Bogey shares his feelings of vacation with Neanderthal Mutts

Vinnie wants to go on vacation but at this point and time I think I would be too embarrassed to drive on a bus with the Neanderthal  mutts.
Let me tell you how it will go down:
Barney will hang out the window slobbering and barking at any cat that walks by.  He also has a strong dislike for rednecks.
Putter thinks he is Barney’s assistant and lately has this obsession with biting him in the butt when Barney barks at the above.
Freeway Freida will be a show off strutting her tail around.  She is so into herself !
Wally is bored with all of us so he will probably listen to his Walkman and hang out with the Springer Collection so he can be by mommy.
Freddie Mercury is such a slob he will wander the bus looking for any treats that have fell on the floor.  He is so odd if you look at him funny he does this odd shake, he is so neurotic.
Henry, Vinnie, and Danny aka The Springer Collection are such an embarrassment depending on their mood or if mom is around they will act out of control.  We went Downtown the other day and what a disaster.  They did not like the man with a cane,  kid with an ice cream cone, lady with big hair, teenager walking his dog, old lady walking across the street, and the list goes on.  You get the point.  Daddy says they don’t act like that when mom is not in the car.  It’s like they think they are protecting her.  When they are really making her nervous with their shenanigans.
George, does not care.  He acts stoned all of the time.  Nothing bothers him.  He just goes room to room with a smile on his face.  I definitely want some of what he’s on.  Must be some good stuff.
I will let you know how this all plays out…

Barney's thoughts on security and The Marshall Tucker Band

There you are? 
Wally thinks he had it bad growing up with being called a Detroit Special when someone asks what breed he is.
How about this Wally,  Barnado Birk!  That is my real name.  However, I have daddy hovering around me saying, There you are, like I can not hear and mommy saying kisses every time I tried to show any type of aggressive behavior.
I am getting sick and tired of the Springer Collection making fun of me because of my lack of household security.  I have been raised to be sensitive.
I really do think my name is There You Are and I should kiss everyone.  I am a good looking stallion,
a real ladies man.  That is why my siblings are so jealous of me.
They want to pick on my lack of household security.  I was never told I was to watch the front yard too.
All I know, is that  I got rid of Wilma and chased her up a tree.   I can’t help it she relocated  to the front!

P.S I would like to pay respects to the loss of guitarist Stuart Swanlund of The Marshall Tucker Band, there music keeps me going during the dogs days of Summer when a dog like me is trying to secure the property.   With that I say, thank you. RIP!

On the road again...

The VonHoledigger Tour Bus

My ride with just Mommy!

So bored, ready for a vacation!

The VonHolediggers need to go on vacation.  We are exhausted from our surroundings.  The every day life of Summer is mundane.  We need to perk ourselves up, we need a  bit of excitement.

I tried to convince mom to get a Vespa and the two of us can leave everyone at home and go to the beach.  She said she would miss daddy and the other babies too much. 
I guess they have to come.  So, I have been searching the internet for a bus that we can travel on.  If you ever watched 19 kids and Counting, you would see they travel on a bus.  So why can’t we?  I would even put the VonHoledigger  name on the bus, so people could see how cool we are.
I was looking at the bluebird buses but I fell in love with this Mini Bird, so cute.  We each can have our own seats and we can travel.  Maybe, we can get a custom crate made for the top of the bus for Freddie so I don’t have to look at him.  Sounds like a wonderful plan.  We can tow the Vespa so  I can go on mini trips with momma and take breaks from everyone.  I will get my Doggles back from Putter and I once again will sing Born Free.  Life is good!

Henry is disappointed in Snoop Lion

fe·line
[fee-lahyn]  adjective 1. belonging or pertaining to the cat family, Felidae. 2. catlike; characteristic of animals of the cat family: a feline tread. 3. sly, stealthy, or treacherous.

Can you believe that Snoop Dogg changed his name to Snoop Lion, Why?
I am not a fan of cats or never will be.  I find them stinky, useless, and  annoying. 
My brother Barney who thinks he is security is so pitiful at his job that the cats camp out in the front yard.
I am going to share a view of one sunbathing , this is taken from the bedroom window.  The black one whom the parents started calling Wilma just looks at the house and meows.  The fact that the parents named the cats makes it worst because that is how it all starts.  Before you know it I am going to have to share the sofa with a feline.
I am convinced they know what they are doing.  They potty in the bushes, strut their stuff in front of the windows, and talk constantly.
The only cat I like is Garfield.  He is cute and funny.
I am not going to tolerate this I am going to go out that front door and let them know who the boss is in this house.
As far as Snoop Lion is concerned.  Hopefully, he will come to his senses and realize how silly it sounds and go back to Snoop Dogg!

P.S.  The last picture I am going to share with you is the lack of  security we have.  Barney chased Wilma up the tree in January and Wilma who was so shaken and scared just moved to the front yard.  Way to go Barney, way to take care of a situation.

Wally talks about the 2012 Olympics

Who doesn’t like the Olympics?   In my mind I am a retired Olympian who won gold in wrestling.  Back in the day I could take any  dog down.  I was not only good looking but strong. 
Today as I ponder on the VonHolediggers I see a bunch of lazy schmucks  who are good for nothing.
There is a few that could have potential :
Vinnie could be a diver because he loves to dive for that imaginary duck he sees in the pool.  Henry is an excellent baseball player , but they dropped baseball after the 2008 Olympics.   Danny could win most of the track and field events.  He is an excellent runner.  The only problem with the three of them is they are momma’s boys who won’t leave mom’s side to do anything.
Now there is Barney who could be a great weightlifter  but he’s not motivated to do anything but chase cats.  Maybe, fencing because he loves to guard that fence line.   I don’t think that’s’ the kind of fencing they are looking for?  Freddie Mercury who was once a long distance runner now you can’t get him off the sofa to do anything but reflect on the day when he survived the elements and ran the neighborhood.  Plus, he’s up a good fifteen pounds.  Unbelievable!
Bogey and George have never been into sports.  Putter could be a synchronized swimmer because he loves to wear his Doggles.
Sissy says she would compete in beach volleyball  because of the hot men without shirts watching her .  Plus, she  says she would look hot in her bikini.  I don’t have the nerve to tell her she is a bit too old her for bikini.  She still bosses me around and would beat me up!
The Olympics are tradition and we enjoy watching them and dreaming .  Feeling pride for the people who win and admiration for the athletes who have made it to this extreme level.
Enjoy, watching the 2012 Olympics!

Little Bird in the house!

The other night we were getting ready to go to bed when Vinnie spotted a bird flying in the kitchen.  It was a little bird but now we are all on alert trying to catch the bird on the ceiling.
 Daddy tries to contain us and the bird flew down the hallway into the bedroom.  He was all over the place, the parents shut the door so we could not knock down everything in sight to get to the bird. It was a riot and a lot of naughty language.
Barney was in bed and he now thinks he’s an international hunter growling at the little bird flying around the room.  It's bad enough he thinks he's the household security. He would not listen and it took dad forever to get Barney out of the room.  Mom was helping us get a picture of little bird for our blog and daddy was getting frustrated because little bird did not fly out the window and he kept charging the parental units. Again, naughty language. It was so funny.  Finally, little bird figured it out and flew out of the window. 

I was thinking why did little bird not get in trouble for going potty all over the house and the parents who clearly spoke naughty talk, did not have a time out.  It seems like a double standard to me.  I was just wondering?

Freddie Mercury caught working on his fitness!

BEEP BEEP  BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

Freddie Mercury was spotted chasing a cat across the yard.  He only had to stop midway to take a breather.   

At least he was working on his fitness!
