OMG... What's That Smell?!?

Holy smells, Batman!

Who let the skunk into the house?!?

Grab your aerosol can, gas masks and whatever else it may take and step into our world.

Our morning started very early with the sounds of urpa-burpa's. What's an urpa-burpa you ask? That's the sound that is made right before Tuck explodes out whatever was in his belly that he shouldn't have eaten. Our mom shot out of bed at the sound of the first urpa, grabbed Tuck and ran to the sliding door onto the deck. Too late. Tuck spewed something bluish-green onto the floor. The fun didn't end there. Throughout the morning, he urpa-burpa'd three more times. Geesh! How much gunk can one Pekingese have in his belly?
(We forgot how often Tuck is camped out by the food bowl. He's a big eater!)

Apparently, the urpa's were the calm before the storm because then came the stench!

These are not your ordinary little dog farts - these are big boy, clear-the-room farts! How can such a little dog produce these tear-inducing, cover-your-nose, turn-the-fan-on farts?

The scariest part of all of this is that he is happy. Tuck is acting like Tuck - running around like a ninny, playing and having fun. Apparently, getting the unidentifiable blue/green urpa-burpa out of his belly was all it took to put him back on the track to crazytown where he loves to reside.

The rest of us are left here to suffer. Thanks Tuck - we owe you one!

So much going on

Tinkerbell here.

Let me start by apologizing for making a later than normal post today. We have so much going on in our world right now. We live in the midwest (Ohio to be exact) and have been hit with a 3-punch winter storm that began on Tuesday. We got a bunch of snow. Then we had an ice storm. Then we got a bunch of snow again. It's really pretty outside to look at but poor Oscar keeps getting buried because it is deeper than he is tall. He has become a deck pooper and pee-er. Tuck and I think it's great! We run around burying our nose in the snow. It was a little hard to go to the potty when the ice storm hit though.

Our kids have been home from school since Tuesday. The oldest has a major case of cabin fever going on. Remember, she's 15, in high school, and said something about dieing if she doesn't go back to school tomorrow and see all her friends. Thank goodness for this thing called Facebook. It seems to be the only bright spot (besides us, of course) in her life. She has decided that her 5 year old sister is a necessary evil. We think she's great. She plays with us a lot and gives us tons of hugs.

Our mom had to brave the outside and deal with the idiots out there... those are her words, not ours. We don't even know what an idiot is... to get to work yesterday only to be sent home early because of the conditions outside. We are super happy because we like it when our family is around all the time. We've taken a bunch of pictures and will post them later.

First, we have other business to take care of. A special thank-you goes out to our two favorite basset hounds Martha and Bailey. We think they are really neat and would love to go on adventures with them. They even have a fun car to ride in that is named after them. Too cool! Anyway, they sent us a lovely award. The award represents the blogs that truly love someone or something. It´s a ladybug and they are known for giving us luck whenever we see one. The ladybug reminds us of warmer weather to come and we think we are truly, three lucky dogs. We like to reflect on how lucky we are every Friday too. If you've never visited their blog before, please take a moment to today. They are wonderful!

Thank you ladies for this wonderful award.

(UPDATE: apparently the award linked to a very bad site so we took it off. But we appreciate the thought. That is what matters.)

We haven't decided to who to send it to yet. Mom says she'll get around to that... soon. She mentioned something about a lot of irons in a fire. We don't even have a fireplace so I have no idea what she is talking about.

Well, we're off to enjoy the snow or what many refer to here in the Cincinnati area as "white death". Wishing you a wonderful, fun-filled day!

An Unlikely Friendship

This video has been making its rounds but we wanted to post it for all our friends who are not dog bloggers. We thought they would enjoy seeing it also. What a great friendship these two unlikely characters have forged. We feel inspired and want to run wild with the elephants! Sometimes we sound like a herd of elephants when we run around the house. We don't think our dad wants elephants in the back yard though. Bummer!


Enjoy the video!

Pet's Ten Commandments

PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS.........

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3 . Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.

4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment.
You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words,
I do understand your voice when speaking to me.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.

10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me pl ease. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.

Take a moment today to thank God for your pets.
Enjoy and take good care of them.

Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without God's critters
