Day 687: Rizzi & Zeke Birfday... And Also Free Fur All Friday!

HAPPY BIRFDAY!!!

To The Rizzi and Zeke!!!

Yep, the handsome Bishop Boys are celebratin Birfday Number Free today! And me and the Bleu [and also the Mom, just sayin] wish them the Happiest of Days!

These special boys are my good friends, my cousins and also my poker pals [shhhhhh]. They are very lucky boys on a counta my the Aunt Karen is their the Mom, and that mean that they get the kongy wif peanut butter and banana ever single day and when there are two peanut butter jars empty, they get to lick the dregs. And that is not to mention the Aunt Karen cookies... Just sayin, but I digress.

You may be familiar wif the Rizzo and Zeke, as they are quite well known as World Class Synchronized Swimmers... 

The synchronized symmetry of the turnin of their heads... is some fing to witness!

And then there is the finale... what tell the story of their special bond!

The Bishop Boys are highly decorated affletes, regulars on the podium and also pool side at The Pet Paradise... where they are pitchered here, laden wif the Gold Medals!!!

As wif every Star Afflete, it is nice to know the personal story of The Boy Behind The Medal... These boys truly need their own bloggy, on a counta they have so much to share... but for now, I will offer you one [or so] liners!

The Rizzi is an avid fan of the movin pitcher! He has much to say on the topics of Cartoons, Animal Planet, Cooking Shows and Commercials. Priceless commentary... just sayin.

The Zeke is a super swell laid back fellow who is unimpressed wif the movin pitcher! He is more about feelin the sun shine, shnoofin the season's smells and enjoyin a good nap... on a counta he is content wif life!!!

On behalf of my brother the Bleu and also my the Mom, We wish them the happiest of the birfdays... and we cannot wait to celebrate together! How about Memorial Day weekend in the Hill Country?!!!  [:::twistin the Aunt Karen's arm:::]

Now on a still fun yet more mundane note, I give you... Free Fur All Friday!

As you know, I spent most of the past 8 days in a t-shirt to ensure I did not snag my stitches. For record, I do not mind wearin the t-shirt, but I am not so crazy wif the puttin it on, followed closely by the takin it off.

That said, I DO prefer to be naked. It is who I am. I love the nakedness and also the slippers. I fink it is called... "awww natch your owl" but I am not sure why...

Boaf planned and unplanned landscapin is makin a comeback! Our yard sure need the help of somebody who know what to do wif it! Just sayin.

We are also watchin our Night Bloomin Cereus, given to us by The Herd. I do not fink this is the night, but it won't be long...

And speakin of the blooms, we have the tiny ones on our Texas Sage shrub. I love it on a counta the soft texture of the leaves!

And you know the Mom wif her "special" photographic skills... she try nother settin on camera and come up wif this. It look like the night time, but I guess it sharper. Sigh.

And to add scale figure, and also prove it our yard... I offer you the Bleu! 

And speakin of the Big Boy, the Bleu may look calm and slow and stagnant most times in pitchers... but he is also FULL O THE ZOOMIES!!!

 I enjoy my own zoomies, but the Bleu shut em down quick when he enter in... on a counta he is HUGE and our back yard is NOT! First time he frow me a block, I head for the back door... "let me in"! 

OK, THERE... I said it. The Bleu some time scare me... not a lot, just a little. 

But mostly we do share the back yard, the related shnoofins, the Mom's photo ops... yep, the Good Times!

And just one more very special fing... You guys know me. I am not a big winner of awards. I am not! 

So when I am presented one... I truly get choked up. I am honored. I hope I deserve it!

I pinch myself and rub my eyes and hope this is real... but my dear friends The Houston Pittie Pack, honor me [and also the Bleu] wif the Beautiful Blogger Award!!!

Wow!!!... What a day! What a week! Bring on the weekend!!!

Question Two, asked by The Tucker, Miss Daisy and also Leo, in reference to my Almost Wordless Wednesday: 

"That looks suspiciously like a cat pose, Luke. Are you channeling your inner Leo?"

Question Free, asked by the Sam, in reference to me Piggin the May Day Fishy:

Answer: Gosh, Super Sam... You are doin such a swell job of sharin your life and stuff wif the Mighty Monty!!!

Me and the Bleu... we get along real well wif our ying and yang personalities! We really do NOT compete, not one bit at all... for any fing.

My "the mine mine mine" syndrome is deeply rooted in a past where I did not have no fing to be my own! The Bleu has all ways had his own stuff. You should see his trouseau!  My selfishness does not last long at all, and really is not selfishness... but more just an unbridled celebration!

Day 658: FAQ, First Edition

Welcome to my new regular feature what I will call...

Fursday's Answered Questions

This new regular feature will give me a chance to answer questions what have been posed from my friends on a variety of subjects. I sure hope you all will please play along and by 'regular', I mean I will be doin this on Fursdays when the mood strikes... Just splainin!


Question One, asked by The Thundering Herd...


"Woo - does mom have her paw bandaged and is she wearing the cone so she does not lick it? Just saying."


Question Two, closely related, asked by The OP Pack...


"We are sorry to hear mom hurt her paw, sort of like our Mom hurt her back. Does yours have to wear the lampshade? BoL. Hope she is better soon."


Answer:
There is two-fold UP side to this whole Mom has a sore paw fing... and it is (1) She has been layin round wif the right hand elevated, what mean her left hand ain't been up to much more than pettin my head (and also the Bleu's, of course).


And (2) In deed there is a DOG and we finally have justice. The Mom is in a cone / lampshade and while I cannot operate the camera, I can provide you wif a reasonable facsimile...

[She is not nearly as cute, but she does have the sad and forelorned eyes...]

Question Free, asked by the pittie pack...


"we loved your easter basket. can we come ofur and play??"


Answer:
That sounds like HUGE fun!!! But please do NOT bring your bunny ears however on a counta... I beg you, please do the not! You guys look real cute, and nuffin bring a smile to my face quite like you in the bunny ears...

But that is One Big Bull(i)et I been dodgin for last 658 days here! Can't hardly wait to see you soon (sans the big floppies. just sayin.)!


Question Four, asked by the very lovely Miss Khyra wif the beautiful floofy tail...


"Will trade pekhans fur berry treats? Or is that will trade pekhans fur blog time?"


Answer:
As great Pekhan Tykhoon... I am happy to trade treasures for many fings... For example, I would trade half my pecans to be a comforter!

And I would trade other half to be the grasses!

Just sayin!


Question Five, asked by the Sam...  in regards to how I behave when I bring in a pekhan...


"Do you walk around first and have that "I've-got-something-I'm-not-supposed-to-have" look?"


Answer:
I am glad you asked. When I come in from the "Last Call" at night, the Mom closes and locks door behind the me, sets security alarm, turns off lights, brushes her toofies... and most times I am waitin on her in the big bed. But some times I am not. Some times I am pacin floors. Just waitin on some fing. Silly look on face. Silly shuffle in foot. Wonderin when I will be discovered.


And if I am not called into question, I hop onto big bed (happened a bunch o times)... and spit pekhan out onto the Mom's pillow. If I try to decribe, it is a little worried expression between my eyes, you know... a little life this:

But wifout the ears.

[In spite of fact I not wearin the cute ears what my the Mom loves, she always fank me and give me big hug... what make me fink, I wonder if I can do it again tomorrow!]


And Question Six is asked by The Bumpass Hounds & Kitties (but mostly The Hounds):


"Tell us about those berry treats that youse guyes like so much. We don't think we've had berry treats."

Answer:
Well, first let me say that the Berry Treats are a most tasty snack and I should be the Official Spokesdog. Just sayin. Just starting a campain.

These tasty treats are a part of the Natural Choice line made my Nutro. They refer to them as "Crunch Treats With Real Berries". (They also have apple and carrot flavors what are good but berry is the best, just sayin).  The delicious smell alone will drive you wild and ingredients include dried cherries, blueberries and cranberries!

An open package inspires excitement and excitement... like this:

Me and the Bleu we get equally excited and compete over who is first frew the door when called... who is fist to sit... who is first to shake... who is first to do most any fing where the berry treats are called into play! I should explain, however... we BOAF get the treats, ALL WAYS... we just compete over who GET FIRST!

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 642: Belated Birfday Celebration!

One most excellent fing about havin second life is you not just want to celebrate BIRF DAY... or WEEK... but BIRF MONF! And so the Mom came home Saturday night (Day 639) wif the most special present from my the Aunt Karen, Uncle Craig and Cousins Rizzi and Zeke!

Chock it up to a long, rainy, stormy Saturday... or a kahlua shot (NOT sayin)... but the Mom say we wait until tomorrow for the reveal!

And by Sunday (Day 640), I could truly hardly wait to shnoof out the contents of this very attractive bag!

The Bleu is unsure if he has ever seen the Luke hop up into the ceremonial gift chair... to shnoof and retrieve his gifts! Could it be because my specialest cousins Rizzi and Zeke have been rubbin on my present??? And also the content of my present is some of my most favoritest fings to nibble / gobble???!

To recap: Most excellent Birfday Cookie (and St Paddys cookies behind), Berry Treats (!!!!), and a really cute buggy/froggy!

I stole the buggy/froggy and the Mom put him back... until I could steal him again!

The Bleu is still feelin well enough to keep tabs on fings...

And here I am before the servin of the Birfday Cookie...

My Special Birfday Cookie say"

Happy

Birthday!

So this Sunday night, me and the Bleu... we devour "Hap... Birt".

And tonight, we celebrate:

"py
hday"!

I am happy to keep celebratin my birfday, but I am most happy that the Bleu is feelin so much better. Me and the Mom have been worried pretty much sick, and we are happy that Big Boy is back to he ole mischief filled self!!!

Many special fanks to the Aunt Karen for makin this day (and others) so special!!!
