cody bear’s friends

i almost forgot…i need some words!  my sister is out of town, so neither she nor her cat will be posting words, i’m relying on you guys for words for tomorrows mad libs.  “what’s this?” you ask you submit words and i put them in a piece and we get something akin to this and this.

we need

7 nouns

7 verbs

5 adverbs

7 adjectives

1 boys name

1 girls name

1 location

1 container/vessel

thanks!

hi everyone!  i hope you go view this video on a fellow blogger’s site.  it will make your day!

alex gets “sleepy paws” and she is the cutest girl you’ll see today!

go here.

i’ve watched it several times already, and i have to say, it is the first youtube video that has ever caught cody bear’s ear?

enjoy!

this is what he looks like when he worries i will forget to feed him before i leave for work….

i’ve never forgotten, mind you, but still…..he worries.

and upon hearing the news of checkers’ incarceration….

it’s a shout out.  (a tongue out) like pouring out his 40, only the canine version.

he knew you were innocent all along, man.

i’ve been asked when words can be turned in, so send ‘em in!

if you’re new to mad lib thursday, i gather words from you guys in the comments of this post, then thursday, while my boss isn’t looking, i log onto wordpress and do the mad libs.  here are some good ones from the past: here, here and here

so we will need:

8 nouns

7 verbs

6 adjectives

6 adverbs

1 location

1 container

1 girls name

1 boys name

1 wild card - any word of any type you want

thanks!  see you back here tomorrow!

so, i don’t get many hits to either of my blogs, compared to other blogs.  typically i get very VERY few hits to dog daily photo.  around 30 to 60.  but last week i had three days in a row that were around 100. “odd” i thought.

then back down to a few hits. THENNNNN, on monday i had THIS POST!  a picture of cody bear jumping….and it got 309 hits.  please tell me why…someone…please.  i don’t get it.  and now my stats page is so depressing because the graphic, even if i get like 50 hits, will look like one or 2 people stopped by the blog every day now.  because of the HUGE 309.  i realize 300 hits isn’t alot of hits, but it was so weird for my little blog to get that many.  and i think its a glitch and a mistake because hardly anyone left comments and the referrers numbers don’t come near totally that.  any ideas?

i have never gotten that many hits with both blogs combined in a day, so it has to be a mistake!  i mean, sure, cody bear is cute and all. and he was REALLY up there, but sheesh.

dogs are very smart, especially corgis and mandarin collies.  as you will soon see, checkers and cody bear  have great problem solving abilities and natural survival skills.  to “ruff” it, so to speak…

after recovering from their trip to la casa blanca, they decided it was time to expand their life experience, challenge their mettle, conquer the great outdoors.  i was honored to be invited along, …until i realized ….they were only using me to put the tent up!….

…. and to open their canned goods and build a fire.

here’s what they already knew about camping:

the outdoors is pretty and wildly dangerous, there are bears, no electricity, lots of trees, trail mix is often involved, and …. you are required to eat warm, mushy marshmallows.

here’s what they learned:

melty marshmallows stick to paws and face fur. when you REALLY REALLY have to go to the bathroom in a hurry and you don’t have thumbs….it is darn near impossible to unzip the tent flap.  get claws trimmed before camping, so as not to pop air mattress.  when packing for camping trip, don’t choose the squeaky dog toy over the compass or snow shoes.

they truly discovered why people find camping so amazing.  there are soooo many trees to pee on, soooo many squirrels to chase.  there are no garbage men around and you get to leave the stress of the big city behind.

checkers did admit, however, that it was tough being away from his blog for so long.

ultimately, they sent me packing.   checkers isn’t used to my snoring, so i got kicked out of the tent and was forced to hike through the wilderness the entire lonely 25 feet back to my bedroom.

well, that’s it for the latest “on the road with cody bear and checkers.” i sure hope they invite me along again.  everything is more enjoyable with a dog, especially these two!

well, i better get back to picking the burrs out of cody bear’s furry gaucho pants…

hi everyone!  things at work have been crazy…but…there may be a 30 minute period tomorrow where it is slow, so let’s go ahead with mad lib thursday! (just don’t get mad if it takes me longer to post them)

if you’re new to mad lib thursday, here’s how the hedgehogs play down.  excuse me, i mean here’s how the shit plays out.  see??? its starting already….

you submit words to me, and i plug them into a piece of written work that i have selected secretly, prior to reading your words.  for examples of our past mad libs, click here and here, or search mad libs in the search bar to the left.

we need from each of you:

8 nouns

8 verbs

6 adjectives

5 adverbs

1 girls name

1 boys name

2 locations

1 vessel/container

and NEW: 1 wild card. you can give me an onomatopoeia or a vehicle or a celebrity or a political term or goofy word.  anything, lets just keep it clean…

see you tomorrow for MAD LIB THURSDAY!!!
