Mom is getting a new computer. We are holding out the hope that starts blogging for us again. We need to show you pictures of the new pup, Sherman ... aka ... Shermie, Shermeister, Sherman T. (for trouble) and the most recent ... The Sherminator. We can't tell you the story now but it will be one of the first ones once we get back into blogging.
We are so excited we could just pee!

Chilly Dog Season is Here
Hello everydog (and people too)!
Yesterday morning we got up and it was cold! Mom said it was freezing and that the thermometer said it was 32 degrees. We don't know degrees but we do know cold. Anyway, Mom just had to take a picture of the thermometer ... like it won't be as colder or colder again? Sometimes you just have to humor them.
Mom also took a picture of the backyard. We aren't sure if you can tell but all of the grass is covered with ice crystals. A little later in the morning, there were spots still in the shade that had ice crystals while the rest of them had melted. Mom didn't take a picture of that.
Once it warmed up, we went outside to enjoy the sunshine. Here are a collection of pictures taken yesterday. Mom decided our dog blog was short on dog pictures! Well, yeah! What other kind of pictures should be on a dog blog? A thermometer?
We hope you enjoyed the pictures! It was really nice outside!

More About the New Doghouse
Hello friends!
We are still here and still watching the building of our new doghouse. Mom says she will take pictures of us so you can see us but today she is only going to post on the other blog.

Escape is Cut Off
Hello Free World,
We are still in captivity. We did a check of the perimeter and found some weaknesses so this morning we exploited them. Sammy was the first to make an escape. He was almost immediately spotted on the other side of the fence. Mom used the lure of her sweet "come to Mommy" voice to entice him to come back. In the process, he inadvertently showed her the primary escape route. This is what she did to it...
Next Roxie and Andy escaped while Mom's attention was on blocking the primary escape route. It took special timing because she looked for us as she was walking between the fence line and the dirt pile. Finally, we saw our chance and slipped under the gate. She turned around and we were gone like the wind. But some sort of psychic Mommy Sense told her to walk toward the gate. We were hiding in the tall growth but somehow she spotted us. Roxie sacrificed her freedom for Andy's, so she distracted Mom by coming back slowly as Andy moved deeper into the underbrush.
Mom put Roxie back in the jail yard and went looking for Andy. Fortunately for Roxie, Mom did not realize which part was the escape route and she didn't block it off correctly. Roxie was able to make her escape again! She joined up with Andy and they started sniffing out the area. But, alas, Mom spotted them. To make matters worse, our other jailer, Aunt Bec, came outside and realized somedog had escaped. She helped Mom re-capture us and then Aunt Bec did this to the secondary escape route!
As you can see, our jailers are getting very serious about keeping us in the jail yard. If you send packages, please include wire cutters. We aren't sure we know how to use them but we understand they are necessary for getting through the fence. In the meantime we will continue to look for ways to dig out.

We live in a Stalag!
Help! We are under house arrest!
They are building our new doghouse next door and we have been going to inspect the work and snoopervise (thank you, Lorenza, we love that word!). Well, Mom and Aunt Bec said they are tired of having heart attacks every time they can't find us and then see us out by the cows. Can we help it if we are resourceful and can find every low spot under the fence?
Now that we feel like we live in a jail, it is really important for us to escape! The only thing going for this place is the meals ... and the treats ... and the sofa ... and our beds ... and petting ... and the heat (it was freezing outside this morning!).
(Stalag - German prison camp, at least it is German for our fine and distinguished heritage.)

And Our Secret Is ...
... uuhhhmmm ... oh, you probably won't be interested anyway.
You know Mom went to the doctor? Well, he took away the old wrist cast just as it was getting nice and smelly. Now she has a removable brace but the doctor told her to wear it all of the time. It seems that titanium strip he put in her hand is going to end up attached to her bone so she can't move things around too much right now. We think she has enough movement to pet us more but we aren't seeing much improvement. And when she does take that brace off (yeah that part about ALL of the time??), she sits in a chair so we can't sniff or lick - even though both activities promote healing!
It is unbelievably hot around here! We even saw where we are under a heat advisory. We decided to follow the health advice and stay indoors, drink plenty of fluids and not to over-exert ourselves. (Mom thinks she is funny. She said first you have to exert yourself before you are in danger of over-exerting yourself. Maybe she doesn't realize we can arrange to break her other ankle ...)
Mom said she wants to take some pictures but the heat, her crutches and only one good hand limit her capabilities. We are just glad she is typing for us again ... even if she is slower than ... heck, in this heat even the bugs are slow!
Oh yeah, that secret. Mom decided on a builder for the New Doghouse. She needs to get a construction loan next and then it is time to break ground!! Then we will have pictures of empty concrete pads and bare sticks to post on the other blog. Woohoo! We can tell it's going to be exciting - NOT. Okay so it wasn't a great secret but once our new doghouse is built, we get all of our stuff back out of storage. Mom has a BIG box of dog toys so the sooner the better!!
