This 'n That



Hello ta all.....

We have a new houseguest stayin' with us fer awhile...til the end of October. We thought that maybe ya would like to see who it is that is stayin' here. Can ya guess who it is?

Here's a picture.....



And another one.....


And a third one. Gram made a little house outta a flower pot so the guest had a place ta put down her head....sort of like a bed.......but more like a house.......




Here's a little video of the little guy....maybe this will give ya a better hint..... I think it's givin' itself a bath here.....
Our Houseguest



Did ya guess who's visitin' us???? Huh, did ya???? Tell us who ya think it is now?????? 'N did ya see a second one stickin' it's head outta the little house ?? I can tell ya that we know they're around and we have trouble fergettin' about it too.......
***************************************

This is the first Gram has been able ta get any video uploaded ta Blogger....'n she could hardly believe it was successful....we never seem ta see the progress of the upload like we did taday and fer some reason we always have an error or it just never finishes uploadin' .....but taday, viola, a successful upload....go figure......
***************************************
Baby Parker

Now do ya remember that little hooman baby, Parker, who is havin' trouble growin' up? Well, Gram got a little video clip of 'em yesterday tryin' ta figure out what his feet are for.......can ya imagine....6 months old and still doesn't realize what feet are for or even that they were his feet until lately......wow, guys, ya all need ta help us get Parker educated before it's too late......how do ya think we can help him?????

Baby Parker at 6 months....





He's sure a cutie pie but needs some educatin' 'n fast........

Dewster!!!!

Oh my...those RATS are pawsome!!!! I love the way their fur is sooo stylin'...is ur Gram strippin' 'em?? Obviously, she doesn't need to give em bathies...they were doin' that just fine on their own!!! I know for a fact that the one beat the fur off Scruffy at poker...course that's not overly difficult to do...

So are ya goin' to Vegas with Petey? I've asked him if I can come, but he hasn't answered yet...bet that's gonna be a NO for sure!!!

Don't know Mumsie's schedule yet for September...hope we can get up to Butler!!!!!

Barkin' at ya...Lacie

That Parker is just the cutest Baby Hooman we've ever seen!!! He looks so happy! Can't believe he hasn't figured out feet are for chewin'!!!

Eric said...

Hey Dewey, You have some new lodgers I see. Are they paying their rent? They seem very clean and sort of cute. I would love to have a bit of a conversation with them, ask if they like the blue flowerpot and their new home and how they keep their balance using both paws for washing at the same time... can you ask them for me?

Yikes, now Mom is dribbling all over the keyboard and my paws just looking at baby Parker. He is bootiful for sure. Now I've been pondering to as I looked at him...he seems very bendy doing that thing with his feet and hands...pawsome trick...did he get some treats ? And do you think he goes to Doga classes?

Wiry wags, Eric x

Lorenza said...

Hi, Dewey!
You have a very interesting guest at your house! And a clean one! It is so funny to see him cleaning himself!
Baby Parker is sooooo cute! Maybe if they give him treats he will learn faster!
Congratulations on your award!
Kisses and hugs
Lorenza

Pheww! I am exhausted after reading all of your wonderful news and exciting events!

Joe Stains said...

Maybe Parker needs a diagram or something?? Those little rat dudes are cute, they sure look like clean fellas. Congrats on your awards!!

Koobuss said...

Hi Guys!!

It's me, Koobuss. Thank You so much for the award. It is beautiful and I will cherish it. I hope to be back blogging soon.

Your gram is right about the rats. They are cute! And so clean and well-groomed. That brown and white one is even kinda likable. They have the cutest ears. I hope you let them live. By the time October gets here you will be so used to them that they will feel like members of the family.

Speaking of family, your hooman baby Parker sure is adorable. He's got to be one of the cutest babies that I've ever seen without fur. He looks like he has lots of fun, too.

I wish that we were closer to all that doggie fun stuff that you guys have there in southwestern PA. But, I'm in northeastern PA and I don't think that I'll be able to come. I haven't been driving too far lately in my little red kar, you know with gas prices the way they are, and no job. Unfortunatly, Dewey, I do not win at the casino like your mother, Asta Marie, does. Sigh...


Lots of Koobuss Kisses,
Koobie

Abby said...

Hi, Dewey...

Wow...That was a long report...

Your houseguest is very cute...You fixed up a really nice little house for them...

Baby Parker is cuter than ever...My Mom loves it when babies find their feet...

Congrats on your Award...

Hi Dewey,

Your guests are...well...a bit unusual! Terriers and mice...together?! But I agree that they are cute:)

Baby Parker must've learned that trick from you. He looks cute paddling away in the air:) And the way he holds his toes...that isn't easy. We don't have a human who's Parker's size...but if we had one, Baby Parker could tutor him...online:)

Enjoy those competitions:)

Licks n Wags!

Rudy said...

Ohhhh man, welcome to MY world! I mean about rats in the house; Mom keeps 'em up in the PC room, and I love to yell hello to them every chance I get! I had a real shoutin' match with ol' Tweak last night --- I love to argue with him through the bars.
Mom used to have 4 rats but the older 2 passed on this summer, so it's now just Tweak and Little Man. Little Man looks like that rat in the video. He eats like a pig but Mom says he's the nicer rat. You're so lucky to have rats as visitors!
I'm waiting for the next time Mom drags out our tunnel liners so we can practice Earthdogging again...

Love,
Rudy

Mom would be spending her days standing on top of the sofa if this guy came to visit us!
Baby Parker is just adorable!

Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
