Doguments

Ellie — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 19:28:34 +0000

Well Dad Slobbie is just so jealous of me that we are getting into verbal arguments. She just cannot stand when G_Mom pays attention to me. We all have our own time with G_Mom and mine is when we settled down on the couch. I am not allowed on the couch but I sit and [...]

Canine Remedial Listening Classes

Ellie — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 15:54:22 +0000

Hi Dad,

G_Mom said I should tell you that I am attending canine remedial listening classes. I am not stupid and have a rather large canine vocabulary, however I have an excellent case of selective listening, which apparently is very frustrating to humans.

Fortunately I did not have any privileges taken away. I am not [...]

Snowland

Ellie — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 20:47:02 +0000

Hi Dad,

Thanks for the food and treats! Sorry I haven’t written. Just been really busy dealing with winter. Guess G_Mom told you we were all sick and just staying in bed for several days. Better now! I hurt my thigh doing Wii Yoga, so I had to behave for several days. It really fooled [...]

The Big Pinecone BUST

Ellie — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 14:11:26 +0000

Dear Dad,

Is Maine not the Pine Tree State? So why am I in trouble for eating pinecones? Look Dad they are everywhere in my reach at G-Mom’s house. What the big deal? They are free! The big deal is apparently that G_Mom has scented these Pinecones to make the house smell less dog like, [...]

Maine-cation resumes

Ellie — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 17:04:53 +0000

Hi Dad,

Ellie here. Well I do miss you but I am having a great time. I had a blast last night with Harlow. G_Mom was on the phone with Kt and Harlow attacked me from under the coffee table…it was so much fun. I was barking at her and she was swatting me with [...]

I Got Broomed!

Ellie — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 13:59:02 +0000

Hi Dad,

Ellie here.

Well most of my canine friends get groomed, but not me, I get BROOMED!

Not sure if this is a Maine cultural tradition but G_Mom sweeps me every day now and I love it. I have my very own broom. G_Mom even explained the difference between brooms to me. I cannot [...]

Dog Days and Earl’s Coming To Visit

Ellie — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:17:48 +0000

Dad this weather is unbelievable. There is a heat advisory out and we are not allowed to leave the air-conditioned room except for bathroom and food breaks. Now I hear G-Mom talking about some guy named Earl coming to visit. It is way too hot to entertain. All of the shades and blinds are pulled [...]

Fan or Wood Stove…That’s Maine

Ellie — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 14:00:38 +0000

Well Dad last night I got to lounge in front of the wood stove! Two days ago I was in front of my fan. A cold northeast wind blew in and even I have to admit it was chilly. Of course G_MOM had just plucked out my entire coat, so I was a lot lighter [...]

BYE JOSH and GOOD LUCK!

Ellie — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 14:31:10 +0000

Dad,

Hope you are well. It has been so hot and humid here and G_Mom keeps us in the air conditioned bedroom, so I cannot get to the computer! However I figured out how to open the door and last night we got caught. G_Mom came home and we did not hear her….OH BOY…trouble in [...]

Life in Batty Maine

Ellie — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 12:50:16 +0000

OK Dad, in less than one week I have endured tornadoes and a bat in the house. Is this really “the way life should be”?

This place is nuts! It took two policemen an hour to get the same bat out last night. We came in from being outside around 9 o’clock and Slobbie spotted [...]

Tornados Not Snow Hit Maine

Ellie — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:36:18 +0000

Hi Dad,

Did you ever spend time in a bath tub with three dogs, and a cat? Not fun let me tell you…we were all scared…even me! Below is the headline from the Portland Press Herald.

Explosive thunderstorms that triggered tornados throughout southern Maine knocked down trees and power lines, flooded streets and damaged homes [...]

FAN……….tastic

Ellie — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:14:01 +0000

Hi Dad,

Sorry I have not written but I have been busy with the girls catching up on the family gossip. Days just fly by….. G_Mom bought me my own box fan. She says anybody that has to wear a coat like mine in this heat and humidity deserves their own fan. Slobbie is really [...]

Hot Dog

Ellie — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 17:41:41 +0000

Dad,

I am writing this blog from G_Mom’s air-conditioned bedroom. We are only allowed out of this room to pee/poop and eat. Eating time has been changed to 7:30 pm when it is cooler outside. Because G_Mom has to water the gardens, we are allowed to stay out for 20 minutes after eating. Also in [...]

My Maine Vet Visit

Ellie — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 18:06:05 +0000

Phew! Have you ever gone to the vet’s office with three dogs? Yap! Yap! Apparently Dad, it was time for my March visit with the vet. I am in great health with a slight tumor under my right eye lid that needs to be monitored over the coming years to make sure it does not [...]

Blow’ In The Wind

Ellie — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 20:25:14 +0000

Dad, have to make this quick…power goes on and off! We are also surrounded by flood water. This has been an unbelievable 24 hours. 60-70 miles an hour winds and things blowing everywhere and hitting the house. Don’t worry I protected everyone. G_Mom made us go out in the wind and rain to use the [...]

Slobbie – Gate

Ellie — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:40:38 +0000

Well Dad I think I am off the Doggie Crap List. Why you ask? Well I was sick and tired of hearing G_Mom give Slobbie the same lecture every single morning that G-Mom works.

Each work day, G_Mom comes out of her room after getting dressed for work and that is my clue to go [...]

EXTRA! EXTRA! Bow Wow ‘Mpics Halted!

Ellie — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 13:45:28 +0000

Oh Crap, Dad I got caught so you should be expecting the dreaded phone call! My misbehavior has nothing to do with the BOW WOW Olympics, but instead not paying attention when I have been diabolical!

So here is my version of what happened. We had a great day yesterday and put into place foolproof [...]

Bow Wow ‘Mpics

Ellie — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 13:59:13 +0000

Wii (get the joke Dad?) have been having the BOW WOW mpics each day when G_Mom goes to work. So far I have won the most Gold…are you surprised? What a stitch this whole sports spectacular has been. Have you ever seen dogs trying to do Yoga? The tree pose is particularly hysterical. We have [...]

Snofest in Greenville, Maine

Ellie — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:30:51 +0000

Kicking off Snofest in Greenville, Maine this International event pits powerful canine athletes like me, ELLIE, and our mushers against the legendary Maine snow and cold of winter!! All of the teams get all the help necessary from local people that have as much enthusiasm and fun as all of us dogs and our drivers. [...]

Snowcationland

Ellie — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:46:50 +0000

Hi Dad,

Just woke up form a nap and it is still snowing! It stopped for a little while last night but this is great. SNOWCATIONLAND. G-Mom promised that I would have snow and she delivered. Slobbie says that G_Mom has nothing to do with getting it to snow. She says that Kevin Mannix makes [...]

Who Knew?

Ellie — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:13:37 +0000

Apparently Dad, pinecones are not for chewing. You never told me, although I should have surmised that if Slobbie and Cart did not take the pinecones off the table they must not be for us to use/chew. G-Mom caught me red pawed. Slobbie and Cart were in the bedroom with her and I was just [...]

Busted…Doggie Porn?

Ellie — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:24:30 +0000

Dad, I am in big trouble and have had my computer privileges removed for an unspecified amount of time. G-Mom caught me surfing the net and I was looking at a web site called whitehouse.com for doggies. Honest Dad, I thought I was reading about the White house, you know where the President and his [...]

PORTLAND WHERE? UT OH!

Ellie — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:04:26 +0000

Dad, apparently there are two cities named Portland and I am not sure what happened, but here are the details. I remember seeing Katie and being very, very excited. She petted and petted me and got off much more loose hair, much to G_Mom’s dismay. You know how she hates dog hair anywhere but on [...]

Hair Today…Gone Tomorrow

Ellie — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:37:10 +0000

…..Okay Dad……..G_Mom left the computer on again and I read your reply to my note about Halloween. We all know that G_Mom is a bit eccentric but sugar and too many milk products are not good for you! Remember Dad that you can be very hyper. I notice however that she does buy Peanut Butter [...]

BOO HOOOOOOOO History

Ellie — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:59:40 +0000

Okay Dad, it appears as if there is yet another lapse in my popular culture education. All of a sudden there is a pumpkin in the house with colored leaves and everything is orange! I also noticed, when walking with G-Mom, the orange lights and orange decorations. I knew it is too early for Christmas, [...]
