Santa Dog

Chubbs and I are really enjoying the holidays. Especially the part about settling in for a long winters nap.

Of course I have other official duties during Christmas.

I am glad I have Chubbs for a helper this year.

Geared up for a practice run.

I am beginning to think I should have taken Chubbs for more walks.

A Dog's Christmas Promises

Christmas is for humans, and I will not ruin the surprises by opening all their presents.

Christmas light bulbs, Christmas ornaments, Christmas stockings, and tinsel from the Christmas tree are not food.

I am the alpha dog, therefore I do not need to protect my new Christmas rawhide from the omega dog by taking it outside to eat when the wind chill is -10 F.

I will not demolish the Christmas tree and drag the string of lights out into the backyard through the doggy door.

I will not dive into the Christmas tree to get the candy canes (which I will eat -- paper and all).

I will not eat my Christmas doggie treats until after they're out of the stocking!

I will not even THINK about going underneath the Christmas tree and piddling on the dining room rug.

I will not get into a fight with the bigger dog next door, making my human have to call the vet's at Christmas.

I will not get tangled up in the Christmas tree lights and pull the tree down while trying to get at a cat through the conservatory window.

I will not pee on Grandma's Christmas presents that are under her tree as soon as we enter her house.

I will not pee on the Christmas tree.

I will not steal the neighbor's Christmas light bulbs.

The bowl underneath the Christmas tree is not a dog dish. I will not drink from it. It will make me sick.

It's Feeling More Like Christmas

Burrrrr

Don’t know about you, but I am a cold dog this week! I wish they would let me stay in the house during the day too. Oh well at least I have Chubbs to keep me company (warm).

Keeping with the Christmas spirit here are some things to keep your thoughts warm anyway.

Christmas Eve
From a Dogs Perspective

by Shel Silverstein

Tonight's my first night as a watchdog,
And here it is Christmas Eve.
The children are sleepin' all cozy upstairs,
While I'm guardin' the stockin's and tree.

What's THAT now . . . footsteps on the rooftop?
Could it be a cat or a mouse?
Who's THIS down the chimney?
A thief with a beard - And a big sack for robbin' the house?

I'm barkin'. . . I'm growlin' . . . I'm bitin' his butt.
He howls and jumps back in his sleigh.
I scared his strange horses, they leap in the air.
I've frightened the whole bunch away.

Now the house is all peaceful and quiet again,
The stockin's are safe as can be.
Won't the kiddies be glad when they wake up tomorrow . . .
And see how I've guarded the tree.

Here are a couple of my old favorites!

Let it snow - Sing it Dean-O………….

Here is a little something to help start the Christmas season.

Remember it's important to keep your Christmas tree watered. This is a demonstration of how fast a Christmas tree can burn.

Abby Reviews Bolt

Rating – 4 paws up!






Bolt is a great show that everyone will enjoy (even big kids).

Bolt is a dog that plays a heroic pup in a hit TV show and has some trouble recognizing that he is in fact not possessed of extraordinary powers beyond the ability to lick his own nether regions. This becomes something of a hindrance when he is accidentally shipped from Hollywood to New York City. From there he has to make his way home with only the help of a mangy old cat (Mittens) and an overweight hamster (Rhino) in a plastic ball.

My favorite part is when Bolt gets to ride down the road with his head out the window. Come to think of it, that’s my favorite thing to do. Penny kind of reminds me of Kristen (I miss Kristen). I think Bolt looks a lot like Chubbs, but Chubbs doesn’t have a tail.

Happy Thanksgiving!

















A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is showing on the ABC network on Tuesday night (the 25th) at 7:00pm and again Thursday night (the 27th) at 7:00pm. I think I will watch it both times. Snoopy is my favorite!

Take time to be thankful for our farmers and ranchers.

What I Like About Texas

Dog Wit & Wisdom

"Political Correctness” is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Life is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Only the Lead Dog gets a change of scenery.

Ahhhhh I Like Texas!

Growl all day & you’ll feel dog tired at night.

If you can’t win, make the fellow ahead of you break the record.

Prosperity makes friends and adversity tries them.

Every dog is entitled to one bite.

A taxpayer is someone who does not have to pass a Civil Service Exam to work for the government.

Are we sure it’s this exit?

A little relief.

A View From Down Under


Here are some political cartoons from Australia. It may be easer to see from down under. It’s my usual vantage point!
















Truth In Bumper Stickers


















What Comes Around - Goes Around and Around and Around

Some things never change... "The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." -- Cicero , 55 B.C.






The Wisdom of a Child

Barack Obama was seated next to a little girl on an airplane He turned to her and said, 'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.'

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to Obama, "What would you like to talk about?''

'Oh, I don't know,' said Obama. 'How about what changes I should make to America?' and he smiles.

'OK, ' she said. 'That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass.Why do you suppose that is?

'Obama, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'

To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified to change America when you don't know shit?'


Southern Home Security
1. Go to a second-hand store and buy a pair of men's used size 14-16 work boots.
2. Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Guns and Ammo Magazine.
3. Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazines.
4. Leave a note on your door that reads:
Hey Bubba, Me, Big Jim, Duke and Slim went for more ammunition.Back in an hour. Don't mess with the pit bulls - they attacked the mailman this morning and messed him up real bad. I don'tthink Killer took part in it but it was hard to tell from all the blood. Anyway, I locked all four of 'em in the house. Better wait outside.

Hearing Problems
An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.

The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again."

The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!"

Thunderstorms
One summer evening, during a violent thunderstorm, a mother was tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, "Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?"

The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can't dear," she said, "I have to sleep with Daddy."A long silence was broken at last by a shaken little voice saying, "The big sissy."

Farmer and the Airplane
A farmer and his wife went to a fair. The farmer was fascinated by the airplanes and asked a pilot how much a ride would cost. "$10 for 3 minutes," replied the pilot. "That's too much," said the farmer. The pilot thought for a second and then said, "I'll make you a deal. If you and your wife ride for 3 minutes without uttering a sound, the ride will be free. But if you make a sound, you'll have to pay $10." The farmer and his wife agreed and went for a wild ride. After they landed, the pilot said to the farmer, "I want to congratulate you for not making a sound. You are a brave man." "Maybe so," said the farmer, "But I gotta tell ya, I almost screamed when my wife fell out."

I think this would work just fine.

























Dog Wit & Wisdom
A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down.

Dogs need to sniff the ground; it's how they keep abreast of current events. The ground is a giant dog newspaper, containing all kinds of late-breaking dog news items, which, if they are especially urgent, are often continued in the next yard.

The scientific name for an animal that doesn't either run from or fight its enemies is lunch.

Squirrel Saves Forest

How Dogs and Men are the Same:

• Both take up too much space on the bed.
• Both have irrational fears about vacuum cleaning.
• Both mark their territory.
• Neither tells you what's bothering them.
• The smaller ones tend to be more nervous.
• Neither does any dishes.
• Neither of them notice when you get your hair cut.
• Both like dominance games.
• Both are suspicious of the postman.
• Neither understands what you see in cats.

Pals For Life

Pals for life : Toey and the plumber
Blind, deaf dog turns owner into 'biggest baby'
By Jon Mark Beiluemailto:Beiluejon.beilue@amarillo.com

Bobby Hollabaugh's wife Glenda and his two grown sons sometimes wonder what's gotten into him and his relationship with that dog. Hollabaugh sometimes wonders himself what's gotten into him.

"I can't really explain it," he said, "but I was totally smitten the first time I saw her."
Hollabaugh is the owner of H & H Plumbing. Toey is a 3½-year-old dachshund, slightly unusual in that she's not red or black, but spotted.

Oh, and blind and deaf, too. A dog that can't see or hear and a plumber may not sound like a match made in heaven, but try telling that to those who know the two.

"It's changed his life," Glenda said. "He used to be a grouchy old man, and now the dog has turned him into the biggest baby. He's like a big ol' kid. He loves it like a child. I can't tell you how much he loves that dog."
