Luke and His Toys

Cameron:  Weekends are such fun to post. We get to pick a photo and play with it. 

Marcus:  Play?  Where did you leave it?  I'm in the mood to play.

Rusty:  You're always in the mood to play.  Or create havoc. 

Sam:  We went back into our 20012 photos and pulled out one of Luke when he was a pup. 

Merci:  This is the original.  Like Marcus, Luke loved his toys.  The bigger the pile, the happier he was. 

Micah:  I don't understand how all those toys survived Luke only to be killed / destroyed/ dismembered by Marcus the Murderer.

Marcus:  Aw, guys, that's not fair.  Luke went back to his owners when he was younger.  His jaws weren't as strong as mine are.

Cyndi:  He sure grew to be a big guy with big teeth.  Had Luke stayed longer, we might not have had any toys left for when Marcus arrived.

Buddy:  Well, we enjoyed having him here and were sad when he went home to a bad situation.  At least he ended up with humans who love him.  By now he might have a forever home. 

Marcus:  I met Luke when he was full-grown.  He looks good in dirt, doesn't he?  I know you guys call this photo sepia but I like dirt better..

Buddy:  As far as you're concerned, everyone looks better in dirt. 

Percy:  For Caturday Art we took the original photo and accented the edges.  Gives it a kind of cartoon look.  I like it.  How about you?

Join us at the Sepia Saturday blog hop with host Ruckus the Eskie.

Fleas, Ticks, Joints and Alfie

Cyndi:  We have lots to talk about today so let's just dive in so we can get to the good parts, the freebies.

Micah:  We were glad to have an opportunity to try some Pet Naturals of Vermont products.

Cameron:  Unfortunately, we needed Jan to open the products for us, which she did before taking photos.

Marcus:  She not only opened them first, but she wrote on them.  *paw to head*  Oh, the shame of having to post a used product photo.

 

Merci:  Here is Jan using a towelette to apply the natural Flea & Tick repellent on Sam's back.  She started out using one of these on each of us dogs for a couple of days and then changed to every two or three days.  We line up for a turn because we get a full body massage with it.  Oh, does that feel good.  To us.  Jan kind of creaks and groans. 

Percy:  The wipes are for dogs, cats and horses.  Jan was supposed to try the towelettes on the dogs, but she decided to also ry to use the wipes on us kitties to see how we'd do with them.  She wimped out after wrestling with three of us.  We were totally uncooperative. 

Sam:  * grin*  There's no nip scent.  That's why the cats don't like them. The towelettes are moistened with the oils of lemongrass, cinnamon, sesame and castor. These oils mask your pet's scent and repels pests. Jan thinks the towelettes smell good but she's not a flea or tick. 

Buddy:  I have the most sensitive skin and allergies, so Jan was anxious to try this product on me.  I haven't been using it long but Jan is pleased I seem to be scratching and chewing less and she hopes it continues. The other dogs are scratching less.too.

Pet Naturals is offering a special deal. The first 100 submissions at http://www.petnaturals.com/fleaandtick-offer/ will receive a FREE 8 oz. Bottle of the Flea and Tick Spray and a valuable coupon.  After the first 100 entries, a valuable discount coupon will be emailed. So if you would like to try this natural repellant for your pet, don't delay.

Rusty:  Jan thought it would be best to let me try the Hip + Joints for Cats since I am such a large cat.  I have been receiving two twice a day.  She took some photos when she introduced me to the chews but most were too blurry to see more than a mass of fur because I was moving so fast.  Here I am taking one from Jan's fingers. 

Rusty:  This is me after I finished.  She made it black and white so I'm not a total blur.  I have been eating my chews with gusto each day.  When the bag is opened, the other kitties (and woofies) rush to try to steal them.  They smell appetizing and are tasty.  I'd have to take them a lot longer to know if they are helping me but Jan says the main ingredients are very good for joints:  Glucosamine HCl, MSM, Condroitin Sulfate, Ascorbic Acid (Vit C), DMG, EPA, DHA and Manganese.

Pet Naturals is offering a special deal. The first 100 submissions at http://www.petnaturals.com/hipandjoint-offer/ will receive a Free Bag of Hip + Joint for Cats and a valuable coupon.  After the first 100 entries, a valuable discount coupon will be emailed. So if you would like to try this natural product for your cat, don't delay.

Sam:  I'm such a big dog Jan is concerned for my joints as I age.  So she suggested I try the Hip + Joint bone-shaped chews for medium and large dogs.  This was my first one.  Please explain to Jan that I am not a pig just because I swallow them whole.  Marcus is doing a dance.  Percy is trying to steal the bag.  All the Funny Farmers want to steal my chews.  I have to swallow them whole!  Well, that and I want more.

Sam:  Uh, what do you mean I only get 3?  I'm a big boy.  I should get more.  Okay.  I'll wait till dinnertime, if I have to.

Full of Energy

Cyndi:  Pssst, it's Cyndi here.  We've been trying to write a post for tomorrow but we're so hot and tired we can't think.  It's been a busy, hot and humid week so we're closer to falling asleep than thinking clearly. 

Buddy:  Speak for yourself, Cyndi.  I'm always alert and .... sorry, I feel a bit tired. I'll just lay my head down for a sec -  zzzzzzz.

Percy:  You know, he looks so comfy lying there with his head on the footstool and his butt in the air.  Do any of you mind if I join him?

Merci:  That sounds like a great idea, but ladies don't sleep in that position.  Cyndi and I will sleep in a position suitable for ladycats.  You guys can sleep standing on your head if you want.

Micah:  Since the fan is aimed at the computer, I think I'll sprawl on my back on the desk.

Sam:  Be careful.  Jan got a stiff neck and an ear infection from the fan blowing over her shoulder.

Cameron:  Micah, move.  I can't see what I'm typing with your feet in the air in front of the monitor.

Rusty:  Cameron, why don't you let Marcus do the typing tonight?  He's taller than you so he can see over Micah's feet and he's always full of energy.  Where is Marcus??  Has anyone seen Marcus? 

Marcus:  What?  Oh, sorry, I must have dozed off for a minute. What are we thankful for this week?  Oh, that's easy.  We're thankful we haven't melted yet.  And if we get our ac unit fixed or replaced, we'll be thankful for that too.  And we'll be ... *yawn*  Sorry about that.  We'll be .... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

We're joining Pepi Smart Dog for the Thankful Thursday blog hop.

Dense and Engrossed

Buddy:  We have to agree with this video.  We dogs - and cats - hate the internet. 

Cyndi:  But only when our human is more interested in what is happening on the internet than what is happening with us. 

Micah:  After all, we're flesh and blood.  We entertain and commiserate and cuddle and keep you busy cleaning up our vomit and ...

Merci:  I think you better stop there, Micah. Jan is a bit dense and is frequently so engrossed in something online she doesn't know we're here ....

Cameron:  But we need to keep a low profile about making her clean up vomit.  Better to remind her of the fun things we bring into her life.

Rusty: Yes, the good things of life.  And the fun things.  So let's enjoy the talking dog video.

Marcus:  Yesterday we published a sepia and an arty copy of this photo.  If you haven't seen me as a mud dalmatian, you have to go take a look at A Good Dirty Picture post.  I am stunning in dirt and mud!

Percy:  Marcus is a little strange but he's young yet and he'll grow out of it.  Hopefully. 

Sam:  This is the black and white version for B&W Sunday.  Percy has such bold stripes, no matter what color his picture is.
