Friday's Friend, Dog Adoption, Cat Adoption, Returns Friday, October 6, 2023

 

Woofs! Meows! Barks! Ever had one of those weeks where you were running crazy busy every single day? Barkings, that's what our humans have had! 

It started out simple enough, then Abby went to stay at Paws Awhile Pet Motel for a two-day vacation. Then, Samson was all set up with food and water for a pawsomely grand overnight vacation of his own. 

Dad and Mom headed to Richmond for a Newsboys concert, one of Dad's favorite Christian rock music bands. He hadn't heard them in concert for pawssibly twenty years or more. Woofs. Since it would be late, they stayed overnight in town and came home the next evening. 

Meows! I just pawssitively purrings loved my two days of quiet time. No dogs barking. No loud, annoying Dad to pester me all day, but I meowingly missed my cuddle time with Momma. 

Then, when they got home, they were off and running to work and other things they needed to catch up on. 

Barks and Meows, as you know, the three of us are not supposed to write on our blog when our human isn't around- adult supervision is required, you know. 

Paws, we pawlan to return next week to writing about our furry friends who need "Forever Home!" with humans to love who will love them too.

Woofs! Happy Friday! Are you prepared for the storm coming in? If you live near I-95 and east, you'll probably get a bit of a tropical storm during the day tomorrow. Paws, for us, we are supposed to just get a lot of rain. Our road will probably wash out again, but, barkingly, that's part of the pawsome life in the country. Dad and I will have fun listening to music, reading, and pawssibly watch some TV staying dry. Dad says I make all of life so much more fun than it would be without me! Do you have a dog?

WOOFS! WOOFS! And a few MEOWS too! Though Abby and me think we are the greatest dogs ever, today is the birthday of one of the world's most pawsome dogs! SNOOPY!! Ever since our human was a young boy, centuries ago- you know, he loved reading the Peanuts cartoon and watching their television specials!

PEANUTS! Barks, you know Snoopy, Woodstock, Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, Sally, Peppermint Patty, and the rest of the gang made their debut on August 2, 1950. Snoopy made his first appearance in the first few comics.

Barks, as you pawbably know, and my human loves so much, Snoopy is one character. He loves suppertime (when gotten on time!), Charlie Brown, Lila, using his imagination for all sorts of adventures, writing, being lazy, taking and cuddling with Linus' blanket, kissing Lucy, root beer and floats, food, milkshakes, navigating, and, of course, Woodstock!

Woofingly, being the adventurous hound Snoopy is, he has alias, other names, for the pawsonas he has in the escapades, Joe Cool, World War I Flying Ace, Easter Beagle, "Masked Marvel," and Fierce Vulture! to name his most pawpular! Barks, he has several other that you can read about at Peanuts Wiki!

Barkings, Snoopy was originally to be named Sniffy but when Charles Schulz learned that was the name of another dog in cartoons, the name was changed to Snoopy. 

Paws, and more paws, pawssibly even a few meows, not from the mean neighbor cat of Snoopy's but our own infamous brother Samson, to Snoopy for making the world a better pawlace. Snoopy has taught millions of mini-humans, and pawbably thousands, if not millions of adults too, that "Happiness is a Warm Puppy!"

Happy Birthday Snoopy!
