"Trick and Treat" in Lassie and Benji's Haunted Dog House

Blogville is into the Halloween Spirit this week. (Check out the Linky List Below!)   So, we've decided to join in the fun and have our very own "Trick and Treat" in our Haunted Dog House.

Now our Dog House may look small from the outside, butt there's plenty of room on the inside.  In fact we have 5 rooms in our dog house and even a Grand Piano aka "PEE-ano"!

So, step right up and enter if you dare... to "Trick and Treat" in Lassie and Benji's Haunted Dog House.

Hope you bloggers weren't too scared!


Here is a screen snap from the video of the Magic Number 87 Trick.

We even calculated all the possible digits (see charts below).

Try it -- 87 billion times if you want -- it always totals 87! 

Even if you use number 87 to start with -- it still totals 87 as the final answer!  Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!


1) Pick a 2 digit number (last digit has to be less than the first) = 87

2) Subtract the reverse.   87-78 = 09

3) Add the reverse.  09+90 = 99

4) Always subtract 12.   99-12= 87

5) You always get Magic # 87.

Hope you can click on these charts to make them bigger.

 Happy Halloween!

P.S.  We entered Pumpkin Chuckin at Sarge's Blog, check it out on Halloween at www.sargespeaksout.blogspot.com .

 P.P.S.  Here we are chucking around a real live pumpkin that Mommy drew us on with a marker.  (Benji thought the pumpkin was a soccer ball, so she had to take it away before we had pumpkin gutts all over the Living Room Carpet!)

Happy Halloween!



Remembering Benny the French Bulldog

We are joining the rest of Blogville  mourning the loss of our dear friend, Benny the French Bulldog.

Benny (Benson) had Liver Cancer and he was trying to "Fight Like a Frenchie" to beat that Cancer.

His mom Andrea posted on Benny's "Go Fund Me" page yesterday that Benny passed over Rainbow Bridge at 2:04pm on October 24, 2013. Benny went to sleep in his mom Andrea's arms.  And that he "fought like a Frenchie. "


Do you remember when we posted those games on our blog a few months ago in July trying to raise some funds for Benny.  Here is our cartoon drawing of Benny from July.

Run Free Over Rainbow Bridge, Benny.

You had a great fashion style, a wonderful sense of humor, and your posts always made us smile.  Our favorite video of you was the music video you did to the song "I'm sexy and I know it."  We always think of you whenever we hear that song.   We are glad we got to know you  thru the blog.

We got the Big Honey Dog book in the mail!!!!

We've been barking at Mommy non-stop ever since we heard our blog friend Big Honey Dog's book was available in Paperback at Amazon.  The book's name is Big Honey Dog Mysteries - Curse of the Scarab by H.Y. Hanna.

 

Here is our reaction to seeing the book for the first time.  Benji said the book smelled so good.  He tried to nibble a page of it too.

 

Mommy has to confess.  She hasn't read an actual fiction book in almost 20 years since High School.

 

So this moment was overwhelming for her.  Mommy always hated the books she had to read for summer readings in High School.  The topic of the books just didn't interest her, and she didn't feel she could relate to the books she was forced to read in High School.  It used to take Mommy all Summer (3 months) to finish one book in High School.  (It used to be like pulling teeth!)

 

Butt this time getting a book Mommy actually wanted to read -- was so different than when she was in High School.   Mommy actually read the book over the weekend (3 days) instead of  3 months!

 

Mommy, totally loved the book (eventhough she was a big scaredy cat at times).  Benji and I totally held our paws to her hand when she was scared during some chapters.

 

There was a lot of happy/funny moments in the book too -- so Mommy practically woke us up when she was laughing out loud -- way past her bedtime!

 

 

By far the best page of the entire book is PAGE 6 of the Paperback version because my name (LASSIE) is totally written in the book.   I was so happy when I saw that!  I totally knew Honey must be mentioning me in the book (and not that Lassie dog from the TV Show- Lassie.)  I'm a star!

 

 

 

Now we don't want to spoil the book for anyone.  So, if you haven't read the book yet -- just scroll past the pictures below.  (I really don't think these pictures really spoil anything -- butt this is what we did to demonstrate something in Chapter 14 -- and we totally used a different kind of stuffie than what was mentioned in the book.

 

 

 

 

This is a magician's hat.

 

 

 

 

Here Benji is pulling something out of a magician's hat! 

 

 

 

 
 

Oh my dog -- Benji totally pulled out his eye-less snake stuffie out of that Magician's hat! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And now I (Lassie) will show you another Magician's trick. 

 

 (Don't say I look like Abe Lincoln in this picture either!) 

 

 Mommy knows I hate hats -- why on earth did she put this hat on my head is beyond me!

 

 

This is a bunny rabbit sitting in the magician hat.

 

I will totally make the bunny rabbit disappear. Here he goes....

 

 

 

Umm, Bunny Rabbit, I can kinda see your ear sticking out of the hat.

 

 

 

 

Ta Da!  It worked the Bunny Rabbit totally disappeared in the hat!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know these Magician Hat photos aren't quite what went on in the book -- butt we had fun acting out a scene.  (Well somewhat acting out the scene from a chapter.)

Benji and I totally recommend reading this book!  Mommy totally recommends it too (she laughed at times, cried, was scared, she went thru so many emotions -- she NEVER felt like that reading anything in High School.)

Congratulations to Big Honey Dog on your Book! It's Pawsome!  We are so proud of you, Honey!
