via Facebook... My cat has been searching, digging, and moving the sand in the litter box for a solid ten minutes. There better be a castle after all that time and noise!

via Facebook... We have huge, booming thunderstorms directly overhead. Mac is hiding in his crate, wearing his Thundershirt. Misha is curled in my lap, shaking. Timber is busy barking at whatever keeps banging on the house and growling to make it go away. PIRATES v. NATURE!

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... And, after no sleep, #doma and #prop8.... ...then, a celebratory nap, hopefully.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Also, now I have the agita. I'm too old for this nail biting tension of HOURS! I'm feeling veklempt, talk amongst yourselves...
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Now maybe I can finally sleep. Or not. I ran/walked/limped for over seven hours when I did my marathon. But I got to pee, drink water, and I even sat in a porta-potty and had me a little cry. To stand for 13 hours like that, it's a physical feat, not just a mental one. Wendy Davis must be exhausted and hurting and feeling so incredible. I think I'll send her my marathon medal, she earned it...
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Okay, my head hurts and my heart is heavy. Also, this is why I'm a feminist. Think there is no war on women? Think again. But guess what? We know how to fight back.

via Facebook... What I Did This Week, by Timber. I am working hard on properly training Soft Lady to my high Pirate standards. For my siblings out there, and any puppies trying to train a human, here is some advice... You have psychic powers, use them. Your stare can make humans move. Also woolies, cats, small human puppies, hoppities, birds, airplanes that are flying over your yard, and EBIL school buses. A head tilt needs to be used wisely. With great power comes great responsibility. Don't waste them on dry Milk Bones, save them for liver treats and special toys. I am working on my Tervie Mind Meld. Mornings are best, when Soft Lady is in bed. I slam my forehead against hers and then fall on top of her. While our minds are squished together I try and implant ideas in her head... "extra treats for Timber" or "MORE BALL THROWING!". At first I thought that the harder I slammed my head into Soft Lady's the stronger the meld, but that didn't quite work out...there is a point where she just yelps and tells me to KNOCK IT OFF RIGHT NOW SO HELP ME... Also, I have found a way to get Soft Lady up no matter how deeply asleep she is. I just start licking her arm pits. She will ALWAYS wake up and look at me, and usually mumbles something about "I did ask for a smart dog, didn't I?" and then I can cuddle in and she will rub my belly or my head. Also, a poke in the eye will wake her, but that is for when I need her to take me outside RIGHT NOW.

via Facebook... Okay...something a guy actually wrote on a post (he was actually trying to soften something I said and "explain" it as...wait for it...me reacting to an emotional charged issue. I know.) "I know you guys shouldn't be attacking each other like this. I actually stopped writing about rape issues because female feminists couldn't stop attacking me for being on their side but not echoing what they wanted me to say exactly. I have no idea how to solve that cultural issue either." *face palm and head desk* Obliviousness, it slays me.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... What I learned today, by Timber. Soft Lady was sleeping in, and The Big Man tried to LOCK ME AWAY with her! (Now, I would have stayed in there with her anyway, but Big Man doesn't get to make THAT decision, no siree! Pirates do not submit! ARR!) So I opened the gate. He closed the gate. I opened the gate. He closed the gate. I opened the gate. He closed the gate. I opened the gate. He closed the gate. I opened the gate... Finally Soft Lady said "Guess I better get up!" Humans are SO HARD to train!

via Facebook... So we know Mac freaks in thunderstorms...he is in a quiet room with blackout curtains and a tv on, wearing his thunderbird and cuddling under the covers with Steve. However the bond were very loud and close, and Misha...who usually doesn't mind...crawled into my lap for comfort. Timber checked on her a few times and then he settled in close by, in case she needs him. The cats, as expected, don't care one way or the other.

via Facebook... Timber here with an important update... I have learned things recently... I learned that the toads should be left alone, mostly because they taste bad. And that a gift of a baby bunny is not well received. I was confused, but when Soft Lady put out the bun in the nest I got it....we should hunt the bigger bunbuns!....but those buns leave yummy treats in the yard, so they are my friends. It's a dilemma. Also, I think I'm like this agility thing Soft Lady wants us to do. The poles I go through are fun....but I am suspicious. I've noticed those poles slowly getting closer. I almost have to weave my body through. It's fun, plus there is a tennis ball at the end. And Soft Lady smiles which makes my tail do happily wags. George cat has been avoiding me. I pinned him down the other day do I could clean his ears and the yowling! Soft Lady and I started going on walks. Not the meandering around kind, but serious shoes (that look SO TASTY!) And a running harness for me. Soft Lady says we will train slowly and build up endurance, this way we don't get hurt. I don't know how to break it to her....her run is a speedy walk for me. But I will help pull her up hills and even carry her home if needed and, of course, keep her safe, for I am A PIRATE PUP, ARRF! And we be looking out for our own. Grrrrr. There are many dangers...bicycles and jog strollers and screaming kids that smell like poop. Seems cleaner for the kids to go in the yard like we do. Hey, the kids could help me mark areas and leave their own pee mail! I'd have to translate it, of course, for a small fee of some cooked liver or strong cheese... And the best trick I learned is to wake up Soft Lady as she's getting comfy in bed and drag her out side to play. She is all foggy and funny...I love my Soft Lady. She scritches my belly and admired my FLOOF and kisses my snout and tells me how wonderful I am. I groom her hair. It makes her laugh. I BOL when she giggles :) Also, a toy came in, but Soft Lady says it's part of a surprise....I can only sit with a wagging tail for so long! So that's my weekend! Hope yours was filed with as much cuddling and liberty treats as mine was!

via Facebook... I am so tired. I didn't think it was possible to be this tired and be awake. But I am also hungry. But too tired to get something. Too hungry to nap, too tired to eat. I need to train Timber to fetch food....
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... A few things: Fallout 3 is the BOMB! Loving it! Timber is weaving through poles and my legs. Plus he takes treats from my mouth. And kisses. He is awesome! I love him. I think we are going to try push ball next! That is all, tune in tomorrow for more news.

via Facebook... To sleep, perchance to dream. I've had very involved and vivid dreams the past few nights, which always had me waking up tired. Ashley, you were in one. We joined the NCIS team, went undercover, and had many adventures. You and Ziva kicked major ass. Here is hoping I have more restful dreams....

via Facebook... Things I learned on my walk today, by Timber Mailboxes are not to be marked. I should also try and avoid marking Misha when she's marking, but sometimes I get confused with one leg up and everything. Misha doesn't mind, so I don't know why Soft Lady was laughing. Ditches, even dried, have snakes and turtles that bite! They are Not For Dogs. I think I could take them, but Soft Lady worries. There is such a thing as a Jog Stroller. There are EBIL and should be barked at non-stop until they scurry out of sight. Misha explained that, when pooping on a walk, one should spread out their poop in two or even three sets. I need to work on this. That is all.
