Already June!! Guest Selfie Sunday

If you would rather visit us in WordPress, you can visit by using this link: https://mrjackfrecklespipominko.wordpress.com/ There is open commenting allowed there. Sorry it doesn't work in this blog anymore. The posts here will be similar and duplicate this blogger/google blog...to facilitate commenting and ease of use. 

I have sent a note to google/blogger to try and revert our blog back to its original state but still no answer or solution. The link will not let me do it, even though its supposed to allow it. Tabbies sent me some help notes, and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts, but it was all the same things that  petcretary had already tried. The other issue of not receiving notifications is a sitewide blogger issue, and they say they are working on resolving it...but we won't hold our breath.

           ~~~~~~~~~

Petcretary went on a road trip this past week, to visit our Auntie (her sister), and transport some furniture to unfurbro-the-younger. 

So there wasn't much time for picture taking of us...though she did get some nice images of our doggy cousin, Eddie. So that is why we are having a Guest Selfie Sunday!

Hi, ya'll, I am Eddie, Dalton's Canadian Doggy Cousin.
I love to chew on sticks...

This is MY stick!
Teaching my stick how to behave like a...well, like a stick!
I gotta chew my stick, OK?
I might look if you have a treat...
Is that a treat for ME?
I really would love to go exploring in the neighbor's yard...but my Mum says its not allowed...and their three pups might not like me in there either. Shucks...
I had to stop and think about how to do these selfie things...

I think I nailed this happy in the evening sunshine selfie!
Eddie - My 'offurcial selfie'!

Basil had a Birthday on June First, but he is delaying his catabration, cause he is not feeling well at this time. So please go and wish him some POTP and Get Well Soon purrs and greetings.

Memorial Day, 2018 ~ Patriotic Selfies

We are late with our Sunday selfies, since petcretary was working this holiday weekend.
And she will be gone part of the upcoming week to take care of some 'business' with her sister and unfurbro-the-younger. (Pawppy will take care of us while she is gone.) And all in this super humid heat wave we are in at the moment. We went from grumbling about how cold and wet it was to now how hot and sticky it is...yup, that is how it goes when you live in Michigan...
Anypaws, we took a moment to make our selfies so that we could join in the Sunday Selfies as we try to do each week.
Memorial Day Selfies...to honor those who gave so much for the freedoms we enjoy and sometimes take for granted...a serious and contemplative day for all of us who enjoy those freedoms.
So our selfies are patriotic in style...but not flamboyant. We will save those for the July 4th holiday.




Our garden is quite pretty here and there, too:

Victoria Day Special Sunday Selfies!

It was a truly special weekend! There was a royal wedding, Justify won the Preakness...the second part towards a possible triple crown; The peeps (Janet & Tom), at Kitties Blue, who host the Sunday Selfies each week, (Thank you!), had their 45th wedding anniversary, (Congrats!), and it is a holiday weekend for Canadians - Victoria Day. Howevfur the weather has been trying to put dampers on all of this here, with clouds and rain and drizzle. So petcretary has still not made new pics for Victoria Day; hence we will dig into the archives, phew. glad we have some there. But Dalton wasn't here then so we will use a regular selfie for him, and maybe when the sun decides to come out of hiding, we will get some good ones to help him do his part in all the celebratory fun:)
Well, by now, it has become Monday, May 21, which means we can say Happy Victoria Day!
The rain held up enough to get a few pics of Dalton in Canada 'gear'. Pipo was sleeping so we will just stick with the 'repeats' for him, MOL!
I think my red bow tie is purrfect for a Canadian Holiday...
Though I am originally from Texas, I now can boast that I have dual dogazinship!

My Victoria Day Selfie


An 'oldie' from May, 2010
The sun came out briefly, just long enough for my Victoria Day Selfie:)
And we of course made some more cards:
Crockett catabrated his Gotcha Day
Miss Fitz catabrated her Birthday
Finley will dogabrate her Birthday on May 22
This Special Edition of The Sunday Selfies, is a blog hop, hosted by The Kitties Blue

Selfies Sent With Love For A Happy Mother's Day!

Hooray! Its Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day to Petcretary as that is what we call our Mom. though in the past we called her Growlmy or Meowmy, MOL/BOL!
She loves us, takes care of us, cleans up after us and makes sure we get the yummiest noms...and of course the healthiest, Mmmm!
We love her, though sometimes we make grrs and hisses if we feel naughty. And we might even do naughty things...but since she loves us, she forgives us:)
So we being boys, decided it would be ok to sit in the blooms to honor her. Afterall, don't men give flowers to their beaus?

I am glad that I have my own forever mom, now! Thanks Petcretary!

See that twinkle in my eye, Petcretary? Thats just for you, my Mom, from the days of my kittenhood till now and forever!

We made a card to give to her too...
We had lots of rain the past few days, and if we were ducks we would be quacking with glee, but we are not, cause we can't go outside...well Dalton can't though he has to go there to do that privacy stuff...I, Pipo am a kitty so I get to use that box, MOL!
(Tabbies skip down to the next section...)
But in the rain outside I don't see as many critters or burds at the feeders. However sometimes its very busy there: Cardinals, Orioles, Gold Finches; Purple Finches, Chipping sparrows, Field Sparrows, Fox Sparrows, White crowned sparrows, Downy woodpeckers, Hairy woodpeckers, Red Bellied woodpeckers, Northern Flickers, Chickadees, Nuthatches, Tufted Titmouse, Mourning Doves, Starlings, Grackles, Cowbirds, Catbirds, Redwinged blackbirds,Robins, Wrens, Blue Jays, Bluebirds and even Indigo Buntings, Rose Breasted Grosbeaks, Sometimes there are crows around, and we hear owls and hawks, but they have not tried to raid our bird areas as far as we know. In the field across the street there may be flocks of geese or sometimes sandhill cranes. Herons frequent the ponds and creek nearby. In our back area where there are more trees, shrubbery and thickets, there are sometimes pileated woodpeckers. The hummingbirds are here now too, but they have not been at our feeders too much. Some birds frequent the feeders more than others, and those starlings and similar birds are a nuisance according to petcretary. They can decimate the suet cakes and the seeds in a flash:(
Thanks petcretary, for providing for them and letting me have such pawsome burd channel! (Sorry Tabbies!)
Squirrels and chipmunks are fun to watch too. Dalton doesn't go nutzo about them like MJF did, at least he doesn't seem to react to the word nor does he want to come and look out the window to see them stealing the seeds...they can't get into the feeders since they can't climb the stovepipe around the poles...and the tree feeder has a shut down perch. So they can only steal the dropped seeds. But it doesn't stop them from trying, MOL!

Petcretary has to be at her work this Mother's Day...she will be helping to look after the many Moms, Grannies and Aunties of others, so we think that is OK that we have to share her, don't you think so too?!
We also made some more cards for others.
