Kili's Page Lady Bugs

Hello, my name is Cridhe Cu Galadriel, AKA Kili or Miss Kili (my favorite). In the novels Kili was the daughter of Romca, a traditional beauty of Minis Tirith. Kili had strong limbs and a curved figure which gave hint to the lineage of her father, while the soft waves of her hair and the dignified features of her face show that she must truly be the daughter of a woman of Gondor. She was slightly muscular and curvy, and her features were sharp. (Well that's me to a tee)

Personal/Items: She wore a necklace with a methril chain and a marble stone at the end. It was her mother’s, a gift from Balin when he took her to Erebor.

It has been brought to my attention by two lovely ladies, Ebby and Derry from Florida that us girls need to have our say, so I have followed their lead and started our own page called "Lady Bugs", JUST FOR GIRLS. This page will be fun but will also cover the more serious issues, and I will make every effort to help you girls in any way I can.

I am happy to add anything you think may be of interest to us ladies; eye-catching male dog pin ups, tips worth sharing, cute photos of gorgeous dogs for us to drool over, recipes, male dog pin ups, nice pretty collars, and not forgetting any handsome dog pictures. Just about anything of interest.

Dear Kili,
My name is Kona and I live with my brother Baron with our humans in VA. We are German Shepherds and we are 9 yrs old. Last week our humans came home with a miniature human they call a "baby". She cries, eat from what they call a "bottle" and does her business in what they call a "diaper". When she cries in her bed my brother and I lay down beside her crib and wait for Mom to pick her up. We've been missing our evening walks because "baby" seems to take up all of our humans time. They have what they call a "stroller" and I think if they put "baby" in it, we could take our evening walks. They also have what they call a "swing" and they put baby in it last night. I was curious to see what it was because it moved and I got hit in the head with it when I stuck my snout in its swinging path OWW!! My brother and I are wondering if "baby" is here to stay and how we can get to know her better. Any suggestions?

Umm, I have heard of this happening before and it must be absolutely terrible, but you have to make the best of the situation. Now I have this information from a very reliable source, and she said "it's" definitely there to stay, and once she got used to the new arrival and it became more interesting, life took a turn for the better. It took a while, but now they are the best of friends and she is very attached to the small human thing. She said these human babies are so clumsy, they are always dropping very nice morsels on the floor which can be very handy in between meals.

You just have to understand and remember what it was like when you were a baby, you took up your humans time, so be patient, you'll soon be back out on your evening walks, your humans just need time to adjust, remember, they're not as smart as us, so bear with them, they'll get the hang of it quicker than you think.

A really good way to get to know these babies better is to help keep them clean, again, especially after they've had their kibble.

Hi, Miss Kili. Love the site! My mom and dad are making a site for me, too, but it's not NEARLY as cool as yours. I'm jealous! Anyway, here's my problem.
I'm a one year old Siberian Husky (my birthday is today!), and I'm a lady in every way--I'm very petite and prissy. When I was seven months old, my mom and dad brought home ANOTHER Husky. He's my half brother, and he's a little BRAT--he thinks it's a fun game to steal my toys, and doesn't even like to chase me--he'd prefer it if *I* chased HIM! Anyway, lately I've been seeing my mom looking at lots of websites about you "Wolfhounds," and I'm worried. It's bad enough having a little brother around, but I'd be scared to have a really BIG brother around! Especially one who's called a WOLFhound--I look a lot like a wolf, and wouldn't want him to confuse me with one! Do you have any advice on how to talk my mommy out of this crazy idea?
Thanks!

Well hello Lady Dominika
Happy Birthday, hope you get lots of lovely treats and attention.
Firstly I would love to see your site when it is ready, and secondly we play with Huskies all the time and we are so smart we know they are dogs and not wolves, so you really wouldn't have to worry. One of our very best friends was a lovely husky back in Minnesota. We are fun to play with and love to chase, so a wolfhound could keep you very fit and active. I'm not so sure you would want to talk you mummy out of getting you such a fun play pal, have a think about it and let me know if you still want me to have a word.

Dear Kili, I love to chase things out of our garden, it's my favorite pleasure, but sometimes my mom and dad don't wake me up to let me know there's a squirrel or bird outside, can you have a word with them and explain I need to feel like the protector of the household, and hate to miss the boat.

Thanks, Cagney, Florida

Dear Cagney, When something of dog importance happens in our house or garden, if I'm sleeping my mom or dad gently wakes me up to let me know. So please Cagney's mom and dad, understand that doing this makes her feel like a VIP (very important pooch) she wants to be your protector and do her job. I'm sure if you promise to do that, she'll promise to stop barking upon command (unless it's the postman)!

Hello Miss Kili!, I wanted to say thanks so much for sharing your doggy "good" biscuits recipe with us! My two daughters and I made them up the other night and brought them with us to a wolfhound home. You see, we are looking for a wolfhound pup who wants us as it's own people. And I think your biscuits got us "in good" with the mum and dad wolfhound there. They smelled so good, even my little girls had to taste them. Hee Hee. And all the wolfies there were drooling for more. Next time I'll have to do a double batch! And you can bet the wolfies will be waiting at the door for us!

Thanks again, Cora in St. Paul MN

Dear Cora, I am so pleased that my biscuits were a hit at the wolfhound house you went to visit, and I wish you all the luck in the world and am sure because you are so kind that all the pups will want to go home with you. It has made me very happy that you are going to adopt one of my brothers or sisters, as me and Balin look upon all wolfhounds as such. My mom said that “Sophie’s Cheesy Choice” is a wonderful recipe and I agree, very, very easy to make, and we ALWAYS love them, especially when she adds some crispy cooked bacon crumbled in too. And my mum and dad pinch one of our biscuits they’re so good. Please give your daughters a big sloppy doggie kiss from me and Balin.

Good luck with the puppy, it will be so much fun!

Dear Kili, What do you think about these "arranged marriages"? The last time I was in heat I had the cutest chocolate lab visit me. OK.....he wasn't that tall, but he dressed up in a new green bandanna and he really knew how to sweet talk me through the fence. My mom yelled really loud to my human mom who was sitting out on the porch and she came outside flapping her arms and she scared my boyfriend away! Then they both sat me down and told me that they had bigger and better plans for my future husband and to stay away from any guys wandering up, no matter how cute. Boy were they upset with me. I only flirted a little! OK.....maybe it was a bit more than that. Do you think they were right to get so upset with him coming by for an innocent visit....or with me for trying to talk to him?

Derry

My dear Derry, Arranged Marriages get my vote BUT ONLY if the dog is very good looking, a true gentleman and has a terrific sense of humor. We have to be very careful when we are in heat, because any Tom, Dick or Harry (unless it's Harry Potter from Bribiba Irish Wolfhounds of course) is likely to pay us a call. Purebreds, mixed breeds, they all have but one thing on their minds. Trust me, these guys are only looking for a one night stand, however cute and well dressed they are, and our mom’s and human mom’s are aware of this and know they don’t need much encouragement.

I doubt they were upset with you, just watching out for your good name. Our Mom’s are wise and usually know what’s best for us, so I wouldn’t worry about flirting, it’s good practice for when we meet “THE ONE”. But I wouldn't wear the hot pants and the high heels next time, it's a dead give-a-way!!

Derry replies to Kili: Wow Kili! You know an awful lot of stuff! Thanks for the advice. My mom Ebby pretty much told me the same thing and it does make sense....at least it does now. She said that the last time she flirted with a good looking guy she ended up with me and your best friends, Duncan and Indie and 5 other siblings! Mom said that it was a result of an arranged marriage and that she was really glad they chose my dad, cuz he's so handsome and gentlemanly. She also said I'd have to stand in a ditch for that lab but I don't know what she meant by that. Sometimes moms can be so confusing!
Derry

Kili replies: Hi Derry, I am glad I could be of service. All I can say is the older you get, the wiser you get. So now you can see why arranged marriages our mom's advise are for the best. Just look at the good looking pups your mum had. As for standing in the ditch, I'm not sure what she meant either, but my guess would be so you could hide from those guys when they come knocking at the fence!

Dear Kili, Thanks for posting the photo of Harry Potter! He's really handsome in those sunglasses. Is he a movie star or something? Now he could eat dog cookies in my bed any time!

Ebby from Florida

Hi Ebby, You're very welcome, he is rather gorgeous isn't he, and pretty famous, just a shame he lives so far away!!

Just to let friends and family know that my daughter, Derry has launched her new singing career. The crowd went wild! <OK...so it wasn't much of a crowd but they were all waving their arms, so I know they loved her!> They were howling for more when she finished. She has to work on a few more tunes but I'm sure we'll be booking her tour soon.
Ebby

Here's another handsome devil. My mate, Sunstag Wolfbane (Balin), call me bias, but he is awfully cute!

He is the newest member of our family and the biggest Wolfhound we've ever seen.

To all you shopper-holics out there, I have found some nice sites worth taking a quick look at, IF you can get your mom/dad off the computer long enough.
