The VonHoledigger's are on vacation and will return with  exciting stories and our deep thoughts Saturday the 13th.

Snoopy came to us this day in history...

On this day, 62 years ago,  my hero Snoopy  made his first appearance in the strip Peanuts.
Snoopy is neurotic like me, 
He  loves root beer and pizza, hates coconut candy, gets claustrophobia in tall weeds, and is deathly afraid of icicles dangling over his doghouse.
If I had a doghouse, I would be afraid too.
Just like me Two things Snoopy dislikes are listening to balloons being squeezed and cats.
My dislike for cats is serious, I have a real revulsion for the feline.
Snoopy has Woodstock and I have the VonHolediggers.
If you ask me, Snoopy and I even look alike.
I know he is a Beagle and I am a Spaniel.  But together our breed is an American.
I love you Snoopy!

P.S .  The video is my favorite Snoopy video, I know a bit early for Christmas.  But, so enjoyable...

Calling all Hunters to be Safe this hunting Season

The Springer Collection is always making fun of me for my lack of security, I am here to share with you a lack of their hunting skills.  English Springer Spaniels are known for being bird dogs.  Not this collection!
This morning one of the locals was shooting off their gun, which caused  Henry, Vinnie and Danny to run to mommy shaking in their fur.  So embarrassing for them. 
The picture you see above is two little black and white Spaniels with a beautiful pheasant.  I found the above picture off the internet to share with what a true Spaniel should look like.
Instead I have this to look at:

The only hunting they do is for a nap or Vinnie hunts for Mommy to come home.  He will lie on the bed for hours just looking for her.
So sad for such a big mouth bully.  He's a real Momma's Boy.
We are so happy for Fall.  We ask all hunters to be safe and make sure that their dogs are just as safe.  Maybe, put the puppy in a little orange vest.

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…

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!
