It's My Turn

Mom was hogg'n the puter this morning and I really needed to blog today.

So…..I decided to resort to some serious begg'n.

Mom…..  can I use the puter now?
Pleeeeeeeeease.

Hummmmmmmm….. she just ignored me.  MOM!  PLEASEEEEEEE!

Well, since that wasn't work'n to good, I figured I'd just have to resort to other tactics.
I tried doing my "down" but … she just laughed and kept on typin.

So, I decided to take a more direct approach.   I jumped up on her lap and just took over the puter.

Out of my way Mom!

Yippy!  That worked!
I'm blogg'n now.  Woohoo!

Wow…  a lot has be going on.  
It's gonna that me hours to catch up on everyone.

I really gotta get me my own puter.

After I get all caught up, I'm gonna have to work on my bloggie post for tomorrow.  Yup.. I've got me a really BIG ANNOUNCEMENT tomorrow.  Stay tuned…..

Wags,

     Ranger

Garden fences fall'n down, fall'n down, fall'n down..

On no!

Fence down.

I never did understand why She fenced off these bushes.
I don't always dig up the roots.

Honest Mom…. it wasn't me.
Could this face lie?

Maybe the squirrels did it.

Can I have a treat now?   I'm kinda hungry.

         Wags,

             Ranger

I'd like to thank the Academy

Guess what????  I got me another Award!  Yippy!     It's not an Oscar, it's is the Liebster Award.

What's a Liebster?   I did some research on the puter and here's what I learned.

The Liebster Blog Award is given to up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers (that's me).  "Liebster" is German for "favorite".   I don't speak German but this award sounds cool and it is the "favorite blog award".

The Award rules are.

* Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you.    Here goes:  I'd like to thank the Academy of Bloggin  Sheba for this honor.

* Share five things about yourself and five things about your staffies/humans

About me:

My Mollie.

1. I have a long distance girlfriend.   Her name is Mollie and she lives in the UK.   She is very popular and has a gazillion followers.   I'm so lucky she chose Me.

2. I have a bit of a "short" complex.   Do you think I should go to therapy?

3. When I get a new rawhide bone, I carry it around the house, and whimper while I look for a really good place to hide/bury it.    Then I go back and get it and whimper some more while I chose a different spot.  Repeat, repeat, and eventually I'll close in on a good hiding spot.  Okay…. I admit it, I'm not the most decisive pup out there.

4. I have some red streaks in my beard.   I think I got them from my birth Mom.   Her name is Scarlet.   I also have a little splotch of  white fur on my butt.   I don't know who to blame for that little highlight.

5. When Mom picks me up from camp and ask how I did, the camp director Jill, says that I'm quite the "Party Maker".    When I arrive at camp, the party begins.  I guess secret's out now.

About my staff.

1. I am still train'n them.   It's a big job, but someone has to do it.

2. Mom retired with her sister (Aunty D) last year and moved to the coast so they could be near the beach.   They take turns playing with me.   I'm a lucky boy to live with 2 hot babes.

Me doing my "down".

3. Mom is a photographer (www.mharned.com) and Aunty D is a quilter.

4. Aunty D is teaching Mom to quilt and they have their own bloggy.   http://quiltingsistersunravelled.wordpress.com/
Unfortunately I have to share the puter with them.   Maybe I'll get my own puter for my barkday.   Sometimes she even makes quilts that are inspired by me (see scottie quilts category).

5. They are both push-overs for my "down".   I can make them laugh and get just about anything from them when I do my "down".

Answer five questions from your nominee.

1. Are you from a breeder or rescue centre?   Mom got me from Jane.  She is a really nice breeder and a special ed teacher.

2. Facebook or Twitter?    Mom won't let me FB as I already spend too much time on the puter.    Twitter is for birds right?   I'm a dog.

3. What is your favorite season of the year?   I can't pick one yet.  I am not 1 yr old yet so I haven't really experienced all the seasons.   So far… they are all FUN.

4. Do you take your pets on holiday with you?    Every day I go places with Mom is a holiday to me.   I love to ride in Mom's zoom-zoom car.

5. Favorite food?   I love, love, love hot dogs but I only get them when I'm training.  I also really like chicken, apples, cookies, tacos, and CHEERIOS!

Ask five new questions to your nominated bloggers.   Hummmmmm….
1.  Why did you start blogg'n?
2.  What has been your biggest surprise blogg'n?
3.  Photos or Videos?
4.  Favorite past-time?
5.  What do chain letters and bloggy awards have in common?

Reveal your top five picks (200 readers or less) and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.    

Tag….. you've been Liebster'd:

• Ruby
• Derby & Julep
• Pippa
• Groucho
• Shiloh & The Diva Shasta

Phewwwwwwww….. that was a lot of work.  I may need a nap after this.

Wags,

Mine

Now here is a little somethin that I learned in school.

Sorry Mollie.

Scottish Terrier Property Laws

 1. If I like it, it’s mine.
 2. If it’s in my mouth, it’s mine.
 3. If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine
 4. If I can take it away from you, it’s mine.
 5. If it just looks like mine, it’s mine.
 6. If it’s mine, it must never appear to be yours.
 7. If I saw it first, it’s mine.
 8. If it’s edible, it’s mine.
 9. If you have something and put it down, it’s mine.
10. If I chew something up, all the pieces are mine.
11. If I get tired of it, it’s yours.
12. If I want it back, it’s mine.

Don't ya all agree?  It's Mine now.

How about this…. I'll let you have one of my shorts.

Luv ya sweetie.

                 XXooXX,
                        Ranger

Pees.  Looked what ad popped up after I got off facebook.

Did Benny and Lily's cousins get a modeling job for Capital One?

School is Out!

Last night was my last Novice Rally Obedience class.  Yippy!  

Here I am in class sitting next to my 1st rally sign.

At this sign I had to SIT and the do my DOWN.   And then I get a hot doggie treat or a cheese treat.  Ok… so that was an easy one.   Some of the other signs are hard.

After class ended, my teacher gave me a pressie.

I got me a Certificate!

And I got me a graduation puppy stuffy.

I like his hat.

I think I'm going to name him 'George'.
Graduation Doggie George.

I'm kinda tired of school (except for the hot dog treats) and I think I need a vacation.
Hey Mom… when can we go to the beach?

Wags,

        Ranger

Frilly-knickers

Like my new hat?

Today it was drizzly outside so I decided to put on my new hat.  I found it at the Valentine's Day Ball.  At first I wasn't sure what it was but then Frankie and Ernie told me it was a Frilly-knickers hat.  They also said that I can keep it as there is some rule that says whatever a Scottie finds, is his to keep.  It even has 2 holes for my ears.  Pretty cool huh?  

Do you think Mollie will like it?

Wags,

      Ranger

A New Discovery

I love my yard and I pay close attention to everything that goes on in it.  Well, it is my kingdom and as King, I see it as  my duty to rid my kingdom of all those pesky squirrels and birds.   It's not easy, cuz Mom keeps filling up that bird feeder with food for them and then the squirrels try to snatch some too.   If only she'd stop feeding the pest.  
     

Anyways… one of my favorite spots to monitor yard activity is from the little ledge around our screened in porch.    It's got a great view of my entire yard kingdom.   Did ya know that I've got really good balance and can go forward and back up on the ledge?   Yep… I can.   I can also leap off my ledge and chase after all them pesky  squirrels.   That always startles them.

Maybe I should invite my buddy Sweet William the Scot to come over with his super cool Circus canon and we can shoot all them squirrels down.   Now that would be fun.

Well yesterday, while I was looking out over my kingdom, from my little ledge, I spied something new.


Now what is that?  Hummmmmmm.

Snow!

My 1st snow.   I've heard about this stuff and seen pictures on some of your bloggies, but this is the first time that I've actually seen it in my yard.

Hummmm….it is kinda pretty… I'm just not so sure I like all this cold white stuff on my nose.

Wags,
    Ranger

Pees.   In case you were wondering… it was pretty for about 1 hr and then all disappeared.  Sigh.

The Circus - Day 2

I'm having a pawsome good time at the Circus.

After I arrived, I rode in the clown parade that was lead by Tuirn.   Turin's clown car was very crowded so it was really good that I drove my own car.

Toot!!  Toot!!

Then I cruised on over to the Fun House that was presented by Asta.

                 Here I am in the house of mirrors.

Scary huh???

I also got my fortune told by  Mystic Mollie.
She read my cards and here's what she said.

"Let us see what the cards of magic have in store for you? You will have to try to adjust to anothers’ needs and to make an effort to understand them and accept them with all their qualities and flaws. Remember, after the first glow of romance starts to fade, a deeper understanding may blossom. You are asked to think positively and to surround yourself with happy people. There is plenty of time for fun and laughter this year. The discs are all about work and money. Follow your objectives step by step, no matter how seemingly slowly you advance may seem. When there is uncertainty or difficulty, ask for advice from those close to you and your significant other. You are undergoing a process of changing the way you think, of relating to others, opening up new concepts and restructuring your system of values. The cards indicate a year where you will grow away from material things like toys and balls and move to a higher plane. The meaning of life, the power of friendship and your great love will be more important to you this year. You are developing into a thoughtful soul who reaches out and touches many lives.  Thinking less about material things will give you a liberating sense of freedom. The cards indicate that restraints are being removed. The year will see you soar into the skies, spreading your wings and riding the breeze that gentle winds of change blow your way."

I'm not sure what all that mombo, jumbo means… but she was really pretty in her green hat thingy and had cool cards with funny pictures on them.

Time to fill my belly.  Food tent, here I come!   I hope they have some of my favorite snacks.

Hot diggity Dog !!!!!

My belly is all full up now so I'm off to check out some of the other side shows.  

Oh look… there is Sarge and my girl Mollie.  
Sarge wanted to try out my new wheels, so we hooked up a trailer and Mollie and I let Sarge chauffeur us around.   AaaRrrrrrOooooooo!

Sarge barely fit into my little car.
He has really long legs and can pedal really, really faster.
I think Sarge was speeding a bit… but I won't tell anyone.   Shhhhhhh. 

THE CIRCUS IS  FUN.. FUN..FUN !!!!

Wags,

         Ranger

PeeS. Thanks to all the host of the Circus.   Well done.

The Circus is in Town !!!!

Yippppppppppy !!!!!!!!     The Circus is here in Blogville.

Toot-Toot !!

Don't miss out on all the fun at the Big Top.   I'm pedaling my way over there right now.   Like my new wheels?  I had it especially detailed for the event.   See ya there, eventually.  It may take me awhile to get there as my legs and paws are still a bit tired from the Ball. If only Mom would've let me borrow her zoom-zoom car.

I can't wait to get there.  It's gonna be crazy good!   Popcorn anyone?

Click on the Big Tent.

Happy Valentine's Day

We are having such a PAWSOME GOOD TIME!   And the Dancing?   So many lovelies to dance with but my favorite dance partner is my Valentine Mollie.     She even gave me a Valentine's card.   Isn't she beautiful?

Mollie and I just changed into our dancing costumes for our "Tango Exhibition dance".
Tango anyone?  (I hope this video thing works)

I guess all those dance lessons really paid off.   Doesn't Mollie have a cute butt?

Some of us had to take a break from all that dancing to rest our paws.   

Here is Shiloh watching the other dancers while his sweetheart Miss Tasha (right)
and her little sister Diva Shasta (left with the crown) take a break from all that dancing.  
Shiloh and Miss Tasha are celebrating their furst anniversary today.   Sweeeeeeeet!

Here I am hang'n out with some of my buddies (Stanley, Bailey and Jasper).   What are we doing?   Glad you asked.   We are are waiting for our dates to get out of the pawder ladies room.

What takes them so long?  We just lift our leg and zip, zip… we're done.
Girls…  go figure.

The Band is still Rock'n-it-Out and guess what?
The drummer took a break and let ME (yes ME) fill in for him.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooo!  I love Rock'n & Roll!

Roo says that the drummers get all the girls.   Woohoo!
Hello Ladies… just look at me drum.   Boom, boom, boom.

I haven't tasted the food yet as I'm stuck out here greeting everyone.   A Host work is never done.  

I can't wait to get inside and join in on the fun and taste some of Chef Sasha's food.
I did take a peak inside and all I can say, is that I'm glad I brought my shades.
