Day 507: Sur... Prize!

Me, the Bleu and also the Mom... we have great fun figurin out how we dress for the Howl-O-Ween. Side perk is we selected by judges to be in top four and we get fabulous prize!!!

And here we is tryin to act like we have not already won it... on a counta it has been kept just beyond our reach but it smell very much like our hopes and dreams and ever other fing we love...
And we are right. It full of GRRH cookies and other treats and toys and just about ever thing two boys could ever possibly love!!!

And here is the Bleu wif the rope toy chew... and I have to say, he make his choice... I make mine! If he choice turn up in my bed, that just mean he be struck wif the absent mind!

Ball thingy is mine, and I suck on it real good!

This just one other perspective...

P.S. By the way, rope toy turn up later in big bed, and the Bleu is frantic about some bad decision he finks he made. But not to worry... he and the Luke are brothers in every sense of the word.

Day 506: Mug Shots ... A Family Portrait

Howl-O-Ween was fun, and we got some professionally shot pitchers back this week and so I share em wif the you!

The Bleu is a little of a ham but the Mom most definitely is not, and only time she allow pitcher taken is if she wif her sweet boy(s)...!

So here we are... "Cop and Convicts", "Police and Perps!"... A Family Portrait!


I wrote a book yesterday on feet and fifteen minutes ago, I wrote one on all the ways I would like to wear a hat. Didn't take long since the pages are once more... blank.
Kinda funny story... me and the Mom came inside to do sum fing she need to do and she not gonna do sum fing and leave me outside nor would I let her... and then photographer ask would we like our pitcher taken? We say sure but the Mom say we need the Bleu (I not sure xactly why)...

Quickly they say, we hold the Luke while you go get the Bleu... and the Mom trump by sayin it would be easier if you go get the Bleu (and it was. trust me.).

If wonder why we boaf keep lookin to our right... there were two photographers snappin fingers and callin our names... but also there was also cupcakes and AUNT KAREN COOKIES to our immediate right!!!

Want good photo? Should rip page outta Aunt Karen's playbook... put berry treat, GRRH cookie or better yet Aunt Karen Cookie in mouf or on head!

And here is one of my favorite pitchers... It was announced that we were one of the winners, and we all free gathered togefur. The Mom is talkin to the us... and this just really represent our fambily, wif ception of we are all free behavin.... Just sayin.

And now I am sorry to inform you that we have even MORE pitchers to share wif the you in the next few days... so please pack your Howl-O-Ween patience... you will need it!

Day 505: Golden Gratitude!

First let me say I am very grateful to all who have stopped by my little blog and left the well wishes behind... and also for ever one who support me and also my the Mom wif emails and messages and phone calls and most importantly... prayers! Very many special fanks to my good friends the Tucker and the gorgeous Daisy!

Next I guess I should tell you a little of the story... On Saturday October 24f, my the Mom found a growf on the pad of my paw. I went to the vet that day to get fleu beuster shot but my the Doctor Mark was not there and every body else was busy... so we went back on Tuesday.

Now about fifteen minutes ago, I sat down and wrote an entire book on all the fings I would like you to do to and wif my feet. It did not take long, as the pages are completely blank.... but I digress.

Long story short, the Doctor Mark say it have to come off and soon. And we already been watchin bump on other foot, knowin if it gonna come off... it have to come off soon. And so unbeknownst to me, she decide... all questionable come off.

Fast forward to the mornin of Tuesday November 3, me and the Mom leave home wifout me partakin of my breakfast foods and I am rich wif the anticipation of where we are goin UNTIL... we pull up into parkin lot of Doctor Mark... at which point, I abruptly turn to the Mom and say
"Well... THIS ain't Denny's...!"

So any way... I have surgery and it start real late in day, and I am pretty sure the Mom was wound up tight wif the worry and also really grumpy and scared... but it all went just fine. I have lump removed on pad of right paw, bump removed from top of left paw, tiny eyelid tumor removed from right eye, skin tag removed from right elbow and tiny lump removed from back.

She could not wait to come pick her sweet boy up, but I immediately frew up in the parkin lot... and it did not get much better that night at all. I did not know what to do when I got home. I did not want the love. I did not want the Mom. I did not want the nuffin... until about midnight, when...

I suddenly remember how much I love the Mom and bedtime stories and sleepin in big bed and so I wake the her up for story and then hop up next to the her... first kinda close, then between her and her body huggin pillow and then eventually half on top of the her. Yes yes yes the Luke is happy to be alive!

Free of my my bo-bees are known to be nign, but the two on my feetsies have been sent off... to military school or wherever bad bo-bees are sent... I will let you know when we hear from the them.

And now if nuffin else funny bout entire ordeal... please have laugh on me... as I model my white socks and blue slippers!

My the Mom would not let me very far off the patio as I am to be on my feet as little as possible.
And now I'm ready to go back to the inside if the Mom would stop takin the pitchers...
Geez really... these meds make me very very sweepy! Pweese to wet me back in the door...

Ahhh. Back in and where I want to be. (I am not posed to put a lotta pressure on my foot but the Mom has given up on tryin to keep me from jumpin on and off the bed... and that's why I love the her).

I went on Fursday and had left slipper removed and right one changed out (God helped Katherine at the Fairbanks!)... so now I have a whole new look. Will post that soon, along wif more Howl-O-Ween pitchers.

I must tell you once more before I go just xactly how much it mean to me to have the friends like the you... it mean WORLD. It do. From bottom of my sweet heart... Fank you!

Day 499: GRRH Howl-Oween Party

Happy Howl-Oween, ya'all!

Today was quite eventful for me and also the Bleu... as we arrived at the Pet Paradise Hobby location for the GRRH Costume party, and our photos were snapped very much like a red carpet event! (Very many more and professional photos later... these are just a few the Mom captured!)!

You are wonderin now... how did the Luke dress? Well, I went as a cop in charge of two convicts!

Here is me fully knowin how good I look and knowin this gentleman has got a camera... I am tryin to point fact out to the him!

Afraid exact point is lost on him, but I got pettin and attention from him any way!
And speakin of pettin and attention... well, you all know the Bleu is King of Love... so let me introduce you to Aunt Ada... who was like the substrate to the Bleu gleu teuday!

Me and the Mom love Aunt Ada on a counta she has heart of gold and is strong woman who really get fings done! But the Bleu... he love her on a counta she got that furry special sumfin. I ask him what and he cannot say... he just smile and tap tap tap. (By way, you can see my other convict... what is my the Mom... in window reflection (below)!)

And holiday would not be complete wifout photo of the Bleu wif my, ok our... the Aunt Madison, who we love love LOVE! She was Mom to the Bleu for nine monfs before he got mine... and troof be tole, the Bleu got teu Moms!

We could fight over theory of relativity, Mom or Aunt... but my the Aunt Madison conspire wif the me, later in day, as judges are deliberatin... to get some more pitchers taken! And for her, I agree to put my hat back on!

Then not too long thereafter... Me and the Bleu, aka The Cop and the Convict... are named one of four winners!!!

We are furry excited to see our prize, but the Mom say she need to photograph it and we will have to be patient and excited tomorrow! It's ok. Me, the Bleu and also the Mom... we are tired. After all, our collective age is 67.5 so it is understandable that we might need to go to bed early!

Stay tuned for more terrific photos!!!

Day 492: Fleu Beusters

Canine fleu is very bad and lingerin disease, so teuday me and the Bleu... we go get part teu what is the beauster to first shot we got several weeks ago.

And now we feel kinda icky, kinda gimpy, kinda puney, and we go to little bed(s)... kinda early.
And here is me in mine.

And here is the Bleu in his.

And here is look on my sweet face.

And here the Bleu is tryin to bury his sweet face...

It is sometimes very hard to try to stay healfy! Just sayin.

Day 490: Things You Might Not Know About the Me Thursday

Wif lotsa time on my paws lately, I made list of fings about the me what you may or may not know... and they are this:

1. I wake up at 4:30am ever single mornin. Always have. Always will. When first came here to live, I came to side of bed for bedtime story and then settled back down on floor for more sleep. I still come to side of bed for bedtime story, but now I jump on the bed for the spoonin and cuddlin till time to get up!

2. I have COWLICKS. Lots em. And my the Mom loves em! Some of her very most favorites are on back of my neck. She all ways rubbin on em and sayin she gonna take real good pitcher... Stay tuned!

3. Was kissed by Angel on top of my head and you can see the spot!

4. I call my style... SCRUFFY. I'm about slippers, bell bottoms and lettin it all hang out. I love love LOVE a brushin (will even come outta the bunker for some!), but just say NO to all other implements of the groomin!

5. I work very hard NOT to be the boy who is in trouble. Can say just the opposite a bout the Bleu! He work hard to be in trouble on a counta he is treuly freu-n-freu goody 2 sheu... so he amp up he orneriness in order to get called down! Just sayin.

Daze 472 - 484: Fleu Time

If I was the kind of boy who keep score on such fings,
here is what the board would say about the last two weeks:

H WON, N WON
AND
THE MOM LOST

And by "lost" I mean I ain't never seen a woman as sick as my the Mom was (not that I have a lotta experience at bein wif sick women)... Me and the Bleu, we was very very VERY worried... mostly bout whether she was gonna have the strengf to feed us and fill our water bowl, but still... we was worried!

Now I do not want you all worryin bout the "what ifs" on a counta my family did many "welfare checks" on the Mom (wink wink) and therefore also (and mostly) the me and also the Bleu... And it also did take quite some hour or two of educatin from the Aunt Karen, Micro-Biologist to convince the Mom that it was ok to have the Nurse Luke and the Nurse Bleu up in her face.

(To this day neither she nor I can understand how it jump from pig to her but cannot jump to the Luke... but for that, I am grateful!).

Now... havin her home captive wif the us for so many days was pretty good fing, but she was not very fun. She was not playful and she did not sing or really be very chatty wif us at all. And so it was really kinda borin, and besides all the times we was puttin a mirror under her nose... we all just pretty much laid around, listened to tv and sighed a lot.

Of course, there were also lotsa storms, and ole gal raise herself up from dead to put calmin music on and also to sit in the bunker wif the me. I tried my hardest to be brave boy, but meltdowns some time got better of the me. Besides... it was good to see that at least one fing could get her up outta that bed!

Now on the bright side, I am happy to report... my the Mom is gonna live! I would say she is about 85% her old self, and gainin strengf ever day. And now I will close wif some advice from the her:

If you are eligible to take the H1N1 flu shot or nasal mist, take it... particularly, if you have asthma! I urge you to please take this disease very seriously. Take every precaution, and avoid handshakes, hugs and crowds. I'm not typically an alarmist, but there were a couple of nights I was afraid to go to sleep, for fear I wouldn't wake... and on Day 6, when I thought I was finally feeling so much better and free of fever, I took my temperature... It was 102.2!

Please... Please... take VERY good care of yourselves! I love you all!!!

Day 470: Hard Day's Night

O boy it was, on a counta we was up doin GRRH work and did not go to bed until 130am this mornin... and at 245am the thunder it did start boomin! And it boomed all way until time for us to get up and get day under way!

And how we got it under way was big surprise on a counta boaf me and the Bleu board the trolley to go to see Doctor Mark! Our the Aunt Madison was there!!! She was there mostly to see the me, but she also wrangle and help calm the Bleu!!!

Here is the lowdown on the showdown:

Bleu: Gained 5 pounds and needs to go on diet (more foods for me). Bump checked and burst and cannot again be found. Received fleu shot.
Luke: Weight stable. Heartworm check (negative). Fecal check attempt (I don't think so). Lump and bump check (Are primarly of no concern, but keep watch on lump on paw. If it does not significantly improve, should be removed). Received three shots, includin fleu shot.

It has been very long day for all of the us! The Mom had more GRRH work to do when we got home from our big adventure... but we're all settlin into bed early tonight!

Day 464: More The Mom Birfday Celebration!

Ok well the proverbial cat is out of the bag... now that the Aunts Karen and Madison and the Uncles Craig and Tom have gathered and carried out the big birfday surprise upon the Mom!

And here is very best part of surprise... sweet portrait of someone you know and very much love love LOVE!!!

I'm lookin and finkin... "wow, this portrait is of real handsome boy... just sayin".

Huh???... What??? You think it resemble me???

Well... it IS a handsome portrait... And the fur on the ears DOES flip in that really way cool way... I guess I'll leave it to the Mom to decide if it tugs her heart strings, just like I do...

O... And then there was this other part of the birfday surprise. And I guess it posed to be the Bleu. Ok, I tryin real hard to pretend it not the spittin image of his boaf self and he personality. But I give! I cannot look at this portrait one more time wifout grinnin... on a counta it capture so much of the Bleu!

Why... just look at him! Even the Bleu finds the resemblance funny!!!

This birfday surprise is really special and encompasses all we boys are to her... in all the special ways!

It's hard to know what makes her happier... her boys, portraits of her boys... or loved ones who were thoughtful enough to seek protraits of her boys! I believe it's a three-way tie! The Mom is in love wif us all!!!

Day 463: GRRH Work

Just two fings get between me and my bloggin and they are storms and also GRRH work, and they have been boaf too plentiful lately!

For the example, this afternoon and tonight the Mom is workin on new sletter. I do not claim to understand what a sletter is whever be new or old, but on list of fings to include was GRRH's new rescue t-shirts... and she decide the Bleu would be good model!

Now, I have to tell you... In life there are fings what you simply must stand firmly against and one is when your brother gets all attention.

And so I do. Just sayin.

Then the Mom completely miss understand my protest, and next fing I know, t-shirt is bein put on me... and I willin subject over the head and frew one arm, but arm number teu and I draw line wif the growl. Now... the Mom understand my growl and it not aggressive but just expressive. More time than not, it mean I love my slippers fank you very much back off... but today it mean: "I draw line wif the t-shirt wearin at arm number teu!"

For sake of clarity, here is basic Life Rule... The Bleu should not get more attention than the me.

The Mom not pick up on the clarity, but pick up on the protest real good... so she drape t-shirt over my back for photo shoot and wah-lah:

More on the t-shirt later and whever or not our eever of pitchers make it into the sletter!

Day 457: Fun Birfday Stuffs

So one week ago today on what was few days before the Mom's humongous birfday... she left outta here to go meet my (and ok, the Bleu's) very special Aunt Dav. I was none to happy bout her leavin, but just look what she brought back!

Now, please understand how hard it was on the Luke to keep big day a secret... but because the Mom is not her comfiest when in lime of the light, I did.

So now boaf proverbial cat and also really swell presents is outta this bag! It is a LOT and I check it out!

[And now I must ask you for your code of the silence, on a counta the Mom say I absolutely cannot share these next few pitchers wif the you... cause the need to be folded laundry is in the "laundry chair"... so I beg you, shhhhhhhh...]

And here come my partner in the investigation... the Bleu! He wonder teu... what is all stuff in big bag???

And now it has beed laid out, and we continue our forough investigation.

And know what it is??? It is all manner of fun fings wif me and the Bleu's caricature on it! Here it is on tote bag!

But it is also on a mouse pad, tea towel, pillow case and a t-shirt! See??? It look just like original drawin what the Mom frame today!

And now I just offer you closer up of the frame image on a counta... well, I just look so swell!

My Aunt Dav, in addition to bein my special Aunt... she also be most specialest of sister to the Mom. My the Mom say they go way back a bout ahem years and that is a lot. And I say that to say this... she all ways know how to make the Mom feel good and happy! Mine and the Mom's and also the Bleu's fanks to the Aunt Dav... your gift could notta been any more perfect!

Now... you might fink that is all that was in bag wif the cat... but it is not! I save coolest fing for another very important post! For now I just say it is sumfin that me and the Mom have wanted very much for bout a year and a week... Fank you, Uncle Benj!

P.S. Part of cat bein out of bag is the Mom wore her new t-shirt to the GRRH Meet-n-Greet today. And I (and ok, the Bleu) was a hit on a counta ever body love the shirt! I am happy to hear it on a counta now my Christmas shoppin is now one stop!
