What's A Husky To Do?

Hello My Furry Friends! Not much going on around here. The weather has become very warm and us pups do not like to be out for too long. We enjoy our naps inside. But I'm beginning to wonder about Missy and Bella. Their sleeping positions are not huskylike. I mean, look at me, I'm curled up on my mat. The sun was shining thru the window so that made it really nice.
But, what's with Bella? She sleeps with her body on the floor and her butt on the pillow. That's just not right. And that smile. Don't believe for a moment that she's an angel. Last night she stole green beans out of the collendar off the counter and was munching out. And there were not ours, they were for mom and dad's dinner.

And Missy is no better with her furry self. She thinks she's so cute with her paws like that. Then she kicks her legs and does this ruff ruff thing.

Now as for this, I don't know what to say. She's using me as part of her pillow. Mom still can't belive she got this picture. We are just such loving huskies. Ha roo roo roo. This was after a lot of wrestling and spreading of fur all over the kitchen. We needed a nap.

This one is just too much. Yes, we still have one Christmas stuffie left. And for some reason Bella had to lay on me to play with it. This was a one time only photo as I got up, took that stuffie and we ran all over the house with it.

We're enjoying being inside with the husky air on. We'll probably go out late this afternoon, after mom bakes our biscuits. Fresh cheesy biscuits. Woooo, they smell so good. And we get to sample the cheese when the bag is opened. Mom calls us her "quality control inspectors."

Hope all of you'all have a happy day.

Husky Hugs to all. MayaMarie

(note from mom: Still job hunting. It's hard to believe that with all the jobs in our classifieds that no one is calling. I'm sure the post office is greateful for all the resume's I've mailed out. The last few wanted younger people with less expierence so they could pay less. Oh well, their loss. Us older girls do know what we're doing. I'm still working on the dog biscuit idea and getting some of my craft projects together. I think the personalized pet felt Christmas stockings and/or a banner is a good idea. I'll have MayaMarie do a post of theirs. Thanks for your suggestings and support. I do appreciate it. Gerri)

What Has Bella Been Up To? And No Hot Water

Hello My Furry Friends! The answer to the Bella question is quite amazing, to me anyway. You see, I was helping mom in the laundry room, like I always do. It’s next to the kitchen. We were putting the wet clothes in the dryer. I love to help with the wet clothes, when we heard this odd noise. You see, Bella was not interested in the laundry and was in the kitchen. I went to see, and of course, I got on my purple bench and had to ra rooo roo for mom to come see. I had to tell, for a change I was innocent. And Bella the Bad was guilty!This is what she saw. Do you know what this is? It’s ice. How did it get all over the floor. Bella is running around the kitchen with ice cubes having the time of her life. Just look at her. Munching out.

Now this is the ice cube button area. How did she manage this? Now the button is on lock, and only mom can get the ice out.

She's still trying to figure out why she can't get ice any more. And mom is still amazed that she reached up and pressed that pad with her paw and got ice out. Bella has a very deep voice and now she fusses at mom for ice cubes. She may act all sweet and innocent, but she can cause trouble too!

This is where we ended up yesterday and today. In half of our room, with my crate and a gate as a barricade. Seems the big thing that makes hot water will not work and the plumber could not fix it, and there was no hot water last night. Mom told dad he had to heat the pool last night because she was not taking another cold shower.

Today, dad said he was not waiting for parts to come in some time next week, and the plumber guy was not in any hurry, so dad went and got a new one. Missy got to inspect it.

We were not allowed to help and they put the dryer in the way so we could not get back there. It took them a few hours, but we now have hot water. Dad is our hero, mom was his helper, so we better appreciate her too, and now mom can go wash her hair.

We just could not fit thru there. We tried. Bella even tried to get on the dryer.

PeeSssss: Mom is still sending out the resume’ thingies. Either she’s too old (and she still says 49 is not old) or she’s is over qualified. Have you ever eard of being over qualified? She told one interviewer she didn’t want her job, she just wants to make enough money to help with the groceries, us pups and stuff like that. So now she’s putting together her paperwork and is gonna see about selling dog biscuits and her special felt Christmas stockings. We have to get her to post our stockings, she made them to look just like us.

Thanks for all the encourangement for our mom. You'all made her smile and fell good. She's not gonna give up looking. She found a few more jobs in today's paper she'll apply for. But we do like the dog biscuit idea the best!

We're Still Here and Have Not Forgotten Our Friends

Hello My Furry Friends! We are still here and we have not forgotten our Furry Friends. Things are just kinda changing here and we are helping mom get thru all this. The people with her work have gotten unreasonable with their family traumas and have treated her so badly that she finally gave her resignation. She's been taking my pepsid and not been very happy. She finally had enough.

So she’s been sending out some kind of resume’ thingies. I think it means she’ll be gone all day. What are we to do? Maybe if me, Missy and Bella set up a dog biscuit stand in front of the house and sold dog biscuits? After all, who could refuse our cuteness?
She’s been working in the room her desk and computer share with us and her crafts, and moving the furniture so we can’t get into anything. I’m helping lead the way to where the desk is supposed to be.

She wants to make the room safe for us so that we don’t have to stay in our crates all day if she finds a full time job. Really she wants a job close to home so she can come home at lunch to let us go out to potty and and check on us. We hope that happens. But if not, we’ll be good in the area she’s fixing for us. Or as good as huskies can be. Maybe I can help with some of these crafts and we can sell them? We did get new toys from the Easter Bunny. Missy got a duck.

Bella got a big yellow duck and already made a hole in it and popped the thing that makes it squeak. And mom had to perform surgery on it.

And me, I got this big fluffy bunny. I toss him in the air and swing him by his ear and run wit him. Bella keeps trying to get him from me, but I run as fast as I can.

We are still visiting all our friends bloggies and we hope mom will feel better about posting and get us back together with our friends.

PeeSsssss: Mom just got a call from a law firm about setting up an interview. We are keeping her positive about it (especially since this one told her lunch time is an hour, she can come home and check on us), but she keeps saying it's hard to compete in the job market when you're in your late 40's and everyone else is 20's and a size 6. (No offense but the older ladies are just as qualified to do a good job, especially one that was a legal secretary for 25 years), and try explaining that you have to go home for lunch to let your huskies out. People look at you really funny.

Bella's Home

Hello My Furry Friends. Bella is home. Mom and dad went and picked her up yesterday. The vet said all went well and she was so quite they could not believe a husky was this quite. Well, as soon as she saw mom and dad she was so excited they could not keep her still.
Here she is showing off her tummy. I have one complaint. She does not have to wear that plastic collar thing. How fair is that? Look are her, she got her collar back on and she's smiling. I had to wear that thing for what seemed like forever. I gotta talk with the vet when I see him. This is so not fair.

Well, we have to be separated for the week. The vet actually thinks Bella is gonna lay still and be confined to her crate? Oh but no. I have the doggy room with my sofa and window and Bella is in the kitchen. And she will not stay still. So we will just have to visit at the gate until the weekend. Let's see who lasts longer with this set up, us or mom.

After Dinner Treats and Bella is at Surgery

Hello My Furry Friends! We hope all of you are being good and still sharing your fluffliness with your household. We wanted to share our after treat time. This is what we do while mom is finishing in the kitchen after dinner. We wait patiently by the counter.
Of course Missy has to be a show off and do these sorts of things us huskies will not do for treats. She is quite the showoff.

What are waiting for you ask? Every night after dinner mom makes cappucino (decaf) for her and dad and they get a cookie each. And we get a cookie too with just a touch of the fluffy milk. Mom makes her fluffly milk with this lactose free soy milk. When we hear that thing fluffing the milk, we woo and run and jump.

Now here I am after our treat telling Bella about this surgery thing (it was time for her to be fixed.) I tried telling her not to be scared and that the doctor was gonna fix something that really was not broken, but she was not paying attention.

It's very quite today without my little friend. I didn't want to eat and I've been looking for her. Mom said she will be back Sunday, but I miss her.

Husky Hugs to all. MayaMarie

Note from mom: It is too quiet. MayaMarie is not interested in eathing, just looking for Bella, and Missy is at the front door waiting. We brought her last night with her food and treats. She is supposed to come home on Sunday, so we'll update later.

Window Pups

Hello My Furry Friends! We are still sharing our fluff with the house. The air conditioner vent was a sight to see.

Me and Bella were playing with our tomato and carrot toys. They make this weird noise when we shake them. We both realized that all this sunshine coming thru the window was really nice.
So we decided to look outside. I'm teaching Bella the art of the window. This is the front view.

Of course, mom thinks this view is soooo cute because of our tails. Well of course it is!

Bella still does not sit in the window like I do. But I'm trying to teach her. We did have fun.

I hope all of you pups are making sure there is fluff everywhere. We even succeeded in getting it in the dishwasher. At least it's nice and clean with the dishes. What more does she want?

Husky Hugs, MayaMarie

The New Fluff Picking Up Machine

Hello My Furry Friends! Well, the little old cannister vacuum finally died a swift death, mom says "smothered by fluff." Well, it had to go. Don't you agree?

So what does she do, she asks her SiberMal Buddies what they are using in their homes to pick up fluff. And let me tell you, you pups have got to get hold of the keyboards and intercept these communications. Now I'm not naming names, but somebody's mom said to get a purple animal? A Dyson? Oh but no. Have you seen that thing. It's pure evil. Then somepuppies mom has more than one of these machines and she uses them all over their house. Oh my gosh, that was just too much for me. I was overcome with wooing...... And they wonder why we spread our fluff.

So what did we get? Of course, our mom has to look up these fluff picking up machines on the internet, and compare them. She even printed stuff out. Dad saw these papers and I guess he figured he had to make good as he really messed up for her birthday last month, first he forgot it, then he got her something really lame (some kind of radio thing that was supposed to pick up bad weather and police reports, that didn't work... she never even mentioned such a thing, so what in the wooo was he thinking?).

Okay, so he went to Home Depot to get some guy stuff and this is what he came home with for mom. It's a Bissell. Me and Bella were looking it over and it says something about pet hair. So this is what he got mom for her birthday. For some reason, she is happy with this gift. Now I don't know about you pups, but I don't consider this a gift.
He said it was in the right price range, because he also got her this pretty little ring. Can you see it on the puppy on the window sill? Not a great picture, huh? As you can see, she has little husky pups in the window for each of us. I'll get her to take a better picture and tell about them.

Okay, here's a better one. It's on the pup's ear. It's a ephany platinum diamonique with husky blue stones. Dad actually picked that out too on some store on tv. The pretty swan is from our gramdma in Green Bay for mom's birthday. It looks pretty in the sunlight. In case you are wondering, the little things on the shelf in front of the white pup are Bella's baby teeth that mom has been finding on the floor. She actually is picking them up and saving them.

So now, back to this fluff picking up machine. She had try it out, and Missy has to show off. She likes these machines. She layed on the floor and did this ruff ruff for mom to vacuum her. I am so embarrased. This is just not right, not at all. Look at her smile.

Do you see this tool? It's a special attachment for picking up pet hair. And look at the name on it. It's a Turbo Brush! Turbo (http://www.worldofturbo.blogspot.com/) do you get royalties for this? Did you know about this? You have to do something about this. Your name is on a vacuum attachment!!!!! On my dogness, I am just so overwhelmed........Wooo.

Then, mom goes to the Bissell site to register this thing. And now we find out that our buddy Indy (http://indyscorner.blogspot.com/) is nominated in the pet photo contest. Indy, it's a vacuum!!! How could you????? Friends you have to vote for Indy. A husky is the only choice. And I still think his mom must have used some kind of special treats to get him to agree to this.

Well, I leave you with a picture of me and Bella on the sofa. We were actually being good and not ripping anything. That lasted for about 5 pictures. It took her that many to get the right one. Ha roo roo roo.

Till later. Husky Hugs to all. MayaMarie
