Hooligans are Smart

On Tue, 31 Dec 2002 16:07:51 -0500, Marilyn Hubley

I guess I have to say the Hooligans never cease to amaze me. You don't
think they are aware of what your doing, heck they might not even be
looking, but they know every square inch of their domain and everything in
it. Since we've had a rash of lock outs by said Hooligans which has now
extended over to our Pet Sitter, I thought I'd be wise and hide a key in
the yard in case of just such an emergency. I bought a small flat black
plastic box with strong magnets on it and placed it on the underside mental frame of my Barbeque outside. Now this box wasn't sticking out, I'd put it in a
spot where it couldn't be seen. Yet today I found half the black box and a key
stuck in the mud in the yard :( Oh yes have I told you what Carl's new
trick (Walker Hound) is??? Its to OPEN THE HAMSTER CAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes he had so much fun that night chasing said Hamster around the room
destroying things he feels he needs some more FUN. :( I've come into the
Computer Room where the Hamster is and found the door open 3 TIMES Then I caught him at it!!!!! :( God help me I'm afraid of what these creatures
will wrought next on me :( P.S. Cojo is sporting a big blue bandage on his
foot and milking it for all its worth. It looks like he was bitten on his
paw and it opened the pad. He has to wear a plastic IV bag on his foot
when he goes outside since its so muddy and wet out :( I just know something's
going to happen but I haven't figured out what it is yet and I'm too afraid
to think of the possibilities :(

Cojo's Boo Boo

On Tue, 31 Dec 2002 16:08:20 -0500, Marilyn Hubley

Well its not uncommon but we had another INCIDENT in the kitchen yesterday.
When I turned around it was Cojo having himself a FIT and attacking
anything that was close to him. Then I noticed BLOOD :( His pad on his paw wasripped open and bleeding. I don't know if its from a bite or he hurt
himself on something. He was still walking on it fine. Today he's not
walking on it at all. Well he won't let me near it after getting Hydrogen
Peroxide on it for a bit (tons of SCREAMING) I got some medicated cream on
it but no way in hell was I going to be able to put a SOCK on his foot.
After being bite 3 times, warning bites, hard enough to bruise only. I
gave in and called the vet to make an appointment :( I mean I can't even get a
look at the Boo Boo to really assess it :( So we are going in at 11 for a
trip to the vet. Wish us well, i.e. not a bad Boo Boo and not a huge vet
bill :(

What kind of Mother am I???????? Tundra just came running into the
computer room and ran head first into a drawer I left open over the dog bed!!!!!
Maybe its cause that usually happens to me and I thought they were smarter
than me :)

Weaver's view on Xmas

On Thu, 28 Nov 2002 18:41:04 -0500, Marilyn Hubley

Okay I've been having to keep on top of the 2 young pups for standing in
the Malamutes dog house, while he's in there, and barking at him. Today
everyone was inside and downstairs with me and I heard a strange noise.
Yes Weaver had decided to water the Xmas Wrap. I haven't seen him have an
accident in I don't know how long!!!!!! Do you think he's trying to tell
me something about Xmas or his view on me???????

The Weave

On Fri, 29 Nov 2002 10:20:09 -0500, Marilyn Hubley

Okay was morning feeding time at the zoo. The usual chaos was happening.
Weaver finished half of his food and then of course everyone else's food
was better so to stop a fight before it started I put him outside. Came in let
everyone else finish and caught up on the emails :) Well I just went to
put the rest of them outside and OH LOOK Weaver has been playing.

Yes when I saw him he had the SCREEN DOOR (which he has already DE
SCREENED) in his mouth chewing on it as he slid it back and forth :( Oh look there's my BOOT CLEANER (you know the ceramic animals with quills on their backs). Some how he moved it from the porch to the middle of the yard, and its
heavy. I'm guessing he carried it by the quills on its back since most of
the quills are gone or very SHORT NOW!!!!!!! No I didn't look any further
I was afraid of what I might see, so I let the others out and walked away.

Pictures with Santa?

On Sat, 7 Dec 2002 11:55:05 -0500, Marilyn Hubley

Today for some strange reason I had to reassure myself I was in the DEATH
BY DRAGGING club and took 4 of my young Hooligans to have their picture taken with Santa. First off not an easy task just getting them in the vehicle.
I was DRAGGED (took two at a time) ruthlessly because I only had their Cloth
Collars on to have their Picture with Santa. Second problem YES WE ARE
SPORTING ICE ALL AROUND. Third problem they know how to UNFASTEN their SEATBELTS!!!!!! So I'd take two in for picture and then try to get two
back in and different two out. The Xmas Tree selling guy took pity on me and
helped, thank god, he caught 2 escapees and held one or two while I shoved
others back in :( The pictures are great and I will scan them if anyone
wants to see. Weaver actually MAULED Santa, thank goodness Santa was a
young guy :) Weaver got into the sleigh and stood on his Chest and checked
him out that was how his picture was taken :) They want it for their
FLYER. I had to wipe out all the muddy paw prints from the vehicle and now I have to go to another Santa picture place with the 3 older Hooligans, I don't
want to show back up at the other place, THEY'LL CLOSE when they see me :)
God me with me and wish me luck!!!!!!!!! Yes I donated to the cause they
were holding the pictures for LOL Alliston Human Society LOL heck I have
some of theirs!!!!!!!!!

picture with Santa in our WHOLE LIVES??????)

On Sat, 7 Dec 2002 14:03:30 -0500,

Well the 3 older of my pack were much more cooperative!!!!! :) Now I have
all the Hooligans pictures with Santa :) Just so the whole second
experience wasn't with out some turmoil Carl (the Hound Dog) barfed in the
back of the Durango to give Mommy something to clean up when she got
home :)
Can anyone tell me why oh why they must always BARF where the seat
folds???????? :( Awaiting frozen vomit for removal :(

On Mon, 9 Dec 2002 16:51:54 -0500, Marilyn Hubley

Okay since the evening of Sunday December 8th, I've been trying to get the
Malamute to come inside for dinner. HE DIDN'T think so. This morning same
routine. Hammer on the windows, he comes out of his dog house, comes to
porch looks at me and WOooo Woooo's, licks the porch (don't ask), wanders
around, sometimes comes right up to the door, I open it he takes off, I go
out with the leash, he runs even farther. Finally just now I thought well
the silly ass has to be HUNGRY. So I go out with the leash in FREEZING
weather and he takes off, runs to his dog house, then sneaks up the side of
the sunroom and walks right in the house. LIKE I CAN'T SEE HIM!!!!!!!!
Okay he's semi blind I guess he figures I am too. He comes in and wanders
around and I'm in the other room and hear SMASH, yes he was hungry he'd knocked over the Garbage Can in the kitchen. He's a loon but I love the little
bugger, he's INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Terrible Twosome

On Thu, 7 Nov 2002 09:46:58 -0500, Marilyn Hubley

Okay I'm confused, is it WINTER or FALL????? I'm having an INSANE time
trying to find and retrieve POOP on a daily basis. I've got leaves
EVERYWHERE all different colours and they are still coming down and then I
get snow on top of that!!!!!!! How in god's name do you find POOP in
that!!!! Ya ya ya besides with the bottom of your SHOE like I do daily
:( I don't know whether to RAKE or SHOVEL can't use my leaf blower the
leaves are too wet and raking UGH that is a large amount of pain. I did a
small area yesterday and the leaves are so heavy cause they are wet was a
killer :( Then we have this ONGOING battle between the new Rescue Malamute
and the 2 Young Huskies 1 & 2. When Mally is in his dog house napping the
young ones like to put their heads in the dog house and BARK AT HIM
constantly!!!!!!!! Poor bugger, I stop them when I'm around but I'm sure
they do it a lot when I'm not there too and are likely to lose a nose soon.
I notice they are already sporting marks on their faces. BUT WHY OH
WHY!!!!!!! did they have to do this last night at 4:30am in the
morning!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes thats right under my window :(

Nail Clipping

On Sun, 10 Nov 2002 15:51:10 -0500, Marilyn Hubley

Well today I decided was nail cutting day ;) Hound usually the worst was
so gall darn cooperative I've sure he's been taken over by aliens. Was an all
out struggle between me and my youngest trying to cut his nails today, HE
HATES IT. I had to LAY on him and of course during the struggle clipped to
low and he's a BLEEDER big time so had to stop eventually and then chase
him around trying to put the styptic power on the bleeders to stop them :)
WHOA did he SCREAM!!!!!! All in all, not a good try but then I've asked my
family to go in on a GROOMING table for me so I will have something to help
in these wrestling matches I lose on a regular basis!!!!!!!!!!! Thank the
lord for families, Xmas & Grooming tables :)

Weaver the Comedian

On Tue, 19 Nov 2002 20:41:13 -0500, Marilyn Hubley

So out of all my Hooligans one of the funniest is Weaver. I don't know
weather he's missing a common sense gene or what but he's so laid back and
sometimes so clumsy he always reliable for a laugh. Take the other day go
to the sliding door, Hooligans hear me. Weaver literally flips to his feet
from a lay down position, looks at me, runs towards me, doesn't see porch
step (always been there) under the snow, front legs hit step bend
underneath him and he slides up on the porch like a sea on his belly. Stands up, sits down and just looks at me. I thought I was going to toss my cookies.
Anyone else have a Siberian Comedian????

I need a vacation

On Sun, 24 Nov 2002 15:21:57 -0500, Marilyn Hubley

Ah yes the Hubley Hooligans, darling little creatures they are :) I
finally got a chance for a night out in the city staying with my girlfriend
overnight for some fun. Phone Hooligans sitter sure she'll be able to
watch them. Will get there at 5pm and leave around 7am. Cool I'm leaving at
10am so will write down instructions for sitter and head out ;)

At 6pm I phone to see how the lady is doing with the Hooligans (yes she's
watched them before but they always mess with her). NO answer :( hmmmmmmmm try again, no answer :( oh oh. Phone next door neighbour hey whats up, oh did you get our message???? OH OH. Yes the Hooligans had been being feed and I warned her Big Red Malamute (semi deaf, semi blind) can be a real hellion to get in the house so just feed him outside. Apparently I had forgotten to tell her again to make sure you don't go outside without a
KEY.
Yes the Hooligans locked her out :( Neighbours searched for the spare key
in vain (I was sure I left it) but hubby neighbour finally had to go
through my bedroom window to let the poor sitter back in :(

I get home today survey damage, one window screen, electric fence break,
rebroken, several new holes all in all not bad for the Hooligans. Then
neighbour phoned to say hi, hey did your sitter not know about Carl's
(hound dog) barking collar to put on him when he was out. Well yes she did was in my instructions let me go look. OH LOOK there it is in the yard on the
ground and OH LOOK they ate the end off it (already ate the other end off
it last week).

I'm suppose to go away at Xmas for a day :( I'm thinking this might not be
a good idea :( Mommy 0 Hooligans 100

Husky Owners Mentally Unbalanced

On Wed, 27 Nov 2002 14:11:03 -0500, Marilyn Hubley

Okay for some sick reason I decided to let the 2 youngest 1 & 2 come into
my bedroom this morning for some cuddling. FIRST MISTAKE. Pride came in
okay, Weaver on the other hand looked to be wired for sound, flying in and out of the room (a.k.a. zoomies), up on the bed, fifteen circles at mach speed,
off the bed, down the hall, god knows what he did down there, back to the
bedroom and repeat. Well finally after several rounds of pummelling he
settled down for a chest and belly scratch, his favourite. Then it was
time to chew daintily mommy's hand and lick it into submission. Pride was
trying for some attention but didn't get a lot and for some reason felt he needed
to keep whacking at me with the deformed paw. Well after I started to
wheeze (allergic to dogs) I hauled them out and went for a shower. I was
amazed at the fact that my body looks like I've been run over by a Truck,
skid marks, nail marks, bruises you name it, then why the heck did I have
such fun and will do it again???? Cause I'm a SIBERIAN HUSKY OWNER,
mentally unbalanced and loving it :)

Pride here Amber, thought I'd let you know I had issues with that post too and I've put the old bat in her place :) I locked her out of the house
while she was mowing the lawn and I peed in her sunroom :) Now I'm off to
counter surf. I know how to keep her in line :)

Excuse me, Ms. Hubley, but not ALL amber-colored eyed pups are SPOILED! No ma'am. Not true. I, for example, have one beautifully amber eye -- that's
how I got my NAME! And I'm not one BIT spoiled. I'm sure Pride isn't
either. OK.... had my lunch, some of mom's carrots, walked to the
corner...... yes, time to nap on the bed now. I hope I've helped clear

Picture this, I took out my brushes and sat down to brush the dogs. All
came up to me for brushing except Tundra (she hates the brush) but she
didn't need doing and the Giant Red Malamute that stinks like you can't
imagine. Yes of course it was him I wanted, well I ran around brushing the
top holding onto his collar being pull this way and that, then he fell ass
end off the deck, then he bite me, then he WOOOOO WOOOOO'd in my face with two rotten teeth in his mouth. After I collect my stomach back and managed not to HURL, I waited for him to settled down and then proceeded to crawl on his back while he was laying down to try to work on his underneath. Well he was having none of that thank you very much and whipped his head back and now I'm sporting a bloody chin, shirt and ego :( Now I have to explain to the vet why eyes drops for him 4 times a day after 10 days got in maybe 4
times :(

PRIDE SAYS:

Hi All :) I often sit and reflect on how wonderful a ruler I would
make. Trying to get this house to respect me is a different story. Mom keeps
bringing in new dogs and I have to start my work over completely. I
immediately mount anything that walks on four legs to show whose boss but
with this last one, just a Lab, I'm now sporting a big cut in the corner of
my eye. What was that dog thinking?????? Its me PRIDE ruler of
everything!!

I'm having a hard time with this new Malamute too, I know he can't see me
very well and I can sneak up on him but darn I'm afraid the wobbly old
bugger will fall over one me.

As soon as I get this house in order and can take the Throne as King I'll
see about starting classes on how you too can be like me :) Aren't I
great?

Well today I'm to go to a Lenny Kravitz concert, of course the day wasn't
going to go smooth. Big Red Malamute was dragging his butt on the floor
yesterday and I hadn't thought to check it. Today I'm getting ready to
leave to get my hair done and look and Big Red, the lump on his butt had
grown huge and the covering was off it. Got an appointment for him in the
afternoon. By that time the stink was horrible from we guess the anal
glands, blood and flies were all over the poor darling. Sure enough he had
maggots on him and had to be shaved down. I asked them to keep him
overnight as I was going out and they agreed to do his surgery to remove
the bump and others first thing in the morning. There is a risk because of
where it is for him to be incontinent but I have no choice. I went to take
him downstairs to their kennel and sure enough he slid down and ripped off
half the bump and started bleeding :( We got a collar on him and taped him
up and they are going to check and see if they need to do stitches later or
wait for surgery in the morning. The poor baby :( hasn't he gone through
enough???? 4 teeth out last week and now this. I'm miserable, I don't
even want to go out tonight my poor darling baby is upset and hurting :(

Escape Artists

On Tue, 24 Sep 2002 10:34:05 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

So last night getting ready for bed about 10:30, got a little buzz on from
having a beer at the neighbours, all happy and ready to crash, phone
rings. Its said neighbour saying my dogs were in her backyard. PANIC sets in.
First off I'm not thinking real clear at that point anyway and found myself
doing a lot of running around and getting nothing accomplished in the first
5 minutes. Finally took stock grabbed biscuits, 2 leashes and out I went.
Well they were still at neighbours thank god and Tundra came like the good
girl I trained her to be and right into the house. Pride (yes this is the
same team that escaped and got locked in a barn basement for two days while
I was taught a lesson in June) unfortunately wasn't going to be that easy
but easier than expected. There he is having himself the time of his life
rolling in fresh Racoon Poop, yes he looked up at me and there was the most
beautiful face looking at me covered in SHIT. Brought him home too, locked
him and Cojo in the kennel for the night, Tundra (also sporting shit face)
& Weaver in the sunroom, Carl & Big Red in computer room, Tasha as per usual with me in bedroom. Get up bright and early go out and look at escape
route. Well if I'm not mistaken something pushed the 4 x 4 from the other
side and was digging from the other side there's was quite an escape route,
so filled back up hole check electric fence, yep OUCH its working. Watch
said Hooligans for awhile think safe. Sooooooo just went to bring Big Red
in for his breakfast, oh look only 3 dogs in yard, two missing!!!!!!! This
time more together grab leashes, keys, biscuits and run for door. There
Tundra running down the middle of the road into neighbours yard, call Pride
oh there he is finally coming but so is a car down the hill :( Yes I
thought I was going to die but he made it very safely, car slowed down
gave me dirty look. Of course then he ran right by me and into neighbours
yard. Called Tundra and opened up Durango, she hopped right in oh geesh look Prides right behind her into the truck too!!!!!! Repairs hole that was
redug again from further inside, filled with big rocks, still don't trust
the little bastards. Pride & Tundra were brought inside rewarded with
treats and set free in yard again, dear god let this be the last time those
two escape.

On Wed, 25 Sep 2002 16:43:31 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

Well what with the cooler weather seems the Hooligans are feistier than
normal, WONDERFUL LOL We've had continuing howling sessions much to the neighbours delight (NOT). Currently one happening now as I type.

Neighbour informed me yesterday dogs had killed a squirrel in her yard when
they escaped a couple of nights ago and I assured her I would dispose of it
today and bury it. Oh look, NOT A SQUIRREL, its a MINK, nasty little shits
so that's what Tundra & Pride were rolling in, freshly killed Mink. Must
have been Tundra she's very quick and tough (mental note check Tundra &
Pride for holes). I know the mink have scent glands too so that is what
we smelled and maybe it (pardon the phrase) crapped itself when it died and
that's why the two of them are still sporting stains of on their faces.

Came home oh look they've started digging further back same spot to tunnel
out again, fill hole with dog shit cover up, probably do again tomorrow.
Oh LOOK Weaver loved his new Soccer ball so much he ate it in under 15 minutes :) What a good boy.

Wow how much fun is it to wake up a Malamute everyday that takes your arm
off (yes I wake him with my voice first). Excusssssssssse me for trying to
get his lazy butt out to pee. What fun to be followed around the yard by
said Malamute BITCHING (a.k.a. barking) at me to play, with me carrying
poop pail.

All in all a good day but now I have to go DEBARK the hound!!!!! Without
Sedation

Walking Big Red

On Wed, 2 Oct 2002 14:49:05 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

BIG RED MALAMUTE is doing very very well. His surgery to remove
the growths on his butt went extremely well. No incontinence. Having 4
rotten teeth removed helped his disposition also. He's far more happy than when I first got him in August. He's getting into a routine with me and hasn't bitten me in I'd say a good week. :)

Tomorrow he goes for his first professional grooming :) I'm staying there
with him to calm him and so hopefully a muzzle won't be needed. He LOVES
to be bathed but hates being brushed underneath.

He's quite the priceless character :) Yesterday I let him in and he was
acting all giddy and puppyish. Walked into the kitchen got excited with me
and kinda jumped/played bowed and landed right on the hardwood floor belly
first. He sort of just looked at me, like hey why did you do that, I was
just playing!!!! :)

I still haven't figured out a way to get his eye drops in and am
concentrating on him being comfortable with me and happy here.

Oh by the way took him for his first walk in the field. I don't thinks
he's ever done that before. I unleashed him about 4 times and he immediately
did a 180 and headed home :) At least he recognizes this as a safe place.
Hopefully soon he will recognize my voice as a safe person :) :)

The Creeps

On Sun, 13 Oct 2002 19:02:00 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

Okay its Friday night and I'm not sleeping, very restless, rolling around.
Approximately 1:50am Siberian talking, growling and barking hmmmmmm. Wait
for a bit but doesn't stop. I yell out window still continues. FINE put
on robe go to sunroom. There in front of me is 4 Siberians (everyone else
is in House) at the fence, 3 are watching and Pride (ruler of the universe) is
attacking the fence and creating a huge commotion. He's biting the fence
and trying to tear it down, he's all over the electric fence and NOTHING
doesn't phase him. Up to that point I was fine, then the glowing red eyes
looked at me through the fence, ewwwwwwwwww, can you say shivers up your
spine???? Goosebumps broke out over my whole body!!!! Go get treats,
run to door with treats Weaver cuts me off and pretty near drops me on the
ground in my robe, manage (after several in and outs) to get 3 Sibes in the
Sunroom. Not Pride, no way no how he was going to kill what ever was on
the other side of the fence and show it who rules the WORLD. Okay great so
now I have to go get him which means I have to go near the fence and the damn
glowing eyes are still looking out occasionally. Now I can hear my
neighbours Jack Russell barking and I'm hoping and praying they are going
to come out and ask whats up, you know back me up, nope nothing they didn't
hear a thing apparently. By the way I back onto unused farm land and we
have Skunks, Coyotes, Foxes, Racoons, Wolfs etc back there. I call Pride
offer treat he comes grabs treat runs back, I get a little closer (waiting
for something to spring over fence and land on my head) offer another treat
he comes, I grab him by scruff of neck and RUN to the door. SAFE!!!!!!!!!!

Quite frankly it could have been a cat, there was no noise and anything
rabid would have been making noise I figure. We had a few Rabies scares
around here recently so you can never be too careful. A 6 week old puppy
was diagnosed with rabies just the other week in town. I've seen a cat go
into the abandoned barn behind my place and maybe thats what my Senile
Hound has been barking at in the backyard and digging up 6 foot of lawn at a
time. Pride is sporting a big cut on the nose from I assume a claw but not deep.

Either way what ever it was gave me the CREEPS and thats not easy to do.
So back on the internet looking for a date a.k.a Man so someone can phone
911 when I go out next time :) What did you actually expect me to think
he'd go out??????? ROFLMAO

Why not to buy a Siberian as a guard dog. Was having a nap the other day
around 4-5 and a date dropped by for a visit. He rang the doorbell
numerous times, saw my Durango in the driveway so figured I was home. Looked through the door and had several faces watching him, not a peep, he finally gave up and went home.

Today, phone plumber re: leak. Okay he says I'll give you a call when I'm
coming. Wait and wait and wait and wait and finally decide to go out and
he calls. Oh I was there, I rang and rang and rang the doorbell. I was in
the Sunroom with ALL DOGS not a peep :( Not a movement. I need a new doorbell these guys don't help me one bit!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhhh my dogs love me so :) I've been sick the last two days and not
moving much except to feed the Hungry Horde and then lay back down :) My
babies being as thoughtful as they are decided to have fun without Mom and
let her rest :) Lets see, on poop patrol today I witnessed Weavers attempt
at an underground tunnel out (no where near the fence), several others had
gathered to move items and dig around the composter where they found such
treats as, dried up last Octobers pumpkins, banana peels, avocado skins and
pits, potato peels, carrot peel etc :) But they were kind enough to spread
it over a good deal of the yard so not to make a mess all in one spot. The
reclining chair has a hole right through its back now (took pictures last
night if anyone wants them) so new pics are needed. There's a wonderful
new tunnel under the boards I put around the porch. While I type this Carl the
hound dog just slimed me, my pants and the keyboard :), opps and apparently
my chair ewwwww. Now he's rolling around on the floor moaning and
groaning, as only a psycho hound can do. Oh I forgot about Carl the other
day when I was brushing them in the yard :) Carl loves to be brushed, hell
Carl just loves attention so he wandered over and I brushed him and he had
himself the time of his life, but on to furrier animals I tried to go. No
Carl wasn't finished he wanted more, a pushing and shoving match ensued and
I finally won or so I thought. Carl backed out of the way and I pulled in
a Husky and out of the corner of my eye I noticed Carl was PEEING ON THE
CHAIR I WAS IN!!!!!!! I need Rodney Dangerfields number, he thinks he gets no respect :(

Pee in a Jug?

On Mon, 29 Jul 2002 21:19:05 -0400,

So my day yesterday started with a doctor ordered URINE collection, oh no
not just one, the whole day till next morning sample, i.e. I had to pee in
a jug. Better yet!!!!! I have to keep it in the fridge between pees. How
much fun is it to wake at 1am in the morning and go to the fridge and get a
cold jug to pee in?????? NOT TO F*U#PWU FUN. I'm just glad it wasn't dog
I was having to do this with. Anyway off to the doc this morning to drop
off sample get blood taken, eat breakfast and come back in two hours to
have more blood taken. Arrive home hours later full of holes, $100 lighter for
wasting two hours till I had to go back again and HOT. NASTY WEATHER.

So this afternoon it starting thunder storms on and off and in the evening
they were constant so I let the Furkids in and let them dry off for a bit
in the Sunroom. While they're drying I go down stairs to feed my fish. Get
down look at tank, mmmmmm this can't be good I just filled it yesterday
and its down 3 inches!!!!!! Yes I had a leak, previously when it did this I
had the guy living with me who wanted the :$(%)@&(*^& fish in the first place,
but now I'm left with said Fish. So start to drain 25 gallon fish tank,
remember furkids let them come downstairs with me. Get fish tank as low
as it will go and attempt to carry fish tank to new room. Well it stunned me
but I made it and the dogs stayed outta the way, quite frankly I thought
I'd drop it but the fish made it. Now I have the chore of clearing out the
wall unit and then attempting to move it out from the wall to vacuum up the
water. While in this process a Hooligan spots one of the bird nest I'd
taken down from the wall unit and I swear to god was seconds and destroyed
and I didn't even see the little shit that was responsible. All look at me
with TOTAL innocence.

So now I'm attempting to move this damn heavy wall unit out from the wall,
hauling and groaning, grunting and cussing and then I look and there's 4
huskies watching me, what's wrong with this picture??????? To top my day
off!!!!! Lenny Kravitz concert postponed from tomorrow evening till Sept
sometime :( I need a vacation!!!!!!!

My Weaver does the sit on his butt, front legs dangling but the moron
will sit there and just FALL OVER, never tries to stop nothing, falls on
his side, his back, doesn't give a hoot LOL He's the most laid back Siberian
I've ever meet :)

Feeding Da Baby

On Thu, 1 Aug 2002 19:38:49 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

As I type I have a husky under my desk eating his kibble since everyone
else was ganging up on him for it, yes I'm talking about Pride. Little hellion
has been going through the I'm the king of the house routine and growing
bolder and bolder. He's taken on Weaver, Carl and Tundra but he's scared
furless of Cojo. He's let Cojo come up and take his food away from him 3
times now so I have him safe behind my legs under the desk to enjoy his
dinner while everyone else is circling. Pride is more commonly referred to
as "DA BABY" around here and is spoiled BEYOND belief. Now he's looking at
me from through the keyboard with such a cute face I could just squeeze him
to bits!!!!!!!! Have I mentioned how much I love my babies lately????????
These sweet darlings rule my WORLD!!!!!!! On the kill side another dead
mole added to the count yesterday.

The Composter is never safe

On Fri, 2 Aug 2002 10:03:05 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

Well this morning I woke at 6:00am and thought hmmmm just a few more
minutes but slept awhile longer and the Hooligans let me (Weaver just came up for Huggins and was licking my hand while I was typing, then did the butt sit
and fell over right on top of Tundra). So I'm so proud of my darlings!!!
then I looked in the backyard. The Composter once SCREWED into the ground and edged with big rocks and recycling boxes is now completely detached from the ground laying on its side in the yard :) Can you say INDUSTRIOUS?????
Well that's the word I'm using cause the other words that come to mind make
the air BLUE!!!!!!! Guess I have some interesting yard work in this heat
today :(

Now the Hose has it in for me

On Sat, 3 Aug 2002 11:24:36 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

Things were going so well this morning (minus the barking at 7:00am) that I
was a smiling :) I called all Hooligans to the sunroom, AND THEY CAME!!!!
and shut the door to mow the lawn. I finished cutting the lawn and hook
electric fence back up, shut gate doors and let the hooligans out. Place
kiddie pool back in spot with no grass and went to get the hose to filler
up so the kids could cool off when necessary. All was still going well right
up until I put the hose on full dropped the nozzle in the pool and then it
happened. Apparently I was not aware we had a KINK in the hose so as soon
as I lowered it and let go the nozzle spun around and I was getting direct
full throttle hose right in the face, yes RIGHT IN THE FACE. Now most
normal people would have jumped out of the way immediately, no I kinda
stood there like a dinkus not quite believing I'd just done that to myself and
then got out of the way. So now sinuses are full of water. I think I
should stay inside for the rest of the day, obviously the Sibes put a curse
on me from the sunroom for locking them in. Where the heck is my foil
beanie to block all this nasty thoughts those guys send me????????

Marilyn & The Hubley Hooligans (ha ha ha did ya see Mom take that one in
the
face, that'll learn her for chasing us with the hose)

Biking is safer with a Springer Attachment

On Thu, 8 Aug 2002 18:05:56 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

Well I can't believe it but I made it unscathed!!!!!!!! Can you believe
it? Hopped on clipped Tundra on the springer and away we went, no difficulties,
worked like it was suppose to even with my assembly job. HOW COOL IS
THAT!!!!!!!!! No I didn't go too far hell I was scared stiff from all the
other times I went biking with Sibes. I couldn't seem to relax so the
first stop sign on the rural road was point of return. Of course none of you
decided to remind me that I should dismount with the leg on the SIDE OF THE
BIKE WITHOUT THE SPRINGER. So that was almost an accident kinda wounded up the leg and almost landed on my keester :) Gee and I thought when I stood up this morning at the Gym and my head hit the machine, this was going to be a bad day :) Lump fits in well with the others on my head I already got :)

Fine I'll move the Composter

On Mon, 12 Aug 2002 21:46:34 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

Awoke this morning to find Composter in the middle of the yard again, FINE,
they WIN, composter comes out of backyard and into front yard. The chair
of entertainment is now in a sad sad state so going to ask the neighbours that
gave it to the Sibes to get it out and take it to the dump the wrecking
crew has done as good job of lightening the weight of it. Hooligans are
presently stalking backyard in search of another conquest!!!!!! God help
me.

Foster Harley

On Fri, 16 Aug 2002 19:50:33 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

Hey people my foster Harley has been settling in here (got him Wednesday)
and doing well. Not much known about him but was tied out all the time. I
don't think he's had a lot of attention as he almost has a BLANK look about
him. He likes attention but doesn't seek it. Somehow in the last couple
of hours he has sprained his front leg and is limping on it. I'm making a vet
appointment for him in the morning to make sure. He's been removed from the rest of the Pack and is laying with me in the computer room. Poor darling isn't house trained and we've had a few accidents. My fault I had company and he didn't have my attention like he should. Company gone till Sunday night now so him and I can get acquainted and we can start with some grooming. They think he's around 5 but is wheezing quite a bit at present so will have that checked
tomorrow too.
Marilyn & The Hubley Hooligans

On Sat, 17 Aug 2002 07:55:17 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

Well I thought I'd give Harley a break from the Hooligans with the sore paw
he has so I kept him with me or outside for the evening without said
Hooligans. For sleeping arrangements I put him in a fenced in pen with
Carl (Chihuahua trapped in a Hound Dogs body) and settled in for the
night. 7am rolls around and the hound dogs barking, scream several times at him through window give up and go out.

OH LOOK dog pen now has 3 dogs in it as Pride the 3 legged wonder has dug a hole into the pen. Pride has real issues with the new guy knowing he's
tough and boss.

Harley's leg is much much much improved this morning as is his breathing.
He has a bit more of a glint in his eye and actually comes forward for a
bit of loving. He had 3 meals yesterday and breakfast this morning was wolfed
down. I keep him separate for feeding as he is bound and determined to eat
everyone's which of course doesn't go over well for the guarding the bowl
ritual we have.

I stuffed him with biscuits till he wanted no more :) and he was loving
laying here with me chewing on a chewy I gave him. Will miss going to the
Wasaga Beach Siberian Party today but I think I'll just have a quiet day
getting to know Harley :)

Marilyn & The Ever Growing Hubley Hooligans

On Sat, 17 Aug 2002 11:40:52 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

I was napping this morning (up early Hound dog barking) and I had Harley
and Weaver outside the rest in the sunroom. Harley started the most beautiful
howling out on the porch not too sad sounding just beautiful singing :) Of
course then I brought him in a second ago watching him closely, turned for
a sip of coffee and he's peeing on my door LOL ugggggggh this will be a
challenge :)

Drop it, ya right

On Wed, 19 Jun 2002 09:29:47 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

So I just walked out to the backyard and there's WEAVER with something in
his mouth that looks like a gerbil. Yes its a chipmunk still very much
alive and Weaver isn't having any of the drop it command. So I grab the
jaws and pry them apart where upon the Chipmunk grabbed my hand (I thought
it was biting me) and I let go and we are back at square one. Well I
finally pried the jaws open enough for it to land on the ground where upon
I had two others running for it. I managed to stop them and the chipmunk ran
under my deck, all spit covered and limping :( I wish I could have done
more for the poor darling but I was only thinking of getting it out of the
jaws before damage was done :( Damn sometimes the pry drive of these
babies upsets me :(

On a different note I just clipped Prides toenails and his deformed paw has
nails that are bizarre to say the least. All were grown pretty long I
THOUGHT :( but the last one wasn't and we had a bleeder. Put him on his
back and kissed him while I put copious amounts of Styptic Powder on to
stop
bleeding. He's such a good boy :) Now I have to shampoo the carpet :(

Another Dog Dumped

On Mon, 2 Sep 2002 13:53:18 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

Well the Hubley Hooligan Household is running at full capacity. The other
day was nail trimming day YAHOOOOOOo NOT. Everyone was exceptionally
co-operative EVEN the hound that hates his feet touched, okay ALL BUT
ONE!!!!!!!! Pride gal dang little bugger I've been having such a problem
with him and his dominance crap he's pulling on EVERYONE.

Then there's the Malamute rescue, I'm suppose to put drops in his eyes 4
times a day YA RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! Never happen already wasted half the
bottle and been bitten. I guess I'm going to have to muzzle him (without getting
my arm taken off) and wrestle the old bugger to get his eye drops in 4
times a day ;( ugh so not looking forward to that.

So today I just get out of the shower and get a call from a fellow dog
lover and saver down the way. Has a guy at her front door trying to find someone to take his dog (female lab) cause they are moving and the people that bought their house were suppose to take the dog but won't now and the place they are moving to won't take a dog. YADA YADA YADA hence they have to find a place or I assume will dump the dog :( Well the girl can't take another
female, females are a nasty bunch of critters tend to fight hers are worse
than mine and I only have two but they will kill each other too. So what
am I to do???? This dog needs a home or might be let loose and hurt ???? Yes they are on their way over and I'll take the darling (long weekend up
here), try to pump them for a donation to getting it spayed and call the Animal
Control people tomorrow I guess.

Some days I hate the human race that can dump their problems and move on
like nothing happened. I pray one day this world will become respectful of
animals but I know I won't see it in my lifetime.

Picking up Big Red

On Tue, 20 Aug 2002 09:20:47 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

Just a note to let everyone know I picked up the Blind Malamute yesterday
in Niagara. He's quite the darling and very special. We've not had a lot of time
together but he has gotten along well with all the Hooligans.

I did make the mistake of trying to pluck him on the way home and he bite
me, no skin break but was testy after that until I calmed him. He can see
somewhat and looks to have very bad cataracts on his eyes. He is house
trained and thats good, somewhat stubborn and growls when he doesn't want
to do something but then he's been through a lot and is settling in. He's a
talker :) which I love and a good eater. Today I'm going to look for a
groomer and take him and my foster Harley. The Malamute stinks PRETTY BAD and the ride home was an odorous one LOL

He reminds me very much of my Jayke darling that I had to put down in February and I love him to bits. The Hubley Hooligan ranch is at full capacity but I love it and all are so special and unique. The baby Pride is playing I'm the ruler of the household and I imagine he'll be put in his place soon LOL Pictures will be coming SOON :)

The arrival of Big Red

On Mon, 26 Aug 2002 11:06:20 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

Well we bathed the little (HUGE) dickens yesterday and I'll be damned if he
didn't just stand in the kiddie pool and let my houseguest hold him on
a leash while I bathed him, no fuss, no struggle NOTHING LOL Of course
even with that he still stinks but a little less, his fur is matted fairly badly
on his belly and I've snipped a lot out but he HATES being touched there.
Sothe houseguest into holding him still one night while I finish the job.

I got him a vet appointment tomorrow morning to have him looked over, he's
got a bit of a protrusion from his butt hole but nothing to worried about I
don't think, just wondering if he has an eye infection that can be treated
before he loses all his sight. Going to get his hearing checked to, still
not sure if he has hearing loss or just SELECTIVE hearing :) He responds
to NOTHING most of the time. Haven't found a name to suit
him or one he'll listen too so most of the time I call him BIG RED, or BIG
RED MALAMUTE or MALLY or clap my hands (best response time). He still play bites at me and I respect him but have learned that most of it is playing,
quite a feisty little critter he is and loves to play with us and the other
dogs. Appetite is okay but NOT great for his size, will try for a POOP
sample tomorrow before we go saw some in the backyard I don't like and
think it maybe his.

Think he has a CRACKED tooth in the back of his mouth (might explain the
killer breath) but most teeth look good, from what he'll let me see LOL
He's sleeping behind me right now and he must be chasing something in a
dream as the paws are going a mile a minute :)

That's all for now, will update again :)

DUH factor

On Thu, 6 Jun 2002 13:43:31 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

Now I know Tundra must be missing a few screws since she went back under
the sunroom and got stuck this morning. So today I come home from my Hypnosis class and TWO are missing. Tundra & PRIDE :( This time I told them they were on their own, they wanta get in there, they can get out. Both did,
apparently the DUH factor rules my Hooligans.

New Cupper

On Sun, 30 Jun 2002 17:23:23 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

Cupper (rescue Hamster) has found his tube that goes up and down from one
level to the other in his cage and that is his safe place when Huskys
enter the room. So today I walk by and look and he's in the tube but the
dogs had been in fine. Walk by later, still in tube, walk by MUCH MUCH
later, STILL IN TUBE. Now I'm thinking oh shit he's got stuck in there and
can't get out, he's probably dead!!!! How the hell do you perform CPR on
a Hamster???? Open up the top of the cage poke a finger down the tube and
poke him in the butt, DOESN'T"T MOVE!!!!! I'm like OH SHIT, I've lost
another one. Rip the tube outta the cage flip him up look at his face, all
scrunched up but whiskers wiggling. Nope he was fine just sleeping, DEAR
GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Thu, 20 Jun 2002 Cupper Comes Home

On Thu, 20 Jun 2002 10:00:12 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

So this morning I decided to take Tundra for a walk just her and we'd have
some special time together. Off we set, first encounter GROUND HOG,
managed to have arm that was still usable off we go again. Then a truck stops, yes its the man that had captured Tundra a few weeks ago and locked her and
Pride in the basement of a barn for two days to teach me a lesson LOL We
exchanged pleasantries, chatted a bit, he said she'll never go back there,
I said your mistaken, now your something to conquer i.e. you can't catch me.
Off he goes and we round the corner. Tundra stops sniffs something keeps
moving, I look its a baby mouse and oh look he's following us!!!!! I
stopped and waved him in the grass before he got run over or worse Tundra
decided he was breakfast. Nope he followed us again, so I picked him up
and we turned around and walked a kilometre back to the house. Along the way I spotted a cup in the ditch, lots of people litter unfortunately, and put
him in there. So he's sitting in a quickly constructed mouse house in my tub
and I'm off to get him proper food and habitat. Some days I just have to
wonder WHAT NEXT :) I will be taking name suggestions privately for said
baby mouse :)

Went back outside and they'd ripped one board off and squeeze back under
the porch, Tundra & Cojo. Then couldn't get back out so I had to rip off the
other board. Nailed said boards back up with 2 INCH nails. Threw a
couple of BIG rocks in the hole the had dug so they couldn't wedge under and
promptly knocked said boards back off with rocks :( Yep its been one of

Remember my rescue mouse that passed away after a few days???? Well he's been replaced with a free to good home elderly Hamster who will don the name of Cupper in honour of the former mouse rescue. Meet him today at Petsmart and he was given up because he's old :( Okay Dianna now explain to the kids why the cute little mouse they named and saw has turned white and exploded in size :) He hasn't meet any of the Hooligans yet, Cojo is inside but hasn't noticed him yet. I'm more worried about Weaver the Chipmunk eating Husky really and since the little beggar STINKS like crazy from being in his pool and laying in stinky mud its best he stays out anyway :) On the up
side I bought an attachment for my shower and for my hose so I can bathe
Weaver and Pride inside or out. I think I'll let you all know before I do
it so you can check and make sure I'm still alive in an hour :)

On Fri, 12 Jul 2002 Yardwork with Hoolies

On Fri, 12 Jul 2002 15:48:40 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

So today being a nice day I went to the Gym, did some errands and came
home.
Thought to myself perfect day for yardwork. First off Tasha came out front
with me and I thought hey great day for brushing her she can lay in the
shade and I'll brush. Well Tasha being full of bone spurs and arthritis
wasn't all that thrilled but we did our best and now my front lawn looks
like a Husky imploded on it :) Lawn guys should be happy.

Then I decided to empty out all the ex's beer that he'd bottled and had
been frozen for two winters in my garage. Now my front lawn smells like a
brewery but the flies are happy.

Then its off to the back yard to board up the bottom of my porch. Now the
huskies are curious so I nail together a couple of boards and put them up
to stop entrance from one area. Pretty sweaty so take a break in the garage
and do some more cleaning. Come back to yard Weaver and Pride are up to
something, hey what do they have yep my whole box of nails has now been
chewed up and nails all over the grass. So go to garage get magnet clean
up nails best I can and hope I got them all. Now I'm ready to tack up the
boards on the other side. But wait, I'm missing a sibe and don't want to
board her under. Call and call and call and call finally get down look
under porch yep I've boarded Tundra under the porch already and she's
stuck, not happy but not letting me know she's under there. Rip off said boards,
husky gets out, very hot and very thirsty, nail back up boards finish job
sweating like a pig need a nap.

I love my dogs :)

On Tue, 16 Jul 2002 11:03:00 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

Well its hitting the 90's up here today and with humidity its going to be
frightening. So I thought I'd clean up the yard early and brush a bit of
fluff outta the huskies. Things are moving along as well as can be
expected considering I'm brushing huskys that aren't tied down and the excavation has been continuing to get the boards I put around the porch down. Then I hear THUNK board down, and this time its the Woolly's doing. So I walk over bend down shift the boards and wedge them back up and make sure no nails are exposed, ahhhh okay finished rise, BOOOOOOOOOMM. Yes I'd forgotten the BBQ was above me, smash right on the back of the head and damnit I'm seeing stars!!!!! Stagger back to lawn chair holding head and pick back up brushes and call dogs and then thought what in the hell am I doing one of those days is happening again, I'm getting away from these little hellions and taking my aching head inside :( Only brushed a couple for a few minutes and it still looks like one imploded in the yard but that's it for the day, they
are on their own.

On Sat, 20 Jul 2002 Sleeping with The Baby

On Sat, 20 Jul 2002 20:02:18 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

So seeing as it was Prides birthday yesterday and I didn't do much special
for him and I did bath him, I thought he could spend the night with Mom.
Now Pride spent about his first 3 months of life sleeping with me so I
could monitor the wee baby and I knew he was safe from harm. The others were a little to big to trust and I had to wait for him to get older and hold his
own. So there's my freshly bathed baby, standing in the kitchen basically
giving me shit cause OH NO he doesn't want to sleep with mommy he's a big
boy now and he wants to go outside with the others!!!!! Well damnit, he
was sleeping with mommy whether he liked it or not, I'd bathed him so he
could!!!!! So finally after a battle of verbal coaxing on my side and
verbal shove it up your tush Mom on his side, I dragged him into the
bedroom. Then he was fine, settled in, hogged the bed and I got very
little sleep all night. I finally dozed off in the morning and I was groggy but
waking up, open eyes and there it is. My darling precious baby, on his
back, legs in the air, head turned to the side, out cold with his BUTT in
my face!!!!!!! Did I get the message???? OH YA, Oh and now he smells again
after being outside today:( Life as a Siberian Mom sure is trying :(

I'm thinking it wasn't a deformed featherless creature to begin with and

He said it was garbage and I said Hey my dogs might like to lay on it!!!!!! So he says sure lets give it to them. Was in good condition all covered and we put it in their Dog house area :) I'm all happy :) 1/2 hour later come out to find the
chair had been DISARMED!!!!!!!!! literally and next day debacked and now
deseated. I have foam ALLLLLLLL over their pen to the point I couldn't
pick it up if I wanted to. Now the neighbour wants to know if he can give them
a couch he has sitting in the backyard!!!!!!!!!! Anyone need a wrecking

On Thu, 9 May 2002 Bedtime

On Thu, 9 May 2002 14:32:41 -0400, Marilyn Hubley
Tasha is the only one that sleeps in my room, actually its HER room and I
share it. She stays there all day in her nap place which is directly
beside my head on the floor, will NOT move under any circumstance (i.e. me
changing bed covers). She NEVER gets up on the bed without a lot of calling and never stays long.

Of course if you never hear from me again this is the scenario which has
probably happened cause it does almost every night. Somewhere between 2
and 5 am I have to go pee, of course the bathroom is directly behind me and all
I have to do is swing out and walk in, now that sounds easy but there is a
black and white woolly Siberian (TASHA) somewhere down there and no matter
how hard I try to be careful I usually step on her or her fur or kick her
in the head when she looks up as I bring my leg over top of her etc, of course
the other option is doing a face first into the corner of the wardrobe.
Since I feel she likes to be fed I opt for the later.

The kids get to sleep with me on occasion as a special treat, Cojo will
stay on the bed ALL NIGHT even with the mattress warmer on LOL I don't know how he stands it but I think he likes hanging with his Mom :) Pride spent his first few weeks sleeping with me from 5 weeks on so he's very comfortable
on the bed and loves to stick his head under my pillows and generally make
himself a home ;)

Muffin theft

So Yesterday I got some gumption and did myself some cooking for the week.
Did up some chicken, made some risotto and sautéed some Mushrooms. While I was doing this I baked a 12 batch of muffins and left them on top of the
stove to COOL. First mistake yes but I think heck its so high they can't
possibly get them out of the muffin pan!!!!

NO but they could eat all the tops off the muffins they could reach LOL

On Tue, 14 May 2002 Hooligan Escape

On Tue, 14 May 2002 21:04:39 -0400, Marilyn Hubley

SO 7 foot fence, 2 rounds of electric fence and we still had the great
escape tonight!!!! Yes it was lead by my darling precious Baby Pride and
Tundra. For reasons I can't fathom Weaver (el destructo) was still in the
yard (think he's electric fence paranoid). They had rolled a large 4 by 4
I had against the fence and dug under. That might have been because the damn electric fence wasn't PLUGGED IN. Yes I had the iron plugged in and I
thought it was the electric fence so I was going to either burn down my
house or lose my dogs cause it had been that way for DAYS. Luckily I
entered the sunroom just after the escape where upon my neighbour phoned to
say they'd broken out. I ran outside and the neighbour was carrying Tundra
( 2 1/2yr old female) by the middle (no collar) and she's wagging her tail
like your typical hey look at me Mom Sibe. Pride (no collar) was a run and
tackle capture by me, where upon he let out a HUGE ugly growl (all talk).
No collars as the two of them keep losing them or getting them chewed off
by the others. So guess what I'm going to be doing tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes
lowering the electric fence a bit in spots to see how that works. God I'm
just glad they didn't get to the road!!!!!!!! And I thought I was going to
be upset about the Leafs/Senators game tonight LOL

farm behind me had them the WHOLE TIME he even had them when I asked him the same day they got loose. He was teaching me a lesson. OH SHIT like I
needed that. But I have to understand they are farmers and get a lot of
dogs chasing and killing their sheep. I explained to him that I rescue and
I try everything to keep them in their yard and he apologized. They have
never been out before and none of my dogs have ever gone to his farm
before. Doesn't matter, they are home and I'm soooooooooooo relieved. Dear god everyone else waiting for news of their babies I hope you hear soon, this
is a cruel and unusual punishment not to know where they are or if they are
okay.

Saturday morning update on missing Sibes. No word, no calls, no nothing
:( My vet tech friend is going to call all the surrounding area vets and
alert them as Pride stands out with the deformed paw.

I'm going to hike way back into the bush and see if I see any sign of them.
I hope the wild critters haven't got them :(

Well its been 23 hours of hell but still no word on the escapees. I have
phoned all the local vets and left my number and I just printed up a flyer
with their faces on it and I'm going to go get it photocopied and start
putting it up around town :(

Well its been over 8 hours since they escaped :( I just made my last drive
around the country looking for them as its getting dark and its pouring
rain. I'm hoping someone took them in and will phone the animal control.
They may be closed now and can't let me know if they've been located :(
Tomorrow I will start to put up pictures of them. Sleep tight my precious
babies where ever you are, I hope you are safe.

Well this time Pride and Tundra escaped while I was gone :( Weaver stayed
he has a healthy respect for the electric fence Pride doesn't. Neighbours
phoned to say they were on their lawn at 12, I wasn't home and other
neighbours left a message they SHOOED them home. Ya that should work with
a Siberian, unfortunately not dog people. So Pride & Tundra have been gone
for a couple of hours, I just spent a 1/2 hour driving around and calling
and hiking into the fields and calling and not a sign :( Dear god let them
be okay :(

Okay my kids are home, I'm happy but check out how this went down. The
Farmer called me at 12:30pm and said he had a surprise for me, I asked MY
DOGS? He said I'm not telling you just meet me at 1:30pm at the barn. I'm
like I can come now!!!!! he's like no no 1:30pm. So I sit and stew, sit
and stew and at 1:25pm I'm out the door. Arrive at said barn no one there yet,
see him coming. I'm standing there with two leashes and collars in my hand
and he says come into the barn, okay. Now he's carrying a big bottle with
a nipple on it, YA AT THIS POINT I'M WEIRDED OUT and is calling around the
barn and I see NOTHING!!!! Eventually two Lambs about a month old came out
and were very startled by him and even more by me, he asked me to back off
for a sec until they got started on their bottle and then asked me to come
forward. So I'm watching them feed and telling him how adorable they are
and I glance sideways. WELL %*(#@@% there's a dead lamb laying right
there :( I'm devastated, I think my dogs have done it, I ask him and he says oh
no that one got caught under the feeder and died (apparently this isn't
uncommon) and he'd brought it in the barn but hadn't disposed of it yet!!!!
Now I know I'm in a nightmare, so I wait while he feeds the lambs and tells
me about dogs chasing his sheep and a bunch of different sort of crap that
really wasn't comprehending at that point. Eventually he says well I've
had to shoot one dog and it was very hard on me as it was my friends pet and he never talked to me again. I'm like OH SHIT he's shot my dogs, no he says
not dead but had them since Thursday when they went missing and didn't tell
me when I saw him same day to teach me a lesson. At that point I didn't
care what the crazy old fart had to say after I just nodded and smiled and
grinned like a freaking idiot. So more lectures, I explain I rescue and
try to the best of my (and thousands of dollars) ability to keep the little
beggars in. Then he feels bad well I didn't know that he said I'm glad you
do that that's good follow me, we go around to the back of the barn to the
entrance to the barn cellar. Have ya ever been in one? I have PITCH
BLACK. That's where he kept my two bays since Thursday afternoon. Feed them once a day he said then said twice, so your guess is as good as mine, and watered them. Apparently he had tried to leave the door open a tick for sun but
Tundra escaped (I don't want to know how he caught her). We they were
BESIDE themselves to get out of there, he wanted to open up the cellar and
let them go and I'm like NOOOOOO god they'll bolt again. He figures they
won't want to come around there again, and I wouldn't either but you know
huskies. Anyway I then proceeded to lose my keys, found them, stuffed the
kids in the Durango and backed the heck outta there as quick as I could all
the while he's going I hope you don't hold this against me!!!!! LOL Some
days I seriously think I should have a camera crew following me throughout
my day cause some of the %#&@ that happens to me no one would believe if
they didn't see it, end of story, still have headache.
