Happy Burpday to our favorite GranNE!

It must be a sad day for her GranNE that it is her burpday and she cannot spend it with her ALL TIME FAVORITE!

ME!  I love my GranNE SO MUCH.    We got her some good stuff.  First, Otis got out his sweater vest and corn cob to root for the CORNHUSKERS!

And then we ordered up a super duper exciting Nebraska game!  They came back from 21 points behind to beat those Buckeyes!  Hooray!  We thought we should keep your heart pumping vigorously with excitement.

The secret weapon was COACH OTIS who was teaching the Cornhuskers how to protect the ball!

So here we are all wishing you a BIG happy burpday, GranNE!

 Ethel Jean wanted to pose with the pretty trees in the background since you like plants.

Otis and I are doing some coordinated Doga Poses (Forward Facing Dog, With Tongues)

I am going to chomp Ed for you because he is so annoying.

And here are some great memories from your visit when we helped you so much while you fixed our yard.

Here is a fine short film for your burpday:



Have a great day GranNE! We'll celebrate when you come to landscape our yard visit us again!

A Day for Mudders!

Yesterday was Ethel's day but today is for mudders! We would like to send extra celebration fun vibes to our GranNE who, you may not realize, is not just a GranNE but a Mudder too! She can do everything.  Here is our GranNE at the Grand Canyon two weeks ago!  She hiked the whole thing (and wrestled mountain lions and tigers and Arizona lawmakers and we're pretty sure she popped over to NV to make John Ensign resign from the Senate.)

Side note GranNE: we know you love to garden but you didn't need to dig that enormous hole!


We'd like to tell you about your GranNE and why we are saying thank you to her today!

She has a Green Thumb which has skipped a generation (ma ape=bungling gardener) but Otis, as you can see, is quite prolific. This is just moments before he tried to eat one of these bags!  He also has pruned over half the hostas in the yard!

She also introduced our ape to corgis by letting her have one when she was just a pup!

Uh, yuh, thanks for that one GranNE.

GranNE also teaches us about Nebraska footballs (see Ethel's football? Apparently Edgrr didn't wash his jock strap--look at Ethel's stink face!)

And Oscar would like to give extra special goober covered love to his GranNE because he was not so nice to her but she was nice to him anyway and she taught him Dogas and now he loves her so much that he gets excited when he hears her on the Skype machine but he is very worried that she is so skinny that she can fit inside the MacBook.

Happy Mudder's Day GranNE! Visit us soon. We will be ever so good!  And here is a song that Oscar picked out for you:

Time for a BURPDAY!

Today is Wally's burpday!  So we are all giving our biggest smiles!

Because Wally's burpday means....

Cake for us!

Oh yes, for breakfast we had BEEFCAKE!

Here's what Wally would say about that.

MOAR CAKE! Everyone chow down on some beefcakes, wallymelons, and other tasty eatables!  It's PARTY TIME!

ONE, TWO, THREE!

Our ma ape is BACK and not a moment too soon because TOMORROW IS MY BURPDAY! Get ready for the TERRIBLE THREES! She says she is busy catching up on work and the World Cup but she will not be too busy to MAKE US ICE CREAM AND CAKE. (Or, alternatively, mega meats and ice creams.)

In the spirit of the World Cup we would like to recommend that you view our blog like this. It will also get you in a festive mood for my burpday!

OSCAR BEAN OBNOXIOUS TEEN!

Looking Out for Our Hearts

I know we are all gathering for a BIIIIG Stupor Bowl party this weekend but my granny--ever the alert NPR listener--sent me this story to warn me: Sports Fan Stress Can be Heart Hazard. I KNOW! I get so nervous whenever the Cornhuskers play and recently they've given me plenty to stress about. Fortunately I don't really give a cat's behind who wins this year's Bowl (first time in three years one of my teams is not playing!) and so I can dedicate my time to preparing heart healthy foods for us. My list includes: fishables, red wineables, blueberries, oatmeals, and some more fishables. Mostly fishables. In the above photo I am eating HEART HEALTHY, pancreas friendly baby carrots.

And here my sissy and I are getting plenty of exercise (photo from the 3 hours we had snow 2 weeks ago):


Also, love keeps the heart in good shape and my gal Samantha--looking out for me--did a photo shoot to keep my heart a-flutter:

Drooling in the New Year

I am just about over my New Year's Hangover. So far I have not been sent any embarrassing photos of me with a lampshade on my head, humping a cat, etc. I do have one question, though.


Whose drool is all over my face?

My Second Wind!

Whew, a little beauty rest and I'm back in business! Look, I can even catch a few Zs while I'm playing. I'm an efficient little dude.


I've been working out.


Doing a little jogging.


Sissy is still all goofy from the weekend.


And is still doing the hustle. She hears the music in her head (I told you she's a little batty).


I'm ready for Asta's burpday cake! Happy Burpday, Asta!

I'm Too Old for This!

I'm a bit old for all this pawtying with the Girls of Jackman Ave and with Burpday Girl Asta.

A boy needs his beauty rest (look at my bat ears--ha!).


But don't worry. A few naps and I'll be up and pawtying again! Especially because Asta has kept me up to date on the FOODABLE purchasing!
