Dirt is not a Color

Cameron:  It's good to be back.  We missed the art posts last weekend because Jan was playing games with our computer.

Merci:  No, she wasn't playing games, she was ... she was ... I don't know what she was doing and I don't think she did either but I do know she was not having any fun.

Rusty:  Jan recently took some indoor photos with her new camera.  She couldn't get any decent photos of us cats after her old camera flew across the room and dropped on cement,. 

Micah:  I feel like royalty.This weekend my picture is being featured.  How do I look in sepia?

 

Buddy:  For Caturday Art, Jan made a "cutout" from the sepia picture and then she framed it.  I'm not sure why it's called a cutout.  I don't see any missing pieces.  Do you?

 

Percy:  Here is the original photo. Well, part of it.  Micah posed nicely but he was right beside Jan's cleaning supplies, so she cropped them out.  That's okay, this is Micah's best feature - his face. 

Marcus:  Are you sure?  I'm kind of partial to his tail.

Cyndi:  That's only because you're always chasing his tail - our tails.  You think we cats want to roughhouse with you.

Sam:  Here's a preview of tomorrow's black and white version.  Micah is handsome in any shade of color.

Marcus:  I'm quite handsome in dirt.  It matches my complexion.

Buddy:  Marcus, dirt is not a color.  It's a state of mind.

Marcus:  Are you saying I have a dirty mind?

Percy:  No, Buddy is saying you are what you think ... so you're dirty.

Mousebreath Texans

Rusty:  This has been a busy week and it isn't over yet!  Watching Jan stress out has made us realize how much we need a vacation ... from her.

Micah:  Yes, things are much calmer around here when she's not home, but she turns the computer off when she's not here.  Something about not trusting us.  Excuse me, do we look untrustworthy?

Cyndi:  Jan has been working hard to figure out some things on this computer.  Tonight (Thursday) she spent hours learning this new DVD set-up to save our work before she makes some changes.

Cameron:  We fell asleep, it was so boring.  At least we finally have a few minutes to do a quick post. 

Percy:  We hope you will pop over to read our latest Mousebreath ezine interview.  This week we tell the story, Texas Trio ... Travis, Crockett and Maurice. 

It's also time for the Pet Parade with your hosts Rascal and Rocco and your co-hosts Bionic Basil, Barking from the Bayou, Love is being owned by a husky, and yours truly (Jan's Funny Farm).

Don't forget there are two parts to the parade. The first part is the blog hop and right below it is the social media part.

Snow on the Nose

Buddy:  Jan took this photo of me earlier this summer.  We went for a walk, just the two of us.  She sat on that concrete slab for a long time and talked to me.  It was the best day I've had in ages.  Well, except the time ... no, I don't think I should tell that story today.

Cyndi:  What story?  Did I miss something?

Rusty::  No, you didn't miss anything.  Buddy just doesn't want to tell the truth.

Micah:  What truth is that?

Marcus:  That he forgot what he was going to say.

Merci:  That's not possible.  Jan is the one with the bad memory.

Percy:  Yes, but we're all getting older and we sometimes have the same problem now. 

Sam:  Look at that snow on Buddy's roof.  No, that's not right.  Look at the snow on his nose. 

Cameron:  Buddy has more white on his face than Merci does. Your were born with a white face, Sam. .I wonder how you'll show your age in a year or two? 

Marcus:  I'm glad Buddy is still around. There's a lot he can teach me.  I already know not to steal his food!

Crash and Collide

Rusty:  We also have a few more Fractured Paw Awards to pass on to some humans who were nominated by their furries. 

Cameron:  We are pleased to share this prestigious award to the following bloggers.  And Jan is always pleased to know she isn't the only accident prone person around.  :)

Merci:  If your human is eligible, please let us know.  Your humans doesn't have to actually break any bones.

We Bees Siameezers:  Our Meowmy/Growlmy likes to test out stairs she discovers, in homes, churches, and other buildings...she tests almost all of them by falling down them, and yes, she's done the falling up maneuver too.  Amazingly the only broken bone she knew about was her foot, when she wasn't doing stairs, but showing off how her pawrents' puppy pranced, MOL/BOL!   And she has a healed vertebrae fracture in her mid back, from a tumble you guessed it...down some stairs...carrying her seven month old first son, our unfurbro. Simba was at the top of those stairs and he tripped her. Or so she says, MOL/BOL!  She didn't even know she had that fracture until about 18 years later after a routine chest xray. Go figure.  Oh and she fell off a chair while stnding on it to get in a closet...we think our Meowmy/Growlmy is dangerous to herself.

All Fur One and One Fur All:  Their Fozziemum:said, "Slipped on black ice on the step..hit my head on a rock..i always cut myself..trip..slip..twist ankles..hit arms..i am a one woman hazard zone guys.  There are so many of us clutzes out there Jan."

Buddy: We thank you for having some fun with us.  We try not to let Jan take herself too seriously.

Percy:  So we laugh when she collides with something.  Or flies through the air.

Marcus:  It amazes me that Jan can fly, even for a short distance.

Cyndi:  Of course, she doesn't fly far.  And she always crashes.

Micah:  Do you think we should chip in to send her to charm school?

Rusty: She collides with everything and crashes in flight.  I think we should send her for a crash and collision survival course.
