Sleepy Little Husky

Where have I been?

2010-11-19T01:45:00.000-06:00

I haven't posted in a while, guess I've been busy! We're sending out Christmas cards that double as save the date's this year--just ordered them from shutterfly.com. Check it out!

On a Completely Unrelated Note...

2010-06-23T22:55:00.000-05:00

My humans are engaged.

I wonder if they'll let me be the flower girl in the wedding?

Summer has Arrived

2010-06-23T22:51:00.000-05:00

Summer is here, and so is the hot weather. It's been in the upper 90s all week. My humans bought me a new pool (my old one sprung a leak)!

Good to the Last Drop

2010-06-02T21:42:00.002-05:00

Look close...

Can you see it?

Yes, my tongue is blue!
Here's why...

It's my Birthday!

2010-04-29T00:05:00.000-05:00

I don't do clothes... and I don't do hats.

Why do they subject me to this? Because it's my BIRTHDAY! I turned 3 on Wednesday.
At least I got a great present... and new chew toy!

Hey Strangers!

2010-04-13T23:16:00.000-05:00

Sorry, I don't have any new photos to show you. My owner's camera isn't working right now. I just wanted to let my faithful readers know that I'm still here... and I have a birthday coming up! I'm turning three (which I guess in dog years means it's the big 21...Look out tequila shots!). It's not for another two weeks, but I wanted to give everyone a heads up so they could prepare and send gifts if they were so inclined. :)

I'm Still Here!

2010-03-24T13:47:00.000-05:00

Don't worry, I'm still around. My human has been so busy with work though, she hasn't had time to take any pictures or post about me!
If you need to fulfill your husky fix, here are some pictures of me when I was going through my "awkward" stage. I was outgrowing my puppy face and trying to grow into some giant ears. Enjoy!

I'm Going to be Lonely

2010-03-09T11:13:00.000-06:00

I spent the weekend at the doggie hotel. They always give me a bath and dress me up with a bandana when it's time to go home.

This time it was a St. Pat's scarf. I was being shy when it came to taking a picture.

Meanwhile, my mom is going back to work today. I'm going to be lonely now. I got used to her being home and taking me to the dog park a lot!

It's a Bird, It's a Plane...

2010-03-04T12:10:00.000-06:00

I sometimes bark at the neighbors. I bark when I want to come inside. But I also bark at weird things flying through the sky. Yesterday I got caught barking at something I've never seen before.

Puppy Pictures

2010-02-28T21:13:00.000-06:00

I thought you might like to see what I looked like as a puppy. I sure look different now!

All Snuggled Up

2010-02-25T14:54:00.000-06:00

Geez...I haven't posted in so long you'd think I've been busy. I haven't, just haven't been doing much to warrant a post. Here's a funny picture for the day.

As if I didn't have enough fur to keep me warm, my humans decided to swadle me in blankets. What were they thinking?!

Learning to Talk

2010-02-17T12:12:00.000-06:00

Well we all know I can bark, and I can howl with the best of them...but my humans find it necessary to teach me to talk. They're trying to teach me to say "I love you." I'm 2/3 of the way there.

Stealthy Like a Gator

2010-02-10T22:43:00.000-06:00

It may not look like it, but I'm pretty stealthy. I prefer the sneak attack when it comes to getting my toys. Take a look.

Here's another angle (sorry about the poor video quality)

Celery Isn't the Only Thing I Don't Like

2010-02-09T14:48:00.000-06:00

Earlier this week I showed you a veggie I don't care for. Newsflash: it's not the only veggie I don't want to eat.

Why do they keep trying to get me to eat this stuff?!

Take a look at that though. I may have a future as a food artist!

Super Bowl? What Super Bowl?

2010-02-07T22:21:00.000-06:00

There was a big game on TV today, but I'm not talking about the Super Bowl. This game was huge, and it definitely captured my attention.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen...Puppy Bowl VI was on today.

It was a good game, despite all the penalties.

In the end, I think the puppies won.

Don't get me started on the kitty half-time show, though. It was a bore.

Yuck!

2010-02-06T21:03:00.000-06:00

I don't get people food often, so when I do, I eat it up. However, today I learned there is one thing I do NOT like.

It seems harmless enough, so I give it a sniff.

Smells okay. I'll taste it.

And then I leave it. Celery...yuck! It needs some peanut butter.

The Snow is Starting to Melt

2010-02-02T18:14:00.000-06:00

The snow from last week is starting to melt (finally!). Luckily, before the sun came out I got a chance to play in it. Here are a few pictures of me playing, and a look at the ice and snow.

Frozen Toys

2010-01-29T18:13:00.000-06:00

It's kind of hard to play with some of these toys when they're frozen solid!

Wanna Come Out and Play?

2010-01-29T14:59:00.001-06:00

Wanna come out and play?

Good. I could use some help. You see, first we got some freezing rain/sleet here, then snow fell on top of it. What does that mean?

It means my toys are frozen to the ground.

Maybe I can paw it out. No, that's not working.

Maybe I can pull it out with my teeth. That's not working either. I need to get down to the same level.

Someone please come help! The snow is still falling, soon it will disappear!

Pictures from the Storm

2010-01-28T16:40:00.001-06:00

Don't let the pictures fool you, that's sleet making our yard white, not snow! The sleet is still coming down. The snow isn't supposed to start until later. I went outside to run around, but those ice pellets hurt when they hit you in the face!

If you look close on this picture of the table you can see the sleet bouncing around as it falls.

Here Comes My Kind of Weather

2010-01-28T12:53:00.000-06:00

The past two days I got to spend some time in the sunshine at the dog park. The weather was great! (and I helped rescue two runaway huskies). Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures.
Today is a different story. It started out rainy, we've seen sleet, and we're supposed to get ice and snow. This is my kind of weather. Stay tuned for snow pictures!

Wanna Go for a Walk?

2010-01-22T15:10:00.003-06:00

I get pretty excited when I hear those magical words, "wanna go for a walk?". Sometimes when asked, I even have a vocal answer. And of course it's important to stretch first.

It's also important to check the conditions outside before you go. I've learned how to get a good peek, even when the blinds are closed.

The Dog Park is Tiring

2010-01-18T20:18:00.000-06:00

We went to the dog park today. It wore me out.

I decided to take a break and lay in a giant mud puddle. My white fur was brown with caked on mud. Unfortunately there are no pictures to prove it, but let's just say it required a spray down with the hose in the yard when we got home. The whole experience wore me out. So I'm going to take a nap.

I Miss the Snow

2010-01-13T19:57:00.000-06:00

The temperatures have been above freezing for the past few days, which means the Christmas Eve snow is finally starting to melt. Luckily we still have a bit of it left in the yard where it doesn't get much sun.

So for now, I'm going to hoard what's left.

I will dig in it and burry my face in the small pile that's still here.

And I will eat snow cones!

Oh how I LOVE snow cones!

Watching TV

2010-01-08T22:14:00.000-06:00

Usually when my humans are watching TV, this is what I am doing.

I'm not really interested in television...

until "The Dog Whisperer" comes on! I love that show.

I'm Dog Tired!

2010-01-06T19:07:00.000-06:00

We've had company at our house since Saturday. They wore me out! They headed back to Missouri this morning to beat the bad weather that's headed their way. This is what I did all day.

By the way, that's me yawning...check out that tongue!

My Other New Friend

2010-01-05T19:10:00.000-06:00

Here's me and my other new friend. We like to cozy up by the fire.

My friends are leaving tomorrow, then I'll be bored again. :-\ Maybe she'll write about me on her blog.

I Have a New Friend

2010-01-04T22:55:00.000-06:00

We have visitors at our house. I've made new friends.

He may not openly admit it, but he likes me. :)

A Year in Review

2009-12-30T20:16:00.003-06:00

2009 is almost over, I figured I'd take a look back on the year. Here's 2009 in pictures (briefly).

Whew! That wore me out. I think I'll go take a nap.

This Snow Stuff is Awesome!

2009-12-26T19:43:00.000-06:00

We got 14 inches of snow in our city on Christmas Eve. I've had a lot of fun playing in it (as you can tell by the pictures below!)

I like to stick my face in the snow...and eat it!

Help! I'm stuck in a snow drift!

Don't worry, I got out.

Huh...look at this tunnel.

I made it through!

This tunnel looks even bigger. I wonder if I can fit through it.

I'm pooped.

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-25T19:45:00.001-06:00

Merry Christmas, everyone! Here's our 2009 Christmas picture.

A Christmas Eve Blizzard

2009-12-24T18:41:00.000-06:00

Well the sleet finally turned to snow and I decided to venture out and see what this snow stuff was all about. I've only seen snow a couple times, and it hasn't been more than an inch or two...nothing like this!

Here are a few videos of me having some fun!

Merry white Christmas to me! :)

It's a Blizzard Warning...and I'm Scared!

2009-12-24T10:29:00.000-06:00

It's sleeting at our house and the wind is blowing 40-50 mph. It's noisy and I'm scared!

I hope this sleet turns to snow soon, it's much less noisy!

This Post has Nothing to do with Josie...and everything to do with PW and my Mom

2009-12-22T18:12:00.002-06:00

I (the actual writer of this blog, not Josie) went to a book signing today. You see, my mom bought me this cookbook as a gift. She also bought one for herself. When the Pioneer Woman came to OKC for a book signing the first time, I didn't go. My mom was very upset. So when Mom found out PW would be back in OKC and only a mile or two from my house, she threatened to withhold my Christmas presents if I didn't go and get both our books signed. So I did.

I waited in line at Barnes & Noble. Luckily I got there early enough to be close to the front of the line!

There were plenty of books to be signed!

Here ya go, Mom. Me and Ree!

And here she is signing your name (look close)! Can I have my Christmas presents now?

Happy Birthday, Rusty!

2009-12-21T12:17:00.000-06:00

It's my daddy's birthday today!

Happy Birthday!

Who Needs a Bed?

2009-12-18T21:04:00.000-06:00

I don't need to lay down to sleep. Sometimes I can sleep sitting up.

I Like to Cuddle

2009-12-16T22:20:00.000-06:00

Sometimes I like to cuddle with my humans.

But usually I just like to cuddle up with a blanket, only instead of laying under it, I lay on top. I have a lot of fur, I don't need more insulation!

My New Favorite Place to Sleep

2009-12-14T16:13:00.000-06:00

My bed used to be in the corner of the room. It's been replaced by the Christmas tree. But now that it's moved, I have a new favorite place to sleep...but only when the tree is lit up!

See the bottom of the tree where that string of lights is just kind of dangling? That's where I decided to taste the tree and take a branch for myself. Then I got in trouble. : (

Peek-a-Boo

2009-12-11T21:37:00.000-06:00

PEEK-A-BOO!

(please disregard the frayed pants...they're comfy)

I wasn't really playing peek-a-boo. She had food in her hands I was trying to get. I couldn't fit through that space though. :(

What is Going on Here?

2009-12-09T13:46:00.000-06:00

This is like an optical illusion. Where are those legs that are sticking straight up coming from?

That's right, they're my back legs. Look Ma! I can touch my toes to my nose!

Christmas Decorations are up!

2009-12-07T22:26:00.000-06:00

It's official. The Christmas decorations are up. Check this out, I even get my own stocking!

Here's the tree. I'm not allowed to touch it :(

Guess I'll just lay next to it and dream of eating those tasty green needles.

LOL

2009-12-06T12:40:00.003-06:00

What? You've never seen a Husky texting before?

Well if 8 year olds can have a cell phone, so can I!
L8R,

Variety is the Spice of Life

2009-12-03T22:20:00.009-06:00

Sometimes I get tired of the plain ole couch cushion.

I like to be up higher...it makes me feel like I have more power.

Look at me! I'm in control now!

Please don't make me get down...

My Couch

2009-12-02T11:48:00.005-06:00

It's no surprise that I like to sleep on the couch.

But I'm not the only one in the house who does!

Sometimes I'll even share the couch with my humans...but only sometimes.

Sunning Myself

2009-12-01T12:28:00.006-06:00

It's December now and the weather is starting to get colder. That's why I like to sun myself when I'm outside.

Why does that crazy lady keep taking my picture? Can't she see I'm busy?

YYYYYYAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWNNNNNNNN!

It's a rough life, but someone's gotta live it!

The Headshot

2009-11-30T21:37:00.002-06:00

I think I'll try to be a model and make some money...

What do you think of my latest headshot?

Tryptophan Coma

2009-11-26T18:43:00.004-06:00

The tryptophan has kicked in.

Time for a nap!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Squishy Face

2009-11-25T11:56:00.005-06:00

I may sleep a lot during the day, but that doesn't mean it's not lights out when about 10 p.m. rolls around.

And when I'm out...I'm out!

Squishy face and all.

All Tucked In

2009-11-24T12:42:00.006-06:00

I'm all tucked in and ready for bed!

Goodnight!

Humans are Tasty

2009-11-22T19:57:00.006-06:00

I love my humans, they make good chew toys. I cuddled up to this one's foot. He thought I was being sweet...little did he know I really just wanted something to chew on.

And that's exactly what I did.

Look! I got a hand!

I wonder if he noticed it was missing...

Something Smells Funny

2009-11-20T16:17:00.004-06:00

I don't like baths. I love to play in my pool outside in the Summer, but baths aren't my thing. The last time I got a bath I had to stay in the kitchen on the tile until I dried off a little. When I was finally set free I headed straight to the couch....to pout.

Or maybe I thought I still smelled bad....I'm not really sure.

This isn't as Painful as it Looks.

2009-11-19T13:17:00.003-06:00

It looks like I have a broken neck in this picture.

Don't worry, I'm fine...just straining to see something since I'm too lazy to get up!

The Black Bar

2009-11-17T12:25:00.005-06:00

This one is called "The Black Bar" because it needs that little black censor bar that you see in pictures to cover things that shouldn't be seen.
HOWEVER, this picture does not have that little black bar, so keep that in mind before you scroll down :)

Maybe I should have called this one "Girl Gone Wild."

The Floating Head/Missing Ear

2009-11-14T21:31:00.004-06:00

I had a hard time coming up with a name for this one. I kind of look like just a head, hence "The Floating Head."
But it also looks like I only have one ear, hence "The Missing Ear."

What do you think?

I Don't Like to Share

2009-11-13T11:54:00.006-06:00

I don't like to share my toys...

It's so bad, that I even sleep on them so no one else will play with them...

Even the hard ones that I've chewed on so much they're sharp and pointy.

It's a rough life, but someone's gotta do it!

The Prim and Proper

2009-11-11T20:41:00.004-06:00

I'm so prim and proper...

I even cross my legs when I sleep!

This Bed is Your Bed, This Bed is My Bed

2009-11-10T18:50:00.002-06:00

I have my own bed....

But I don't sleep on it. :)

Open Mouth Insert Foot

2009-11-08T11:18:00.006-06:00

I call this one "Open Mouth Insert Foot."

It's pretty self explanatory.

Apparently it's comfy to lay with your back leg in your mouth.

The Stretcher

2009-11-07T12:41:00.002-06:00

Sometimes you just gotta stretch it out.

I'll Use Anything as a Pillow, Part 2

2009-11-05T10:55:00.003-06:00

More proof that I'll use anything as a pillow...

This is so uncomfortable...

I'll Use Anything as a Pillow

2009-11-03T18:25:00.003-06:00

I have my favorite spots to sleep...that one spot on the couch, outside the bedroom door, occasionally on my bed in the other room. But sometimes, you just gotta sleep where it's most convenient. Here I just got back from a walk around the neighborhood and I was tuckered out. So I just dropped down in the middle of the living room and took a nap.

And as you can see, I'll use anything as a pillow!

The Dangler

2009-11-02T17:19:00.008-06:00

I like to call this one, "The Dangler." Sometimes you just gotta let your head and a paw dangle off the couch a little, especially to avoid the sun coming in through the window.

I'm getting sleepy...

Very sleepy...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

Dirty Laundry

2009-11-01T13:08:00.005-06:00

I may sleep a lot, but I also have a lot of energy. That was ESPECIALLY true when I was just a tiny pup.

But exerting that much energy also meant I got really tired. And let me tell you, I could sleep anywhere. I call this one "Dirty Laundry."

Happy Halloween and The Bagel

2009-10-31T11:51:00.006-05:00

It's been a long day trying to decide what I should be for Halloween. RRRRaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrwwwwwwwww!!!! Should I be a dinosaur?

I think I look pretty good as a lobster, if I do say so myself.

Whew. All these costume changes have made me sleepy. I'm going to take a nap...maybe I'll just go as a bagel this year.

The Elephant Tusks

2009-10-30T11:28:00.003-05:00

I prefer to call this one "The Elephant Tusks."

What? You don't ever rest your head on your hands when you sleep? Come on now.

The Tripod

2009-10-29T20:04:00.005-05:00

I like to call this one "The Tripod."

The Pretzel

2009-10-29T14:39:00.008-05:00

I like to call this position "The Pretzel."

Which leg is which? Who knows, but it's comfy!

Hi!

2009-10-29T13:47:00.002-05:00

My name is Josie and I'm a Siberian Husky. I like to run and jump and play hard, but that also means I like to take lots of naps. As you'll see on this blog, I can be quite the contortionist when I sleep! I'll start posting pictures soon!
