Pre-Pirate Day Remembrances and a Pretty Guest Selfie

 Tomorrow is Talk Like a Pirate Day.

We thought it would be fun to revisit a few of our 'furbears' Pirate Day pictures/selfies.

And to what your appetites:

Ahoy!!
Our shed got put together yesterday! Hooray! It took our unfurbros with a wee bit of motherly help, spotting the ladder duties; about 6 1/2 hours to do that job! So *they* took them out to dinner for a job well done.Of course they didn't bring us any doggy bags, we ate our regular dinner. Ahhh well, it was fun to snoopervise them while they worked. 

Petcretary didn't think to get any pics, until it was almost done...then she noted a photo-bombing butterfly! That butterfly was flitting around most of the afternoon, seemingly quite partial to the marigolds.



Note the Photo-bomber!

All done...and awaiting the lawn mower and the snow thrower to be residing in there, way closer to the house than in the past.

Petcretary thinks this is a Great Spangled Fritillaries (Speyeria cybele) Butterfly

Sure is a pretty one! Firstt time *she's* seen this species.

 We often have to say our goodbyes as we mourn the  losses of our pets, but when we lose the peeps that write for us, in other words the peeps behind the scenes, usually; or their family members, well, that hurts our hearts so much more.

 Recently we all felt very sad when the well known and loved Miss Ellen and Miss Carole lost dear members of their families.

Miss Ann of Zoolatry kindly made these badges to help us remember them, please leave your comforting words for them if you have not already done so, just click on the names under the badges.

  7. You as pirates is totally AWESOME (we LOVE the angels too) and that is one terrific shed. We need a new one. The old metal one's doors don't work any more and Mom is hoping the roof lasts one more winter (it is on the agenda for next summer) your unfur bro did a terrific job! Give your Peeps doggy kisses and let them know they came from us! Purrs Marv
