| Bigbird Growliebeast! |
[Oct. 5th, 2009|10:09 am] |
Houdini: Something really different happened here last evening.
Smudge: Whirlywing Bigbird Growliebeast swooped down on MsPeggy's place.
Squrrl: Yeah, and before that happened Boss came running out of teh House and got into Sydney SubaruOutback Growliebeast and made Sydney go fast down the road and went next door to MsPeggy's place.
Houdini: I wanted to go with him but he said I had to help MrsBoss at teh House.
Smudge: Then the FlashyLights Growliebeasts came to MsPeggy's.
Squrrl: And Boss opened the gate and let them in, and MsPeggy and Pappa Mike rounded up all MsPeggy's cows and put them in the corral. And then more FlashyLights Growliebeasts came. Lots of them!
Smudge: Well, four, anyway.
Squrrl: Then Whirlywing Bigbird swooped down and stopped there! Our horses were all WTF? MrsBoss told them it's OK and gave them their dinner and they were all OK OM NOM NOM.
Houdini: Then some people moved someone from one of the Flashylights Growliebeasts to Whirlywing, and then Whirlywing leapt straight up into the air and swooped off!
Squrrl: Then Boss opened the gate again, and all the Flashylights Growliebeasts ran away really fast yelling MOVE! GET OUT OF OUR WAY! MAKE A HOLE! And Boss closed MsPeggy's gate, and MsPeggy and Pappa Mike let all the cows back out of corral and like it got all quiet.
Smudge: Then Boss brought us our dinner. He said it was all right because no body died. |

| Getting Cool |
[Oct. 2nd, 2009|10:49 am] |
Houdini: It's getting cooler. Still hot in the daytime a lot. Cooler at night now though. Feels Good!
Smudge: Heh. Listen to Indoor Dog there. ::WagsTail::
Houdini: Well it is getting cooler!
Squrrl: And GoldenBoy Bull went home to MsPeggy's, and like Isaac Bull wanted to go too because MsPeggy's Cows are smelling all O HAI BULLS and all, but GoldenBoy said NO. MAI COWS. So Isaac came home.
Houdini: MrsBoss says he's going back though. GoldenBoy got shipped off somewhere else to make more cows.
Smudge: LOL! ::WagsTail:: So NoFear MorganHorse came over here!
Squrrl: Yeah! Like, cause the wind is coming from Sunrise, and NoFear lives towards Sunset, and Sage tehHorse and Stormy tehHorse both are all like smelling O HAI STALLIONS! So NoFear was all O HAI MARES LET ME SHOW YOU MINE!!!
Houdini: And MsPeggy came over and she and MrsBoss made NoFear go home.
Smudge: Now he's locked up in the corral. Poor guy. |

Houdini: It is BossGoesAwayDays again. This was a nice BossStaysHomeDays. We got a ride in Sydney SubaruOutback to take recycle stuff to the dump. The place for Homeless Dogs is there, and no homeless dogs were in the place.
Squrrl: And yesterday, we played HOSE and I got all fierce and scary with the game! And Boss gave me a bath too, but it's OK because it was part of the Hose game.
Smudge: I got a DirtyYardBird raider.
Squrrl: Yeah, and like Smudge killed that raider, too. All Dead!
Houdini: Now it's BossGoesAwayDays.

| Talk Like a What? |
[Sep. 20th, 2009|08:40 am] |
Smudge: Was it?
Houdini: Sure was. You think we should tell him?
Smudge: ::BigWagginTail:: Yup.
Houdini/Smudge: SQURRL! WAKE UP SQURRL!
Squrrl: Huh? What? ALERT! COWS! Wait... no cows. What?
Houdini/Smudge: ::BigWagginTails::BouncyBouncing::::BigWagginTails::
Squrrl: What? So I was sleeping. The cows kept bothering MrsBoss' indigo harvest all night.
Houdini/Smudge: ::BigWagginTails::BouncyBouncing::::BigWagginTails::
Squrrl: What's so funny? Why are you laughing!
Houdini: Talk Like a Pirate Day, Squrrl.
Squrrl: OH! Avast, yaarrrr! Dog the hatches!
Smudge: Yesterday, Bro.
Squrrl: O_o
Houdini/Smudge: ::BigWagginTails::BouncyBouncing::::BigWagginTails::
Squrrl: I missed it? I have to wait to next year?
Smudge: Yup.
Squrrl: OHNOEESSSSSSSS! NOOOOEEEOOOEEEESSSSSS! |

| I Got a Scent Trail! |
[Sep. 10th, 2009|07:39 am] |
| [ | Tags | | | fun | ] |
| [ | mood |
| |  happy | ] |
A couple days ago I was nosing around in Boss' LJ Place, and one of his friends did a scent-trail game. So I followed the trail, and dianavilliers gave me 5 Words that make her think of me. Now I'm supposed to tell you about those words.
Wags are one of the most important bits of speaking Dog there is. Even those dogs who have very short tails or lost their tails in an accident or something, they still speak with their tails. Wags tell you if we are happy, or concerned, listening to you or ignoring you, if we're scared or telling you you're in our pack territory. Sometimes I'm amazed Humans can speak so well without tails and Wags!
Outside is where lots of things happen. The Cows and Goats live outside (though the Goats do have a barn roof, because Goats don't like getting wet), and outside is where we make rounds, check the Fencelines, and where I lived most of my life. Smudge is very happy Outside; he's been Inside a few times, but he likes Outside. Squrrl likes both.
Inside is really Inside House. I mean, each of us have an inside to our dens that Boss and MrsBoss got for us, and there's inside the Growliebeasts too. And I often go spend Inside Studio time with Boss. Inside is cooler or warmer than Outside opposite the time of year. When it is hot Outside it's cool Inside. So Inside is more comfortable than Outside sometimes. Also, Inside is one of the Pack Positions. Mama Mudge was Inside Dog because she was Mama and the oldest. When she died, Boss and MrsBoss left the Inside Dog position open for a while in her memory. Now I'm the Inside Dog. I told Boss it was me because he and I are Human and Dog and I'm supposed to be with him. Besides, the Sky Grumblers lose my scent when I'm Inside. Sky Grumblers are scary but don't have a good sense of smell.
Kitteh are strange. Some of them are members of our Pack, and some are sort of. They're very hard to herd, too. The Kittehs of Apocalypse were wee kittens when a huge storm came and rained on us for a long time. Mary Kitteh Queen used to live with MrsBoss' mama. She came to live with us when MrsBoss' mama died. Greyling is sort of part of our pack, and sort of not because he comes and goes. Greyling likes us (my Bros and I) and sort of likes Boss and MrsBoss. But he doesn't like to touch Humans. Kittehs are good at catching mice and rats that want to eat the goat and cow feed. Three Kitteh is very good at that, because he is a dark kitteh and hides really well at night. He's my buddy, and we Stroppy a lot.
Herd. Hmm. Herd is what I do! Everything is better when it is all brought together. I help Boss herd everything. Some things are more interesting to herd. Some things are boring, but they need to be herded anyway. Even Boss' socks need to be herded on his feet!
So now the rules of this Scent Trail game are, Say "Words!" in a comment and I'll give you five words that make me think of you. Tell me about them in a mark in your journal. |

| It's BossStaysHomeDays!!! Early!!! |
[Aug. 27th, 2009|07:53 am] |
Houdini: BossStaysHomeDays started early this week!
Squrrl: And Boss' litter-mate is here! With EmEmCeeEmRet! And CJ! And, like, they came in Jack Winnibago Growliebeast and he's HUGE!
Smudge: Bigger'n any of our growliebeasts, anyway.
Houdini: It's Boss' sister. She's really nice. And they've got CJ. CJ is a Lhasa Apso. He's a little young still, and fun.
Smudge: I like EmEmCeeEmRet, he smells good. He smells of Border Collie.
Squrrl: Except, CJ doesn't want to snuffle noses with me. He keeps running away! I'm all O Hai and come up to him and is all Running Away! But he'll go up to Houdini.
Houdini: It's funny, Squrrl! He wants to know how there got to be two of us! He doesn't even know about Smudge yet!
Smudge: And Louis CajunOtterz is with them too! Haven't seen Louis in a long time. |

| Sky Grumbler Season |
[Aug. 20th, 2009|08:58 am] |
| [ | mood |
| | lonely | ] |
We are in the Sky Grumbler season now. Every day the come hunting me. Sometimes I hide in my dens. Right now, I have two, the old round tunnel den and the newer round cave den. When they get real close, though, MrsBoss has been bringing me into teh House, and mostly they lose my scent then and wander off a bit. Then when Boss gets back from Hospital we make rounds to check on the Cows, and then I go back into House with Boss.
I like being the Indoor Dog. I get to spend more time with Boss this way.
Boss keeps me with him on BossStaysHomeDays too, mostly, except for another reason I don't like Sky Grumbler season. Boss says it is too hot to go for rides in Sydney SubaruOutback Growliebeast then. It isn't, really, because Sydney can blow cool air inside. But Boss says when we would stop places, he can't leave me inside because then Sydney doesn't blow cool air and it would be too hot.
It is hot. We stay in the shade mostly when it's this hot. That's another reason I like being Indoor Dog, because it's cool inside teh House.
Boss is gone for BossGoesAwayDays just now. He said he'll be back the usual time. I'll wait for him by the Little Rain Room inside House. I wish he were here now. That Hospital place needs to let Boss be. Don't they know it's important for Boss to be here, so his Bubble of Kewl will help me hide my scent from the Sky Grumblers? |

| BossStaysHomeDay! |
[Aug. 16th, 2009|06:01 am] |
It's a nice BossStaysHomeDay, even if some of it is... confusing, a little.
The Sky Grumblers are out hunting me nearly every day, and a couple days a go it was really bad. MrsBoss lets me come into House when the Sky Grumblers start looking for me before Boss got home on BossGoesAwayDays. And that's nearly as good as being with Boss.
Yesterday, after we did all the Morning Rounds (Squrrl: And like Houdini and I told All the Cows to Back Away From The Fence so Boss could put down the feed for them. H: Yeah, Squrrl, that was fun! Golden Boy Bull was staring back at me until you came up. Squrrl: Yeah, and then he was, like, all Whoa! There's two of 'em!) anyway, after Rounds Boss and I herded some things over to Studio. I like going to Studio with Boss, it feels like our place. But Boss was only herding things onto shelves, because MrsBoss is making us herd things around inside Big House and into bags and out into the trash cans, or into holding places.
Then Boss made the Foofergun Beast roar. It's not bad when Boss has it under control, but it is noisy and a bit... kind of fierce sounding. Boss made it wave its snout at the ceiling a lot, and I didn't know that the Foofergun Beast is smaller than I though. It's got its own Growliebeast, the Foofergun Growliebeast. It's not as fierce sounding when it's not riding the Growliebeast. Then Boss made it wave its snout at the floor in the Bath Room. But after that Foofergun Beast got back on its growliebeast to ride around in the Sitting Room, and in the Sleeping Room too.
After all that, we went out for Evening Rounds. Oh, I forgot! Boss gave his Hat a bath! He put it in the big Soaker Tub for a while and then it splashed around some, and then he gave it a bath. It's been hanging in the Rain Room all night, dripping.
Oh, yeah, and I got to stay Inside during the night! I like being the Indoor Dog, and nobody has been the Indoor Dog since Momma Mudge died. |

| Great BossStaysHomeDays |

Squrrl: It's been hot, though. Real hot. Mostly we're like all flop in teh shade.
Smudge: Quiet.
Houdini: And nice, even though Boss and MrsBoss did go somewhere yesterday in Sydney SubaruOutback growliebeast and didn't take me with them. Boss was looking for something in Sydney today, and I told him I Need A Ride. But we didn't go anywhere.
Squrrl: Boss' sister and her mate are coming to visit! And they are bringing another dog with them. Boss says he's little, and we need to be nice to him.
Smudge: Will be, if he stays away from my DirtyYardBirds. |

It is start of BossStaysHomeDays now. You need to come home. Leave that Hospital place, OK? I'm waiting for you. |

| It Is Hot |
[Jun. 21st, 2009|02:38 pm] |
Yesterday about the best BossStaysHomeDays evar for quite a bit. We headed out early to make rounds because Boss said it would be hot hot hot and he wanted to get done before it got there. MrsBoss is doing something SCA over at Horserena, so even though she's coming home to sleep she needed to leave early, and BossStaysHomeDays rounds is just Boss and I.
We walked real slow. It is hot, and my tongue went into overtime for cooling. Boss squatted down and took breaks in the shade every time we could, walking out to feed the Horses after feeding Goats, and then when coming back. Then, Boss opened up Sydney SubaruOutback and I jumped in, but we didn't go anywhere right away. Boss just told Syndey to lay down his back seat is all, and moved some things that live in the Wayback forward. But then, we went to get the Mail and to get Goat and Cow feed!
We took our time unloading the feed, because it was now hot hot. I stayed in the shade of Sydney. Boss couldn't, because he unloaded the feed an herded it into the barrels. When that was done, we fed the hogs. Then we went to the Big House for a while. I took a nap. It's nice in the Big House just now, even when it's hot hot hot outside it's cool inside.
In the evening Boss didn't take me to make rounds, and I felt a little concerned. Only, he fed us (my Bros & I) before going to feed Cows, and when he came back from that he told me to LoadUp in Sydney SubaruOutback again. We stopped to feed Horses on the way out, and we went to join MrsBoss at Horserena!
There were a big herd of humans there, and another dog named Freyja. She is kind of young and bouncy, but nice enough. Her humans took her over to their camp and she stayed there while they all had dinner, and I got to be with Boss. He shared! We had DirtyYardBird, and Cow, and it was om nom nom.
Then the humans stated yelling 'FoodFight' and throwing food around. I kept jumping up and catching the food they threw at Boss, and cleaning up around him of the stuff that missed.
When it started getting dark, Boss and I left to come back to Ranch. I slept really good last night.
Today it's Hot Hot Hot again. I couldn't go with Boss to the washerplace where lots of dogs mark around outside because it's so hot. Boss says I can't go inside with him, and he won't leave me alone in Sydney when it's this hot out. |

| Fooling Big Thunder |
[Jun. 19th, 2009|08:57 am] |
Boss is bringing me into Big House in the evening when Big Thunder comes hunting me. Then Big Thunder looses my scent and goes away.
Ms. slave2tehtink says I should get the position of Indoor Dog, and I agree. One of the benefits of Indoor Dog is cleaning off the dinner plates before they go into the Washerbox. I got pizzabones yesterday. But I shared with my brothers, too. |

| Not Good |
[Jun. 13th, 2009|02:53 pm] |
Houdini: MrsBoss went off to her SCA this morning. While it was still dark, but only just.
Smudge: Bit after that, Boss came out. We thought for Morning Rounds.
Squrrl: Only, like, Boss was carrying his stick that makes the clacky-clacky noise and then the Big Thunder.
Houdini: I didn't want to go. But we had to.
Squrrl: Boss was really, really concerned about something he said he heard on the talking box, and kept us all gathered together. Not like other times when we make rounds, when we can go herd in the goats or cows.
Smudge: And he had a big strap over his shoulder, the one that has lots of extra little sticks to put into the big stick.
Houdini: Something didn't smell right. Bad scent coming from over where the cows live. Boss wasn't happy, and we got concerned too because two of the cows have brand new calves.
Smudge: The cows sounded funny, too. Definitely something wrong.
Squrrl: And like, when we got there, they weren't scared or alert, and they wouldn't jump away from us. They just kept like shuffling towards us and wouldn't turn when we tried to herd them back.
Smudge: And Boss called us back. 'Leave It! Leave It! Hayup!'
Houdini: Hayup is the come here right now word. So I did. Except the cows broke down the fence. They just shuffled right through it.
Smudge: I turned to bite one and Boss yelled loud, 'No!' Then he raised the stick and it made the Big Thunder and the cows head exploded.
Squrrl: And we all ran back behind Boss, except Houdini was going back to the House.
Smudge: And the other cows kept coming, and coming, and broke down the fence.
Squrrl: And Boss pointed the stick at all of them, and made the Big Thunder. And like, he had to put those little sticks back in and we kept moving around in circles around the cows, and they kept turning and following us, and making those funny noises. Not the usual ones. Different. Kind of low and moan-ee like.
Smudge: Every time Boss pointed the stick at a cow, and made Thunder, it's head exploded.
Houdini: Then we all went back to the Big House. And Boss tried calling MrsBoss on the little talking box, only she didn't answer. Then some of the neighbors came by, and they were walking like the cows...
Smudge: Boss pointed the stick at them, but they wouldn't stop. Then the stick made the Big Thunder and their head exploded.
Squrrl: They all fell down then, and didn't move any more. And the buzzards came by, and snuffled at them, and then the buzzards left them there. Like, the buzzards wouldn't touch them!
Houdini: Somethings wrong. Somethings big wrong. I'm under Boss' desk.
Smudge: Boss says he's glad he stopped at the store recently to get lots more of those little sticks... |

| BossStaysHomeDays |
[Jun. 7th, 2009|07:00 pm] |
Houdini: It's been a pretty good BossStaysHomeDays, even if Boss and MrsBoss went to Horserena yesterday and didn't take me.
Smudge: He's just feeling left out. Don't mind him.
Houdini: We all made round today, and we all got to play Hose too! Hose is great specially when it's hot.
Smudge: Boss rigged it so we all got to play hose with him one-on-one.
Squrrl: AND IT WAS TOTALLY! AWESOME!
Houdini: Yeah, right Squrrl. You always hang out in the backfield and never get wet at all.
Smudge: Actually, Bro, while he still played backfield, he really got into it.
Squrrl: Yeah, Houdini, I shook off TONS of water on Boss when we were done. You just couldn't, like, see it from way there behind House.
Houdini: O_o
Smudge: Yup.
Houdini: Wow. You go, Squrrl.
Squrrl: TOTALLY! AWESOME! |

I hope Boss comes home soon. It is a horrible day with BIG THUNDER looking for me. |

| Boss Brought Me A Towel! |
[May. 25th, 2009|07:12 pm] |
When we made Rounds today!
( Do you know where your towel is? )
A towel is very useful. You can carry your kibbles wrapped up in it. You can sleep on it. Boss can rub you down when you are wet and dry you off with it. You can play Tug'O'War with it. |
|
|
| ::Bounce::Bounce::Bounce:: |
[May. 25th, 2009|10:42 am] |
Here comes Boss! And he's got a towel. I wonder if that means we're gonna play HOSE!? |
|
|
| (no subject) |
[May. 25th, 2009|09:09 am] |
MrsBoss is not back from her MrsBossGoesAwayDays. Boss says she will be back later today.
The HayMan delivered a roll of hay for the Cows yesterday. He was here with his helper when Boss and I went out for evening rounds. His helper is afraid of me; I don't know why.
Boss brought me into House in the afternoon, when the Big Thunder was coming again. Big Thunder was still far away but we could hear him. Then when I got into Boss' Bubble of Kewl Big Thunder lost my scent and went away.
That was before Evening Rounds.
It's almost time for Morning Rounds today. |
