Its Springtime?

Hello everyone,

Thanks for stopping by, we all appreciate it.
Living in Colorado is really cool. Just 3 days ago we had record highs and we were sitting outside with pop with the umbrellas up so we wouldn't get sun burned. Yes, we can get sunburned too.

So what changed?

Well, when we went out this morning and were sitting on the back porch, we kind of thought it would be just like another day, a little cooler, but what the heck.

Of course, pop knew the weather was going to turn on us but he didn't tell us. Actually, I am not really sure how he would.

Anyway, we do our usual in the morning, walk around the yard, make sure no one else has been in our territory, then we usually go back in and just relax for the day that any dog would have to face. The life of leisure, while pop goes to work and makes sure we have what we need.

Pop didn't go to work today, he takes days off sometimes, so he took me for a ride. We went to the store and library for a few minutes each and then home.

After that, I noticed that the snow was starting to come down harder. Mom and Pop decide to go back out. They had a couple errands to run and then they got a Pizza.
Of course, I got to go with them. Nothing like Pizza on a cold day. Problem is, I coudldn't care less about their pizza, I don't eat them anyway.

I do care about the fact that even I knew that the driving conditions were bad. Couldn't see farther than maybe 1/8 of a mile. It was really a blizzard, white out conditions. Pop said, he should have brought his sunglasses since they have a glare protector in them and they really work in these conditions. He said that he wasn't able to see real good,(wow that makes me feel real safe), since the ice kept freezing on the wipers which kept them from working correctly. Anyway, we finally made it home safe.

When we were watching the TV, one of the things that they were saying is that several of the drivers were having trouble with the ice freezing on their wipers and they were pulling off or stoping on the roads to knock the ice off. They asked that people not do that since it was causing some problems.

Here is what I don't get. How in the world do the people that are driving know that they are creating a problem and are supposed to heed the advice of the TV news teams when they aren't in front of their TV. The last time I checked, most people don't have TV's in their cars. I don't know if pop got out and knocked ice of of his wipers, I had my eyes closed because we couldn't see anyway. I think I took a nap. I do know that he saw the news on TV about the ice on wipers and he said something about how he did knock the ice off in a different way than how they were describing it. I said yeah, sure pop. Anyway, I will let you decide for yourselves, what he really did.

Below are some pictures of the day unfolding. No snow, little snow, more snow, Buddy saying I am not going back out, Everyone back out lots of snow.



















It is supposed to stop by around Midnight tonight and start to dry up and clear up.

I love Colorado

Thank you for stopping by!!

Love you

Sully, Buddy, Lena

I made it Home

Hello again,

I just wanted to let everyone know that we all made it home tonight from getting our haircuts.

Here I am , don't I look good?




Here is Buddy -He looks good too.



Lena was too busy eating her treats to pose tonight. Maybe tomorrow night.

See ya all later

Hey Pop How About a Hair cut

Hello everyone.
As pop is writing this, I am at Petsmart getting a haircut. I had get all over pop to get me a haircut. It is almost as if he forgot all of us.
It has been 7 weeks since our last cut and lately we have been having some very nice weather here for this time of year.
Gee, I wonder what it would be like if pop wore his heavy jacket all the time. I am sure he would get warm and take it off. In fact I guarantee you, he would. I have seen him do it many times when he says he is warm.
Well, guess what pop, I can't take my coat off when I get warm. I have to pant to stay cool. That is how we do it.
By the way, what were you waiting for anyway?

Did you just forget?
Did you loose interest?
Were you short of funds?

If you were short of funds,haven't you heard of the bailouts that have been happening? Remember, I lay around the house all day and I hear that on the TV all the time. Plenty of money is going out there for all kinds of stuff. I think I am just as important.

I am sure you could have applied for some of that Tarp money. You may have even been able to get a bonus and maybe get me some treats too.

Wow, I have kind of gone into a short rant here, haven't I? OK, I will get off the soapbox and hopefully, you can keep your mind of me long enough to come and pick all of us up.

OK, I will see you soon, right pop? It is getting kind of late.

Later

Love ya, Sully, Buddy, Lena

Just to Say Hello

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to take a minute out of my very busy Dog schedule ( I need a day planner to keep up with my activities) and say hello and give a little update on things around here.
2 weeks ago Lena had her surgery and also had a hernia repaired. She had to spend the night in the doggie hospital. That meant I had the house to myself and Buddy. Great, relaxing, no F5 tornadoes around here.

Pop told me that when she came home, she would be subdued and I would have many more relaxing nights before she was back to herself.

Guess what, I think pop doesn't have a clue because the minute she got out of the car and saw me, up came the storm again. I will have to say that it was only an F3 class tornado, but I kind of expected less.

Anyway, you get the picture. She has tremendous energy and I took it easy on her becasue I knew she didnt know that she was supposed to not be so rowdy.

After a few days, we got back to our old selves again and now we are playing hard.

I wish everyone well and will talk to you later.

Love

Sullly, Buddy, Lena

Sullybowl I

Hello everyone,

We had our own Superbowl here today. Pop threw the football down the hall and Lena and I chased it and whoever brought it back to pop got a point.

As usual, I started out quickly and got the first 3 before Lena actually was even into the game. I must admit, once she catches on, she can get pretty rough. I mean, today she actually jumped of the 3' high retaining wall in the back. I guess I should have know I was going to be in for a rough game after I saw that.
Lena got the next 2 points, then she recruited Buddy. You see, Buddy gets excited and starts barking when Lena and I play. It got me rattled and Lena got the next 2 as I went after Buddy and tried to shut him up. It must be what crowd noise is at those games on TV that pop watches.

Ok, after halftime, I got my cool back ( sullycooldog ) and I made good play after good play. Even though Lena is a puppy,and has energy, she gets distracted easily. I faked her out by acting like I was getting a treat and then when she tried to get it from me, I went for the ball and brought it home to pop. Final score Sully 8 Lena 7. I was really glad the old dog Buddy decided that he had enough excitement and took a nap in the second half so I could keep my concentration.

Why do I bring all this up. Well, remember I was born in Phoenix, my middle name is Phoenix, and I represent the Cardinals and if they just follow how I got the victory, then they can too.

Remember, you saw it here first. Good Luck Cardinals.

Below, 2 players that left it on the field today.



We are Tired



That is me, Lena



Buddy, just Posing

We will talk to you all later

Sully Cool Dog Happy New Year

Hello Everyone,

It is Jan 4th and the new year is off and running. We have had 68 degrees (Jan 2nd), 3" of snow (Jan 3rd) and 25 degrees as a high today (Jan 4th).

Lena has learned to jump onto the bench now and I am glad for that. She no longer needs to jump up and pull me to the floor by my ears as pictured below. That was ok at first, kind of funny, but it got very old after a couple of times.


We found a picture of me when I was 6 months old and I wanted to share it with you.

This is a picture of Buddy on Jan 2 when it was 68 degrees outside. How can you not love that guy?

My sister Lena and I are playing in the nice weather

You see, miracles do happen - Buddy and Lena get along very well now

You know who this is. I am just a Cool Dog - Right?


Again wishing everyone a Happy and Prosperous New Year

Sully, Buddy, Lena

Hey Sully - Lend me an Ear

Hello everyone,

You are probably wondering what this title is about today.
It will take some imagination, but I am sure you have it, especially if you are reading my stories.

Since I am still the top dog in this house, ( but I may be losing some ground on that ranking), I have to share the story of how Lena is starting to move in on my status.

Looking at the picture below, you can see that I like to get on the couch because I know Lena can't get there yet. She will be able to soon, but for now, she is just a little too short on her jumps to get there. Why is all this important?

Lena has learned a little trick that once again humbles me. When I lean over the front of the couch, my ears hang just enough that Lena is able to jump up and grab one of my ears. She doesn't let go and now she has learned how to drag me off the couch by yanking on my ear and pulling me down.

Now, this is where your imagination comes in. The pictures shows the couch, now just imagine Lena jumping up with me taunting her. She finally gets my ear and then on her way down she yanks me off the couch. Really, it does happen and I have to give her credit for being very resourceful.



As soon as we can get a picture or video of this, we will post it.

For the time being, I am still tops and plan on staying there.

See ya Later from the 3 of us and

Happy Holidays

Sully, Buddy, Lena

Sully and Winter Again

Hello Everyone,

Well, it is time again for winter. Our new sister got a taste of the real winter conditions here in Denver. You can see from the pictures that she was out in the very cold snow and then just had to relax by the fire to get warm.
Our low as -2 on Thursday night and then it warmed up to 62 on Sunday, but we are going on another roller coaster this week again with about 10" of snow forcast for the week.

We will show you how we did when pop takes some more pictures.

Lena says it is so much colder this time than last time it snowed.




Wow, That was cold, lets go in and get warm again. Snow is fun, but this is more fun.



Buddy really takes it easy, don't you think?



Bye for now

Sully, Buddy, Lena

Sully Says Happy T-day

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone,

This was our first Thanksgiving with our new Sister Lena. I am very thankful she has joined our family. She is getting to be quite the character. I am still a little jealous of her at times.

I have to tell you this quick story even if I am going to have to be humble to bring it on. The other day, pop was picking up the poops that we did in the yard and when he went to empty it in the special bucket we have, he saw one of the stuffed animals in there.

I don't know what goes thru his mind, but he kind of just looked at it, looked at us, of course we just turned our heads at him, then he looked at it again and just shook his head. He didn't say anything, just walked away.

Later that night, mom told him how Lena was playing with the stuffed chicken and that Sully ( thats me ) got very jealous or upset, she used different words, and he decided to put his mark on it. She had no choice but to put it in the garbage.

I know pop was laughing pretty good, because he said to her, I couldn't figure out what had happened, but I can sure see the top dog doing something like that.

I am told that it is a good thing I am the top dog, because if I would have been a human, I just might have received a nice little spanking for doing something like that.

It is nice to be able to do stuff like that and get away with it.

Anyway, I wanted to show you some of our Thanksgiving day pictures and wish everyone a Happy and Peaceful day.

Sully's Sister and Near Tragedy

Hello Everyone;

We had some major excitement around here 2 nights ago. Pop was getting ready to take us for a walk and we decided that Lena could go with us. Pop put her in the arm sling and we started off and got 2 houses down when Lina got excited and decided that she wanted join Buddy and Me.

There was only 1 problem. She was about 4’ in the air and she decided that she could fly. She tried to jump out of the sling and pop tried to stop her but she got away and took a nasty fall onto the concrete sidewalk. It scared the crap out of us; she was really hurt and crying like no ones business. Pop ran her to the house, he dropped the leashes we were on and we followed him back to the house. Mom took Lena and she (Lena) stopped crying. I was so scared, I ran upstairs and started crying also. Buddy was so concerned that he just sat there with his big eyes just staring at Lina.

After a little bit of time, maybe 30 minutes, human time( now I hear that if you multiply that by 7 which equals dog time,you can imagine how long that was to us) it looked like there were no serious injuries and pop took her and placed her on the floor because he wanted to see if she was walking straight. She was. Buddy was now walking next to her and was very gentle as he was concerned. Then I didn’t think I would see this happen but Buddy shared his chicken strip with Lena. We then went out to the back and now Buddy was playing with Lena and that was the first time that had happened. I finally came downstairs ( I was watching thru the railings) and went outside and we all started playing thankful that our new little sister, of which we were so jealous of just a few moments before had actually survived that nasty fall.

Now as you can see in the picture, both Buddy and I have accepted her and we are all one happy family as we lay on the bed together. We are glad that we have a sister; she is really getting to be fun to play with.



Sometimes it takes a near tragedy to pull people together and I guess that we are not all that different. We have feelings too.

Talk to you all Later

Sully and Buddy are Back with new Sister

Hello everyone.
Wow, I haven't been on here since July 26th. What happened to Sully Shih Tzu during that time.

I have a new sister now. Her name is Lena.



When she was born she was so small that Mom and Pop named her that after Thumbalina (not sure of the spelling). She was born up in Washington State and Mom was up there for 3 weeks visiting with her daughter and then brought her home. She is pretty cool now, at least as far as I am concerned, but Buddy is having a hard time with her.

It was hard for me at first because you know, I am top billing around here and when Mom brought Buddy home, I was ok with that because it gave me a companion. When Mom brought home Lena, it was pretty much of a shock because we had been with Pop for 3 weeks and then a little whirling dervish comes into the house and kind of takes over. Honestly. I didn't know what it was at first. She is the size of a squirrel that runs around the back yard. I couldn't believe Mom and Pop were bringing in a squirrel from the back, then I figured it out after watching her for a day,that maybe she would be one of us. Buddy still doesn't know what she is, but he has always been a little slow anyway.


There has been alot happen since July 26th and I will get some of the stories out to all soon.
