Learning about music #2

Has been the longest time since Self has given all the people a singing lesson!  Self knows, that Self is the most best singer.  So here goes.  Following is a song that Self learned some of  last year.  Recently, self has learned more of the lyrics!

"Oh hi, oh low, oh yes, oh no,
a rock, a stick, a frisbee,
won't you throw it for me Cinty?"

See how Self is so excited for to chase the stick?  Even will chase all the rocks!  Just throw it!

"Oh hi, oh low, oh yes, oh no, 

Self met Reggie and Calypso,

Self wish they'd both find new homes!"

Self has met these dogs at the shelter.

Now, all the people, please to be singing!

Ode to a Dog

Your bed un-making skills are exceptional
It brings me great joy to see
Blankets all over the room, hanging off the bed, tangled in a hopeless pile.

I should leave you in my room with
Nothing to do all day more often.
Maybe if you would leave the cat food alone (Though I know it's cruel to leave it unguarded)

O, Dog!  O, Dog!  Indeed, it brings me great pleasure
To shake your excessive amounts of fur
Off the blankets, but still have to sleep
In a pile of your fuzz.

September in the Tweeter Land

Self has not intended to write none of the things.  In fact, self has many things in self's head.  But, self has been busy and doing many things and therefor always on the phone instead of the laptop.  Then Self talks to all the people on the Tweeter!  Here is what self has conversed about:

1. Self took a run in the large field with Wyatt and JC!  And then Self found an abandoned shoe!  Was then Self's most best friend and carried it everywhere.

2. Self went to dog park and met dog that is often not good with other dogs.  Because Sidekick needed to see how the other dog really behaved with other dogs.  Sidekick does this to Self ALL THE TIME and it is so most worst.  Self has been grouchy all the month, and this is why.  Self has thought over and over and become most unhappy about meeting other dogs.  ESPECIALLY GREAT DANES.

For the record, the other dog was not mean, just shy.

3. Onyx was back for a little while, because he owners were so most frustrating.  Soon was for Onyx to find a real committed home, but until then Self bossed him around so most.  And we had many sleepovers at house of Wyatt and JC and were so crazy that always kept Sidekick up.

4.  After keeping Sidekick up for the always, all got up so most early for walk before work.  Was beautiful sunrise.

5. Self chased all the squirrels!!!

6. Everything rained!  And there was water for to splash in and it was so most the best.

7. Self climbed a tall mountain with Sidekick and some of she friends.  But self ripped many a toenail and it was so most sore.

8. Self barked and barked and barked at the coyotes until Sidekick listened to Self and saved Deaf Cat from the outside!

9. Self took Sister Cookie on a hike with friends.  Sister Cookie went so most crazy for her age and was excited.  Then was sore in the evening.

10. Self saw Evil Stepmummy at end of August and has not seen she since!  Is so most the saddest.

(Self wishes it would just be a plain old shoot)

*Ahem* But on some days, Spy Cat is so most beautiful.  And so most silly!

Also, Sidekick has fish tanks now.  Clarissa loves for to watch the fish.  A Siamese Fighting fish and a bunch of female guppies.

But more than she loves to watch the fish, she loves to be crazy with toys.

Though Penny is gone, a Puppy comes back

As all the people know, was once a time when there was many an infestation in the house.  Was lucky, that come a few months, all the infestations grew into puppies and found new homes.

Most unfortunate, that 2 weeks after Penny went, was a call received from owners of Onyx.  Was family changes, said they, and would not have time for him.  Was a most devastating decision.  So back he came!

Oh, boy.  Self was nervous at first.  When last saw Onyx, was the most annoying puppy!  But soon, self saw, that in 7 months, he changed a lot.

 He was fun to hike with

 He went to the Farmers Market and sat most nice and calm

 He could play at park and with all the doggy friends

 He was calm... except for when he was crazy!

Yes, self decided to have all the fun with Onyx.  Plenty of wrestle and chase and tug.  Sidekick say, he have the most best personality.  Snuggly, confident, able to interact with all the people and all the dogs.  Possibly service dog material.  Definitely family material and could go to home with all the people.

Was just starting to get so most used to Onyx in the house.  He so most better than Penny, for Onyx would play all the day.

But then, good news!  Old family thought about it.  Was still having bad family issues but, sad to miss Onyx.  Sat down, and thought and thought and thought, and wanted to adopt back!  Will keep forever.

During this time, also went to visit a few of the other infestations.  Here is Topaz, now Ianto (like Sidekick owns a bird named Ianto!)

And here is Onyx, playing with Opal (now Tess!)

A new home for Penny-Bean

As all the people know, there has been a Squatter in house of self for many a time.  Always was she spending time raising infestations, and cuddling with Sidekick, and coming for walks with.  Was so most ready for she to get out of the house.

Was many a places to try to find a home for Penny.  But was difficult, for Penny is a pitbull.  She so most nice pitbull, like most are.  But still, people who would have been great homes for her were frightened by her looks.

Luckily, along came a family who did not care!  Now Penny has 3 boy 2-legged puppies with to play, and many many space of land to run in, and a cat to ignore.  And a hat to wear for always.

Congratulations, Miss Penny!  Please to be writing... but never coming back!

Edit 8/14/13: A few more pictures from her last day with pack!

 She shows off her silly ears

 She snuggles

 She makes funny faces

She has a nose... but I think all the people already knew this.

Sidekick Note:  Still trying to catch up on the important happenings.  Penny has been happy in her home for about a month now!

Self was right to be nervous.

What has Sidekick done?!  And why?!  Was so nice for to have a mostly empty house.  Only with self and Penny, and Penny and self mostly can just get along.  But then, Sidekick had to add these!

A little black labrablur 

Penny was excited for to have babies again.  She played and played and played.

 And they tried to nurse which was cute but sad

 Names of Cossack and Czar

And then there were three.  Little Russell was found all by his lonesome and only 5 weeks of old.  Other pups were six weeks of old, so the thought was, what is one more!  Little Russell can have some brothers.  And brothers they became.

 

 The most snuggle love with Sister of Sidekick

 Clean, shavings-filled pen!  So most best for ease of cleaning.

 Hallo?

And then there were 6... for labrabundles had siblings, of which were in another foster home.  The cats, they were not fans of the puppies.  Self is neither fans of the puppies, so self does not see why puppies had to come.  But so they did.

Was soon enough, that the labrapups and Russell were old enough for their neuter!  So off they toddled.  But what to do with so most puppies?  Small town and small shelter would have a hard time finding homes in a nice, speedy manner.

A decision was made!  All the puppies were for to go to Colorado to find brand new homes!  And off they went.  Good bye puppies, and good riddance!

Sidekick Note: We had these puppies for the first two and a half weeks in July.  It was so busy, there was no time for an update!  Now, we finally have internet at our house so Vertigo and I are hoping to try and continue with more regular updates... and there are many updates around here to be had!  Regardless, no matter how little we post we never intend to go fully off the grid... we might just have less frequent posts occasionally.
