Petcretary's Busy Week Guest Selfies On A Sunday

Petcretary has been really busy with her work, (Several of the little old peeps she helps to care for have passed away and some are getting ready to make that journey...); taking her car to the body shop, (For a fix of an embarrassing moment...sigh...), (Hey maybe her van should have done a before and after selfie, MOL/BOL!); chores in the yard and many other things that take her away from us and visiting our blogging furends.

So if you have been missing us, realize that we would love to be visiting and mewing or woofing in your posts...but the days are not long enough!

Petcretary has been known to spend an evening reading through one blogger's posts and even commenting on most of those...but now she is so far behind, that she will just pick up where she is in the present time. She may make a brief perusal of your posts to make sure she didn't let us miss really impawrtant things, but , well...we think you will understand.

We love and miss you all! Maybe by Christmas we will get caught up...but wait, then we will be way busy with all of that! MOL/BOL!

So this week, we will show you a few of the guest selfies that were made in the Meijer Gardens a while back. Good thing, because petcretary did not once use her camera this past week.

Somehow she did find/make time to make some cards for others...which of course takes us away from you all, too...but that is OK, we know you like to get them when you have days that are special.

At the bottom of these waterfalls in the quieter pools, and other similar watery features, these amphibians showed themselves for you all to enjoy...or not! MOL/BOL!

Later petcretary and her friends strolled by the wetlands and these turtles obliged for the camera, too:)

(Shut your eyes, OK, Tabbies?!)

Turtle has a garland...

It doesn't seem to bother him/her...

Turtle Selfie!

Its my seaweed garland, and I like it, OK?!

Maybe I should put this piece of vegetation on me for a garland fashion statement too...

We think we need to see a bright spot from the wetlands, too!

Here are the cards we helped petcretary make this week:

Yin & Yang had their Gotcha Day.

Phenny turns, two, today!

Einstein celebrates his fourth Birthday, today, also!

We are in the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop, Hosted by The Kitties Blue.

Long Weekend Sunday Selfies With Guests!

Its a long weekend, Labor Day! That will be tomorrow...and petcretary is off, Hooray! But, she had to work yesterday, and she is working today, too... She says she has to work to afford the noms we eat, BOL/MOL!!
But its worth it:)
We made some simple selfies for you this week...

There is lots of action outside my big window.

I sure wonder what it might be like to be out there on the prowl?!

Yes, I sure do...

Excuse me petcretary? You need a selfie? Whatevfur...

Now I'll go back to musing all about the things I could be doing out there in the yard.

Dalton was outside for his selfies.

Hi there!

Do you need me for something?

Oh a selfie? But wait...

There is something terribly interesting here.

I tried to taste it...but it was quite blech!

This hornworm better not try to eat petcretary's tomatoes...and it even was clefur enough to take a selfie! BOL!

BOL, I will take my selfie now...

Maybe there might be more stuff to sniff out by the fence.

Like this neato Dragonfly!

Dahlias can take selfies? Oh MY!!

We helped petcretary make cards...

Parsley, who is Basil's brofur, had a birthday on Aug 31st.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This selfie Sunday blog is dedicated to the memory of Siddhartha Henry-Heintje, a well loved kitty and he loved to make selfies each week.
All of us here in the land of Blogville were saddened to learn that one of our dear furends received angel wings, and went to live in PureSummerland.
Purrince Siddhartha was having severe health issues, and even though he was only 4 years old, he was not able to deal with his declining health...so he graduated to the Heavenly Realms, and now is healthy, strong and forever young.
We send huge hugs and much love to his LadyMom, SherriEllen. You can visit in his blog, if you have not had a chance yet.
We couldn't decide how to portray Siddhartha, so we made three memento-memorial cards...

We are hopping with our Selfies, along with Kitties Blue and many others.

Dalton Had His Special Day and Sunday Selfies

I am officially two! Whoo-hoo!

Last year about this time there was this big mess of heavy rain, floods and way too strong winds. It was the storm called Hurricane Harvey, and I hope to nevfur experience anything like that again, nor anyone I know. It was just pawful. I ended up in a shelter in Houston, but my days there were numbered. Yikes. But some kind souls from Michigan where I now live came and took all kinds of us furry ones into a big truck and brought us all to Michigan, where we were in foster care until various rescue groups could take us in. A nice lady from the Battle Creek, Michigan, ROAR group took me into her care. There were lots of other dogs and kitties there. One day I was crated and taken to a pet shop, where there was an adoption event happening. (There is also an active FB site for this group)
This other lady saw me in that crate being taken into the store...and she saw my huge ears and the curiosity I had about what was happening next in my little doggy life. She asked the ROAR lady what kind of pup I was, and other questions, too. She *just had* to have me she was thinking. So she got out a little black thing from her pocket and she was talking excitedly to someone. She was smiling, too. Then she left...and I felt sad and worried. There were some other peeps who came and looked at me and my sheltermates. It was noisy in there, cause we were all barking...look at me, look at ME! I think we knew we might meet our new Mom or Dad there, cause we didn't have anyone to call our own anymore...since most of us knew such things existed from before that awful disaster of that hurricane in Texas...
And then...yes! I saw that lady again! She also had a bigger-than-me doggy with her. Hey, I thought she wanted me?! Oh, then I realized she had brought her own pup with her, he had a name, MrJackFreckles. He looked similar to me, but he was mostly white and looked furry elderly. But his tail was wagging and he was trying to sniff me. Well, we all went outside and I got to sniff him! BOL! But then I got all scared and worried and I piddled...and wee wee-ed...but even so I still tried to be brave and I smiled my doggy smile at that lady and the other dog, MJF. MJF almost lifted his leg and piddled on me, but that lady moved him away...BOL! He must have been trying to mark me as his! Oopsie...he tried to hump me too...but that lady pulled him off and she scolded him...yikes! But I guess its just some doggy;s way of staking a claim or being dominant. Its OK, MJF, I won't try to get the better of you, I just want to live in a real home again with a dog-mom and a dog-dad. And maybe a brofur like you:)
So the lady filled out some papers, but I was not allowed to go home with her that day. Shucks.
But in a few days, my ROAR lady talked on her little black thing from her pocket...and a few days after that, I got crated yet again...and had to drive for 887 miles and hours to another house. It was already almost dark...but I could smell something rather faintly furmiliar...Hey, this is the den of MJF! And *that* lady!!
And then out of excitement, I widdled all over the sidewalk! BOL!
Then we went up some steps and into the big house. Yes, fur sure this was MJF's den, and there he was! I wiggled and waggled!
But...OMD...there was a man there. And a cat! A cat??! So I got all scared and put my ears back and my wee stumpy tail close to my body and widdled on the carpet...
Oh, the lady there said, don't worry, we have carpet cleaner here...lots of it! BOL!
And then the ROAR lady gave me to the arms of the other lady. She said, 'I am your new Mom, and I am now known as petcretary...or growlmy as MJF used to call me.'
'The kitty you saw is Pipo...he'll be OK, if you don't pester or chase him...'
So now I have been in this den for 11 months. Almost a year. The peeps that rescued me from the mess in Texas did not know when I was born, but the vets there thought I was a young-man-pup of about a year.
So...petcretary thought August 20, 2016 would be my birthday, cause the hurricane was about that time a year later.
So...
Now I am two!
I still am mostly scared of my pawppy as I call him, cause MJF told me that was how he was called...and I still give that Pipo wide berth. I don't chase him, but he still wants to whap me if I try to sniff him. I still widdle in the house...but not as often as when I first got here. I gained some weight and look a lot healthier too cause I get to eat really yummy and healthy vittles, I don't have to scrounge or scavenge like when I was still in Texas.
Petcretary says I have issues and maybe doggy PTSD...but she hasn't and won't give up on me. She loves me! Pawppy says he loves me too...I am sorry pawppy that I am still so scared and not trusting you, Somewhere I had some bad man in my little doggy life...maybe when I get a lot older I might trust you more. I know you hope so.
I had to say goodby to my newfound brofur, MJF back in Feb, and I really miss him. Maybe someday I might get another doggy brofur. But petcretary says not anytime soon, she wants me to be more confident and relaxed...whatevfur, Petcretary, whatevfur!

Anypaws, as I started woofing, I had a birthday...and a dogabration, too!
Presents of toys and treats, and lots of attention. It was heaps of fun, and I sure hope I can have lots more of these kinds of special days. Petcretary told me, soon, in a little over a month, it will be my Gotcha Day, whatevfur that might be, BOL! I wonder if they are as exciting as birthdays??
