Poutines of Anarchy Lesson #4,596 - Bet

Ok little Poutines, gather round because I have an important announcement to make.

I'm going to be away for a few days....

WHA?????

No, no, no, it'll be ok!  You have your wonderful mom here to take care of you and keep you safe.

Don't forget that we have a whole staff of Homeland Security that patrol the perimeter and will keep all many of icky things from getting too close to you, plus you have your wonderful handler to feed and play with you.

WHA?  The Musher is going too????

Yes little Poutines, the Musher is taking her first string Pretty Curly Tails to a race.  It's called "Eagle Cap Extreme" and I have to go along as well because I'm responsible for morale, training, strategy, and matching ensembles... I'm very important in these things...

More important than us Auntie Bet?

Oh little Poutines, there's nothing more important than you guys, but I wear many fashionable hats here at the kennels and I have a lot of responsibilities.  When you get old enough, you'll get to go on trips and run fun races, and I'll be right there with you to make sure you have everything you need, just like I made sure you'll have everything you'll need while I'm gone.

You have your fun A frame to play in when the snow gets too cold...

You have your snuggly warm house to sleep in at night with Mom.

You have plenty of room to play and sniff and hay to snack on, or whatever, and you can run and play and chase each other.  I promise, before you know it, I'll be back!

When are you leaving Auntie Bet?

We'll be packing our stuffs and things and leaving early this week (if you count Sundays as being the first of the week) or next week (if you count Sundays as still being last week).

um... wha?

Soon Poutines, I'll be leaving soon, but I'll bring you back some FABulous souvenirs from the trip and we'll even play "wolf and caribou" and I'll even be the caribou for you!

Ok Auntie Bet, we'll be fine and we promise to behave

Sniff... I really hate to leave these guys... I hope they don't worry too much.

Don't worry my puppies, Auntie Bet will be home soon.

Um... who mama?

The Clouch - Bet

Howdy Ho Everybodies!!!

As you may have seen on the Facebooks, the Musher finally went back to the big boxy store and retrieved my new living room cloud that she forgot last week or so.

How she could have forgotten it is a bit of a mystery to me...

I mean... come on... it's a bit large... kinda hard to miss...

Anyhooooooo... she brought it home and I have to say, it's certainly not what I had expected.  I was expecting a CLOUD, but this is more of a couch!  It's a cloud, it's a couch, it's a CLOUCH!!!

It's also very comfity comfy!

I feel very safe in my new clouch.  It has arms for laying your head to the left and to the right.  It has a security back part so stuffs and things can't sneaky sneak up on you from behind, and it supports your lower lumbar parts.

It's perfect for curling up in and being all snuggity snuggy.

With a bit of mood lighting, it also looks very regal, almost like a throne!  I may have to invest in a nice tiara.  It's like being hugged!

Of course, the other household creatures just HAD to give it a try.  I'm charging them a fee to test it out.

For 2 mice Bait gave it a test drive.

KD chipped in half a bird and got a spot on the clouch

I told them not to get too comfy, it's MY clouch!

Then Kelly found out about it and made an attempt to move the whole Poutine clan onto it.  The Musher wisely threw a blanket over it before she got too comfy, but I still wasn't too happy about this... after all, she's the reason I needed new clouds.

I don't think the Poutines liked it a whole lot, they kept sliding off of it, which is fine with me, they have their own swimming pool of comfort.

The last straw..... Bear

He just comes traipsing in because he heard about my wonderful clouch and just ploops his big ol' guard dog booty right on it.

After that... it's off limits to everyone but me.  Seriously!

The New Litter - Bet

Howdy Ho Everybodies,

I certainly appreciate your patience while I recover from this horrific ghastly stomach churning wonderful miracle of nature.

As most of you know from the Facebooks (and if you aren't on the Facebooks, you really should at least check in once in a while, you don't need an account, you can see everythings and stuffs here), Kelly and Turtle were expecting a litter, and as her due date arrived, the Musher passed the time by crocheting and the rest of us waited.

When she didn't seem to be in any hurry, we decided to stare at her and will her to ploop out the puppies.

The Musher crocheted and we waited.

and we waited...

... and waited...

... and waited...

... and waited...

... and we waited...

... and we waited...

The official "Waiting" poster will be available for sale by clicking this linky link

FINALLY it was time!!!

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Except Kelly decided that if she was going to ploop out some puppies, she wasn't going to do it just anywhere, or in that perfect little comfy pool where all of the ick and stuffs would be contained.... oh no... where does she decide to ploop out the puppies?

ON. MY. CLOUD!

MY cloud!!! She plooped out puppies on MY bedroom cloud!!!!!!!!!!

Urp... I get nauseous just thinking about it again.

She couldn't ploop them out on my living room cloud.  Why couldn't she ploop them out on my living room cloud, you may ask?

BECAUSE SHE DID THIS TO MY LIVING ROOM CLOUD!

Sweet mother of everything holy, that Kelly is a one dog wrecking crew (don't ask the Musher about her heating pad or iPhone charger... just DON'T go there...)

Sigh... seriously?

Ok, fine, the puppies ARE adorable.  4 little boys and 2 little girls.

Aren't they adorable???  Yes they are, and because we had oodles of peoples that guessed 4 boys and 2 girls, we had to draw a winner of the puppy pool... and the winner is:

Congratulations R. A. Becky Campbell, contact Heather Minion with your mailing address, we'll send you some North Wapiti Kennels swag!

Soooo, anywhooooooooooo... all of my clouds are ruined... utterly and totally RUINED I TELL YOU!!!

To help raise the funds for my replacement clouds, I'll be auctioning off the 6 hats the Musher crocheted while we waited (and waited, and waited, and ... see above).  Hopefully between that and the "Waiting" posters that we'll also have for sale in the next day or two, I'll be able to buy new replacement clouds... until then... sniff... I just don't know where I can sleep.

Oh, and I heard that some of you are waiting to find out the theme of this litter...

Well, since Kelly is the Mom, and Turtle is the dad, and Turtle's nickname is "Turd", it's quite clear that this litter is the Poutine litter!  Get it:  Kurds!

So, we have:

Gravy
Fries
Cheese
Fromage
Frite
and Sauce

They don't seem to like their new hats very much though...

Telling Us Apart - Bet

It has come to my attention that some peoples are having a hard time telling me apart from the Molly Toddles.

Harumpf!

First of all, clearly I'm a Border Collie, and I wear the most fantabulous bling collar around.  Sure the Molly Toddles are getting pretty big, and sure some of them are black and white like me, but they're Pretty Curly Tails, whereas my tail is not curly, although it is very pretty.

As you can clearly see in exhibit #1 above, I'm clearly NOT a Toddle... but since we seem to have a lot of people getting confused, I'm working on a way to clearly identify each of the Toddles.

Unfortunately my first attempt did not meet with Carbon's approval, and Pete destroyed my decorative flower.

Back to the drawing board.

Back To Normal - Bet

 Howdy Ho Everybodies!!

After our kinda long vacation hiatus, I just wanted to assure you that everything is getting back to normal again.

I had my personal chauffeur take us to pick up The Musher and Musher Mark

Please excuse the intrusive ©... we've had peoples stealing our stuffs and things

Sigh...

I got lei'd

I know some of you were thinking something naughty

Isn't it pretty??  It makes my eyes pop and matches my collar and stuffs and things.

Of course, the Molly Toddles gave the Musher a rousing howdy ho welcome back greeting

Molly tried to control them, but there's no stopping puppy power

The Molly Toddles really wanted to show the Musher all of their super cool moves like Jagger swagger, so Molly and I set up a cage match demonstration.

Um... that was a bit too fast... hardly exciting at all... I had a word with Molly about this

Um... Molly... your kid is a wuss

For some reason, Molly didn't take kindly to that tidbit of advice.

 You need to get in there and act like you have a pair!!!

Nuh uh!  You aren't the boss of me

WHAT?  While you're in MY kennel you play by MY rules

I'm telling DAD!

See, see how easy this is, knock them over backwards and go for the throat, how many times...

gah gurgle

What?  I can't understand you

I said, you're choking me!

Fine, I'll chew on your head

MOM!  Ow, the other kids are laughing at me!

What?  Your old mom isn't too old to take you to the ground, see???

mbglrmbekeoifkd ick

No FAIR!! That's NOT FAIR, you're bigger than me

I'll show you what's fair little pup of mine

Nobody is going to call my pups a bunch of wussies

Um... Mom... it's the crazy Border Collie... have you seen her around mosquitos?

I mean seriously, she's afraid of hummingbirds... and bees... and ... her own shadow

gack

Wait a minute... you're right.  None of my puppies are wussies...

Ok, here's what I want you to do...

whisper, whisper, whisper

Hey... um... what you are guys doing?

Um, wait... this is suppose to be a puppy cage match... I'm the referee

No NO, you don't attack the referee

Molly, your kids are attacking the referee, that's against the rules

MOLLY!  Call off your kids!!!

MOLLY!!!!

Don't make me go Ninja!

... and from there things just went downhill.  I'm not pleased to say that there are no more pictures because the Musher had to come save me... sigh.

It's good to have her home again.
