From which the matriarch speaks from her chambre de sommeil...

To all my blog friends who send good wishes....... I'm doing OK.....notice
the glazed look in my eyes?? That's so the humomm will feel slightly
guilty for putting me through such a traumatic experience...
I did perk up when each of the humans came in to kiss my ring.....



Of course I didn't want to appear to well
because I'm still boycotting the wearing of the BLUE....
honestly, isn't it enough that they call me Ms.Blue?
Do they really have to put a blue shirt on my back
to advertise the fact?

The humomm sez it is to keep me from licking
my hystorical tummy.... pfau..
Heavy sigh.





Ah well between you all and little old me... I'm feeling lots better. I got to eat whatever I wanted and made the humomm take me out (on a blue lead of course) many times and she let me lay down in the nice warm sun -- I sunbathed for at least a 1/2 hour. I just about have her at my beck and call. Ain't life grande??

Hee Hee....
<-----------------notice that little grin? Later, I'll show you my nice white teeth. The "dentist" doctor did that while I was in la la land too... oh and not to mention my pedicure.... and the precise removal of all excess hair in my ears. Well... I'll tell you, the surgery part was a real pain and so were all the other "procedures"..... but I FEEL GOOD!!! Pssssssssst -----------------------------> don't tell on me. I'm just a little blue dog trying to get
some reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelaxaaaaaaaaaaation in.


Good night all! I'll write more when I feel a little perkier. All this activity seems to have made me just a bit weary ------------------------------------------------> Ms. Blue

WE FOUND OUR MOM!!!

PHew! The humomm brought our mom home last night.
She did look very tired,
not to mention when she walked in she curled up and went to sleep!
Ignored us,
except for a waggle of the famous hummingbird tail....
Then crashed on her NEW blankie,
with her NEW toy.
Didn't want anything but her bed.
Boy am I glad she's back, I was just a bit stressed....
What will she do????
The humomm said Ms. Blue can't go swimming for 14 days....yesterday was one and today is 2 so now she can't go swimming for 12 days <--------------------here's a picture of her famous kerry krawl----->


----------------> little toot, in the pond w/ the yellow wubba.



The humomm said Ms. Blue had a historical- tummy......
Now what exactly is that?

The doctors also shaved, not ONE but TWO big areas on her legs..... uh oh.... our momm has POOOOOODLE legs!!! She's not happy about this. She wasn't happy when she decided she didn't like the catheter in her leg and took it out....the doctor said it needed to be there and put another in <--------so she was poodle-ized w/pom poms on her front legs... arghghghgh. One good thing though is, our mom feels much better today.. she did eat some of her food--but she still is not playing with us. The humomm wants her to "lay low" for a couple of days and we are NOT to bother her. So that means we can't play "chase".......and she won't be hunting for squirreleez..... and chipmunks....... this is sounding B O R I N G.... although our mom seems to be quite content about this boring kinda day <-----She is just not herself. BUT, we'll let you know when she is. In the meantime think happy thoughts for Ms.Blue. theBUSTER signing off ---->
to watch ms.blue be content-to-relax-in-her-new-blankie-and-stare-at-her-new-toys....more on them later. I'm thinking I may be able to steal one while she's zonked <-----sephie sez NO!
B & P

We woke up and Ms. Blue wasn't in the house!!!

Where's our mom?? this here is theBUSTER & Ms. Persephone.

The humomm was whispering last night.. something about no water or food after 8:00.....for our mom, Ms.Blue.
Whats this all about??

Where is our mom??

The humomm got up early and took our mom out and then she put her in the car....

Where are you taking our mom?

The humomm came home without our mom this morning.

Where's our mom??

All day looking upstairs, downstairs, outdoors under the umbrellas in the rock garden... but didn't find our mom.
The humomm said Ms. Blue was having some opper - A - shun...what exactly is that?
I'm still looking for my mom, she is never gone from us for very long...but I did notice that the humomm has gotten calls on the telleeeefooone and talking to that Dr. Joe about how our mom is doing.
Doing what? What is our mom doing?

Where is our MOM?

I guess I just have to wait.......
I'll keep busy....and wait.
M O M ! !! !!! !!!! ! where are you??????

Roman Army Engineers?

Toltec Mound Builders?

A solitary pleisiosaur left over from the Late Jurassic?

Filippo Brunelleschi ??

Wally Cleaver's brother?

Enquiring Schnozzles want to know !!

Hi to all my blog buddies.. I must leave TO GO IN SEARCH of the "makers of
the duomo" --------> I've got some good ideas tell you alllllll about it.
I shall return!
LATER!


POOF!


theBUSTER

Buster & Bailey Return to Camp

In Which theBuster and Bailey Are Reunited With The Fauna of Their Pond and Meet Some New Friends....the term "travel lightly"
is NOT part of the equation.

Ms. Blue has arrived, surrounded by her "beach bag" containing much "stuff" to occupy the Queen B for at least 30 milliseconds.

theBUSTER on the other hand gets to be surrounded by bags of food and more food and some clothes -- who needs cloths at the cottage???
Us Blue Dogs certainly do not...we travel oh so very lightly....
Notice theBUSTER is wearing the latest in doggie seat belts (his perfectly fitted "roadie") to protect him from the human driver's sharp turns on the N.H. roads....

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh--------->
the LAKE!!!!!
HI HONEY,
I'M HOME!

Goody-goody-goody...the little SS TooT, paddle boat for the dogs, is in the water ready to be fired up, so we can peruse the lake <------------I'm ready....... aye, aye, Captain-sir, ready to peruse! Ooopsy....the Captain is a m'aam, my mom, Ms. Blue, is the Captain of this ship...

Of course there is the "human lackey", who powers it...
---------------->Sort of like having a bunch of chipmunks in a wheel<--------------

Ahoy matey...ar ar ar. There's something off the bow! Hey! who are you??????
Reveal yourselves -- or prepare to take on fire, you slimey-wet-builders-of-wood-duomos*...
Buster! load the water cannon!! These SWBOWD* are not responding!! We need to take action!! This is our lake, after all!
.ahem.

Hey Hey Hey... are you responsible for that Duomo of the lake???
PLOP!

"We need to get to the bottom of this Situation".... sez the Captain, "....reverse them thar screws we've gots to go back".
Hey blog buddies, she didn't go to midshipmen's school...
she watches Johnny Dep movies <------------HAH! and an ar ar too.

O.K....we're back on terra firma....standing here wondering what the heck the "Captain" has in mind...
Notice the puffy white clouds in the water <-----------that's when you know it's a lovely clear day at the lake.

Oh heck... we're back on the SS TooT........ still searching for the creator of the wooden duomo!
Aye Aye M'aam, I am searching with my eagle eye <------don't have opposable thumbs so I can't Possibly Hold A Glass in my PAW! m'aam.

Hi, excuse me, Little Purple Finch....did you make that duomo?????
Kinda of reminds me of an upside-down nest.

Hi little hummingbird... do you know who made that wooden duomo in the Lake?????

Ok...
Maybe these itty bitty guys know something <-----there are enough of them.... LOOK CLOSELY! Do you see the ground jumping???? Lackey...hold one of those little guys up to my nose...
Hey little guy ----------> do you know who made that wooden duomo??

No Luck.....


How about all of you? Don't suppose you know anything about a wooden duomo
that just appeared in the past coupla days????
hmmmmmmribbit ribbit ribbit....
Hey anyone out there know how to speak frog?

MA!!!! do you know who built that wooden duomo???
"bah ram ewe"
Nope that doesn't seem to work.

Well I'm tired...it's time for bed. I've got my ball and I'm ready to
sign off <---------------don't worry folks.. I will solve this mystery, soon. Ms. Blue sez she thinks she may know someone else on the lake that will crumble under pressure, and tell us
WHO MADE THE WOODEN DUOMO.
theBUSTER & Ms. Blue signing off for now.
Wait for the next installment of:
WOODEN DUOMO
