Hey It’s Jet Here.
Have you followed this week’s clues starting with Savannah on Monday?
and Texas on Tuesday?
Texas thinks I might have the answer…
Well, the craziest thingie is happening at Casa Jet…
I had to contact Savvy and Texas via Savannah’s super cool three way transport tunnel… to request a meeting…
Check back tomorrow to see if we solved the Moving Letters Mystery!
Another great, yet mysterious day!

Hey It’s Jet Here.
Our friend, Miss Jodi, Heart Like a Dog, initiated this great idea to update readers on previous posts. She created a lovely badge to go with her idea and has successfully turned her wonderful idea into a robust blog hop!
Saturday – Dear Blogville
We appreciated the amount of time and care so many blogpals took to think about the difficult situation we faced last week. Ruby let go of JJ, who saw and then zoomed after a feral cat while the homeowner had a very strong reaction. Most of you had perspectives that resonated with Mom’s. We have passed that way four times this week without incident. No Mr. Homeowner sighting, though.
Sunday – Neve Makes Tracks
Our pack mate, Neve (we forgot to clarify she is a female!), stayed comfy cozy as Mr. Giovanni and Miss Beverly crossed either 8 states in 12 days or 12 states in 8 days, we forget! Miss Beverly generously sent in this photo, which we thought had a cool composition. Whoops, we still owe a bunch of comments from this day (Mom travels and spends very little time home on Sundays lately.)
Monday – Just Thinking About Mischief Potential
A sliver of open door to a teenage room can really get your nose twitching! Many of you wanted to know if Little Miss Curiosity and I went into Rachel’s room. I, Gentleman Jetty, refrained from invading my human sister’s privacy. Little Miss Can’t Resist did a fast investigation locating and delivering a wrapper of some sort to Mom. Mom realized the source of the wrapper and quickly put a kibosh on further snooping.
Tuesday – Mom and JJ Finished the Book
Guess what? A few humans said they also read The Sharper the Knife, The Less You Cry. Mom selected one of the recipes from author, Kathleen Flinn’s website. She chose the Salad Nicoise because Little Miss Bon Appetit and I like almost every ingredient you see in the picture. Lots of readers enjoyed the recipe, too! Yippee! Coincidentally, Mom’s Kitchen Counselor Newsletter eblasted Tuesday to some of our blogpals; Mom had a special thank you to them in this edition!
Wednesday – OCEARCH – Making Shark Tracks
I would say the opinions were unanimous – great photos, great project, glad we live on land and do not encounter these 3,500 lb. creatures! Several of you acknowledged and agreed the program creates a win/win for humans and sharks, whose populations have greatly declined.
Thursday – Mom Requests a Post of Her Own
Boy of boy, thank you for your kind words of understanding, empathy (VBP) and support for Mom. I love you guys for that! She worked on about 40 comments yesterday and hopefully will have some dig out time tomorrow, after her BlogTalk Radio show segment, too! She promised to represent the Tropics as well as help me report when she attends BlogPaws. What a leap of financial faith I tell ya! She’s doing some of that nervous finger tapping stuff; however, I know she will figure it out. (Coincidentally, she procured (VBP) a small, new, exciting part time job yesterday!)
Another great hats off to Blogville, week.
Hey It’s Jet Here.
Mom and I watched CNN this morning while she drank her protein shake breakfast. We caught a super cool piece on this organization called OCEARCH. They catch, tag and release great white sharks at sea and track them to help study the great white life cycle.
In September, they found a large, 3,500 lb mature female off Cape Cod. They named her Mary Lee after the organization’s founder’s Mom! Yesterday, the tracker found her close to the shore off Jacksonville, Florida so they called the police to advise them. Proper beach notices went out keeping the humans safe and Mary Lee safe, too!
Another great, jaws kind of day!
Thanks to BlogPaws for sponsoring the Wordless Wednesday Hop.
Hey It’s Jet Here.
Before I begin, I want to share an exciting program we joined. Chester, Gretel and Miss Jess from YDWWYW initiated a 30/30 Challenge (walk 30 minutes a day for 30 days) beginning New Year’s Day. We’re kind of a shoe/paw in because we do that every day since we do not have a fenced in yard. We liked the positive outlook and will try to walk more when we can. This project ties in to some of the points we made on our Saturday post.
Our friend, Miss Jodi, Heart Like a Dog, initiated this great idea to update readers on previous posts. She created a lovely badge to go with her idea and has successfully turned her wonderful idea into a robust blog hop!
Saturday – Diamond Dogs
Gosh, so many of our pals resonated with the picture Mom received. You thanked us for sharing the questions Mom receives often about sharing her life with two big (really? Little Miss Golden Tropic 2013 and I think we’re fairly midsized!) K9s and echoed her sentiments. Blogville Rocks!
Sunday – An Unexpected Visit with Austin
As the transcriptionist, Mom did not clarify that only MOM visited with Austin! Many of you find Austin as manly man handsome and sweet as Mom does. Remember, he was one of the Bachelors in Little Miss Dating Game’s collection!
Monday – Literary Mischief Part II
Remember how we worried Miss Beverly would find out about Little Miss Book Club’s enjoyment of this month’s selection? Well, Miss Beverly read the post, commented and proved why we love her so much! “I, Miss Beverly, say that this looks like a very well-loved book… which makes me very happy!” Nellie’s comment gave us a good chuckle, “Hmmm, That can’t happen here anymore at our house – Mommy gots an ereader. Now all she has to contend with is slobber…”
Tuesday – Wonderful Water
Our first Tasty Tuesday post of the New Year hailed the virtues of water. All our furpals gave paws up to their enjoyment of agua. Most of the bipeds agreed; some preferring tea to the cold options to drink the recommended daily amounts.
Wednesday – Dancing in the New Year
Thanks for your resounding compliments and enjoyment of Ruby and Little Miss Dancing with the Stars’ photo. Some of our newer readers thought JJ was me! Some of our long term readers worried that I didn’t get a turn. Mom and I loved the moment; I did not feel left out or limited because of the Cone of Courage. I’m mellower these days… maybe it’s the hypothyroid medicine, maybe it’s the two weeks of fireworks… who knows.
Thursday – Comic Book-ized Jetty Boy
We apologize for falling behind on comments again. You cannot see the great responses yet ranging from agreeing that Little Miss Marvel and I are superheroes to thanking us for introducing you to the talented creators, Kirby and his Mom! Mr. Will asked how we did it… Lucky for us, Kirby and his Mom shared the tool because you know who is quite tech challenged!
Another great Diamond Dogs FUF day!
PS… Mom’s tummy ouchies have returned on top of her lingering cold/flu thingie… we have to dig out again… which… is taking us a bit longer because my Nana and Poppi have some major health issues going on and Mom is doing lots of attending… (They live 2 hours north!) Thanks for bearing with Mom, she really appreciates it. Jetty
Hey It’s Jet Here.
Little Miss Cha-Cha-Cha and Ruby did the New Year’s Day Dance last night after our constitutional!
Mom and I thought it was the cutest thing ever!
Another great dancing New Year’s Day, day!
P.S. Another rough fireworks night in the tropics. 😦

Before I begin, may I write a BIG THANK YOU for checking on Mom and I to see how we’re feeling. I’m kerplopping less out on our walks; however, I’m still rather uncomfortable. Mom says I tolerate the first aid spray and the goopy medicine very well. The Cone of Courage remains on 24/7 to defray (VBP) my desire to bite/scratch the area. Mom seems to have improved about 20%; she continues to feel like her head is under water! She kept her promise and rested a good bit last week.
Saturday – Merry Newfmas and Happy Houndlidays
We enjoyed participating in The Pet Blogger Gift Exchange hosted by the fetching Honey and Miss Pamela. Many of you already knew our giftee, Newf and Hound, while several of you looked forward to meeting them. Guess what? Turns out my buddy, Snoopy, lives really close to Hazel, Ernie, Nooner and Foyle and wants to meet them! Super cool!
Sunday – Cone of Courage
We appreciated your feedback which ranged from acknowledging our efforts to “turn our frown, upside down” to making lemonade from lemons, etc… Mom asked me to share she’s glad you found the photo moving. So many of you have my back on this one, I feel the love!
Monday – Scientific Mischief
Yeah, you could relate to Little Miss Bird Dog and my urges to uh… stray from the strict scientific endeavor of participating in this year’s annual Bird Count. Glad you got a kick out of our Boa Leash maneuver! Of course you understood our efforts to keep that arrogant Winchester in line! My BFF, Savannah, requested a quill from that peacock, which, we will happily try to find when he next molts!
Tuesday – Tasty Tuesday Christmas Style
We wished our blogpal community celebrating Christmas the appropriate greetings and asked how to properly do so in a few cultures. We learned that in a few countries, it’s proper to say Happy Christmas, as Merry Christmas might imply (VBP) debauchery! We even learned how to send good wishes in Dutch from Suki, Hiro and Miss Dianda! Vrolijk Kerstfeest!
Wednesday – Now I’m a Leaping Lord
Wowee, wow wow! Can you believe Miss Ann bestowed such a Royal title on ‘ol Jetty boy? Thanks for the positive feedback on my new skills. I think that I may be ready to learn the game of kings… POLO! Several pals worried about my ego… I want to quash (VBP) the notion that I will change as a result of my recent Royal titles… I remain your humble Jetty. If I begin to show any difference, Mom PROMISES to keep me in line!
Thursday – The Little Thingies
So glad you feel the same way about gratitude for the “basics” (which are really a big deal, especially for those of us who had “before” times we do not want to think about.) We all agree to take time each day to remind ourselves of how fortunate we are. I’ll remind you, if you remind me!
As for my digression regarding the recent appointment of a new Secretary of State, our friends at the DogDaz Zoo wrote, “And you are so right about a Golden for Sec of State.” I really feel Bo’s Dad made a mistake – there, I said it again!
Another great Follow Up Friday holiday edition.
Hey It’s Jet Here.
Hope all who celebrate Christmas had a great day yesterday. Guess what? While catching up on comments (we did over 70 yesterday), we saw that Miss Ann included us in the famous Christmas song… The 12 Days of Christmas! Wowee, wow, wow! Check this out!
Gosh, I’ve recently been deemed a Prince, now a Lord, I could get a Royally swelled ego!!! (Nahhh… Mom would NEVER let it happen!)
Another great Leaping Lord Jetty day!
Thanks to BlogPaws for sponsoring the Wordless Wednesday Hop.
Hey It’s Jet Here.
Before I begin, if you read some of my comments from yesterday, you know I had an unexpected visit with Dr. Schaffer. Little Miss Annual Exam had a scheduled meeting; however, after a late night version of “Ants in the Pants,” Mom put me in the car, too. The “AITP” game looks like me zipping across the couch, in and out of my day bed, plopping on the tile, doing the tushy slide on the cool tiles, never finding a comfy position over and over. When Mom saw me go for the underside of my fluffy tail, she cringed and knew “it” was back.
I’ll give you the quick and yucky version:

Saturday – Little Miss Gotcha Day
You joined us in celebrating JJ’s first year with us, learning how she came to join our family.
Sunday – Grammy Unexpectedly Hops By
Everyone loved our unexpected visiting Bunny rabbit. His coloring and method of movement fit right in with the Black and White Blog Hop.
Monday – Chopped Liver Mischief
Thanks for understanding why JJ and I felt left out of the fun when Ruby brought Grammy over to visit Mom and Rachel. We got a little sniff at the end and Little Miss Curiosity even had a brief close encounter with the little hopper. Yes, I know he’s adorable… I would have been a perfect gentleman.
Tuesday – JJ’s Favorite Fruit
In honor of her “Gotcha Day Stretch Celebration”, we featured apples two ways: in Wassail a pre-colonial holiday beverage and in an Artisan Bread Stuffing perfect for the holidays as well. Lots of pals and their humans never heard of Wassail before and thought they might like to try it. Send us some photos if you do!
Of course, we prefer our apples straight up as Mom’s Kitchen K9s. Many of you like the same apple varieties as Casa Jet!
Wednesday – Little Miss…
JJ enjoyed thanking you for the many compliments and loving nicknames you sent in regarding her photos. She told me I have great friends, to which I heartily agreed! Here’s JJ with Miss Wendy again!
Thursday – The Next Big Thing
Kirby warmed the cockles of our hearts (hey Mom, what kind of term is that? Jetty, it’s an old expression) with his description of our blog when he bestowed The Next Big Thing Award on us. We passed on the award to five bloggers who more recently joined the blogosphere and have made a strong impact on us.
Thank you all for checking up on Mom. She still stuffy, figured out the problem involves her sinuses and should get to an MD sooner than later.
Another great Gotcha Day Stretch week, day.
Hey It’s Jet Here.
In honor of J.J.’s Gotcha Day, may I present…
Little Miss Girlie Girl…
Little Miss Chewminator…
Little Miss Cone of Shame…
Little Miss Doggie Daycare…
Little Miss Golden Rescue South Florida Reunion… (meeting Miss Wendy!)
Little Miss I Know I Shouldn’t Have Chewed Mom’s Shoes…
Little Miss Tasty Tuesday…
Little Miss Bookworm…
Little Miss Mango Delivery Service…
Little Miss I Can Learn To Knit Like Mom…

Another great Little Miss in pictures day.

Hey It’s Jet Here.
We’re participating in the Channukah Crawl this year, whoo hoo! Today, Catself along with PerPetually Speaking are up. Tomorrow, share the last Hannukah (I know, I spell it differently!) post with Cat Wisdom 101.
Our friend, Miss Jodi, Heart Like a Dog, initiated this great idea to update readers on previous posts. She created a lovely badge to go with her idea and has successfully turned her wonderful idea into a robust blog hop!
We ordered our Dogs of Blogville Calendar this week. Miss Jodi, Sampson and Delilah worked their fingers/paws to the bone creating this fabulous project. The proceeds will divide evenly between two of our fellow bloggers who suffered severe damage in Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy.
Saturday: A+ Customer Service
Thanks to all of you who admired the color of JJ’s new leash/harness. You appreciated the less than frequent experience of great customer service. Update: Mom does not feel secure with the handle of the EZYdog Cujo leash and wrote to Mr. Brady again. She told him she read the return instructions AFTER throwing the tags away. He said we could send that segment of the leash back and exchange it for the Mutley, which has a handle Mom feels confident with. Double A+ EZYdog!
Black & White Sunday: Hannukah with Friends
We enjoyed receiving so many comments appreciating the Channukah Crawl, since many blogpals were curious about our holiday’s history and customs. You expressed how fun it was to have Miss Mary Ann and Dixie celebrate with us. They generously gave us two gifts: super yummy (dried sweet potato) treats and super fun toys. Mom’s still holding out because she knows Little Miss Chewminator will extinguish their sweet lives in less than 3 minutes!
Mischief Monday: Borrowed Mischief
Oh did we receive fun captions and comments about Sonoma’s antics in the dishwasher! Mom shared with Miss Jennifer, since she thoughtfully shared Sonoma’s mischief anticipating (I’m sure of it!) that Little Miss Festival of Lights and I would be on our best behavior! OH! OH! The paperback of Snoopy’s Master Mischief Class arrived… our copy crossed the Casa Jet threshold on Wednesday night! Yippee, Yahoo… a MUST READ (BIAS ADMITTED!) Great for the holidays, remember half of the proceeds helps Therapy Dog Programs!
Tasty Tuesday: Latkes for K9s or Lassie Latkes
For those unfamiliar with latkes, you enjoyed learning about the history and modern interpretations. Many of you shared your family’s preferences regarding toppings: applesauce (Casa Jetty) and/or sour cream! Little Miss Latke and I did the major happy dance when Mom prepared such beautiful samples for us. She barely had time to snap pictures! Mom posted step-by-step photos on her Kitchen Counselor FB page for your review!
Wordless Wednesday: Bandannas and Babushkas
Thank you for admiring the pawesome Hannukah bandannas made by Mollie, Alfie and Miss Stella and gifted to us by Savannah and Miss Linda. You complimented our modeling style and got a kick out of our Mom’s goofing around changing the bandannas to babushkas! Yes, I rocked a babushka… I’m just manly man enough to do it!
Wednesday and a Half: Knotted (An Adaptation of Rapunzel Starring Princess Zena)
When preparing our Thursday post, we popped over to our pal PZ (Princess Zena) and coincidentally found one of our favorite styles of her posts – her story posts… as we read on… it featured… ME as the Handsome Prince! Wowee wow wow… we just HAD to reblog it… if you didn’t have a chance to read it… besides having a starring role, yippee yahoo… PZ and her Producer created an amazing rendition of the timeless tale. Thank you ever so much, PZ… you gave us a wonderfully unexpected gift.
Thankful Thursday: Awards and Appreciation
We felt deeply fortunate to receive the Blog of the Year Award from Miss Ann of My Pawsitvely Pets. Thanks for understanding we could only share the award with a few of the endlessly deserving blogs. We explained what made us choose each blog we bestowed the award on.
Glad you thought the toys Mom gave to Austin for Hannukah rocked as much as Austin did. Mr. Andy reports that Austin continues to tote the two new toys all over the house! When Miss Judy mentioned that Austin likes all the toys Mom picks out, Mom replied that’s because they’re JJ tested and approved!
Another great Festival of Lights week.
