Allison. (ARF)!

A big old "ARF!" to you all!
Yeah, it's me, Punk.

I been toad that I hafta be writing my own story of the snowstorm.
So here it is.

It was a dark and chilly day... HAHA

But it was! The day before anyway. 
My "she" wanted to go to the store.
And my Casey met us there too.
'My Casey' is nice to me.   Mostly anyway.

'My Casey' came out to the car to see me, and to kiss me, and to hug me.
I like her kisses and hugs, 'cept for when my 'she' makes us look at the picture thing.
.
.




Me, and My Casey at the store.
My she was kinda upset because they don't have her Wild Cherry Pepsi in bottles anymore.  (I'll share my water from now on).

We came home, and ate some yummy supper. (I always get to lick her plates off, but she cleans them pretty good before I do).

Later we went outside, and after that, me and my she cozied up nice and warm on the couch.

When we woke up, I wanted to eat. But my she always makes me go outside first.  So I went to the back entrance and peeked...

THIS IS WHAT I SAW!!!!

.
.


That's not good.
I could hear the wind howling like me when I get my toe-nee-nails cut.

I knew it meant that it would freezie my toes right up.
.
.


I got really worried... And I tried to tell her, "No!"
(She doesn't listen to me, and went off to turn all the water spouts on to make sure we had not frozen water).

In the meanwhile I really had to go potty!


.
.


So then I waited nice for her.

That door did not want to open, even when my she pushed on it hard!

After a few more pushes, I finally got to 'go'.
And I 'went' really fast too.

Then we ate some yummy breakfast. My 'she' gives me a cup of dried up meat and stuff to eat.
the 'she' gets the good stuff for herself!
NOT FAIR!

She made some taters, and some dead pigstrips, and a couple of yokey things. (I love those yokey things because they stick to her plate really good and I get to lick them off)!

After that she finally turned the big light on outside, (and I had to 'go' again anyway by that time).
.
.


My she wouldn't come outside with me this time though. But she did go all the way up those steps and throw my ball out of her window.

It was even fun to find in the snow!!! I had to keep on digging to find it.
.

.



While I was doing that, I heard that picture thing make its funny noise...

.
.


She always clicks if she thinks I'm cute.
(And I am really cute)!
.
.



But I had to keep looking for my toy too. (It kept getting lost)!
.

.



This was a LOT of fun!
.

.


'Specially when I could see the dang thing!
.

My she would hide it on me, and sometimes I just couldn't find it anywhere! 
(I don't know how she did that either)...






I would look all over!

.
.



Some parts were even higher than me!
Mostly I didn't sink too bad. But when I did, I got a little full of snow...

And a little cold too...

.
.



She didn't let me take my Frisbee outside either.

Even when I begged her to...






But then a few days later, 'My Casey' came to visit me again!
She also brought that Greg Man along. I like him too.

Since my she won't do much of the shoveling, 'My Casey' did this for her.







So did that Greg Man...







I had to watch and stay outta the way.







My Casey thought I looked bored so she kept throwing the snow at me!
I would catch it in my mouth!  Cool, huh?!?







The man that came and pushed a lot of snow out of my way had done a really good job.

He even HID MY TOY ON ME!!!

But I found it in a big pile of snow!







Later when we all came back in and my feets got warm, I brought my Frisbee to 'My Casey"...






But My Casey said I couldn't play in the house that way too.

I tried to sit on her lap.  (That's always fun)!







And now that I lost some weight, I even weigh less than she does! (My she says that has been a long time coming)!

Even so, My Casey makes me sit all alone; just next to her.





We like holding paws.
And she likes teasing me about my Frisbee.





I showed My Casey that even though I'm not as fat as she is, I can still tip her over.






And I hold onto it really tight!





She just kept on trying to steal it though...




Then I would bite it hard, just to hold on to it.






I tried to hide it on My Casey, and she tried to push me off the couch!






Then she tried to steal it all over again!




We had LOTS of fun that day!

Well, until My Casey decided it was time for my "pet-i-cure".

I tried to hide my toeneenails on her, so my she helped hold me down.

After I let them "win".
My Casey had to 'finish' my toeneenails.
She filed them!
(I like this part the very best you know)!





My Casey makes me feel so special that I almost fall asleep every time she does this.

Well, it's time for me to be done here today...
My 'she' says she has to call my doctor.  (I like him too).  I haven't been feeling too good, and my she just wants me to be feeling better than I am.
My 'she' thinks its my butt again-  (I ain't tellin').
Said she sees me trying to turn around a lot. (And I can't do that 'cuz I was squished when I was really little).  If ya wanna know 'bout that, just click on the "written by Punk" tag below...

Time for my nap now.

ARF to all!
May your bowls and your bellies always be full!

Love, Punk

UPS Airlines

Please go potty before you read this.  If you are not laughing hysterically at at least one of these, please check for a pulse.
(From my email, from my Sweet Sissy KrissiePoo).

Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one; a reassurance to those of us who fly routinely in our jobs.
(By the way, UPS Air is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident).


After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a 'gripe sheet,' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics corrects the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
(Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor).

Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots (marked with a P); and the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers. (marked with an S).


****  Problem/Solution


P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

                  *

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

                  *

P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit

                 *

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

                  *

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

                  *

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

                  *

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

                  *

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.

                  *

P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

                  *

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

                  *

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

                  *

P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

                  *

Why God Made Sons in Laws...

Good Evening;
It is once again snowing on top of the ice... The temps will be below zero once more tonight and not above about 10 tomorrow. Yes, I have F
Casey has just called and is home safely from school.
Kelli is still on the road making her way home. (She took the Jeep today so at least has 4 wheel drive if she needs it).
I still worry...
So, as I wait to hear that she has made it home safely I want to share my funny exchange with William today.

As you know, he lives down IN Alabama...

We have taken to chiding each other about our weather opposites, (truth be known, William just rubs his cozy warm temps in my face every chance he gets). hehehe

Here ya go!
________________

Where ARE you Mr. William?
I had a little fun, (at your expense) late last week when we had our blizzard... hehehe
Hope you weren't too upset?

My love to all
XOXO
me
________________

No I am not upset, but I am the one sitting in 60 degree weather! Ha Ha.
How about you?
Love you
________________

Come north and cool off a bit, will ya already?
We are to be getting more snow today- On top of the ice we got last night...
ARGHHHH!

________________

Well we will be getting more rain on top of, oh more water!
You come south and warm up that frozen brain
________________

At least y'all can swim if need be,
I tried the backstroke in the snow once...
________________

And how did that work out for you?
Bet snow down the pants is worst than sand.

________________

Not sure as I like the 'grit' either. 
But I do know for a fact that the snow makes you move a bit faster...

Rotflol!

I am still giggling!   Ain't life grand?
All of which begs the question, "Which do YOU prefer?"

Dead Penguins...

Rating:	★★
Category:	Other

Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in  Antarctica?
Where do they go?
Wonder no more!

It is a well known fact the penguin is a very ritualistic bird.  It lives an extremely ordered and complex life.
The penguin is committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintaining a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.

If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into and buried.


The male penguins then gather in a circle around the freshly dug grave...
They all sing: "FREEZE a jolly good fellow."

Then, they kick him in THE ICE HOLE.


Sheesh, did you really think I knew anything about penguins?!?


Must fly for now...
Have a wunnaful Monday!

XOXO
Me

Makes Ya Wonder???

Sheesh Duane, this is really bad...
Worth passing on though...

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ...

Hmmm...

Have you ever wondered if the one-dollar bills in your wallet were ever in a stripper's ass crack?  
(If not, you're wondering now).  

Have a nice day! hehehe

Blizzard "Allison"

To the west...

Good Evening Everyone;
The storm is over. The yard is plowed.
The sun even poked its face out this afternoon.
We are warm and safe.

As I type, it is 3 measly degrees. But those 3 little degrees are (still) above zero.

When Punk and I went for that last walk, I noticed that on Sunday they had finally put up trail markers for the snowmobiles.
.
.
............
.
.
.

............

Not a minute too soon if you ask me.

.
.
Knowing that the view could change quickly, I had also taken this shot.
.
.
 
.
.
And then that view DID change...
.
.
 
There really is birdseed in that feeder...
.
.
.
I had also put out the Christmas sign
.
.
.
 
.
.
It wasn't long before THAT view also changed...
.
.
 
Will have to stand it back up when it warms up a bit...
.
.
And that driveway you could see in the picture of Christmas Corner?
.
.

.
Completely obliterated. hehehe
.
.
So was my road!
.
.
 
.
.
I should have known how bad it was just by looking out the kitchen window when it began to get light out...
.
.
 
With its snow and ice packed screens and storms.
.
.
.
But with a snowfall like this, comes a surreal beauty.

Like the REAL Christmas Trees...
.
.
.
 
... decorated by Old Man Winter and Mother Nature
.
.
And when JoAnne and Jim's lights came on, that view was still pretty
.
.

 
.
.
My snowplow came late yesterday afternoon. 
As weather should have predicted, he got stuck. ... 3 times.
.
.

Sorry so blurry
.
.
.
Darkness comes early now- About 4:30. But even with that, you can see the pretty decorations left behind
.
.
 
Am giggling at the lawn chair, left of the door... (Whoops)!
.
.
.
The wind had done its own fierce decorating...
Leaving the side of the house completely covered.
.
.
 
And leaving my shovels in wait for helping hands. The snowplow man did dig out away from the house so he could pull the snow off the apron to the garage.
.
.
.
.

One for Lawrence, and one for William too.   hehehe  Since I haven't heard from him now, I am guessing they MUST be on their way to shovel?!
.
.
And then there's my little flower bed...
.
.
 
How my seeds come up every year is always a wild and amazing miracle to me!
.
.
.
Completely chilled, and sweating at the same time (from being wrapped up like a North Pole burrito), it was time to head in and get something hot in my tummy.
.
.
 
That's more like it!
.
.
Kristen wrote this morning saying she had made chili and fresh baked bread yesterday. (Good as my own stew was, methinks I should have gotten snowed~in over there)! hehehe

They had gone to story time at the library last week.
Clifford the big red dog was there... And Kristen sent this picture on!
.
.
.

Alexis, Master Gabriel, Clifford and Kayleigh. (Kristens "triplets")!
Thank you Sweet Kristen!.
I am always so happy to get these pictures- They make my heart happy!


Julie, another neighbor, called yesterday morning, early.
Had I seen two of her dogs? I had not.
She also called last night, after the blizzard had let up a bit.  They still had not come home. Too easy, even for dogs, to lose direction in a blizzard.
Another phone call this morning, as the wind chill was estimated at about 20-30 below. No dogs. She now has put up signs she got from her vet.
I feel so badly for her- She has a lot of dogs, but cares for them too.

Sweet Kelli stayed home yesterday. Too far to go to take a chance, and with the Sheriffs department telling everyone to stay off the roads, she was much safer too. Miss May and Miss Breezie got their blankets put on- Kelli said Miss May looked like some weird blue alien in the snowstorm! hehehe
They will be happy to have those blankets on as tonight we may get below zero.

I turned my heat down about 2 hours ago. 15 minutes ago, I turned it right back up.

Casey called earlier- Feeling kind of rough yet from her infection, but getting better too. The fact that at least she CAN sleep is a good thing. There are days that sleep does not come so easily for her.

Greg did go to work yesterday- And he tried planting his car too. After being stuck for a while, his whole crew came along, one by one, and helped him out. I believe his boss took pictures, but I have yet to see them. Too much fun in the snow! (Is that even possible)?

Punk had fun out there too- But she will have to post her own story.

Time to go put my feet up in a little bit- Hope this finds everyone warm and safe.

Love to all

XOXO
Anne
