Wicked Wet Wednesday

Wacky Bone Wednesday

Holey Moley!!!

Hiya folks! I hope you all had a very nice Thanksgivin' day and if'n you are a Black Friday shopper I hope you scored lotsa great deals. I, my ownself had a dogtor appointment - which wasn't too bad until he decided to squirt that Bordetella juice up my nose as a prevention against kennel cough. I won't go into detail about that other than there were a couple vet techs who had their hands full.

I'll say no more.

I don't know if Mom was feelin' bad for lettin' the dogtor do that to me, or if she was still guilt trippin' over havin' done nuthin' for my birthday. Whatever it was, she stopped at the local pet store and scooped me up a couple new toys. It was high time I had a new football, my other one has been in need of replacement for quite some time. (He now resides at the local dump just in case you are wonderin'.) The other toy is different ~ I never had one that came with pre-made holes.

I kinda like my new Holey Moley....

....bein' all squishy and stuff and easy to carry.

If you should happen to hear Mom hollerin' "Holy Moley" now, it's not 'cuz of sumpthin' I did - it's 'cuz she wants me to retrieve my new toy.

But I guarantee, if somebody tries to do this to my Moley, I'll bite 'em.

Holey Moley ~ it's time for us to get back work again already!!!

Friday Toy Review

In Mom's  opinion, my red ball was gettin' a little ragged around the edges and she thought I needed a new outdoor ball. I thought it was perfect with the whole side chewed out but hey, if it scores me a new ball, I'm all for it. Dad thought she should get me the same kind but since the only place she can find one is online, she thought she'd stop by the local pet store on the way home and get a similar one. As soon as Dad saw it, he said it would never last. Mom explained it would be fine because she had read a review online about how a lady had eight labs and they loved this ball and three years later it was still goin' strong.

Once again, she was proved wrong. She turned her back for ten minutes and already I had given it my own special stamp of approval.

It wasn't hard ~

just a little of this....

.....and a little of that.

and it was a done deal.

 Mom said if'n I had 7 brothers and sisters to romp with or even just one, mebbee my toys would last a little longer. Dad did not give his stamp of approval on that idea.

I'm bettin' you're just as ready to chew up and spit out the weekend as I am.

Let's hope it lasts a little longer than the new-ness of my toys does.

Infested Waters

Just when I thought it was safe to go into the water....

....a Blue LAND SHARK
terrorized the waters at my GrandPU's house!!!

I sprung into action....

....as he taunted me from afar.

Check out his teeth!

Better yet, check out my face!!!

 

Gotcha!

It's a fish fight to the very end.

Haulin' home the catch of the day.

Shark: it's what's for dinner.

If you plan on doin' any swimmin' on this Fourth of July weekend,

you can now feel safe in knowin' that the waters will be safe for you to play in.

Enjoy!

The rest of the story:

This most wonderful stuffie surprise came from one of my bestest friends, Sweet Sasha. Sharky Malarky (as I have named him) is built to last and the label says it is "The world's Tuff-est soft dog toy". I have set out to prove that claim wrong and am pretty sure I will be havin' a blast while tryin'.

Thank you Sweet Sasha and family! ♥

Oh, just one more thing I have to share with you: soon after I started playin' with Sharky, Mom announced to all my Facebook friends that I just loved my new crocodile. Apparently Mom does not know the difference between a "CRIKEY", and a  "DER, Dernt, Der, Dernt....DER, Dernt, DER, Dernt". How she got this far in life is beyond me.

Game Boy

A couplea weeks ago, Mom decided to clean out the box of toys that she had for the nieces and nephews. They're all grown up now and don't play with 'em anymore so it was time to pass them on to somebody else who might want 'em.
As always, I was Mom's Big Brown helper.

I just ate sank your battleship!

It's your move.

Ah-so you'd rather play Chinese checkers.

BINGO!

HEY! You weren't supposed to see this picture!

Uh, time to change the subject not only do I like to eat play games, I've also found that I have a knack for puzzles. My GrandPU had been puttin' together a puzzle over the winter and it didn't take me long to figger out I have a taste for puzzles too and jumped right in to help Pappy with his.
Can you tell which piece I helped with?

Here, mebbee this will make it a little easier:

After I helped with this piece I think Pappy got a little jealous

of my puzzle skillz 'cuz he wouldn't let me help any more.

You can bet nobody's gonna keep me from helpin' myself to a whole lotta weekend. I hope you have lotsa fun and games planned for yours too!

Mute Monday

Well Focused Wednesday

When Life Hands Ya Snow, Make Snowballs!!!

Good mornin' dawgs! Yesterday brought with it buckets of rain and
as the nightshades came down, we assumed by mornin' we would
wake up to a back yard delightful only to pigs and Big Brown dawgs.

Much to our surprise the sun shed it's light
on yet another layer of snow this mornin'.

Here comes Chester Big Brown tail. Sniffin' down the bunny trail.
Sniffity, sniff, sniff. Sniffity, sniff, sniff....where'd that bunny go?
Sniffity, sniff, sniff. Sniffity, sniff, sniff ~
over the fields of snow!!!

Lucky for me, Red Ball is not a fair weather friend.

Other than that it was an uneventful kinda weekend so I spent some time

goin' through my pictures. That's when I came across this little gem of a video

that I had never gotten around to postin'. It was from back in January

but seems to fit right in with our landscape this mornin'.

I had snagged a glove straight outta Mom's pocket and was

usin' it to keep my groundhoggeh skillz sharp.

Believe me, I'm painfully aware that it's Monday ~

but the moral of my story is, no matter how uneventful the week is, stay alert and hopefully you'll be able to snag a little fun this week also!

CowaWubba Wranglin' Wednesday

Snowball Battle

This is my Planet Dog Snowball that I got for Christmas this year.
Guaranteed not to melt.

I love my snowball ~ it's so
oooey, gooey, nice and chewy.

Even the vacuum cleaner thought so.

Mom performed an emergency snowballectomy and I'm glad to say
that the patient lived and is recuperatin' nicely.

I am sorry to say that the weekend has ended.

Hopefully, today finds you recuperated and ready to take on the

battles of the upcomin' week.

Crafty Canine

Welcome back to DogBlogville after the extended Thanksgivin' holiday weekend. I hope you all scored loads of table treats after spendin' many, many long hours rehearsin' those sad, "nobody ever feeds me anything" looks stuck to your "people food is bad for me" commitments.

The economy bein' what it is, I don't think I speak alone when sayin' that we're all tryin' to cut corners and save biscuit money wherever we can this Christmas. Mebbee some of you are Black Friday sales shoppers and that's all well and fine, but I'm here to tell you how to create a unique, personalized gift that will sure to be a hit for all the dawgs on your shoppin' list.


Materials needed:


Choose one of the better balls you've got layin' around and have become bored with. I will use my Softflex Bestball for demonstration purposes.

Then choose 1-3 of your other toys, depending on the size of the ball. These will be going inside the ball so choose accordingly. Remember now, these will be a gift so do not choose one of your favorites or it might be hard to part with. A small Kong, a toy dumbbell, a pink ball with a rattle inside are what I've chosen from my toybox. I've had a lot of fun with these toys....and that pink ball I've had since I was a puppy....and that Kong is perfect for holdin' treats. A-hem! Sorry I was havin' a moment -now I'm back and ready to proceed with my demonstration.

Step #1

Chew a nice, toy-sized whole in one end. (Ladies, LADIES! I know it's hard but TRY and focus on the TOY!!!)

Here, this closeup might help you to keep your mind on the subject at paw:

Step #2

Always keep in mind that you cannot replace what you take out. Once it's gone, it's gone. Also note, hole does not need to be an exact circle. It is actually more challengin' bein' an odd-shape. This looks perfecto!

Step #3

Now, just place one or more of the chosen toys in the hole and VOILA! You have two toys in one! 

Guaranteed to impress your friends with your ingenuity! This is one gift they will always remember. Trust me, one of these can keep a dawg entertained for hours on end. Nuthin' else will matter as their prey drive kicks in and they try to remove the "innards" from the ball. Hmmm....mebbee I should give it a test drive before actually givin' it away, you know - just to be sure it's "friend-worthy".

I dunno, mebbee I better go back to the drawin' board.

You know what they say, if at first you don't succeed,

try, try again. So that's what I'm gonna be doin' till

I see you again. Tryin' and tryin' to get

my toys outta this dogonne ball!

Woofs and slobbers,

Chester ;0=)
