Sunday Selfies With Blogville Sadness

 We are once again doing our Sunday Selfies. These pictures are about a month old, when our grass was not brown and crunchy. Though over the past week we've had about 5 inches of total rainfall, as measured in our gauges. We had half a day of drizzle, and several heavy downpours. At least we didn't have severe weather.

A distracted pair trying to make an ussie, BOL!

While this image is only a month old, Benji sure looks very 'puppy-ish' here, must have been the lighting.

Dalton in a rare 'ears up' image...sorry your ear got cut off, they are so tall, BOL!

 

This past Tuesday at Teddy's Teaser's Class, once again petcretary was first in the classroom, along with three others...kind of a door jam, LOL!

So she got this 'badge', which we know you've seen before, LOL!

I was one of FOUR First Commenters on the Teaser post of July 5, 2022!!!
Here was the Teaser image, needing to be guessed.

This is Dismals Canyon, in Phil Campbell, Alabama !!   More info?   CLICK HERE

And after some snooping around the interwebs, Petcretary guessed the spot correctly. A Double Firstie, 2 weeks in a row!! So she got this badge as well:
I was a DOUBLE FIRSTIE on the Teaser Post of July 5, 2022! I was one of FOUR FIRST COMMENTERS AND I was also the FIRST RIGHT GUESSER….lucky me!

As aforementioned, Blogville is sad this weekend, as one of the most loved kitty ladies has earned her Angel Wings, and now lives at the RB. Understandably her family is devastated,, and they miss her so very much. She would have been 20 in November...incidentally her birthday and her Grannie's Birthday are the same as petcretary's BD. Imagine that!

Little Binky. 11-13-2002 ~ 7-07-2022

Though we may be sad, we still want to participate in the fun weekly feature as hosted faithfully each week, by the Kitties Blue, from The Cat On My Head. Thanks so much for always hosting!

  6. A sweet usie, guys. Yes, we were so crestfallen to learn of Binky's trip to the Bridge. We offered our condolences to her Granny. Binky may be gone, but she will never be forgotten 💔
    P.S. If you want crunchy, come to the Mile High. We've been broiling under this massive heat dome with no rain in sight. 🥵

  13. We're all gonna miss Binkie. And 11/13 are also my grandma's birthday. Must be a good day. ;)

    And 5 inches in a week? That's more than Lubbock has gotten all year we think.

    1. And believe it or not most our yard is still all crunchy and brown....while the parts in the shade are growing like crazy...and the weather peeps say most of our region is close to being in a moderate to severe drought. Something doesn't sound right...but when you look at the rain radar when we get it, some places get dumped on and others get nothing.

  15. Lulu: "Our grass is mostly crunchy and brown, too! I think our Dada has given up on watering it."
    Java Bean: "It's not so bad. More dirt to dig in."
    Charlee: "We were very sorry to say goodbye to Little Binky."
    Chaplin: "Yes, she has been our friend forever. I'm sure Dennis and the gang gave her a nice welcome over the Rainbow Bridge!"

  17. In the usually rainy Belgium, it has stopped to rain ! Probably on strike. Your selfies are very nice ! It's sad to say good bye to a pet which shared your life for so long ! For me grieving is the same for my pet or now my husband, only an animal lover can understand that ! Arthur my last cat also lived for nearly 20 years !
