Get Fit

Hey Roo!

We haven't been keeping up with everybody's blogs as much as we like because there is a new toy in our house. And of course, we have to help our humans learn how to use it properly and that has taken a lot of our time over the last few days.

Some of you may have one in your house. It is called a "Wii", and it has a friend called "balance board". Our huMom got it for the Big Man for Christmas, but she uses it more than he does. As you might not be surprised to hear, our assistance has been required on several occassions.

First, we had to make sure that the yoga mat was properly haired prior to use.

Next, I had to demonstrate how to properly stand on the balance board for maximum efficiency (ahem... Maebe's tail got in the way of a great shot).

We don't have a pic of this, but our huMom had a lot of trouble with the "Down Dog" yoga pose. We don't understand how this could be so difficult. But to get our huMom in the correct pawsition, we both had to lick her face constantly throughout the entire pose until it was over. We got confirmation from the Wii that our help was very successful, since it ranked huMom's performance "Yoga Master". What would she do without us?

Some of our Christmas Loot

Hey Hey, it's Maebe Baebe!
We got some great stuff for Christmas.

First, I got this great hibiscus squeaky dog. Kayla tried to steal it from me...
But of course, I emerged victorious.
Kayla got this great gift from "Granma" and Nell:

And the Big Man got this little helicopter that Kayla tried to destroy (it's filmed sideways...blame the stoopid human):

We Remember

Hey Roo!

Tonight is the winter solstice. Seems like winter got here about a week ago though! It is a special night because we remember all the Sibes that are north of the Rainbow Bridge. The Siberian Husky Memorial Candle Ceremony takes place tonight at 8 pm wherever you live. Tonight there are over 240 Sibes on the list. We wish all of these Siberian Huskies Godspeed, and a Swift Trail. Our humans' first Sibes, Rex and Sheena, are on the list tonight. Here are a few pics of them:

Rex and Sheena in the snow

Rex and Sheena Puppy Shot (first day)

We have our candles lit for you, Rex and Sheena.

Those Lying Liars...

Hey Hey, it's Maebe Baebe!

Well, the humans cannot predict the weather. Wanna know how much snow we got at our house Wednesday night?

Zero inches.

That's right. It was a few degrees too warm, so we got lots of rain, and a little mixed snow and rain. Our friends on the south side of the valley got snow. But we got nothing but cold, wet rain.

If that wasn't bad enough, our huMom kept teasing us. She would throw open the door and ask "is it snowing yet?", so of course we had to run outside to check and we just got rained on. And this happened again, and again, and again. Hummmph.

Now it's just cold. Well, by Vegas standards anyway. It was 31 degrees when we got up this morning. Just another boring day around the house...
...and Kayla is just nibbling her leg...
So that's my story, woo a'tcha later! Maebe

Happy Day Before Thanksgiving!

Hey Roo!

Happy "The Day Before Thanksgiving"! On "The Day Before Thanksgiving" four years ago, our humans made their lives complete by bringing us into their home. Here are a couple pics from that day:
Kayla Puppy

Maebe meets Sheena


We think our humans are doing a poor job of celebrating. No presents, just a greenie and biscuits. No dog park because it rained really hard today. And we are being ignored because they are busy packing for their vacation. Here we are glaring at huMom.

They better bring us home some cool presents!!
See ya later! Hope everypuppy has an awesome Thanksgiving.

Embarrassment

Hey Roo!

Today we talk football. And only because there's biscuits involved.

Our huMom went to the University of Washington, so she thinks that makes her a husky (Yeah right... their mascot is really a MAL!!!). She and the big man had season tickets during the 1991 football season when they pretty much steamrolled over their opponents. But lately, her beloved Huskies has been playing more like a steaming turd.

Today was to be the day for redemption. The Apple Cup, Washington vs Washington State. Known this year, however, as the Apple Core Cup, since for both of these teams, the meat seems to be missing from the apple. One win between both teams. But to a Husky fan, a win over WSU can make up for all other losses.

The tradition is that we get biscuits with every touchdown. Let's just say we each got 1 biscuit. And we lost in double overtime 13-16. Another sad day for the purple and gold. That makes us 0-11 and we look forward to getting our butts kicked at Cal next week. Lame! Lame! Lame! Lame!

Abandonment

Hey Hey, it's Maebe Baebe!

I was poking around cyberspace and took a glimpse at huMom's blog. She hardly ever posts anything there but I saw something about her going here:

View from Lanai, Hana Maui
Hmmmm... what is this place? Do we get to to to the ocean like the Thundering Herd just did?


So I did a little investigating and no... we don't get to go to the ocean. HuMom says "we get to go to the doggie hotel" while her and the big man get on a plane and go to Hawaii. For 9 whole days. That's not fair!!!!

We remember the doggie hotel. Oh yes, it's noisy, there's lots of other doggies there yapping away at nothing, there's only a little play time, and we get *gasp* b-a-t-h-s at the end!!! So starting next Friday, woo may not see any posts from us for awhile. I begin to plot my revenge.

So that's my story, woo a'tcha later! Maebe

Picture with our HuMom

Hey Roo!
The Big Man got a new Blackberry Bold phone and for the first picture took this picture of us and our huMom. It's a little blurry due to my tongue action on Maebe's teeth (she had some food stuck in there). We got some "pizza bones" too. Yummy!!

Fun in the Crate

Hey Hey, it's Maebe Baebe!

I was playin' around with Kayla and I decided to check out my crate. I like to run in and mess around with my pillow and make lots of noise in here. Usually I run back out when huMom comes in with the camera, but this time she caught me by surprise.

You know, it IS kinda cozy in here!
So that's my story, woo a'tcha later! Maebe

WOO WOO WOO!!!

Hey Roo!

We miss our buddies!! Our huMom needs some serious remedial training. When was our last post??? And we are so far behind reading our friends' blogs it isn't even funny.

So what is her excuse? Something called "bizzy season". She claims that she is too busy packing orders and keeping up her running and taking care of our basic needs to transcribe our blogs. Meanwhile, we continue to be assaulted by warm weather. It was almost 80 degrees today - on November 17!! That's just not right. Here is a recent pic of us in our habitat:

We're through cutting huMom slack. She will edit our pics and vids and start posting them again!! We want to share our Halloween vids. No, we didn't get dressed up thank WOO!! We had a special greeting for all the trick-or-treaters that only us huskies can give!! Also, we got a pawesome award from Kat and Steve. Thanks guys! More to come in a future post.

Huffle and Uncle Jeff Visits!!

Hey Roo!
Our huMom has been neglecting us. Fortunately, Huffle stopped by to visit last week and we had so much fun!! But as they say, what happens in Vegas STAYS IN VEGAS!!

Then HuMom disappeared for awhile, but she came back with a very special human, uncle Jeff!!
We gave him the standard greeting. Lots of kisses....By now we are taking it easy on him. HuMom missed the pic of me giving him a big hug (on his back with my paws on his shoulders). Oh well!
Then huMom disappeared again for FIVE DAYS!!! Here is the pic that kicked off her trip: We are just glad she found her way back home...

Heart Walk

Hey Roo!

HuMom took me on a very special walk today! We pawticipated in the Las Vegas Heart Walk which raises funds for the American Heart Association. We walked in honor of huMom's Uncle James and Grandpa Pete - sadly, they each passed away after having a heart attack not too long ago.

It was a very nice walk. Today is the coolest day of fall so far - it was only about 50 degrees this morning and it was really windy. So I didn't get hot. HuMom was so happy that I did my biz before leaving the house. She remembers one year during the walk when Sheena pooped in the middle of the sidewalk right in front of a group of senior executives from the company where she works. I did huMom proud and was very well behaved on the walk (except when I tried to trip someone to meet a nice Rotty!)

HuMom forgot to take a pic before the walk, but here I am right after. HuMom tried to get me to sit in front of the sign, but I really didn't feel like it. So I made sure her shadow messed up the pic and she didn't get the whole sign either (you can see huMom's shadow on the lower left):

Isn't that a cool heart bandana she had me wear? I don't mind wearing banadanas. Then huMom got some creamsicles and she shared one with me! I never had a creamsicle before. It was delicious. She dropped me off at home so she could get her allergy shot before they closed. After she got back home, she took this pic. Boy am I pooped! The walk was a 5k - plus we had to park about a half mile away and there was extra walking so we probably walked a total of 5 miles this morning!

I miss my Wubba

Hey Hey, it's Maebe Baebe!

I miss my Wubba... I've been telling my huMom to buy me a new one but she says since it barely lasted a week that she wouldn't be buying another Camo Wubba. She says MAEBE she will buy another Snugga Wubba like Kayla's if hers lasts. Sigh... so in retaliation I've been gnawing on her computer chair.

So that's my story, woo a'tcha later! Maebe

Did WOO know a Wubba has a tennis-like ball inside of it? I destroyed that too.

Drooley Maebe Baebe

Hey Roo!

HuMom finally got a dog park vid from our birthday last week uploaded. Here is Maebe being all drooley dog! Why she gets all drooley only at the dog park is anyone's guess. HuMom usually brings a hand towel with her but this time she forgot. OMG...sometimes Maebe can be REALLY embarassing to be around.

WUBBA!!!!!

Hey Hey, it's Maebe Baebe!

We are so excited to tell WOO about our birthday presents... we finally got our own WUBBAS!! I got a big pink camo wubba:
Kayla got a fuzzy snuggly purple wubba:
Notice how our wubbas match our collars!! We are stylin' as always. We weren't quite sure what to make of our wubbas at first. We sniffed them, then carried them into the living room. Then I figured I would just steal Kayla's wubba. HaWOOOOOOOOOO!!

Then huMom showed us that the pink one squeaks and they are both really fun to chase! Here's the first video where we learn how fun wubbas are:

And this video shows Kayla actually doing a little fetching and retrieve! Just a little.... then she's back to her Goofy Hoosky self.


HuMom's trying out Adobe Premiere Elements to edit these vids... it's taking her a little while to learn so it might be a couple days before she gets the doggie park vids done.

So that's my story, woo a'tcha later! Maebe

Technical Difficulties...

Hey Hey, it's Maebe Baebe!
We have been having some technical difficulties - or maybe YouTube is... but we can't seem to get our vids to upload. So here is a shortie that huMom got from her phone when I was a little pup. Hopefully we can figure this out soon!

Come Celebrate With Us!

Hey Roo!

Guess what - today is our birthday!! Today we are 4 years young. We invite everydoggy and Huffle to enjoy a little Pawshake Cake with us!!

Here is how the cake turned out, it now has cream cheese and carob frosting and 4 biscuit "candles":

WOO may remember from yesterday that huMom baked us two cakes, one for each of us. Well... now woo only see one cake. Somedoggy who is known for doing a little countersurfing from time to time silently moved the trap that huMom set and stole her cake a day early while it was cooling:
HuMom was pretty pissed and she ditched her fancy frosting plans and hand wrote the "K" and "M" into the frosting. And I am mad because now we have less cake to share with our friends. So you can thank MAEBE for being such a pig. Needless to say MAEBE has a little case of the cow pies today. So she got a really small piece today.

HuMom dressed us up in these silly collars (again):
Maebe got her piece first (she seems to expect that):
And I got my BIGGER piece, since she was such a piggy yesterday.
We also got to go to the Dog Park today, and we got PRESENTS!! We will share our presents tomorrow and the DP video later this week. Thank WOO for visiting us on our birthday! Hope WOO liked the cake. We sure did!

(PeeEss: if WOO want the recipe, click on the pic of the recipe book from yesterday to make it bigger! The frosting is just 8 oz cream cheese, 3T carob powder and 1T vanilla all blended up)
See ya later! Woooo woo rar rar rar... Kayla

Surprise in the Kitchen!

Hey Roo!

We interrupt our regularly scheduled Monday Memories episode for breaking news - something smells good in the kitchen! That is a rare event so we had to go check things out. HuMom has a recipe book out:

And she has sprayed and floured a couple of pans:

Kayla is observing closely:

Here is the cake batter, all ready to be poured into the pans:

Oooooh, she let us lick the wisk!

And we are supervising the final pour:
HuMom says we can't have any until tomorrow. Why does she torture us!?!?! Wait a minute, this is for US??????? Oh, well the recipe is for PAWSHAKE CAKE!!!

See ya later! Woooo woo rar rar rar... Kayla and Maebe
