Good "Grief" Friday

Karo Mae and Lil' Leigh Beane's Dog Blog
Well, I must say that Madame No really has done her best to keep me off the blog... What?!?!?!? Doesn't she trust me? Does she think that I'll act on line like I do when that God Damn Akita walks by the fence with his dog dad? No, I'm not going to jump the virtual fence and attack interested blog readers! Geesh!

Well, okay, I'm totally bummed that warmer weather is coming.... just yesterday I was hanging out in the yard and had big ole long drool strands coming out of both sides of my mouth. Karo Mae aka Miss Priss thinks it's gross and beneath her; however, Rabbit (my little buddy) loves my drool and licks it up.

Well, it looks like another lonely night by myself as Madame No heads out for the Billy Joel concert.... why oh why can't she take ME instead of some random human? Do I smell? (Okay, sometimes) Do I not sit when told to? (Okay, sometimes). Does she have a problem with me smelling peoples' crotches? (Okay, most of the time!). Never mind, I'll stop being a bitch (although, just for the record, Karo, I'm not a bitchy bitch!).

Hello again!

Karo Mae here. Well, finally I'm back on line. Scoop's computer ran out of space and it took her forever to get a new one. She was afraid I would drool on her work computer! Good grief...I'm not Lil Leigh the drool queen.

Anyhow, Scoop and Madame No have had me and Lil spending far too much time together. They made us ride all the way to Atlanta and back over Christmas in the back seat of an SUV. So much for Scoop and her "carbon footprint" banter. She was sooooooooooooo busted. Anyhow, Lil took up the ENTIRE backseat and shed so much that I was starting to look like a bernard. Not a pretty site. But, we met some fun pack members down there...and got in some good peeing on Madame No's mom's rug. He he!

So, back on the Hill, our pack is ever-expanding. In addition to Emma Beachel, Rabbit Ko and Ebby Diadiallo Cagley Harding are full fledged members. Meanwhile, I've discoverd that my next door neighbor Maizey Kramer gets much better kibble that me. She's my new best friend.

Scoop's all beside herself with Bush's opinion rating down to 36%. She's so easily entertained, it's embarrassing sometimes.

All 4 now!

Mangy Dog here...

2005-11-24T11:39:00.000-08:00

Emma (numero uno) here. Well...all the humans are off to distant points to overindulge in turkey and pie while I am here by myself. Sure wish that I wasn't so cranky all the time. That way L'il and Karo Mae could hang out here with me and we could overindulge (in perhaps some sofa or pillows). That would be fun. I guess I am just getting old and bitchy. I really like them, but they are so young and spry it just makes me long for the ol' days when I could bound a fence in a single leap, and crawl into someone's lap for some lovin'.

I just wanted to say thanks to Karo Mae for her tribute to my pal Tawny. She was a good dog and she will be missed.

Well, I hope y'all have a great Thanksgiving. I give thanks to my human, Elaina (aka mangy dog) and to the L'il Leigh Beane and Karo Mae.

Maybe mom will bring me home a doggie bag! Woohoo!

Well, Karo Mae here. Scoop has made it cold and rainy again AND she didn't take me to the Cemetery AT ALL this weekend. Just because she found out that Scooter and Judy were doing more than talking about CIA agents. Guess ol' Scoot is in the doghouse bigtime. BUT everyone and their DOG new about their tryst. Scoop is pathetic right now. She even took in the anti-Walmart movie last week. She's gonna need a LOT of help to get her through the next 3 years of this administration!

Well, while Scoop is off to points south, I'm heading to her ex's for Turkey Day and beyond. I always told her that he liked me more than he did her. He feeds me $17.85/lb salmon....AND I'M A DoG! One of the best things about going up to Takoma is the occasional Pig Dog siting. Pig Dog is part pit bull and rest Ugly. The only thing uglier that I can think of is his owner, PigDogLady (OK, not that creative of a name, but I'M A DoG!). Maybe I can score a pic.

And, finally, I have to note that this past week has seen the passing of some mighty fine members of our pack - B Taylor, Sammy and Tawny - you are missed here. We hope there are lots of doggie treats where you are. For the rest of us, just remember, this time of year you're better off being a DOG than a turkey.

Slobber Party

2005-11-09T14:33:00.000-08:00

Karo here..again. Well, last night MN was out of town, so guess who came to dinner at chez moi....and stayed...and stayed and stayed and even peed on the rug (guess it was a quid-pro-dog for my stunts chez Lil. Her london broil lips on my turf sure ruined my night of joy at watching the returns come in from VA, NJ, and the failure of the non-girly boy's props out on the other coast. Now if we can just get Karl Rover out of office. After Cheney's comments this week supporting torture, I was sure happy to read in the Reliable Source that Ms. Cheney was spotted adopting cats. Maybe they do target practice on them. I guess that's OK.

Lil and I do agree on one thing - both MN and Scoop are engaging in far toooooo many K9-banned activities of late. Where are the long fall walks? Don't you know that bicycling is dangerous? You are much better off walking with your k9. Is it too early to register wonderdogsforwarner.org?

Howloween!

2005-10-29T14:09:00.000-07:00

Karo here. This was a tough week. It was cold and rainy almost all week, and that took a BITE out of my walks. Plus, Scoop worked late nights. I was so lonesome that I was even starting to miss ol' Lil. BUT, now it's Howloween. Scoop's been parading me around the Hill all morning in this ridiculous costume that HER best friends from Florida sent up. Obviously, they HATE me. BUT, all was not lost as several folks thought that I looked "so darn cute" that I was able to score a few extra pats.

Scoop hasn't even thanked me for finding out that some of the Murky crew ARE religious, but none are "vangies" (evangelists - duh!) to our knowledge. SO, bring on the lattes ! WHEW!

I was happy to see ol' Scooter get the booter this week. Scoop (not to be confused w/ Scoot) had a Chihuahua named Scooter bite her when she was about 7 when she put a clothes pin on his tail. ROCK ON, Scooter! Anyhow, that's another story. I'm on to this conspiracy theory that the right wing conspiracy is going to let Cheney fall so that W can appoint Condi to VP and then she'll be sitting pretty just in time for 2008! OK, no, I'm not the first to spin this idea, but hey, I'm a DOG!

Skippy Comes to Visit

2005-10-29T07:51:00.000-07:00

Well, I thought things were improving w/ Madam No's life when she got home at 6:00pm; but, noooooooooooooooooooooo, I was wrong. She got home early because her boy toy, "Skippy," came to town from Laguna Beach. Don't get me wrong, I like Skippy, but ..... Skippy thinks I'm a cat. Is he high? I weigh 111lbs, he apparently doesn't believe that and tells his posse that I weigh 151 lbs...... AND he has the audacity to pick me up on occasion... WHAT THE YOU-KNOW-WHAT is he thinking? Well, he scored major points with me yesterday by going for a 2 hour walk, but then, Dog Dammit, he took me to Chateux Animaux and bought the dreaded, hated, loathed, scornful "Gentle Leader!" "Gentle" my ass! That thing bugs the shit out me and interferes with squirrel chasing and dog fighting.

It's okay though, Skippy's nice, he rubs my tummy with his foot! He refers to me as "the Breeching Cat!" Whatever!!!

Another Blaugh Monday

2005-10-24T18:30:00.000-07:00

It's me, Lil' Leigh Beane, or "Beaner" as Madam No calls me. Well, today was boring! She got up, took me for way too short of a walk and rushed out of the house. I waited around, barked at dogs walking by the house, tried to jump out the window at some obnoxious squirrels in my yard, drooled on the window sill, and took a bunch of naps.

No got home late - like 8pm... Gesh, doesn't that chick realize I have to poop and pee? No worries, dear readers, I pooped in the middle of S. Carolina Ave. and peed in the middle of the sidewalk.... I showed No!

To her credit, she appoligized and snuggled with me, gave me a big meal, and a new raw hide bone... she means well, but lately has had way too much of a typical DC type job...

Hogtied!!!

2005-10-23T19:42:00.000-07:00

Karo here. Well Scoop and MN had the bright idea to have a picture of me and LilLeigh on the blog. Ughh. It was miserable. Not ONLY was it still raining, but I had to get close to that dogdamn LilLeigh. To make a bad thing worse, wouldn't you know it that Lil is camera shy, so something that should have taken less than 2 minutes dragged on, and on, and on. And then, that ridiculous tail of hers that she's so proud of. Get that thing out of my face.! Finally, they realized that the only way to get us near each other was to hogtie us to the fence. How do you spell miserable? Anyhow, that's over with.

Fortunately, today, Sunday was a beautiful day. Scoop had dear old friends from Peace Corps days over for breakfast, so I staged a panic attack around their kids and got banished to my room. Then we went for a stroll at the Market, and I pulled on my leash RELENTLESSLY. Guess those nice folks won't be rescuing any doogs any time soon. Scoop planted bulbs today, and I pursued my top secret project of digging to China under the porch next door. Shhhhhhhhhh. Don't tell Lil.

Rainy Saturday's Bite..

2005-10-22T13:36:00.000-07:00

I hate rain. Really takes the fun out of a good walk to have to get wet. AND, it kills all the good smells that I can otherwise pick up in the pee-mails I usually get to sniff. Scoop and Madame No (MN) were out late last night. I hate spending Friday nights alone. They went to yet another Democratic fundraiser. Then, they went to Tapa's that was doing last call @ 10:30....ON A FRIDAY NIGHT!!! NOT good. Guess the girls are back on the political bandwagon. It was good for me to take this past year off. But you gotta admit with the world going down the tubes right now, we gotta do something.

Seems that topics @ Murky this morning were:

will we go to war w/ Syria;
are the staff at Murky born again Christians;
and if so can they be invited to a Halloween party; and
will the new coffee shop across from E. Market be wi-fied.

Final tallies came in at probably not, maybe, not sure but why not and it better if they expect to live. More investigation is needed. Thing is that things are going south so fast for W that he's likely to do anything to get attention off of Plame gate, Delay and Iraq. BUT, if it turns out that Murky is a Moonie enterprise, they are raking it in w/ the price of those lattes.

While Scoop is already thinking 2008, I'm focusing on 2006. Tommy Wells is running for Sharon A's seat. I told Scoop that I would endorse him if he will pledge to wi-fi the entire Ward. Why not? It would sure make my blogging easier.

Rainy Day's and Saturdays Always Keep Me Inside!

2005-10-22T13:07:00.000-07:00

I didn't really believe the forescast of rain all day and figured my mom, Madam No, would spend a bunch of time walking me around! But no! It rained, I got wet and she got irritated! AND, she was moving rather slowly! Anyways, M. No's friend, Scoop, came over with Karo... you remember, the whining and barking and whining and barking and ... oh, yeah, you already know her, don't you? Anyway, Scoop was determined to take a picture of me with Karo... see for yourself how that photo op worked out..... Simply, it all interferes with squirrel killing which is in the forefront of my mind (ALL the time). Oh yeah, I drooled on the window sill, pooped in front of Yarmouth, and burped in Scoop's face.... good day!

Lil Leigh buts in her big fat head

2005-10-21T16:53:00.000-07:00

I'm Lil' Leigh Beane (pronounced "Lilly Bean"), my dog mother, well let's call her Madam No - as in everytime I try to kill a squirrel, a cat, or some irritating dog, she yells, "NO!" Madam No busted me out of the big house (Washington Animal Rescue League) around November of last year. I was doin' time after a case of domestic abuse.... Times are better now! Madam No calls me a "Duppy" (Dog Urgan Professional)... UGh, she's not real smart, but at least she's pretty.

No's pal is some lady up the street... she's CONSTANTLY commenting about my freckles and touching my face.... to be honest, I love the attention. The only thing is her dog! Ugh, that dog whines and barks and whines and barks and... okay you get the picture! I want to be her friend and can't quite figure out why she's anxious around me - maybe it had to do with trying to bite her neck when I first met her.... GET OVER IT, Bitch! Sorry, that's just a little carryover lexicon from the big house.

Tonight was okay, although No wasn't too into having me jump up on her with my big wet paws... picky, picky! I pooped, she cleaned it up, barked at a couple dogs, and ran into one of my new puppy pals, Rabbit... yeah that is a little confusing if his name is Rabbit, but he is a dog... his person is "pretty," too.

Hi Everyone,

I'm Karo Mae, a 110% mutt formerly known as "Doll Baby". Yeah, that named sucked, but it was what they called me at the Rescue League. I was willing to tolerate it as they were kind enough to get me out of West Virginia. God, that was a hard place to grow up! I almost didn't make it.

Now I live on the Hill...with my "owner" who I'll call "my scooper" - as in she scoops poop and food. Fits. Now I'm "Karo", as in the syrup, 'cause Scoop thinks I'm so doggone sweet. Scooper comes from the South, so she's into that kind of thing. My middle name is "Mae" because Scooper says that anybody coming from a "decent" family in the South has a middle name. Whatever. Just keep my bowl full and provide me with a steady supply of bones and I'll answer to just about anything.

There are lots of dogs on the Hill, but wouldn't you know that it would be just my lousy luck that Scoop's best friend on the Hill has a dog that is my worst enemy...or nearly, next to that horrible Chacha down the street. LilLeigh (Bean) is a freckled-face Saint Bernard who butts her big fat head into EVERYTHING. I just know that she will be butting into this blog before too long.
