WOW #42: Workin' Dog Part 5 Meetings

Greetings everyone! My Uncle CB came by yesterday and said I needed to get back to my blog! I didn't mean to neglect it, really! It just seems like nothing very exciting has happened since ReddLipps was shipped off to the banana-growing prison farm and the rest of the gang went underground. Sheriff Wyatt says it's just a matter of time now until they're all rounded up. I hope so! It wouldn't be good to have them prowling around during the holidays. Especially not at Christmas!

Anyway, it's just been business as usual recently, nothing new to report, but I thought I'd share about one of my very favorite things at work: meetings! I just LOVE meetings! They're just the BEST! The funny thing though is when I start making a speech or sharing my concerns, they all shush me! What is THAT about? Honestly! HUMPH!

Sometimes we have morning meetings and somebody brings food to go with the coffee. Those are the very best kind. One day recently, Auntie A brought in bagels. Yum yum! And she brought a special one just for me! Yum YUM!!

I LOVE getting my own bagel and not having to share!

Hmmm, they don't look this hard when Mummy and the Aunties eat them!

Maybe I should put some of that cream cheese on it, like they do...

Wow! This is sooooo good!

Uh oh! Crumbs! Let me just vacuum those up...

See? No vacuum required....

My OTHER favorite kind of meeting is a birthday meeting. I especially like it if we get to go over to the showroom for the meeting. Not long ago we had a really GOOD birthday meeting! We had Champagne with our cupcakes!

I commandeered a bottle early on...

(As you can see everything in our showroom is very bright and shiny! Makes it a little hard to get a good picture sometimes.)

Ummm, could somebody open this please?

Champagne and carrot cupcakes, YUMMMMMMMEEE!!

OHHHHHHHHH! I think maybe I overdid it just a little...I'll have to save that second bottle for another time I think.....



It was worth it though.....sigh! Mummy says Bimmer will be having a birthday soon. Hey! Maybe we can take her to....

to celebrate! I think Five Guys is the PERFECT place to celebrate, don't you? Auntie M and Auntie A took Mummy and me there last week to celebrate me being Basset of the Week. THAT was a VERY exciting thing, but I covered it pretty thoroughly on Facebook. I forgot people like Uncle CB aren't on Facebook!

Mummy said that to celebrate she would donate $5 to Michigan Basset Rescue for every copy of their cookbook that was sold last week (during my reign as Basset of the Week) in honor of Bailey Schmid Gallardo "de Queen"....a very dear friend of mine. There were EIGHTY-ONE orders last week, which meant another $405 to MBR!! You can still order a cookbook if you haven't yet, it has lovely Bailey "de Queen's" picture on the front and lots of great recipes inside! (I contributed one of my Grandma Ellen's cookie recipes) It would make a wonderful Christmas gift for all your friends! And just think of all those needy Bassets you'll be helping! Here's the link: http://www.cookbookforrescue.com/
Thanks so much for helping!

Now I'd better get back to work. Don't want to miss any meetings! Who knows? Maybe there'll be another birthday party!!

WOW #41: BREAKING NEWS!!!

Dateline: Chesterfield County, VA-This Afternoon.

THIS JUST IN: One of the Terrierist Gang has been captured! I repeat: one of the Terrierist Gang has been captured!

Guess who made the collar? ME! That's who! It all started with the cookies (Most things do you know)

Auntie A made some cookies and brought them in to share with us. They were yummy but we noticed that they were disappearing way too fast. We thought this was very strange and puzzling until THIS MORNING we caught those little scoundrels with their hands in the cookie bag! (and box)

Also noses...

They skittered off so fast we barely had time to turn around, but THEN we found them ransacking Mummy's office!

Terry the Terrierist was making a few calls.

ReddLipps was trying to access Mummy's computer info and...

Flatt da Cat was looking through the files. We think they were trying to decide which one of the Porsches to steal!

Flatt and Terry got away, but I got hold of ReddLipps before he could escape because he had to climb down from the monitor. I gave him a piece of my mind while we were waiting for Sheriff Wyatt too!

I've had about all the monkey business I can stand ReddLipps!

Stealing my sister's Lambchops!!

And the MILKBONES! Don't think I've forgotten about the Milkbones!

So you'd better just forget you're a chimp and sing like a birdie when Sheriff Wyatt gets here!

Wait Mummy! I wasn't done yet!

Let me have him back! I'll make him sorry!

Mummy put him in solitary confinement to wait for Sheriff Wyatt.

When Sheriff Wyatt arrived the first thing he said was:

(he has to say that you know) but I had already taken care of THAT!

ReddLipps spilled his guts the minute Sheriff Wyatt started asking questions!

Heh HEH!!

Sheriff Wyatt says with the information provided by ReddLipps, it's only a matter of time now before the rest of the gang is apprehended!

He also says ReddLipps has agreed not to press Basset Brutality charges in exchange for the chance to serve his prison sentence on a banana farm. The Sheriff agreed because he feels this will be just the thing to rehabilitate ReddLipps. He hopes to make a law-abiding chimp of him.

Stay tuned! More details in the Terrier/Cat Hunt as they become available!

WOW #40 Bimmer Has Her Say

Hi there everyone! Bimmer here. Bentley's at work and I was bored so I thought I'd try out the blogging thing! Bentley won't mind......I don't THINK Bentley will mind.....do you?

I came to live with my Mummy on August 30, her birthday. She says I am a very sweet birthday present.

I just love my brothers Bentley and Turbo! Bentley showed me how to play games and climb up on the sofa and do Facebook and everything. Turbo looks out for me and I know he wouldn't let anybody mess with me.

Here we are deciding what to order for dinner when Mummy gets home from work.

I have lots of friends on Facebook and I love them all. Even the people ones! When they come to my house though, I'm a little shy. Mummy says I'll get used to them and she tries to only have one person at a time so I don't have to get used to a whole party all together. Bentley can't understand. He says people are wonderful, they give belly rubs and hugs and cuddles and treats! He LOVES people, that's why he likes working so much. Turbo likes a few people, but not too many at once. I'm more like him I guess. So far I'd rather just stay with Mummy and my brothers although I do like other dogs. Sometimes Auntie A comes over. She's okay. She looks like Mummy and sounds like Mummy and she brings neat presents! She never tries to grab at me either so sometimes I let her pet me...once or EVEN twice!

What I really LOVE is my little Lambchops! She's my baby!

Here she is the day I got her. Isn't she cute?

Bentley thought she should have surgery, but I barked at him when he tried to give my Lambchops the once-over! Bentley's a wonderful brother, but I think maybe he has a surgery addiction, don't you? Do they have a twelve step program for that? Anybody can see my little Lambchops is perfectly healthy!


I was SOOOO scared when those bad Terrierists took her! I was afraid I'd never see her again!

But thanks to my brothers and my cousin Sheriff Wyatt, the bad guys got scared and brought her back!

I was really, REALLY glad to see her! Now Turbo guards her every night so they can't get her again.

I think she's forgotten all the scary lambnapping stuff now, don't you?

Now I have a little donkey too. Bentley insists that he's really sick and even Turbo tried to do a little surgery on him, but Mummy won't let them. She agrees with me that he's perfectly healthy and she told the boys that he was too cute to be "torn up". He IS awful cute! I love him ALMOST as much as Lambchops!

I sure hope the Terrierists don't do donkey-nappings too!

I just don't know WHAT I'd do!


Sheriff Wyatt says not to worry. He's got that gang on the run and it's only a matter of time now until they're rounded up. I feel so safe with my smart cousin looking out for us!

Now I think I'll go and take a nap. This blogging is very tiring work! I don't know how Bentley keeps up with it!

Thanks Bruddah for letting me try it out! (Even if you WEREN'T here at the time to give the go ahead! Hee hee!)

WOW #39 On the Prowl Again!

Hi Everyone! We've had a few quiet days here with no Terrierist sightings. Sheriff Wyatt has them on the run! We found out though that the family is not quite Terrierist free!

Auntie A found them at HER house. They didn't stay long. Partly because Auntie A doesn't have any pets for them to terrierize and partly because they were discovered so quickly.

They snuck into the house disguised as a birthday present...

...but as you can see her cracker-jack security team was on them like white on rice! You see nobody at Auntie A's place has a birthday this month!

They just barely escaped!

They tried hiding out in the kitchen while security was searching for them upstairs and they got into a lot of stuff.

ReddLipps the Chimp decided to practice his acrobatics.

He got that chandelier swinging pretty good! I'm glad he didn't break it down! Auntie A loves that chandelier! My Mummy gave it to her, that's why!



After that, The Terrierist and ReddLipps checked to see if there was any chocolate in that kiss fondue pot while Flatt da Cat practiced his camouflaging skills

He's really getting pretty good...

I guess the worst thing they did was steal a pair of Auntie A's black slacks while they were disguised as a pile of laundry...

I can't imagine what they wanted them for! Auntie A says maybe they needed material for parachutes.......UH OH!

Sheriff Wyatt, what do we do now?! Do you think they have a PLANE? OH NO! I hope they're apprehended soon!

I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything!

WOW #38: Expanded Territory

We've had a report from a family in Midlothian, VA. The Terrierist Gang was definitely at their house last night. Actually it was my friend, Lizzie's house so I'll let her tell you about it:

***********************

Thanks Bentley! It was just awful! I was the only one who saw them at first. No one else noticed them until they looked back at the Kitty Cam and found their pictures. Kasey and Newman were blaming ME for all the bad stuff and saying I just made up the story about the Terrierists to cover up!

First they infiltrated the house disguised as a bag of bagels.

I didn't see them at first, I must have been upstairs helping Purrson.

Here they are sneaking out of the bag!

Next they got into our food in the kitchen and made a big mess.

I didn't think dogs liked cat food? Anyway Kasey got really mad at me for spreading food all over the floor and I didn't even know what she was talking about! (But she's really very nice, MOST of the time.)

After they had eaten all they wanted, Flatt da Cat found the scratching pad...

....and got high on catnip...

Newman was upset about somebody messing with his scratcher and of course he blamed me.

Next they went upstairs to Purrson's room and went through her jewelry...

They spread it all over the floor so they could choose the best pieces.

The Terrierist used his famous nose to sniff out the precious metals.

THEN they started trying it all on. Here's Flatt with Purrson's earrings.

And The Terrierist had on her BRAND NEW necklace. He probably wants to give it to his girlfriend...or ONE of his girlfriends! I bet he's stringing along a dozen or more!

While they were sorting through the jewelry, Reddlipps found Purrson's nightshirt.

He seemed fascinated by the monkeys like him on it...

He even tried it on! Is that a tear in his eye?

Of COURSE Purrson thought I was the one who was playing with her jewelry and messing up her clean clothes!

I decided I needed to find out what was going on...

...that's how I happened to spot them playing on one of my pet condos!

I ran over to find out what they were doing, I thought they were new friends at first....

But THEN I noticed how they were destroying my condo and I got mad! I told them they had to leave and they just laughed at me!

So then I screamed for help!

Is anybody coming?

No? I'll have to save the house by myself!

I just told that Terrierist to get out or I'd show him what scratching is all about! So he and the others ran off.

When last seen they were creeping through the garage...

....probably looking for a car to steal!

Oh I'm just a nervous wreck! Oh Bentley! Please send Sheriff Wyatt and his posse over here as soon as possible! What if they come back?!

**************************************


Thanks for that report Lizzie! You were very brave chasing that gang away all on your own! I'll ask Sheriff Wyatt to come over there right away. Keep your eyes open until he gets there!

That's the report from Midlothian folks...stay tuned right here for more information!
