Mayor ARTY is runnin a No Tricks... all TREATS Bloghop so we wanted to put up the treats that we had Mom make...
    THESE are Witch's Lips....     Made with Apple Slices, Peanut butter, and Slivered Almonds fur Teefs.

Help yourself to a set of Lips...   OR to these gems...       MUMMIFIED TUBE STEAKS..
   Mom made these thingys to take to COLORING fur the Ancients... Yesterday.

         *********************************************************************
OKAY...   we don't really have a FLOWER to show you today...  BUTT this IS about a Living Plant/Tree thingy... so we HOPE it counts.

Last Summer (TWO SUMMERS AGO)  when we went to BAR in Indiana...    WE won a PRIZE and this is what it looked like...  at the end of LAST summer....

 It came in the Plastic Tube...

 THIS is the Day that we actually Planted it... two summers ago...   you can see how much it grew the furst few months...

 It grew SO much last summer that Mom had to give it a GOOD Trimming before bringing it in fur the winter....  

BUTT wait until you see it NOW...
      It is TWICE as tall as this time last October... before mom trimmered it.

 We had mom put a 12 inch Ruler in there so you can tell how tall it is now...

 AND BUSHY even....

 It is TALLER than the Porch rail...  

Mom may need to call the Tree Trimmer Guys to work on it now...  
   We wanted Angel Dory and Arty and Jakey and Posy to see that mom is we are still taking good care of it.    

Pee S.... we will resume our Khamp Barks A Lot series on MONDAY...   Have a wonderful weekend everybuddy.

Khamp Barks A Lot PAWt.2

OKAY.... you Met... TURBO... and you now know why we have him coming to INVADE "Visit" us.
    Butt before we begin...  Mayoress Emeritus Madi asked yesterday....  WHERE DOES TURBO SLEEP...     Ernie goes in the other bedroom with DAD while Turbo is here... and Turbo sleeps in the room with Mom and me.   Sometimes he is on the bed with us... all snuggled up... and sometimes he gets down and sleeps on the carpet at the foot of the bed.  
           Ernie would HATE sleeping with Turbo... (YES I WOULD< Frankie) butt he misses sleeping with ME...  (YES I DO< Frankie).  
So now we will tell you about some of the stuffs we have done to help keep his mind off the sad and worrisome stuffs....
   Now Turbo is an INSIDE dog...  he only has a LONG chain to be on when he goes outside...   and WE have this hooge FREE ROAMING Safe Fenced yard...  and let us tell you that Turbo LOVES it.     We had to teach him the good spots to look around and see fun stuffs...   he learned that FAST...
  We had to teach him the Shady spots to nap in during the Hot days... and the Sunny Spots fur other days...
    AND where he would have his PICK NICK Suppers every day...  
     No problem with THAT lesson.

Where to PEE.... and where NOT TO...    he likes to pee on BOTH of our Hydrants...   he likes our RED one SO much that he even had his peeps get one fur HIS yard.     Just sayin.

 OH and Ernie taught him Who to Mess with...

 And who NOT TO...                         Just LOOK at how BIG he is...     BUTT trust us....  Ernie kept him totally under control...           Turbo was TRYING to TALK to Ernie... butt Ernie was havin none of that...      

 And that he was welcome to play with HIS TOYS... Inside and OUT...   He loves chasing this toy when mom takes him out and throws it really FAR...    You should see him JUMP and grab it mid air...     can't get a pic of that beclaws mom can't hold the Phone and throw the toy at the same time.

Wait until you see some of the OTHER thingys that we did with him.      OH... did we mention that he calls US... the KHAMP   Count Sellers ....      and he does everythingy that the Count Sellers tell him to.      Just sayin.

Khamp Barks A Lot... PAWt 1.

OKAY...   here is the deal...   our neighbor   TURBO... is having some problems with his peeps.

His Dad has the bad  "C" thingy...     as you can see... he is pretty depressed over it...   BUTT...
   WE are doing OUR PAWt to be GOOD NEIGHBORS to Turbo and his peeps...   They have to go to PITCH BURGER, Pencil Vane E Ah... to the hospital... and STAY fur a few days each time...
   Turbo can't go...   SO...   We putted Our Heads, Paws, and Tails together and...
Started...
Khamp Barks A Lot
    This is how it goes...   at HIS house Turbo doesn't have a Fenced (SAFE to Rip and Run and PLAY in)  yard.    He has to go out on a long Chain.      
    WE DO have this HOOGE Fenced Yard...
Now We COULD have sent our mom Back and Forth (In and Out) and Back and Forth (In and Out) about 87 times every Day and NIGHT...     and you all know about this being the street which Claims MANY DUCKS... so we were sort of worried about MOM crossing the street and stuffs..   and that is when we came up with the BETTER PLAN..
    We would have Turbo come HERE to our house (which does NOT make Ernie a happy camper) BUTT sometimes you just gotta put Others ahead of one's self.    SO   Ernie Sucked it up like a VACULA on a Rampage... and  said...    Bring him ON...   Butt he had better behave.
    OKAY...   so back in JUNE this horror plan went into action.
 We had Turbo's Peeps bring him Safely across the street.. with his OWN Foodables and SNACKS..
    It actually takes TWO Strong Peeps to get him over here...  butt only ONE to walk him HOME again.      
   So Turbo has been coming over here... and it takes ever so much of our time when he is here.   THAT is PAWT of why we were on such a LONG LONG summer/fall break...    
     We will tell you now that Turbo's dad is taking Treatments Once a Month now... which is a LOT easier than when he had to have 87 bazillion tests... and then Surgery on his BRAIN...  and then a bunch more days of recovery and then all the trips to Pitch Burger fur setting up what kind of treatment(s) he would be having...    At the beginning of all this...  Turbo was here fur DAYS and NIGHTS and Days and Nights...   fur MOST of  5 weeks... with just a day or so in between times.   ONE day his peeps got HOME... and even BEFORE Turbo could be escorted back home the hospital called them and said RUSH... RUSH... Right back down here to Pitch Burger.       Turbo didn't even get to SEE his own peeps...that time.
     Now you can see why we have had our paws full...      Did we mention that TURBO is HOOOOGE???     we are not kidding you... he is HOOGE...   butt fortunately he is VERY GENTLE...    and nice with us...i dont care, Frankie... I still dont like having him here   butt he is constantly WORRIED about his dad... so we have had to come up with about 87 different Games and Activities.. and Farts and Craps...      What would KHAMP be, withOUT doing Farts and Craps activities??????...     we will tell you all about this stuffs in the next few posts...
    WHEW...   sorry to be so LONG and Boring... butt we needed fur you to understand the background of this  Khamp Barks A Lot   thingy.
PEE S....    1.   Turbo's dad IS DOING WELL with the Chemo and Radiation.
                              2.  Turbo only needs to come ONCE a MONTH now...
  from SUNDAY until TUESDAY.    Three Days and Two Nights...    
 

More Ducky Stuffs

Okay,   Furst we want to tell you that we are gonna be Gone all weekend...   and THEN we have to do somethingy (which we will tell you all about in the future) that will keep us TOTALLY BIZZY on Monday and Tuesday...     We don't think it is fair to POST and not be around to read YOUR Posts...   It would be RUDE not to comment on YOUR blogs... if YOU comment on OURS.....  so...   ONCE AGAIN... we are gonna take a few days of Bloggy Break.  

NOW....   MORE Ducky Stuffs...
     as you can see from THESE pictures... these CRAZY Ducks....  don't know WHICH side of the Street they want to be on...

 Back and Forth...  Back and Forth...    and Speaking of   FOURTH..  

 Notice that the Fourth Ducky... the Brown one... is MISSING...     and now we will tell you the sad thingy about how THAT came to be.

One day we had a HOOGE HOOGE  rain...    3 inches came down in 45 Minutes...   it was Wild and Crazy...    no thunder... no wind...  just the hardest fastest RAIN we had EVER SEEN.
    THIS is what our Yard looked like after it stopped...    

this picture was taken before it Totally stopped.   When it DID quit the Red Floaty thingy was Right on the 3" mark...        That was WAY too much water ... Way too FAST fur the town Drains to take away...  

 SO the STREET totally Flooded... these are the neighbor's Snail Mail and news paper boxes...  SURROUNDED with Water...  and it was going down the neighbor Across the street, Driveway...

 THIS is OUR driveway...   and that Dark Box is where we put our Trash.. and you can see OUR Snail Mail box above it on the right...    The Trash box thing had Water/Mud marks  6" high.

 AND the Water KEPT coming UP even after the Water Fall of Rain Stopped...  See the neighbor's yard.... it looks like a LAKE...

 It ALMOST came up to the Gravel area where Mom turns Jessie Jeep around when she backs outta the Garage...

 THIS is the OTHER side of our Driveway...   you can see that it was flooded WAY up into our front yard...  Fortunately it did NOT make it clear up to our house.    BUTT one of the neighbors DID get out their CANOE... and were going up and down the street... and across Yards....    Just sayin.

 Now when the Rain Quit and the Water was still covering the STREET and the End of our Drive... THE DUCKS... thought it would be Super Fun to SWIM ... where the Street is...   they were having a BLAST...   UNTIL... the water started to go back down...(which took about an hour)...  and the Street could again be Seen...      BUTT that didn't stop them...  they just went back to galumphing back and forth across the street.. to where BIG Deep Puddles remained...      THEN....    THEN....   

SADLY...   Cars and trucks started moving on the street again... and the little Brown Duck... Was No More.               
      PEE S...    we know 4 families that have lived here in Cooperstown, Pencil Vane E Ah for 50 years or more...    and they all say that they had NEVER EVER seen such a Hard Rain... and that that was the furst time EVER that this street was Totally Flooded over.     Just sayin.

REMINDER:   We will be away from Blogville fur a FEW days....   JUST A FEW this time... and when we come back...  we will tell you about...    CAMP BARK A LOT...  

Duck Duck... NO GOOSE

As you have seen...  we have had a Ducky time around here the last few months...  Some GOOD times... and some SAD.

 Yesterday... we showed you 4 ducks....  butt by the time we got these pictures...  the little brown duck... had sadly met with the WHEELS of MISfortune...on one of their 87 billion trips back and forth across the street...  

 On THIS day....  we went OUTSIDE our safe Fence...to get to know the ducks better....

 We talked about a LOT of stuffs and they were actually quite nice... if a bit difficult to understand.

 They actually told us some Ducky JOKES...

 Those....   Quacked  us up.    

Just sayin.
