Today let’s talk about one of my favorite toys – Pirate Chicken. Isn’t he awesome? He’s plastic and he loves to play. He’s pretty rugged too which is great in my case. We play all of the time and trust me – lots of times I make him walk the plank off of the back of mom’s chaise – barks with puppy laughter.
And I have to tell you. There have been some rough moments in the life of Pirate Chicken. In fact, he’s been replaced at least twice because of unforeseen early deaths. You know it happens, right?
Well this week, I have to admit that we have a problem with Mr. Pirate Chicken… again.
.
It seems that Pirate Chicken has lost a wing and that you can now see his inner squeak which mom says is not good – not good at all. Therefore with a saddened look on my cute puppy face, I have to let you know that Chicken Pirate has now been buried. That makes Houdini 3 and Pirate Chicken -0-.
It also means that mom/dad are now on a hunt and find mission for Pirate Chicken #4. I gotta have a replacement. Pirate Chicken is like a baby that *needs* that pacifier. You know what I mean? So the hunt begins my friends. I’ll keep you posted.
That’s it for this week my friends – take care and have an awesome weekend! And don’t worry. I couldn’t leave you without Jokes from Dad. I hope you enjoy this one.
Oh my friends – lowers my puppy head. How was your week? Me, well as you can see from exhibit A – barks! – I’ve been a bad boy. You see, I’ve been taking correspondent lessons on toy destruction from Easy across the pond. I’ve been trying really, REALLY hard to get my timing down just right in how long it takes for my toys to blow up all over the place. It’s a work in progress.
Well, mommy came home from the worky place one day this week to this picture. Before she would even pet me, she had to take this picture and have a prayer meeting with me. I mean it wasn’t anything important that I destroyed. It was my toy football. You can see it – that yellow thing towards the bottom of the picture. I think I did a pretty good job in making it pay for its evil ways. What do you think?
That’s it for this week my friends – take care and have an awesome weekend!
Oh – and this weeks Jokes with Daddy. Oh my friends, I have a classic for you. This is really good. I hope you enjoy it!
Hello my dear friends. Life is gently getting back into a routine here at the Hotel Thompson – thank goodness for that! For a while there, us anipals wondered if it would happen. Mom/dad are both feeling better – still not 100% yet but getting there for sure. Mom even cooked dinner at home a couple of times this week. That in itself is a miracle – barks!
I got another new t-shirt to add to my wardrobe. Mom took this picture and said it came out so totally awesome. Do you think it is fitting for me? I mean, mom calls me her little angel all of the time. There just might be something to it. Maybe.
I hope you had a wonderful week my friends. I’m going to the groomer tomorrow. Mom/dad both say I’m in desperate need of some spa time. I have no clue what they mean by that. Do you?
That’s it for this week my friends – take care and have an awesome weekend!
Oh P.S. I couldn’t leave you without this weeks Jokes with Dad. I want to apologize up front. Dad has two short jokes this week. You’ll see why I want to apologize as soon as you hear them. Groans and shakes puppy head.
Barks! Hello my dear friends. I’m glad to report that the Hotel Thompson is now back up and running – the hazmat team has left and all of the flu cooties are reportedly out and MIA hitting others in the unknown. Mom and dad are in no way back to 100% but it’s good to say that at least us anipals know they aren’t secretly zombies trying to overtake us at night. Barks – heck, they couldn’t even move like regular humans for a while.
But no worries. Us anipals did the best we could in trying to take care of them. Unfortunately one day, mom/dad kicked us out of their bedroom and we all had to fend for ourselves while they slept. I think it did them good because when they awakened, they looked much more like the humans we know – ha!
And for those that asked, here is my rocking new tie-dye t-shirt. Isn’t it amazing? It fits so wonderful!
Just call me:
Cosmic Whimsical Unicorn
What’s your hippie name?
Oh and of course we can’t leave this week without Jokes from Daddy. Let’s give him his moment in the limelight – barks with puppy laughter. Have a great weekend my friends.
Yawns my friends – it’s been a LONG weekend. If you remember, last weekend I was suppose to go for my spa day. But due to the Snowmageddon weather, it got cancelled. I need my spa day desperately. Mom keeps calling me a street dog – I don’t get that. Do I look like a street dog in this picture?
I mean heck I’m fluffy and on and yeah my hair might be in my eyes and yeah I might need a bubble bath but a street dog? Really mom? So keep your fingers crossed for me dear friends that tomorrow I get to go and meet my friends at the Spa – and hopefully Fifi the cute little poodle will be there too. She’s adorable!
This week, I leave you with a spectacular toy that I got at Christmas. It was a fun toy. I say was because I’ve been taking lessons from my buddy Easy across the pond in toy destruction. I’m still in training and I have a long way to go but I’m getting there. Have fun with the video. Make sure you turn your sound up. The noise is fabulous. Even my mom LOVES that sounds constantly for hours. She always tells me, “Seriously Houdini?” I think I should get her one to play with too. What do you think?
Well that’s all for me my friends – yawns – I hope you had a wonderful week as well. Happy weekend!
Hello my dear friends – BARKS! Welcome to another week of my Paw Time with Houdini. This week has been exciting here at the Hotel Thompson. First up – I got a new bed – and who doesn’t like a new bed huh? You see I had a bed shaped like a crab but one night I had a dream and that bed miraculously exploded. Yep, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. This is my new bed. Looks kind of familiar huh? I already have a HUGE Kong size bed for my bedroom but this poochie bed is for the living room in front of the fireplace. Don’t all anipals have two beds for taking naps? BARKS – and let me tell you – it’s so comfy! The purr things have *tried* sleeping in it but I remind them really quick that they have beds and this one is mine and I marked it as such by rolling all over it and licking it.
.
Tomorrow I have an appointment with my groomer. I haven’t been in a couple of months because of all of the holidays and mom/dad running around. So trust me, it is much, MUCH needed. I feel like Cousin Itt from the Adams Family – BARKS – don’t you just love that show? Bacon has been watching it on DVD and we just snort and bark at it all day long.
Hopefully next week you will see much better groomed. Mommy says that she can barely see my eyes – I hate that! And hopefully, FiFi the sweet poodle I met last time will be there too.
And yes, this is one of my new shirts. It says, “Yeah, I work out!” Barks! Too funny huh?
Well that’s all for me my friends – yawns – I hope you had a wonderful week as well. Happy weekend!
Well my friends, it’s been a tough week. I’ve seen mom more than last week and it is getting better but sometimes her nights are spent at work instead of where she belongs – with us anipals here at the Hotel Thompson. Doesn’t she know her priorities? Of course, she reminds us gently that she is working to keep us in kibbles and treats… so we tend to forgive her *some*.
With mom being AWOL, me and Bacon have been pounding the keyboards ourselves taking care of our blogging. I’ll tell you something my friends – this is hard work. Really think about it. Humans have fingers that are made for typing. I have paws and it’s hard – talking about typo’s – thank goodness for spellcheck. And my poor brother Bacon, he has hooves! But on the other paw, he has been doing this for so long that he has gotten kind of used to the pounding. And trust me when his creative juices get flowing, you don’t want to be around him – he’s a BEAR not a pig during those times – barks with puppy laughter.
In fact, during one of his water breaks he took this picture of me pounding on my keyboard working on some replies. A dogs job is just never done!
Well that’s all for me my friends – yawns – I hope you had a wonderful week as well. Happy weekend!
Barks! I just gotta share something with you my friends. For Christmas, the big guy called Santa brought me some Greenies. Not just any kind of Greenies but Holiday Spice flavor. Can we talk? They are delicious! Someone told mommy about Greenies and said they were good for my gums and teeth – barks! And everyone knows that I got me some sharp teeth – just ask daddy when we play.
So Santa brought me some teenie sized Greenies – Oh my doggy heavens! They are perfect – just my size!
Look at that Greenie! Isn’t it *almost* as adorable as me – I said *almost*. Barks with puppy laughter. When I got my first one, I didn’t know what to do with it but I knew I wanted it because it smelled so yummy. Then a few minutes later, I figured out what it was and destroyed it. Now, mommy has to mention Greenie and I’m so there waiting for one.
How about you? Do you enjoy a good Greenie every once in a while? Do you like them? What kind of flavor do you have?
That’s it for this week my friends – take care and have an awesome weekend!
Barks! Oh my friends – what a busy two weeks we have had here at the Hotel Thompson and in blogville. Christmas is now behind us and the New Year has today started. The New Year with lots of great new beginnings and lots of memories to make and share.
There are so many things that we have coming up here at the Hotel Thompson. Me and Bacon have a new series coming up called Spotlight Thursday that you can’t miss. It’s where we interview friends – some you may know and some you will meet to make new friends. We hope you enjoy it!
Mom is also going to be highlighting a travel series that my cousins went on overseas. That way we can *all* live through them and their pictures – barks! And I’ve seen some pictures – OMD – they are fantastic for sure.
I want to leave you with a photograph that my mom did of me. She took the picture and used an app to ‘paint’ me from the picture. We all think it came out marvelous! In fact, I think my mommy is going to get it printed on canvas to hang in my bedroom. What do you think of it?
Mom was so impressed with the app that she did a ‘painting’ of our friends Shoko and Kali as well. Go check it out when you get a chance. It’s an amazing app and it was FREE – those are the words that my daddy seems to absolutely LOVE to hear these days. He mumbles about something about being broke after the holidays. I don’t know what that word broke means – it’s not in my puppy vocabulary – barks.
So my friends I leave you with a picture of me doing what I do best – sleeping on mom’s new fuzzy blankie. My mom/dad said that blanket would be comfortable and I’m hear to tell you – it really is! I cuddled up in it and passed out asleep.
So all I gotta say is that the pig can have his king sized Egyptian cotton sheet. I got mom’s new full sized fuzzy blankie – barks with puppy laughter!
.
.
Well that’s all for me my friends – yawns – I hope you had a wonderful week as well. Happy weekend!
Oh our dear friends – MERRY CHRISTMAS!! At this time, all of us here at the Hotel Thompson would like to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas holiday. May your day be surrounded by the love of your family and friends. We love you all and wish you all of the happiness in the world!
Miniature pot bellied pig and friends - Bacon, Houdini, Hemi and all of the Rock Clan with Journalist Rocky the Squirrel all out looking for adventures from the Hotel Thompson.
Look at that Greenie! Isn’t it *almost* as adorable as me – I said *almost*. Barks with puppy laughter. When I got my first one, I didn’t know what to do with it but I knew I wanted it because it smelled so yummy. Then a few minutes later, I figured out what it was and destroyed it. Now, mommy has to mention Greenie and I’m so there waiting for one.
