Almost Christmas! Sunday Selfies And Our Card For Our Furends

Wow, its the Sunday before Christmas...the eve of Christmas Eve, MOL!
Petcretary has been busy working and fulfilling other obligations that do not have anything to do with us...sheesh. Then...she saw the cutest 7 month old terrier mixed puppy at a local shelter. He was featured in an article in our local 'Shopper News'. A scruffy looking wirey hairy creature, and petcretary had all she could do to not go right there and claim him to be a brofur for me...even pawppy thought he was a sweetie. Howevfur, well, we don't want to upset Pipo with another canine here, and this pup was not yet observed around kitties...so, well, we sure hope he will find a great forever home before Christmas, we know that is his wish, and we can add our woofs, purrs and pawyers to that effect. Maybe after the holidays when petcretary is not working, she can check there to see if he is still there and then have a discussion with pawppy...hmmm...

Still no word on the whereabouts of the stolen goods, nor the apprehension of the thieves. In a nearby city, there have been several such incidents as here, but the perpetrators are not at all matching the description that pawppy had. So another bunch of naughty young men at loose. What is with peeps these days? Grrr and hisses.

It seems we will have a green Christmas here, this week we had lots of dreary wet weather and some sunny days here and there. The temps have been in the low 40's during the day, going back to freezing temps at night, but no snow. We may have a few flakes tonight we are told, but so far have not seen any.

Petcretary is working this weekend, then she has off Christmas Eve, has to work on Christmas and then she will be off until after New Years. She really doesn't mind working on a holiday, though she does regret that she has to abandon the family for a while...but her residents at the nursing home need her a lot more than us:)
She is looking forward to that  nice little vacation, so she can relax and play with us:)
She hopes that the weather will not make her have to do work outside - as in shoveling snow...even with pawppy using the snow thrower machine, the shovel still needs to be used...and trails made into the yard areas for me, Dalton to do my privacy pawlease. BOL!
Oh and some trails made to the bird feeders so we can have bird and varmint TV channels in good working order!

Here are our selfies for this special Sunday, followed by our card which we have sent out via the interweb threads. If you did not get our card that way, feel free to snag it now. (Unfortunately we had to use an online web site with premade templates to make our card this year, since petcretary just has not been able to properly master that photoediting program called gimp...it makes her brain limp! MOL/BOL!) But its kind of pretty and we think it will do just fine! We even resorted to using that site to try and make cards for others since we felt so bad about not being able to do them at all.

Waiting...for the elusive sunbeams...and for Christmas!

There *was* snow, but its al gone now, so my tootsies won't freeze, BOL!

A Christmas Card: From our den to yours!! Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas!

Eddie, My doggy cousin had a birthday, whoot, I am older than him, BOL!

Petcretary's rather lame attempt at the new (GIMP)picture editing software...

This is Beardsley, the sweet doggy that belongs to a friend of petcretary.

Christmastime Is Close ~ Sunday Selfies

Well, we managed to get some pictures on to this loaned confuser, (er, computer...), and so now we can show you some of our Christmastime selfies. Next week we will post our card that petcretary helped us make.
Unfortunately we still can't do much about making cards for our furends from their images...at least not until petcretary can figure out how to get them onto our picture editing program...and when she knows how it works, MOL/BOL! Its called Gimp, (for Linux),  in case any of you tech-heads wish to know to give her any advice! Hah! Even tech-head-unfurbro-the-elder doesn't use it himself...sheesh!

So here we are!

We are in  the season of Christmas, and hopping along with the Kitties Blue, who host this feature each week. Thanks so much! Its a lot of fun!

Almost Selfies With SantaPaws

Recently, before the bad stuff happened here, we had gone to see SantaPaws. We asked Pawppy to scan those pictures, and then he sent them to our IPad. So we are using those today as our (sort of) selfies.
The police have not been able thus far to find our stolen items. But we remain hopeful. Unfurbro-the-elder has lent petcretary an unused laptop he had...but she will need to get it up and running before she can make good use of it. It has a different operating system on it than she is used to...so she will have to learn some new things...but that is good, right? Keeps a brain sharp to add new learning into it. MOL/BOL!
Anypaws, here are our so called SantaPaws selfies for this week; sorry the images need to be clicked to enlarge them as on this IPad, I cannot scroll through my draft unless I keep them small. But hey, at least we are here!

We are hopping with The KittiesBlue, the  hosts of this weekly feature.

Making Do Selfies

We are trying hard to get ourselves back to feeling as normal as we can under the circumstances. Still no word about the whereabouts of the home invaders or the stolen computers.
Petcretary tried to put the images on her camera to the IPad, but so far she hasn’t gotten them to upload, even though we have a camera to IPad lightening cord. Learning new things is hard sometimes, LOL!

All the snow and ice we had pictures of are on that SD card...and including pictures of Dalton. So for now we will post an old one of him in the snow, but he isn’t sporting his new winter gear. Oh well. And Pipo is glad we are not putting a camera in his face right now, MOL! But I did find an old one displaying his thoughts about us not being able to send our cards, let alone make new ones.
Shucks...

So today our post will just be short and we will get on with other things. Like finding receipts and notifications of things we bought that were stolen to send to the insurance dudes...

Super Big Troubles At Our Den

We have to report to all of you out there in blogville that we are not able to send you our cards, and make new ones right now. There were some  ready to send, but alas, we have no access to them, since our home was broken into and the computer was stolen. This kind of thing cannot be done on petcretary’s IPad, sadly. We can contact you and read your blogs and comment, but we cannot make posts with pictures. So we might do a bunch of flashbacks. Sigh.

(We will try to catch up on our commenting in this time of no card-making...goodness knows we are way behind...)

We are all fine, other than feeling violated and shook up.

The Christmas cards will have  to go by the wayside too, since we cannot make any. Other than finding a stock card, which we do not like to do.

Please  just keep us in your thoughts, and know we are well, but just not in our normal situation.

We most likely will have to miss the Sunday Selfies, too...unless we can figure out how to post a flashback. The IPad is handy, but it doesn’t have the capabilities of the laptop:(

Thank you all for understanding.

Thanksgiving Weekend Sunday Selfies

Well, petcretary was here all day on Thanksgiving, but she had no time to make a blog post for us. We did get some yummy bits of that feast she made, Mmmm! Both our unfurbros were here too. Plenty of laps for Pipo! And lots of good walks for Dalton. It was quite cold on the day before Thanksgiving, and also on Thanksgiving, so Dalton wore his warm winter gear as did the peeps he pulled for the whole two miles, BOL! He was evfur so grateful for that warm coat:)
Petcretary kind of cheated and made some old selfies into new pictures...so well, at least we did not have to endure clothes and camera time, Tee-hee!

Today and Saturday she had to work...back to normal here!And quiet too, the unfurbros have gone back to their own doings.
Last Nov 14th, we attended Dezi's Birthday/Gotcha Day pawrty.

Her Gotcha day was officially the 22nd, but they combined the events. It was a fun pawrty! And Dezi sent us this card:

We went there in masks, because it was a masquerade pawrty:)

We also were singing at her pawrty and we were in the band too.

She sure does throw fine and fun affairs! (Well, her sisfur, Raena planned it and organized it too...). Thanks for doing that, gals!
By the way, their Mommy, isn't feeling too good, maybe you could all purr hard fur her, and send her some POTP and pawyers, too.

~~~

We made some cards, too:

Dezi

This next card is a wee bit early, but tomorrow is Sawyer's Gotcha Day, (He is from the family of our good blogging furends, who are the weekly hosts of our blog hop of Sunday Selfies!), so we made him a card too:

Sawyer

We are hopping in the 'furmouse' weekly feature of the Sunday Selfies, hosted by The Kitties Blue. Thanks so much for keeping this blog hop going for SO long!!

I'm A Good Boy ~ Or: What To Do When Boredom Strikes

I am resting, NOT hanging my head in shame...

Yup, its been a week of indoor time to the max, rain, snow even some sleet and cold dank skies. Not the kind of conditions conducive to picture taking or going outside either. So I was bored. Really bored. Or spiteful that Petcretary took my enclosed den away?
The other day, when the only issue was a bit of snow...petcretary got up and when she came down she found this:

Sheesh, do you see that title, Petcretary? Get Fat...So I ate the Why part, BOL!! Cause we all know eating the yummy stuff that happens around the holidays is so yummy and delicious, that who can resist??!
But for some reason she was not too happy and I could see bad thoughts rumbling around in her head, because even though I spared her the part about feeling guilty for issues of food, etc, she said it was not what she needed after getting up late and now she had to clean that all up before she went to work. And that book was there long before I even came to this den!
Sheesh,  peeps are not evfur happy no matter how we try to help them...
And Pipo was living up to his name of Mr Peeps, one of the  nicknames he has had from the time of his kittenhood...Pipo-Beepo and Mr Peeps.

I see you , Dalton...petcretary will not be amused...

He watched from his peekaboo spot...and peeped over the chair top to watch what I was doing...and I am sure he was smirking to himself...

Nope...she will not...

She will be ready to grumble loudly...

But...well, you'll have to find out for yourself, Tee-hee...

Well, you know what?
I got to go and see Santa Paws this Saturday. I was first and I told him I was a good pup, and I did not wee-wee on him either...or growl at that big red jolly lap...and I even wore my own Santa Paws hat. Pipo did not allow that on his own head...so that Pipo had no reason to purr anything about me into Santa Paws ear when he got to sit on that big warm soft lap. Why, he positively was cuddling with him, a stranger! Sheesh, I only cuddle like that with those whom I truly know and trust. Don't the peeps always say: Beware of strangers??!
(Petcretary says we cannot yet show you those pics, cause well, we have not even had Thanksgiving yet!)
So after that fracas of the book destruction and censoring I was so glad to find a minute of sunpuddle time:

I got me a sunpuddle cause I *am* a good boy!

And therefore this is my 'So There Selfie'!

We want to shout out a Happy Birthday to our Uncle, he is Pawppy's older brother. His special day is always around Thanksgiving, some years it even falls on that day; isn't that fun?!

We apologize for not visiting you all regularly again...so much to do, so little time...sigh...but we'll come by when we can. This week will really be one of hit and miss. Hope we don't miss too much. We love you all!
Here are the cards we have to show you this week...including one we forgot to post last time..
