Yu haf no idea hw fablus I feel rite now.

Sned this to all who need inner piss. An tellum u
luvum.

I hope that you all get a chuckle out of this, I know that I did. We will be back soon.

Happy New Year, Blu and Tessa too

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Mom and I would like to

wish fur you and yours a

Happy New Year

that is blessed with

Health,

Wisdom,

Peace,

Love,

Happiness

and

a bit of Wealth too!

This has really been a year fur Mom and me in Blogville.

We is missin lots of furiends that went over the Rainbow Bridge,

we barked out loud with our furiends, we cried with furiends.

Mostly Mom and I have really had lots of FUN in Blogville.

I was suprised and fury happy to receive LOTS and LOTS

of pawsome treats and gifts fur Christmas.

I gots into one of the Christmas boxes when Mom

wasn't lookin, well, cause thats my job. Anyhoo, I

ates what I was not supposed to ate and cause of my

IBS and I gots fury sick. So really early on Tuesday

morning Mom and Mel rushed me to my Dawgtor.

Mom said I didn't know which end to put on my

wee wee pad. Yep, I was pooin and throwin up at

the same time. I was fury dehydrated, my Dawgtor gave

me an injection of IV fluid, another injection of

medicine to stops me from pooin and throwin up.

Mom and Mel was pretty worried bout me cause I is

so small and I lost a whole pound when the Dawgtor

weighed me. But I is back on my fury strict diet with

no noms at all and is startin to feel lots better. Mom

says that I is on my way back to my usual 5 pounds and

is gettin better every day.

I is still restin in my Sweet William blankie.

Mel decided to take ~~all my noms~~ matters into her own

hands and went to our local Animal Shelter and gave

all those pups my nom gifts. So to everypup that sent

me those nom gifts please know that Fury Deservin

pups got great noms fur Christmas.

Mom is fury overwhelmed with stuffs and says she is

feelin out of control. Since the TessaMobile, the stove,

the heater and then the TessaMobile again all stopped

workin fur us this month. We finally gots my TessaMobile

back to workin again I is happy to say. Mom and Mel

is still workin on gettin the other things fixed. Our

furiends lent us a room heater and that sure helps lots

fur now. We is usin our BBQ and microwave fur

cookin so we is OK there too fur now.

Mom says we gots to gets back on our feets again.

I keeps tellin Mom that we is on our feets, but,

well, you know Mom's! Sheesh

So Mom is takin care of me and I gots to take

care of Mom to make sure that Mom don't get her

icky pains again.

Mom and I talked bout it and we decided that we needs

to take a bit of a break untils some time in January.

So until then my furiends have a Pawsome New Year.

We love you all and miss you lots!

We will remember you, so don't furgets us, OK???

Wooos, Tessa

Presentin....part 3 and Somethin from Mom

2011-12-23T05:13:00.000-08:00

The
Holiday "Chew"

~~part 3~~

with me
Tessa.

Yea, yea they heard it all before Mom.

Just get to the good parts OK?

I do mean some good parts,

make sure you had some nom cause

there are a few cards that, well, just read on...

Now this one had me confused.

This card is from Bouncing Bertie, he's in Scotland

and it is super COLD there. Heck just lookin at his

picture on his card makes me shiver.

Wheew, I think the was a big breeze off of Bertie's

card and I had to thinks quick and catch it.

Bertie's card has a wonderful eau d'fresh Loch air.

Also there is a wee lingering odor I will call

eau d' Puffin Poop.

What can I say?

Bertie's card has a fine tooth to it. Yes, his card

is nice and thick but has just enough give

to lend a good chew.

This card is from Benny and Lilly and there is NO

doubt about it at ALL!

Nope, no hint of this or or eau d'somethin,

not at all,

this card has been rolled in the stuff! You

just know what I'm talkin bout don't ya?

CHEESE!

Pungently aged and finely crafted cheese!

Thanks Benny and Lilly I really enjoyed smellin

your envelope and lickin your cheesy card!

I just ripped into this card.

It's from Jazzi and Addy

Oh I bet each and efury one of you could tell

that this card just exudes

eau d'TACO's

Lots and lots of TACO smells!

Hey, where are the taco's?

Were there any in the envelope Mom?

This card is from Dory, Jakey and Bilbo

Oh this card as a very special smell on it.

Ah yes, I bow to the eau d'squirrel. Yes it is

fresh on this card, so very fresh. Those 3 are

the squirrel chasin trio bar none!

Now this card is definitely from the one

the only, the bout time she got her butt back to BlogVille,

Puddles, Albert and Whitney

Now I want you's all to know that this card had

way more than an eau d'smells to it.

Yep, the smell was really

RIPE,

as a matter of fact it

REEKED

so fury much that I...

fells right over from the fumes of

da beer!

On top of that, there was all kinds of orange powders

in the envelope and after thorough ~~lickin~~ inspection

I deducked that it was indeed none other than

Cheese-Toes dust.

I is sure that they was left over from Puddles snackin

over the envelope before she put my card in there.

There was NEVER a doubt that this card was

DEFINITELY from Puddles!

Thanks Puddles!

Woos, Tessa

Hello Everyone Blu here, I just wanted to tell you ALL

how wonderful each and everyone of you have been to us. I don't know

exactly why but for some reason there have been so many presents

arriving for Tessa it is almost overwhelming. I feel confused and can

only hope that we were not supposed to send gifts to everyone on the

Christmas Exchange List! If so, we are in real trouble and your gifts

are going to be VERY late! Some kind and generous person even sent

a secret Amazon Gift Card for $25 (this is the 2nd gift card we received).

I did not intend to say anything to elicit such an outpouring of gifts for

Tessa. But I want you to know that each and every gift is greatly

appreciated, more that you will ever know! Thank you so very much!

On a different note, Sandra is someone who truly deserves all the love

that Blogville has to give. I am awed by the outpouring of love that

has rightfully gone out to Sandra and the Pitti Pack. The wonderful

ideas that Blogville came up with; to send precious pieces of cloth so

that Agnes can craft a special Memory Quilt for Sandra and sending

gift cards instead of gifts so that Sandra can re-establish her home

the way she wants. It makes me so proud to be a part of Blogville's

generosity, compassion, and care for our community.

Thank you all so much for your kind words, gifts, special emails, holiday

ecards and snailmail cards. Each and every post brings such joy to me.

They usually make me laugh out loud, some make me cry and there are

a few of our more brilliant Blogvillians that make me take the time to

really think about what they have written.

To you ALL I say Thank you, Blu

OMD!!!

2011-12-22T05:13:00.000-08:00

Really!

I really mean OMD!

I can hardly believe this but ANOTHER pressie

arrived for ME!

Let me smell that box Mom.

Mom, there is a box in this box.

Who sent you such a beautiful

Christmas pressie box Tessa?

Gee Mom how the heck do I know?

Does this mean I can open up the pressie now?

No Tessa, you have to wait until Christmas.

But there is a card there from the pup who sent it.

This pressie is from Mango and Dexter

It really is a pretty box Mom.

Are you sure that I can't open it now?

No Tessa, not just yet.

Sighhhhhh.......

Thank you fury much Mango and Dexter.

I sure do appreciate this fine box.

I knows I'll preciate it more when I can open it!

Hugs and Woos, Tessa

Presentin....Part deux

2011-12-21T05:13:00.000-08:00

The
Holiday "Chew"

part deux
(see Benny and Lilly, I did pay attention in class)

Tessa.

So dingy Mom found me

four more cards that

wasn't even opened yet.

Yay more cards for me

to ~~eat~~ savor the essence.

So here for you is
Tessa's Holiday Chew

parts deux.

Oh yea, I know right away who this card is from.

Yep this card has a lot of slobber on it.

I just knew this card was from Mango and Dexter.

I am immediately overwhelmed by the fury Manly

eau d'HUGE Mango Man his self. There is a

faint eau d'Dexter but fury faint.

I gots to give this card a HUGE taste.

Gee, it does have to odd flavor of, a,

well, a fury unladylike smell. Ok, I will just

say it, this card tastes like a fart with
overtones of slobber.

Not bad really.

Oh, I can tell who this card is from.

I was right again, this card is from the special

Mollie Jo and Bobo. This card has the distinct

perfume of eau d'volunteering, generousity

and kindness.

This card I will just enjoy the perfume of and

Mom will just hang it in a special spot.

Oh, I can really smell the specialness of this

card. Reilly and Denny.

This card just has the eau d'bully stick and ginger

bread cookies. The taste was exactly that too.

Hey Mom what do you mean you missed me

~~chewin~~ tastin this nom card? OK, but don't

miss the next card. Sheesh, Mom's.

No this big and beautiful card is from

Dogs Trust in the UK. My wonderful UK Bros,

JD and Max and their Mom Clare.

They gave Mom and I a beautiful gift early this year

of supporting a sweet pup for a whole year in our

name. Now that is just PAWSOME!

Oh this smells like girls I know.

Yep, Chloe and LadyBug sent a real cute card.

Lots of spice smells here, I enjoy them a lot.

The taste though, yes the taste is gingery.

Yum, I do love a bit of spice.

Now this one I know already cause I was her

Christmas Exchange Buddy.

This card is from Miss Madi Kitty.

I is not gonna chew on it because I have seen

Bert's Allred and I is fury afraid of him and he

is a kitty so I'll just have Mom put this card up.

Thank you so fury much for the beautiful

card Miss Madi Kitty.

Oh I can smell the steps in this card,

can you guess who????

If you guessed George and Tess you guessed right.

I taste really old steps and a bit of yep, you

guessed again, a bit of pub.

Oh this is a real special card.

Yep, it's from none other than our own

Blogville Chief of Police Sarge

This card is fury special.

Take good care of it now Mom.

PLEASE

remember

Crossed Paws Christmas Auction

is still goin on.

Yep, there is still time to get that

special pup or peep a grrreat gift.

I want to THANK ALL my FURIENDS

for not only sendin me nom paper cards

but to the Furs that sent me beautiful

eCards too!

I wants you to know that ifs your nom card
was not mentioned then really it was all
Mom's fault,
not mine.
(I ain't doin ANYTHING to get off that nice list)

Also, thanks to all who have offered to get my
pressies down off the HIGH shelf for me.
But, I'll wait, cause like Remington says
only 3 more days!!!!!

Thank you everypup so fury much.

Mel has still not stuck all my cards on the

bookshelf YET, but I will keep after her and

and when we're done, to take a pic

so I can show you all how nice they look.

LOVE to ALL my FURIENDS.

woos, Tessa

Another Pressie!

2011-12-20T05:13:00.000-08:00

Oh I can hardly believe it.

Mom says that I gots a pressie from Miss Madi.

But Miss Madi was my Christmas Exchange Buddy.

I was sent Miss Madi a gift.

But I just gots to see whats in this package.

OK, yea looks like there is 2 pressies in here.

Yep, OK, I gots one out and now I is workin

on another one.

What do you mean it goes with the other packages

up on the shelf?

Come on, Mom?

PLEASE?

Don't take it away.

Oh all right, I'll still wait.

But only cause I can't get up to were

the pressies are.

SIGHHHHH.....

woos, Tessa

I sent a pressie???

2011-12-19T08:23:00.000-08:00

Yep, looks like I did.

I sent my Mom a pressie!

But, well, ahhh

you'll see...

Yep, look here, it's from me alright.

I did pick out a pawsome card I have to say.

Mom says it is postmarked from Portland, Oregon.

Mom also wants to know when I went?

Gee Mom, I haven't been anywheres without you.

Really.

I don't know what Santa Paws smells like

so I is not sure at all whos sent it.

The return addie says Tessa and thats ME.

But honest Mom I didn't go anywheres.

Inside the pretty card is a $25 gift card.

Mom says that it's not fur chewin.

Mom said that some fury generous and

caring peeps sent this to us.

Mom says that whoever sent it was

super nice to think of us.

I knows that it sure would help out Mom lots

right now, cause lots of fury important

things stopped workin.

To our Special Secret Santa Paws out there,

we cannot thank you enough for your kindness

and generosity and we send you special blessings.

The money is GREATLY appreciated.

More than Mom says you will ever know.

Mom and I also know that we might have it

kinda tough right now BUT we have our home.

Mom also said that she gots me.

So this is whats Mom and me thinks...

I is sure that you all know that the

Houston Pitti Pack

had a great tragedy, their home burned down

and 5 of their beloved pups did not get out.

Mom and I decided that Sandra and

her family could use this $25 gift

card lots more than us right now.

That said, we can only hope that you, our

Special Secret Santa Paws will agree with

us that we have made the right decision by

donating your beautiful gift to someone

who is in greater need.

Hugs and woos, Tessa and Mom Blu

Pee S...Mom is having some surgery this morning. So I am spending the day with my groomer.

I'm not fond of the bath but I do love going to see her and all my furiends there. Mom

is kinda stubborn so we will probably be back by the end of next week. You all have lots

of fun now and don't forgets me and Mom ok?

Berts Hat Challenge?

2011-11-10T05:13:00.000-08:00

Yep,

I told Mom that Bert was havin

a Hat Challenge and sure didn't

wanna miss that kind fun!

(Since we had an awful "momhap"

with the duck tape challenge that our

Pawsome Mayor for Re-Elect Frankie Furter

(he's got my vote!)

had goin on but gee, well, I don't wann scare Ernie by

showin him pics of what can happen if your Mom is not

watchin what she is doin with the duck tape and it

gets like WAY too close to your short but very

attached furs!

I'm just sayin, MOM!)

Oh yea, anyhoo, so I had the Mom get out the

flashy box and a hat. She picked a hat, well,

furst off it was NOT pink,

second off it was HUGE.

Like, Mom, how do you hold that huge

head of yours up?

Opps, off track again.

So I decided to show you the hat that was chosen

fur me by my Mom.

Really Mom? THIS is the hat that you

pick for me to pose in???

Oh sure Mom I'll try it on, just give me a minute

to grow a HUGE head like yours.

Sheesh, talk about the cone of shame!

Well, at least I got the darn thing off.

I think that I will leave the cute hat shots to the likes

of Benny and Lily, or Frankie or Bert,

heck, anypup but me!

woos, Tessa

I Gots a

2011-11-07T05:13:00.000-08:00

Package!!!

Yep,

me,

I gots a package!

Who's it from Mom?

It's from Oskar and his Mom Pam Tessa

Remember when you entered Oskar's contest

for the

Sleep Number True Silver Blanket Giveaway?

Sure Mom of course I remembers that!

Oskar and his Mom was asked to try out

this spiffy blankie and tell everypup and

their hooms all about it, right?

That's correct Tessa. After Oskar and Pam

told us all about the wonderful blanket,

Sleep Number offered to giveaway one of

their True Silver blankets to the winner

of Oskar and Pam's contest. Let's get

that box open ok?

Oh yea Mom now your talkin!

Oh Mom this looks like a nice little blankie.

It really is a lot bigger Tessa, we need to

take it out of the plastic case it came in.

We had the option of ordering the king size
or the queen size in our choice of color.
We ordered the queen size in EggShell.

Are you gonna open it yet or what Mom?

It sure is a pretty blanket Tessa.

Ah, ya Mom, sure it is.

Ooh, it really smells good Mom.

So nice and soft too.

Oh, it sure is a comfy blankie Mom.

If you cover me now I can have a quick nap.

Gee that map was not long enough Mom.

It's OK Tessa, I'll put it on the bed and we will

give this blanket a try, OK?

Oh I like it Mom, it looks just pawsome!

OK Mom, I'm ready for bed now, I even gots my

jammies on! Let's give the bed a try.

Oh Tessa, we really won such a fantastic

pressie. I can hardly believe it but I actually

had a Fanstatic nights sleep. I am so thrilled

with the Sleep Number True Silver Blanket.

Because of all of my surgeries it has always

been very difficult for me to have a blanket

over me. But last night I was so warm and

cozy yet the blanket was so light covering

me that I had such a wonderful nights

sleep with no pain from a heavy blanket.

It truely was blessing having won this

wonderful True Silver Blanket.

You really did us proud when you crossed

your paws that we would win!

Sure Mom, anything to help you out!

Thank you again to Oskar and Pam!

woos, Tessa and Blu

Certainly Not Wordless

2011-10-27T05:30:00.000-07:00

Mom keeps sayin

"it's almost November,

it's almost November."

Mom and Mel are gettin the puter

all back so it's OK. She grumbles, says HBO

words then laughs cause her speech

program spelled out her HBO words.

Then she starts all over again.

I sure hope Mom is not totally crazy.

I know that she's a little crazy though.

sighhhhhhh....

Gee Mom I sure hope that your not gonna

furget Halloween! Cause Blogville has like

the Bestest Halloween like EVER!

Mom?

MOM!!!

Nefur mind...

Sheesh, she's back on the puter talkin

and laughin to herself again.

This puter stuff sure does take a lot out

of a pup, I gots to tell you.

I is gonna take a nap now.

See you all real soon.

Hugs and Woos, Tessa

XXXOOO to my Beau Louis

Blu here... I would like to thankall of you for your

wonderful uplifting comments andsuggestions. I would

also like to thank Frankie for his wonderful comment and

suggestion that anyone who wouldlike to send us your email addie so

that I can restore the address bookagain. So if any parents would

like to help out a bit and email metheir email address

I sure would appreciate it. I do all my computer work with a

speech program called Dragon Speak.As great as the program

is it really is slow compared totyping and using a mouse.

Cutting and pasting can be a trialtoo.

We finally have our good old Dell XPS gen 2 back. It's 11 years old

but with it's new hard drive it'sworking quite well. We have

also signed up with SugarSyncfor free cloud backup and have

also begun using CruserSync thumbdrive for backup as well. Time just

flew by and before we knew it thelast time the computer was backed-up

was in March. Oh well, such is life.Lesson definitely learned!

On a wonderful end note, Mel found all of Tessa's pictures on the camera's

memory card! For that we are justthrilled and grateful! I know that

Tessa is relieved knowing that shewon't have to have more pictures

than normally taken!

Take care my wonderful caring blog friends.

Peace, Blu

Poopie Month Update

2011-10-25T16:21:00.000-07:00

Sheesh there sure has been lots goin on at my house
I gots to tell ya all.

Firstest my Mom has been saying lots of HBO words
like for 87 days now.

Our puter died is the big deal now. Somethin
bout a hard drive. I is so not sure bout that
cause I have never gone bye-bye in the puter.

Anyways I is at my furiends house Sammy and
she is letting Mom and me use her puter for real
quick like. Cause I told Mom I is missin like
everything goin on in Blogville! I mean I even
forgots that it was Tuesday! Cause I didn't see my
Ba da Bing Benny and Lil Lilly blog, I mean that
is like furry bad!

So Mom is way upset, something bout we don't got no
more of my beautiful pictures, this is very very bad.
I is gonna have to look cute for like furever with
Mom and her flashy box, oh brother.

Then somethin bout bla bla bla no documents,
bla bla bla no passed words. The mostest impawrent
thingy is we don't got no more furiends email addies!
That means no more home addies for special cards and
stuffs either. That dumb old hard drive took all that
stuff with it and no matter how hard the puter guy
tried he couldn't find nothin but messy stuffs. So
we is starting all over again but Mom knows how to
back up stuff now so this won't happen again!

Anyways, I just wanted to say HELLO to everypup.
I wanted you alls to knows that we is comin back
real soon cause Mom is only sayin 5 or 11 HBO words
a day right now and that is like way better than the
87 she was sayin when the puter first died.

Sheesh, hoomans, they gets so darn upset for like
dumb reasons. I mean, I still gots great foods to eat,
my blankie has the perfects smells on it and of course
I still gots my Frankie deer antler. So whats the big
deal? Who knows, Moms, gotta love them.

We don't gots time yet to see everypups blog posts but
I promise we will be back real soon.

Hugs & XXXOOO to my Beau Louis, I sure miss you lots!

Woooooo's to all my furiends, Tessa and Mom too

Is it November YET??!!??!!??

2011-10-21T19:29:00.000-07:00

Blu here,

I think that I will be happy when November
finally comes, which I know is right around the corner.
Thankfully!

What a month this has been.
First the foxes.
Then the dead rabid fox.
Then dealing with the State Wildlife agency.
Well, you remember all of that, which I won't repeat.
The foxes have thankfully moved on or died I'm not sure which.
The raccoons are getting a bit tired of not gettng on the deck I think
and not coming as often. Happy that.
I took a minor fall on the deck but nothing
was broken, I was just very sore.

Now my 11 year old computer died. I am at a friend's
house using theirs. Mel took my computer to
a repair place on Thursday. I have lost everyones
email addresses, anything that I had saved on the
computer. I had no back-up. Yeah, I know.
But for me it's a money game and a back-up costs money.
Then again so does having my computer repaired.
Once burned, twice learned. So I am saving up for
a HD back-up, after I pay the tech for bringing my computer
back to life that is.

I was supposed to get my computer back today.
They kindly said they would deliver it when
they called today at 4:30 pm to tell me it was fixed.
One of the 2 techs lives out here in the boonies
close to me. Well it is 7pm now and I still have no computer.
Sigh....

I just wanted to let every one of our friends know
that we are still here and OK but do not have access
to a computer at all this weekend.

Please know that we have and will miss you all so much.
You ALL are the light that shines for me in my small world.
Most of you know that I am pretty much home bound.
But your beautiful posts let me soar!
Your vivid posts allow me to climb your mountains,
run up steep steps, help to can grape juice and veggies for the winter,
go on wild boat rides. In other words you ALL enable me
to see the world. For that I thank you so very much.

Please know that we will be back, hopefully very soon.

Please don't forget us and we will be thinking of you all.

Hugs and woos, Blu and Tessa too

Couture a la Lorenza

2011-10-14T05:30:00.000-07:00

I gots another package this week.

This one was from the Great Fashion Designer

Lorenza herself!

Let me give you all a quick fashion show...

This first creation from the House of Lorenza

is a little party dress in deep pink cotton with

little squares of flowers.

As you can see the ruffles is above the long

flowing hem. Notice how I put out my paw

to stand like a model.

Now this beauty a girl can wear daily if she

desires. It is pink cotton covered with little

whimsical daisy's all over.

Can you see how the back of the skirt is

rounded and finished with a gentle ruffle

of the same material? These touches are

just so Lorenza.

Notice the magical perkiness of the bow

on the center of this couture dress?

These are the delightful touches that are

ever present in all of the House of

Lorenza creations.

Not only did I receive 2 one of a kind

Lorenza's BUT I actually received

a paw written note from the desk

of Blogville's Famous Designer,

Lorenza!

Can you read it? Yes she refers to me by my

call name, Tessa. Miss Lorenza also includes

my Mom but that was just to be polite. Beclaws

Miss Lorenza is everything including polite!

To Miss Lorenza I say

THANK YOU FURRY MUCH!

Au Reoir, Contessa

PeeS...Those fancy words are courtesy of my Mom. I would have just said Woos, Tessa. I think she hit her head when she fell.

I gots pressies!

2011-10-10T09:27:00.000-07:00

2011-09-29T10:43:00.000-07:00

I sure was surprised yesterday evening when

Mel brought home the mail. There was a package

and it was just for ME!

The OP Pack sent me a package!

I just knew something nommy was in it

because it smelled soooooooo good!

This bag is huge! It it really what my nose says it is?

Oh my is it really the the famous Duck Jerky

that everypup has been barkin about???

Oh my dogness!

Phantom, Thunder, Ciara and Lightning

must really like me lots to share this HUGE bag

of Duck Jerky with me!

Heck there is enough here for one whole

~~day~~ year for me!

Really, is that big piece all for me?

Because of my tummy problems (IBS) I can only

have certain treats. But Mom says that because the

jerky is all duck, dried not greasy, that the dawgtor

thinks my tummy will be OK! I can only have one

piece for now and I have to wait a few days to

see if I get sickie or not. If I don't get sick then

I can have ~~all I want whenever I want~~ one piece a day!

OMD this sure is nommy!

So this is what you have all been barking about.

Oh this is pawsome, scuse me while I chew

this beautiful piece of Duck Jerky!

Oh yea, the flavor is marvelous!

I could eat this for every meal!

A very BIG Woo Wooo

Thanks

to the Wonderfully Pawsome

OP Pack and their Mom Kathie.

It was so very nice of them to send me all that

Duck Jerky to try out. Mom thought that they would

just send a jerk or two to see if my tummy can

handle the Duck Jerky. But they sent like 87 pieces!

I sure hope that my tummy can handle the

Duck Jerky cause I know my mouth can!

woos, Tessa

PeeS...soooo far (paws crossed) the foxes and raccoons have NOT returned to MY deck! Mom finally got an answer about lending us a live trap from the Dept of Wildlife, the same guy that picked up the dead rabid fox. He said no, they did not have the time or resources to bring it out and pick it up. When Mom finally asked why they seemed to have a who cares attitude about the remaining foxes she was told "we are more concerned about they area where we know the rabid wildlife is, not your area. Besides it was only one fox." When Mom said, are you kidding me? He said, "Ah, no, let us know if you find any more dead ones until then there is nothing we can do, bye now." Yup, Mom says this is small town politics at its best!

Fox Update

2011-09-26T05:00:00.000-07:00

Yep this here is a poopy fox

and noisy raccoon update.

Can you guess what we have had

for 2 straight nights?

If you guessed 2 whole nights of SLEEP

then you guessed correctly!

Yippee!

Yep those ~~poopin pests~~ visitors were here all right.

These are the side steps to my deck. We have

always had the gates up to make it safe for me.

But the foxes and raccoons don't care and

just jump over the gates with big thuds and

make lots of noise running up and down

the length of MY deck.

The raccoons sound like they were out

partyin and had one too many. Then

decided to climb the gates and fall

onto my deck to start a new party!

Mom says that it would be very funny

if it didn't make her so mad because

she can't figure out what they find so

interestin on my deck.

They have been poopin and peeing on

MY deck too! That is just so very rude!

Not like the nice deer poo, nope, this is

some nasty poop! Heck even I won't

go near it for a smell or a roll.

Fur some reason Mom is quite

happy with this. Go figure.

Let me tell you what my MacGyver Mom

came up with. Of course Mom had my help

and guidance all along the way.

Mom had Mel put bird netting over

the top of the stairs and down the side of

the gate on both the side and front steps

of my deck. Then put white rope on

the top of the netting so's they would see

the netting and wouldn't jump up and

get caught in it.

For the first 2 nights straight those

~~rotten intruders~~ visitors. They started

coming at their usual time of 1am.

I thinks they must have clocks or

somethin. They would come to

the side deck steps, make lots of

noise shaking the gate tryin to

figure out how to get on my deck.

It was weird, they would leave after

half an hour or so and go have lunch

or somethin then at 3:30 or 4 am they

came back and would go to the front deck

steps and make lots of noise there pulling

and picking up the gate trying to find

a way on to my deck. Sheesh, for

not havin any foods or treats or even

Puddles' beer on the deck, I sure can't

figure out why they want on MY deck.

Hey maybe they drove Puddles from

Blogville and that's why nopup has

seen or heard from her. Oh, alright,

Mom, sheesh, I'm just sayin.

Ya gots to remember, there is NOTHING

on my deck that would attract them.

There are only a few large potted plants,

2 chairs and a small table. Everything else

was removed. There is no food, water,

treats, fruit, seeds, nope,

NOTHING!

Mom stopped feeding seeds to the birds

about 5 years ago because she could not

get down to the feeders daily to take care of

them. The feeders also attract foxes

and raccoons for the spent seed as well as

the birds themselves.

So Mom and I was up in the wee hours

cause I kept barkin tellin the ~~varmits~~

visitors to get the ~~h&##~~ heck off my deck.

Mom was trying real hard to think of a

way to get those ~~rotten poopers~~ visitors

to not want to come on MY deck at all.

Then Mom had an idea!

(Mom gets pretty excited bout havin

an idea cause she says that her pain

med brain don't think good like it used to.

Sure Mom blame it on your pain meds!)

The next morning, on Saturday, Mom had

Mel hang out 2 VERY Stinky plastic rounds

of mothballs.

These things smelt BAD! Heck I wanted

nothing to do with them at all! I told Mel

you go ahead and hang them and I'll

wait for you WAY over on the other side!

Mel hung 2 stinkys on each gate Saturday

night. Then we all watched a bit of TV,

we were so very tired that we went to bed

very early. And guess what, we didn't

wake up until 6am! That is our everyday

time to wake up. We slept the whole

night through!

We didn't want to get our hopes up

too much, so Mel hung out the stinkys

on Sunday night too. We all slept through

that night too!

Sooo, we think that the

foxes are still living under our shed.

But right now the bestest thing is that

they are staying off of MY deck!

Mom is going to have Mel put

some of the stinkys around the shed

and see if this helps them to move on.

This is a picture of me this morning after Mel

put the stinkys in a zip bag. Dang sure

does smell better out here Mel. But I don't

mind the stinky as long as I have my deck back!

There was a tiny blurb in our local paper

about finding a dead rabid fox in

our "area". But nothing else.

Mom put in 3 calls this past week to our

Dept of Wildlife to the officer on the case

that came out to collect the dead fox.

Mom left messages to ask if we could borrow

a HavAHart trap. Mom has not heard back yet.

Mom called the local Animal Control to ask

to borrow traps from them. She was told that

lending their traps was only for catching

dogs or cats. Mom was wondering

if their traps know the difference between

wild animals and domestic ones.

Mom also called our local Health

Dept but was promptly referred to the

Dept of Wildlife. I guess it is their

little circle, it just goes round and round.

Each hooman referring Mom to the

next hooman hoping that they don't

have to go out of their way and do

their jobs. Oh well, wata ya gonna do?

Mom, Mel and I hope that the stinkys

and netting works to keep the critters

off MY deck and outa my yard.

We miss postin and hope to

be back to it real soon!

Before we go

We want to say a

GREAT

BIG

THANK YOU!

Everypup and their Pawrents

for ALL their

Great Suggestions

Kind Concerns

and

Warm Thoughts.

woos, Tessa and my peeps too!

What a week it's been....

2011-09-19T09:22:00.000-07:00

Hello to all my furiends.

I is very sorry that I we have

not been bloggin but I gots a

real good scuse for it.

Let's see,

it all started about 3 months ago.

We had 2 Gray Foxes move

in. They were under our shed

which is only 50 feet from my front

door. They made a home under

the shed. Mom was not too upset.

Then.

But, you guessed it, that is when

the troubles began.

I have this great deck that goes all

the way around my house. I loves

this deck because I go out there with

Mom and I run, run, run and I sit in the

sun and well I just have a pawsome time.

About 2 months ago there started to be

all kinds of noise on MY deck at midnight

and at 4:30 in the am EVERY night!

Needless to say I was very upset, and I

barked at them to go away and leave my

deck. Mom was not happy with me, but

hey I had to tell them didn't I?

Mom called our state Dept of

Wildlife on how to discourage them from

staying and how to encourage them to leave.

Mel put moth balls under the shed. She put

a stereo on playing rock music on all day long

with the speakers facing the floor. We put

on the sprinkler so that it would hit the metal

shed every morning and make the foxes leave.

Welllll,

the foxes pulled the moth balls out of the shed.

Pooped ALL over MY deck. (I don't even do that!)

Pooped ALL over the flower garden and in front

of my front door!

Then they ate my lizards, song birds wild

Finches and my Blue Jays too.

They ate the squirrels (that was ok with me),

chased away my deers and Moma with Baby,

then continually frightened my

chickens so they were too scared to lay.

Now I was MAD!

I was no longer able to go out on MY deck

unless I was wearing my harness and leash!

My deck smelled terrible, the foxes left

pee mail on my deck!

It said they want me OUT!

(Mom thinks they want to eat me!)

This is NOT good!

Two weeks ago Mom and I were going

to her doctor visit. We opened the front

door and there was a fox sitting on my front

steps! Yikes!! Mom yelled at it.

I barked at it.

You know what it did?

It came CLOSER to the door!

(we have a glass and screen door)

That's right and it barked right

back at me! No matter what Mom

or I did the fox would not go away.

Mom called the Dept. of Wildlife again

and told them what had happened.

Mom said that the foxes were being

aggressive and it was noon!

Mom says that the foxes are usually

sleeping at that time.

The officer said not to worry,

keep doing what we were doing. Our

county did not capture and relocate.

They only captured and killed.

Mom did not want these wild animals

to be killed, just to move on.

So, we have been trying everything

that the officer told us to do plus what

Mom could find out on the computer.

Nothing seemed to help.

This is a picture of the Mama fox not 20 feet from

my front door. Her and her mate would stare at

us if we opened the door. If I barked they would

come right up to me!

YIKES!!!

Well, like I said, it all went sideways last week.

That is why we have been away from Blogville.

Mel went down to the chicken coop to

check up on my chickens and came back

up to the house real quick.

She found a dead fox, one of the

babies born when they first got here.

It was such a beautiful animal.

Mel said that it looked like the fox

was asleep. Mom called the Dept.

of Wildlife AGAIN and they said

na, don't worry about rabies, even

if the foxes has been acting weird,

we haven't had any rabies in our

area ever.

Well, Mom kept insisting and told

the officer how scared she was and
that she was disabled and could not
even leave her own home. Well

the officer finally said that they would

come out and pick up the dead fox and

they will have it sent to the state lab.

Below is a picture of the dead

little guy, it is not gross,

he just looks like he is sleeping.

But I wanted to warn you.

So last Tuesday the officer came out

and picked up the pups body.

We didn't hear anything until

this past Friday.

The fox pup died of rabies!

Yep, the whole Dept. is in an

uproar!

We are too!

We still have the parents on the

property. The Dept says that the

parents probably have rabies but the

state don't have the funds to set traps

for them so we will just have to

wait and see.

The only good thing is that since

the pup has died there have been

no more deck outings in the middle

of the night by the foxes. We are

not quite sure what this means

and Mom and Mel and me too are

very vigilant when ever we open our

front door and step out.

Mom and Mel think that the parents

are sick with rabies as well and that

if they have not moved they may be

dead themselves under the shed.

Please be patient with us, we are to

see everypups blogs each day but

all the worry and stress is not good

for Mom. Mom is taking things

real slow right now becasue she is

tired and her pain is elevated.

So Please bare with us.

Oh yea, please keep your paws

crossed that the parent foxes have

just moved on and are fine, but

fine deep in the woods!

woos, Tessa

Meet my new furiend!

2011-09-13T05:00:00.000-07:00

We were on the way to the Pawm in

our pink limo that the boy rented.

We sure had a lot of fun!

I was tellin Dex there in the front to go on

and sit next to Rubie! Gee for being older than

Louis he sure is shy with the girls.

Anyway after Dex finally went over and sat

next to Rubie I sat down with Louis and

we enjoyed the ride. Louis said we should

stop and get a bite to eat. Gee these UK guys

are so very considerate too. Course it's not like

I have dated any US guys either.

Louis and I had our pic taken willingly at the

Pawm. You know that Pawm was the bomb!

The DJ was wailing and we were all dancing.

Louis and I practiced the Pawltz and we did

OK, but when the real music came on that

boy said no, he couldn't dance.

Couldn't dance? Are you kidding me he was

Grrrrrreat! We danced the night away!

Look at my handsome guy! Isn't he something?

I want to thank my pawsome date and fabulous

dance partner Louis! I had a marvelous time!

I sure hope that everypup had a wonderful time.

I want to also thank the BoonDocks for the Pawm!

Anniversary woos, Tessa

Toys, Toys, Toys...

2011-08-17T05:13:00.000-07:00

Oh yea!

I LOVE stuffies!

So way back when Mom and I won

Coco Beans contest for her new

blog we won with the name

Coco Bean Knows.

The contest was back in June but

Coco Bean's Mom had to have surgery

and is just now feelin a bit better.

So they mailed out a package. But we did'nt

get the package. So Mel went to the Post to

ask where the heck the package was.

They finally found my package up on a

shelf where the cleanin supplies were.

I say it was some dog tryin to keep my

stuffie prizes but Mel says it was just a

accident. Yea right.

Anyway Mel brought home the prize

package and I got right down to doin what

I loves to do. Open and play in boxes.

This is me pullin out one of the 3 stuffies that was

stuffed into the post box!

BOL I made a Frankie funnie!

I got to tell you that tiger stuffie was in that

box real tight. But I worked and got it out.

They I had to pull out the zebra stuffie. You notice

that Mom was of no help at all. No she had the

flashy beast in her hand and was too busy.

I finally got zebra out and Mom was like "Oh Tessa

you did a great job pullin out that stuffie all by your

self" Yea, no kiddin Mom!

For some reason the frog stuffie just hopped right

out of the box! Another Frankie funny. I is crackin

myself up here. Must be stuffie fumes or somethin.

Then I got to work teachin these stuffies that they

was mine! No gettin back in the box now.

Yea, I had to teach the frog to stay where I put it.

Oh no you don't you stay here, I'll teach you to try

to run away.

Now that I have squeeked, chewed, thrown, pounced,

flung and chased all my stuffies into submission I sure

am tired.

Sighhhhhhhhhh, nap time.

A GREAT BIG

Thank You

Coco Bean, Truffle, Godiva and their Mom

for the 3 pawsome stuffies!

woo, Tessa

What a WONERFUL Gift!!!

They're BACKKKKKK!!!!

2011-08-12T06:13:00.000-07:00

You bet ya.

What is back you ask?

The Momma Deer and Baby!

Yep they came home!

If you don't remember or ifs you didn't
see when my Baby deer was tiny

then you can check it out here.

Here they are at the back of our house. Mom was

on the deck in her wheelchair just lookin out
the back door and I was the one who saw them.

Momma deer has a scar on her front shoulder.

That is how my Mom and I know that

she is OUR deer. Momma deer was

born on our property and hangs out

here a lot. But this is the first time that

we know of that she had a baby.

Of course my
BIG Brother Frankie and his Dad
were correct! Momma Deer
did move her Baby around a lot. But
she did come back home after a while.

I ask Frankie and his Dad like everything
there is to know bout all kinds of critters.
Cause Frankie and his Dad knows everything
there is to know about ALL the critters!

Can you see how big Baby is?

Baby is about 2 months old.
Frankie and his Dad say that baby deer have
thier spots until they are about 4 months old.

Hopefully we will be able to get more
pictures as she is growing up too!

Momma Deer does not mind us too much.

But Baby wants none of us being around.

I don't think she likes the flashy box either!

Frankie and his Dad say that Baby deer will nurse
until she about 4 months or Momma is out of milk.

I sure hope that everypup and their Pawrents have

as PAWSOME weekend.

I also hopes that is cools down SOON!

(course the weather is so not listenin to me cause

I have asked like 87 times now)

woos, Tessa

PeeS... A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU to BIG Bro Frankie and his Pop
for all their amazing knowledge about my deer and for gettin back to me considerin that their garden is still poopin veggies and they are very hard at work chopping and blanchin and canning and freezin. Gee I'm just tired writin bout it. Special HUGS and Kisses to them both!
