Day 652: Free Fur All Friday

Lots going on here since I am participatin in the GABE! Please be sure and visit my post to win fabulous prizes!!! The Bleu is participatin, teu... so you can also visit the Bleu's post to win fabulous prizes!!!

Those of you who know me know that in the Book of Luke... the most delicious (Insert the Mom's adjective here: effective) treat ever is the Berry Treat.

And so part of our prize package is a bag of your very own tasty treats, as well as reasons to sit-shake-high five-down-roll over / spit pecan out / stop doin what you're doin and come in from outside / take a really nice photo lookin like you really love your the Mom (or other photo taker as your case may be).

I cannot believe that the Nutro people do not contact me... on a counta I have turned countless dogs into addicts (fanks to the Aunt Karen... who got me strung out on these tasty nuggets at Easter last year!!!) and I would make the very best spokes dog!!!

Speakin of swappin the Pecans for the Berry Treats... Well, wait a minute. I should preface this by sayin out loud what we all been sayin in private if not just in our own heads....

My the Mom is... sweet. She is kind. She loves me and the Bleu like nobody's business. She put the us firty million light years before the herself. And if she ever get upset wif us for five seconds, she will spend five fousand hours makin it up to us (on a counta we are sensitive)...

But she is a little nutty and she diary and document some of the nuttiest fings. And now I present Exhibit "Mar 28 - 31":

Yep, might be little hard to see in pitcher... but them is the Luke's daily bounty for last four days of March! Just sayin.

And here I am out lookin for some more. Grassy part of yard yield bout twenty to twenty-five percent of buried pecans.

Landscape bed what is newly mulched has high yield, on a counta it has all ways offered "cover" for the squirrel burial practices.

And since the Mom is not fond of the dirt on my chin... and therefore she does discourage the Luke dis-burial practices... I change subject!

This is my hot pink azalea on Sunday:

And here she is in even fuller beauty yesterday!

Now I would be remiss if I didn't remind you of how cute I am!

I'm a Love Bug Love Muffin. I am! Just sayin.

Day 660: Smatterin Of My Saturday

I love ever single fing about a Saturday... and most especially freedom to explore and investigate my territory!

Yeah, beyond you will see the kissin frogs... long story those two have... but for now, I will tell you that the Mom needs to put them back where they have some privacy!

And while I'm off diggin up pecans (much to the Mom's dismay)...

The Bleu is showin off how irresistably cute he is!

Even I agree... Big Boy is lovable. He got the soft fuzzy hairs. And he sweet.

That what make him attractive... but what make him special is he sense of humor! Big Boy is hilarious. He silly. He comical. He a mess! 

And on a seasonal note, my azalea shares 50% of her blooms wif the ground. Kinda sad.

But on brighter note, most all fings in back yard are green and frivin...

Supply of buried pecans is all most infinite. And me and the Mom work frew the motions ever single day, keepin me intuned to fact that my Mission is to deliver the goods to the her, not to eat or swaller em.

Whshhhhhhhew. Some time Mission is exhaustin!

Day 533: Latitude: 29°45'48"N, Longitude: 95°21'48"W SNOW DAY!

*** Note/Disclaimer: This is not going to be an exciting post for all of you who get a lot of snow, but I'm in Houston, Texas... and my the Mom gets VERY excited to see a single snow flake! This post (lame as it may be) is dedicated to her... and to this historic day. You see, this is the earliest day in history that Houston has ever had more than a trace of snow... and a rarity to receive measurable amounts in back-to-back years!***


It snow real hard at the factory, but it had only started snowin just a little here when she got home and jubilantly insisted that me and also the Bleu go out in the yard for fun and photos.

It was pretty chilly outside, so I did my business quick and charged right back to the inside! (If you look closely, you can see a few flakes on my back!).

My back yard is shaded by 60 year old trees, so we didn't get a lot of accumulation... but yard behind me is full of swimmin pool and no trees, so there you can see it snowin!

And ok, here is the Bleu... I all ways say he slow, but the Mom get mad and say "not in the head, Luke... he just relax and casual and he live and love life in a different way!"... but any way, he would sit or stand or lay out there in the snow all day. Just sayin.

The Mom is persistant about wantin the Christmas Card photo, and here is the best we give her... I'm tellin you now so that when it comes in the mail, you know who the heck it from! Ain't recognizable other wise.

The Mom fink she crafty and in genius and she have treats in one hand and camera in other... and she cajole me... and this is best she can do! It sad... really it is.

Here is me lookin out on what little bit is stickin from under the big (and little) tree cover...

And then later, me and the Bleu carefully stayin in the non-snow covered section of the yard!

We don't want to mess it up... OR get our footsies cold. Just sayin.

Here I am cruisin the brick walk on the side of the house... Plants are a droopin from the snow. (Again, I know this is big yawn for most of you!!!)

It snow from about 10am until about 8pm, and it was great to just enjoy the day wif the Mom... whether we out tryin to score berry treat from her on the outside... or whether we on the inside, cheek-to-cheek, lookin at the outside! I also like it when the Mom got that special skip in her step! Just sayin.

The Bleu, he do go to bed earlier than the me... so here I am alone... lookin for pecans!

Found one! I am not too hip on lookin for them in the snow, but I am grateful that the Mom got out yesterday and raked up all the leaves and twigs and sticks... so that the snow would be prettier! Side benefit is that the pecans are all out layin here like it one big nutty convenience store!

More snow pitchers tomorrow! I know it's a yawn-fest for ALL of you readin this pitiful blog... but it's pretty excitin for all US at Latitude: 29° 45' 48 N, Longitude: 95° 21' 48 W!!!!!
I thought a SNOW DAY was when the Mom stay home wif you either on a count of the actual weather or by way and play of hooky... so imagine my surprise when my the Mom go to work this mornin full well knowin it gonna snow today!

Day 882: Fursday Wif The Bliss And Firty-Five Percent Pout

Today was another gorgeous day wif the bright sunshine, beautiful bleu skies and a high of mid 60s! I fink in the description of Total Bliss... these are requisites!

And me and the Bleu do enjoy our time, millin about... 

And shnoofin the squirrel trails... 

And we even watched wif excitement as a pair of em ran the power line!

It really IS hard to be inside all day, watchin these little terrorists have their way wif my yard and my pecans.

It is is an atrocity of the worst kind, and I feel the need to sort of point it out to the Mom... they were here and here and here... O! And also there! Just sayin.

They even perch themselves on the patio chairs and leave pecan shells to prick and poke the patooty of all who absent-mindedly sit in those chairs! They tease me in that way...

Enough of the trackin, I'm ready for the in-of-door pleasures! [Great shot of My Angel Kiss, Mom!]

My the Mom had dinner plans (out) tonight. And I picked up on the subtle clues pretty quickly.

I wouldn't say that I engaged a full pout, but maybe about a 35% one!

I mean... On the one paw, I want her here wif the me tonight and ok, all ways. And on the other, she is off to have dinner wif my Uncle Tom and Aunt Madison to... if I have eavesdropped wif the accuracy... plan a Fanksgivin Surprise.


You know how I love the Surprises, so I cut the pout back 65% from full. And once Ole Gal came home, I let bygones be bygones...

Me and the Bleu, by the way... We heard SOME fing in our yard. We have flyin squirrels, what are nocturnal... but this was some fing MUCH larger.

I fought about conductin an investigation, but decided instead to put the doggy-in-the-baff-robe frew a detailed background check.

I'm happy to report that all of the under and for that matter over cover discoveries are totally delightful wif the good lovin and suckin.

I've had a bit of discomfort today, but it has had no effect on my Zest and Happiness. One of the new traditions I love is that I get a dollop of pumpkin for dessert... even after breakfast foods. Sure, it helps wif the tummy upset after a busy day away from home, includin those I spend wif my Aunt Isphesia... but it also really soothes my froat. And makes me feel special.

The Bleu gets a dollop, too... on a counta he likes dessert and feelin special, teu! Not comin from a judgmental place... but Big Boy can also use the fiber. Just sayin. But I digress...

I'm SO grateful for Team Luke! When I have a rough day, The Love Protocol lifts My Spirit!!!

Day 611: Gettin Over Our Bad Selves

It hard on a boy when he Mom feel so very much unappreciated, disposable and not just unloved but also scorned. It is... and it is not fair.

Me and the Bleu make the Mom's world absolutely worf the while, and our love in betwixt us overcome one fousand fold ever bad fing any body else can interject... but it still real sad fing when people choose to hurt her, choose ego over sentiment, choose quantity over quality, choose notch in belt over humility.

And then they just choose emotional detachment on a counta it just way easier that way.

That clearly ALL hurt the Mom big time, but here is the me... showin her, please let the wind flow frew your hairs, and just let it go!

"LET... IT... GO...!!!"

To the Mom: "What you see and feel here... right now... is the only fing what matter! And that is the me and the Bleu... We love you and we share our life wif the you!!!"

And tho it may still be winter... and tho all our tropical plants are dead to world, there are lillies to be rejoiced!

And sniffed!

And then there are also the leftover pecans what were frown down by the squirrels...  And well, you know how I hate for nuts to go to waste!

So I gotta follow the pecan trail all round the tree!

That is... until the Mom shake "The Berry Treat Bag"!!! And then, suddenly... I can't wait to go inside!!!

[Gosh, I'm cute!]

Day 78: Celebrating My Dozenth Friday Night!

Chased squirrels and gathered pecans with the Mom till dark. Then got down to serious relaxation with Kongy (and love for Aunt Karen)!

Mom said am I not bout the cutest thing in the world?

Day 870: Saturday Stuff.....

We swept well, and I awoke feelin better than I have... So let's get this party started!!!

I greet this cool crisp mornin wif all the excitement and high tail that it deserves! This, after all, is perfect weather in my book!!!

I'm ready to head in of doors, wif the hope of chowin down on the tasty breakfast foods!

Once in, belly full and back out...the Pupperazzi documents my many moods...

... accentin the silky neck and ear furs...

...watchin me watchin the Bleu...

I'm over it all ready.

Let's. Go. In.

Here's how I approach the invitation (later on)!!!

And here I am... shakin "it" off...

Me and the Bleu workin together...

... Viewin situation from opposite angles...

yep... sniff... yep... sniff... yep...

Field work is done. Time for lab work...

And while me and the Bleu bring our data in of doors for further analysis [and also a nice long and well deserved nap]... my the Mom takes a quick leave to ride wif the Cousins Zeke and Rizzi to the Farmer's Market in Hempstead!

You see, they are out to help their the Mom... my the Aunt Karen... wif the gatherin of the pecans for the Fanksgivin Day pies. Ever one is quick to point out that if I was on my game and my pecan tree had not had an awful year... this trip would not be necessary. Just sayin.

Rizzi, in particular, is happy that the trip was necessary!

He loved him some adventure! And he and the Zeke boaf loved them some of my the Mom lovin... all most as much as she loved it too! They made her feel SO very very good!!!

The goodbyes were very bitter sweet on a counta there was not enough time to be satisfied... except for the me, waitin at home to be allowed outside, and therefore... back inside again!

Here I'm asked to display "Handsome"...

... and then... 'Swoon Material'...

Just me. Just sayin.

And here I find myself chillin / behavin [might be misinterpreted as beggin /prayin] at the Wysong Anergen 32 pound box, which just happens to be half full.

I am just very food driven. And it's good for my the Mom to know that so far... neither the disease nor the treatment has impacted  my appetite!!!

Study up on this: My Handsomeness!
