**HAPPY BIRTHDAY** Parsley's Epic 12th Birthday Rave

Grab a pawty hat pawesome pals, we've already got ours! 

Get some cake!

HERE'S PARSLEY'S OFFICIAL BIRTHDAY PAWTRAIT

The Nip Bar is OPEN!

Have a tipple! 

Help yourselves to nibbles!

 

MMMMM Yummy... seafood and eat it! MOL

Get some pudding!

WELCOME TO THE BBHQ NIGHTCLUB

 The Nip Nirvana Lounge

WELCOME TO THE BBHQ RAVE!!!

WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO PAWTY FLUFFERS! 

Amber begged to be in charge of the bar again after being repeatedly banned, plus a future lifetime ban, as she was just getting so out of control. But she begged and pleaded, promising to be epic, and we gave in (huge mistake), and now she's passed out behind the bar. The above picture was taken earlier, before that passing out event, when she was merely lying on the bar in a semi-drunken coma.

  So if mew don't see her again, the kitty-droids will stretcher her to the med-bay for a snooze. She may rejoin us when she can stand again. In the meantime, feel free to help yourself to anything from the bar, and I'm sure Posie or Snowie can assist if mew need any help.

If anypawdy would like extra snacks or nibbles while in The Nip Nirvana Lounge, Humphrey's really nifty A.I. Replicators can cook up whatever mew want. Just ask Humphrey for a look at the menu and put your order in on the screen at the bar, and the kitty droids will be with mew imminently.

Melvyn and Pandora have set up another epic 80s and early 90s playlist of all the best dance tracks from way back in the day when mewsic was extraordinarily epic.

 

It looks like Fudge has had one Mindbender Purrple Purradise nip cocktail too many and, as for me, I'm on the Atomic Surprise Nip-blasters with a slice of lemming. According to Smooch, these things literally blow your fur off; wish me luck, as this is my 4th! MOL

If mew want to partake in any nip, all varieties are available, including some of our supurr zingy homegrown primo-fur-fluffers, and to celebrate my birthday, Humphrey created a new strain, which is an exceptional velvety catnip called the Smoove Oppurrator mix. And believe me, when I tell mew, it's fluffing good nip! 

 Fudge tried some earlier, and his giant floof literally did the opposite of the regular floof explosion, and it's now so sleek and well-behaved! MOL

Smooch has set the hubbly-bubbly pipes up just around the corner from the dance floor. There are oodles of jumbo floor cushions, enough for everypawdy to get sprawled out on. 

Litter cubicles are in the entrance foyer, girls use the door on the left and boys the door on the right, and whatever mew don't go wandering around the bunker as we don't want anypawdy getting lost or worse, accidentally falling through a rogue interdimensional time portal that keeps popping up on Level 14.

And on that note, I'm headed to the bar. Who wants an Atomic Surprise Nip-blasters?

WOOO HOOOOOO DUDES & DUDETTES RAVE ON!

We do hope mew all have an EPIC time at the rave, and if mew need to chill, we have allocated the Crystal Room as the zen-zone which is now located next to the nightclub; just head back out into the corridor, take a left and it's the next door along, so mew can have a snooze, take five or just crash completely.

Thanks for coming, mew know how much we love to pawty with all our supurr besties!

Welcome To Friday Fluffers ~ Showcasing The Newest Photo Escapades From BBHQ in **DRAW ME LIKE ONE OF YOUR FRENCH GIRLS** **WHO POSED THE BEST?** Starring Fudge, Amber and Pandora - And no, Fudge is NOT a Girl, or Even French For That Matter!

Welcome to

Happy Friday Pawesome Pals

Welcome to our Friday Fluffers post where we showcase a selection of photo bloopers or photo fails from BBHQ, the photos that we thought would never see the light of day, buried deep, deep, deep in the archives on Level 12 of our secret bunker, with no chance of ever being seen on the interwebs for the world to see... UNTIL NOW!

Are mew ready for some fun outtakes from The B Team? Of course, mew are!

Today we're doing something a little different, read on to find out what Fudge came up with.

And as it's the last Friday of the month, today is also... 

www.mochasmysteriesmeows.com

Luckily, Pandora's effort fits the criteria! MOL

Some of mew may know that Fudge is really interested in all things arty, and the other day, he remembered that he used to share arty posts: 

Getting All Arty-Farty with The Artful Fudger

Click here to see King Basil's epic pawtrait. Anyhoo, he got to thinking after watching Titanic at the weekend; purrhaps a themed Friday Fluffers might be fun, so he asked Amber and Pandora if they were up for the challenge, which of course they were, but only if Fudge posed first! MOL

And first on the podium is Fudge in...

Draw Me Like One Of Your French Girls

Yep, he really understands the brief, posing to purrfection! MOL

Definitely 10 out of 10.

Seriously, he really just gets it.

This is a 15 out of 10 for sure! MOL

Next up is Amber in...

Draw Me Like One Of Your French Girls

Good, but not as good as Fudge. We think this merits 9 out of 10.

A little too coquettish, purrhaps?!  

And finally, Pandora in...

 Draw Me Like One Of Your French Girls

Pandora is just not feeling it on any level. 

Fudge showed her the poses, and she tried her best.

She's always been a little camera shy, so we'll give her 7 out of 10 for effort, however she does speak with a French accent so we've bumped her up to an 8.5 out of 10! MOL

WHO'S YOUR FAVOURITE?

WHO POSED THE BEST?

LEAVE YOUR RATINGS OUT OF 10 IN THE COMMENTS!

We're also joining Friday fill-ins with the fabulous 15 & Meowing and Four-Legged Furballs this week.

1. The summer is just about over and I have yet to ___________________________.

2. The highlight of my summer was _________________________.

3. _________ is a fictional character I really relate to.

4. My interest in _________ began when _________.

The P.A.'s answers are...

1. The summer is just about over and I have yet to paint the fence black, and the summer house needs a coat of white. Here's hoping that the weather is conducive and that I will get inspired to tackle both jobs. Plus I need to order new spring bulbs as the wet weather earlier in the year rotted everything. And I was very naughty the other day and ordered a lot of new perennials online - OH DEAR! So that's another job on top of the 200 hundred or so already waiting in the queue!

2. The highlight of my summer was Cat Dad building the new deck over the Bank Holiday weekend; it's the little things, you know! LOL

3. _________ is a fictional character I really relate to. LOL, I've read thousands of books and never encountered a character I can relate to, but there's always the next book. 

4. My interest in sewing began when I was about four, and I would watch my grandmother make things on her manual Singer sewing machine. During my first foray on the Singer machine when no one was about, I ran over my finger with the needle, but a valuable lesson was learned: Keep your fingers out of the way of the needle! LOL

The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ **NEW DECK ALERT** Parsley's Conjuring Up Fluff Knows What, Fudge's Hissed Off, and Melvyn's Modelling This Weeks Top Pick Bandana **PLUS** WHAT DOES MELVYN DO AFTER HE'S FINISHED MODELLING?

Furbulous Greetings, Supurr Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Jumping juniper berries, it's been a wild week of weather at BBHQ. Last week, it was all blustery gusts, with the trees shedding no end of leaves—yes, another job for the P.A. to deal with shortly. We had a deluge of rain on Friday and Caturday, with more angry and horrendously hostile wind intent on blowing everything everywhere and making as much mess as possible in the garden. 

And to say it was the last Bank Holiday weekend of the year, it was pretty lacklustre. Oh but the good news is that Cat Dad did get phase one of the new deck in place, do mew want to see? Of course mew do! MOL

This was the before shot when Cat Dad removed the old raised bed, dug out all the old soil, and prepared it for the new sleepers.

And a short while later, this is what it looked like.

This is a vast, immense, and epic improvement on the before shot. The P.A. thinks she's going to paint the fence black. Well, she has the black paint, so there's no thinking about it; she's just got to get the brush in her mitten and get cracked on.

When a little snipping and pruning has taken place, the deck will extend further to the left, but we are delighted with Phase One.

And just before we jump into this week's headlines, just look what was hopping around on the front lawn at Nanny's and Grampaws the other day.

Yep, this cute little almost white bunny. How adorable!

Nanny rang the neighbours and asked if they were missing said bunny, and the neighbour asked if Nanny had been drinking!!! MOL MOL

Luckily, the P.A. had taken a picture of the bunny, so Nanny sent it to the neighbours, who came back with, "Oh yes, we did have a white rabbit, but it escaped, and now its offspring is everywhere!"

Hence the off-white bunny.

Anyhoo, let's look at this week's top headlines.

First up in the news this week

Parsley's Conjuring Up Fluff Knows What

Look at that laser focus he's got going off... we don't want to know.

Magic is a furry purrsonal thing, and whatever Parsley is conjuring is Parsley's business.

Unless it is a direct threat to The B Team, then it's everypawdy's business! MOL

Next up in the news

 Fudge's Hissed Off

Fudge was quite hissed off because Smooch and Pandora were hanging out under the gazebo, and he wasn't.

Look at the indignation emanating from every whisker. Jeez, that's intense! MOL 

However, no fluffs were given by either Smooch or Pandora.

Earlier, Fudge was waiting for his orange collar to be put on.

Mew see how patient he is? 

And now mew know why he was hissed off because he didn't get to go outside as Cat Dad was prepping for the new deck, and a supurr fluffy orange blur around the garden, while things are being constructed, is not safe.

 

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

This week, Melvyn is modelling the last bandana for August.

He actually had the entire catwalk to himself this week. What a miracle! MOL 

Fudge was snoozing upstairs on his favourite jumbo cat cushion. Parsley was outside stalking some unsuspecting leaf, blowing around in the courtyard under Smooch's watchful gaze. Pandora was in the catservatory up in the gods while Amber was snoring, sorry, snoozing rather loudly on the sofa.

Check out Melvyn strutting his stuff on your preferred social media channel:

What Does Melvyn Do After Modelling?

BBHQ's furry own supurr model is usually worn out after his weekly modelling gig, which is incredibly labour intensive for about four and a half minutes. 

Yes, it really takes that long to walk up and down the catwalk three or four times and then take a couple of still shots.  

 After this monumentally intense and full-on four and a half minutes, he usually retires to one of three places. 

The first is the bed.

And the second top spot is in his glamping tent.

And his third favourite spot is in the Love Shroom.

He then sleeps the entire day away in total bliss of another epically epic modelling session! MOL

And if mew missed how we made this supurr cute cat retreat from a couple of cardboard boxes and a bit of fabric, click here to see the full post.

Which one should he model next?

Here's the brand new bandana collection for September, hot off the ironing board in the BBHQ craft room.

The options from the top left in a clockwise direction:

1. Owl Be Seeing Mew! 

2.  Catitude Graffiti

3. Panda-monium

4. Ballooning with Furiends

Tell us your top pick for next week in the comments!

That's us done for today. We'll be back again on Friday, so join us then, as mew know how much we love your company.
