Easter 2011

It's very difficult being a Pirate Dog.  The lack of opposable thumbs forces us to plan and scheme to get Easter eggs colored and ready for the "big day."  Seriously, it's about a two week slog.  And the humans don't offer a lot of help and support, either.  Mostly we come up with diversions, like Pablo bringing in sticks and lizards, to keep them occupied and out of the kitchen.  One of the hardest tasks is getting the eggs out of their cartons without breakage-----try doing it without your thumbs before you laugh-----

And now, after all that hard work---two dozen ovals in red, green, blue, violet, and orange----

The freakin' Klingon Kats took them and hid them, probably in the bathroom near their litter box..........There will be payment!!!!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile, to all the rest of you,

Happy  Easter

Bucksnorting

Auntie Bucksnort went to see her kids and grandkids in CA.  So we got stuck baby-sitting our cousins this week.  Cousin Seymour isn't too bad.  He looks like Petey/Pablo only a bigger version.  He listens to our dad, who has given him his name: Seymour Aloysius Siegfried von Bucksnort:

Seymour

Pablo on the rock pile

Now Auntie calls him Spike but since he answers to Seymour, well, we dogs kind of live and let live, you know............


Cousin Esmerelda, on the other hand, she's a basket case.  First, she is either constantly in motion or whining and barking at nothing.  Now maybe that's name confusion---Auntie christened her Kalili and calls her LiLi (pronounces lee-lee).  Then again, maybe she's just "special", as our Mom says......

Now Seymour has not only taken to hanging with our Dad but also with Weetz.  And Weetz is probably the least social of the Pirate Dogs and pretty much reacts to her cousin's attention with a scowl:

Captain 'Roid just laughs about it all:

and I really can't be bothered:

It's much too comfortable in bed!!!!  And after the Cousins leave, I'm sure there'll be boneturks for all:

Leny is a very happy Red Sox fan----------and she's not the only one!!!!!!!!!  So, especially to you, Mr. FabP, here's proof!!!!!!

Our penguins came out of the closet in Las Cruces for this picture.

Know what this picture is???????  The South Pole state of

So while this post is in response to our buddy, The FabP's comment, just so you all know-------

Leny's smile is because the Sox are winning as this is being written!!!!!!!!

El Beisbol

O M G!!!!!   Gotta love those Yankees.  Why, they should handle those upstarts from Beantown without a problem this year.  Figure Derek will hit over .400; Cano, Texiera, and that fabulous 3rd baseman who never ever ever allowed a foreign substance into his body should combine for like 210 homers.  C C will pitch a couple perfect games and Mariano Rivera will shed 10 years and not blow any saves against Boston.  Right??????????

Somehow, I Don't Think SO!!!!!!!!

Please don't forget what day it is-------April 1, 2011.


Happy April Fool's Day from the Pirate Dogs!!!!!!!!!!!!
