HOT DOGS!

Slobbie — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 12:55:22 +0000

Hi Ellie,

Slobbie and Cart writing to say “Hi”. We miss you!

Yes there is far less dog hair around but we cannot get out of rooms without you opening the doors for us. We have been in the air conditioned bedroom for days. It was great. We did not want to leave the cool [...]

Maine Canine News

Slobbie — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 14:26:22 +0000

Hi Ellie,

Happy Passover! Just had some Matzo..it was plain..would have preferred some peanut butter with it.

Sorry it has taken so long to write but I cannot get to the computer without you being here. Cart and I miss you and so does Harlow. She says you were so much fun to annoy and [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

DEPRESSION OVER!

Ellie — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 12:27:48 +0000

Hi Dad, My Doggie Depression is finally over. I got into big trouble this morning marking the end of this bout of Depression!

G_Mom says I have to have at least 15 minutes of sun a day for Vitamin D and that I should be outside for at least one hour if the weather is [...]

Dog Days of Summer in Maine

Mcartney — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:57:10 +0000

Slobbie let me use the computer today while MOM is at work. It is too hot for her to move from the front of the fan. I miss you! It has finally gotten warm here and we are just not used to it. MOM will not put in the air conditioner, so we sit in [...]

Slobbie

Nathan — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 16:35:29 +0000

My given name is Slowbow and I am a beautiful buff cocker spaniel that lives in Maine. However my friends call me Slobbie. My days are fairly predictable but busy. Originally I was an only dog, but my mother felt I needed a sibling because being an only dog was spoiling me. So we adopted [...]

Paxil and Therapy

Mcartney — Thu, 21 May 2009 19:25:49 +0000

Hi Ells, This is McCartney…Cart……. and Mom is helping me to write to you. I am clinically depressed because you are gone and taking Doggie Paxel twice a day. You made Slobbie tolerable but I really, really miss you. Mom said I can get a hair cut so I can cheer up but I had [...]

How are U?

Slobbie — Wed, 20 May 2009 14:30:42 +0000

Hi Ellie, What’s waggin? Well Cart and I miss you. I am writing because Cart still has educational delays that Mom has not corrected. I am the only one with the formal training to write to you. Any way, nothing too new here. We did get back our marrow bones after you left…don’t think you [...]

UT OH

Ellie — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 18:28:38 +0000

So Dad I was on G_Mom’s bed yesterday afternoon, just looking out the window at the rain……..it was absolutely pouring……..when I saw a squirrel. I do not know what possessed me when I jumped off the bed, over Slobbie, Cart a table and a plant. Did you know that I can jump like a Giselle? [...]

Dunkin Doughnuts

Ellie — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 20:03:57 +0000

Hi Dad, Sorry for not writing sooner but it has been a busy week, family issues and life. Anyway G-Mom says you got my photos after my SPA day Saturday. Wow, personal maintenance was never so much fun. I think G-Mom scared them so they gave me lots of extra attention. The old scam works [...]

We Were Right, er Left!

Nathan — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 22:01:25 +0000

HAHAHAHA – Do a little dance, we were right:

After offering a bleak assessment of the Bush administration’s strategy in Iraq, Senator Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, the ranking Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, said today that he was urging lawmakers and President Bush to change course quickly to protect a further erosion of [...]

Thanksgiving

Nathan — Thu, 23 Nov 2006 02:12:02 +0000

I walked out of my office tonight at about 7 with thoughts of the holiday on my mind. As I walked by starbucks I saw the decrepit old homeless lady I frequently see in the area. It is cold and raining so she is inside reciting names and numbers from an old phone book. I [...]

All Moved!

Nathan — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 02:33:07 +0000

As you can see I have moved my blog. This is part of clearing out for a move at my friend Channing’s company, where he hosted all my ‘crap’ for many years. Thank you Channing and Silver Dog! I have changed the format of my blog. I am not 100% sold on this layout and [...]

MAD DOG!!!! RUN!!!!!

Nathan — Thu, 31 Aug 2006 16:46:54 +0000

Yoma 84a: Tips for encountering a mad dog:

Kill it with something thrown. If it touches you, remove your clothing and run. If it bites you, you will die. But you can also skin a male polecat, write something on the skin, bury your clothing for a year in a graveyard. After a year, burn [...]

A Return to Prague

Nathan — Sat, 14 Feb 2004 04:43:23 +0000

The trip was originally going to be Anthony, Roy, Dan and me, but circumstances dictated that only Dan and I would be able to go. The day of departure came and we had arranged to meet at 11 Madison Park for lunch, hop in the car to JFK, and be off for a great weekend [...]
