Sketch Cards on eBay

For impatient people, or dogs like me, waiting for a listing on eBay to close can seem like it takes forever! I know every listing I look at seems like there are days to go, so I wait to bid. And then the end of the auction comes, I'm probably busy doing something else because I have forgotten about that cool thing I wanted to bid on and the auction is over. Of course, I find this little fact out about an hour after the auction closes, because that's when I got around to looking at eBay again!

So, I look for another cool something that is a lot like the other cool something I wanted, but since that cool something was probably something there isn't very many of, or is a one-of-a-kind item, I probably can't find one easily on eBay. That means I spend the next few hours combing through listing after listing just hoping to find that cool thing once more, and still come up empty — though I have managed to use a lot of time I needed to spend on something else, so now I have to play catch-up with whatever it was I should have been doing instead of searching for that cool thing.

I would save you  the same plight I seem to be in whenever I want that cool thing. How? You ask. By posting this right now, so that you, yes you, can be warned before an auction closes!

As I write this, there are only 6 hours left on four Howl-O-Ween themed ORIGINAL ART sketch cards I have done and posted on eBay. That means if you have been watching them and waiting — and I know that many of you have — you don't have long to get a bid in and win the sketch card(s) of your choice.

As you know, I don't do a lot of sketch cards — probably around 50 a year — and each and every one of them is an original! On the back of each one is lettered to that fact and signed! Each one comes in a protective mylar sleeve and is in a hard top-loader. AND, I hear they are like potato chips — once you get one, you want to collect more...

You can go right NOW to see all four of the Original Art Sketch Cards I have listed by following this link: TUGG'S eBay AUCTIONS

And, here are what the four little pieces of original art by me look like:

DAY 467

DAY 467 pupdate on Tugg: 
We caught Tugg walking around the house singing, "My bologna has a first name..." early this morning. Then, after lunch we caught him singing the same song again. Once again, after dinner he was singing the same song. When we held up the rinds we found yesterday, Tugg looked at us and said, "What are those?" Then he walked around humming that same song...
4 photos today.

I was going to put up some different photos today, but while mommy and daddy were working on photos for my firefighters and me calendar, I saw some photos they took of me and one of my girlfriends! She's a little younger than me, and is a very pretty pitty! So I thought I would share those with you instead! I'll bet you can't tell that in this photo we've got a really good game of Twister going on!

So, we were there at the fire station, and she said, "I can stick my tongue out further than you can!" I said I didn't believe her, and that on the count of 3 we should both stick our tongues out! All the firefighters and everyone was watching, and we gave them a few minutes to make some side bets if they wanted too! You should have heard everyone betting different cleaning and cooking chores, that was pawesome! "OK... 1... 2..."

‎"3!" OMG! There is no way I can compete with THAT tongue! I may be a super hero, but I think I'll stick to contests involving super powers only! Ok, let's see who is going to be cooking and cleaning...

OK since she won, I guess I have to pay up on my part of the bet, so I gave her a Tugg kiss. I think she liked it!

Texas Dogs & Cats - Fort Worth/Dallas October 2011

DAY 465

DAY 465 pupdate on Tugg: 
Tugg spent most of the day making some additional scenes to his haunted house. He already has the zombie shoot-em-up in the back yard, aka. the The Place where Bones are Buried. BUT, Tugg has now created a haunted Widow's Walk on the front of the house. There is a ghost widow that comes out, wails and then disappears as the porch shakes and falls away from the house! And, were not even going to tell you what he's done with the root cellar!
3 photos today.

As I write this, the World Series will be starting in a few minutes. As you know, The Texas Rangers are taking on the St. Louis Cardinals. I'm a BIG Rangers fans, but I'm also a big Cardinals fan. So who do I cheer for? It doesn't help that mommy is a big Cardinals fan and daddy is a big Rangers fan, AND they both like the other team a lot too! I have a feeling we'll be cheering for every at bat!

I asked Leftover who he is going to cheer for, and he told me that cats don't have to cheer for anyone — whoever wins is obviously who the cat was cheering for...

So, I guess I'm going to be happy for whoever wins, but I just realized something else... When the World Series is over, that's the end of baseball for this year. That means the winter will be here soon and the "boys of summer" will have to wait until next year before they play again. I say make the series go for all 7 games!

DAY 464

DAY 464 pupdate on Tugg: 
We saw what appeared to be a line of zombies going to the garage this afternoon. We were about the start going into "zombie killer mode" when Tugg happened to step out. "Some of these zombie actors are pretty good! I think we're going to have a great zombie shoot-em-up!"
7 photos today.

Tonight, I shall give you all a tour. A tour beyond sight and sound. You do not need to adjust your monitor or volume, it is under my control and I have adjusted it for you. Tonight, you shall tour... Tugg's Haunted Hosue! (And, because I wanted you to see it from my level, I took the photos with my collar camera!) So, be warned, enter if you dare! Booowaaahahaha!

Oh no! It's Ghost Duckie! AHH!

Beware the GIANT SPIDER! It may catch you in its web!

Beware entering this room! All you hear as you enter is: "moma... moma..."

What did those ghost things do to that poor...?!

What is that in the back, in the place of buried bones!? It is a zombie dog! Run!

You are almost out safely, but wait, what blocks your path?! A GIANT zombie dog! If you do not get out, you may end up in the place of buried bones!

DAY 463

DAY 463 pupdate on Tugg: 
Yesterday, after finding out his prediction was correct that the Rangers will be playing the Cardinals in the World Series, Tugg watched the season premiere of "The Walking Dead." Today, he spent much of the day making sure we are ready "just in case" for the Zombie Apocalypse...
3 photos today.

Since I was making sure the house was ready, in case the Zombie Apocalypse breaks out, I decided I might as well take advantage of Howl-O-Ween coming up, and make my own haunted house! Duckie, Ajaxx and I think we made it one of the scariest haunted houses around! All the neighborhood kids lined up around the block to go through it!

And, not only is it scary and spooky, but we also made a zombie shoot-em-up in the back yard — or as we call it, the Place of Buried Bones! What we did is, we have some volunteers out there that ACT like they are zombies and they wander around and ACT like they are going to get the "guests" going through the house. The guests then get to "shoot" the "zombies" with paintball guns! It is pawesome!

I can't do a very spooky laugh, so, just pretend like I did just now! OK, now, Who dares to enter Tugg's Haunted House?! BOOOOWAAHAHAHAHA!

DAY 462

DAY 462 pupdate on Tugg:

We heard Tugg and Ajaxx talking in the studio today. Then we heard what sounded like writing on the dry erase board. We peeked in and saw Tugg drawing some equations on the board and Ajaxx drawing the same equations on a piece of paper. Ajaxx looked at Tugg and said, "So, let me get this straight — In Quantum Physics, particles move backward as well as forward in time and appear in all possible places at once, and the universe is splitting, every Planck-time (10 E-43 seconds) into billions of parallel universes? Can't we then find one of those dimensions?"
"I already have," Tugg answered. "Here, let me show you..."
2 photos today.

Yesterday I said I wanted to make a prediction, but didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Well, I decided that since the two teams are playing tonight, I would go ahead and tell you my prediction — since I think they will win tonight and clinch it! Yep, you guessed it, I think it's going to be The Rangers and the Cardinals in the World Series!

I kind of guessed that it would be the Cards and the Rangers! Besides, these are the only two baseball team caps I have! When they do start playing the World Series, it will be fun to watch... BUT I'll be cheering for both teams! (You guessed it, at my house we have fans of both of these teams!)
