Friday Frolic

It was warm and windy last night.

Mom brought her coffee out to the deck & we entertained her.

Do woo do that for your humans, too?

First we did some of this:

Close-up of Jack's "Grrrrr" face

So I gave him my Devil-eye:

Then we did some of this:

Close-up of Jack's "Mr. Fangs means business Grrr face"

(mom says she'll recycle this one for Halloween)

Next, he ran around & around & around.... leaping on & off the deck...

Then he got silly & started telling jokes

...he really cracks me up sometimes!

And in spite of our games, (even the ones where we slam into mom)

she even managed to drink her coffee!

On the way in, she mumbled something about "A tired husky is a good husky" but we have no idea what she was talking about.

Have a fun-filled weekend!

Monday's View from the Moo

Good Moo-rning everyone!

This week's View from the Moo is brought to woo from behind bars!

Yup, last week when we showed off the new hallway, some pup asked why we would need the gate. Voila! A reason presented itself this week. The furnace guy came to check the furnace and had to carry stuff in & out of the house, and mom said "You two, out!" This was as far "in" as we were allowed. We had a good view of him going in & out, he had some cool stuff!

OK Jack, enough snoopervising, lets break outta this joint!

We snuck out the back while no one was looking....

Jack high-tailed it across the yard....

...he streaked thru the hidey-hole and zoomed behind the bushes

He zipped out and circled around back towards the deck....

(while I casually inspected the fence line)

... and then casually inspected the bush line....

(look at my cute curly Moo-tail!)

...and we ended up with a rousing game of smack-down on the deck followed by more Jack-zoomies!

...and that's this week's view from the Moo!

Toodle-woo!

Miss Moo

All neat & tidy!

Ha-woo, we posted a while ago about our peeps remodeling the entry hall, and now its done-done! Since the hallway is where most of our stuff is kept, we thought we'd show woo around-

Looking towards the new front door:

Stars & stripes theme mirror & coat rack:

(we'll get back to the bench in a moment)

Looking toward the back door - our dog-door to our fenced back yard,

a guard-gate so we don't escape when the doors have to be open,

mom's painting & a cool star nite-light:

Now, about that bench...

its a good place for taking off boots & setting packages down...

but it also hold a secret stash....

....all our stuff! Leashes, harnesses, tie-outs, poop bags, dog bowls all furry neatly tucked away in the drawers & cubbies. The new bins on either side hold our bags of food* and paw-drying towels & a few extra rugs to put down when its muddy. Mom stashes her mud-boots under there in the winter, too.

Hey, mom... we saw the food bins opened...

does that mean we get early dinner?

No??? Oh well, I guess we can go outside & play bitey-face chase till its dinnertime!

A-roos to yous!

*Its best to keep pet food in the bag it comes in, rather than dumping it into a storage bin. The bags are treated to keep the food from going rancid. She found this out talking to a pet food manufacturer- sharing it cause many people don't realize that its important to keep the food in the original bag.

Wed Woos: A Spidey Story

An itsy bitsy spider lives in the cellar. We'd never seen her, but we call her "Henrietta" and she's very good at catching bugs. But mom got quite a shock yesterday - she went down to do laundry & noticed a very BIG spider hanging there! She thought - wow, so that's what she looks like!

Then she noticed a much smaller spider approaching .....

And a closer look revealed that the very BIG spider was in fact, Henrietta's dinner! Woozers!
Mom checked in on her a couple hours later & Henrietta had pulled that big ole' spider up to the top of the storage bin - a good 15" straight up! That thing was 4x her size! I wonder if she's a "Working Class" spider? Go, Henrietta!

Mom says she can stay in the basement & catch bugs as long as she stays right there on the storage bin. Where we can see her. Don't want no spidey-surprises!

a-roos to yous,

Jack a-roo reporting

PS - I did poke my nose into her web once, it was like having cotton-candy on my snooter! Fortunately, I really am too big for her to snack on! woo!

Monday's View from the Moo: Hello Dad!

I love to play with my dad! Every night when he comes home from work, I invite him to play. Mom caught a fraction of us being silly, although she missed my Moo-spins.... which means she'll just have to keep trying to capture me at my best, since I don't do "spins" on command, ha-roo roo roo! But I hope you enjoy seeing me say "hello" to my daddy-o!

I want to remind everyone that we're doing "Show us your Treat Jar" again this year. The best part is that it reminds us all to take a box of treats to our local shelter - because :

Every furkid deserves a treat!"

(Be sure to send us a note so we can link to woo!)

And that's this week's view from the Moo!

Toodle, woo,

Miss Moo!

Show Us Your Treat Jar, 2011!

Ha-woo furkids of all kinds! Hey, its almost time for the humans to do their crazy Trick-or-Treat thing... you know, when all kinds of mini-bipeds come to your house dressed in funny clothes and you pawrents pass out goodies. Last year, we got to thinking about treats and thought it would be fun to post a pictures of our treat jars or bags of favorite treats, (preferably with woo in it too!) It was such a good idea, we're repeating it this year!

We also think its a great time to share a box of treats with furkids who are "in between" families, living in your local shelter. Won't woo please join us?

Please drop us a comment a couple days ahead so we can put links to all the cool treat posts! Here is a badge for your bloggie, so woo can help spread the word- (or the woo, or the mew, whatever woo prefer).

So remember - Post a pic of your treats, and give a box of treats to your local shelter.... because every furkid deserves a treat!

Wednesday Woos

Ha-woos! Miss Moo here! Ya'll remember that great scene in Eight Below where those clever Sibes were hunting birds?

Now I've overheard some humans talk about how that scene must have been pure Hollywood, cause dogs couldn't catch seagulls like that.....

Well!

Just

take

a

look

at

what

my

brofur

Jack

did!

Woo-hoo!!!! He got one of those silly seagulls right here in our fully fenced in yard! Snatched it right out of the air!** Our peeps sure were impressed! We've caught birds on the wing before - little birds like blue jays, sparrows, black birds, but never one this big!

As usual, Jack was not allowed to keep his prize and since "he's such a good boy" he didn't even put up a fuss when the peeps took his gull away. If it were my catch, I'd have stashed it way in back of the bushes & snacked on it later, but... no one asked me).

I'm keeping this picture handy, just in case I hear any more humans who question the hunting skills of Siberians!

Wooooooo-ooooooo!!!

Way to go, Jack a-roo!

Monday's View from the Moo

Good Moorning everyone,
This week's View from the Moo brought to woo from Gen. Prescott's "Headquarters" ...

Hmmmm, which way should we go first?

Lets sniff by the building.... its called Gen. Prescott's Headquarters, but actually he was a British General imprisoned here by the Colonists during the Revolutionary War.

Woo- what a good idea - instead of gravel, they're using quahog shells - how furry colonial of them! (For non-NewEnglanders, a quahog is a big clam. Lots of competition between restaurants for the best stuffed quahogs! )

Pretty red bush in the old fashioned herb garden!

We stopped by to woo at the quackers.... they did not, however wish to swim over and play.

Then we walked over to the other side of the park and checked out this cool garden...Everything was so pretty - mom liked the hand-built trellises a lot...
This makes for a nice view of the back of the windmill.
Mom took lots of pictures of us, but mostly of our backs. We were't too cooperative, but finally, we relented and gave her our smiley faces... I mean, she did spend all afternoon with us!

And that wraps up this weeks View from the Moo!

Toodle-woo!

Miss Moo

Saturday stroll...

Hey Jack, look- that's Goat Island way off in the distance...

I wonder if there are still any goats there?

Mmmmm, probably just a few cranky Old Goats, ha-roo roo,

(that's a human joke, Moo!)

Mom parked by this deck - doesn't it look like it would be a blast to do zoomies here? Unfortunately, our leashes stayed firmly attached, no zoomies.

Looking back as we passed the deck. I wonder how the fishing is today?

Woozers, check out the view from this backyard!

Mom says they have a front-row seat for sunsets.

The fall gardens are lovely:

Pretty doorway, all spiced up for fall:

We walked along the bay down to the park by the Goat Island bridge -

woo can see the Newport Harbor Light from here.

On the way back, mom stopped to admire this arbor.

We were admiring the squirrels in the trees.

Mom's says this is her favorite house in Newport.

Their backyard is right on the bay, too.

We were two pooped pups on the ride home...

Mom says "that's the point" but we don't

have any idea what she means.

Hope you go for an adventure in your neighborhood this weekend too.

a-roos to yous, and toodle-woo!
