We have a new Pal.. He looks a bit like Sunny, but with some differences. (He He He!)

He has lovely long nails and can type pretty well.

We have booked the Pawty Room for Sattiday Night.

It is Ruby Bleu's Barkday this weekend, plus we all need some fun here.

We have ordered Double Steak Burgers, no cheese, hold the buns from the Steak n Shake down the Road

We are hoping Lacie brings the Blender.

We are sure Butcho will help Ruby with the Pick ups.

HOpe to see Ya

Gussie Teka and NOT Sunny


OOOOPS, gotta go.

Gussi

Not a great day

Rest in Peace, Gidget. TV and Movie Star, epitomizing small but mighty, and a sterling representative for the international cuisine served by Taco Bell. She was 15 years old, which makes her older than Aunt Marie, and therefore, deserving our respect and admiration.

And, on an only slightly lighter note, Teka and I are being abandoned again!! We are leaving tomorrow for the Pet Hotel, while Muzzer and Dad enjoy themselves somewhere in KY.

Teka is upset because she is not being allowed to visit Swede William, and I am upset because blogging is difficult without hooman intervention.

So, Teka and I will be reading your blogs, and we may be able to leave brief comments. But we probably will be unable to post again until the hoomans return.

Sigh.

We hope you all have a nice weekend.

updates from Gussie

Greetings Friends....I am sorry that I have been AWOL, but I spent some time in Ioway with my lovely Miss Snickers, and truly enjoyed relaxing with her and her extended family.

While I was away, Teka was in charge of the Back Yard Project, and I must say she did a great job. Tree is in, sod is well established, and the only casualties were muzzer's funny almost-slacks. But they made her look fat anyway.

Me and Teka and Butcho and Miss Snickers are currently in Scotland for the Wedding of the Year, uniting the lovely Rosie and our handsome pal Petey. We hope to see many of you there, go to Petey's blog and others for full coverage. When we return, we will be celebrating Miss Snickers' Barkday on Monday in Ioway! You are all invited to join us for a virtual pawty. If you send me your photos, we will post a collage of good wishes Monday evening, cdt. My pee mail address is: gusdaggerwft at gmail.com.

See My Sissie

Oh, I am going to be in so much trouble for this one.




gotta go

Someone Please Tell me

Why I am in trouble?

I went out this morning and helped

muzzer with watering the new sod.

That is what Gussie asked me to do.

I think I was doing a good job.

At one time, I had the whole sprinkler head thingy

in my tiny, delicate mouth.

And I stayed busy telling muzzer

where she should point the thing and

when she should move the hose and

how long to hold it in one place.

I am telling you. It was exhausting!

So why am I in trouble? I think it has something to do with the way

muzzer's little khaki not-quite-slacks looked.

Pawsonally, I think the design is charming.
And at least it blends with the overall
boring khaki effect of her wardrobe.

Sheesh.

Teka Toy

SHOPPPPPING!

Hey Y'all

I sure am glad that Gussie is up in IOWAY or OHIOWAY

or whatever with Miss Snickers.

That means you and I can get to know one another a lot better!

And I think we will have a great time.

Now, one thing you might not know about me is that I am a great reader.

I read the New Yawker, I read Cosmopawlitan, and I read Real Simple.

Well, I started reading that because I thought it was a story about Gussie,

but it turns out to be quite interesting.

This month, the issue is big on articles about saving money.

And the frontspiece of the mag (page 7) is this rather handsome fellow: Now, I don't know for sure if he is an airedale or a welshie

or a lakie or a wirey guy, but he looks good in soapsuds, no?

Muzzer thinks the article is full of schmuttz.

She tried to groom Gussie one time herself.

In addition to the special knives and stuff,

there was the vet bill (I think she pulled a bit too hard one time)

and the People Dogtor co-pay (Gussie thought she was pullin a little too hard also.)

So her advice on this one is "don't try these directions at home."

Plus, ya know, they are using clippers on this fellow,

and we think he may be a breed that shouldn't be clipped.

But then, what do we know?

So, while Gussie is gone, me and muzzer went to Target together.

She got this bug thingy. She says she will report on it later, but she is hopeful.

The 'skeeters here still think she is a real treat to eat,

and even the soap made out of goat milk is not helpin'.

I think she smells pretty good myself,

but she does attract some strange looks in crowds.

We also got some of these Chewnola thingies.

Muzzer has been bringing home one package at a time for about a month now.

I convinced her we need to buy in bulk.

There are three layers, one with seeds and stuff,

one hard and chewy, and then a yummy middle part.

Me and Gussie both like them lots. I can eat one faster than he can!

And then, what did I see but this lovely green label.

It says "The Waggle" and I thought someone was marketing my Swede Willy Yum.

But it turns out to just be the chewie toy also colored bright green, with holes and stuff. Muzzer puts good food type stuff in the holes, and when me and Gussie tug and toss it, the treats come out. Yumm. Not my Sweetie, but OK by me.

It is bone shaped, and we apologize, we think bloggie losted the picture.

No work on the garden to report. See ya later.

Teka Toy

This, that, and the other things.

My friend Butcho came to pick me up yesterday so I can spend a few days with

my sweet Miss Snickers. Until then, I have put Teka in charge of our project, and

so I turn this posting over to her. Fasten those seatbelts.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...like he is the only one who can handle a

landscaping project. Right? Ok. Here are some pictures of

what Muzzer insists are grapes growing in our back yard.

They are pretty small, and very hard.

So far, even the birds and critters are not eating them.

Please do not order this particular vintage. We do not

have a great track record growing comestibles of any kind.

Hence:

Here is what I have finished on the project to date:

This morning I helped Pedro water the ground before the

BIG truck got here with the sod. Then I made sure

that all the sod pieces fit together at the edges, and ran and ran and ran and ran

making sure they were all pushed firmly into place. Then I helped Dad water them

one more time. We will water tomorrow morning also,

and again every morning and evening until Monday,

when we will check to see if they are growing rootses.

HAH. Just wait til that tree comes on Friday. I am digging a great big

hole, covering it in water and mud, and having a grand old time.

Kisses to Miss Snickers and all the other doggies who need them.

My new Project

Well, I finished that bathroom project about four weeks ago,

and Me and Teka decided to start another one in the back yard.

First, we had my friend Pedro (he shares his sandwiches!) come with some of his friends

They cleared out all the weedy stuff, and a few lonely tomato plants

that reseeded themselves from last year.

Then, they took this big roller thing and flattened it all down.

Teka is checking here to make sure the ground is level.

Tomorrow they are coming with some sod (no jokes please Eric!)
some Bricks for a path, and a nice Acacia tree for the center.
Muzzer thinks that we need a bench or something like that, maybe a
Birdie Bath and some flowers around the bottom of the tree.

She thinks it will be a "Meditation Area."

AHEM.

Cheers
Gussie n Teka

The problem with travelling by car.

My friends....here we have two different views of the same back seat.Note the relaxed attitude. The sweet, somnolent sleep of the innocent.

The just and virtuous at rest. Now see where her feet are!

I really want to be an only dog again.

Bummer, Bummer, Bummer

Oh Boy!

I am pretty glad to be home safe, but otherwise ... it is a bummer of a day.

My Sweet Miss Snickers has had another visit from the bad old Seizure Monster.

My Sweet Asta says she is no longer going to bring joy to my heart and a smile to my face...she is not going to blog anymore!

So, you can all see what I think about that.
