yesterday.... pink and yellow.... After finding the low blues and upper greens the night before, Mannie's liver decided he needed some attention too, so we sent the day on the "other floors".... Paws crossed that Mannie can find the blues again today. Right Mannie? It is so much more fun on the blue floor! and the green - well all there all cool stuff happens on the green floor. What'd'ya think? Work for you? Lubs ya big guy - Think blue, think green, OK? cat_pet_icon So far this morning.... so good!

All is well in MannieLand. Our weather has been a bit unreal... Yesterday we had such strong winds - everything was blowing everywhere, including Mannie. :shock: :shock: If it wasn't so funny I'd been seriously worried bout the boy. He wanted out so bad,.... I mean after all, there were a few patches of sun! there were rays to be had! So he'd sit out there, on the deck, face into the winds, trying to remain seated. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: The wind had his whiskers pushed way back, his ears were pushed way back, his eyes were such tiny little squints, and his fur was well.... blowing everywhere. He remained steadfast, and got his few rays. O.M.G. :shock: :? :roll: We had a great test feed shoot this morning: lots of purrs and head rubs from Mannie. Breffis was consumed with gusto - still and always at warp speed, clean plate club status maintained, the auto feeder continues to be used, Elsa still tries to raid his auto feeder, I still intercept. Normalcy in MannieLand.

Have a great day everyone! I am off once again to the auto shop - this time to have the windshield replaced. All the freezing rains and snow and ice took its toll... I have a crack that runs from one end to the other, so.... gotta get it replaced before the wonderful folks in uniform give me a ticket. :shock: :roll:

Hey everybody!!! WE ARE OFF TO THE BIG CITY!! NYC!!! Ice skating at Rockefeller center, and hot dogs in central park and of course: RUSTY! I am so excited!!!!! I gots the bus all prepped and ready to go - food too, and beverages. Let's roll - off to the Big Apple! ~~ Mannie

Below is a video of Nicholas - I thought maybe those of you who don't have FaceBook, were all of his stuff is posted, would like to see the little guy in action. This was taken at the Snoqualmie River, at his favorite spot there. He so loves the rivers....

Re: 1/30 Mannie AMPS 179 -- DGS Video

Morning Michelle and what a nice blue for Mannie today. Really sweet video of Nicholas and so nice of you to post here, as I don't get over to FB. I have an account and read what's going on with my nieces but haven't gotten in full speed yet. I'm still learning my digital camera. :lol: Then next FB! Nicholas is having so much fun exploring, and I see what you mean by holding his pants to prevent him from exploring even further in the water. Just wait til summer as I think we have a quick learner with olympic swimming. Have a wonderful day, and I bet Mannie flashes some greens, too!

Mannie, great with NYC, Rusty and ice skating. I was sick yesterday but am more than ready to make up for it today. Bring on the hot dogs. I'll be at the curb, Maggie

Re: 1/30 Mannie AMPS 179 -- DGS Video

Nice blue start Mannie! Mr Liver seems to have calmed back down again. Funny on the wind. I can just see it. It has been super windy here too, but that is normal for us.

Good luck at the auto shop. Windshields are always a good thing to get fixed. Those blue uniform guys don't like it when they are cracked.

Love love love the video. When I got to Norman this weekend, Mason asked if there were any new videos of Nicholas. Mason has such a soft spot for little boys and loves to see the videos so we sat and watched a few of the most recent on my iphone. Such a sweet boy. He does enjoy spending time outside.

Have a great day!

Yay NYC!!! Love it. Hot dogs, Central Park, what more could we do? Maybe go to the museum again and trick the tourists. Can't wait. Got my bag packed and I'll be watching for you. - Tarragon

Re: 1/30 Mannie AMPS 179 -- DGS Video

always love anything DGS related he is so darn adorable :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: and very nice amps Mannie

Re: 1/30 Mannie AMPS 179, +2 303 -- DGS Video

Mannie, why did you leave that nice blue AMPS behind. Well, the day is young, plenty of time to get back to the blue/greens.


Nicholas is a fearless explorer! You can just see him thninking when he was looking at whatever was on his glove.

Re: 1/30 Mannie AMPS 179 -- DGS Video

Nice AMPS for the big fella today ;-) I can just picture him outside with the wind blowing in his fur, must have been funny to see.

I'm at work and can't see the vid, will have to watch later when i get home.

Don't you just love windshield cracks :roll: :roll: They are so pricy to replace, i finally bought some windshield insurance and of course nothing has happened, but i'm sure the second i let the insurance go i'll get a nice big long crack or a rock chip :roll:

Mannie, what do you say we go to central park and tease all the dogs there?!?! Leo

Re: 1/30 Mannie AMPS 179, +2 303 -- DGS Video

Hi guys .. ouch mannie, what's up with that +2? Kinda extreme don't you think? Adorable video of nicholas .. a boy on the move for sure! I love how he knew he had something on that darn glove and even tried wiping it off .. in the dirt .. :lol: have a great day!

Re: 1/30 Mannie AMPS 179, +2 303 -- DGS Video

303 at +2. :shock: :shock: :shock: Mannie, you have got to be kidding... I wonder how low he went last night - could we be in another bounce? only Mannie knows. and he's not taking! :roll:

Hi Ann - yep, the blue was great - no clue what is up with that +2. :shock: I am glad you enjoyed the video. I know there are some folks that don't do FB. And yes - he really does love to explore, just check things out. and omg on the water - it is a given that I have to grab a hold, or in he goes. in the summer when it is warm it won't be such an "issue", but now with the temps on the 30's, one has to grab hold. :lol: :lol:

Hi Melissa - such a nice start, and then: BAM! With that +2. sheshhhhh..... :roll: and yep in the car - I now I sure do not want to have them uniform dudes find me... :lol: Really on mason? He watches the videos? WOW, I am taken back, but so very cool! I am so glad that people enjoy them. It's difficult to come up with new things to record, but it is fun to see him try something new with the same subject latter. I just love "fishing " him out of the river.... and yes - Nicholas loves the outdoors - even in rotten weather... it's so nice to see.

HI Lisa - many thanks! amps were great, now if we can just do something with that +2.....

Hi Linda - so agreed on that +2. sheshhhh - I do so hope he turns that around... and yes on nicholas. It is fun to watch him figure tings out - like with his glove. At least now he's stopped, more or less, putting all that stuff in his mouth. :lol: :lol:

Hi Tracy - the wind thing was such a good laugh - apparently good sniffs for him too. The nose was really twitching. :lol: yeah, hear you on the windshield... Couldn't believe it when I found the crack - guess it didn't like the freezes and the snow and the warming up, so it cracked. oh well.... gotta get it repaired whether I want to or not. It is illegal here in WA state to drive with a crack that runs the full length of the window... :YMSIGH:

Hi Devon - I know on the glove - it cracks me up when he does that. I can't remember what was on his glove - leaf, small twig piece, maybe even just sand - but it is so funny when he tries to clean it with the stuff that made it dirty in the first place. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey Leo - that would be so cool! I so love dog teasing.... silly droolers! ~~ Mannie

Hey Maggie - I am sooooooooooooooooo glad that you are feeling better. I agree: BRING ON THE HOT DOGS!! See you at the curb! ~ Mannie

Mr T! WOOT DUDE! This will be so cool. I so want to go the the museum again and trick the tourists - that was such fun last trip. Remember how they freaked when we moved? heeheehee!!! On my way! ~ Mannie

Re: 1/30 Mannie AMPS 179, +2 303 -- DGS Video

Ok, Mannie, time go get to those beautiful #s that your Momma Bean loves so much. Whatdya say, huh? Hoping for some beautiful #s for you both today. Have a great day!

Re: 1/30 Mannie AMPS 179, +2 303, +4 305 -- DGS Video

305 @ +4. well - a flat pink surf... oh goodie! come on down Mannie

Hi Angela - me too! So hoping he will leave the pink floor!

Re: 1/30 Mannie AMPS 179, +2 303, +4 305 -- DGS Video

Thanks for posting the video of Nicholas in action. He sure isn't afraid of a little cold water! I love how he inspects the dirt. At first, I thought he had no shoes on but then realized he was wearing tan colored shoes. I really didn't think you would let him out without shoes, although, since he is a little nature boy, he would probably like no shoes!

Come on down some Mannie! Did the wind cause your bg to go up?

Re: 1/30 Mannie AMPS 179, +2 303, +4 305 -- DGS Video

Such a cutie!! What a happy child he is!! Cause he has a great DG!!
Wrong way Mannie, so come on down--Hugs & Love from us!

Re: 1/30 Mannie AMPS 179, +2 303, +4 305 -- DGS Video

Yikes mannie what happened? I hope it was from having some nice numbers last night.

Really cute video, he was definitely thinking of tasting the sand! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm all ready, i got some cimmamum cream cheese for the bagels too! -- Tess

Re: 1/30 Mannie AMPS 179, +2 303, +4 305 -- DGS Video

Oh, Mannie...
I think you need a totally different outfit for the big trip...
Binks flew out of here carrying some blue & green ones for you to look over

and the video!!!!!!!!!!! he's a natural!
Nicholas is going to grow up to be a red carpet sensation...
as long as it's nature films!

Re: 1/30 Mannie AMPS 179, +4 305, +8.5 314 -- DGS Video

314 @ 9.5. oh WOW - A flat pink surf.... I ave no doubt that he hit the greens while I slept, and the 179 was on the rise from that. Ah Mannie.... come on back down, OK?

Hi Georgia - Ah no - no fear of cold water for Nicholas - he just loves it. Yes, the dirt inspection is a new thing - before he used to eat it all, now it gets the once over. :lol: :lol: One can just see those mental wheels turning... oh - yes on the shoes! LOL: he has little hiking boots. In all reality he would go barefoot everywhere if I let him. The first thing he does when he comes inside is to take off the shoes, AND the socks. Barefoot rules the roost! -- LOL on the winds and the BG - hay be, huh!

Hi Roni - thx, he really is one happy little guy. He has his moments, but that's all OK. and I so agree on Mannie.... so totally dressed in the wrong color for the big city. :shock: :lol:

Hi Ann - I WISH I KNEW!!! I really think he went low over night, and all this is a reaction to that. We don't normally get pinks unless we are coming off of greens and bouncing. well, so I am justifying this pink streak as.... :roll: :lol: Thx on the video - and yes he was. A few months ago that is exactly what he would have done - now he thinks twice.

Hey Celi - I so agree. Binks will have to save him with an outfit of the appropriate color. :lol: and thanks on the vid - no doubt that he will - and you are right: nature!

TESS!!!!! cimmamum cream cheese??????????????????????????? ***SWOON*** oh wow - that would be so cool on the bagels. I LUBS NYC bagels.... On my way - uhhhhhh... best hide the cimmamum cream cheese - we don't want Tobey to get wind of it too soon, ya Know? ~~ Mannie

Re: 1/30 Mannie AMPS 179, +4 305, +8.5 314 -- DGS Video

I agree, Nicholas is a nature boy! The cold winter water doesn't phase him!! And he really gets around!! Great video!

Now, Mannie, you can come back down. the blue floor is where it's at!

Ellla

Yo Mannie, what a great time we had on the skating rink. Those tourists watching from above the rink were amazed that there were so many kitties gliding around with such great skill! Let's continue the adventure tomorrow.
Rusty

Re: 1/30 Mannie AMPS 179, +4 305, +8.5 314 -- DGS Video

Hi Michelle!! I think Mannie and Champ went out partying last night. Champ's numbers are even worse than Mannie's!!! I, too, think Champ must have gotten low last night when I wasn't watching. The little buggers!!!

Watching a video of Nicholas is the highlight of my day!! Seeing the world through his eyes makes me realize how awesome it truly is!! Who knew dirt was so fascinating? Especially if you cake it into your mittens really, really thick!! :lol: :lol: And he is fearless. I was so surprised that he didn't make any sound at all when he charged right into what had to be freezing water. It would have taken my breath away!! And I love it that you let him get dirty and wet, knowing that children aren't fragile unless we make them that way!! I do pity his mom and how much laundry she must have to do!!

Have a really wonderful day!!!

Re: 1/30 Mannie AMPS 179, +4 305, +8.5 314, +11 390 - DGS Vi

390 @ +11. AAARRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ohmygod_smile I do so hope this comes down tonight. :shock: :roll:

Hi Patty - Thx and the vids, and I do believe you are right. He is so taken back by the simplest things, that it really does make one realize how awesome if all can be. Yeah - the mittens routine is too funny: the dirtier and sandier the better, same with the jeans. Yes, that water is COLD! frigid comes to mind. and yes I let him do just about anything as long as I can be sure he will be safe. Exploring like this is so great for them. You are right - children are not fragile unless we make them that way. LOL on the laundry - that would be a yes. :lol: :lol: -- I bet the boys were out last night - post party high BG's!

Hi Ella - That he is - and nope, the cold water does not phase him, most of the time. Mountain river = frigid water temps. But I alwyas have dry clothes etc, so he doesn't stay wet too long, especially when it is so cold outside. and yes - he is a mover! I have this feeling that he will skip walking altogether and go straight to running. :lol: :lol:

Rusty!!! We were good weren't we! I saw some people with cameras - heeheehee! I am so ready for Morrow!!!! Now: cimmaum donuts and bagels with cimmamum cream cheese. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! ~~ Mannie

Re: 1/30 Mannie PMPS 380 - DGS Video

Re: 1/30 Mannie PMPS 380, +2 305, +3.5 231 - DGS Video

231 @ 3.5. YAY! back to the yellows!

Re: 1/30 Mannie PMPS 380, +2 305, +3.5 231 - DGS Video

Mannie...were you in green last night big guy? A little liver school today to celebrate those greens? Good to see you coming back down!

Love the wind in his hair, ears back, eyes squinting. Very enchanting picture!

Love the Nicholas video...how he moves his little fingers in his mittens and just talking up a storm!! Adorable.

Mannie...Tobes here...I heard you are hiding that cimmamum cream cheese from me!!! I go see my Auntie Ellabean cuz she has cimmamum buns for ME!!!! Especially since my eye hurted. Gracie gots her ice skates!!

Re: 1/30 Mannie PMPS 380, +2 305, +3.5 231, +5 187 - DGS Vid

187 @ +5 - YES!!! Blue!

Hi Marje - looks like maybe he was.. not too sure. LOL on the wind thing - it was darn funny - no way was he giving up! Thx too on the vid - he's becoming quite the little boy. And much fun!

Tobes - well uhhhhh... we hid some, but not all! there's some for you! I know... auntie ellabean made them special. She let me try one, but said they were for you. You are so lucky! I am sorry for your eye thingie - but you is better right? yep - I saw Gracie - WHOA! She can really skate. I kinda suck at it... oh well - we can eat cimmamum buns instead! ~~ Mannie

Re: 1/30 Mannie PMPS 380, +2 305, +3.5 231, +6 170 - DGS Vid

170 @ +6. still blue, and glad to see him leveling out some.
