Mushy Monday

Posted on October 5, 2015 by onespoiledcat

YUCK!

Indeed it’s mushy Monday – we have more rain than we need so the ground is totally mushy and muddy and icky and Mom has been washing my tootsies when we get back inside from a rainy walk! Puddles EVERYWHERE………which has one UPSIDE which is more worms! I don’t eat them mind you, I just poke at them with my paw…….the ones that are alive (some of them drown themselves I think) kind of squiggle and wiggle and I think that’s just plain FUN.

Anyway, today is Pre-Teaser Monday in addition to being mushy outside so I do hope you’re ready for tomorrow? You will NOT NOT NOT be getting two days to study the photo this week though – oh no – Mom and Dad are NOT going away so as usual, tomorrow morning you’ll get to see the photo – keep staring at it all day if you wish – but Wednesday morning we will be handing out badges to those who have SHARP EYES and a knowledge of geography! Yep that’s right! This one is NOT a Guest Teaser either…………….so there!

Badges? Did I say badges?

BADGES not BADGERS!!!!!

We may actually see some sunshine this week…………….Joaquin is gone except for some rain showers………we have forgotten what blue skies look like though so we’re going to be glad to see that……….Mom says she’ll have to wear sunglasses for DAYS to get used to all that light since we’ve been in the shadows and under the storm clouds for so long. Not me – I’ve enjoyed the fires in the fireplace and the cozy blankies and laps but I guess it WOULD be nice to stroll through the yard without getting my paws dirty. I don’t like those “foot baths” !!!

Not for me thank you!

See you tomorrow – what time? I’m not telling you! It’s going to be a surprise like it ALWAYS is on Tuesdays!

Hugs and Happy Mushy Monday!

Sammy the Tease

P.S. Happy Birthday to my Pop! He’s 87 bazillion years old today!

Thankful to have Dad

Glad the sun might put in an appearance soon, you’re right about those muddy paws, we don’t like them either 😉 Happy Birthday to Pop – is he getting a bacon treat? 😀

we have tons of rain now too…I think to have some gondolas would be a good idea… I’m probably not there tomorrow because of the hell-bow surgery, but in honor of the weather I make a wild guess: venice! ha!
Happy Happy Birthday to your best pop!

  We will be sending POTP to Mom tomorrow…….AND I hope you don’t let your Dad build that gondola or some kind of disaster will occur – I’m SURE of it! HAHAHAHAHA So you’re “pre-guessing” on the Teaser huh? Venice? I think we all need a gondola with all the rain!

  Oh how nice! We wish we’d get some “WARM” again – this week we will see the sun finally and temps in the 70s…..weather has been weird everywhere so I think we’re ALL a bit “weather-obsessed” !!

My mum doesn’t like muddy paws because I always make a beeline for the bed when I come in and it’s a mad dash to see who gets there first. Our sun has gone and the rain came back last night. It is horrible today. Joaquin is forecast to reach us by the weekend but hopefully will have weakened coming across the Atlantic.
A very Happy birthday to your dad!
