You Want Me To Do What??

Hi Everybuddy -

Today I learned that St. Patrick's Day is coming soon - on Monday to be exact. And how do I know this? Take a look:

"Oh.....what's this??"

"Excuse me? You want me to do what???!"

I'm sure by now you're reading between the lines here. Dad actually thought I was going to wear those glasses! After the first several attempts he explained that surely I could find it my heart to cooperate just a little bit. Mom went to work today and apparently assigned him the task of getting a picture of me wearing these ridiculous glasses. Should I take pity on him and give him what he wants so he goes away? Here's how it went:

So you get the picture. Note how we turned our backs to him? We figured he'd get the message that we weren't interested but he didn't give up. I eventually felt sorry for him and decided to cut him a break.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!

Uh oh!

Hi Everybuddy -

I have to share a video we found. I sure hope Mom doesn't see this. It won't be good if she does. It'll only encourage her and make her think we are "trainable". We've worked so hard to prove otherwise! Somebuddy needs to talk to this Siberian!

Greyhound to Kansas

Hi Everybuddy -


I'm very excited! Today I got a very special invitation. I was invited to go to the AO4's house for their Mom's Bananananana Cake! WOO! How could I possibly refuse an invitation like that?? I had to get to work on a plan to get to Kansas FAST! Well, Greyhounds are fast right? I'm thinking a Greyhound Bus might be a good solution. I need the phone number:

"Woo! This is a BIG book!"

"Let's see here........."

"B.....U......S"

"AHA! There it is! Greyhound Bus Terminal"

"Hello - Could you tell me when the next

bus to Kansas is? HUH? Next Friday?? That

simply won't do! My AO4 buddies have a piece

of banananana cake for me and I need to.....HELLO???"

"Where'd the lady go? I think she hung up on me!"

Well that was very rude! I think I'm going to have to think of Plan B. Woo.

National Cereal Day

Hi Everybuddy -

Did you know that Friday was an important day? It was National Cereal Day, named in honor of Dr. Kellogg's invention of Corn Flakes in 1897. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg was the Superintendent of a sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan. The idea for corn flakes began quite by accident when Dr. Kellogg and his brother left some uncooked wheat sitting while they attending some urgent matters at the sanitarium. When they returned they discovered the stale flakes and tasted them. With some experimentation and toasting they invented what we know today as Kellogg's Corn Flakes. This is a lesson that should be acknowledged - some of the best things in life are discovered quite by accident. That's where the Siberian spirit of adventure comes into play. Mom should learn to embrace that and appreciate our ways of thinking.

We decided in honor of National Cereal Day we would present to the good folks at Kellogg's our version of Rice Krispies. What do you all think?

We pitched it and are waiting to hear when production will be launched. Watch for us in your local stores!

Happy Cereal Day!

Made Of Money

Hi Everybuddy -

I found a very cool thing the other day - pups made out of money. Can you imagine?! Now, I've heard Mom say many times (mostly to the young bipeds in the house) "Do you think I'm made of money??!". Well who knew there are things really made of money? Look at the cute pups I found:

This next one reminds me of my adorable little blogger friend - Lorenza. Did you pose for this one Lorenza?

All of this clever folding has inspired me. I asked Mom for some money to practice with but all she was willing to donate was a piece of paper from her printer. I don't think she's being very supportive of my artistic endeavors.

"Opposable thumbs would really be helpful!"

All things considered I don't think this is too bad for my first attempt:

You can see all the other wonderful oragami creations on this website. Happy folding!

Sneaky Spring

Hi Everybuddy -


Today is a ho-hum kind of day. They're telling us we're going to see some snow tonight but not the real snow we've been wishing for. We've pretty much given up on that. All we keep getting is enough to last a couple hours then it melts and makes mushy mud which makes Mom grumpy. So we officially GIVE UP! Yep - it's true. We're surrendering to Mother Nature. We're waving the white flag. We're declaring an official truce. Shortly after we came to that revelation guess what we saw? Look:




Spring seems to have been sneaking in when we weren't looking!
We've fought the battle and lost but that's okay. Spring isn't all bad. Green grass, fireflies, singing birds, rearranging Mom's flowers.......fun things like that.

Mom was even more encouraged when she found her spring flowers starting to peep through the ground in the front garden.






So, in honor of this noteworthy day of mine, I'm taking my last winter nap of the season.

Hope everybuddy has a great weekend!

Let The Games Begin

Hi Everybuddy -

I heard about something pretty interesting today. Did you know there's a new board game that humans can play with dogs? Harooo roo roo! I know what you're thinking. How can that possibly be? This is Funagle:

Funagle is defined as a game to finesse a dog into performing an activity using treats, verbal and gestural communication. Woo! The treat part sounds pretty good and that board looks amazingly like a pizza. I wonder if it's pizza flavored. The part that I find humorous is that the goal is to get "a dog" to "perform an activity". BWWAAAHHHA! Let's be serious folks.....this game was obviously not made with Siberian Huskies in mind! Gestural communication? Would that be the same as Mom flailing her arms wildly when we're barreling through the house with the rugs flying in every direction? I'm suspecting this is not the game for us so I decided to take a look at what games we have in our house. Look what I found:




Now that's more like it! Look out Donald Trump.......here I come!

Shyla's Adopt-A-Versary

Hi Everybuddy -


Today's another special day - it's Shyla's one year anniversary! One year ago today Mom and Dad met her at a local shelter and fell in with a very thin pup that gazed into Dad's eyes and had him at hello. Very little is known about our sweet girl's past other than the fact that she was extremely underweight and in the danger zone for survival. She is yet another shining example of a neglected dog who has every reason to hate mankind, yet is so sweet and loving that she charms everyone she meets. Here's a photo of her a couple weeks after coming into rescue. You can see how thin she is, especially in her hindquarters. This is after a bath and a good brushing which "fluffed" her malnourished coat a bit.



Can you tell Dad was getting the cheese out for a sandwich? It didn't take long for our girl to realize that food was kind of nice! We'd like to say Happy Adopt-A-Versary Shyla.....and we're so glad you're part of our pack!

The Wrong Side Of The Door

Hi Everybuddy -

We hope those of you who were lucky enough to get snow that stayed around for more than a few hours has had a wonderful time playing in it today. We didn't get very much and it's turning into mush now.

Meeka has had a challenging day. He has a small problem with doors. Meeka's a very smart guy but doors really seem to perplex the handsome one. The powder room seems to present the most problems. He will walk into the small room, turn around, and guess what happens? He pushes the door shut. It's usually not shut all the way however. That is, until he proceeds to slam it shut with his paw in his attempt to get it open again. ::sigh:: He just doesn't get it. Mom and Dad have tried to teach him how to get the door open again but it's no use. He will whine the most pathetic whine we've ever heard until somebuddy springs him. You'll see this too:






That paw is much too small to belong to me! It's Meeka's. I think he's afraid we'll forget he's in there which is quite impossible due to the hauntingly sad whines we hear. Yet another sign that Mr. Perfect really is not perfect. That being said, we'd like to share a very impressive magazine that you might look for at your local newsstand. Take a look:

That would be Meeka! Can you believe it?? I just don't know how he does it. He wants me to mention that pawtograph sessions can be arranged. Hrmmph.

Big Britches

Hi Everybuddy -

Woo! It's been a few days since Mom has let me use the computer. She's was holed up in her bedroom with the laptop for a couple days because she had the flu. She said my paws are much too pawsome for the laptop so I had to be patient and wait till she felt better and could turn on the big computer. She's doing much better now which is good. Whew - we were waiting on her paw and tail and I need a rest! We're going to get a good night's sleep tonight because we smell SNOW in the air! That's right - they said it's going to snow tomorrow so I'll need all my energy to go in and out and in and out and in and out.

Today I'd like to share with you something that Mom is finding very amusing. Remember our Shy, demure little Shyla? You know - the one who only spoke when spoken to, and the one who would wait until she was invited to come up on the sofa? She has found her personality. Take a look:

That's what Mom saw when she went down to the family room. Shyla is now known as Little Miss Big Britches. Not only does she love to pile up ALL the bones for herself, she is wooing at Meeka (you know - The Prince) when he tries to take one! Woooooo! Nobuddy yacks at Meeka. He's been such a good sport about it. He's a bit perplexed and looks at Mom as if to say "Ummm.....she needs to read Chapter 3 in the manual!". In the meantime I'll have to talk to Shyla about sharing. Besides - those are mine anyway. Harrroorooroo!

Gentlemen........

.......START YER ENGINES!!!!

It's the 50'th Daytona 500 today. Since we love our Dad we told him we'd announce that! Dad is busy right now. He's negotiating with Meeka for space on the sofa so he can watch it. Maybe Meeka will move over a bit.

6 Years Ago......

......it all began. Our home just hasn't been the same since! Here's Meeka 6 years ago this very day:

We officially adopted Meeka six years ago today! I say "we" although I didn't come along for a couple years after. I figure Meeka did me a big favor and Sibe-proofed Mom and Dad so that when I arrived it wasn't as big of a shock to their systems. It took 3 visits before MaPaw could leave Meeka. Shadow did NOT like the idea AT ALL! She growled, groaned, and barked so much that Mom almost gave up. But on the 3rd visit, she seemed to be giving it up a bit and finally came out from underneath the desk. Meeka claims that by then she just couldn't resist his charm. So everyone decided to give it a shot and he walked through the door on that sunny Saturday morning six years ago. Happy Meekaversary Meeka! He must have done a great job convincing Mom and Dad that they couldn't live without Sibes because they kept going and wish they had a bigger house for more.

To celebrate Mom & Dad brought home some treats and new toys from the Pet Expo as well as new cozy pads for our crates. WooHoo! Thanks Meeka!

Happy Heart's Day!

Funny Face

Hi Everybuddy -

Obviously this photo was just too good not to share! I bring you Prince Meeka, in a very non-royallike pose. We think it's worthy of a caption. Any suggestions? Better hurry though before Dad sees this and makes us take it down. BWWAAHHHHAAAA!
