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.

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.

In Memory Of Boris

 Recently Boris from Two Crazy Cockers sadly left for the Rainbow Bridge after a sudden and brief illness.

I made two mementos, sometimes it's hard to decide which one I like better, so I will let miss Dawn decide...

If you would, it would be nice to add your words of comfort and sympathy to Dawn, his Mom, as she not only has to bear this sad loss, she also deals with ailing parents.

There are so many beautiful images of Boris and his brofur, Eko, and they are so awe-worthy, I am adding this post to the Awe Monday Blog hop.

Getting Ready For Valentine's Day

 Next Saturday is Feb 14th, aka Valentine's Day.

So we are getting ready for the day of love...

Not much happening here, other than cold cold and more cold, with snow added for extra effect. Though thankfully not as much as in precious weeks. Wed night into Thursday night we did have sleet and freezing rain...of course petcretry had chosen Thursday as her work day, go figure. Well, she did get back and forth, safely...and slowly! And when the sun decided to show up some of the days, she cleared a lot of snow and ice, and even a path into the grass to make our business trips outside easier, esp for short legged Dalton. He'd been using the sidewalk...eeuuwwwww!

Anyways, here are our getting ready for Valentine's Day selfies:

This image was so dark, *she* had to do some editing slo you could see Benji's eyes!

Sheesh!

I bring you all my love!

Since I don't have a Valentine, I will just hug this heart!

Petcretary got us this toy from Chewy...so far it has not been destroyed, BOL!

We are saving it for our Valentine, but who knows who that will be, since we don't have any, other than our pawrents, BOL!!

We are hopping along with many other selfies at The Cat On My Head - The Mom of all those kitties there, needs purrs, POTP and Pawyers, as she has a bad infection in her hand...

Horsey!!

We got a new toy from Chewy...it's a horse! I, Benji like to play tug of war with it, and its fun to carry around, too. But it is a wee bit too small to ride on, BOL! Dalton sadly Has got no clue what to do with it...he rarely plays with toys, except those treat puzzle toys, he is good at those. Petcretary. thinks he must have had a really awful life before coming here, since he doens't know how to play, though he's good at playing with me...we play bitey face and who can shove who the hardest...and playing chase is a good game too. 

The weather story continues with 'shovelable' snow every day.And some days of wind chill warnings for -15 to -20F. Brrr Friday it felt warmish in the afternoon because the sun was shining, though all the snow on the sidewalk had ice under it because the sunbeams warmed it up, but when the sun moved and those areas were in the shade, watch out! So out came the sand/salt mixture on those places, and we hope for no more snow for the rest of the winter, yup, as if. And of course the plow came by...As of publishing time, It's -3F...at least it is not snowing here...

The birdies are still as hungry as ever! Have gone through three 20 lb bags of sunflower seeds in only a couple weeks! Not to mention the other food which comes in 10 pound bags...that's going almost as fast.

This horse needs to grow up bigger so I can ride on it!

Hey, who said Horsey could ride on me?

When you're not looking petcretary I might do my surgical procedures on it to de-squeak it...

This is fun to carry around, by the 'reins'...

We're hopping along with all the other Sunday Selfies at The Cat On My Head!

Selfies During Fern's Ravages...

 That monstrous storm known as Fern is raging all over the country, and it has just started to hit our area too, though we are only getting snow, maybe 4-6 inches...through tonight and some more on Monday. So we will just endure it, cause we are glad that we are not going to have freezing rain, it's way too cold for rain. Friday night around 8 pm when petcretary got home from errands, it was -13F...when she got up in the middle of the night it was -16F, and when pawppy got up it was -19F. Talk about BRRRRR! Saturday's high was 8F...and with no wind it almost seemed warmish, BOL! We are just going out to do business and then we hurry back into the warm house. 

Petcretary has shovelled snow every day this past week, except Friday!, each day it seemed there was more than what she's cleaned up the day before...does that mean that today, (Sunday) there'll be an even deeper load? Sheesh. Of course today, Sunday, is the day she's scheduled to work...hasn't been there in the last ten days, so of course Murphy's law is finding the perfect day to mess things up! At least she won't have to be back there till Feb 5...who knows what that day will bring weather wise!

The birds are devouring the feeder offerings very quickly, *she* has never seen bird food disappear this fast ever since she started feeding them so many years ago. So she got two more suet feeders so the various species of birds that love that stuff can all have a better chance at getting some. We commonly have three kinds of woodpeckers, chickadees, titmouse, wrens, nuthatches that like suet. Sometimes there are the huge pileated woodpeckers and rarely a redheaded one. Of course we have all kinds of sparrows, finches, cardinals, juncos,  bluejays, and great flocks of mourning doves. We'll leave all the suet up until the starlings come back...they'll shove other birds out of the way and eat a whole suet cake in a matter of hours, same with mealworms. Even the cowbirds don't gobble the food as fast as the starlings.

We sure hope and pray that all our blogging friends stay safe and warm during this nasty and scary storm.

Around 8pm, Jan 23rd (It looks like -8, but if you enlarge it you can see -13...

Around 4am, Jan 24th; Baby It's Cold Outside!

Will someone play ball with me, I'm so bored when I can't be outside to patrol the yard and bark at everything...

All this staying indoor stuff, is enough to drive a pup to drinking...

We had to sadly say goodby to a dear blogging friend's cat, Sienna. She was part of the Dash Kitten's Crew. What is doubly sad is that she lost Thomas not that long ago. Petcretary made this memento to honor her memory.

Sienna, from Dash Kitten
