We Got Locked Up

Well, the week went by quickly! And that means it's time for Sunday selfies again! 

There was a lot of comings and goings here, too, which meant that we got locked inside the house each time till the peeps came home again...and then we even got locked in when they were home because there was an invasion of sorts here...there was a hole dug into the yard, and then a man came by with his big tanker truck...and a long hose, way bigger than any snake we've ever seen! (Through the window of course, because well, we were locked inside...something about barking and getting in the way...sigh...)

Pawppy told us he came to suction out the big tank where all the water we use for showers and dishes and laundry goes...and it needs to get emptied every so often, so it doesn't back up...eeuuwww! (The septic tank)Well he came about two hours later than he had planned, and then he was there for an hour doing that work. And that meant were locked up for at least 3 hours! Then a bit after that, pawppy and petcretary locked us in again and drove away...they were gone about 3 /2 hours...sheesh! They did that on Wednesday too...phooey! And Thursday it rained most of the day so we were in couch potato mode. When are we going to have a whole day, free to come and go through the doggy doors here?? BOL!

Well the reason we were locked up on Wednesday was because that was Petcretary's birthday and pawppy took her to a fancy restaurant for a nice dinner! We made this card for her, too...but sheesh, no doggy bag came home with them...blah...
Well here we are now...so you can see how sad were were to not be allowed to go along with the peeps when they go to eat for special days...BOL, BOL!!
This is the 'doctored' image we put in petcretary's BD card....taken before this series of lockups happened...


BOL!!! We are happy now cause the doggy door is open again!!

Petcretary learned of two new angel kitties that she knew from the days she had the kitties at Catster. They don't blog but they do have FB pages. You can visit them there by clicking on the caption under their mementos.

Time For Selfies!

Here we are once again to join up with all the other selfies at The Cat On My Head for their weekly blog hop.

One of our favorite things to do each week.

Not much happening in our doggy world, despite all the uproar in the world we hear about from our pawrents. Which gives thought to the fact that us furry ones are a stress reliever and a stability maker in *their* lives! Phew, what wisdom we have today...

Petcretary was in our back woodsy area, (yet again), and continuing to do clean up duty there, though its MUCH better than when those tree peeps had just come through.

We were snoopervising...or trying to engage our neighbor pup Rose fro a fence running game...or sniffing in all the leaves for something to hunt...and yup! Dalton wouldn't stop digging which is unusual for him...mostly its a Benji thing...but well they both are terriers. Suddenly there was what petcretary thought came from Dalton as he was running away...but wait! Benji was there right with him...and then *she* saw that Dalton had a prize in his jaws...a vole. (Didn't know they could make such a loud yelp/squeal). So they were not about to give it up...but eventually it was dropped and *she* stole it...dead as it was by then...and gave it an impromptu funeral...far away from prying schnooters and paws...what a party pooper! BOL!So here are our selfies for this week:

Did ya have ta steal our fun??
Just when the fun was at its height you ruined it...Grrr!
When our fun is spoiled outside, I have to make my fun time happen inside, BOL!!

Oh wait! Petcretary was a first right guesser for Teddy's Tuesday Teaser Class, so she got this badge for her efforts:
All the selfies are here in the Blog Hop; Thanks Kitties Blue!

Dona Nobis Pacem ~ Hold The Light

Holding a light makes  darkness fade away, so those on the dark path will see where they are going.
It is a beautiful thing if you can hold a light for your neighbor, when they are floundering in their dark time, or even lost in it. Then they'll be able to see their way out. Imagine if everyone held a light for someone every day. What a beautiful thing it would be, and then friendships might bloom...which is the beginning of peace, 
Dona Nobis Pacem.
Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with ME!

A Fun Guest Selfie!

 

Wow,  its already the third of November!! The holiday season is upon us, well.almost!

Petcretary has to work this weekend so time at blogging is sparse...so we'll allow her a guest, saves her time from making us pose, BOL!

So here is the series of pictures that were taken on a whim at the spur of the moment...this dude whose name is totally forgotten...has some furmouse blogging cousins...

So, on Saturday of her vacation she saw these two pups being walked by their Mama and Papa...



OMD! She said, that is a cousin of DaPhenny and DaNelly!! Along with his Frenchie Sisfur!
Then on Sunday as they were about to go to the airport to go back to her sister's place, petcretary saw them again!! So she got some better pics, including a (sort of ) selfie!



Too bad petcretary sometimes has a brain like sieve, everything falls out...sigh....she wishes she could remember his name and that of his sisfur...oh well!

We will now join up with the Sunday Selfies at The Cat On My Head!

We are thankful that The Kitties Blue continue to have this blog hop each week, already for over ten years!! Wow! We love it. It's fun, and anyone can join, you do not need to be a cat or a doggy!

Pre-Halloween Selfies

Wow, October is almost over, seems like it just got started and now its almost november!! Where does the time go???
Petcretary the tree cutting crew and a friend are still working in the backyard to get rid of all the logs, limbs and other tree debris. It's a lot more open now...but sheesh, what a mess. It's a good thing it is fall and soon everything will be covered in leaves and or snow...so that when spring comes, all the now bare areas can start growing grass and tons of green weeds again, BOL! Petcretary will scatter grass seed when everything is cleaned up. For some reason neither Dalton or Benji are interested in digging! Unbe-woofable!! But thankful!
Anyways, soon it will be Halloween. We got ourselves dressed up, not anything scary, spooky or evil, since actually *she* doesn't care one bit for this holiday.
We don't even see trick or treaters here, because the  treats in our area are so scattered, being as we are in a rural setting. There are more lucrative places for the little ones to go and fill their sacs. There won't be a lot of light either, since the next full moon isn't till mid November.
So here are our selfies in pickleball mode, BOL!!

Petcretary was sort of sad that Benji's outfit didn't come with a hat like Dalton's...though Benji sure couldn't care less, BOL!! Dalton rocked it this week!!
We didn't want to make an ussie...oh well!
Pawppy has our food delivery from Chewy, and we sure hope there are treats in there, too!!


We are joining the Sunday Selfies Bloghop! Thanks, Kitties Blue, for hosting as always!

Back From Vacation ~ Guest Selfie ~ And Angels

 Petcretary came back from her vacation and rescued/released us from Doggy Jail...we were SO glad to be back home! And wow, there was all kinds of tree junk to explore in our yard...though petcretary calls it a huge mess. So we've helped snoopervise her making large brush piles and playing Smokey The Bear to make sure she doesn't burn down the whole yard! She said she'll get help to cleanup  the large trunks and logs, some of which she sold to the tree cutter, and some she'll pay to have it hauled away, as they are a bit too large to safely burn. (Let alone move around!)

Hurry girls, we want to get out of here and go home!

On the way back here, Petcretary met an unusual Mountie at a rest stop...he obliged with a selfie, and then he wanted to have another with her, BOL!

It was fall in full glory out west...and now its like that here, too:
Here are the happy newlyweds:
They got dressed up for a traditional Chinese Tea ceremony as the groom's family is Cantonese.
 
Here they are shortly after the wedding ceremony...but the bride had already taken off her beautiful and very long train and veil...

The next day the couple had to fly to get to their honeymoon destination...and petcretay and our Auntie were walking in the airport looking for their own departure waiting area, and they suddenly were met by those two!! Imagine that!! 
They also had a lot of the wedding party and some guests on their own flight back...a lot came from the same area where our auntie lives, and some had to travel back to another city a few hundred miles more to the east.
 When petcretary got back to our house there was this huge tent in the neighbor's yard...they had a wedding there the same day as petcretary's niece!!
It took two days to get it taken down!!
Here we are having a yummy treat as a  bribe for good behavior when we got home...


And since the 20th was Tocktober, and we missed that, Dalton obliged with a great tock-shot, BOL!!
Investigating the big pile of tree rubbish...

 Benji showing off *his* more modest Tocks!


That's all folks!!


Now for the new angels we heard about while the maker of the mementos we send was not at her computer...
Treeno from Life & Cats.  Treeno only has Facebook, since the blg is inactive...
Gracie from News and Views By Coffee Kat

Madison from My GBGV Life




You can visit their families by clicking on the captions....to leave your message of comfort if you haven't done that yet.

It may be a while yet, before we can visit you as *she* is very busy with the outside work, and a whole lot of other duties, chores and her work.
Us Pups are Happy that things are back to normal...sort of...around here, so we'll join the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop...as well as the Sunday Selfies one at the Cat on My Head...even though we are late.
