WOW #68: A Happy Ending!

Hi folks! (Note: We will NOT be mentioning lawsuits ever again!) Last weekend we had SO much fun! Some of our Facebook friends came for a visit and I want to write all about how GREAT that was, but so much happened I got sorta overwhelmed so I've asked all the guests to help me out with THEIR favorite memories and I'll get back to that story soon.

In the meantime I'd like to tell you how the Kutlit Family has been doing. BIG developments there! What's that? Who is the Kutlit Family? I never told you about them? I can't believe it! How did I miss that?

Oh well, let me start at the beginning.

It all started back in the winter when we got a snowstorm. The next morning, Bimmer and Lambchops found these poor little lost lambs outside in the snow.

Needless to say they rushed them right into the house and got them warmed up. Pretty soon they were frisking all over the place.

Lambchops was able to find out that they were from Ohio and that they were part of this huge clan called the Kutlits. Their own personal branch of the family is the Borghinis.

Here they are: Lam, Sam, Cam and Pam

At first we thought they'd just gotten lost in the storm, but before long we discovered EVIL was at work!

We heard from the little Borghinis' mother...or so we thought...and she said that she was coming to pick up the little lambs.

BUT...when Auntie A saw the picture, she put us wise in a hurry. It seems there's a group out there known as EATLAMB! (Every American Trap Lambs And Make Breakfast) Isn't that awful? Auntie A recognized the so called mother lamb as one of their decoys. We really scurried around after that! Lambchops and Bimmer rushed the little lambs inside where Turbo could keep a watch over them. I Googled EATLAMB but I couldn't find out very much...just that they appear to have originated in Chicago and they're looking to start the next big fast food trend - Lamb Pops.

After that we had to be very careful, but fortunately, the Borghini Daddy showed up.
Ram Borghini affectionately known as "Dodge Ram"

The little lambs knew him at once so we felt safe in welcoming him into the family. He and his wife Mam had been in hiding and somehow the poor little lambs got separated from them. They thought that EATLAMB had surely gotten them and were very excited when their pictures turned up on Facebook. They had to separate to try to stay safe and for a long time, we were afraid that EATLAMB had caught poor Mam.

This week though we got the biggest surprise ever! Bimmer was tidying up the living room the other day after all the company had gone away again (we sure do miss them all!) and she found someone hiding in her bed!

Now Bimmer was pretty sure that she'd just found Mam, but the poor little Mommy was so nervous that Bimmer just settled in to calm her down a little bit.

THEN we called Dodge Ram in to see her. It's sort of hard to get him away from the lambs for any length of time, he's VERY protective, but Turbo promised to look after them. It was so touching when they met and sort of romantic too!

We're still not completely sure how she got here, we only know my friend, and Bimmer's cousin, Bernie has a lamb friend named Lambie and that somehow Lambie and a pancake house were involved!

THEN it was time for Mam to see her babies. She was soooooo happy! So were the lambs!

She gave them all lots of kisses and they ran all over the place baaing like you wouldn't believe!

We did manage to get a good shot or two of the happy family.

And then it was time to put the little babies to bed. They were so happy to have Mam sing them lullabies again. They've missed her Sooooooo much!

So has Ram! He's so proud of his little family!

And THAT my friends is the story of the Borghini family, complete with happy ending!

Check back tomorrow when I MAY make an important announcement. I haven't quite decided yet...

We'll see!

WOW #67: Detective Bimmer Sets the Record Straight!

Hi there everybody! It's me, Bimmer. Part time detective and full time princess at your service.

I've been thinking there was something a little fishy about this whole lawsuit thingy and so I've done a little checking.

First of all, I disguised myself as a nurse and went to check on MooseDog in the ICU.

He's improving a lot, but he says he hasn't talked to ANY lawyers and isn't planning to sue Dr. Mummy. (He does like the sound of all those treats though.)

When I got back from the ICU, I noticed Bentley hanging around Mummy's computer looking sort of furtive...

...so after he was out of sight, I sneaked over and took a look...

...and GASP! I found the template for that lawyer's business card!

Hmmm...I decided to do some more checking and I found this very telling photograph of "the incident"...

(One thing Bentley failed to mention in HIS blog the other day is that when MooseDog got injured in that Tug O War accident, he was actually being used as THE ROPE!) I thought more investigation was needed so next I checked the Olympic website and what do you know? Tug O War is NOT an Olympic event at all!

In case you were wondering if this was a one time thing, here's another photo for you...

What IS that you say? Well at one time it was the leg of a very cute kitty cat. I leave you to draw your own conclusions.

Now, you're probably wondering about the hydrotherapy/cotton candy thing. Well let me show you a couple of interesting items.

This is Exhibit A:

...or as we like to call him: Fuzzy.

Fuzzy showed up after Bentley's bath the other night.

Now THIS is Exhibit B:

...AKA Whitey.

Whitey made his appearance not long after TURBO's bath last night.

These are my conclusions:

1. MooseDog doesn't know anything about any lawsuit against Dr. Mummy.

2. BENTLEY used Mummy's computer to make that lawyer card.

3. If anybody is culpable for MooseDog's pain and mental anguish and so forth, it would be a couple of culprits who shall remain nameless (but they're my brothers!)

4. Little furry creatures just automatically appear after dogs take baths and since MooseDog is part dog, that "cotton candy" in the washing machine was actually HIS bath leftovers and not some terrible, awful injury at all.

Whew! Now that we've got that taken care of, let me get ready for a royal outing with my queen!

WOW #66: Look Out for the Ambulance Chasers!

Greetings everyone! Bentley here! I need a new typist! Or perhaps a happier day job for my current typist. I don't know.

Anyway, I have sort of upsetting news! All my Facebook pals probably remember what happened with my cute little Moose Dog a while back. For those of you who aren't "in the know", let me quickly fill you in...

This is Moose Dog.

Cute little fellow, isn't he?

Tragically, while training for the Olympic Tug O War Event, Moose Dog was seriously injured! Turbo and I discovered him in the "gym" in great pain!

It must have been a terrible accident! I don't quite know what happened. *Rolls eyes innocently*

We rushed him straight to Dr. Mummy for surgery and she worked very hard for hours and HOURS to save him! After surgery he spent quite a long time in the ICU.

Unfortunately we just found out he is SUING Dr. Mummy! He says the surgery went as well as could be expected, but the post-op therapy that was prescribed nearly KILLED him! He says that he really doesn't think the WASHING MACHINE is the best place for wounded athletes like him to receive hydrotherapy!

We can't post such graphic photos in a family blog, but you've seen cotton candy machines? You know what that looks like with the fluffy stuff all around the sides? That's pretty much how Moose Dog looked after his first therapy session!

He was recently approached by an attorney who handles cases like this all the time. Here's his card:

Mr. Barkley is sure Moose Dog can get a huge settlement! The list of complaints include:

1. Pain and Suffering
2. Emotional Distress
3. No Olympic Medal
4. Loss of Wages
5. Skinny Antlers


Mr. Barkley has drawn up a list of demands and he is pretty sure we...uh, I mean...Moose Dog can win most if not all of them.

Here they are:

1. Cookies!
2. Snausages!
3. TBonz!
(LOTS of all of these)

4. Bacon!
5. Bully Sticks!

(LOTS of these too!)


6. Two trips per month to Five Guys for 2 years (For Moose Dog AND his good pal Bentley!

Also a large assortment of new toys and a special blanket just for Moose Dog.


Mr. Barkley says this case will probably be settled out of court, but not to worry if there's a trial. He says Moose Dog (and his good pal Bentley) are so cute we -uh- THEY will just naturally win!


I don't know what Dr. Mummy is going to do! Mr. Barkley hasn't heard anything from her attorney yet. I'll keep you posted!

WOW #65: The Waddle, Part Two

In our last episode Bimmer and I had just arrived in Ocean City with our humans in tow and had settled in for the night. We now join the action the following morning... When we got up the next morning, after a sort of rocky night (It's not EASY sleeping in an unfamiliar bed! Mummy said Bimmer and I could sleep with her, but I jumped down and went to sleep on the bed she brought with us. Made it feel a little more like home.)we went for a little morning walk. Then Mummy and Auntie A went out and when they came back they brought us a surprise! Bacon! It smelled SOOOO good! We could hardly wait while Mummy made breakfast!

As soon as she got it ready I dug right in! Yuummm YUM!

After that we had to wait while Mummy and Auntie A got ready. Humans take FOREVER to get ready! Ever noticed that? I tried to prod Mummy along a little. (Here's your shoe Mummy, right over here!)

FINALLY we were Waddle Bound with flags flying!

The Meet and greet was SO much fun! We met LOTS of new friends and saw some old ones.

Here's the next Derby winner! We think that's John Velazquez up!

Here's a hound who's super ready, you can tell! That's Baxter's lovely and wonderful mom in the background helping with registration.

This next guy we were very excited about! Mr. Beach....The HOUND! Bimmer was very thrilled to meet such a celebrity!

Mummy said this was a VERY handsome hound. HUMMMMPH! Bimmer and I took a few moments from the mixer to have close up portraits done.

AND we finally got to see the debut of Baxter's super secret costume:

Do you know what he is? Some people didn't get it, but I did. So did Mummy and Auntie A. (He's a CHICK MAGNET! Aren't we all?) Baxter won second place in the costume contest. We all thought he should have had first! His costume was so clever and original!

Here's a picture of some of the homes we passed in Ocean City.

When we got to the boardwalk, I had to greet a lot of fans. I LOVE greeting fans! PREE-SENT Bell-EE! (Heehee, get a belly rub whenever you can, that's what I say) Bimmer and I asked Mummy if we could have some ice cream....

....but she didn't think it would be good for our tummies after all that excitement. (Sighs loudly) After a while we went back to the motel and Baxter and I talked cars for a while.

Bimmer was a little bored with all the guy talk. She said she wished she'd brought Lambchops along. But THEN we got the best surprise of all! My Aunt Amy and Uncle Jim stopped by! I was REALLY excited. I met them last year and we've been friends on Facebook for a long time but didn't know we'd met before until it was nearly time for THIS year's Waddle!

I LOVE my beautiful Aunt Amy! Bimmer liked her too:

Then I said "hi" to Uncle Jim. He's really cool too!

Me and Uncle Jim were busy talking and we both forgot we were supposed to be posing for the camera. We turned our heads at exactly the wrong moment!

Aunt Amy says my paws are as big as her hand! She LOVES my paws! :)=) We wanted them to stay and stay, but they were on their way home, so we had to let them go. It was very sad.

We went up to our room and took a little rest. Bimmer got on the bed with Mummy... ...and I TRIED to get in my bed....

...but Mummy had folded it up...

...and it was just....

...IMPOSSIBLE!! (snorts)

So the next morning after another delicious bacon breakfast, we packed up the car and headed for home, back across all those wells...

...and now Bimmer is dreaming dreams of next year's Waddle!
