Easter Day in Montana

Here we are at the motel in Kalispell, Montana.  

Our peeps brought our covers for the extra bed, so we'd be comfortable.

 This is Hootie with our friend TICA.

 Mom with her good friend Ilse.

 I am "borrowing" TICA's stuffie here.

This was our happy Easter Day.  We hope all our friends had a wonderful Resurrection Sunday too!

More From The Naughty Terrier Club...

 This top photo was just taken Tuesday, after Hootie's escapade. 

The bottom one is from November 2011...One of Mommy's favorites.

She calls it her Hootie-Rug. BOL.

The following is a post my brother, Hootie, made on The Naughty Terrier Club wall on Tuesday, April 15th :

Here I am, Hootie, relaxing under the watchful eye of my Welshie wife, Sally Ann. I was a VERY naughty terrier this afternoon. Went for a ride in the car with my mommy and when we got home she made the mistake of letting me out of the car without my leash. Well, BabyRocketDog and I both made a run for it. Baby was lured into the car with a treat. Not ME baby! I proceeded down the drive and started chasing a bunch of chickens and a rooster that run loose near a neighbor's house. The hens high tailed it away, fast. I am an amazing runner, so the chase was on. I decided the big rooster was game, so closed in on him. We ran through the horse coral, around trees in the woods, through a yard...all the time my old mommy running behind me screaming my name like a banshee. She almost caught me once, falling down. Bwahahaha. Finally I caught the rooster and clamped on to his tail feathers. He screeched and mom grabbed me. The rooster ran away, minus his tail feathers. I was in mommy's arms, all out of breath, but so proud. She kept telling me what a bad boy I was. Sheesh. She also went to the neighbor and was told the rooster was fine, his tail will grow back. So I say, "No harm, No foul/fowl." BOL.

So friends, that shows you what a naughty boy that brother of mine is.  Mommy told me that even though I initially ran off that I was a good girl.  SO, wouldn't you think that because I am so good that I would be rewarded, say, with a party, or parade, or at least a bowl of treats?? Nooooo.  Instead, on Wednesday, the folks took me for a ride (without Hootie) to see Dr. Hall, our veterinarian.  Now don't get me wrong, I love Doc Hall, but it seems whenever I go to see him alone he cuts something off of me.  True to form, he cut a melanoma off my back...The folks didn't even make the appointment for me to get that little bump cut off...It was because I have been limping off & on this past week.  Anywho, looks like I have osteo-arthritis.  Doc gave me some pills to test out.  Mommy said she wants to get me some glucosimine to try too.  They always say I'm a hypochondriac because I like to take pills...hmmmmm.   Okay, here's a pic of my most recent surgery, as I knew you are just dieing to see it!

Daddy has been giving me lots of special care and love, so it was worth it.


Hope you all have a great Passover/Easter holiday week.

Farrr North Idaho Reporting

This Moose was visiting us in March.

 Both of us wanted to go outside to visit with her, but the peeps wouldn't allow it.

 SOooo, since we weren't allowed to "visit" with her, our place is still called:

Bwahahaha.

  

News Flash:   Well, we thought Mrs. Moose was getting old really fast, but found out the white on her back is from something else.  Something really creepy.  Yup.  There was an article in the local paper about this and the accompanying photo looked a LOT like our moose.   Apparently there are some parasites called moose ticks and they can even KILL a moose.  We think that is probably why Mrs. Moose didn't have any calves with her this Spring.  The young calves can have over 50% of their blood drained by those vampire ticks and it's just too much for their young bodies. How sad.  The Billings, Montana Gazette had this story just yesterday & it tells more about the horrible moose tick, just click. Enough about that. Yuk.

Hootie and I, Baby Rocket Dog, have been enjoying our Winter and now Spring here in Farrr North Idaho.  Mommy and Daddy are really busy unpacking boxes and trying to de-clutter the cabin.  Good luck there folks...what a mess.  Can you spell hoarders?!   Bol.  Mom says it might take a good 6 months before things look "normal". 

Sorry we haven't been posting lately.  Google kind of had us confused.  We'll try to get our secretary to be better at keeping us up to date here.  So, time for us to sign off for now.  Hope you are all well and that 2014 is treating you peachy!

How We Helped Daddy in August...

Okay, maybe we weren't that great a help.  But, we had lots of fun watching Daddy prepare a seating area in our little dog park here at Smiling Moose Point.  I, BRD, stayed close by Dad, so he could throw my ball every few minutes for me.  Hootie decided that sitting up near the cabin provided a better view.  The finished project is a nice, flat area for the folks to sit at while watching us romp.  So, what do you think?  Should we keep Dad on staff for future projects?? Bol.

Daddy Got Us A New Car!

 These pics are of Mommy & Hootie with our brand new Subaru Outback.  Subaru has advertised for several months now, that they are especially dog friendly.  Of course, we know this because we had a Subaru Legacy wagon for years before a rude deer ran into us and totaled it and we just loved it.  We are still in Arizona right now, so Daddy purchased our new wheels here.  Now, here's the thing:  Mommy seems to think Dad bought this car for her, while we know that he actually bought it for US.  Of course, we will allow Mommy to chauffeur us around...all the time knowing that it is our car.  You might remember that I actually got my Idaho driver's license in February, so when no one is looking Hootie and I can go joy riding for a spin. Don't tell!! 

Hope you all have a great weekend.  Those of you back East, enjoy the snow for us!  It's in the high 80's here in Phoenix. Yikes!

Zoyo all around!

These are pics from my birthday (plus one) celebration.  We all went to Zoyo and had frozen yogurt.  Hootie and I had vanilla and it was yummers!  When mine was all gone I begged from Daddy.  After pigging out I went home and destroyed a few toys.  It was a grand day!  Thank you to all my friends for the warm barkday wishes. Much appreciated.

A Look at Our Happy St.Patrick's Day!

Daddy, Mommy & the two of us went to the St. Patrick's Day parade today.  It was so much fun.  We met a little Yorkie named Harley.  And there was this poor little girl Basset Hound who had never been out to a parade and she was SOoooo scared.  And you HAVE to watch the video here of the Irish Wolf Hounds...the very end is just adorable. And there was a Dachshund with a silly hat on. And a Border Collie with a tutu.  And the Arizona Basset Club had a bunch of pooches all dressed in green.  And each year there is a cowgirl lady riding the horse of a different color, just like in The Wizard of Oz! Oh my it was a fun time.   

 We met lots of nice hoomans and sweet pooches too, but  towards the end of the parade we were getting bored and were ready to go home. All in all, the Phoenix St. Paddy's Day Parade was a fine experience!                    Smooches from pooches,    Baby Rocket Dog & Hootie

You Will Never Guess Our Wonderful Surprise!!

Today Daddy took us both out to Smelly Dog ( http://www.smellydogaz.com ) to get our hairs washed & nails clipped. Not our favorite thing to do, but we got to be with our dad, so we were happy. When we returned home, to our great amazement and surprise, this is what we saw over the fireplace! Take a good look pooches and poochettes. Yes, an Airedale and a Welsh Terrier were both at the first Christmas!! We were so happy to see that, because we have heard all the cool things that Jesus did when He grew up and how He is waiting for us on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge with all our friends. As Christians, our folks are getting ready to celebrate one of their high holy days and are reflecting on all Jesus has done for them in their lives, and giving thanks. We are just thrilled that we can play a small part in that!!

Our Version of Doga...

Here I am warming up!

Hootie thinks his hind legs need to have more definition. Here he's working to that end.
Not wanting to brag, but I'm thinking here I show my perfect "bow" form.

Phew! That was quite a workout. Now we're ready for some treats. Hey Maaaaameeeee!!

Doing A Lot of This Lately...

We know, it's been way too long since posting here. We've been tired. Yeah, that's our excuse. You can tell by these photos that it is true. Oh, and we did go visit our bestest friend Tica2 in Montana and did a little laying around AND begging from her moma, Ilse. She is from Germany and makes the best food! What have you been up to lately?? We'll be stopping by 'cause we sure miss our buddies. Mom, you're fired as secretary! Oops, nevermind. You're all we have. Oh well.
