Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers

Hello out there all across this country and the world...

Gram takes over the blog today and tries to capture some of the pride and excitement she feels being a part of the City of Pittsburgh and part of the Steeler Nation.

Last night the Pittsburgh Steelers won Super Bowl XLIII by prevailing over the Arizona Cardinals. What a game it was !!!! While my words pale in comparison to those of professionals, I tried to describe some of the feelings I had while watching our Home Team become the victors in the Super Bowl and go on to win their 6th Super Bowl Game and Lombardi Trophy.

Six Lombardi trophies will now have a home in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Super Bowl XLIII
By Nancy Johanson

In Super bowls and football,
You can't keep those Steelers down.
In Pittsburgh, home of champions,
In Pittsburgh, my home town.

The Super Bowl on February one
In the year of two thousand nine,
Will go down in the record books,
As the Super Bowl for all time.

The Steelers fought the Cardinals,
And the Cardinals fought right back.
And no one knew the winner,
Until the final ground attack.

We take our hats off to Big Ben
And to James Harrison for his play.
His interception and hundred yard TD.
Made the fans all scream "Horray' !!!

The Cardinals played an awesome game
In the 4th quarter they pulled ahead.
With less than 3 minutes on the clock,
They thought they'd put it all to bed.

But as Coach Tomlin pointed out.
Sixty minutes make a football game.
And though it seemed the cause was lost.
In the end, the Steeler's overcame.

With only seconds ticking on the clock.
And Big Ben throwing down the field.
Santonio Holmes snagged the final pass.
And the game outcome was sealed.

He reached high in the end zone.
Toes touching to the ground.
With determined will and mighty skill.
Why, that lead just turned around.

Heads were shaking left and right.
The Steelers pulled off quite a win.
Final score Steelers 27 Cardinals 23.
Let the celebrations now begin.

With six Lombardi trophies,
We stand in speechless admiration.
Of the players and the faithful fans,
All across the Steeler nation !!!

And while we're here in Pittsburgh,
The Steeler Nation breaks the mold.
It's members span this big wide world,
To support the Black and Gold !!!

I just want to extend my congratulations to the City of Pittsburgh, to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Rooney family and to all the fans in the Steeler Nation !!!

Go Black and Gold !!!!

The Week in Review

Gee guys....what a week this was !!!!!!

We've been havin' some of the coldest temperatures that we've had in years so Gram felt it was necessary ta get out our coats......except we don't like ta wear coats.......so when she put the coats on us.....we just stood there....


Gram pushed me out onto the deck but I just stood there lookin' in the door wantin' back in again. Eric would like this coat....it's orange.....

Hey Eric...if ya want this coat I'll send it on over ta ya......

Now a lot has happened over the last week.......
We were awarded the Friends award by both Abby and Asta La Vista....
Thanks a bunch fer the honor....both of ya....

And while it has a bunch of rules attached ta it....we're gonna break 'em and just display it..I know....we're really bad.......

There was a miracle on the Hudson River in New York....when a very skilled US Airways pilot crash landed an airplane full of people inta the river without any casualties. The rescue had everyone glued ta their TVs fer hours.......


Then on Sunday....our very own Pittsburgh Steelers won the AFC Championship by beatin' the Baltimore Ravens 23 ta 14 in an action packed game right here in Heinz Field.....

They'll be playin' the Arizona Cardinals in the Super Bowl in Tampa Florida on Feb 1......that's less than 2 weeks away.......

Go Steelers !!!!!

Then on Tuesday January 20, 2009.....the US of A welcomed a new President and First Lady inta the White House. Meet President Barack Obama and his beautiful wife Michelle. We wish them the best and hope that the next 4 years will be the best for all of us......here and around the world.......

And last but not least.....we got Gram ta finally do some work around here......

When we get new toys.....we get too excited and don't really treat the toys nicely......of course it doesn't help that the doggie toy manufacturers make the toys with dissolving thread and material that melts in yer mouth 'n not in yer hand.....

So when we chew up the toys....Gram takes 'em and puts 'em in Doggie Toy Hospital til she can get around ta sewin' 'em back up again. We had bags 'n bags of 'em in the hospital and Gram finally sewed up one of the bags.......

It filled up our toy box ta the brim and we were excited ta see some of our favorite toys again....

See those toys with the plaid patches on' em ???? Gram put those on some of the holes we chewed inta them....

My Mom was all excited ta get ta pick from so many toys cause Gram always tells us that there are doggies all over the world that don't have any toys at all and that we should take better care of ours......but we just don't listen ta her at all.....

We all got ta get reacquainted with toys that have been packed away for months.....

If ya can believe it, the Cat in the Hat still has a squeaker in it that squeaks....but now I ripped off his tail and one of his ears....Gram says as long as no stuffin' is comin' out we can play with 'em...

This is one of our favorite toys from a couple Christmas' ago...it has several squeakers that still work...it's also good ta get yer head stuck inta.....

Now we want ta thank all of ya that stopped by ta see how we were after our "Fixit" surgery. We're feelin' fine now and since Gram burnt all the Dog Breedin' books, we don't even see anythin' around that reminds us of what we lost.

Gee we hope the next week is just as packed full of excitement....it will be hard ta top this one though.......

This is Dewey Dewster reportin' on a week in History......
