After my big snow day the weather warmed up a bit to turn my "hood" into a bit of an icy wonderland. Pictured above is a nice family of icicles just hangin' out - personally I think they're a chain gang. I tried to lick the icicles to see if they were as yummy as a poopsicle but sadly they paled in comparison to a juicy poopsicle. Below are a few other pictures from the day.
Yesterday I had a snow day!! Yay! About 8pm on Sunday night Dr. SH called my mom and told her that I didn't have to go into work on Monday because there was a major "Nor'easter" expected overnight. This storm was expected to dump up to a foot of snow and create utter chaos with the morning commute. The last Nor'easter we had created a great deal of havoc on the roads so it was just a better choice to close the clinic. I personally think that Dr. SH did not want me getting hurt on my commute to work. I also think that she wanted me to catch up on my nap tim....zzzzz.....
Now that the tale of my parents' adventures in St. John is over I will revert back to discussing important topics in my life as a dog interspersed with tidbits from my parents' life and random blather and woof-outs. My original intention for today's blog was to discuss my suggestions of ice sculptures for the upcoming wedding. My mom assures me that she has absolutely NO intention of having an ice sculpture at her wedding, but I thought I could persuade her to change her mind if I found the right one; perhaps in the shape of a cute dog much like myself. So, while doing internet research on ice sculptures I came across the image that I have featured above for a product called Poop Freeze. I guess just a little spray with this product and you can turn any "steamer" into an instant "poopsicle"...this made me very excited cause my mom and dad 2b know how much I love steamers! and poopsicles! and kitty poop! Oh my! Mmmm...
...and they waited...and they waited. Until, one December evening, the "green flash" occurred. About an hour before this picture it looked like conditions would be ideal for the flash. In anticipation my dad 2b put two drops of the magic concoction into the dread pirate cat's dinner. The picture above was taken about an hour later - click on picture to enlarge and see the beginnings of the green flash of the sun. The picture was taken moments before the actual flash. To read more on the phenomenon of the green flash click here. To view a REALLY cool video of the green flash occurring by the Golden gate bridge click here. Now back to the blog...please note that if my mom stayed around to take the next shot my parents would not have had time to escape the dread pirate cat. In fact, right after this picture was taken my parents took advantage of the pirate cat's drunken stupor and ran away into the night...and into their freedom.
(Continued from previous entry)...and they waited....
The pirate pug was very knowledgeable and very helpful with creating a plan to escape the dread pirate cat. He told my parents to formulate a secret potion made with the nectar of the "cotton candy" flower (shown above) ...and the crushed flesh of the fungus-amongus plant...
topped off with 3 prickly things from the phallic cactus plant.
After several days of servitude to the dread pirate cat, my parents decided that it was time to think of an escape plan. Unknown to the pirate cat, the very container that held the treasure "Cinna-spy" also contained a note with how to summon the all knowing, (not-so) dread ex-pirate pug. All they had to do was to rub together two dog bones (or reasonable facsimile) and think really hard about a juicy T-bone steak. After a few minutes, and much salivation,(remember my parents hadn't eaten much)... POOF! the ex-pirate pug appeared to help my parents plan their escape.
So long! Dread pirate cat! meow.
