HAPPY HALLOWEEN

WooHoo!!!    I'm off to Dory's Halloween Party!  

As you know, I won a costume from from Diana (Angel Jazzi's mom).

It was a tad x-large on me.  So I had Mom alter it.

Before Mom's "Make it Work' moment.

After.

Now, I only have one complaint… SHE did not cut holes for me ears.   

Doesn't SHE know dat my ears are a BIG part of my signature look?  Well, dat and my beard.  

How am I gonna hear anyone at da pawty?  

I may have to ditch dis hood after I make my grand entrance at da pawty.

Dat's better.

 And now for a few laughs… 

• How do the fish get to school?     By octo-bus!
• How do you make an Octupus laugh?     With ten-tickles 
• How does an octopus go to war?     Well-armed! 
• What does an octopus wear on a cold day?     A coat of arms!
• What's wet and wiggly and says how do you do 16 times?    Two octopuses shaking hands.
• What does an octopus take on a camping trip?    Tent-acles!
• What does a squid sheriff form?    An octo-posse!
• How do you confuse a stupid octopus?    Get it count to nine!
• Who was the most famous pirate octopus?    Captain Squid!
• What's an octopuses favourite latin saying?    Squid pro quo!

 See y'all at da Pawty.

Holly Green Anole

Mom, Mom…… LOOKY, LOOKY !!!!!

What's dat?

Darn…. I can't get to it, even if I do my jumpy, jumpy thingy.

Its a Green Anole 

I usually chase des guys around in my yard but I've never seen one in my window.   He's stuck between da screen and da window glass.   It seems like da screen had slipped down in one corner and dat's how he got in between da screen and da glass.   After Mom did some tappin on the window.. he slipped back out the hole and then Mom opened da window to slide and clip da screen back in place.

I guess da show is over. (sigh)

Now I don't know who dis Matrix Partners peeps are but dey sent me Spring Naturals Grain Free 95% Turkey & Salmon Treats.

Can you believe it?

Now des treat don't look or feel like all my other treats.

Dey kinda have da texture of wood bark.  I wasn't sure if I should play wiff it or eat it.

It smelled amazing so I decided to chomp on it.

OMD…… it was PAWSOME.

Da ingredients are:  Turkey, salmon, apples, natural flavor, salt, molases, chickpeas, spinach, blueberries, cranberries, flaxseed, rosemary extract, apricots, dandelion greens, calcium propionate, and zinc propionate.

Now I don't know what a propionate is but dey sure tasted yummy.

I loved dem… but Mom thought dey were a bit too fishy smelling.  What does she know… I like fishy smells.

Whoever sent dis to me…. THANKS.   Hummmmmmmm….. I wonder who my mystery treat gifter is.

Mischief makin wiff my BFFs

Arrrrrrrrrrrooooooooo!   Finn & Wally invited me over for another playdate.   I was beside myself wiff excitement on the ride over.

Hey boys…. I'm here!

After we caught up, I told Finn all about my new girlfriend, Daisy.   Next time I'm going to have to bring him a picture of her to show Finn.    Wally wasn't too interested in all dat girly stuff.    He'd rather just play ball.

Wally is a real Ace ball player.

We all raced around dar yard and patrolled da parameter to make sure dar were not any holes in da fence.  Some of the time we were hidden from da mom's view while we scoped out stuff behind da shurbs.   I think dis made mom a bit anxious... she likes to keep her eye one me.  Den I decided da it would be fun to make a little mischief.

I hid behind da shrubs while Wally and Finn ran out into da yard (in full view).   I stood still so Mom could not hear where I was.  Den… when she called me.. I just ignored her.  Hehehe…. it was great fun.   Suddenly da boys' mom shouted TREATS and I came a runnin.
 
Yep…. and dat's how it's done.

After all dat racin, patrollin, and mischief makin we stopped to refuel.

Slurp, slurp.

Break time.

What can I say…  Life is Good when you're wiff friends (under da table).

I hope you had a grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat weekend too.

My favorite stuffie

I have a big basket full of stuffies.   I like to spread dem all around da house, but when mom gets da vacuum out, she put dem all back in my basket.   I den have to root through dem to pull out my favorites again.

Of all my stuffies…. dis is still my favorite & biggest stuffie.    

It makes a mighty good pillow, don't ya think? 

I haven't seen some of my stuffies in a long time.  Dey are still in da Stuffie Hospital.   I miss dem. (sigh)

Maybe dis isn't such a good idea.
No…. I'm gonna be brave and jump in.

Yikes…. it is gettin deep.
OMD…. I see a big wave comin…..
