Love Your Pet Pawrty!

 Last Feb 9th was Nutmeg's second birthday, and she had a pawrty at her blog...and a kissing booth, too! Her Mom made pics of all who attended that party, including us. Link to the pawrty, Here. Link to the kissing booth images, HERE.

Last week we had a fail of a Valentine party at one of the local pet shops...yesterday our favorite and closer to us pet shop had a pawrty for 'Love Your Pet Day'...it was that and a bit of a belated VD party as well, since everything on the display table was heart related. Good thing us pups wore our newest Valentine's Day bandanas!

And we made pawprints, though that didn't work out that well...BOL!

There were some free samples, including new cleaning supply ones...what?? We don't make messes, do we?? Everything got put in a Valentine's Day bag to carry home.

And yes there were 'pup cups' too! YUM!

While we were waiting our turn, a lady came out of the grooming room, and said they were doing discounted nail trims...oh oh...

Petcretary said sure, it will save me a job, and Dalton was first to be the victim...um...customer. So the nice lady picked up his pup cup and him, and into the room they went. Petcretary could see that he 'froze'...though he didn't make any noise or growls. When he came out of there his pup cup was untouched...but he lapped it right up as soon as he was back with petcretary.

Then it was Benji's turn...along with his pup cup they went...and he too didn't touch it while getting his nails trimmed. When they came out of there, he looked anxious, which is strange for him...and he REFUSED his pup cup altogether! He seemed rather uneasy the rest of the time spent there.

Then the groomer lady said, look there is blood on the floor! OMD! It was from one of Dalton's back paws...so out came the styptic powder and it stopped bleeding. And another dude came and cleaned up the floor...then the manager came by, and seeing what had happened, he declared that there would be no fee charged for the nail trims on us pups...I think he felt bad, cause he knows us well, and he also knows how Dalton is with all his issues.

We met some other pups, but there was one girl hound dog who was barking her head off the whole time she was in there, There was another pup, a big boy, that when Benji approached at first they were OK with each other, then suddenly there were mutual snarls, so good thing every pup that comes in there is always on a leash, so Benji got yanked away. And no harm done...

Dalton had fun sniffing the shoes and pant legs of several ladies, and he received pets from them with no cowering. Sometimes he feels safer than others.

When we left the store, we were more than happy to quickly get back into the car! 'Lets go HOME, NOW, petcretary!'

We love coming here...

It's our fave pet store!

See the whipped cream on my schnooter? I'll lick it off when I m done with the rest of this yummy treat!

I love pup cups!

You tricked me...phbbbbtthh...

This is my stink eye, directed at you, Petcretary.

I don't want/need this pup cup, even though I love them...and now Dalton is stealing it. I hope I get extra treats at home to compensate.

Let's get going...

to home...where the treats are and no more nail clips on the sly.

We are joining the Sunday Selfie Blog Hop, hosted by the wonderful Kitties Blue at The Cat On my Head!

Angels To Remember

 Once again we have new angels at the Rainbow Bridge, leaving their families sad and feeling empty without them.

Recently there were two new kitty Angels, Ducky and Darth Vader.

You can visit their blogs to offer comforting words, if you haven't already done so, there are links provided in the captions of the memorial mementos.

Darth Vader from 7Cats And Counting

Ducky from Just Ducky!

Sorry that I didn't get these out sooner...I do not have any contacts for these new angels' families. If anyone does would you please let me know. Thanks. Images snagged from our blog are never as good as those received in an email or FB/IG message.

We are joining with The Thankful Thursday blog hop, since of course we are grateful tor the lives blessed by these angels while they were with us, and also because I am glad and thankful I am able to do this for those who need them.

Thankful Thursday

Mardi Gras!

 Whoopee! It's Mardi Gras! Lots of fun going on and then it will be very quiet in those places where it was an all out crazy time. Like in New Orleans, and in various places in Europe.

We didn't endure a current photo shoot for this day, this year, because Petcretary was otherwise occupied, so we are going to show you a set of images made in 2019, the first Mardi Gras for Benji who wasn't even a year old at that time. (Dalton had been with us about a year and a half.)

So here goes with the look back:

A bit of a photobomb, BOL!

Sheesh, this lady called petcretary is crazy!

I'm Dalton in disguise!

That crazy lady now tried to hide my face...

Well, we guess it isn't all that bad, if we get to lay on our nice soft doggy pillow.

But we think she's still all crazy!

 Now, this year, Petcretary took some of them over to AI, and this is what happened to make us have fun for Mardi Gras, aka Fat Tuesday! Hmmm, wonder if the peeps will have pancakes for supper...

We love what it did with our bed!

Petcretary wishes I always would smile like this...

AI got a little crazy, too, with its editing...wow what a grin!

We are going to join up with the Happy Tuesday Blog hop, HERE

Post Valentine Selfies ~ Sunday Selfie Blog Hop #600!!

We hope everyone had a fun and romantic Valentine's Day, yesterday.

In the evening, our pawrents went to a ballet concert...Swan Lake, can't get a whole lot more romantic that that!

Yesterday was Valentine's Day...and petcretary had gotten a notice that there was a 'pawrty' at one of the local pet shops...so off we went, for 87 hours; (25minutes);  and into the store we went.

There was a mobile vet clinic in there...whoa, we avoided that, BOL!

We didn't see anything remotely about Valentine's Day, except the section of seasonal attire and toys, etc. So we asked the manager who happened to be in the aisle we were in...and she said, sorry we don't have one, we were not sent the supplies to set it up, which was supposed to be a kissing booth. and other things. Booo. All they had was free dental chew samples...as if! So back to the car we went and back home, where we got treats and other stuff. Next week there is an event at our preferred local pet shop, we'll go there and have fun, cause the dude who manages that store always gives us 'pup-cups'! (Whipped cream with a doggy treat on top, Mmmm!)

So yesterday we showed you some pics of our angels Pipo & Minko, since Feb 14th was their Gotcha Day, and we do miss them a lot.

But we do have MJF, another angel known to this blog (And 4 more kitty angels, who were here long before we started blogging...)

So here is a nice Valentine's Day image of Angel MrJackFreckles

Sorry, not the best image, it was not a digital picture, so it got 'scanned' to make it work for the blog.

And here are our photoshoot (real) images for this year's Valentine's Day. A whole slew of them!!

This image made petcretary BOL!!!

AI-Dalton...

AI-Benji...

We must apologize for not doing a lot of visiting the past few days...*she* worked one evening, and there was much to be done that didn't include blogging things...we will try to catch up with everyone eventually.

This is Selfie Sunday #600!! Imagine that! Lets all hop and join the celebration! Thanks Kitties Blue for doing the Sunday Selfies for so long, just amazing!

Happy Valentine's Day!

 Feb 14th! Day of love, and all that romantic stuff, BOL! We don't have gal-pups as our Valentines, so we will ask our Mom, aka Petcretary to be the honorary Valentine!

Some of you might know this, our last two kitties whom you all knew as Pipo & Minko were both gotted on Feb 14th, way back in 2005! Minko became an Angel in 2017; Pipo joined him at the RB in November of 2020.

Here are some  Valentine images we have of them.

Angel Pipo

Those are our Valentine's Day Cards for you, and we'll show you some seasonal selfies tomorrow!

Here is some AI aided art work...

Dressed up for a pawrty, but still sitting in a doggy bed...

AI remembered another image and put them outside on the sidewalk...

I asked for a Valentine's Day background...

Because I thought they looked a bit 'girly', I asked to have them in tuxedos! Score! (But wow, they sure gained some excess weight with all those changes, BOL!!)

We wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day!

We are going to join the Caturday Saturday Art Blog hop, you can see all the other artworks by clicking on this caption.
