Just Me, Hootie!!

Well, today it is just me with Mommy and Dad. Mommy got up early and drove Baby Rocket Dog to see Dr. Hall, our vet. She's having some sort of surgery on her bottom canine tooth. hmmm, doesn't sound like fun to me, but she was all happy and wiggly when she ran out to the car. Last report is that they put her in some foreign kennel and she was not happy about that.

Since I've taken over the blog for today thought you might enjoy a few photos of MOI in my winter scarf. The folks are taking me for a trip to the Bread Basket Bakery where they get yummy stuff. Yup, I'm one lucky dog today. Peace and quiet AND pastry!!

Smooches,

Hootieboy

Merry Christmas Friends!!

To all our buddies out there in the blogisphere we hope you have a blessed Christmas! Mommy and Papa will go to evening church and when they get home around midnight said they will give us a special treat. We can hardly wait! We have been practicing sleeping like little angels so that Santa will leave us something good. Our stocking is very big so maybe a cow leg bone??

Love you all,

Baby Rocket Dog and Hootie

You'll Never Guess Where We Are!! Chanukah. AND Post 1-0-0. Yippee!!

The above photo is us in the front lobby of our hotel. Take a good look at the sign below. It says PETS STAY COMFORTABLE. This is where we are staying right now. The Red Lion Inn in Bellevue, Washington. Our mommy is very happy that there is such a nice hotel that welcomes us with open arms. She thinks the bed & pillows are extra comfy too. Thanks Red Lion.

This is Hootie telling Daddy that it's time to wake up. We have a long day ahead of us.

Here I am checking out Mom's purse. See the little blue bone to the right---that's for picking up poo when we go out for a walk. Cute, huh?
Here we are in our kennels. Not bad, 'cuz we have nice pillows in them and they are comfortable.

This is the thermometer that will go to the winning pooch. We have one just like it and think it's very cool because it has the temperature measured in degrees Fahrenheit AND in dogs!! Our folks purchased them at a wonderful store in Polson, Montana called Three Dog Down. Not many places have the consideration to measure the weather in dogs like they do. BOL. (This place has terrific down items...check it out!)

We couldn't tell you this before, but yesterday we picked Daddy up at the airport in Spokane and from there we drove across Washington State to Seattle!! Up until we picked Dad up we got to sit in the car seats, but after we had to stay in our kennels. It was a long trip (about 9 hours in all) but well worth it. We got to see our hooman sissy, Jessica and her husband, David! We were a birthday surprise for Jessica this morning. She had NO idea when her hubby took her out to breakfast at JoeBar that we would be there waiting for her. (Guess who forgot to bring her camera...oh mother.) Tonight the folks are going over to a big party for Jessica with the theme "Back In Black". Something to do with electricity, AC/DC. We get to stay at the hotel in our kennels. Oh goody.

Update: This pic is of Jessica changing the music at her party. She wears feathers in her hair!!

Now, for those of you of the Jewish faith we want to wish you a very happy 1st day of Chanukah. Last night was the first night to light a candle on the menorah, the 25th of Kislev on the Jewish calendar. It's a real festival of light!!

AND last but not least, this is our 100th post. When we get back to farrr North Idaho we will draw the winners of the 1-0-0 Give Away. You still have a chance to win if you leave a comment after this post. The polls don't close 'til Tuesday morning.

To wrap this all up, we want to wish our hooman sister, Jessica, a very Happy 29th Birthday! Mommy will take pics tonight and post them on her blog soon.

We love all you good buddies.

Getting Our Hairs Cut and This Is Post #99!!

Okey dokey, today Hootie and I are getting our hairs cut by our favorite groomer, Jody, at the Pend Oreille Vet Clinic. (That's here picture here!!) Mommy is hoping that she won't need to have any grooming done while in Phoenix, as she has such bad experiences there. Anywhooo, Jody is gonna cut our "skirts" a bit shorter to hopefully last us a while longer. (Isn't it funny that Hootie has a skirt??hehe.) We'll still go to the Smelly Dog for our bathes while in Arizona, 'cuz those guys are super nice too. Mom took a few "before" pics of our shagginess last night but failed to xfer them to her computer...so, when she gets the "after" shots taken we'll post all for our post #1-0-0. THen, we'll write up the names to enter in our 1-0-0 Post Give Away and post 101 will announce the winners!! Oh we're so excited. Besides some cool toys there is also a special prize for the #1 Hooman winner. (Here's a hint: What measures temperature?) Photo of said prize will show on post 1-0-0 too--- you'll all want to win this one!!
Later Cats 'n Jammers!

Smooches, Baby Rocket Dog

ELVES!!!

Imagine our horror when we read our mommy's most recent blog and found out that our secret has been discovered. Well, perhaps we should start from the beginning. These are the photos and the following are the words taken from her blog.

(Yes dear readers, this is Hootie SLEEPING with an elf!! Hahahaha. I slipped this pic in!BRD)

This is the excerp from her blog:

Elves.

Yup, farrr North Idaho is the hideout for a band of Elves. Apparently one of these Elves broke into our cabin while I was asleep and talked the dogs into having a party. They chewed on a few Christmas CD covers, ate a couple cubes of butter, drank a few brewskies, noshed on some of my firewood and generally messed up the cabin. These photos taken by a hidden camera are the only proof that this behaviour was encouraged by an Elf! Here we thought the pooches thought up this mischief all by themselves---the truth is it was Elves!!

Well friends, there ya have it. That's what she posted...Not sure if our Elf buddies will ever come back to visit us since the jigs up, but maybe we are somehow vindicated??

This 'N That

Well, our momma's friend John gave his pooches a bath in WALES the other day and that gave her the reminder that it was time for our monthly bath. Phooey!! Thanks alot John. Now we smell all stinky like "Oh My Dog" cologne. Tried to rub it off on the sofa, the bed, the rugs, just about everywhere, but we still have that just bathed odor. UGH!! The photos above were taken of us playing tug-of-war before the dreaded bath time. It's one of our favorite games (next to el destructo).

On another note, we've started addressing and mailing out our Christmas cards. We would love to mail them to all our buddies but don't have everyone's address. We hope those of you who get them put them in an esteemed place in your home. We think they're suitable for framing!

Mom's best buddy from Tucson has suggested that she have us post a daily "What Did The Dogs Eat Today?" post. Very funny C2---Just 'cuz I got into Mommy's purse and got caught red pawed with a credit card in my mouth---And just 'cuz Hootie devoured one glazed and 1/2 cream filled donut in the back of the car---And just 'cuz I ripped apart Mommy's favorite alpaca pillow...well you get the picture. No can do C2. We don't get into something every day of our life!! Sheesh, you'd think we were terriers or something. Ooops, guess we are!

Approaching the 1-0-0 post friends (this is 97)! Happy Tuesday to ya!

Baby Rocket Dog and Hootie

PS-Pleeeeeeeeze somebody give me a kiss under the mistletoe (on sidebar). I'm getting a complex!! Hootie
