Thrilled Thursday!

THRILLED to share the furry khool BFF Gold Khard I was awarded by three furry special bloggin' buddies!

Mango the most impressive dog I know - I mean my MalMale Summi is big BUT Mango is huge - was the furst to share it with me!

Then, two khool Sibes from Vegas Baby Kayla K and Maebe Baebe shared it with me!!

I was then thricely pawed by a new Golden Boy from Brasil THOR .

Here are the rules

1. Only five people (doggies?) allowed.

2. Four have to be dedicated followers of your blog.
3. One has to be someone new or recently new to your blog and live in another part of the world.

4. You must link back to whoever gave you the award.

WELL, since we are a bit behind the kong and khuz on getting this posted, most all the blogs we visit and enjoy have already been touched by this khool gold khard BUT I will pass it along to a furry new furiend - she lives in Khanada - so that khovers Number 3 - just like I got the award three times. Please meet Beta and be sure to visit her blog BUT please be warned - there is a puppy on her page that will steal your heart!

I'm glad evfurryone enjoyed my Walkin' Wednesday. It was a khorgi that I was taken with - it always yaps and yaps and yaps when we pass - it has even fallen out of the stroller trying to get to visit me! It is toooooo bad it is soooo pudgy - khorgis are khute khanineS - this one is a Pembroke. We passed it tonight and we khouldn't help but smile after reading all your khool and appropriate khomments!

Have a great Thursday! Mom will be here tomorrow for J - The Groups!

Walkin' Wednesday III

Hi Stormy!

I hear woo miss me!!
Should I khome to KholWOOrado to visit?

HOWLoh ALL!

I'm glad woo enjoyed my khrazy khristmas in august pikhs!

To answer some khwestions, I didn't get to play in it - we only had pea/grape size and lots of soggy lawn!

The skhwirrel pikhs are fur my furied Stormy in KholWOOrado! She and her khanine brothers just moved to a new house - and so far, there are NO SKHWIRRELS there. One of my furst memories of Stormy from Dogster and/or Sibernet was her love of sitting and watching SKHWIRRELS - a past time I enjoy too. I'm still working on the khlimbing thing! Whilst Mom was uploading my Walkin' Wednesday video, she noticed one of the long tailed rats hanging around under the feeder by MY tree!

Here is this week's video for Walkin' Wednesday - please khlikh H E R E . I hope all enjoy it!

I khoached Mom into talking a bit more - some of HER fans were disappointed that she didn't talk more SO she babbled as much as she khould for this one!

Have a great day!

Hugz&Khysses,

Khyra

PeeEssWoo: Since I filed this report last evening fur posting during the dark hours, I've learned that my HANDSOME STEVE decided to investigate the powers of skhwirrel! Should I send mine your way too? We do have enough to share!

Tuesday The 12th

About 1.5 miles from the house
About a mile from the house
One of the bakhk dekhks from a house in the sekhond pikh

Mom took these from the kitchen
My bakhk patio
The golf khourse

A 'river' that formed between my house and the neighborAnd then it was GONE!



This past Sunday, we had some WILD weather! Merdie and I took our walk - Mom knew it was khoming SO went earlier than normal. During the walk, it started to rumble. Within about fifteen minutes of getting bakhk to the house, it started. Mom gave Merdie a magikh pink pill - that took the edge off Merdie!
It rained - sideways - and then the hail started! Pea size (woo missed it Ekhho!) then small grapes (bad for khanines!) then bakhk to peas. It must have rained about an inch or two during the approximate half hour it lasted. When Mom took the pikh of the 'river', she was standing in water up to her ankles!
My Doggy Nanny and Fred went out to dinner about 630pm (this all had happened around 4pm or so) and about a mile or two from the house (in another direkhtion from the furst pikhs above) there was soooo much hail it looked like someone had plowed. When Mom went to work on Monday and she passed that area at 615am, THERE WAS STILL HAIL THERE! In fakht, this morning, one of the intersekhtions still had some of that fugly stuff that looks like a mud kholoured slushie!
It was pretty wild! I mean, it is AUGUST! I appreciate the dogs days of summer trying to make the weather khool fur us working breeds BUT it was toooooo wet to get out and enjoy!

Mom says thanks fur the khomments about yesterday's J guys of note post. She'll probably use some of the suggestions fur this Friday's J groups of note!
I want to say that I will proudly show and share my recent awards on THURSDAY's post. We had wanted to do that 'tue'day BUT I khouldn't pass up the hail pikhs!

Musikh MondayMomday: J Guys of Note

Please furgive my delay in getting this posted. I didn't have time during the 'normal' morning time(s) - and then I went to lunch with a friend. BUT I've khollekhted my selekhtions so here goes -

Of khourse, any list HAS to inkhlude Jimi Hendrix - I khould name song after song BUT I found this video on youtube that pays a nice tribute to him. His guitar talents are beyond deskhription!

Another 'J' that khame to mind would be Jim Croce - another fantastikh songwriter taken from us too early - there are so many hit songs I'm sure you associate with him but here is a lesser known song BUT no less impressive .

Then there is Jackson Browne - of khourse, I'm sure many of us have many Jackson Browne songs runnin' round their brain, but I chose this one .

Khyra's pal Dave from Kansas says Joe Jackson is khool SO fur Dave, we offer THIS ONE .

Two other J's that I've filled my khollekhtion with would be John Prine and Jay Farrar (you'll hear more from him when I hit the "U's" (Uncle Tupelo).

Newer and/or lokhal J's have to inkhlude Josh Ritter , Jeffrey Gaines , Justin Townes Earle (the son of Steve Earle named in part for Townes Van Zandt, and one that is akhutually 'old like me' John Flynn. I've inkhluded two videos of his from YouTube. The furst one is named for his last album Two Wolves and one that raises gooseflesh everytime I hear it Dover .

So there ya go fur another 'episode' of Musikh MondayMomday -

What J Guys of Note khome to YOUR minds? I look furward to hearing/seeing them!

Khyra says to pass along the Merdie's people khame fur her last evening. Of khourse, that was AFTER all the Sunday afternoon hailstorm fun. We'll throw some pikhs up soon AND inkhlude some from a few miles from our house. To put it in perspekhtive, at 6:15am Monday, there were STILL hail piles on my way to work! And the storm happened around 4pm Sunday!

Have a great week all! Khyra says tails up until tuemorrow!

Hugz&Khysses from Khyra's Khorner!

Another Weekend With Merdie

Rekhovering after our walk AND adventure in the driveway!

Woo khan chekhk out our walk - Mom khaptured our khuteness at multiple points along the way -

The furst one is near where woo saw Oswald and then the yappetizer patrol - please khlikhk

H E R E for the furst. Mom took some more paw-age as we got to the last blokhk or two, she took another - please khlikhk H E R E for that one.

Then, when we got bakhk to the driveway, Mom spotted something go UNDER the Xterra - so she switched the khamera bakhk on and made us aware of what was threatening MY Xterra! Please khlikhk H E R E for that one.
Whilst Mom was uploading the videos, she looked out and saw some khool kholours in the sky - so she grabbed the khamera and khaught them to share with all of woo!

Aren't they beautiful?

Mom did khatch one of our play sessions Saturday BUT even though we did it in the kitchen, it is a bit dark - I told her to inkhlude it anyway so woo khan see how much fun we had! Believe it or not, Merdie started this one. She started pawing me and HEY, I'm there! Woo khan see THAT by khlikhing H E R E

And since I've not shared my huzziness recently, here is a shot from Friday night!

Hope evfurryone has a nice Sunday! Don't furget, Mom will be here tomorrow fur Musikh Mon/Momday with J Guys of Note.

Merdie's people are doing another weekend trip down the shore SO I have to play khoncierge at Khyra's Khamp and Spa! Mom says she'll try to khapture us doing 'fun' things for MY blog on Sunday!

I would like to thank my sweet little friend fur this special award! I do try to be kind fur the world is khruel enough - sooooo I hope to paw it furward as best I khan!

Working For The Weekend - The J's

Khyra's Mom here with the Friday version of Musikh Momday (thanks Ammy!) - The J's -

There are so many J's to choose from that I'm going to khover them with two posts - and LADIES furst! UPDATE: I realize it will take THREE - males and groups!

No teenage girl from my era (old) khan't HELP but think of Janis Ian and At Seventeen. I know from some khonversations on my SMS group that the song hits home fur more than a few of us. In researching for this post, I discovered two versions that kind of full cirkhle it. Version One and Version Two Let's khall Version Two At Seventeen Redux! Janis had a very good release in late 2006

Next - Joni Mitchell - and in partikhular THIS SONG Coyote - I sooo suggest you chekhk it out. The first time I heard the song was from The Band's The Last Waltz album BUT this video is a bit more recent AND being the khanine lovers we are, I know you will enjoy it. Plus it inkhludes Pat Metheny - another great guitar player!

Being the musikh freak I am, I have to mention Janis Joplin - in fakht, she's a pseudo alter ego of mine - long story but a great story! Here is a video that khonnekhts Janis with another newer J - Joss Stone .

I must mention Jewel - after all, she's from Alaska! I'm looking forward to her new realease.

Two lesser known J's that I've diskhovered through various khonnekhtions would be Jen Cass and Judith Avers

I suggest you chekhk out the ladies mentioned above as well as offering your own "J Ladies Furst" performers!

Khyra wanted me to tank woo all fur the suggestions and offers of help to rid the yard of those EVIL KHRITTERS! She also wanted me to let woo know she does NOT drink from THAT evil trough! We keep that filled for the birds to drink and bathe in - as well as fur the skhwirrels and evil khritters to keep themselves hydrated. It is khwite entertaining to watch the khommunal bathing!

Miss Fluffy Tail would like to wish evfurryone a Happy Friday - especially The Kapp Pakhk's mom! She had so much fun last night and was furry happy woo khould khome by fur a visit! She khan't WAIT to see the rest of The Kapp Pakhk next weekend - especially Miss Sunshine Meadow!

Hugz&Khysses,
Khyra's Mom fur Khyra and Me
