Ice Blanket-Wonderful Invention

Mommy brought home a product that this dog truly loves. It is called an ice blanket, and when it comes out of the freezer, it makes a dog feel like he is spending a day in Alaska. I'm sure there are some dogs who won't appreciate the cold, but if a dog is a Siberian Husky, like myself, cold is something we love. Mother Nature is not being very cooperative with the weather now. It isn't like those lovely days in January when there is snow on the ground, and a dog can get cold just by stepping outside. Now the temperatures have gotten hot and I'm not a fan. Sure, I put up with heat, and I always spend a lot of time thanking that wonderful human who invented central air conditioning, but it just is not like a wonderful day in January. The ice blanket was meant for ice chests and coolers, but Mommy puts in in the freezer and when it gets super cold, she lays it on me while I am resting, and I LOVE the feel of the ice. I think it is a touch of heaven right here on Earth. It is supposed to be non toxic, but Mommy only puts it on me when she is around just in case I decide to eat it and it isn't non toxic.

I saw in the news that a fellow dog, Snoop Dogg, is President of the Serious Pimp clothing line. It is good to see a fellow dog do well. Most dogs who are successful usually have to turn to show business--like DJ and Cody who played Demon in Snow Dogs. Daddy had to have a blue eyed husky who looked like Demon after he saw Snow Dogs which is how I came to live with my humans so I have to say that I am so grateful Disney made that movie. However, a dog does like to have more career choices than being a movie star. I think that opens the door for dogs like myself to be taken more seriously in the world of business. Sure, show business is great, but not all dogs want to chase a chuckwagon through the kitchen. Some of us have bigger plans.

I hope everyone had a nice holiday, and before I conclude this blog, I have a few important things to share with my readers: arf, bark, howl, yap, yap, arf. Yes, it is nice that the humans can't understand dog.

Are They Really Monkees?

I was watching some old television shows the other day, and one of those shows was called The Monkees. The Monkees were a group of musicians/singers who entertained the humans in the 1960's. I have to admit I was a bit confused by the television show. First, one of the lead singers was a sea creature named Davy Jones. This is the guy who wanted Capt. Jack Sparrow's soul in the movie, Pirates of the Carribean, At Worlds End. In the television show, he didn't seem like a scary character at all. Maybe he is only scary if he is in the water. They didn't show his locker anywhere so maybe he got it stolen and that is why he was so annoyed in the movie. Mickey Dolenz seemed human enough, but he was in a circus television show when he was a child, and this dog isn't old enough to have seen the show so I really don't know if he played a human or an animal. Those Hollywood make-up artists are very good at their jobs. I did notice that Michael Nesmith had quite an obsession with prairie chickens, prairie dogs, or prairie hamsters--it is hard to remember exactly which kind of prairie animal he liked so much. Peter Tork was actually Peter Fork which makes a dog wonder if maybe he was upset that he was a fork and not one of those new spork inventions.

Speaking of inventions, Mommy bought me an ice blanket and I love it. She put it in the freezer and when it froze, she put it over me like a blanket. Normally I hate blankets, but that one reminded me of a wonderful, cold winter day in Alaska. Finally, a human has invented something practical--or was it invented by a dog. My money is on the dog.
