The Cookie Jar

Cause there can never be enough Niku videos. Opie is in this one too. I was trying to take pictures of some wrapped gifts for a contest on Menewsha, because I am a dork, but the dogs wanted to play and ended up bounced all over my photoshoot.



There you have it. A dose of cuteness to send you into 2011. Happy New Year guys!

Scutter emerges from the dangerous under the bed caves and makes her way through the fallen cover obstacles only to stand triumphant before them. As her partner, Niku, joins her, they both activate their most powerful weapon! Puppy Dog Eyes! They want one thing and one thing only! Dinner!

XD I love watching Scutter crawl out from under the bed. Not only is she part pig, but it appears that she's part mole as well. So I have a mole pig dog!

The heroic background music is "Kibou No Hoshi O Mezashite" from the anime Megami Kouhosei aka Pilot Candidate.

Look what I found wandering down my street.

( A puppy! )

I feel like I've been missing out! So, everyone knows about icanhazcheezburger, home of some really silly cat macros, but did you know there's a sister site for dogs? I didn't! It's ihasahotdog and it's lots of silly dog macros. Now I'm going through the archives to look at all the pictures. I even submitted something O_O It's not even Niku! It's Scutter, who has decided that my DDR pad is the perfect place to nap ^_^;; Go vote for her!

No one has come by to pick up the dog. I fed him and gave him water, but he still growls and snaps at me. Niku is completely freaked out. She'll just stand by the door and look out with her dander up and growl. I'm trying to keep her upstairs or in my lap. Scutter's generally, indifferent. She's just annoyed that she can't go in the front yard.

I called Animal Control at 4pm to report the dog and have them come get it. I puttered around on the computer and watched CSI, waiting for them to come and they never did. I called back, but they're closed. Their pre-recorded message says that if it's an emergency situation and then I'd have to call 911. I'm not calling frigging 911, but I want the dog out of the yard now. He's digging up the grass. He's been barking almost constantly all afternoon. Niku can't calm down with him out there. Ugh. What was the point of calling Animal Control if they weren't going to send someone out to pick him up? The temperature's going to drop and it's going to storm tomorrow. *sighs*

I dunno what to do. We fed him again and gave him more water, but we can't really move him. He's too hostile. It's not like I can just let him loose to get rid of him! So he's stuck there and we're stuck listening to him. Where are his owners? Where's animal control? Ugh ugh ugh.

Update: It's 7pm now and the dog has escaped. Or rather, it looks like someone let him go. The dog was not wearing a collar, he just had a chain clipped onto his neck and he was dragging the chain around with him, that's how I caught him. Anyway, it held him to whatever he had been tied up to, it stayed with him all day and it kept him tied up for 12 hours in front of my house and now suddenly it lets go? The chain was still on our tree, but the part that had him clipped in the collar was now undone as if someone had opened it...but he's so unfriendly, I don't know how anyone could have gotten close. For a minute, Andrew and I thought his owners might have come to get him. Then the dog comes prancing down the street. We can't exactly chase after him and catch him since he's so mean. Since Animal Control never came out we're sort of out of options. =/

Update Part 2: At 8:45pm, the animal control officer showed up. That's only four hours and 45 minutes after I called them. If they'd just come two hours earlier, they could have had him =/ The officer said they were short handed, so I can't be mad at them for not having enough staff, but I'm still disappointed. She said that if we see him again, to give them a call, but given their response time it's probably not worth it.

I took crappy pictures of my cookies which I shall inflict on you!


Here's the assortment plate. There's Peanut Butter Temptations, Pumpkin Ginger Pillows, Gingerbread, Spritz and Rum balls ^___^ I haven't rolled out and baked the sugar cookies yet >_> Maybe tomorrow.

The other ones, you can just look at over in my Holiday Gallery. And now, a recipe! Yay! Come find the secret of soft and spicy Pumpkin Ginger Pillows!
