Tuesdays Tails

What can I do with this crazy family?  I shake just a little bit from the cold - sit in the sun - and they put two coats on me... these people are nuts - but they're my nuts.  Well you know it has been bitter cold - it got in the 30's here!

I am King of the Castle of Nuts!  All I need is my crown.  He-he.



DISCO signing out...



Something to think about:

Awwwww Disco...what are they doing to you?? You should just grin and bear it for a bit, and then catch them off guard with a coup d'état!!

Shelly said...

Disco, you are true royalty!

nancygrayce said...

Oh, I love it! Bless Disco's little heart!

I do love the way some are able to see their cup as all the way full! I won!

Nancy said...

All Disco needs is a warm stocking cap to further humiliate. :)

MadSnapper said...

when jake lays down, i wrap him in a baby blanket, he loves it, but has no coat. baby will not let us cover her up or put a coat on her.. she doesn't get cold or hot... talk about weird. jake gets to hot and to cold.

Remington said...

King of the nuts, lol! Disco is a cutie! Loving the quote... Annnndddd now Disco Duck is stuck in my head. ;)

I'm mostly known as 'MA' said...

It must be so very nice being the King there at your house. I put on layers to keep warm too. But today there is not spot of sun around to keep warm in. Hope your Tuesday is terrific!

Well Disco, the 30's is a heatwave compared to what it was up here (5 degrees one morning, 7 another!!!) although today was a whopping 28 when I took Moon and Copper out! Have another dog biscuit to keep a little extra pudge on 'til Spring!!!...:)JP

Dar said...

Jackie said...

I'm looking for the photo with the crown next....the robes fit beautifully!

renae said...

Sandie! I love love love Michelle Kwan. Thanks for the memory of her. Disco doesn't need two coats or one. Seriously. It is sooooo cold here but my Duchess only wears her long hair. In the summer we will shave her because she gets tooooo hot. What our pets need and what we do for them ...huh?

renae said...

ooops and ...THANK YOU FOR YOUR nice compliments

YES, LET'S SHOP and do lunch and SHOP SOME MORE, ok?

Now get your but over to Austin TX and I will meet you there. Alright?

Linda @ A La Carte said...

Disco I've been wearing a couple of blankets myself! It's suppose to be warmer today! Hugs, Miss Linda

jack69 said...

Yeah Disco we all have a cross to bear, yours maybe...... oh well on second thought I really love the statement by KWAN, I didn't lose, I actually won. good attitude, I'm glad youalso have that attitude. "Arf arf"

PS: I cannot believe the internet has me talking to animals!!! LOL

Love the entry!

goofy humans.

Sharon said...

Disco, I've got to say being King of the Nuts is a pretty good thing - especially if the nuts just happen to be the Chatty family!

Love how you look in your royal robe!!

Bev said...

Brr you are nuts there in your bitter cold:))))... Today it was -29 C...-42C with the wind chill...I think its bitter cold:)) Have a great one dear friend!!

Lisa @ Two Bears Farm said...

He looks nice and warm now!

Cheryl @ TFD said...

Cute, Disco! Love the quote by Michelle. She was a favorite and I always tried to watch her skate when she was competing. She was/is a class act!

Nancy said...

You can tell he rules the roast......and what a royal king he is.....love our animals....

Blondee said...

We always make our pup bundle up in her jacket/parka/raincoat depending on the weather, too, Disco. :)

Liz Mays said...

Awwww Disco, they just love you!

Marie said...

Hi Disco! You look adorable! Our Rocket gets cold too. We bought him a sweater and he sometimes brings it to us to put on him.:) Us silly humans worry about our pups. :)

Nonnie said...

Poor Disco. Dogs really have no say in the silliness of their families, do they? My little Miniature Dachshound used to strut around in his outfit. Trudy just seems to feel the way Jay does when he has to wear a suit.

I like the quote.

Ginny Hartzler said...

Disco, you CRACK Me UP!! You have absolutely made my day!!! King Of The Castle Of Nuts!!!!!! I LOVE it and I think it will be my motto from now on! I may even shamefacedly borrow it for my blog! Because you know that Phil really loves nuts, all kinds! Now isn't that so good for me?

Lynn said...

Well... I bet he's warm! Have a great week:@)

Beth said...

You are so cute Disco!

Pam said...

Disco is the best! What a well cared for cutie! Cute post!

Coloring Outside the Lines said...

Rock on Disco...you've got your masters wrapped around your little finger...er. paw...no claw. HA HA

Belle said...

I love what Michelle Kwan said. She is so right! Disco is such a cutie.

Wendy Annabeth said...

SOO cute!!

Unknown said...

Our pups often leave "presents" in walk-ways to show how much they appreciate us.

Miss Debbie said...

There are many people who would laugh at 30 degrees being called bitter cold! :-)

The Boston Lady said...

We are nuts around here too, Disco. Our pups start shivering when it's in the 60s - well, they are Florida born. Now they've got to toughen up, just like the humans! Ann TBL

Grandma Bonnie said...

Awe so cute Disco. The coats show you how much they love you.

Sandy said...

Oh how I love animals! Disco is just so darling and I think the coats look cute on him...well, maybe he does only need one.

Hootin Anni said...

...and don't forget....someone should find you a throne to go with that crown.

Ann said...

Don't feel bad Disco, my family is a bit on the nuts side too.
Duke

Ms. A said...

Don't get jealous, but we've got the AC on. Stay warm!

peppylady (Dora) said...

Toward the end of the month I like to adventure out and stop in some different blogs and I came over from “Hootin' Annie” ….I sort of remember “Disco Duck” wasn't it a cartoon like thing. We had a real cold snap here in North Idaho it was in the teens for a bit...The dog got charm...If you have time stop in some time...Coffee is on.

Susan said...

Disco, button up your overcoat. Your family puts capes on you to keep you warm. Be grateful and stop yer whining.

They want you to be comfy, you silly dog!

Now go give them a nuzzle and let them know how special they are and how much you appreciate them.

Then ask for a bone. You'll get it, too. Susan

Shug said...

Disco s the cutest...

Betsy Banks Adams said...

Hi Sandie, Hope you all are doing okay down there in GA. We had a beautiful day yesterday at Biltmore --and it felt like Spring. Today was cloudy and dreary --with severe weather maybe coming tonight/tomorrow.... THEN--it will get cold again... Let's keep going around this merry-go-round... ha

Hi, Disco... You can be my 'nut'....
Hugs,
Betsy

Dee said...

It is good to have such wonderful nuts caring for you. I bet deep down you really do like it :)

Susan J. Reinhardt said...

I love Michelle Kwan's attitude. After all, how many people win Olympic silver or bronze for that matter?

Angela said...

Disco rocks!

Annesphamily said...

Aw....so sweet! I need to put up Roxanne's photo with her pretty new coat! That girly dog has a better wardrobe then anyone I know!

That Disco has the life! Making sure he is cozy and warm! What a sweet "nut" of a phamily!

Sr Crystal Mary Lindsey said...

The dogs looks so funny, and the one in bed, almost human. I saw a monkey in some zoo in the U.S. who was wearing a coat and hood against the cold... We are so mad, we think if we are cold then they are. My little toy poodle will shiver after a bath on a very hot day. I think she does that to make me feel sorry for bathing her.. Animals sure do rule us, I bet they think we are so silly.

Betty Manousos said...

disco, you are soo cute!

Granny Annie said...

Good life for Disco:)

Tanna said...

LOL!! He is the King!! Love his coats! blessings ~ tanna

Suzan said...

Poor dear Disco!
If only Augie could share his fur coat with disco! Aug will sit outside and pant at 50 degrees outside. May have to shave him soon than spring!!
Tell Disco "it's easier to put on clothes than to take off!"
xoxo
Stay dry!

Theresa said...

Brrrrr, stay warm little friend! HUGS!

Kathy ... aka Nana said...

Disco certainly deserves a crown! ha!

Jackie said...

Awwww..Disco some times mommy knows best. Hang in there big guy!!

Anonymous said...

poor Disco , hope it warms up soon, love the German Shepherd, thats a good one,

LL Cool Joe said...

I'm not sure Disco likes the 2 coats that much. Kinda cramps his style a bit. :D

Merlesworld said...

I do love animals that talk even if they don't we know what they are thinking.
Merle.....

momto8 said...

ha..he rules!!

Connie said...

Ha! Cute picture of Disco and the coats.

Jo-Anne's Ramblings said...

As long as you are happy with your people Disco then it is all good.

Unknown said...

Disco is adorable and loved. I hate being cold too. Maybe I should start wearing two coats too.

ocmist said...

Country Corgis: You tell them, Disco!!! You must always let them know that you ARE the king of the household. It is one of our main jobs to keep the humans in their place! Grammy says she needs two pairs of shoes to keep her feet warm in this COLD weather!

Lynn said...

Disco - what a cutie. :)

Tricia Buice said...

Cold in Atlanta - go figure :) Adorable fuzzy friend you have there!

Nikki (Sarah) said...

30 you say???? It's minus four here. And little disco is adorable....stay warm and govern your kindom of nuts with the same love they watch over you.

~Lavender Dreamer~ said...

You've got the right idea...go with the flow! heehee! Stay warm!

Rob-bear said...

It was -45° here this morning; that's -49° in your terms. All it would have taken to freeze your hand was to touch one of our double-glrazed window.

I'm not sure how Disco would respond to that fresh, bracing, invigorating weather. Perhaps he should stay where he is, coats and all. (Sorry to sound inhospitable, but I don't want you ending up with a pupsicle.)

Debby@Just Breathe said...

Two coats....you poor thing!

Jim said...

You sound like the lady who cared for Katrin while we were gone. She was soooo happy that we had found a sweater for Katrin.

Katrin doesn't wear a sweater at our house but those people spoil her. When Mrs. Jim thought our Adi was getting too cold sleeping having her bed on the floor she asked our vet about it.

The vet asked, she is a dog is she not?
