Three Videos (none of them about ME) As if!

It seems that whilst momma should have been walking me or helping me read bloggies she has instead been idling away watching videos on that pesky YouTube. Videos that not only don't have ME in them, but that actually have NO DOGGIES or other doggies who are still not ME. Can you imagine?

Check this out.

Movie #1 Humans Dancing with Frisbees. Seriously?






Movie #2 Dogs Dancing with Frisbees. In this one, please note the pod like structure in the background which was clearly used to transport that Border Collie dog from the planet agility. Hey momma! I could so do any of those tricks (that is of course if you could find a frisbee that did not succumb to jaws of doom in moments thereby losing it's aire-o-dynamics).



 


And finally, Movie #3 A most alarming doomsday featurette.



 


 I said "Hey Momma! Throw my fans a bone. At least put up a photo of my large and handsome self."

To which request she pulled out this alarming picture, heretofore unpublished, in which Pea looks totally GIGANTIC and I look like some tiny backup dog. Oh the humanity!






Well, at least now that we have seen the Chester look alike and jogging lady go by, looks like the coast is clear for my walkie. Let's get to it, lady!

Mango Man! Oh yeah!

Surprise on Saturday!


Oh boy! Lookit what came in the mail yesterday! Do you see? An official Mango Minster 2012 blanket with a picture of ME on it!

Is that the coolest thing every or what? It came from Minna Krebs and was totally a surprise for my large and handsome self.





Don't you think the color looks wonderful with my furs? Thank you Minna Krebs!

Mango Man! Oh yeah!

IT'S FRANKIE FURTER DAY!


That's right, friends, today is Frankie Furter Day! Woo hoo! That means that today a bunch of us dogs that blog are taking a moment to celebrate our good buddy..... FRANKIE!





I thought, no better way to celebrate than with a BIG BOOM!

So I borrowed one of those official civil war canons from our village green.

Heck, I even got myself an real live Yankee hat just to get in the spirit of things. You know it!










Are you ready? Cover your ears.....



SURPRISE! Woo hoo! Look at that little dude go!



















Whoops... face plant. Sorry, pal.















No worries, right? All's well that ends well.











So here's a Relentlessly Huge howdy do to Frankie (oh, and hey from PeeWee too)!

Frankie, my man, you totally rock. This is YOUR day, so live it up.

DammitMango Man! Oh yeah!

P.S. Hey! That picture that PeeWee posted on Wednesday had you all scratching your heads, didn't it? Apparently it was housework day at the kidney dialysis center down the street from us. Go figure.

Monday Memories - The Baby Mango



Before I start my post for today, here are some important announcements from around blogland!

Hey! Guess what? Maxmom's way cool awesome book all about her life with MaxDog is now available to order online right here in the U.S.! You know it!


Click here to find out how to order and also how to enter a contest to win your own autographed copy.

You know what else? Remember Chrome who won first place Adventure Animal at Mango Minster 2012? Well, for his third birthday, he got all fancied up and his momma went for a ride on his back for the first time ever and it was totally way cool awesome! Let's here it for Chrome! You can see all the action here.

Miss Lily is home recuperating from really serious emergency back surgery.

Finally, my friend, Molly, who is the sissy of Most Cracker Critter winner Taffy, is having surgery today and could use your good thoughts. Visit her here.




Momma FINALLY got her photo scanner working again so I immediately asked her to scan in some pictures of, well, ME! 

But first check, out this photo of Grandpa Angus when he was a baby! Wow! He was tiny just like Miss Molly.



Can you believe that's my momma? No grey furs on her. Imagine. Hey! For all you nerds in the audience, go ahead and bigify. The photo in the background is a watchercall particle accelerator. Nerd art! Ish! 



Lookit! Here is Grandpa Angus and Baby Beautiful Raja. I never knew Beautiful Raja was that tiny! Even smaller than an Airedale.





But enough of that, because I know that you come here to see pictures of me. Go ahead, admit it, you just can't get enough of The Mango.


So here I am in all my puppy glory learning how to prune shrubberies right through the fence (something I practice to this day).






Momma sometimes tries to convince me that Raja didn't always like me very much. I know she is wrong. How could she not like such a handsome little dude. Damn! I can hardly stand looking at my own cuteness.






Can you believe that this used to be all we had for sun baking (as opposed to the observation deck that I have now). No worries, plenty of room for two. Grandpa Angus preferred to retreat to his hole in the ground during warm weather. Different strokes I suppose.






Obviously my exceptional handsomeness was clear from day one. Oh indeed.





Mango Man! Oh yeah!

P.S. Just to complete the set, momma asked me to post this photo of little Pi (whom I never met) with Grandpa Angus. She says that Grandpa Angus was totally in love with Pi just like I loved my Beautiful Raja and that he was sad when she had to cross over the bridge before him.

My Relentlessly Huge Trip to the Salon (with Video)



Woo hoo! I totally LOVE going to the beauty parlor!

Well, OK, I love it as long as we don't have to leave at some absurdly early hour of the morning. 





The Mango needs another cup of coffee





You know what? Most doggies have to go into stupid crates and stuff, but not ME! No sir! I have the run of the entire place. You know it!



Bye momma! Have fun at work.


So I had momma make a movie of my big day but because she had to go to the work place she didn't get to actually see me getting my whirlpool treatment and soothing massage. Whatever. It is still kind of a fun movie. You can watch it here.







Phew! A day of beauty is exhausting. 

Chase tennis ball? NO WAY!



 I am just going to lay here looking handsome.




Mango Man! Oh yeah!
