Decorating For Halloween

 The VonHolediggers are starting to decorate the yard for Halloween.
We have Wilma the black cat that won’t go away and the mighty Pumpkin.
If you look closely at the Pumpkin you can see how full of it our parents are.  This is how it played out.  Barbara gave us the Pumpkin, daddy had a pumpkin vine that would not produce any pumpkins.  So they propped up the Pumpkin and act like they are growing it.
We were taught not to fib and now they have this huge thing on a bucket, Unbelievable.
If it wasn’t on the other side of the fence I would lift my leg on it…

“There are three things I have learned never to discuss with people... Religion, Politics, and The Great Pumpkin. ”

Plant your Chrysanthemums, mums the word...

We the VonHolediggers hate fleas.  Even though the parents treat us, we get the occasional lingering flea.  So I am hear to tell you Fall if for planting so go get your Mums and start planting this week.


Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes and are a real treat in any garden. One chemical found in chrysanthemums disables and kills the nervous system of fleas. In fact pyrethrum, an insecticide found on garden shop shelves, is derived from chrysanthemum extracts. 



Thank you!

Election Update: Things become Goofy...

It has been brought to our attention that we need a third party for our election.
 Mrs. Berry  wrote to us on our Facebook these words.
"I tend to wonder if the Scoob has "inhaled" a time or two...
Snoopy is a vet. However, I heard he may have had a small involvement in the
 "Water Bowl Scandal."  I had thought about how the election would go,
 if Goofy ran as a third party. However, there is an issue with his failure to
produce his AKC papers. The conspiracy theories question if he is even a
canine or not. His girlfriend is a cow, after all."


We must say, very good question and well thought out.
So we our here to nominate Goofy is a third party.
May you continue to voice your opinion on our Facebook,
just type in vonholedigger, Cheers!

Thank you for your time!

Candidates chosen for Election Day 2012

Hear Ye, Hear Ye
Just in off  the VonHoledigger Post

This dog quadrennial election will be between:
                                          Snoopy and Scooby-Doo.

There is a bit of good old fashion debating in the VonHoledigger house this evening.  It appears that the Springer Collection and Wally are for Snoopy.
Barney, Putter, Bogey, and Freddie Mercury are fans of Scooby.
Freeway Freida is on the fence and George is off being dazed and confused to what is even going on.  Daddy gave him his medicine for his sore leg so I think he is stoned again.
It started to get ugly when Henry was getting in Barney’s face saying you don’t like Snoopy because he is white!
Where did that come from?  We were not raised like this.
Oh, my!  I will keep you posted.  We invite each of you to become our friend on Facebook where you can voice your opinion too.  Just search for VonHoledigger. 
We look forward to hearing who you think would be the best dog president of this beautiful Country, USA!

VonHolediggers celebrate the Golden 50th Blog

fif·ti·eth
[fif-tee-ith]  adjective 1. next after the forty-ninth; being the ordinal number for 50. 2. being one of 50 equal parts.


Wow, who would of thought that the VonHolediggers had so much to say?  We have been writing now for four months and this officially will be our 50th Blog! 
We have had a lot to talk about.  Informative, funny, silly, and just plain interesting.
We are ten dogs who are in charge, we take each day one paw at a time.  We are happy dogs and love to live.  Some ask me why I have so much Blog time?  My response is I am the go getter, I have a lot to say.
Another questions I get is why do I pick on Freddie Mercury?  Do I really have to answer such a question.  Just look at him.
In the coming Blogs I invite you to email me.  You can ask me a question or what my opinion is on something.    I will try to answer the best a dog can.
We thank all of you for your support and love.  We look forward to the next 50 blogs!

Cheers my friends-

Putter Butter in the middle of the night

Who needs a Slip ‘N Slide when you have Putter.
The other night  daddy got up to tinkle and there he went.
He slid right into some Putter Butter…
So gross, I think Putter  has potty issues because when ever he goes outside to do his business.  Henry lifts his leg on him.  That’s not very nice.
Daddy  kind of had a melt down.  I am sure you could hear his naughty language all of the way to Campbell County.  He had the Putter Butter all over his foot into his toes because he was wearing his Birkenstocks. 
Mommy was no help, she laid in bed and quietly laughed with her body shaking.  The Springer Collection knew to stay next to mommy.
I on the other hand watched this all play out.  Once Daddy got everything cleaned up he went around and apologized to all of us for cussing.  If we were to charge a quarter for a naughty word, we would be wealthy.
-Freddie Mercury

Vinnie Boo Boo Child

Vinnie Boo Boo Child?

 God help me, here we go again.  The parents and their obsession with reality television.

First of all lets take a moment to reflect on the TV shows that stand out:

Mommy loves Big Brother, I don’t mind.  It’s my favorite.
We have the Dance Moms, that woman scares me.
Survivor is fun, until mom sees a snake.
Amazing Race the parents think they can be on the show and they love to watch.   I hate to be the bearer of bad news.  But, lets face you have to be in shape.
Then you have the Housewives.  New York, New Jersey, Orange County, and Beverly Hills are the favorites.  For the record I want to say even though he is cute that dog Jiggy is getting far too much press when I am the one that should have it.  SO annoying.
Now more recently Mom was flipping through the channels and came across  Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. 
What the *$&%?  I have to have the parents talk to me like they are talking to an idiot?
The only thing I have in common with that child is I have a pet pig too.
Honey Boo Boo has Glitzy and I have Freddie.

My music pick of the day is Sweet Child O' Mine.  Such a great song.  Enjoy!
