The VonHolediggers have been having computer difficulty and have not posted anything in a bit.  We are all doing well and happy.  We had a great Thanksgiving and feel very blessed to have great blog friends. 
Don't worry we will be back with more exciting stories...

Happy Veterans Day

Our troops make incredible sacrifices every day.  They leave behind their pets, homes, family and friends to put their lives on the line to defend this great Nation.  Today and everyday the VonHolediggers honor you and thank you for all you do for the United States of America!

Also, we found on History.com this bit of fun trivia:

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as "the Great War." Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars.

Happy Veterans Day!

President Vinnie & The VonHolediggers

President Vinnie Laine VonHoledigger

I, Vinnie Laine VonHoledigger, thank you for voting for me to become your next president of the dog world.  I am completely honored and humbled that I beat out my hero Snoopy.
I would like to thank my family for always supporting and loving me, my friends who voted for me and everyone who believes that the VonHolediggers can change the dog world.
We can do it one paw at a time!
In closing I would like to add that the best part of winning the election is Freddie Mercury has to call me Mr. President!

Grieving for my Parents, this house is crazy!

I am in pure disbelief the way my life has turned out.  I am so embarrassed I wore a towel over my head so my face won’t be shown.  It’s Halloween and we all had to get dressed up.  HOORAY! 
I meant that sarcastically. 
Henry told me to wait for the Christmas Card photo if I thought this went badly. 
Freddie about took out the camera and Vinnie is such a suck-up he wanted to be in every picture.
Wally knew to cooperate because it will go on forever if not.
So all our Blogger friends.  
I am here to say:
Trick or treat, smell our feet, Give us something good to eat.


Happy Halloween!

Splish, splash, I was takin' a bath!

                                          

We are clean.  Our mom decided to give us each a bath before the cold weather hits.  I don’t understand the reasoning behind this?
I will give you a play by play of  how this went.  Mom took a little nap and the next thing I know she has Bogey in the tub, scrubbing him down.  I should of known with the pile of towels on the floor that something was going to happen.
Well I went next because I just know to get it out of the way.
I act like I hate but I really don’t.   I get to smell so good.  We use the Buddy Wash by Cloud Star, it’s a 2 in 1 Shampoo + Conditioner, today’s scent was Lavender & Mint.  It makes me super white and fluffy.
The picture is of Danny and I drying on the big bed.  We knocked all the blankets and pillows out of the way so we could roll and play.  Mommy said she did not mind because it was clean sheet day.
I am wearing the late Tommy’s shower blanket.  It fit him, but the Velcro does not fit around me.  It’s not because I am fat, I am just naturally tall.
Here is the funny part.  Freddie Mercury being the dirty dog he is, won’t let anyone pick him up when it’s bath time so Daddy had to go put his welding gloves on so when he picked up Freddie he could attack the gloves and not dad.  He is such a little pig, let me fill you in on this.  He can’t say he is fluffy because of his fur.  Even when he is wet, he is still chunky.  I laugh so hard at him.  That dog is ridiculous.  
Tonight we are going to sleep good and smell great!

Danny the Pot Stirrer

So it appears I am being blamed for stirring the pot around here.
Rumor has it that the last fight between Henry and Barney was my fault.
Because I am a pot stirrer.  I guess my lifting of the lip or low tone growling
is what causes the others to fight each other.
Listen to this one, I am blamed for Vinnie’s neurotic behavior
because he was calm until I came into the picture.  Can you believe such nonsense.
Vinnie is neurotic because he is a Momma's Boy!
I am just a little fluffy boy who loves to run.
So I can’t help it the others mistaken my moods
and take it upon themselves to fight each other.  Unbelievable!

This is what I have to say:

I am not a naughty boy!

 I would never stir the pot.

I blame George.

Believe what you want  because I know once the fights start,
 you will see me sitting in the corner with my blanket.

VonHoledigger's share their vacation!

Well the VonHoledigger’s are back.  We took a week off for rest and relaxation.
We had our Aunt J. Naughty over for a few days.  We played cards, shopped, ate good food and drank too much beer.
We cleaned closets, where we found lost toys.  We all had a spa day where we had baths and grooming.
Barney escaped his leash and chased all the cats.  Mr. Brave thought he was going to take a kitten down when he squealed like a pig.  The kitten attached himself to his nose and batted at the big guy.  Scaring him all the way home, making whimpering noises.  
The Springer Collection caught  an opossum.  Mommy went to get her camera and by the time she got back it was gone.  It was huge.
The kitten’s each got a new collar, Wilma in pink and Betty in green.  Betty actually is a male.  We told you once they got a name they would never go anywhere.  We still all can’t stand the cats they meow constantly, which  causes us to get into fights and they stink.
We will finish our vacation with a little pizza and watch the Detroit Tiger’s beat the Yankees.
Life is good…
