“Fractured Fryday Hairy Tails” - Special Delivery

Here's my tail…...
Yesterday, I was all snuggled in for my afternoon snooze when da doorbell rang.

Yippy…. I love it when da bell rings cuz dat means company or pressies.

I ran to da front door and jumped up and down while Mom opened da door.   She found a shoe box sitting on da front porch and we saw da delivery man driving off to his next stop.

Drat…. shoes.  Dat box looks way to big for my shoes so it must be a package for Mom.
Mom snagged da box and read da label.  OMD….. it's a Special Delivery package for ME!   I checked out da label and it was from a Mr. Wayne in Gotham City.

Mom gave me my package and I gave it da foodable sniff test.   Hummmmm…. I don't smell any foodables.  (Sigh)

When I opened the box I was startled to find an envelop wiff da Bat seal on it.  I never got me one of these before.

It was labeled "CONFIDENTIAL - For Ranger's Paws ONLY".
I quickly took to rippin open da envelope and you'll never guess what I found.

OMD…. it's a map to the Bat Cave !

There was also a document wiff detailed structions, but I'm not allowed to show dem to you.   It's a Bat Family secret.    Da structions said dat after I study da map, I have to eat it so it would not get into villainous hands.   Now I have to tell you, da it did not taste or smell too good but I obeyed da structions and da secret map is save.    Oh… and da map in dis postie will self-distruct in 24 hrs.

So now I know how to get to da Bat Cave for our Bat Cave Pawty on Friday August 8th. You're probably wondering how you will get to da Pawty…. well, I'll meet ya'll at da Gotham City airport and my friend Alfred will drive us dar in a super big limo bus.

We have to keep da blinds closed so you can't see where we'll be going but we can watch movies while we cruise.

If you missed da Pawty announcement details,  Click Here to read all about it.   I hope to see y'all there.

Flashback Friday - Ears up!

Baby Ranger  (5 weeks old)

Holy Puppy!

Pees….. I have a really big bat announcement on Monday.   I'll send up da Bat signal.

Not Wordless Wednesday. Not Batman?

My good buddy Braeden told me dat I might not be Batman.   So I did me some research on my yaptop.

OMD….   Im Bat-Dog!

Here's what I learned…..

Ace Ranger was a German Shepherd Scottie originally owned by an engraver named John Wilker.  He was found by Batman and Robin after his master was kidnapped by a gang of counterfeiters.  Batman used Ace Ranger to try to locate Wilker.

Because he had already placed a large number of "lost dog" announcements for Ace Ranger in his civilian identity of Bruce Wayne, he was concerned that anyone recognizing Ace Ranger (who had a prominent star-shaped marking on his forehead) might make the connection between Bruce Wayne and Batman. To forestall that problem, he hastily improvised a hood-like mask for the dog that incorporated the bat emblem as a dog tag dangling from Ace's Ranger's collar.  Ace Ranger was subsequently christened "The Bat-Hound Dog" by a criminal he helped Batman to apprehend.

Wilker later took a new job that made it difficult for him to take care of Ace Ranger, so he left the dog to Bruce Wayne.  Wilker was never aware that Ace Ranger was the Bat-Hound Dog or that Bruce Wayne was Batman.

At one point, Ace Ranger acquired super-powers thanks to Bat-Mite but this was short-lived.  For example; his specialized radio collar, when activated told him to don his own mask (via a hands-free device) and track down Batman and Robin.

He now lives in NC wiff his Mom and Aunty D.   Dar you have it!

 Wags, 

                                  Ranger (alias Bat-Dog)

Pees….. I also learned that we (da Bat family) have access to da Batboat, Batcopter, Batcycle, Batmobile, and da Batplane.   Cool huh?

Mischief Monday - my latest discovery

OMD… dis will change everything.

Yo Mom, I need to get me a really cool car and a Robin…. or maybe a bunny.

Flashback Friday - Frankfurter

When I was a wee little laddie, dis was one of my favorite toys.

It's a frankfurter on a bun wiff lettuce.

Frankfurters are great in da summertime.  Don't ya think?

W-H-A-T?
It was a really hot squeaky toy back den.
Everyone wanted one.

I don't have dis frankfurter anymore.   I kinda wore it out. 

  

Now I have something even better.   

I have a best furfriend named Frankie Furter.

Oh… and he squeaks too (if you pull his tail)!

And now for a wee little Friday Frankfurter waggery:

Q: What did the hot dog bun say to the hot dog? 

     A: Stop touching my buns! 

Q: What do you call a hot dog with nothing inside it? 

     A: A "hollow-weenie!" 

Q: What do get when you cross a chili pepper, steam shovel, and a Chihuahua? 

     A: A hot, diggety dog. 

Q: What did the Mama Hot Dog say to the little frankfurter? 

     A: Ketch-up! 

Happy Frankfurter Friday!

Peanut Butter filling

A   B-O-N-E  !?!?!

OMD….. Mom gave me a  B-O-N-E !!

I must have done somthin really good to get me a BONE.   I get loads of cookies, but hardly ever, ever get me a BONE.

Gnaw, gnaw, gnaw.   Yummmmmmmm.

I just can't get me enough of dis peanut butter filled Bone.
Are you jealous yet?  Is your mouth watering?

Dis is grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!

 Ut Oh….. Mom looks like she is gonna snatch my new Bone away from me.   She is such an Indian giver.   She only lets me have it for a wee little bit.   I think dat she is afraid that I will eat off big chips and get sick.

Now dis is better.  
She can't reach me here under da table.
Now who's da smarty scottie?

My strategy worked for awhile, but den she bribed me wiff some cheese and den snatched my bone while I was gobblin up da cheese.

Oh well…. I guess dis is what dey call a win, win moment.
I got me some C-H-E-E-S-E !!!!   YUMMMMM.

Pees….  Authur, da One CAT, is all gone and he left me some new sticks/branches/twigs to play wiff.  Nice of him huh?

AND……...

Happy Birthday Noodles!
Pop on over and share da cheer.

Intruder Alert - Authur

Mom says dat Hurricane Authur is right off our coast.

I don't like Authur cuz he delayed my morning walk.   We had to wait a bit until da rain band moved.   It's supposed to get worse later today… well at least dat's what da NC governor says.   Fortunately it is only a One CAT Hurricane.   Yup…. I said CAT!  

Back to my morning walk…. look what I saw!

Is it a flower?

Doesn't smell like a flower.
Mom says its a spinner.
Pretty cool, huh?

And as we hurried down da street I found some flags.

My hood never looked so nice.

Gotta run… before it starts raining again.
