Yup, we are inbetween...between holidays that is, BOL!
Saturday the First of July was Canada Day...which petcretary being ancient remembers being Dominion Day! Canada was officially its own country on July 1, 1867. So Canada is now 156 years old...hmmm...we don't think we can count that high! Though petcretary says she doesn't think we can count at all, BOL!
Here are a couple of Canadian pups...
Anyways, then on the 4th, it will be Independence Day here in the United States...aka July The Fourth!
We'll see if we let petcretary put our festive gear on...else we'll have to post a rerun session.
Petcretary was a Firstie along with three others at Teddy's Teaser Class...and she was also the first right guesser, so she got some 'awards'.

| WOW! Four First Commenters on the Teaser post of June 27th and I WAS ONE OF THEM!!! WOO HOO! |
 |
| I was the FIRST RIGHT GUESSER on the Teaser of June 27, 2023 – YAY FOR ME! |
 |
| I was a First Commenter AND the First Right Guesser on the Teaser of June 27, 2023 – I had a DOUBLE BADGE DAY! |
Petcretary had a very itchy week...and still is...she has welts and bumps all over her torso, arms and legs, and a few on her neck...cause unknown as yet. She's been at the urgent care and in the ER, too...wow! The doc is perplexed...Lyme disease test was negative, and the rash is not typical of that. She might need to see a specialist...sigh...its her two weeks of vacation! To top that off the tick bite she had a couple weeks ago, got infected and so now she's on antibiotics for that trouble...and no, that isn't the cause of the rash, as she got that several days before the cellulitis. Always something.
This morning our peaceful village was invaded by all kinds of hot air balloons! We grumped and grr'ed at them...BOL!
We didn't see any this evening, likely the weather put a kabosh on that and the scheduled fireworks, too.
We did get some welcome rain last Sunday afternoon, and again Saturday evening...with more in the forecast. Hopefully our grass will green up...If there is enough rain all around that will help with the smoke in the air problems around here, outside smells like smoke! We sure hope all those devastating forest fires will get under control and be put out. Lets all do a rain dance, OK??!
Unfurbro the elder is on a plane right now, flying to Estonia for a conference with his work partners.
Unfurbro the younger is flying to Calgary in a few days for his vacation.
We heard recently about Valentine, and just yesterday about Poppy Q...becoming Angel Kitties, so we are watching petcretary making some more mementos to send to their families. Will make a post about that soon.
Hope all is quiet wherever you live so you won't have to be in fear of the loud booming of fireworks.

| We are hopping along with all the others who have selfies to show off. And The Kitties Blue are our wonderful hosts! Thanks to you all! |
Those are nice patriotic selfies. Those hot air balloons can give you a shock when they fly low overhead and you are not expecting them. I hope Petcretary is soon feeling better from her itchies and rash.
ReplyDeleteWe love your selfies. Those are cute bandanas, you pawtriotic pups!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to Petcretary for a swift recovery from all those itchies!
safe flights for your unfurbro brothers, and rain dance in progress now, we are doing one for us and added you to the dance. also fingers crossed and lots of POTP coming to Petcretary, it is so hard to find what causes these rashes. Bob has been fighting one for about 6 months now, it starts to leave and comes back. he has been to derm doc 3 times make that 4... tried every salve/cream on the market, OTC and RX
ReplyDeleteBig purrs to your mum! Hope she can get some answers to what is going on with her.
ReplyDeleteQuick recovery too!
We have had rain and will have it most of the week.
Purrs things go well for you!!!!
Purrs, Julie
Aww, you guys are adorably patriotic for our northern neighbor. I'm sure whatever Petcretary does for Tuesday will be equally pawsome. Well done. So sorry she's suffering from welts and itches. Hope they can figure it out and get her relief soon. Yay for catching some wet stuff. I'd trade the rest of summer for a rainy 4th so all the stupid people won't be able to set off noisy fireworks. Some loud boomers started last night and will likely continue until next weekend. Bah humbug.
ReplyDeleteYour Canada Day selfies are so cute. We have our paws crossed for Petcretary and hope she gets some relief from the rash soon.
ReplyDeleteWow, a very newsy post here ... but first, let us wish you a Happy (if belated) CANADA Day ... you two fur-balls look as handsome as ever, of course. And to your Mom, well wishes for "all" those bad things to go/go/go away. We do so appreciate her beautiful memory pictures made for our loved and lost friends, they are always special, so thank you, Ms Ingrid. Now, y'all take care, stay away from the smoky air ... enjoy the holidays ... get some "r and r".
ReplyDeleteGreat selfies, Benji and Dalton! You are a super Teaser winner, Petcretary! We hope the rash and itchies are going going gone. We've had the smoke from wildfires here on and off since May. The smoke came back yesterday and meowmie kept wanting to clean her eyeglass because everything looked so hazy. We hope you have a great Fourth, free of scary noises. Stay safe! xoxoxo, Bibi & Meep
ReplyDeleteOh noes!
ReplyDeleteWe hope the rash goes away quickly for your mom.
As we are in Metro Detroit, with Canada just across the river, both holidays are impawtant to our area.
Happy Canada Day! We hope your mom's rash clears up very soon.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry your petcretary is having so many medical issues. I pray she feels better soon. And I hope your brothers have safe travels. Congrats to petcretary for being so quick and clever on the teasers. Have a nice 4th! XO
ReplyDeleteGreat selfies. Mom was excited to be a firstie too this week.
ReplyDeleteI love your selfies, well done for Canada Day. When you make your badge we will add it to our next Sunday selfie to acknowledge dear Valentines loss.
ReplyDeleteCanadians make some cute dogs.
ReplyDeleteFabulous selfies! Happy Canada Day (belatedly) and Happy 4th of July! I hope the petcretary’s rash improves.
ReplyDeletethat are super catnada photos!!! we send lots of potp and hugs to your petcretary and we hope the special doc can help her ...
ReplyDeleteLulu: "You are looking sharp in your Canadian gear! I am hoping that there will not be too much in the way of banging and popping around here on the 4th, but I have a feeling I will be disappointed ..."
ReplyDeleteI hope you are getting clear of the problem you are troubled with right now. It sounds fearful. I know the works you create for the angel kitties with be beautiful. They always are.
