Rest In Peace

Our dear friend Scubee the weinerblab has lost his fight with lymphoma. Scubee was loved by many and will be missed by all. He went to the rainbow bridge July 3 2007 while being held by his humans.

Goodbye scubee say hi to FuFu and Dakota for us.

Flash's day

Hey everydog it's Friday and that means me Flash. Aren't you all excited? Not much going on here at all. We've just been hanging out.

I did get out of the fence the other day but came right back. Mom says she hopes we have a better fence when we get to Louisiana so I will stop escaping. Hmm I think escaping is fun as long as I come back. Those 8 days out on my own did teach me a little something.

Peanut was sick yesterday. He pooped liquid all over the dining room. It smelled awful. He is feeling better now though. We have no idea what was wrong with him. Even I felt sorry for him. He hates to go in the house he just couldn't help it. Mom and Dad weren't mad at him at all Thank dogness. Dad got stuck cleaning it up to since Mom was dying her hair.

About mom's hair it is now Blue!!! That woman has some hair issues I think. I will try and get her to take a picture and post it so you can all see. I am just glad she doesn't try and dye me. I think I'm gorgeous just the way I am.

Well that is about it from here. I want to send a special shout out to my girl Lady Kaos.

Flash

The Dad

Hey everydog It's me Flash. I get to interview Dad so on to the interview

Flash(F): Hey dad how are you today?
Dad (D): I'm okay

F: Okay so mom told us how you met so we don't need that information. Let's talk about something else. How long have you been in the army?
D: Forever

F:How long is forever?
D: 13 years

F: What is your job?
D: I used to be an armor crewman and now I'm a cavalry scout

F: What is an armor crewman?
D: Someone that is a member of the crew on a tank

F: Wow so you got to play on a tank?
D: Yep

F: What was your favorite thing to do on a tank?
D: pull the trigger

F: Okay so what is a cavalry scout?
D: scouts are the people who go out on the battlefield and find the bad guys and tell everyone else where they are.

F: Am I your favorite dog?
D:I don't have a favorite dog

F: Why don't you have a favorite dog?
D: I can't have a favorite dog when you are both your moms

F: Why is it more fun to play with you then mom?
D: I'm rougher and don't get hurt as easily

F: Yes that's true mom is kind of a weenie isn't she?
D:She's just more sensitive then me

F: Are you just trying not to get into trouble by calling her a weenie?
D Of course

F: Hmm well I can't think of anything else to ask. Thanks for sitting down with me for the interview
D: Your welcome I suppose you want a treat now.

F: Yeah that would be good

Okay so that was my interview with dad. I am off to get a treat.

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July to everyone in the United States.

Remember to thank someone who fights for the freedom that we celebrate today. So I thought I would leave you with a couple of pictures of my dad. The first one he is just messing with me as I hate to be picked up. The second one is him right before he went to work. We decided to give him the day off and Flash's interview with him will be tomorrow.

The mom

Okay our good friend Miss Reina tagged me to let you all know about my mom so in the ways of the great interviews that have gone before me I am going to interview my mom (it probably won't be as good as everyone else's though so just bear with me.) Here is the transcript.

Peanut(P): Hey mom How are you this morning?
Mom(M): Hi Peanut I'm good

P: That's good. Okay we will start at the beginning. When did you meet Dad?
M: I met your dad in the 7th grade

P: 7th grade? Holy moly wasn't that like 100 years ago?
M: No it was appx 19 years ago

P: Hmm, that is still a long time ago. How long did you and dad date? That is what you humans do right date?
M: Yeah humans date but your dad and I never did

P: Wait a minute how did you get together if you never dated?
M: Your dad was one of my best friends through school and in fact we got engaged when he came home from boot camp at 18 but broke up and stayed in touch while your dad was off to germany among other places then got back together 4 years later and got married.

P: That is all to confusing for me. Wait a minute Dad was in Germany without you?
M: Yes your dad has been stationed in Germany twice. Once before we were married and once when we were married which is when we got you.

P: Neat, so on to the next question. Lots of other dogs are asking their moms when they are going to have kids. Now you have given me two fine kids of my own but really I would like more to play with so when are you going to give them to me?
M: I'm not there won't be any more kids

P: Come on mom, kids are fun we need more.
M: Nope no more kids and anyway your dad is neutered.

P: WHAT? Poor dad How could you do that to him?
M: I didn't do it to him the doctor did it to him because your dad said it was okay.

P:Mumbling to himself-geez poor dad, mom got him neutered too. What kind of woman is she?
M: What was that Peanut?

P: Nothing Mom Next question What do you do?
M: Well I take care of you and Flash and Raven and Shelby and the turtles and as you put your kids.

P: No I mean what's your job
M: That is my job.

P: Okay did you ever do anything else?
M: Well I was a dental assistant before your dad and I got married is that what you mean?

P: Yep thanks. Why do we have so many other animals in the house I think just me would be plenty?
M: You would miss all of them except Shelby if I got rid of them Peanut so stop

P: Okay but you love me best right? I mean I know you spent a ton of money to fly me over here from Germany with you so you must love me the most.
M: I love all of you but yes you are right we spent a ton of money to fly your big butt over here from Germany but we flew Raven over also.

P: My big butt? How insulting Did I say anything about your Big butt? It's about 5 times the size of mine.
M: Okay Okay sorry let's not mention my butt

P:So what kind of hobbies do you have?
M: Not many I like to help you with your blog and I love to read.

P: Yeah I think the reading should stop some and you should play with me more. How many books do you read a month anyway?
M: Usually anywhere from 15 to 20

P: Well if you spent less time reading you could spend more time playing with me.
M: I play with you quite enough I think

P: Well I don't but anyhoo do you think I will like it in Louisiana?
M: I think you will like it anywhere your kids are.

P: Yes, that may be true. I do love my kids
M:Yes I know you do. I love your kids too.

P: How much longer until I get to go see Grammie?
M: About 2 months

P: 2 months? That is forever how will I wait?
M: You will just have to you are as bad as your kids. We all want to go home to visit

P: Yeah but I've never been there I think I want to go more then everyone else.
M: I doubt that but who knows

P: Okay so I think I need to interview Grammie she could tell us all sorts of stories about you I bet
M: Yes she could but you won't interview her if you ever want anymore doggy crack

P: Speaking of Doggy crack can I have some?
M: Are we done here?

P: if you will give me some crack we are
M: Okay let's go then

Like I said not to exciting but tomorrow Flash is going to interview dad and since he's the army guy we think he's more exciting then mom. Oh and I did get some doggy crack.

Length of legs

Our friend Boo challenged every dog to measure their legs so we thought we would measure ours. So mom and dad couldn't get any good pictures of us while they were measuring but my legs alone (to my leg pit as mom calls it) are 21 inches or about 52 1/2 cms. And that doesn't include to my shoulder. If you go to my shoulder they are 27 inches.

Flash's on the other hand are 16 inches (40 1/2 cm) to the leg pit and 20 inches to the withers.

So there are our leg measurements.

I've also included some pictures I thought you might enjoy. The first one is when my dad put his shorts on my neck and the second is just me chillin out on the couch.

Some pictures

Mom turned in some film she had from years ago (these pictures are from 2001 which was Before peanut) and I thought I would share a few of them. She says she's amazed that they even turned out as they sat around our house in Germany then traveled from there to here and have sat around here.

The pictures are in Black and White The first two pictures are of Kiko, who've talked about before, and Gambler as a puppy. As you can see Gambler was a mini dachshund. Gambler came from a nice breeder and the family liked him lots but one day (when he was about a year old) he decided he was going to try and bite our girl as she walked by him (mom and dad were right there so they know nothing had gone on). Mom called up the breeder and they took him back and gave him to a nice older lady who he was perfect for. Everyone was sad to see him go but happy he could find someone to love him.

The next two pictures are of Dad and our kids. Our boy wasn't quite a year old in this picture. (only 4 days away) and Dad was helping him open some presents. Our girl would have been 3 days away from turning 6. It kind of looks like she has no head in that picture I think.

Mom says she loves these pictures and is going to get them blown up so she can hang them up on the wall.

And here is a picture of our boy playing in some dog food. Mom says pay no attention to the brand of food as that was before she knew so much about dog food. She would never feed that to any animal now.

Oh and we thought we would share this picture. This is our pappy when him and Grammie went to visit the family in Germany. Gambler is laying on top of him. haha Something happened to this roll of film but mom thought it was a funny picture anyway.

I am ignoring Flash now since he told you all about my water episode but hey that toy in that bowl was evil.

help some doggies

Our friends Gomer and Opie have reached their 10,000th visitor on their blog. Their dogmom has a way she is going to be donating money to some needy animals but you have to go read it for yourself since one of them is by number of visitors. So go check out gomer and opie who are way cool and their dogmom.

The scoop on Peanut

Okay here is the funny story I promised the other day. Mom and Dad were laughing so hard that mom had trouble taking these pictures. This is one of our toys in the water dish. Mom was throwing it for Peanut (as I don't like it much) and it bounced into the water dish.

The next 2 pictures are of Peanut pushing the toy around in the water dish. He did this for what seems like forever. He would go up and push the toy around and then back off and then go push it around and then back off. See him with his legs all spread out that's his I'm not sure about this pose.


Here is me going in to get the toy out of the dish but mom and dad told me I couldn't.

Okay so this whole toy in the dish went on for 5 minutes with Peanut just pushing it around and not getting it out of there. I couldn't figure out what his problem was but I think the big weirdo is so afraid of water he couldn't even get his toy out of some. Geez. Mom and Dad were just laughing and laughing at him until mom felt bad enough that she went over and got the toy out for him. Then he wouldn't play with it until it dried off. hahahahaha It was just so funny. I mean he's huge and he's afraid to get his toy out of our inside water dish. I think he needs to see someone about this fear. It is obviously affecting his quality of life. harooo

Presents, new neighbors and memes

I got a present last week from my lovely girlfriend Penny. She this lovely card she made me? I'm not telling any of you what the inside said since it was just for me. I didn't even let Flash read it.

Here is me checking out the box.

We got lots of good stuff. In fact even the cats got toys. Mom says they like the little balls with the bell in them and Raven woke mom up the other night at 5 playing with one.
We got these cool bandannas. Mom wasn't sure we would wear them but we did. They are neat and she says we can save them for the 4th of July.

We also got Kongs. Now I have to say that I think my life has been severely deprived. These were our first Kongs and we love them. Even Flash who doesn't like toys to much is going crazy playing with the kong. Mom said something about frozen peanut butter in them but so far I haven't seen that happen. Then we got treats. Look at all that stuff. Those big long things were really really good. I think they are moo tubes. Well whatever they are I want mom to get me more of them. And there is a picture of me waiting patiently for my moo tube. See my tongue? haha


Now on to more news. We got new neighbors AND GUESS WHAT? They are boxers. Yep two girl brindle boxers have moved in next door. I am just so excited. Check them out. New friends for me and Flash WOO WOO. Oh but don't worry they will take the place of Penny or Ellie. They are just friends

New collars, slobber and Shelby

After seeing a few of our friends with nice collars from Snazzy-Petz mom decided to get us a couple also. They came today.
Here is mine. See the skull and crossbones? That's because I'm tough.
This one is Flash's. Mom says it is hard to find good boy collars but she liked the look of this one. She says Kathleen was very nice and made the collars super quick. Oh and when mom told her we found her through our fellow dog bloggers Kathleen said that us dog bloggers have been very good for her business. Mom is very impressed with the high quality of these collars and says we will be getting more.
Here is a picture of me with my collar on. I wouldn't stand still so it's not very good. Mom couldn't get one of Flash at all.

I thought I would show you this picture of me Mom took the other day with a huge string of slobber on my nose. Yep that's my slobber. I'd been outside playing.

Oh and just so you all know. Shelby is fine. He has a urinary tract infection (but no crystals whatever those are) Enjoy the picture of him in a bag. He likes to go in those things for some reason. Other then that not much going on here at all.

Happy Father's Day

We Love our Dad

He plays with us, let us beat him up, plays with us, gives us treats, plays with us, helped mom give us our kids to have,play with us, loves us lots and plays with us. Well you get the picture.

Happy Father's Day to the best Dad in the whole world who on Father's day is at the vet with Shelby. That's a Dad for you.

Going Cross Country

Hey Flash here. I get to tell you about me and Peanut get to take a cross country trip. Mom and Dad have decided that before going to Louisiana that they are going to go home to Oregon since Dad hasn't been there in 6 1/2 years and Mom hasn't been there in 4. So Mom says it will be a long trip but they I think it's worth it. We get to see Grammie and Pappy and all the aunt and uncle dogs and also our Grandma Careen(she's dad's mom) and her dogs. We are going to stay with our Grandma Careen since our human Auntie is staying with Grammie and Pappy.

Then we have to visit and then drive down to Louisiana. Hopefully we can handle it. What do you all think.

Oh and we were informed of Raven's attempt to help Jessica Rabbit in her plot against King Simba. Just so you know we are keeping a sharp eye on her. We won't allow her to do anything.

Here are some pictures of Dad putting mom's hat on me and me trying to lick dad in the face. Mom says I look very cute with it on. I'm not to sure but why would mom lie to me?

I wanted to say a big hi to my gal Lady Kaos. I am thinking of you.

Look what came in the mail

Hey look I got a package. It was from the lovely Ellie

Here is Dad helping us open it.

Here we are trying to inspect the stuff put in there for mom. She got some flavored olive oil, some Parmesan blend dipper stuff and some bruschetta stuff. She says yummy. I don't care about all that so I wouldn't let her put a picture of it up.

Here is a picture of some of our stuff. We got some treats and mom has given us some of them but not nearly enough and we got a stuffed porcupine (at least that is what I think it is) I heard my girl says it looks like a hedgehog. and stuffed monkey that makes actual monkey noises.
Well mom decided she would try and let us play with them and YOU KNOW WHAT? We didn't fight over them. The porcupine-hedgehog is already dead. I killed it within 5 minutes. Look at my handy work.

I did that to both of his arms. hahaha I am happy to say the monkey is still alive though he has lost a couple of squeakers.

On a much sadder note. We have found out the unit dad will be going to is deploying some time before the end of the year. So mom told us to be prepared for him to go also. I have to say that moving and then losing dad so soon after is going to really upset and mom should be expecting for be to be bad though I will try and be good. I just don't do change well. I am going to have to find a substitute dad (who will never take the place of my dad of course) to play with me while mine is gone. Mom just doesn't play rough enough.

Going to eat me some Gumbo

Yep that's right in October I will be in Louisiana eating me some gumbo. Do you think my belly will handle it?
Okay but seriously Dad was informed today his next duty station will be Fort Polk Louisiana and we have to be there in October..
Mom isn't so sure about it but she is going to try to look on the bright side (it isn't Ft. Hood Texas hahahaha) Mom and Dad were hoping for somewhere closer to Oregon but that didn't happen.
So mom said I need to ask some advice for a kennel that will fold down and fit in the car (either in the trunk or in the jeep) as I can not be trusted anywhere with no people. She also said to remind you that I am a big boy so I need a big one. Also if anyone has those luggage things (either hard or soft) that go on the top of the car and you like yours please let us know the brand. Once again mom will stress on finding us some place to live that will let us all stay and traveling with all of us. The woman needs to learn how to relax.

Playing with Daddy

No Flash today

Yes I know today is Flash Friday but since he wanted to come and try to make fun of me the other day I am not letting him post today.

Just so you all know my kennel was cleaned out because of him. Yep he decided to pee in his kennel (and not ring the bell to go outside) so mom and dad decided to clean both of our kennels. He probably did it just to watch me freak out. He's mean that way.

Oh and just to get back at him here is a picture of him in his kennel and what mom and dad found under his blankets. Look at all that trash he was hiding.

Mom and Dad and the kids went to the zoo yesterday. Mom forgot the camera but they got to see Scotty. Plus a baby pygmy hippo among other things. They had fun and our boy came back with this long stuffed snake. I would like to for a toy but that would just get me in trouble. They didn't make it to the water park today though because there was thunder and rain. So they were home with us. WOO WOO.

Well that's about it from here for now.

Peanut

hahaha (it's Flash)

Okay so peanut couldn't post yesterday or today because he is still traumatized. See the nice picture of Dad cleaning out Peanut's kennel? He just freaks whenever it gets cleaned and it takes him forever to recover.

Mom and Dad stayed home with us Monday and Tuesday so we got to play outside and didn't have to be in our kennels. Which was great of course. Today they went to the water park for 3 hours and tomorrow they are going to the zoo. :(
Here is this lovely picture of Raven. Can you even see her? She is that black spot between the cabinet and the microwave. There were people pressure washing the outside of our house today and it totally freaked her out and she stayed up there for quite awhile. I don't know how she fit herself in there.

Here is our boy learning how to ride his bike without training wheels. Mom says it is going slow but he will get it.

And this last picture is me. I am so fast that all mom can get with the camera is a blur. Pretty cool huh?

Hello to my lovely girl Lady Kaos. Glad to hear you mom's surgery went well and she is home recovering. Take good care of her.
Peanut the big baby might be back tomorrow. Who knows.

Happy Birthday Grammie

It's our Grammie's birthday today. For those of you who don't know Grammie is our mom's mom (though they look so much alike you might think they were twins hahaha). That's grammie up in the dinosaur head two summers ago when she and Pappy came to visit us.

I think Grammie is about 956 years old since mom is about 459. I can never tell with these humans. Oh mom just yelled at me she said Grammie is only 56 and she is only 31. Well how am I supposed to know? Geez. Anyway even though we are a little mad at grammie for forking over the cash that gets us locked in our kennels we do love her and without her we wouldn't have mom. Plus she sends us treats her dogs don't eat and that pappy thinks make the dogs breath smell to bad. Plus grammie has a soft spot for animals and love us even though when she is here we annoy her because we don't like to listen and leave her alone. So this post is to say Happy Birthday Grammie. We love you. Oh and we thought you might like this alien card. :)

We hate Summer

Well we thought it would be so nice to have our kids home for the summer. They could play with us and play with us but you know so far it isn't so good.
The only good thing is we have been able to go outside more when the kids are on the trampoline. Now to the bad stuff
We blame Grammie for this one (though we still love you grammie). There is a water park here on post. Well our kids wanted a season pass so our girl asked grammie for the money. Grammie was nice enough to cough up the dough. So they have been at the water park and when they go to the water park, we have to go in our kennels. That is no fun. Plus mom says they will be there a lot this summer as long as the weather is good. So it looks like we will be spending lots of time in our kennels.
Oh and the summer means BBQs too. Yesterday was a birthday party BBQ down the street. The whole family was gone for 4 hours. I tell you I am not used to being locked up so much since mom is usually always home. I liked it better when mom and dad had no friends and hardly ever left me.
That's all the news from here. Dad goes on leave tonight so he'll be off work for a couple weeks. Hopefully we can get him to play with us a ton.

Some questions

Okay after our lists were posted we had some questions asked. Most of them being about my fear of little dogs which I will talk about in a minute.
First off our friend Sophie was having trouble getting down to our posts because of our guestbook so we moved it. Sophie turns 8 today so go over and wish her a happy barkday if you haven't already.
So now for the questions. Stanley asked if we miss stuffed toys. Sure we do stuff toys are fun. Mom says no more though since we don't just kind of fight over them. We bite and growl and would draw blood if we could. Mom has had to break us up with a broom and one time with the vacuum cleaner since it was closest thing handy. So she says no more no way no how. She can't take the stress. Oh and we only fight like this over stuffed toys nothing else.
Stanley also asked if we sometimes secretly snuggle. The answer to that would be no. Sometimes I do try to use Flash as a pillow but he doesn't like it much and will move. We sleep on separate cushions on the couch and I sleep with mom and dad and Flash has his own bed (which I get yelled at for getting in).
Balboa asked if my neighbor was nice since I like to run into their yard. Well they are nice but they are afraid of me. Can you believe someone is afraid of me? (mom here lots of people are afraid of Peanut in fact since when he meets new people outside of the house he just stops, stands perfectly still and stares at them until he decides they are okay. This makes people nervous since he is as large as he is.) Anyway they know I am nice and will come up and pet me now (after 2 years) if I am in my fence but still won't come visit me inside my fence. Mom says it is sad since they are making their kids afraid of dogs to and she tries to get the kids to pet me but no luck.
Okay no on to my fear of little dogs. I wasn't always afraid of them. In fact my best friend in Germany was a dachshund mix and we would play together for hours. But then something bad happened once we came to Kentucky. Mom was walking me one night in our housing area. I of course was on my leash. Well mom sees this little dog with her owners in their yard a few houses down. Before mom can even decide if we are going to keep going or turn around this dog comes running towards us. Her owners are yelling at her to come back but not moving from their yard to get her and then they yell at mom "Is your dog a male or female? She likes males but will attack females" Mom is just kind of standing there dumbfounded that these idiots would let a dog that will attack other dogs outside without a leash on and not go after it when it takes off out of the yard. Well mom tells them I am male so we decide maybe it isn't a big deal to meet this little gal. I like all dogs up to this point and we knew I wouldn't do anything. So this little gal comes over sniffs me, I sniff her, she walks under me and then attacks my legs and this was no play attack. Mom had to push her off me with her foot while I was trying to run away. Those stupid owners still didn't come get the dog as she was trying to attack me. They tried yelling at mom though when she put her foot on their mangy mutt. Well mom didn't go for that let me tell you. I was totally traumatized and to this day don't like little dogs. Mom tries to make me meet ones when we come across them and I am getting a little better but would still rather run away.
Now you all know my secret shame. I Peanut, the 80 lb boxer, am afraid of any dog that weighs less then 20 lbs.

8 things about us

We have been tagged by quite a few of our friends Maggie, Dory,Lady kaos,Scubee, Sparky,Lorenza,Ruby to post eight things about ourselves. Well we wanted to do it sooner but since our kids last day of school was Thursday and it was Memorial Day weekend and since Dad actually got a holiday weekend we spent a lot of time outside doing stuff so mom wouldn't help us. Here are our lists though. Hopefully you learn something new about us.

Peanut's List

1. I will do anything for butter
2. I once bit a lump off myself (don't worry it wasn't anything bad just a bee sting that formed a big lump)
3. I'm a very jealous dog. If my kids are getting attention from mom I will walk over them to get to her(then I get in trouble)
4. If I'm not fed on time I will bark until they feed me (and I get in trouble)
5. If Mom or Dad move my kennel (for any reason) I go nuts until it's put back in it's spot.
6. I fight with my brother over stuffed toys so we don't get them anymore
7. Little dogs terrify me
8. My idea of running away is to run to the neighbors fenced in yard next door.

Flash's list

1. I have my own bed Peanut can't use
2. I don't like nylabones
3. If dad raises his voice to me and I'm on his and mom's bed I pee
4. I will drink from a sprinkler until it gets shut off. I once drank from one for an hour and then came inside and peed because I had so much water. Mom and Dad don't let me do that anymore
5. I bit holes in the kids' swimming pool to get at the water
6. I fight with my brother over stuffed toys so we don't get them anymore.
7. I love to lick people.
8. I can't go out in the yard without a person because I always try to get out of the fence.

Well that's it for tonight. We will be back later
