A piggy party!  Why am I knot there?

I can’t be a toy flanger.  My toys are for super chewers and are heavy.  
Thanks for updates on Miss Sherrie.  And I hope it was just too much fun for Flizzie.

I don’t know what corns are but it don’t sound like a good time.

Any snack requests? mom sez sorry for the delay

[LBass]

I'm sure you'll all be thrilled to receive an update on my computer saga.  That's typed in the sarcasm font.   When I unboxed the laptop there was a repair summary enclosed in which they said they had replaced the disk drive--no reimagaing/factory reset!    That means that all my setup and data are still there!    Apparently the fellow at Lenovo with whom I spoke was wrong.   This repair is what I thought needed to be done, so I'm even a bit optimistic. Such relief!

 

[Mercsmom]

I just made some oatmeal cookies and almond cookies.  I can share those.

To go with, could we have something cheesy, please?  You know, the hot, bubbly, melty kind?

[Potomacpupsmom]

Miss Jen, Momma wuld like sumthing chocolate for the hoomans!

[mychip1]

Nom, nom, nom....mama lubz chocolate.

Hello my Friendlies!!

We were getting rainings on us last nite for last outs!!!    But it's probly gonna be dry most of today, tho cloudy and cooler.  Momma felted like she *had* to move the little thermometer that control the hot air blower into a pozishun where it mite come on!!!    

OK.  So alla you guys good thots musta worked cause Flizz is walking all normill so far this morning.  Me and her were drag racing affer skwerrils on Windsday and Momma thinks that's what caused alla the limps for Flizz.  Plus also, she had to spend, like, a whole hour getting a big horrible glob of pitch outta her alla fer feets yesserday affernoon!!!  Used almost a whole little bottle of ahnd sanitizer!!    There was, like, stikks and rocks and all sorts of stuff all stukk to her, so that couldn'ta been comfy at all!!

Thanks for the snakkings Miss Jenn!!!    

Miss Lizabeth it makes us happy that you founded a volunteering that soots you and your bestest hobbies!!    Where's your cookies??  Shove some throo the YuuEssBee for ME!!   

Miss Loosy, we're glad your lapper topper sounds like it's gonna be fine affer alla the drama!!  Mister Nate, Momma sometimes forgets to put our muzzles on and we get to be outside without em!!  The sniffings are sure a lot more betterer without!!    

Mister Gino, have your Momma take a picher of your foot and we can tell her if it's a corn or not.  It could just be a "cutaneous horn" or some other sorta thing.  My bruther Whiskey did NOT like having anybody mess with his feets eether.  Forchoonately, his corning usually self-hulled itself, and would fall out on it's own.  It also didn't bother him too much otherwise, so Momma just leaved it alone. 

Hope you're not freezing to deth Miss Vanessa!!

Hahaha!!!  Miss sadie chomped her sloff!!!    

How's your Daddy today Miss Ivy??  Is he still liking that sugar free and caffeene free coke??

And Miss RE Carol comed outta her two proseedures a-ok!!   

Miss Ducky we're glad you got a walkie in this morning!!  Momma says she can commishurate about the knee thing.    

I think we are getting lunchings delivered today so I gotta go make sure Momma puts our bakkin in the cart!!  Then, she has deecided, she will clean out the two shelffs of cooking books that she doesn't use anymore.  This is gonna take a long time, cause she will hafta look at each book, and see of there's, like, good recipees, and she's gots a whole, completely stuffed filing folder of paper recipees she's printed or cut out.  So I can see this being a multi day project!!    But she's gonna move stuff around on alla the shelfs so Daddy can reach em more betterer, and get stuff offa our stove so she mite be able to cook something again someday!!!    

Wishings for a fabuloso Friedday for all my Friendlies!!

BYE-EEE!!!

Read everything and sending love and healing thoughts to everyone who needs them  I just can't type much at the moment, as my right index finger has suddenly started hurting a lot (  ) and it hurts to type. Maybe I bumped it? Who the heck knows. I'm not right in the head these days 

[Mercsmom]

Checking in on our Flizzie and glad to hear she's o.k.

Ooh!  Lookit that cheesy thing in the casserole!   I'm going to take have some of that.  Don't worry, I'll share not.  You can totally have some Touch it and die.

[palmettobug]

Like, sticky, tarry, sappy things? Iffn yoo park unner a conifer, dey like to drop it on yer car and make yoo swear.

Oh, and barkin ob cars, da price for da noo VW Electric Van iz owt, it iz NAWT affordable and da range iz really bad. And yoo don't ebben get a wizard painted on da side.

[sabrina]

Miss Jen as always you bring get snacks. 

Well I am going bed & mom is going to watch the Phillies lose again

Bitzi 

[greysmom]

OK.  A glob of pitch is a big wad of... pitch.  The kind that comes outta a tree!  Mostly it falls from the limbs onto our outside beds, and all over the ground.  Then we step in it and then whatever we step in affer that gets stuck to our futs!  Like dirt, and sticks and other little things and little rocks.  So by the time we let Momma know there's a problem it's a whole mess of congealed stickiness.  Mostly up into that cavity in the bottom, but in between the toes too.  And all over the little toe hairs!

Anyway, imagine pouring cold honey all over your foot and then walking around on it outside.  Momma says it's a nitemare! 

Here a pitch puddle.  This is what forms on the ground and then we step in it.  That big glob on the end is about the size of my paw!
