Tanner POO Day!

HELLO this is Tan Torkelson and this Tuesday I would like to bring to you a story about Joe Stains. That dog did some BIG BAD DOG stuff this weekend and I am here to report on it and tell you the story.

When MOM and DAD leave the house they say, TANNER go in your little house...and so I go in here...



That is my house and I go in there because Mom and Dad say that I am NOT GOODEREST when they leave and that I eat stuff. But that is OK I like my little house, it has nice blankets and a nice bed and is JUST mine.

Joey does NOT go in a little house. he goes wherever he wants because he said he is GOOD. BUT NOT this weekend!!




Can you see me? This is me reporting from the TV room.




This is what that room looks like ok?

Well THIS is what it looked like when Mom and Dad came home from that work on Friday!!



OMDOG do you see what Joey DID?!?!? I had to make reenacterated photos because Mom was SO GROSSED out she could not take pictures. Joe made some BIG stains!!! omdog!!!

Then the next day Mom and Dad went out for a while to go see those Christmas lights we showed you yesterday and they came home and saw THIS...



Another STAIN! Joe was SO MAD because it is colderest and wet here in AZ and he totally made a giant STAIN on that floor and you know what is the WORST!!!!!

HE POOPED ON MY LITTLE TOY!!!!!!!!



Remember that pawesome orange guy?? JOEY pooped on him!?!? omdog Mom had to throw it away because she said it smelled TERRIBLE!!

Joey is the badderest dog ever and I cannot believe he STAINED my toy. I think the 1000th post should be ALL mine because I am a GOOD dog and not a BAD dog.

Sunday spreading some Christmas cheer!

Don't worry Tanner managed to destuff that football toy. I think the fact he got to wear my pawesome sweatshirt that my girlfriend Sophie got me helped him. Yesterday Mom and Dad went out and looked at Christmas lights.




They saw lots of fancy displays.




Check it out, there was a beagle in Bethlehem!! Who knew??




Mom wishes Dad would do something like this to our house!




With all that Nebraska stuff, we though this was Wally's house!




That sign says Casa De Huskers!!!

Here are some videos, we hope you like all this Christmas cheer!!








I bet you guys don't get to see many cactus with Christmas lights where you live!!

Finally, Mom and Dad went to a book store and there were Great Pyrenees in there! They were gift wrapping for donations for their rescue group. Mom and Dad slipped them some cash even though they didn't have anything to get wrapped. Those guys are giant fluffy dudes and they need good homes just like us little guys!





We hope you liked all these great Christmas photos and videos!

Getting close to something BIG!!!

Guys, Mom just noticed I am on post 994...can you believe it?! I am nearing ONE THOUSAND posts!! What do you think we should do to celebrate?? I am thinking I should probably have a contest or a give away or ummm? I will think about it and make my 1000th post SPECTACULAR, I promise!

FINALLY we can post about the toy Jake and Fergi sent us...




I was kind of pouting because it is FREEZING in AZ today, so I let Tanner have a go at it.




He went after it!




And he really worked it over...




This is serious, not a tear in it yet!!




I think he is getting MAD at it now!!




I am used to Tanner looking confused, but not by a TOY! Wow Jake and Fergi, you stumped the Doofus!! I will have to have my own turn with it to see what happens. Thanks again Jake and Fergi!

Update from Casa De Stains

Mom is feeling better, she can actually sleep now thanks to that wacky cough syrup she got. Thanks for all the get well wishes from everyone. Tanner has been very vigilant about watching her, so much so he just sort of passes out all over...





I told Mom the best way to feel better is to get off her butt and do something. My less than sympathetic advice landed me smack dab in front of the Christmas tree...




Where I refused to cooperate for the taking of the Holiday Photo.




Nope, sorry, NOT going to look at the camera...




I am outta here...

Needless to say, Mom was persistent and with Dad's help we managed to get some good shots. So if you are part of the exchange, our cards SHOULD go out tomorrow!!

Mom is SICK on Tanner Tuesday!

Mom said I cannot post a lot today because she is SICK. She has Bronco-Itis! I don't even know what THAT MEANS! So I did one google image search so I can see what this bronco is...


OMDOG I know that she cannot have an ITIS for THOSE broncos because she LOVES my Steelers. EVEN THOUGH THEY LOST so I thought she would probably have Steeler-Itis OMDOG. Lets see if I can find other Broncos...


This is a band called Bronco. I do not think this is the kind of music that my Mom likes, but I LOVE THEIR SUITS. I think me and my BFF Graham Riggins Flat Dog should get suits like that because WE ARE SO COOL.


This is the last Bronco I can find and Mom already has a truck so I don't think this is it EITHER.

I dunno how you catch this Bronco-Itis but she has some medicines including some coughing syrup with Co-Dean so she can sleep so I am going to go watch her until she does that OK.

TAN TORKELSON OUT.

Sunday catch up...

I don't know what Mom's problem is lately with keeping up with my blog and all my blogging buddies. Our good friend, and fellow Yankee fan, Petey gave us a super fabulous award on Thanksgiving, which was, oh, a MILLION days ago. Mom is just now posting about it. sheesh. We thank you Petey and would love to give this to ALL of our friends because we really are so thankful for each and every one of you.



Some other things that need to be caught up on is that we are sad to report our uncle does not live with us anymore. He was our super cool roommate and now he is moving to CALIFORNIA! To the beach. Maybe someday we can go there and finally see the ocean, but not go in it because water is REALLY FREAKIN SCARY. So Mom had another room to fill with crap stuff since he has moved.




You all saw the 'fainting' couch that she put in there. I kinda like it actually.




Then she got this cabinet to display some of her favorite Pyrex that she collects, and her bazillion cookbooks.

I like hanging out in there, but the little couch is so small that if I want to hang out with Mom I pretty much HAVE to sit by Tanner. Tanner NEVER leaves her side, its like she has a fat parasite or something. ANYWAY...




Christmas has also sploded at our house.




And yes, we have TWO trees. Mom is a little nutty that way.

So I think that catches you up on what is going on around here. I am kind of upset with the lack of ME in this post, so we will fix that soon. We also have not yet been given the football toy from Jake and Fergi, so video of us destroying that should be coming soon. Hopefully she gives it to me tonight to distract me from my Steelers who are playing without their first or SECOND QB, argh.

Thanksgiving fun times!

I hope you guys all had a GREAT Thanksgiving. We sure did and we are STILL totally tired.

We went to my Gram and Gramps' house and they decided to try and plant some stuff...




I watered the plants and then kicked this stupid mulch stuff all over the yard and patio. Gram was sort of not amused, but I was just trying to help!




Then our human cousin Jameson showed up. She was pretty cool but I was real busy so I didn't spend a lot of time with her.




Our new human cousin was there too, but she just slept a lot. She is SO tiny!!




Tanner loved Jameson. Here she is trying to share her drink with him but that drinky cup didn't work out too well for him.




Of course all cousins were forgotten as soon as the turkey came out of the oven. We got several bites, OMDOG it was so good!




After dinner the Doofus and Jameson were hanging out again. He kept telling me I should really hang out with her more, but like I said, I was busy. I had to stare at the turkey carcass in case it decided to jump off the counter. (Note from Mom - Joey literally sat in the kitchen for an hour and a half staring at the counter.)




Jameson was SUPER in love with Tanner like WOAH.




If I did this to him I would be in SO MUCH trouble! I can't believe what the little guy endured...then I saw this...


Tanner was right, I SHOULD have been hanging out with Jameson. She fed him a million Teddy Grahams!!! Next time, she won't be able to get rid of me if this is how she treats her friends!!

I hope you guys had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for including every single dog and human who reads this blog.
