Doodles can tell you what we have here and so far it's kept us pretty safe. We have chain link fencing, it is 6 ft tall. We also have that fencing buried in the ground next to the fence, so when we get in a dig-fest we can't tunnel under the fence. Da momma keeps locks on all our gates. Now the secret is they just look locked, but they aren't really. But those bad peeples that would hurt us don't know that, don't you tell them either -- it's our secret okay?? We also have zappy wire. Doodles doesn't like zappy wire, but it makes me stay away from the fence!! Since we live in the country and have big pens, Da dad also put a perimeter fence around our whole property -- it has a locking gate on it that either you have to have the clicker (if Doodles didn't chew it) to get in or know the special codie thing. The meter lady knows our codie thing, so she gets to come in and feed us COOKIES. The firepeeoples and the poleecepeoples know our codie thing too, so they can save us if we need help and Da momma and dad aren't around. And one other peeples knows our codie and that's our doctor -- cuz she comes by sometimes to visit (without giving shots) when she visits her horsey, which is down the road. When Da sister comes to visit, Da momma gives her a clicker -- if the Doodles hasn't chewed it.

So Doodles feels pretty safe here at my house. Could you please ask your hoomans to go check your fences and make sure you can't get out?? I'd hate to lose my new friends because they escaped and were running free and didn't have compooter axcess. Go. Now. Woo to them and take them to the fence and show them your secret escape spots.

Stay Safe

Doodles Out!

New News!

Dusty Doodles here reporting~

Congratulations to Meeshka for her 24 hours blogathon. She raised over $1000 for the huskies that need homes and future HULA members. Also thank you to Opy and Charlie for helping to keep Meeshka awake, while the rest of us in dogdom slept and only dreamed of her.

In news in my neighborhood....well the hoomans are at it again. They keep trying to steal my furs. I've noticed that when my furs starts falling out it gets hot. So Doodles thinks that if he keeps his furs it won't get hot and maybe if I keeps enough of them, it will snow. Never fail, just when I think I've got it going on and am going to get to keep my furs those evil hoomans bring out the brushes and blowers and other instruments of torture to steal my furs. They can make me lie down, but they can't keep me from growling and snarling and generally throwing a fit. I even try to bitie them -- not that I would, but it's fun to watch them jump and stuff!! Well I guess I over did it on the bitie thing because they put a nose glove on my nose. How absolutely insulting. Doodles took it off and then grabbed their arm with the brush thing and held it. They got the message, but not before they stole a whole bagful of my furs.

Da momma bought OTTER POPS yesterdays, but they aren't frozen yet. She says we haves to eat all the Pup Pops first and then she will freeze them. That's okay, at least I know they are here and I feel so much better.

Oh, I found a picture of a stinky cat and will try to post it later. Seems blogger doesn't like Doodles this morning cuz it won't let me post any pictures.

In other news, hmmmm lets see. Nothing much is happening. It's still cool outside -- which is good. Oh, I did notice that Meeshka on her blog talked about the big blue water bowls. We have those -- they are our swimming pools. We have a blue one and a purkle one and then a BIG silber one and a smaller black one. When you lives in the hottest parts of the world, you gots to go swimming. I'm gonna try to post a picture of Doodles swimming in the big silber one. Cross your paws. It worked!!! So that's our BIG pools.

We also have misters for when we hafta be outside...like when the hoomans are working or the it's the meanies time in the house. The misters are hung in our pen and then spray a fine mist of water down on us -- they help keep us cool like the pools.

That's enough for now cuz Whiskey Girl is biting my leg and I gots to go whomp on her!

Doodles Out!

No news tonight

Dusty Doodles here -

No news tonight, busy keeping up with the blogathon. So I leave you with a picture of a cowdog to entertain you -- but you better look quick and then get back over to Meeshka's place. We gots to keep her awake with our comments ya know!!!!

Frysdays Happenings

Dusty Doodles reporting here!

Doodles don't feel so good. I frews up my breakfast today. It wasn't fun and I don't like frowsing up. I felt better after I did though and now I'ms waiting for my dinner. Da momma says she'll feed me cuz Doodles hasn't done it again. I think it was the lizard I ate before breakfast. I swallowed him quick like cuz Da momma saws his tail sticking out of my mouth and I know she was gonna make me leave it. Doodles didn't want to leave it, so I swallowed him. Oops. Bad lizard.

It's cooler today. The weatherhooman didn't lie!!! It's not snowing or anything, but it was only about 90 I heards on the talking box. Doodles did the happy Husky Dance!!!

I did not get Pup Pops today cuz of my tummy. But I didn't bother Da momma abouts them either. I didn't want to upset my tummy and not get my dinner cuz we're having CHICKEN for dinner.

In other news -- Whiskey and Doodles were on the cat watch today. See Da hoomans here feed the wild cats outside the fence. They don't want them to come too close, cuz last time they did -- well, we had a funeral. So they feeds them outside the fence, but we can see them from the backyard. So Whiskey Girl and I sat and watched for them for a long, long time but they didn't come out to play today. You think cats can smell us or something??

While we were cat watching though, we saw a JACK! The Jacks are out and running through the field and we saw them!! Jacks are funny animuls, with them long ears and everything. And they run funny, kinda like a hop or something. I told Whiskey I thought they had the hip problem that some doggies get, but she told me I was stoopid. Doodles is not stoopid.

So that's the news today. Don't forget about Meeshka's blogathon for the homeless huskies. It starts in the morning. I can't wait to see the pictures of her on her hooman's head!! And all the money that's being raised for them huskies that need homes. I hope they all get homes with compooters so they can blog and we can work on taking over the world. Check my links for Meeska's page and make sure you visit there!!

Doodles Out~

Fun on Fursday

Dusty Doodles here reporting the happenings!

I am still out of OTTER POPS but I might have forgiven Da momma for not running right out to the store and getting more. She made me Pup Pops! They are ice cubes that taste like CHICKEN! Doodles loves chicken second best in the world, next to Otter Pops. So Doodles kinda liked these Pup Pops. I'll let you know if she comes through tomorrow with more of them.

In other news, I want to woo to Da sister for updating my links and stuff. Da momma is kinda stoopid when it comes to that stuff and she doesn't trust the Doodles to figure it out on his own. So I just email Da sister and she does it for me. If you'd like me to link to you, let me know and I'll tell Da sister to add you.

Otherwise, it was a little puppy bit cooler and the weatherhooman says that by Satsday it is supposed to be back in the low 90's or high 80's. That may sound hot to some, but we have been blistering our paws with 110 to 115 so those temperatures sure sound nice. I understand that it's WINTER where Opy and Charlie live and I woo'd Da momma telling her I wanna to go and visit them...she said no.

There was a stinky cat out early this morning. I saws him walking down the street. You do know what a stinky cat is right?? It's those cats that smell a lot and are black and white. I saws him walking down the street and I was sure he was gonna get hit by a car or something, but he didn't. I wanted to go rub on him because that smell is kinda interesting. I member when I was a little pup and was still crated at night, one of those stinky cats came in the yard and got his stinks all over the 3 big dogs. They had to go to the doctors and get shots and then had baths everyday for a week cuz the hoomans wanted to throw up everytime they came in the house. It was pretty funny and I laughed my puppy booty off.

I saws the cowdogs today. They came by for a visit. They sure are interesting with their moo's instead of woo's. Just when I think I have it figured out what they are saying, they change the subject. Kinda rude if you ask me. I think one of them is gonna have a cowpup. I think that's what they said. I'll keep you informed. Maybe if they do have a cowpup, he'll be more my size and I'll get to play with him.

That's the news for today.

Dusty Doodles reporting.

Doodles is having a national emergency. This is not a test, this is the real thing!!!

WE ARE OUT OF OTTER POPS!

Everyone who knows Doodles, knows I live for Otter Pops in the summer. They are cool and icy and taste really, really good. Da momma showed me the box from the cold box and it's EMPTY! I woo'd her and told her to get her booty to the store right now and get some more, but she said it was too hot. HOW DOES SHE THINK DOODLES FEELS WITHOUT HIS OTTER POPS!!!???!!

I then tried the Claw from Meeshka fame, but my hooman just moves too quick, so that didn't work. I just don't know what to do or how I'll manage without my Otter Pops. Da momma says she's not going to the store until Satsday and today is only Wedsday. That means I don't have any Otter Pops for Fursday or Frysday. I'm gonna die. I am not a happy Doodles and I even did the bitey thing on Da momma's toes and it's not working. Nothing is working. HELP!!!

I'm going to try a hunger strike and see if that works!

Neighborhood News

Dusty Doodles reporting from the neighborhood!

That weatherperson lied. It's still hot, blistering hot and there is no snow in sight. It doesn't snow here -- so that's no lie!

Today I bit Whiskey on the nose. Not real hard, but hard enough that it left a mark and a bump. She had it coming. She's always grabbing me by my beautiful mane and throwing me around and it was just too hot for Doodles to play today. So I bit her. Don't worry, she still loves me.

We gots to try Chinesefoods tonight. Da momma said it was too hot for her to cook, so she sent Da dad to town for the Chinesefoods. We had noodles and rice and some kinda meat. Da momma said it was supposed to be chicken, but it didn't taste like chicken to her, so she wouldn't eat it. We gots it. It was chicken. It was yummy. Yup yummy.

One of our chickens died. I DIDN'T KILL HER!!!! Da dad thinks the heat got to much for her. They are old chickens. So old they don't lay those egg things any more. Da momma says they were in their tirement, and this was thier tirement home. I wanted to eat them. But they are outside our back yard in their own pen. I couldn't even dig in there because they have that wire stuff on the ground to protect them. So anyway now we only have 2 chickens in tirement. They are black. I still wish I could eat them cuz Doodles likes chicken. Da momma says no eating the chickens cuz they are our pets. I don't know if they had the chicken's funeral yet, I didn't see Da momma cry and Da momma cries whenever anything dies. Hoomans are so silly sometimes.

In other news -- Da sister is supposed to be fixing my blog so you have my email. Yup, Doodles stole the secret code and set up his own email account. Shhhhh don't tell Da momma, k??

Tomorrow Doodles is going SHOPPING for new toys with the plastic card that he stole. I'll let you know what I bought, I'm gonna check out that eBay thing and see if they have any Doodle or Whiskey stuff.

Doodles Out!!

Whiskey Girl

Dusty Doodles here reporting on my girl!

This is Whiskey Girl. She's my girl. I love my girl. Isn't she beeeuteeeful????

Da hoooman momma and dad gots her for me so I wouldn't be by myself. See, a while ago Shonee the witch with a 'b' decided I couldn't live with her and Omani and Tundra and she tried her hardest to kill me. So I had to go into a pen by myself. Da momma didn't know if it was me or her that started all the trouble and so I had to go through all kinds of tests. Tests at the doctors and tests at the trainer and tests with peoples and tests with other dogs. I tried to tell them it wasn't me that was the problem, it was that meanie, Shonee. But I pasted all my tests and they decided I needed a friend. I did, I was lonely for the rough and tumble husky play.

Da momma put out the word to rescues and stuff and a BREEDER called her about Whiskey Girl. See Whiskey Girl was supposed to be a famous show dog, but she had some traumas in her life and they left her a wild child. Da momma called her 'near feral'. Don't know what that means but whatever, them hoomans have lots of names for things. The breeder asked da momma if she would take Whiskey Girl because there was no where else for her. No one would buy her and they didn't want to send her to the bridge. So Da momma brought her to meet me and it was love at first sight. I loved Whiskey Girl and she loved Doodles.

Whiskey Girl has come along way since she first camed here. At first she wouldn't come into the house and we had to herd her. I ain't no herding dog, so that was hard for me. Now Whiskey Girl has learned that Da hoomans love her too and wouldn't hurt her, so she comes in and everything. She's still scared sometimes, but I run to her when she gets scared and woo to her and make her all better.

Whiskey Girl loves COOKIES about as much as I do and that's the one thing I don't like about her. She's a cookie hound. Cookies are for Doodles and Doodles will share, but it doesn't mean he has to like sharing. Da momma makes sure I get the biggest and the bestest cookies, cuz I'm her favorite -- at least I better be.

So that's the story of my Whiskey Girl.

Setting Things Straight

Dusty Doodles here setting the record straight!

Doodles has had some questions and I thought I should answer them. First I want to thank all of you for leaving wonderful comments about my new blog. I just love dem comments!!

My real name is Karamad's One Dusty Guy. Da hoomans named me. See I am grey and white and they thought I looked dusty. They didn't know that right before I met them I gots a bath, so I wasn't even dusty. But that's my real name. They call me Dusty or Doodles or Dusty Doodles. I like Dusty Doodles cuz it just fits.

Sadie Mae is really my niece. But huskies don't have nieces, we have cousins. Sadie Mae's momma is my Da momma's daughter. I call Sadie Mae's momma my Da sister. Sadie Mae is a lab who wants to be a husky and I think she would make a good husky -- she just needs to get fluffier.

Meeshka is not my girlfriend. Ok, so Doodles has a crush on her. Doodles thinks Meeshka is beeeutiful and quite fluffy. My girl is Whiskey Girl. I will post about her probably tomorrow. Whiskey Girl is quite pretty and fluffy. Whiskey Girl and I live together -- but don't worry there won't be any little husky paws hitting the floor, we are both fixed. Da momma says all puppies or dogs that come here are broken and have to get fixed cuz there are too many puppies and dogs that don't have homes.

My sponsorship of Meeshka in her blogathon did not put her over $500, although it brought her pretty close -- but I am still interested in seeing the picture of her sitting on her hooman's head. I would like to take credit for the picture being posted and Meeshka making her goal, but I only helped, I wasn't the 'winning' sponsor.

I've never heard of eBay. I'm gonna have to check that out -- do they have good toys and treats there?? Since I stole the plastic, I gets to go shopping!!!

Yes, I have killed a cat. Honest, it wasn't my fault. I found him in my yard and I was just playing with him. Who knew they were so fragile. I was really upset when he died and the hoomans found out, cuz they took him away for burial and I didn't get to attend the funeral.

I been trying to post a picture of me and this blog won't cooperate tonight, so you all will have to wait until tomorrow.

Checking In

Doodles here, reporting as usual.

It's still hotter then you know what outside. Even though the weather people promised cooler days, they lied.

It's been so hot even the cowdogs are not coming around to play. Yep, we have cowdogs as neighbors. Da hoomans call them cattle, but I know they are cowdogs. The come to the fence and invite us to play -- we can't go over there -- it's got zappy wire, but we woo to them and they woo back -- except their woo sounds kinda funny, more like a moooooo. I haven't seen them since it got so hot. Da hooman Momma says that they are probably staying at the pond, where it's cooler. Maybe so, but I miss them.

Otherwise, lets see, hmmmm....the bluelady came today. She's nice and gives us cookies. Doodles loves cookies!! She says she reads the meter, but I don't know what that is. She parks at the gate, walks in the walkway gate and goes to the back of the house. Then when she comes out she gives us COOKIES. I woo her all the way back!

Well that's it for now, maybe more later about WHISKEY GIRL.

Sadie Mae

This is Sadie Mae. Sadie is a lab, she's not a husky. Sadie is my cousin. She owns my hooman sister, Becca. Sadie used to live close to us, but then Da Sister got a job in the desert, so they moved far, far away -- all the way to SoCal, in the desert. Da Sister has to teach them little kids at a school. And Sadie doesn't like staying home by herselfs, so she escapes sometimes. Da sister thinks she has it fixed so the Sadie doesn't escape any more....but I don't know. Last time Sadie escaped she went to ARIZONA. That's a long way from her home in the desert. A lady found her and took her to the doctor to get her neck scanned and they found Sadie had a microchip and Sadie gots to go home to her mom. I gots a microchip too. But I'm not real keen on escaping. When I get out of my pen, I just run to the back pen so I can come into the house. Da hoomans have a perimeter fence and it has zappy wire on it to keep us in. I don't like zappy wires so I don't go near it.

Sometimes the way Sadie escapes and some of her other escapades makes me think she's part husky. She's not. She's just a lab trying to be a husky. I think she learned it from me.

Check out Sadie's blog when you have time, I had Da sister list it in the sidebar so you could find it easier.

Oh, and don't forget to sponser my favorite girl, MEESHKA, in her upcoming blogathon. Meeshka is raising money for the homeless huskies that Harnessed To Hope are trying to help. Just click on Meeshka's fluffiness and it will take you right to her blog.
