Last but not least, hallo Pouncey in a sweater!

Pouncey was not blessed with the chunk or thick fur that Sugarhoney was blessed with, and does not seem to enjoy the snow as much as she does, but hopefully this will change with his ChillyDog squirrel cowichan sweater!

WTF Wednesday: Cowboy Bulldog, Sucking Pillows


Hello Wednesday! Hello WTF!

I haven't had much time for thrifting in the past week, so here are a few WTF videos I've collected from cyberspace: The Renewed Mind Is the Key:

This is from 2 weeks ago 2 miles away from here - black bear enters kitchen, eats hershey kisses, walks down to bathroom, home owner calmly films -

Last but not least, here is Pouncey, who at 4 years old, still sucks on pillows if he goes 2 days without a hike. Here he's made a bosom from his dog bed and sucked on it for a half hour. 

pouncey sucks

sugarspay


our favorite little dumptruck went under the knife yesterday.

she went through one heat in august, and that was plenty. there are no sugarpuppies in our future.


sugar spay

she did great in her surgery, and was doing okay once we came home, though she was pacing around whimpering until she settled in this spot to watch the game with her dad.

recovering from spay

she is expected to make a full recovery, and will have stitches for the next two weeks, during which time she is to be kept dry and calm. all we can do is try on that one!

way to go sugarsnickers!

happy birthday, sugarhoney!


sugarhoney tot


today is the day our little sugarsnickers turns 1. it's also the day nachodoggy would have turned 12.

we were kind of hoping for a mini-nacho, and she has kind of delivered.

she does a couple things that nacho did, that the other dogs do not do.

she runs right down to the river and swims in circles in the exact same spot nacho used to do it. 

sugarhoney swim in circles


(see nacho swim in circles)

the other dogs wait on the bank until we throw something. nacho and sugar really seem to enjoy swimming, and get in for the joy of swimming.

if she is too hot on a hike, she lies down.

sugar cooling her underside


(nacho did the same thing)

of course, she is her own dog. she is so round, it's like she's made out of beach balls. i don't know if it's a female dog thing, but to me she is the shape of the olympic rings.

sugarhoney round

she is in love with pouncey. she follows him everywhere. she is constantly thinking of new and creative ways to vie for his attention. 

who bit my tail


she gets herself uphill from him and lets loose.

heeeey pouncey

she is not afraid to jump on the couch for a snuggle.

snugs


she is calm and gentle, she wags her tail when she meets new dogs and people, and she will come, sit, and lie down when she feels like it.

mainly she is just a little skunk who fits in riiiiight there.

three happy dogs

happy birthday, sugarchunks! today you will celebrate with a meatball!

deja vu daily puppy!


this is a momentous day for 2 reasons: 1) i survived; and 2) the daily puppy re-ran pouncey as their puppy of the day!

sitting in 9th grade biology class, we were talking about diabetes and the teacher mentioned sufferers may have a shortened lifespan. at this moment i was struck with the feeling i, myself, diabetes-free, would die at 38. i have not obsessed over this, but i have remembered it vaguely from time to time for the past 23 years. i am glad to say my premonition was horseshit! i made it! 

now go over to the daily puppy and give pouncey 11 biscuits...again.

eli slap in the face pouncey tail

happy 3rd birthday, pouncey!

yesterday pouncey turned the ripe old age of 3!

happy 3rd birthday pouncey!

21 in dog years. he is slowly but surely turning into a right decent pet - he has calmed down ever so slightly, and is a very patient brother for sugarhoney.

eli had a blast at the party.

birthday pouncey eli

the party consisted mainly of pouncey eating salmon. 

sugar pouncey eli birthday



happy birthday, pounce-swah, joyeux anniversaire! (upon learning he is the color of a french baguette a few months ago, he instantly developed a french accent and insists on being called pounsoir.)

WTF Wednesday: Sugarstitches, Fake Frat, Dental Assisting


It's Wednesday, let's WTF!

I have survived almost 4 decades without needing stitches. This changed on Monday as I was hit by a sugarfreight train.

hit by a sugarfreight train

While walking down a muddy hill, a 60 lb furry dumptruck sprinted by, knocking both of my feet out from under me, sending me flying, and I landed flat on my back and wrist.

did i do that
Oooops, did I do that?

The blood spouted plentifully from that smiley face gash. 

We went to urgent care where the physician's assistant's assistant (it had to be his first day, ever) tried to numb it, but did not in fact numb it. He told me they had practiced on hot dogs.

sugarstitches

Some women brag about natural childbirth, i am bragging about natural stitches. There was no anesthesia, I felt every stitch! 

Here it is now with 4 stitches, healing up - it's my mousing hand, so I have to be careful. I also keep seeing it in my periphery which is causing me flashes of panic because it looks like a spider on my hand. Other than that, it's fine. 

sugarstitches
 
Moving along to a couple of vintage t-shirts I picked up last week.  First, this 60's football jersey with fake fraternity letters. Iy Phelta Thi. (Say it out loud).

iy phelta thi

Oh John, what a kidder.

iy phelta thi back

Last but not least this wearable tribute to the oft-underappreciated career that is Dental Assisting

Scraping gums - just like dancing on rainbows!

SNOWDAY!

They called for 5 inches, and we got 5 inches.  The dogs love it!



This is a different kinda snowball.

 
Sunrise on the snowy Swannanoa river.

 
I always dreamed of becoming a white lab.

 
Pouncey will get the ball, no matter what. 

 
Sugarhoney will stalk him on the bank, no matter what. 

 
Something on your nose, E.

 
Snow pounce!


Sugar heart tongue. 


Stay warm, amigos!

addicted to power

once again this year, we gleefully celebrated valentine's day with arby's. 

bag of arbys

power went out during a wild windstorm saturday at 830 pm, and it was restored at 5pm on sunday. generally i spent the outage railing against humanity, researching generators, calling duke power for updates every 15 minutes, scampering through neighbors' yards looking for signs of progress, rage-cleaning the stovetop, and going to creekside taphouse for many dranks.

sugarhoney spent the outage sitting like a human.

yoga sugarhoney

i hope everybody stays safe, snuggly, and warm during the forecasted ice storm!

widespread puppy


if you ever want to be popular, walk a puppy through the lobby of a westin hotel at 1 AM on new years eve.

we went to charlotte for widepsread panic on wednesday and sugarhoney came with us. she was the star of the city.


tongue out tuesday


while walking her past the nascar hall of fame, a cop drove by, leaned her full torso out the window, gave a thumbs up, and yelled "that is the best dog ever!"

kevin carried her on the elevator to avoid her scaring people in their fancy clothes.  a cop in the lobby saw this and said, "uh oh, is that dog too drunk to walk?"

dozens of people passing by stopped, turned around, and squealed "PUPPY!!!" to each other, asking to pet her. she just wagged her tail, cool as a cucumber.

one kind young man flyyyiiiiiing high on new years spirit on the full elevator grabbed her ears (lovingly), got nose to nose with her and yelled "YOU ARE JUST THE CUTEST LITTLE FUCKER!!!!!!"

the show was excellent, the band sounded great, the setlist was thoughtful, uplifting, and everybody was having a good time...



it was an awesome way to ring in the new year. 

best wishes for a healthy and happy 2015 to all!

WTF Wednesday: Castration, Swans, Opera


It's the last WTF Wednesday of the year - WTF?!

Let's begin with a billboard on Tunnel Road in East Asheville. 

dont castrate your best friend

Don't Castrate Your Best Friend! NoCastration.org. I will let you draw your own conclusions on this. I do see some validity. But then again...WTF?! 

Here is a fun golf game complete with 6 hazard trees. The only thing you need is a club! 


Anyone care for a mutant chicken wing? 

mutant wing

She looks way too happy to be giving a flu shot. 


Here's a lovely enormous beige swan sculpture which also holds your pens. 


Two pens. 

A wonderful 4 CD set of Opera for People Who Hate Opera. 

Surround sound, because if there's one thing you want when you're listening to music you hate, it's to be completely surrounded by the music you hate. 

Last but not least is Sugarrascal. She ran through the house with the toilet paper still attached to the wall, chewed a little pile into confetti, and finished with some chewing on Pouncey's food bowl on a dog bed.
