This is the night of the Wolf's moon.........

.....Yeah....I'm not so narcissistic as to call it Wollf's Moon........
Tonight, the Largest Full Moon, which of course means the most Howl Friendly Moon, of the year............

......And This was the Moon from the Lair last night........


Then again, it was down right Howl-able this morning.........


We, Dragn and I, have a few "Friend" things to do tonight, so we'll have to wait a bit before we celebrate......

I was thinking of taking the Doggehs out back, by the complaining neighbor dude's fence, Howling and barking and sniffing each other's butts.......

M'Lady NIXED that idea, said it wasn't proper decorum.........

Damm, I hate it when she's absolutely Right.......

Good thing for the neighborhood that I got married to her, and......

*She at Least, Considered it........heh*

Happy Wollf Moon, Everbodies! Do me a favor and go out in your back yard and give a Howl...or, if you're too Citified, at least a "yip" or two........

Love to everbodies........
Wollf

Dolphins.......

.....are just plain cool.

Betcha didn't know they did this? Well worth a watch.....



Happy Friday....mebbe I'll put up a musical interlude that I just saw.....hmmm

It's time for a reminder...........

Because we ALL get caught up in the minutia of our Lives......

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students, if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed…

'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - family, children, health, friends, and favorite passions – the things that, if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter - like your job, house, and car.

The sand is everything else --The small stuff.

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' He continued, there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

So...

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.

There will always be time to clean the house and fix the lattice on the deck......

'Take care of the golf balls first --
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented...

The professor smiled.
'I'm glad you asked'........

It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend........'

And Espescially that Person that you Love....don't Ever lose that "thing" that you had whole Courting.....

And Yannow?.......It's Sage advice

So, Listen to Wollf.....help the little ones with their homework with a smile, pet and hug your pets, listen to your Spouse, and let them KNOW that you LOVE them.....

I know I will.....

*although the bottle should have been Miracle Whip.....I Hates Mayonaise......heh*
Wollf

I'm better today.......

....I mean, we can't be "happy" ALL the time, now can we?

And besides.....the "Logic" might ask the question,

Which is better, eternal happiness or a ham sandwich?

It would appear that eternal happiness is better, but is this really the case, or are we short sighted Humans missing the point?

After all, "Nothing is better than eternal happiness", seems to be a Truth......

But then, a Ham and Swiss Sandwich is certainly better than Nothing.

.....So,,,,,,the Logic tells us that a Ham and Swiss Sandwich is actually Better than eternal happiness...........

Right?

Maybe not, but suddenly.....I'm hungry.

Anybody know where the mustard is?
Wollf

.....well, no Post this morning.......

.....Really busy at work, ADD comes in handy with what I do......But...

Been a bit troubled.....as any and all three of my Faithful know, the Lair is a bit of a Menagerie now......

In a former life....i.e., still married to the XP, Animal Friends, Strike That, Family members, were all but Verboten.........

Had a Kitteh, still lives at My/Our house....long Legal story on that slash term, but anything else, espescially Doggehs, were verboten, and or third class Citizens......

Now, on the Happier side of Life, Doggehs, and Kittehs are equal Members of the Family....oh Yuck, you say, Yes, I do awaken at times to Uber Doggens or Ransom or the new Kitteh asleep on our bed......

Uber Always sleeps with Lil'Wolfie....in fact, the She-Cub, Anastasia, slept over the other night, with a Very warm comforter of the canine sort.....heh, said she was Lourved it.....

Oh....where was I? Oh yeah, the little one, Tiberius, has drawn the ire of a neighbor....One neighbor.....he has a tendency, espescially when playing with Uber the Labrador, to "Bark".....oh a big surprise to whom?

Jerk Off neighbor, is whom.......

I asked my other neighbors if they were bothered...answer from three? ...."Um...nope."

So, I'm wondering how to respond to this dwarf's threats about Tiberius........Nope, no possibility of physical threats to the guy, just, I'm wondering, what sort of annoyance he can make with the local Magistrate.......

Aaagh, the "frustration" that Maturity and Logical thinking brings......old days, I'd just kick his sorry little a$$, and send him on his way.....

Dammit......

Dragn went down to the Magistrate and made sure the four legged members of the Family were "licensed" today, warding off the threat of jail time for the beasties......

And that should make me feel better.......but my old 0203, that's Field Intelligence rating says...."Prep More, worry less"........

Gotta make some calls........

By the by.....Tiberius now has a bark control collar.....I hate it, He hates it.....but hairball neighbor? Well, maybe we'll never know.

Any ideas?
Wollf

...For Dammit Woman......

She asked in the comments where Ransom was.....

Ransom is doing fairly well, but is a bit concerned as to his Alpha status at the Lair, what with the new fluff ball addition.

This is pretty much how he greets everyone lately....

Thought I'd give you all an update.......

......remember, a little while back, I announced a new addition to the Lair?

Yup, Tiberius Maximus, the Chihuawox...I changed the breed name, because he's no sissified, ribbon wearing prissy dog...

Well, here's the picture that I posted of his Sire, the real deal, wild Fox.....


And This, right here, is what the scrawny little beast has grown into. The spitting image of dear old dad, except no rodenty looking face. No signs of wildness except the constantly trotting gait, and a fearlessnes that belies his size.....



No snapping, a bit of yipping, usually when playing with Uber.....

Even gets along with the Newest, and LAST addition, another Kitteh, as in baby sized.

Here they are on the couch after a long day of rough and tumble.....Life is Fun at the Lair, believe you me.....



Oh.....what's his name you ask? Well, we have some rather creative names for animal Friends at the lair, but this time we decided to tone it down as he is but a teeny Kitteh.

Meet and greet, and Presenting: Panzer Boom Boom Blitzkrieg Wermacht Schmidt......



We think he might be German....

World's Smallest Political Quiz

So, you think you know where you stand, politically. Think again.

The result from this short test may surprise you and give you some food for thought.

You'll be asked just 10 questions, and then it instantly tells you where you
stand politically. It shows your position as a red dot on a "political map"
so you'll see exactly where you score.

The most interesting thing about the Quiz is that it goes beyond the Democrat, Republican, and Independent.

The Quiz has gotten a lot of praise. The Washington Post said it has "gained
respect as a valid measure of a person's political leanings.

"The Fraser Institute said it's "a fast, fun, and accurate assessment of a person's overall political views." Suite University said it is the "most concise and accurate political quiz out there."

.....So a "What are they Doing Now?".....

....Segment.......and this one for my Lovely Spousal Unit M'Lady Dragn....her favorite sporting event......

....But Hershel Walker? The Bobsledder?....well he did "something" before that....

MIAMI LAKES, Fla. (AP)
Even Herschel Walker's mother apparently isn't too keen on her son's latest competitive venture.

"She's been praying that they wouldn't find an opponent for me," the former Heisman Trophy winner and mixed martial arts novice said with a broad smile. "Even though she wants me to do it, she's been praying that they don't find me an opponent."

So much for divine intervention.

Walker's MMA debut was finalized Tuesday when Greg Nagy was announced as his opponent for the Strikeforce card to be contested Jan. 30 at the Florida Panthers' arena in Sunrise, Fla.

At an age -- 47 -- when most NFL players have long walked away from that violent sport, Walker is 2 1/2 weeks away from entering a realm defined by armbars, neck cranks, choke holds and tapouts.

"MMA is the No. 1 sport out there for me," said Walker, whose self-challenges previously have found him doing Olympic bobsled and even ballet. "I love competition; I don't want to lose at anything. I'm a little bit older, but I love competition."

Well, good luck with that, ol' son.......

VIA..... FOX NEWS

SRSLY, Hershell Walker?

...Wollf simply likes this......

Dear Mr. President,

Please find below my suggestion for fixing America's economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the "Patriotic Retirement Plan":


There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.

It can't get any easier than that!!

P. S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes....

Mr. President, while you're at it, make Congress retire on Social Security and Medicare. I'll bet both programs would be fixed pronto!

Little thoughts from all over.......

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

Garden Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it was a valuable plant.

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?

In the 60’s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

Wouldn’t it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply press ‘Ctr- Alt- Delete’ and start all over?

Brain cells come and brain cells go, but fat cells live forever.

If raising children was going to be easy, it never would have started with something called ‘labor!’

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, ‘I think I’ll squeeze these dangly things here and drink whatever comes out?’

Who was the first person to say, ‘See that chicken there? I’m gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its butt.’

Al Gore is an idiot and global warming is fake........

Snitched from MCPO Airdale and his My Face...or something.....

Google Search "Al Gore is..."...



Made me laugh out loud......try it yourself.

Oh, by the way, I got a new Computer...a Dell this time, 2.5 Gigs of RAM and 400 Memory, all in a Laptop for $479.00 plus tax.....

Now you're gonna get more out of this lazy old Lupine, I can finally write again, instead of mooshing everthing together...

Yay for Wollf.

Activists Missing After Declaring “War on Leather” at Motorcycle Rally

At GlossyNews.......

Posted on January 07, 2010.
Posted by Fuzzy Duffy


Johnstown, PA (GlossyNews) – Local and state police scoured the hills outside rural Johnstown, Pennsylvania, after reports of three animal rights activists going missing after attempting to protest the wearing of leather at a large motorcycle gang rally this weekend. Two others, previously reported missing, were discovered by fast food workers “duct taped inside several fast food restaurant dumpsters,” according to police officials.

“Something just went wrong,” said a still visibly shaken organizer of the protest. “Something just went horribly, horribly, wrong.”

The organizer said a group of concerned animal rights activist groups, “growing tired of throwing fake blood and shouting profanities at older women wearing leather or fur coats,” decided to protest the annual motorcycle club event “in a hope to show them our outrage at their wanton use of leather in their clothing and motor bike seats.”

“In fact,” said the organizer, “motorcycle gangs are one of the biggest abusers of wearing leather, and we decided it was high time that we let them know that we disagree with them using it…ergo, they should stop.”

According to witnesses, protesters arrived at the event in a vintage 1960’s era Volkswagen van and began to pelt the gang members with balloons filled with red colored water, simulating blood, and shouting “you’re murderers” to passers by.

This, evidently, is when the brouhaha began.

“They peed on me!!!” charged one activist.

“They grabbed me, said I looked like I was French, started calling me ‘La Trene’, and duct taped me to a tree so they could pee on me all day!”

“I…I was trying to show my outrage at a man with a heavy leather jacket, and he…he didn’t even care. I called him a murderer, and all he said was, ‘You can’t prove that.’

Next thing I know he forced me to ride on the back of his motorcycle all day, and would not let me off, because his girl friend was out of town and I was almost a woman.”

Still others claimed they were forced to eat hamburgers and hot dogs under duress. Those who resisted were allegedly held down while several bikers “farted on their heads.”

Police officials declined comments on any leads or arrests due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, however, organizers for the motorcycle club rally expressed “surprise” at the allegations.

“That’s preposterous,” said one high-ranking member of the biker organizing committee.

“We were having a party, and these people showed up and were very rude to us. They threw things at us, called us names, and tried to ruin the entire event. So, what did we do?

We invited them to the party! What could be more friendly than that? You know, just because we are all members of motorcycle clubs does not mean we do not care about inclusiveness.

Personally, I think it shows a lack of character for them to be saying such nasty things about us after we bent over backwards to make them feel welcome.”

When confronted with the allegations of force-feeding the activists meat, using them as ad hoc latrines, leaving them incapacitated in fast food restaurant dumpsters, and ‘farting on their heads,’ the organizer declined to comment in detail.

“That’s just our secret handshake,” assured the organizer

Ok......fake news, I'm sure, but the images I got made me almost spit my coffee....

A much younger Harry Reid explaining that paying taxes is voluntary.....

I can Sooo see this happening around the Lair, what with

How to dispose of the Christmas Tree?



Just make sure Mom's not around.....
Wollf

....Oh My Goodness......

.....Is being challenged......

You see, M'Lady had a dentist appointment, and I arrived home at the Lair about 1700 hours to find........

.....a Killing Field.

....srsly.....I knew there was a problem when I opened the garage door and heard Ransom, (the Kitteh), Meowing from INSIDE the Lair.......

I entered the den, (that means house), to a family room full of feathers....LOTS of feathers.......

The Kitteh had somehow snuck back into the house, and was alone and unimpeded from his wild nature with Five Parakeets.......all day.

Smart Kitteh, he uses the toilet for his "business".....remember?

Well, seems that smarts, a Kitteh alone, and Parakeets.......means murder, as in the first degree, premeditated, long awaited, and quite possibly preordained.....

I'm talking about feathers Everywhere.....aaaaagh, I HAD to get it cleaned up before M'Lady Dragn got home.....two cadavers in the big cage, one under the buffet, and I couldn't find the last two......

Thought they might have escaped......nope, let Uber in, by the way a Very upset Dog, and directed him to "Find the Babies".....which he promptly did.....under the Fridge....

Ten hours, Kitteh alone plus Five Budgies in a big, supposedly secure cage equals....

.....Well, let's just say that we are currently Birdlesss....

Dammit. I'm pi$$ed at that Kitteh, but at the same time, I understand from years of experience, that he did Exactly what Kittehs do.....they are cold blooded Killers...housecats, tigers, Llions.....no difference....only a tiny space away from wild.....

So...can't blame him, heck, can't blame Tiberius the half Fox dog....oh, when I retrieved the birds from under the Fridge, he grabbed one and ran off with it, under our bed and started chomping....yuck.

I vacuumed all the feathers, removed all the "you know what", and had the Lair presentable for M'Lady when she returned from the eeeeeevil dentist....it's what I do.....

Am I sad? D'oh, of course, but it looks as though I am now in the market for another Birdie, got a big beautiful cage and all....no sense wasting it, and M'Lady really likes them.......

But the Kitteh......hmmmmm

Anybody got a Red Tailed Hawk, or a Golden Eagle?

Teach him a lesson, I might think......howzabout a Great Barn Owl?


*Okay.....Maybe not.

Crap, oh just Crap.
Talk later,
