Frankie Friday!

Hi everybuddy!

Okay, I know we’re s’posed to be on a blogging break but I just couldn’t let this Most Momentous day pass without joining my furends in honoring our Most Wonderful Mayor of Blogville, Frankie Furter!

Now, I think Frankie is one of the bestest dawgs I know. See, he was one of my very first furends here in Blogville. I remember the day I found his bloggie and oh, did he make me laugh! I was sure hoping he’d want to be furends but I was so new and he already had lots of furends and I didn’t know if he’d want another one. But knowing what I know now abouts Frankie — I shouldn’t have been worried at all. I think almost as soon as he got my pawment, he came over and left one for me. He made me feel so warm and welcome right away and I don’t think I could ever thank him enough for that.

It’s things like that that make him the pawfect Mayor cuz he does that for all of Blogville’s residents. He makes you feel a part of the community right away. And he organizes such fun things to get everybuddy involved — like playing the Name Game! (That’s prolly one of my most favoritest events we’ve ever had in Blogville.) Oh! And remember how we were all invited to his wedding? He and his brides wanted to make sure that everybuddy was included and gosh, we all just had the bestest time, didn’t we?

Now, we all know Frankie knows how to have a good time. (I mean, I heard those stories abouts his bachelor pawty.) But he’s also there whenever anybuddy needs a helping paw. Whether it’s putting together an auction to raise green papers or just getting the word out about a furend in need, Frankie has one of the biggest and best hearts around.

So that’s why I’m awfully glad to pawticipate in this day that’s all about you, Frankie! I hope you know how much we all appreciates your kindness, your generous spirit and your wacky sense-of-humor. I count myself lucky 87 million times a day that you’re my furend!

A Blogging Break

Hi everybuddy!

As you can prolly tell from this picture…

We are busy, busy, busy arounds our house right now. Lotsa stuffs going on. So we’re gonna take a blogging break for the rest of this month.

In the meantimes, I’ll still be updating my Facebark page so if you’re on Facebark and you haven’t “liked” me yet, what are you waiting for?

Hope you all have a super duper May and we’ll see you next month!

An Intruder in Our Midst

From: Queen Abigail, Ruler of All That She Surveys
To: Her Friends, Followers and Supplicants

Greetings and Salutations,

Today We send you this missive from the safety of Our bunker in a top-secret, undisclosed location.

We are here to report some grievous and most disturbing news. It seems Our Queendom has been invaded by an intruder of shifty and nefarious character.

We believe that he possesses mystical powers because he seems to have brainwashed our staff. We have actually heard them refer to him as “adorable.” Adorable? Really? You call THIS adorable?

No, darlings, THIS is adorable…

To Our shock and dismay, even the canine members of Our court have succumbed to his spell.

We alone seem to be immune to his particular brand of black magic. We have ordered Our staff to remove him from Our castle at once but they reply, in a most condescending and untoadie-like manner, “Oh, Abby, you’ll get used to him. In fact, you’ll be good friends before you know it!” To which We hissingly retort…

NEVER!

And so We are reaching out to you, Our dear, dear friends in Blogville. What might one do to break the dark spell and return peace to Our land? How might We vanquish this most devilish of beasts?

Sincerely and Gratefully,

Queen Abigail, Ruler of All That She Surveys

Postscript: Until such time that this dastardly foe is defeated, might you be so kind as to send extra treats to Our safety bunker? We seem to be running low and We dare not venture far from Our refuge. Friskies are Our favorite. Simply address the package: Queen Abigail, Top Secret Bunker Location, Colorado, USA. 

Almost Wordless Wednesday

When we go for our walkie, we never even PEE on this man’s lawn…

Just a Teensy Reminder

I am posting this very much adorable picture of me so everybuddy remembers that this is Mayzie’s DOG Blog. NOT Smudge’s CAT Blog.

Just sayin’…

Wordless Wednesday: Learning to Blog

Meet Smudge — my new brudder!

Hi everybuddy! Guess what? Over the weekend, we adopted me a new kitteh-brudder. Isn’t he the cutest?

His name is Smudge and I would luvs to tell you all about him but, well, we haven’t actually met in the furs yet. Mom says we’re gonna take things slow and easy and let everybuddy adjust. But I’ve smelled him under the door and believes me, he smells very nice. So I asked mom to take him the yaptop and let HIM tell you his story. So here he is!

Hello everyone! Gosh, it’s awfully nice of my new sister to let me borrow her blog to tell you about myself. I can’t wait to meet her for real!

Well, let’s see, where should I start? 

I don’t remember too much about the first humans I lived with. I do know they stole the claws off ALL FOUR of my paws, if you can believe it. Then they said something about how they had to move and they couldn’t take me. “Sorry about that, Mugens.” (Mugens was my original name). And so they dropped me off at this place called the Humane Society. 

Anyway, I hung out there for awhile, hoping for a new family to come along. I mean, I had SO much love to give and nobody to give it to. Well, one day, I heard one of the people there say that my time was running out. I don’t know what that meant exactly but luckily, before that happened, some nice people from a place called HemoSolutions came and took me away.

They told me I had been selected for a Very Important Job. They said that my mission, if I chose to accept it, was to give up some of my blood every few weeks to help other kitties who were sick. They promised that I would only do this for about a year or so and then I could retire and find my very own family. 

Now, I won’t kid you. This sounded kind of scary to me. But then I thought about all those sick kitties and I gathered up every bit of my courage and said that I would do it.

This is my courageous face. Do you like it?

And you know what? It wasn’t so bad. When it came time for me to give my blood, it didn’t really hurt and it was over super fast. All the rest of the time, I got to hang out with other kitties and love on the humans and play with toys. Well, before I knew it, my enlistment was up and they told me I was free to start looking for a place to retire.

It took me a few months but on Friday, I found it! 

And gosh, was it ever worth the wait. I have my very own room with a humongous window and a comfy bed and lots of toys to play with. But the very best part — the part I’ve been waiting for all my life — is my new mom and dad. They told me all about having to say good-bye to Cap’n Ripley and how they really miss him and how sometimes they’re still sad. So now my Very Important Job is to give them lots of love and headbutts and whisker kisses to make them smile. Oh, I know I can’t ever fill the Cap’n's boots but they say my little white socks will do just fine!

Thanks again for letting me tell my story. Mayzie wrote me in an email that the residents of Blogville are the best and I can’t wait to get to know you all!

P.S. Animal blood banks like HemoSolutions are always in need of volunteer woofie donors. If you’re interested in finding out more about it, just Google “animal blood bank” and your city or state to see if there’s one near you!

Wordless Wednesday

Sorta Wordless: Huntin’ fer Vermin

If you can’t see the movie, click here.

PeeS. Don’t forget to vote for me in the Cutest Pet Contest! (Sort by popularity and then “like” my picture.) Thank you!

This n That

So yesterday, I threw myself down on the floor and said I would pawsitively EXPIRE if mom didn’t help me put up a bloggie right away!

Well, she sighed and did a little eye roll BUTT she said okay. And so here we are! YAY!

Now, since we’ve been gone for what seems like about 87 million years, I have a few little things I wanna catch you up on:

1. Precious

Remember back in November when we did Rescue Me Week? One of the doggies I blogged about was named Precious and she was a rat terrierist like Brudder Ranger and she was with Second Chance who rescued me.

Well, guess what? We found out that she got adopted! And if that wasn’t super awesome enough, guess WHO adopted her? MY Angel Donna Fostermommy!! Isn’t that the absolute BEST news ever? Precious sure is gonna have a Most Wonderful life, that’s for sure!

2. Toddlers & Tiaras

Okay, if you follow me on Facebook, you prolly already know this but my mom has gone all wacky pageant mom on me. See, she entered me in a Cutest Pet contest with this company called Kimpton and she really, really, REALLY wants me to finish at least in the top 5. Like really. A lot. She said it’s cuz she wants to show the world that rescue dogs are adorable. But between you and me, I think it’s cuz she wants to live vie-care-ee-usly through me or something.

Anywho, for some silly reason you can only vote if you’re on Facebook. So if you haves a Facebook page, could you do me a favor and just click on this linkie here, sort by “popularity,” and then “like” the picture of me? Right now, I need abouts 25 more votes to be in the top 5 and gets my mom off my back.

Thank you, thank you!

3. Jed

You mighta already heard this from Mango but our furend Jed from Merryland has the sickies and his family is pretty worried abouts him right now. They don’t have a bloggie of their own but they comment on lots of other bloggies and Jed’s sisfur Abby is the Guardian of Ethics for MangoMinster. So if you could go over and leaves a nice comment for Jed at Mango’s bloggie, I know that Jed and his family would really appreciates your support.

Whew! I think that’s it! I’m gonna try some other threats and ultimatums to make sure mom doesn’t neglect my bloggie for so long from now on. I’m thinking about maybe hiding her Easter candy or something. Do any of you have any other ideas?
