THIS IS WILLOW SIGNING OUT FROM THE COMPOUND.  WARNING ALL OF YOU TO WATCH EACH OTHERS TAILS.

What's up with this?

What the crap is this?  Can you believe it?  First they are snuggling together and NOW they are sleeping together.  This just isn't right.  I call airefoul!!  Now, I don't do this to any other 4 pawed hoomans.  Ok, not intentionally anyway.  I may snuggle with them but this.....THis ......THIS is pawrageous!!!!  This is no light sleep either my friends.  Look at my mamma Apache carefully.  She has the roaching position but is sound asleep.   Do you see her touching my girl with her foot?  I can't look anymore....... let's move on and see what my boy is doing.

Ok I just can't seem to win here!  This is Milo the Aire puppy.  He seems to like my boy.    Would you look at those ears?  I found out that Ty gave him a treat and this is how he thanks hoomans for treats!  Thank goodness he found a home and is going to be flying those friendly skies tomorrow!!!  One puppy down at grandmas!!  Woohoo

Back at the home front, dad picked some vegetables from our garden that sploded.  In case you are all wondering, yes I have been getting to eat some of them.  They are really good.  My pawrents made such a big garden they forgot what they planted.  Silly hoomans.

SO, this is Willow signing out from the compound.  Warning all of you to go with your kids when they go to grandma's.  They cheat on you with grandma's 4 pawed ones and that's just crap!!!!

Meet Sierra!!

                                                                     SIERRA

Hi everyone, Willow here.  I have decided to take a day off from my whining and complaining about my family being gone.  I decided I would take a day off from feeling neglected.  Why you ask?  I am doing this so I can share my story about my cousin Sierra with all of you.  Now if you have been over to Beasely's Blog you have already heard about Sierra.  If not then let me introduce you.........

Sierra is a 7 month old Rare Black Airedale that resides at the Tenkiller Airedale Kennels.  She is very sweet and loves to help out all those she lives with.  My grandma got a call one day from a lady named Allison saying she needed a worker dog because her dog just died.  She told my grandma her story of growing up in an orphanage, living in a dirty environment and getting Polio.   This is one nasty disease my friends.  I sure am glad we fur kids can't get it!

Allison had a post-polio status for many years.  She grew up to live a fairly normal life, married,raised children, volunteered with autistic children and children in crisis.  These are just some of the volunteer work she has done in her lifetime.   All I do is volunteer my poops to my boy, slurps to my mommy and whining to dad.  Hmmmm

Allison is now 54 years old and became sick with her Polio again.  She no longer can walk or work or do the things she once did.   When she reached out for help in the community that she helped for so long she got NO help.  So my grandma donated Sierra to her and another kind lady who trains worker dogs has volunteered her time to train Sierra.   If I could I would bite me some people, but instead we are going to help her.  We at our house are giving up a month of treats and toys.  Mom says we are kinda spoiled and can go without for a month.

Sierra and Allison need to be together as soon as possible.  We are trying to raise funds for the flight, the spaying and training materials.  Sierra will be flying from El Paso, Texas to Maine.  We know times are hard for everyone so any little bit can help these two out!  Thanks fur pals for reading about Sierra and Allison.  I am sure they will keep us up to date on their status or Apache will.    If you can help out please contact my human at cactusbird70@comcast.net.  

This is Willow signing out from the lonely Compound.  Don't worry I will be back to feeling sorry for myself tomorrow.  I still say no to the puppy.  My mom said something about a Red one.  She scares me!!

                                            Sierra and Pita hanging out at the fence.  Sierra is telling Pita about the big trip she is going to take.   She was enquiring about a map!  Sierra wants to know what it is like in Maine.  Being that she was born in the desert she is a little worried.  After all...... I was born in the desert and now live in the Midwest.  Ummmm is that the same thing?

This is a picture of my fur mommy and my girl Ally.  I guess it didn't take her long to find a replacement for me!!!            OK so what if she looks like me Ally..... she is my fur mom after all.  Don't let her fool you.  I am a lot sweeter!!!  Do NOT bring her home!!  Or any other dog/puppy for that matter.  Dad says NOPE, NOPE, NOPE!!!!                       

LOOK now mama Apache is trying to take over Ty!!!  Oh, this just can't be happening to ME!!!!   AND...... now i hear my sister Jazzy wants to take Ty to her house!  Grrrr,  Dale Snaps what is a girl to do???  

Beasely if you happen to see my mom while she is out there you have to help me out buddy ok.

1. Don't let her bring home a puppy!
2. Remind her that life really is all about me!!
3. Look at her with those "Dale" eyes and say "remember these....Willow's are waiting for you at home!"
4. Then get tough and say "ADMIT IT LADY YOUR LIFE WOULD SUCK WITHOUT ME HER!!!  NOW GO HOME!!!"

SO ENOUGH RANTING.  THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING ME WITH THIS STRESSFUL TIME.  I WILL BE HERE DAY OR NIGHT  ANYTIME TO HELP YOU OUT WHEN YOU NEED IT!!!

I GUESS IT WILL BE WHAT IT WILL BE!!!

LOVE TO ALL OF YOU,

WILLOW AND THE GANG

OH NO!!!

DO YOU ALL SEE THIS????  That is MY boy hangin' with those puppies.  Rumor has it he has been running and playing with them too!  Not good my friends not good!!  What about ME hmmm?  Yes I said it.  What about me???  I am just as cute as those puppies.   I even mind better!!

I heard those puppies were bad bad bad kids today!  They had Ty and mom running in circles.  They (all 8) got a tarp, tore it up, then got caught up in it.  Mom tried to get them out and as soon as she got one out that pup would turn around and get right back in it!!!!  My boy just stood back and laughed at this scene.  teehee  But mom got him back by making him pick up lots of puppy poop!!!!  teeeeheeee  He hates this job!!! 

 Then the puppies managed to get into the shed, they are magicians, and went shopping!!!  They came out with all sorts of stuff.  Again, mommy was on the chase trying to get the stuff from them.  The ONLY one that minds her is Pita.  She and Pita bonded last time she was here.  (She bottle fed Pita for those 3 weeks)  Mom said she would bring Pita home but me and dad said NO NO NO!!!

So I guess I could say I am lonely for my mom and kids!  It doesn't look like they miss me very much.  George how did you do it?  Maybe I should just sneak out and go to your house since you live the closest to me.  I could hitch a ride up to your house....it's only a few hours away right!!!!  Your pawrents would love on me!!!

The good news!  Yes there is some.  Grandma bought me a present, I hope one of many she will send home with my pups.  My friend Sarah comes over everyday in the afternoon and my other grandma comes over for a few hours in the morning everyday.   So all is good in the loving department!  Well I am off to nap.

This is Willow signing out from the Compound today!  No words of advice today!!

Home Alone.....With DAD!!!

Well they left yesterday! I tried to get into the suit cases but I had NO luck! Mommy kept making me get out. Pilar and I both had picked one but alas....it was a no go for both of us!!! I am telling all of you right now!!!! It was the longest, yes longest day of my life! :((

They left the house by 6AM did you read that pawfriends 6AM. Nobody in house every gets up that early. EVER!! I tried to get in the truck when they were loading but again that didn't work. So I got lots of lovin' and a good treat (one of the good ones that Faya sent me) then they left. Just like that. They said "Bye Pilar, Bye Willow, we love you see you in a few weeks." Like we were nothing!! Oh Beasely if I had those fart bottles from you and Deetz I would be gone, out of here, fly the coop, hit the road and everything else!!!

On a positive note. My favorite friend Sarah (who really LOVES me) came over when she got off work and hung out with me(ok us)*sigh*. She did tell me that mommy asked her to come over everyday to hang with "us" (ME) while they were gone. Daddy gets home late and that worried both mommy and daddy. They know how sensitive Pilar(me) is. Ok and grandma comes over during the day to see us too. But nobody will be taking us to McDonald's or for car rides!!! There is just something wrong in this world.

Mom told dad last night that a small toy poodle was on their flight to New Mexico. My kids wanted to know why I couldn't have MY own seat on the plane and how come only little dogs get to ride top side. Now that's what I am talking about. Yeah pups!!!

So I will end my sadness here! Wish us all luck. Remember not to let your hoomans get to far away and that guilt DOES work. This is Willow signing out!

Melitta's FIRST Wheel Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday everypaw! I am so very excited that today is my VERY first day to post. I saw that my mom introduced me yesterday. I wish she wouldn't have. I wanted to be the first to let you all know I was here!



Mom hasn't got the camera out and started snapping pictures yet. I seem to have come at a time when there is a lot of commotion going on in this house!! Everyone is running crazy. The statue of Sadie told me it is always like this but it is worse now because they are going on something called a vacation to grandma's! I am not sure what this means for me. **Note I must talk to Statue Sadie later about this**



I miss all my pals at Penny, Poppy and Patch's house. There were so many of us coming to life at the same time. Then of course there were the ones there to greet us with smiles and slurps in the cabinet! Great times....great times!!!! THEN....the next thing I new I was on a plane (ok so it was 1st class) to Michigan!



As you all know my name is Melitta! Did Willow or Pilar ever share with all of you how much my mom LOVES coffee. Well I was named after Melitta Bentz who in 1908 in her house in Germany invented one of the 1st coffee filters. She wanted a better tasting coffee so she invented the cone filter!! Yep we here at the "compound" as they call it, admit mom is coffee nuts!!! So coffee drinkers when you go to buy your cone filters.....now you know the rest of the story!!! Hey at least she didn't name me Starbucks or "Paul Anka" like the dog in Gilmore Girls!!!! Talk about digressing!!!



Well all I can say is let the adventures begin. Ummm do I have to do the agility stuff like Hector does??? Or do I act like a lady like Autumn and Amber? What does a Wheely do on Wednesdays? Until next Wednesday.....

Love,
Melitta

Meet Melitta!!

PLEASE MEET OUR WHEELIE MELITTA!!!!!!

Melitta is the creation of Penny, Poppy and Patchs' mommy Lana! Isn't she boootiful?? She was made with loving hands and is just pawsome!!! Yes she was made to look like me but she has a different name. We didn't want everyone to get confused since we look so much alike. She even has a birth certificate.
She came today by special delivery. No not by the 3P's , I wish. My under appreciated mail lady brought her to my door. Yes MY DOOR! The hooman pups tried to help open the package but mom said (in her mom voice) "back off dudes....now!!!" She meant me too. She was serious about this mini-me. NO TOUCHY!!! We got to look but not touch! Now I don't know about the rest of you but I find something seriously wrong with that.
Melitta has a special place on the hutch next to the statue of our beloved Sadie who is now at the Rainbow Bridge. Mom says it is only temporary then they are both getting moved to a safer place. What's up with that.......
So here she is!!


Look she even has the red/brown in her face too! Look at those perfect ears!!












Mom says she has my sweet eyes!












Great wheels!!!!















The white is in the right spot!!






Well this is about all the excitement we can handle today. Mom is trying to get us packed for our trip out west to Apaches Tribe. I just hope she can put Melitta down long enough to give some lovin' to me before she goes!

Well this is Willow reporting in from the Compound. Reminding you all that summers really aren't fun because the hoomans leave!!!

My Gift Came From Herbie!!!!!

OH WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!

This is so very exciting! My package from Liss, Herbie, Nixon and Fatty came! I sat and waited patiently while pup Ty opened it for me. He was being soooo sloowww!

Ok I was checking out ALL of my

booty here! I couldn't wait to

get into it. Ty HAD to show me

each and every thing. Then

he found a card! Can you believe

it?

Mom said the polite thing to do is to

ALWAYS read the card 1st. So my

boy got to reading...PRONTO!! While

he read....I cheated and made noise with my

new stuffie! He just read louder.

Can you believe all these goodies?

How cool is this???? Herbie got me

a Purple Doggie to match his! I

promise Herbie to take good care

of it. I won't let Pilar near it because

she might make it splode!! We wouldn't

want that to happen.

Ok we are really "eyeing" that pup peroni!

It sure smells good!

JUST OPEN IT!!!!!

Ahhhh no thanks give that one

to Pilar I will take the bag!

Thanks again to Liss, Herbie,

Nixon & Fatty.

Thank you Beasely and Chef this was so much fun all the way around.

We would also like to thank our under appriciated mail LADY! (Who gives us cookies)

This was more fun than going through the McDonalds Drive-Thru!!!!!

Busted....

Well my weekend started out with a good 'bang" with fire works and hot dogs. I had so much fun with my humans on Friday. We ate....a lot. Can you believe we even had s'mores!!! Something was missing in mine and I did a little sleuthing and found out that I didn't get any chocolate!!! What's up with that?? The fire works didn't seem to bother me at all. Mom thinks it was because I was eating too many s'mores to even notice the noise. I told her "Umm I take offence to that mom!!" You would think all I do is eat with a comment like that! Anyway.....

My girl left on Saturday to go "Up North" until the 11th. Yes this is bad because I lost my bed partner. What is a girl to do?? I am so lost without her. I am thinking that we are just going to kick dad out of the bed so I can sleep with mommy until sissy gets home. What do you all think...sound like a good idea???

Saturday we cut down our dead tree. Yep I escaped. I had been telling them I wanted out but they just didn't listen. So HA!!! Now let me explain to all the hoomans out there. I am a rare dale. I don't wander. Regardless my mommy still freaked out when daddy walked in the FRONT door with me.

Mommy here:: While I was watching a movie she escaped. She decided to go and frolic at the neighbors pond, chase birdies, play in the garden and greet daddy at the end of the drive. The neighbors let me know after the fact instead of CALLING me!!!!

So I am a tired girl to say the least! Now grandma if you read this don't freak out too. You are worse than my mommy!! I will have Mango go sit on YOU if you freak out. He is my back up these days. I also think he is a cutie!! Deetz I had read about all your adventures and it inspired me to at least try it. Thanks my friend for inspiration!!! Bolo I couldn't have done it without your weather report....keep them coming good buddy!!! Patches...your escape also inspired my escape, I watched that gate and took action. teehee

This is Willow reporting from the Compound warning all of you not to freak out your moms! Bye for now!!!

Blue, my hooman friend, Tagged me!!!

Our friend Blue said......

Mutterings'.Each week, host, subliminal.lunanina, lists 10 words; you just have to say, what ever pops into your head for each one. I've noted, you don't even, have to keep it to a single response. It's all about having fun with free word association; which supposedly, tells a lot about, what's going on inside ones brain!Mmm!Do you really want to know??? There's no rules; no right or wrong answers!

Mawm and I are going to do this together. This should be fun because we NEVER know what is going to pop out of mawms brain!!! Ready.....set.....go....

LAUNDRY:: A never ending mass of clothes for mom to drudge her way through daily!

RUBBER DUCKY:: I, Willow, have a pink one that I love to drive my hoomans crazy with!

STARBUCKS:: Please no foam or whip. It's just that simple right? Right?

COMPUTERS:: Necessary evil, helpful, slow, brain freeze, yummy cords to chew, updating my bloggie.

BIRDS:: love to chase them, will catch them one day, forget myself and leave the yard to chase them

LIZARDS:: my pups have 4....they never let me near them....wonder why that is?

ICE CREAM CAKE:: yummy, cold, tasty, one piece is never enough....must find more

CAR RIDES:: Windows down, never up! Must go through McDonalds before heading home.

TELEPHONES:: mom, pink, on it way to much!!!!!

SHOPPING:: PetCo, PetSmart, Pet anything I am there. Or McDonalds!

There were actually 2 tags but I just did the one! Booh to my typist!!! She is no fun!! Now we are going to tag pups! However.....we have a problem with putting the names so they go right to their blog. (We hope we can see Beasely's mom when we are out west and she can help us.) Ok there is no other way to say this, they are LEAVING ME BEHIND.!!! Oh I am sorry I am going off on a tangent aren't I. Back to who I am going to tag...let's see. Moco(smooches), Bolo(snuggles) and Blu Loo Loo(slurps). Now if anyone else wants to do this just let me know and we can get you started. This is the beginning of it...I think!!
