Friend of the Month Reminder
“So that’s it for the darlin’ buds of May,” says Admin. “If any.”
“And therefore?” says Spence.
“Time for the friend of the month reminder! See Fred the turtle and “Little” Leadville over there on the right? They’re Chet’s Friends of the Month for May. All their human companion did was send in a photo to the gallery. The random number generator (see below) did the rest, and their human companion qualified for a signed and paw-printed copy of The Sound and the Furry. This could be you! Just send in a photo.”

Good morning, everyone! Another month gone, so quickly too!
Have a satisfactory Saturday.
9:00 am on May 31st, 2014
We have enjoyed Fred and Little Leadville around for the month. Good luck everyone for the June FOC.
Beautiful day here, but when did the hoards of mosquitoes arrive? They chased us back in this morning, but maybe the sunshine will send them into hiding.
Here is Lucy chillin’ on the sofa last night. She really has settled in hasn’t she?

9:13 am on May 31st, 2014
“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? / Thou art more lovely and more temperate: / Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, / And summer’s lease hath all too short a date” (Sonnet 18).
(I had to look that up.)
Lucy looks very comfortable.
Good morning all.
9:20 am on May 31st, 2014
Lucy looks more than comfortable, she looks HOME 🙂
9:28 am on May 31st, 2014
I’m so happy for Lucy and for Barb and Maggie also. It’s just perfect.
Macy’s Mom, count me as one of the unbelievers or disbelievers. I don’t believe in coincidences and I can’t tell what’s going on there but I’d be careful if I were you. I’d even question how the tire went flat in the first place.
9:44 am on May 31st, 2014
MPM, That was exactly my thought. I was wondering if he flattened the tire and then offered to “help”. My “gut instinct” is still saying that he has an agenda, whether his wife knew Rick or not.
I strongly believe that he has some sort of material goal. All kinds of flashing red lights going off.
9:50 am on May 31st, 2014
Diane: I had never thought about it before but you’re right–it is curious that Grendel’s mother isn’t given a name.
9:55 am on May 31st, 2014
OK, I have to say one more thing because I am worried about Mary Lou, and I hope she doesn’t get mad at us.
I think Mary Lou is a very sweet, kind hearted and trusting person who sees the good in people. She is also very vulnerable right now. Unfortunately, this could make her an easy target for a con artist.
Just because these people go to church, and just because the wife worked with Rick, does NOT necessarily make them honest people. After other’s comments, I don’t think I am being paranoid.
10:04 am on May 31st, 2014
Hi Lucy! You look so great. When will we hear your voice on this here blog?
It is a gorgeous day here. Mom just had a fabulous ride on Annie, and now we are going out to watch Pop ride Ned.
10:15 am on May 31st, 2014
Well, as always, there’s lots going on here. But have you noticed that it is always the little stuff that pushes us over the edge? I went to Safeway yesterday with a list of free items that I was eligible to receive with their rewards program. (Coffee, salad dressing, etc.) After I checked out, I noticed that I was charged for the ‘free’ laundry detergent. The checker told me that the offer had expired, which it had not. She told me to come back later. Then she told me that they were out of the free items, but she could write me a rain check. Just about then, my phone died, and there went my list. She couldn’t give me a rain check without the specific details. Sorry. So the manager was called, and she told me that I could log into their computer to get the list. In the meantime, the line got longer and longer, and customers are getting frustrated. I am getting frustrated. The checkers are getting frustrated. They finally decided to write the rain check nut then they made the fatal error of turning their back on me, exchange glances, and laugh.
All this over a lousy $11.99 bottle of laundry soap.
This is a store that I used to spend a lot of money in.
(Mom dusts off her hands and gets off her soapbox)
10:20 am on May 31st, 2014
About the ML story, I am going to hope that this is a Good Thing. But like the others, something about all the coincidences is making me uneasy. So I would say to have faith, look for the good, but be a little cautious.
10:25 am on May 31st, 2014
Wolfie, our mom knows how you feel. Last week for the holiday grill-out, mom found baked beans on the shelf for 3 for $5. That was all she had & total was $8.50. Their responds was,”Well it scanned that way”. I told them to keep them if they couldn’t update their scanner. Manager called, line thing, you know the story.
10:32 am on May 31st, 2014
On a lighter note, here is a picture of one good egg, one bad. Remember when folks were asking about fresh eggs?

10:38 am on May 31st, 2014
We have a quick grocery store story, then out to do some yard work. Barb saw a sign in front of the mushroom compost bags at her grocery store. It said NuLife Compost and was marked $1.99. She went in and got in the line and ordered 8 bags. It rang up $2.99, on sale from $3.99. Barb said the sign was for $1.99. The clerk called the manager, they sent a kid out to check and he verified that it said $1.99, so she got it for that price. When they loaded the bags for her she saw that the sign was in the wrong place, and it was not supposed to be $1.99. Now, 2 weeks later, the wrong sign is still there.
11:02 am on May 31st, 2014
EVERYONE! Please! Prayers for No.2 son who is in ER with possible pancreatic problems.
Nana has been awake most of the night and is a nervous wreck.
11:14 am on May 31st, 2014
BDS, tell Nana the both she and No.2 son are in our pawrayers and thoughts.
11:26 am on May 31st, 2014
Oh, Nana, anything buy pancreas. You let me hear as soon as you know anything. Pancreas can be very dangerous even if not “C”. Constant positive energy in your direction.
As to how the tire got flat. I had been to the tire store a couple of weeks ago because my tire light was on. I knew that I had a little nail in a front tire, but they told me that I had a screw in the rear right tire. This is the one that went flat. My light had been on for at least two days and I ignored it so it was a good thing that the tire didn’t go flying off at 70 miles an hour.
And yes, I do tend to be too trusting. Anybody who says a kind word to me is my hero.
11:27 am on May 31st, 2014
*but*
11:48 am on May 31st, 2014
Dear Bear, Pawrayers going out to you and #2 son. there is noting as scary as having to wait and see what is causing an illness. Right now a lot of us here on the blog have ‘issues’. It sure is nice to have our blog friends at our backs. Thanks for all the caring and prayers for everyone.
Speaking of caring. Today I got a call from Gail at the postoffice. The post office in Clifford is only open from 9 to 10:30 on Saturdays and she wanted to let me know that there was a package for me and it was too large to fit in our PO Box. (It really is wonderful to have a little local post office even if the hours are lousy)
So I went in and picked up a box from Wose and Grizz. It was marked all over with fragile fragile fragile. Inside was a Singer Model 20! The motel 20 is a tiny handcrank Singer ‘toy’ machine that was made about 60 years ago. It is sooooo cute! I will take a before picture for youse all. I have to get out the Q-tips and the oil and shine her up a bit but she moves nicely! Thanks Wosen’Grizz! You guys are the best! I feel really cheerful now…;-D
11:59 am on May 31st, 2014
BSD–Prayers sent and will be resent at 8-hour intervals until advised otherwise.
Wolfie’s Mom and HOH on the subject of little (and not so litle things–Today my HOA holds its semi-annual mass garage sale, which on a couple of occasiona in the past has allowed me the interesting experience of coming home from an early dog outing to find some bozo BLOCKING MY DRIVEWAY. this time I had actually considered asking the local police to come and patrol, but decided not to. Coming back from this morning’s outing I was initially heartened to see very little traffic on the approach and that some people had simply set stuff out with a “FREE” label. Then I turned my corner and found–surprise–someone’s Toyota blocking my driveway.
I approach one of only two houses actually trying to sell stuff. At the first house ME: Does anyone here drive the Toyota that’s blocking my driveway? (Murmured “No”s and shakes of the head.
Second house ME (to nice neighbor): Could you ask your clientele if any of them drives the Toyota that is blocking my driveway?
MINDLESS OAF (raising hand): It’s me, the idiot! (Chuckles and turns back to his “shopping”)
I’m sure you know what happened next, and the car got moved.
12:03 pm on May 31st, 2014
On a slightly different note, today is the 35th anniversary of my wedding to the late Levern F. Graves.
Happy A, Pookie. I’ll be along presently.
12:11 pm on May 31st, 2014
Diane, Don’t leave us too soon!
BSD, We will be sending positive energy in your direction. Please let us know as soon as you hear something.
12:11 pm on May 31st, 2014
Bear, tell Nana we here are sending up prayers for #2 son. And ask her to breathe.
Staff is right about how scary the not-knowing is. We are still awaiting results for Mom’s. Brother. Right now they are leaning toward a case of super heavy-duty gout attack.
Diane, sniff.
12:37 pm on May 31st, 2014
Prayers being sent for Nana and #2 son.
BearSpiritDog: Please remind Nana to eat some healthy food in between waiting and worrying.
DianeC: Happy 35th Anniversary! I hope you had many loving years together.
12:39 pm on May 31st, 2014
Staff: What a wonderful gift! I am looking forward to seeing pictures of your model 20.
When you you get results from your kat scan?
12:39 pm on May 31st, 2014
BSD, what is your #2 son’s name? And yes, prayers are being sent!
12:48 pm on May 31st, 2014
And thinking of you also on this day, Diane.
Big happenings today in my little town of Raymond! It is the 100th anniversary of our general store. It it’s heyday, it was the last train stop before Yosemite. All the neighboring towns are approx 20 miles away, which is a day’s stagecoach ride away.
1:12 pm on May 31st, 2014
Maskers!…Please let Nana know we are thinking of her son and saying strong pug-prayers for him. We are also thinking of Nana and hoping she does not forget to eat so she doesn’t topple over in the midst of this emergency…wheeze!…Eat Nana, Eat!…snort!
1:21 pm on May 31st, 2014
I am going to blur this over to Nana for lunch. Just made this with fresh mixed greens and chopped green onions from the garden, gorgonzola cheese, dried cranberries, and chunks of a chicken tender (just so it wouldn’t be too healthy). And topped with Lighthouse French Dressing.

1:28 pm on May 31st, 2014
Bear, Strong heartfelt prayers for #2 son. Make sure Nana takes of herself. She is very important to all of us.
Wolfie , It is so cool that you still have a general store instead of Wally world. It would be fun to take a stagecoach to Yosemite.
They are working on the swamp cooler again today….something about rusted motor mounts.
1:53 pm on May 31st, 2014
Nana says a Heartfelt Thank You to Everyone for the Prayers for Wes and
may these Prayers of Healing encircle us all.
Trying to keep Nana’s stress level down. Thanks, Maggie, It looks delish. now we don’t have worry about her eating.
Will keep everyone updated as we know more.
Big Hugs to all of youse.
2:12 pm on May 31st, 2014
BSD, did swamp coolers when we lived in Temecula and Sun City, CA. Here in the south, only an AC will do 🙁
2:45 pm on May 31st, 2014
Nana: Prayers are being said for you and your family. The Quilt is ready for you to take up residence.
Beau: Hypugothetically speaking, if two love able miscreants were to prayer their most powerful sled dog prayers for health and healing for members of their chosen family, would the Creator overlook misdeeds of said lovable miscreants and hear their prayers? It’s not us. We are asking for a friend.
2:47 pm on May 31st, 2014
Would the Creator also overlook the oh so many typos in our precious posts? Gah!
3:04 pm on May 31st, 2014
HOH,O’H,Dawson, Wolfie–Thank you all for your good wishes. I’m sure Graves is also appreciating them somewhere.
Thieves–I’m sure your friend has nothing to worry about from an all-knowing (“to know all is to forgive all”) and loving Creator.
B and M–that should put a smile on anyone’s face, not to mention rio’s words of wisdome for all of us: “Eat, Nana, Eat, snort” (or did I get the punctuation wrong?)
3:05 pm on May 31st, 2014
…and someday I will learn to type and close parentheses, or at least proof stuff before posting…
3:24 pm on May 31st, 2014

Hope things are going well for medical reports.
Barb just cut the grass in the backyard and now it is time to relax under the patio umbrella with a book and an ice tea. Picked up The Sinner by Tess Gerritsen at the library yesterday. $1.00 for hard cover. Can’t beat that!
5:25 pm on May 31st, 2014
Party!!!!
Barb, Your good egg, bad egg picture helps mom to remember how to test them. She has a couple of them that are going in the water right now.
6:10 pm on May 31st, 2014
Alice is getting the Lear prepped. Does anyone else need a ride? Abbie is so excited. She just knows that Teddy’s Mom will have the best snacks ready for the party. Abbie says she will be ready to eat!
6:15 pm on May 31st, 2014
Beau: How often should one or two do this repenting thing?
Prayers first, party second.
6:19 pm on May 31st, 2014
I’m flying with Alice….Dog is my Co-pilot
6:28 pm on May 31st, 2014
Debbie LM and Amalia are the best cooks on the blog, so we are excited to see what Deb is serving tonight. I bet there will be more than hot wings and beer (although nothing wrong with hot wings).
6:30 pm on May 31st, 2014
Alice!!…ME!ME!ME!…snort!…Pick me up pronto – there is no way I am missing Lil Teddys Birthday party, plus there is Beer!!…Zoom!Zoom!Zoom!
6:32 pm on May 31st, 2014
2 fish swam into a concrete wall. 1 turns to the other and said, “DAM”
6:36 pm on May 31st, 2014
Nana, thinking and praying for Wes.
OHs, keeping your Mom’s brother in our prayers too.
Please know the blog’s love and support will help you tremendously. The quilt is also a great place to regroup.
Teddy and Zeta, what a couple. They are too cute!
6:36 pm on May 31st, 2014
OK Rio, I will pick you up while on my way to get Mr.Husky. Anyone else down south need a ride?
6:41 pm on May 31st, 2014
HOH–Just got the fish one (groan, but also giggling).
6:43 pm on May 31st, 2014
HOH–Just got the fish one (groan, but also giggling).
Happy Happy to Teddy and Zeta.
6:52 pm on May 31st, 2014
Alice M., could use a ride or we are dependent on Darah’s blurring…not always the most effective…please.
6:54 pm on May 31st, 2014
We’ll bring Memphis b-b-q burgers and shine (?) Can leave the shine if it is not ok.
6:55 pm on May 31st, 2014
Oh, do we have time to throw together deviled eggs?
7:09 pm on May 31st, 2014
The party has started with a bang. Princess Zeta managed to grab an ENTIRE beef tenderloin. And it was off to the races after that!
7:13 pm on May 31st, 2014
If I knew where to send it I’d have a cake for someone to jump out of. Otherwise, I’m goin to the movies.
7:16 pm on May 31st, 2014
Tenderloin!…Zeta is my new Hero!….Woooooo!….Hurry up Alice!…snort!
7:32 pm on May 31st, 2014
HOH, You have time to make some deviled eggs.
7:38 pm on May 31st, 2014
Almost done with the eggs but the DDD left an empty cake here and headed for the movies. What a party pooper 🙁
7:39 pm on May 31st, 2014
We are on our way to the BIG BIRTHDAY BASH. We are bringing ice cream and fresh-picked strawberries. Yumm.
7:39 pm on May 31st, 2014
Sending strong healing prayers to Wes, and ask the Creator to keep Nana well throughout this.
7:42 pm on May 31st, 2014
Staff, I hope you like the little sewing machine. The man in the antique shop said these were made as models for the salesmen to carry. The same store also had a lovely large machine in a cabinet. Grizz may have taken a picture….
7:42 pm on May 31st, 2014
We have the makings for boot rear floats.
Luna can blur anyone who needs as long as you remember her rules.
7:43 pm on May 31st, 2014
Mama Luna, Can you handle both Grizz and I? We will go to the bathroom, not wiggle too much, and bring plenty of snacks.
7:44 pm on May 31st, 2014
OK Rio, Come out of your little yard. We have to go get Siber-H and HOH too you know.
I brought a stuffed pug you can put in the corner of the yard. Your friend will never notice. OH-oh, Is Beau coming? I only have a tan pug stuffie.
7:46 pm on May 31st, 2014
Woseandgrizz: Prepare for lift-off.
7:47 pm on May 31st, 2014
Alice!…Beau has opted to stay home. Like my friend he is afraid to fly, especially with a Kat!…snort!
7:48 pm on May 31st, 2014
Alice!…Watch out for the little garden. If you land on that we are all goners…gasp!
7:57 pm on May 31st, 2014
Glad that everyone is on the way. We have landing lights laid out in the back yard. And plenty of beer, if not that much beef tenderloin left.
7:58 pm on May 31st, 2014
Greetings from post-show central. Looking forward to a long, hot shower or better yet, diving into a vat of Bengay.
After that, we may be (you should excuse the expression) human enough to go to the party. Alice – could you swing by in the Lear. We asked Natasha about a ride in the Porsche but she is off in another mission.
Nana – our prayer tonight will be for your son. And for you.
7:59 pm on May 31st, 2014
We hate it when the DDD uses our ipaw 🙁
We are in the yard awaiting Alice M. with baity breath (so she can find us).
8:03 pm on May 31st, 2014
Tennesse!…Here we come!…snort!…We already picked up SiberH and his make-up kit…heh!…Now to HoHo’s!….wheeze!
8:04 pm on May 31st, 2014
I’m bringing Golinka some chili cheese Fritos
8:04 pm on May 31st, 2014
Mr.Husky was in his driveway with a LED flashlight so we had no problem landing. Heading for the Herd of Hounds. Tupper’s Mama we will be there as soon as the hounds board.
8:05 pm on May 31st, 2014
GEEE-AAAAAGH!….Alice just shifted into Warp Speed Ahead!…wheeze!…Hold onto yer tails everyone!…gasp!
8:05 pm on May 31st, 2014

Golinka!…There will be an extra Baggage Charge for that Callie…snuff!…She is big you know. This is a Kat-sized Lear Jet after-all…snort!
8:09 pm on May 31st, 2014
WosenGrizz, I love the little sewing machine. Here is some info about the little Model 20, with pictures.
http://www.sewalot.com/singer%20toy%20model%2020.htm
8:10 pm on May 31st, 2014
Callie, so glad you are coming along. It’s a tight fit but we have Memphis burgers, deviled eggs, some shine (not for swimming) and a cake. Here we gooooooo….
8:10 pm on May 31st, 2014
Callie, Pay no attention to the Pug. There will be plenty of room in the Lear. It is just like the quilt. Expandable when needed.
8:11 pm on May 31st, 2014
We love blurring the friendly skies with Mama Luna!
8:27 pm on May 31st, 2014
Staff, The info about the little sewing machine is very interesting.
8:28 pm on May 31st, 2014
Wowser, a breathtaking ride, but we will land at the right location. Darah Thea tries hard but sometimes blurs a bit off course 🙁
8:32 pm on May 31st, 2014
Teddy we are approaching the landing lights. Please clear off the driveway….
8:34 pm on May 31st, 2014
Whoo Hoo we have arrived! Hi Teddy, Hi Zeta, Hi Debbie and Maurie. Everything looks GREAT! Oh look there is Wose and Grizz. Hi Guys! uh…cough…where is the FOOD?
8:35 pm on May 31st, 2014
I have to get to the food table before that Pug…
8:36 pm on May 31st, 2014
Dawson, the cake is just big enough for you to pop out of ifn you go to the party. Gotta run, movie is starting.
8:36 pm on May 31st, 2014
Beau: You been so good to help us with religion, that we’d like to repay the favor. Do you need us to help bust the Beausmobile out of hoc?
8:38 pm on May 31st, 2014
Can I go too. Mommy had company here eating cheese and crackers and drinking wine. Then they left me for a while here all alone. Finally Mommy has come back. I want to go to the party.
8:40 pm on May 31st, 2014
Alice, Abbie, Wose, Callie, stop bumping us so we can get the Memphis burgers,
deviled eggs and shine to the table. We’ll send Darah back for the cake in a minute.
8:44 pm on May 31st, 2014
We brought some of Mick, the person not the pup’s shine. Now, that is good stuff.
LouLou: Luna says she can blur by and pick you up, but you need your maw’s permission. We say to the vet with permission!
Where’s the birthday devil dog?
8:49 pm on May 31st, 2014
So glad that everyone could make it. And LouLou, you are most welcome to come too. I promise no boring cheese and crackers. Do you like beef tenderloin? I saved a piece just for you.
8:53 pm on May 31st, 2014
Teddy!…What about ME!?…snort!….Say you have a piece for me too! Or at least show me where the hot-wings are at and the beer, and the cake and IS THAT ABBIE THE KAT eating everything over there??….gah!
8:55 pm on May 31st, 2014
Thieves, send some of that shine over to Grizz and me. That is good stuff!
8:57 pm on May 31st, 2014
Rio! May I have one of your slurpy pug smooches?
8:59 pm on May 31st, 2014
This beef tenderloin is right up there with fish heads. Tail wag to Debbie for her culinary genius.
Rio: We brought extra beer and hotwings for you. Check the sled.
8:59 pm on May 31st, 2014
I bet Debbie LM is whipping up some gourmet sides to go with the beef tenderloin. We like our on the rare side, Teddy.
DDD, What movie are you going to see, some guy thing?
9:00 pm on May 31st, 2014
Rose!…For you my dear, one slurpy, cow-poopy smelling, sloppy pug smooches coming up right on the smacker!…sluuuurp!snort!
9:00 pm on May 31st, 2014
Smack!…And just in time to keep that Annabellie away from me…chorkel!snort!
9:01 pm on May 31st, 2014
SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOCH!!!!!!!!
9:02 pm on May 31st, 2014
RIO! You flirt!!!!
9:04 pm on May 31st, 2014
I’m here at the party like a grown-up dog, and I’m having a wonderful time! Oops. I forgot to get mommy’s permission. Oh well.
9:05 pm on May 31st, 2014
LuLu!…Come over here and try some Shine!….snort!…You little devil you….chuffle!
9:14 pm on May 31st, 2014
LouLou, stay away from that evil pug. He has much more life experience. A first party is a sip of shine only.
9:15 pm on May 31st, 2014
We hate to slurp and run, but bedtime is calling our names. Come on Callie…let’s go.
G’night everyone. See ya later. Bye. Syonara. Ciao. Hasta la pasta.
(Gilly, did you snag some cake? We’re running out of stalling tactics )
9:16 pm on May 31st, 2014
Rio: Now hold it right there. You’re going to hurt our maw’s feelings.
Ruff Rider: Any chance we can take the Teddymobile for a spin? If you can’t get your paws on the keys, not to worry.
LouLou: Uh…Luna is coming your way and she doesn’t look happy.
9:18 pm on May 31st, 2014
Is hasta la pasta the same thing as nighty noodle?
and the pasta salad is superb! Rio can have the wings and beer. I prefer the pasta and shine.
9:21 pm on May 31st, 2014
I’ve been on a strict Hebrew Nationals diet this week—it happens when I turn my snout up at everything else. I brought enough for everyone. Delish!
9:21 pm on May 31st, 2014
T&G, wish your peeps good luck/buena suerte/bon suer and whatever else for the first weekend of the season…hic!
9:24 pm on May 31st, 2014
Staff: How about a game of cards? I came prepared.

Tenzing…heh heh heh. So did I. Do you want to play go fish or hearts?
9:28 pm on May 31st, 2014
Ha ha. Momma Luna, I have ID. It shows I am three years old so no problem with this party.
9:28 pm on May 31st, 2014
Cards? With Staff? How ’bout Dawson after she jumps out of the cake.
YES! we managed to fly here without the assistance of those pushy dogs 🙂
9:28 pm on May 31st, 2014
We give Grizz a 9.5 for his cannonball into the vat of beer. He scored high on degree of difficulty, but we reserved the .5 because we thought the splash could have been bigger. Not bad for a first time.
9:30 pm on May 31st, 2014
Staff: Uhh…maybe we should play tummies. You know, the game where I let you rub my belly. It’s a win-wing game.
9:33 pm on May 31st, 2014
Party!
I almost missed the party!
Happy Birthday Teddy!
Got cake?
Now where’s that DDD? I’m gonna slap him upside the head for some comment he made!
9:42 pm on May 31st, 2014
Dawson: How did you get up in the roof?
9:43 pm on May 31st, 2014
ooooo Fight fight fight…Run DDD. Dawson had the arm of death. When she was young the whole family would run from the arm of death. yikes…
9:44 pm on May 31st, 2014
I wonder if she still has the A of D?
9:46 pm on May 31st, 2014
If cards are involved with Dawson, I fear no evil!
9:48 pm on May 31st, 2014
Arm of Death?
That’s why I have arthritis in that shoulder!
Say, I don’t normally imbibe but I cannot resist that Apple Pie moonshine! Don’t mind if I do!
9:50 pm on May 31st, 2014
Dawson: We can get you an apple pie moonshine hat like Rio’s.
9:53 pm on May 31st, 2014
We like Mick’s shine but aren’t sure about the flight home. We’ll just let our feathers dry first. Sure wish Fern has come.
9:55 pm on May 31st, 2014
Hat!?…What Hat?…snort!
9:58 pm on May 31st, 2014
Thieves! I want the apple pie moonshine hat! Bigger than Rio’s!
TeddyRuffRider: I’d warn you to watch out for Zeta but it’s too late already. She’s got your heart and dog bless the pair of you!
DDD: Fifteen 2, 15 – 4, 15 – 6, 15 – 8 and 8 for a double run is 16!
10:02 pm on May 31st, 2014
TeddyRuffRider: Here’s your birthday present, Teddy. You can share them with Zeta. I was in a rush to get here but had time to gather a few really good sticks! Here you go.
10:06 pm on May 31st, 2014
OK Dawson, 15-2 15-4 15-6. My crib oh look a double 4 card run..6,7,8,9,9 for 16. PFFFFFFFT.
10:07 pm on May 31st, 2014
Dawson!…The only hat I own is a baseball hat…heh!heh!…But a Moonsshine hat sounds amazing!….Woooooo!
10:12 pm on May 31st, 2014
Thieved, Garcia, Tenzing and Abbie and Alice (kats, keep your distance) nice to have met you. Teddy, enjoy the frosted bones our mom made for you (boy are they heavy)
10:16 pm on May 31st, 2014
Rio: The jug of shine strapped to the top of you flat head with two straws leading to your teeth is the hat of which we speak. (Tail wag to B).
Peck: You are the first parrots we’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Is a head bump the proper greeting when greeting birds?
10:19 pm on May 31st, 2014
Teddy, so sorry we missed your party. I had somewhere to go and forgot to tell Macy about it. Sounds like a swinging soiree.
Anybody that has the chance to try the shine of Mick the Person Not the Puppy should definitely give it a try. Smooooooth. I could go for a jar right now. No other container is acceptable.
LouLou, three? really?
10:22 pm on May 31st, 2014
Parrots!….Those Parrots are sure making a Peck of a Mess on Teddy’s Maws floors….snort!chuckle!…Its getting a little slippery around here….Wooooo!
Hat!….Hat O’ Shine sounds heavy….gah!…I think I will stick to a Bowl O’ Shine….wuffle!….Look! Abbie The Kat is finally FULL! and has left the food table…..burp!
10:23 pm on May 31st, 2014
Rio: Hat trick! Thish hat ish the cat’s meow!
DDD,HOH & POP: Thanks for the card games (sigh). Are you all good at cards?
10:27 pm on May 31st, 2014
Oh my. Abbie is passed out. Luckily she found a good place to sleep.

10:28 pm on May 31st, 2014
Macy, Don’t believe it, LouLou is NOT 3.
Great party, and we want a little shot of that Apple Pie Moonshine too.
10:30 pm on May 31st, 2014
A hat for Rio?

LouLou: An ID made by the Thieves does not count. The tip-off was the ‘Pawmade by Southpaw Designs.’ The ‘Created by Lefty’ and ‘Inspected by Pancho’ stickers were also a dead giveaway.
10:38 pm on May 31st, 2014
HAT!…Before I watch that Hat video of Staff’s I want to make an Announcement….snort!
Nana!…She just sent me a text on my little Go-Phone, which is splattered with hot-wing juice, and she told me that her son Wes is in a Room now and getting pain medication….snuffle!…She also says she will check in herself tomorrow. I am sure hoping she is at home now, eating and will soon be in bed…wuffle!…Nana we love youse!
10:41 pm on May 31st, 2014
Clarification!….Nana will not be checking into the hospital, but she will be checking in with the blog tomorrow….sniff!…Just in case any grammar police are sober tonight…heh!burp!
10:42 pm on May 31st, 2014
I echo Rio’s sentiments about Nana. More prayers are being prayed.
10:48 pm on May 31st, 2014
Loulou: You’ren sho mush trouble! (whispering) If you need a fool-proof ID, she Turtleman. He’s professional!
Thieves: An “A” for effort!
I wuz gonna hep clean up but the dishes are all licked clean!
Someone throw me on Alice’s jet airplane!
10:50 pm on May 31st, 2014
Dawson!….Do you play poker?…snort!…Do you have any cold hard cash on you right now?…sniff!
10:53 pm on May 31st, 2014
Goodnight Teddy! Goodnight Zeta!

You are the future!
We love you!
Tummies!
Tummies!
Tummies!
10:54 pm on May 31st, 2014
We are flying to TN now, hopefully in a straight line. We don’t want to get a FUI (flying under the influence). Buenas noches and happy birthday Teddy 🙂
10:55 pm on May 31st, 2014
Dawson: Come with me. I will blur you home and tuck you in.
10:55 pm on May 31st, 2014
Sorry Rio. The Dawson has left the building. Last call for the Lear Jet. Alice will be taking off soon. Alice does not drink any alcoholic beverages so it is safe do ride with her.
Unless of course you mess up her jet. Then you get the old heave ho. She is a tough little kitty.

10:55 pm on May 31st, 2014
Wai! Wha?!
Ummmm, maybe. Why?
10:57 pm on May 31st, 2014
FUI!…snort!heh!snort!….Those Peck O’ Parrots are fun!…heh!…Whoa, watch out for all the slimy pooop they left behind!…gah!whoooops!….Sorry about that glass of beer on your head Alice…heh!
10:57 pm on May 31st, 2014
Happy Birthday to Teddy and Zeta!!
Thank you for a wonderful party!
11:04 pm on May 31st, 2014
Good night and Happy Birthday to Teddy and Zeta.
11:05 pm on May 31st, 2014
Friends don’t let friends drink and blur.
11:06 pm on May 31st, 2014
We of the HOH had a great time, thanks and whoo hoo, yodel, howl. Heading for home. Hope Darah’s blurring home is successful but she is a BIG girl and we will hold tight and not move. A quick pit stop then nighty night.
11:07 pm on May 31st, 2014
Alice is leaving now. She has to get me home soon so hasta la pasta. Rio don’t stay too late. You will miss your jet plane.

Rio: Dammit! Puke!
Oooooooh. Everything’s spinning! Rio! You have 2 tails! Heh! Heh! Let me pull one of them! Please! Puleeeze?? Puleeeze!
11:31 pm on May 31st, 2014
Towel!…Can I have a hot towel please!…grunt!…I hate flying.
11:32 pm on May 31st, 2014
Teddy!….Happy Birthday Pal!….snort!
12:41 am on June 1st, 2014
OK Dawson, nice and easy and straight to bed for you Missy. I know that Apple Pie can spin your propellers!
Sounds like quite a shindig. Wyatt, thanks for the cake.
Big celebration at church in the a.m. so I best blur myself into bed. Or I could just walk. Almost finished with season 2 of Breaking Bad – Badger Busted.
7:45 am on June 1st, 2014
Happy Birthday Teddy and Zeta. I spent the whole birthday bash looking for Kat and Zeus. It seems that someone gave them some of that shine and, well…neither of them can handle their booze. Then Zeus did his famous jig for food, and he OD’d on wings (sorry, Rio). I slept on the couch, and they are both finally beginning to stir. They look terrible and Kat is crying about her head hurting. Sheesh! Kids today!
7:47 am on June 1st, 2014
Also, as Kat is not yet legal, I know for durn tootin’ that LouLou isn’t even close. She is gonna be in so much trouble with her maw. Give her heck, MPM!
8:45 am on June 1st, 2014
What a Party! TeddyRR & Zeta had the Blowout Bash of the Year!!!
We took turns blurring in and out of the Festivities…that is until the shine came out…apple pie my eye. Yark!
Me thinks there were some heads spinning for some of the homeward bound.
Since my drink of choice is cool, cool water and being on guard duty, I did not partake of the shine. Thank Dog!
