Day 904: Friday Featurin Fun, Fresh-Hold, Floppin And Flippin, Forty Winks... And A Big Secret!

FUN
Friday... My Favorite! And today was double my favorite on a counta we share The Traditional Friday Family Lunch wif my the Aunt Karen! How Fun!!!
It was a busy afternoon, and I mostly stayed inside wif the women folk... but I did enjoy a few swings frew the back yard!
I kept checkin the tree for activity, but there was far more excitin fings goin on INside than OUT!

FRESH-HOLD
So I was quick to implore...
"Please to let us go in of doors. Please."
The Bleu open wide...
And implore a little louder!!!
And I frow this in for the ladies...
who enjoy a little manly yet extremely cute
fur and floof!

FLOPPIN
Tis The Season of The Little Bed!
One of my most favorite fings about the lower than normal temperatures we've had this week... is curlin up in the little bed. And here I am, Wednesday Night [Day 902]: Souf Little Bed.

Wednesday Night [Day 902]: The Bleu in the East Little Bed.

FLIPPIN
We flipped and flopped... again.
Wednesday Night [Day 902]: Me in the East Little Bed.


Wednesday Night [Day 902]: The Bleu in the Souf Little Bed.

FORTY WINKS
My the Aunt Karen has left the household, and I am all ready missin her! She holds a special place in my heart for SO many reasons...

Not the least of which, she take me shoppin to buy this fabulous gift for my the Mom's mmf Birfday!!!
Dinosaur Wif Egg Babies.
I fink all you the Moms can agree...
There is no more perfect gift!
The Bleu, he has settled into the East Litttle Bed.
He's pretty cute...
Even for a brother.
The Bleu may seem innocent...
But Big Boy knows how to work it.


A BIG SECRET
The Mom is shuttin fings down round here. And as CHS (Chief Household Supervisor) I am watchin ever move. I know the secret, but my lips are sealed! After all, I'm a stand-up, loyal kind of boy!
That's not to say I'm above frowin a big pity party for the Santa, if he's readin... I mean, there might be a basket FULL of toys right there, but... 
THAT BASKET came wif the Bleu, as part of his trousseau, and so technically it and said contents, for all Santa-like purposes is not mine [mine mine]. And so I fink I might be in need and also deservin a new stuffy [or 2 or 3 or 40].  Just sayin.
 Shhhhhhh... No need to mention this to the Bleu...
Just sayin.
I love ever single day. I do. Give me an EXTRAORDINARY day like today, and I'm excited, frilled and ultimately... completely relaxed and satisfied. And as I rest my eyes, I count my blessins... and say my prayers! And I close by wishin you...

Merry Christmas and Happy Howlidays...

Day 898: The Drivin Miss Daisy Edition And Other Currently Sisterless Saturday Stuff

She is in the trolley, on a counta my the Mom, along wif the Aunt Madison, chauffeured Sweet Girl to the GRRH Meet-N-Greet at Orvis in the Woodlands!

These pitchers don't do this beautiful girl justice, but even so... she reminds me of someone special wif also the magnitudinous good looks...
Finkin finkin, but I can't quite put my paw on it... but she is Special, that's for sure!
I fink we can all agree that she is replete wif the good looks, but the Mom says Miss Daisy is also a very mannerly trolley passenger!


And Sweet Girl's manners didn't stop there! I hear that she was VERY well behaved at the event!
 I also hear that she formed a close bond wif one of the volunteers there...
 And that volunteer bonded wif her, too...
One passer-by even noted how much Daisy seemed to love her the mom...
Wait Wait WAIT. Did I hear that correctly??? Her "The Mom"???
Well... as of THIS moment, I don't have a sister. That's all I can report for now!

No approved adopters attended the event, but Daisy met many wonderful people who came there to learn more about the group. And many expressed interest in adopting and fostering... so it was a very good day!
The gorgeous Ambassador was happy to board the trolley for the trip back to Houston, and she settled in for a little nap, and that's good! I SO do love me a sweet girl who has no interest in the Co-Pilot position, because that position is filled... by ME!!!
Passive passenger. Check!
Daisy was initially estimated to be 8 years old, but GRRH does not believe that to be so. . Her teef are clean and not worn in the least. She is energetic and lively, but also easily settles. All fings considered, she's likely 5-7 years old and just prematurely gray.

It's not like she has had a stress free life. You see, her first family abandoned her when they moved away. A few Good Samaritans made sure the Sweet Girl made her way to GRRH!

Daisy is as smart as she is sweet. You'll love the things her Foster Mom has to say!!! By all a counts, Daisy will complete her Forever Family! She is that kind of girl!!!

My Currently Sisterless Saturday
Now meanwhile, you are wonderin how this Saturday has been shaped by the currently Sisterless Luke and also the Bleu [of course]!

We, ok I awoke early and after much sighin and restin my chin on the (east then west then east then west then...) side of the bed, we all did arise and check out the happenins in the back 40!
You just never know what atrocities might have been committed overnight. Just sayin.
Fortunately, not much did... We went frew the motions and then me and the Bleu, we did graciously allow the Mom to don her GRRH shirt and depart wif the trolley... to Drive Miss Daisy!


And when Ole Gal arrived back home, renderin me once again and also currently sisterless... we spent some good quality time out of doors in the 80 degree + temperatures to absorb a bit of heat before those temps drop to the 30's tonight. Crazy, right?
Hard to believe that we just got our yard raked a few days ago... but Gosh, I'm cute! What a face I have!!!
File this next pitcher under "Shift Change"... a favorite category of the Mom's, even though it has never been a label. [tsk tsk]
 I'm just happy the flash isn't on!!!
Displayin my handsomeness,
and workin on my Lulander model poses...
 Glance slight to my left...
 Glance slight to my right...
I may have all the physical qualities of a model, but the behaviors... not so much. Here is me when I fink I hear the dinner bell ring!
I am ready to strap on the feed bag!


Yes, indeed!!! Food and lots of it!!! 
Pumpkin dessert, too!!! 
I beg of you!!! 


It all unfolded exactly how I hoped. Dark has come over the back yard... and "the tree" has come into the house. The Bleu is scared and sought refuge in the big bed.
I'm not sure what to fink, so I am keepin one eye on it!
And I am followin the Mom frewout the house. I don't want to miss a fing.
 Look upper right center... you will see me keepin an eye on the dead eff-a-lent in the room/red bag and the crime scene "the tree"...
I'm not sure how I feel about all of this. I'm tryin to remain calm... act nonchalent... and pretend there is no eff-alent in the room...
But followin the Mom seems like the fing to do... since we're plannin one of those "get back to the original spirit of the holiday" kind of Christmas.
The funnest fing about Christmas... is givin. But this year for us, all spare (and then some) green papers are dedicated to medical care. Me, the Mom and also the Bleu hope that everyone understands... our extraordinary circumstances!


We won't be able to send our normal end-of-year contributions to charities, as we would like. We are saddened by the financial implications... but along wif the immense personal challenges we have before us,  we also have infinite hope in our hearts... that we will overcome the odds!!!

And to anyone out there wif the Santa connections... Please to tell him the story of the Sweet Luke who dreams of a new stuffy for Christmas! I am deprived. Really, I am.
Just sayin.

And now let's join the Saturday Pet Bloggers Hop! Nigel at Life Wif Dogs has the details...!
