Friday Faces

It was a very, very, very wet day here in Overland Park yesterday, and today was a very, very, very windy day. Now we could understand that the Momster didn't take us for a walk yesterday. But today none of the little grandbipeds were here so we were sure we would be getting a walk.

We both waited very patiently.

It looks pretty good out there to us.

It can't be that bad, Mom. Don't worry, we won't pull too much - we know you have a big ouchie (we can't help it if you don't know enough to move your big feet when you are climbing the stairs).

See, Mom. I am out here and look at how content I am.
Can't we go for a walk?

I have so much energy to burn, Mom. Much better for you to take me for a walk than to endanger these nice pillows. No, that was not meant to be a threat at all.

We're still waiting. . . . . . . .

Pretty please?

Hey Phantom, I think she is thinking about it.

Did somebody say "WALK"? I am all ears.

We are ready. Just get the leashes. OK, and the flashy box too if that is what it takes.

And we are happy to tell you that we DID get a walk AND no flashy box shots because it was too windy for the Momster to handle the leashes, the wind, and the camera.

Now we want to tell you about the Cutest Bear Photo Contest that Mack and Sally Ann are hosting. Here is the scoop:

On November 10, 2009, Sally Ann birthday and a date very near the date three years ago Sylvie got sick, the polls will close.
You will win a donation for $20.00 to the Atlanta Humane society, and a birthday dog toy for you, which will be sent to your house.
There will be a $10.00 donation, and a birthday dog toy that will be sent to your home;as, a second place.

So, in short, y'all vote, there is a first and second place. The money you win will go to the humane society(where Queen Sylvie and Princess Sally Ann came from), as a donation in your name to the humane society, and you will win a small token toy.

The pictures must have you and a bear in it. There can be a human, but only in the background.

If you click here and scroll down through Mack and Sally Ann's post, you can see the entrants that you can vote for at the end. There are lots of really cute bears and pups. The fun part about this contest is that no matter who wins, a humane society will benefit.

Here are the three pics we submitted. Hope you like them. Please do go visit Mack and Sally Ann and make your choice. Thanks.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and a Happy Howloween.

Rerun Wednesday for Anna

Beautiful Anna the GSD is having a Spectacular-Tongue-Tacular Contest. Mom says we really aren't very good at showing our tongues except when we look really silly. But we did find a few pics that you have seen before, and we let her get a couple of new ones. And just for fun we added a really funny one. Be sure to go visit Anna's blog to see all the tongue shots.

And we just had to include one of the princess.

And then one more - Mom's favorite of her sweet Dakota.

And Anna, here is one just for fun - Brady Bear's big brother Tyler.

Woos, Phantom and Thunder, and Dakota in spirit

It's Halloween Week - are you all ready to have a spooktacular time? Here is a night time photo Mom got of that big scary balloon up the street.


In the spirit of having fun, Thunder decided (well, sort of after Mom bribed him) to partake in some of the blogger contests. Hansel is hosting one here. (You will have to click on the link at the word "here" because Mom didn't get the code for the picture below.)



You can visit the Halloween Spooktacular page and see Thunder in all his knightly glory. Please visit this fun contest and leave a comment. Hansel will determine who makes it to the voting portion based on the number of comments a particular entrant receives. Then there will be a time for voting. So please do leave a comment at Hansel's Halloween Spooktacular page for Thunder's entry.

We are sure that Kat will love her Knight in Shining Armor.

And of course, in true Siberian spirit, TD was not terribly happy about his photoshooot.

Do I really have to hold the sword? How am I going to do that with no working thumbs?

OK, but I won't look (how is this, Martha and Bailey?).

I think I might be losing my helmet.

Thunder will be appearing in another contest too but we will tell you about that one in another post.

Sentry Duty on Sunday

These photos were taken from inside, please excuse the quality. The pups were happy to have a nice morning outside and each took up their positions as yard guards.

Both checking out the south quadrant.

Phantom looking more closely.

Now for the north side.

Looking very serious and intent.

A slight change of location to check out things from a different angle.

OK, work detail is done. Now it looks like it might be the humans turn to take care of their work with these leaves.

. . . while I do THIS.

Saturday's Features

So we were out on one of our strolls the other day and spotted another Halloween House in our neighborhood.

This scene reminded us that the other day Ginger Jasper told us about a monster he found on his back - you can see the monster here. The next day GJ was quite relieved because his Dad had managed to get rid of the "dreaded spider". Well, GJ, upon closer examination of the shrubs at this house, we think the monster has moved his web to Overland Park - LOOK!!!

That's one scary-looking monster spider - wonder what he feeds on. And we bet Ginger Jasper is happy this spider has crossed the big pond.

We missed doing Norwood's Eyewatch yesterday but we did see that some of our furiends, like The Thundering Herd and Khyra, have been showing you some closeup shots. Mom thought it would be fun to play along too.

You know, Mom - I am going to make you pay for this - hope you can find those chicken sticks that I saw you hide on the top shelf in that closet.

And you know how I feel about that flashy beast - do you want me to turn on my spooky eyes for all your closeups? If not, then get me some more of those tasty salmon skin rolls.

OK, boys, you win. Mom is sure she can accommodate your demands - or are they requests and wishes?

Thunder is up first.

TD from the left side.

TD's BIG ear.

The right side - upside down.

Almost a smile or that a sneer?

A closeup snooter shot.

Enough already, just give me one of those lipsmacking chicken sticks.

Will Phantom cooperate?

From the right.

Then the left with a little slurp.
Just reminding the Momster that there is a payoff when this is done.

Phantom's little but furry ears.

The nose knows.

Bug eyes and snooter sniffing for my salmon treat.

I can almost taste it.

How can she turn down this face?

Hope you enjoyed our "features". Mom is always good on her word so we are off now to get our treats.

Oh, wait, before we go, here is one more closeup we know you will love.
