Mom painted Nigel Buggers!

Hi everyone, just a quick post today cuz mom's trying to get ready for a show, but in case you haven't seen it yet, I thought you guys might like to see the painting of Nigel that mom painted for a charity auction to benefit A Place to Bark dog rescue. They need green papers to help finish their shelter.

Here is a link to the auction and a video of A Place to Bark. My mom is in awe of Bernie and all the tireless rescue work she does. It's such a wonderful cause, and mom is so happy to be able to help out this way.

Thanks fur looking. Mom says we're behind on reading blogs, so if we don't have a chance to stop by, know that we are thinking of you, and hope you have a great weekend.

Lots of luv,

Cloud and his mom

PS. And as always, if you have a question fur me, I'll answer it the next time I'm allowed to do Ask Cloud. :-)

I am not afraid of killer squirrels!!!

You all know I LOVE to bark at squirrels. Well, not long ago, my BFF (bloggy feisty feline) Ali Z. warned me about KILLER RUSSIAN SQUIRRELS that attacked and killed a dog who was barking at them, but my mom's been too busy to blog about it until now. So, Miss Ali was very kindly worried about my safety, so I told her that if I was afraid of a stupid squirrel, I would have to turn in my Dog Card.

But dis guy who's taken to frequenting MY yard, has mom (not me, MOM!) thinking that he looks suspiciously similar to to the alleged perpetrator in the news photo. And I know it's hard to tell in a photo, but dis guy is the biggest squirrel I've ever seen!!!

So mom (again, not ME!) was daydreaming about some doggie chain-mail or some kind of suit of armor, just in case dis squirrel was one of those evil, killing kind. And we found some! But the bad news is, IT COMES IN SQUIRREL SIZES TOO!!! (scroll down to see!)

I'm not afraid. No sir-ee! NO self-respecting terrier would EVER be afraid of a tree-rat squirrel!!! They just better not start playing King Arthur wiff me in MY yard... Maybe I should get that suit of armor just in case...???

Ask Cloud

Hello, furiends! It's time fur Ask Cloud.

My dear furiend Max asks, WHEN are you going to upgrade to a CAT chaser?

Max, I really can't see upgrading any time soon, because it's technically impossible fur me to CHASE A CAT. You'll understand when you read my reply to 'You Know Who'...

Tank want's to know, how did I get to be so smart?

Tank, it's no secret how gosh darned smart us dawgs are. In my case, blogging, writing poetry, and strategizing squirrel skirmishes give my noggin all the brain pushups it needs to stay fit. Thanks fur the compliment, dude!

Twix asks, What would you do with one of those tree rats once you caught it?

Well Twix, I plan to grab him by the back of the neck so the little twerp can't bite me. After that, I'm pretty much going to play it by ear. There are so many possibilities - I could shake him, toss him, jump on him, paw him... Maybe even take him out fur a drink after, if he turns out to be a nice enough fellow and forgives the whole 'trying to break his neck' thing...

Thanx fur writing, Twix

The incomparable Miss Ali Zophia is wondering, "Since Max and Khyra seem to think you should Chase cats, if you were to corner me, what would you do to me? or Boomer?

Now Miss Ali, I have one reason and one reason ONLY to run up to a cat... (and please note - if a cat sees me run up to it, and decides to run away from me, the CAT is the one initiating the so-called chasing, NOT me!) it's because I want to PLAY wiff you guys!!! I always stick my butt in the air, wag my tail, give a friendly bark, and do a little dance around the kitty... It's not my fault that you guys can't figure out I'm saying "LETS PLAY!!!" As a species, you cats really need to work on your communication skills. In fact, you might not even understand what I'm saying right now...? I will try to talk your language then: I will sit down, make that weird growly sound in my throat, hold my tail still, blink my eyes slowly, and practice looking 'disdainful'... heeheehee! Thanks fur writing Miss Ali, it's always so lovely to hear from you. And don't furget everyone, to check out Ali's column on Tuesdays. It's more fun than a bathtub full of squirrels!

Well, that's all fur Ask Cloud this week. Mom is thinking about changing it to every other week, or once a month, at least fur a while. (She's super busy until Christmas.) But feel free to leave a question anytime, and I'll answer it in the next Ask Cloud segment.

I luv you guys!

And remember:

~Do your part, bark at a squirrel!
