Day 897: Friday Fun And More About Fursday, Day 896!

As you all know, Friday is my favorite day of the week for many reasons, and I enjoyed each of them wif the gusto today!!!

Round here we call it Half Day Friday on a counta we get to spend half the day wif the Mom! And as is tradition, we shared a Mytiburger and then therefore our traditional family nap!

The nap was quite short today, because the weather was far too nice to miss! Well that and the Mom felt pressured motivated to get some chores done in preparation for "bringin in and dressin the tree"... whatever that means. Our shut-eye, while only about ten minutes long, was still really quite refreshin.


And speakin of tree... I had fings to do of my own!!!

Rascally rascal is up there, and I know it. 

Well... I knew it until I saw four of them in my pecan tree!

My M.O. is that I stand like a statue... and wait to spring into action when the the little varmints least expect it.

This might actually work if the Mom didn't incessantly photograph the statue until the statue... just... gives...up.

I mean, seriously, is there an angle that a the Mom does not appreciate???

Most sweet boys only have to worry bout whether the eye boogies are clear and the broccoli is off the teef... but I have to concern myself wif what's danglin in my feathers!

Ok. I made my own self laugh! Me, You and Everbody  know I don't care one bit whatsoever what is danglin in my feathers! I do like my eye boogies cleared regularly, but I wear a little dirt on my chin wif pride! Just sayin.

Here I am, peakin to see what the Mom is doin... I'm not sure if I'm ready to come inside. After all, Mister Dyson is outstandin in the livin room... but my wrist watch is tellin me it's time for the tasty foods. 

Turns out it WAS time for the dinner service. And I enjoyed my Wysong Anergen Duck and Rice, garnished wif two squirts of Grizzly Salmon Oil... followed up wif a dollop of pumpkin dessert!


And wif a blink of an eye, it was dark, and I fought I was safe to go out and enjoy the out-of-doors wifout the   Mom and the flashy beast. Boy-O-Boy was I wrong.


She found this "darkness" settin on the camera, and she decide to experiment... Kinda cool, I guess.

Not what I would call poetic, wif the garden tools in the background... and so not centered... but pretty good for seein a totally black view finder.

The Mom say this settin is posed to capture the desired image Sweet Boy and the background. She not say a fing bout makin the Bleu's eyes a pear demonic, but that happened, too.

Nor did she mention that it would capture the glow of positive energy (like in that fictional book she read that was so popular bout a million years ago)... but it did!

The Bleu look kinda cool under the Texas Sage what is confused and bloomin right now.

And here I am, ready to head in for some good toy time! 

But before I say 'Night Night, Ya'all!'... My the Mom wants me to show you a bunch of pitchers from yesterday I want to catch you up on Yester-Day 896.

Fursday, Day 896

Another beautiful day, and I am happy and feelin great! Cooped up in-of-doors while the Mom was at the Factory, I am anxious to peruse the perimeter...

And shnoof the little oak tree base, where the squirrels feed and frollick and play all day... wifin my view from the back door.

It is SO not right, but I must take a moment to say...


I waited 9.5 years to find myself on the lovin side of that back door. I don't care how long the Mom is gone. And I don't care how quick she is to let me out, when she's home.

What I care about is that I am... all ways... on the lovin side of the door. All ways.

Feel the love??? I do!!!

Sometimes the tasty foods are on the opposite side from the love, and I am torn... 

But wif a little insistence, a little lobbyin... a little lookin incredibly cute... 

And a little Solidarity... Love is pretty easily transformed beyond threshold!

And as luck would have it, love works in boaf directions...

Not great pitchers, but I hope they convey our happiness, on a counta I treasure each and every simple moment.

Don't get me wrong, I dream the Big Dream... Half of which is keep on keepin on enjoyin Chapter Two Ever Day Life...

And More Than Any Fing Half of which, I dream of beatin all the odds and astonishin all those doctor kinda people! Hey! Fink about it. As many times as not, you are readin about odd beatin and astonishment. Please to let that be me!!! Just prayin.

Team Luke provides lift to my Spirit! Frew you, the Love Protocol flows!!!

Day 887: Busy-Ness

Rare is the day when we are too busy to take pitchers, but today has been action packed! And in keepin wif the blurry pheme of yesterday, here is me in a hurry to come in for the dinner foods. Note my sweet tongue!

Some fing is definitely up round here on a counta my the Mom is hustlin round the kitchen mixin this and rubbin that, pullin pans outta the cabinets and missed-elaneous whatnot.

Please know that I mean this wif all due respect[?]... but my the Mom is NOT a cook!!! So as I watch all the commotion wif her bakin this and cookin that, I just feel like God knows she needs my help!!!

Fact that I smell bacon bacon Bacon BACON means that she needs REAL help. And as hard as I've tried to dance between the Mom and the cooktop... she has requested even harder that I move!

Fine. Here I am in the hall. I am still a matter of two feet from the kitchen. And the first morsel or bit I hear drop to the floor... I'm there!

My the Cousin John just came by to rub my sweet head [and ok, the Bleu's teu] and visit for a while. He brought in a duffle bag, and left it in that other room wif a bed. I guess he's comin back on a counta the Mom gave him a key!

This MUST be a piece to the Surprise puzzle!!! Either the Mom is preparin the Fanksgivin foods for her favorite [two legged] nephew, or... like some times in the past, my Cousin John is takin a break from the apartment livin and stretchin out at our house! Odd fing is, and I don't know why... but we usually leave so he can stretch out into the whole house! What is up wif that???! I guess we just wait and see what tomorrow brings...

Until then, you can find me somewhere between the peanut butter cookie (from scratch) aroma and cooked bacon smell in the kitchen! There are other olfactory delights, but they are not nearly so seductive!


Happy Day Before The Day Before Fanksgivin! I am makin my Fankful list... and when I reflect on it, I realize I am one Lucky Luke... And my Friends are at the top of my list!!!


My the Mom finks she is even luckier, on a counta she has the me and also the Bleu... AND all of Our Wonderful and Supportive Friends! She say she feel blessed. For sure. 

Day 886: Monday Wif The Brilliant Photography

Happy Monday of this fine Holiday Week! Though this pitcher was taken yesterday after my baff, it reflect how I am gearin up for my Fanksgivin Surprise!

I spent some quality time Sunday afternoon, lettin my furs dry and just finkin about how special this Holiday is goin to be!

And the reason I open up this journal entry wif the yesterday's pitchers is on a counta... It's a dark, dreary Monday and today's pitchers are blurry and frankly... awful. It is on a counta the weather and most definitely NOT the Mom's photographic genius. Just sayin wink wink.


I offer you today's glimpse at my fluffy caboose! It may be blurry, but it is clean.

This pitcher is kinda interestin, since my head looks in focus but ever fing else is not. It was taken on the "sport" settin. I fink maybe the camera battery is gettin weak.

It has been a busy evenin round here wif the hustlin and bustlin and bakin!!! Imagine my surprise when heat was emitted from that big stainless steel box in the kitchen! And the smells!!! Mmmmm-mmmmm!


And then after dark, we all went out to admire the full moon what was soon covered over by the fast movin clouds... and the Mom capture the moment wif this pitcher.

I know she is in love wif my soft and silky and lavender Buddy Wash smellin furs... but this was not how she visualized the frame (in the dark). But then again... neither was the next one, but at least my sweet face is in the frame!

And then she backed up and took this one. Not such a good shot, but at least she got all of me in it! The look on my face is lettin you know that I will not rest until the good smells on the other side of that door are EATEN... [or bagged, boxed and/or sealed]!

Fings are still busy round here tonight. Me and the Bleu are restin, but I am takin notes. I'm gettin closer to guessin what the Fanksgivin Surprise might be! And if I'm right... I'm frilled!!!

I love the tradition of listin all I'm fankful for... and You, My Friends, are at the top of my list!!!

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!!!
