Pet Peeves With Parsley

It's been quite some time since I was here with a peeve, but that must mean that things have been fine in general, aka peeve-free! MOL

*    *    *

Anyhoo the Peeve Factor has been pinged... let me begin...

I don't know if mew can tell in the picture, but I was so peeved on Caturday morning when I embarked on my usual garden safari; just let me set the scene fur mew... there I was in the neutral-zone aka the raised-beds in the courtyard.

So there I was in the neutral-zone, surveilling the garden when I spied something near the back fence that had just caught my eye, ok it was a mouse and it did look rather juicy and I thought to myself, that looks a rather fine specimen of a mousious meecer, I must go and inspect it more closely.  

Now many of our regulars know we have quite a - Tabbies of Trout Towne please skip to the next paragraph - large burd population which visits our garden on a daily basis, and this beaked-fraternity mainly hangs out in the middle sector; the burd-feeding-zone aka B.F.Z. which I needed to cross to get to the lawn-zone and then onto the back fence where my mid-morning snack plump specimen of a mouse was in desperate and dire need of extremely close examination and serious observation.  

Anyhoo, there I was cloaking-device engaged, fully invisible to the little peckers and I was just getting all revved up and about to cross the B.F.Z. when Smooch yelled. "Don't do it dude, your cloaking-device isn't wurking purroperly!  Mew're rippling!" 

Thank cod he told me otherwise I'd have broken the treaty, then fur and feathers would have been flying in all directions as we're not allowed to cross the B.F.Z. between 8am and 2pm on weekends - Basil signed the treaty way, way back in 2013 when the buzzards were circling, but more on that another time!

That's why I'm supurr peeved today, as I'll be spending the next 3 days in the bunker in Humphrey's old lab trying to figure out what went wrong with it and trying to fix it, and then **Fudge's Magical Menagerie** will come up from level 8 and want to join in and then all fluff will break loose! 

**FYI That's the link to the last episode on our mega-adventure The Clockwurk Labyrinth, at the top of the post mew'll find the links to every episode in order; so if mew're getting a little bored in lock-down mode feel free to while an hour or two away reading our epically exciting story**

Pet Peeves with Parsley #23 ~ What's Your Boggle This Week? Pandora's Boggle Was Seriously Bugged

Many greetings pawesome pals

Parsley here *waves paw* and welcome to 

Pet Peeves With Parsley

OMC it seems like furreffur ago since I was here, and it was too, the 2nd of February to be exact!  

Anyhoo, I'm here today because Pandora's Boggle was Seriously Bugged, want to know more? Of course mew do! MOL

A couple of weeks ago, Pandora was modelling a lovely piece of collar couture which the P.A. had made especially fur her - the P.A. has gone a bit mad lately [since her birthday to be exact] and has started making all kinds of things, but anyhoo I digress - So Pandora was in the middle of her modelling shoot when Amber who doesn't give a flying fluff about anything or anyone at all because she's the eldest and that's her purrogative in life as a crotchety old cougar, and she basically ruined it fur poor Pandora! 

And to add insult to an already spoiled mood, Amber then said at the bottom of her post and I quote directly from said post: 

"Pandora was really peeved at this point and is no doubt writing to Parsley with a seriously serious Pet Peeve! MOL! OOPS! MOL!"



Pandora said and I quote, "I now understand the struggle Summer sometimes has when she's modelling!" #TheStruggleIsReal #ItsToughBeingSoFabulous

So if any of mew gorgeous lady kitties have any tips on how Pandora can avoid future upsets while on modelling assignments from crotchety old cougars, that would be epic, as being a man-cat I know nothing about female modelling dilemmas! MOL

[And I don't need to get between these feisty felines at home! MOL]

Pet Peeves with Parsley #22 ~ What's Your Boggle This Week? The WWW Has Frozen!

Many greetings fabulous furriends

Parsley here *waves paw* and welcome to 

Pet Peeves With Parsley

This week I've got quite an unusual Pet Peeve to share with mew; on Thursday morning while outside under the gazebo in our frosty winter wunderland I heard, "PSSSST!"

I glanced around, saw nothing so continued to take another step. "PSSSST! ARE YOU DEAF?"

"What the fluff!" I exclaimed and looked around again, and still saw nothing.

At this point I thought somepurrdy was yanking my chain, pulling my leg and having a laugh.

"UP HERE YOU BIG PUSSY!" the voice said again.

Looking up I saw a rather large spider staring down at me with 8 jet-black, glittering eyes.

"Are mew talking to me?" I asked.

"Well I don't see anyone else, so I must be!" the spider retorted and tutted.

Now let me say; I'm a furry laid-back kinda of dude, so this kind of trash talk was really pushing my buttons.

"Dude, get some manners happening," I growled and then pointed towards Fudge who was scaling the tree fur a change. "Mew see that ginger ninja offur there, he loves a fresh, juicy spider, shall I call him offur?"

I saw the spider recoil and begin to head upwards at speed. "Er no don't call him over, look I'm sorry but me and the guys have a bit of problem!" he said apologetically.

I waved my paw fur him to continue.

He gestured towards the gazebo post and said, "I've got a pet peeve - I HATE THIS WEATHER - the WWW has frozen, can mew help, as our call centre can't handle the influx of irate customers?"

"Oh dear," I replied, before adding. "Wait there I may have a solution!" 

Five minutes later, I'd got the extension cable rigged up and a kettle boiling, and in two shakes of a lambs tail the steam thawed the WWW completely.

Disaster averted, pet peeve sorted and the WWW was up and running again! MOL

Another B Team success HOOAH!

Pet Peeves with Parsley #21 ~ What's Your Boggle This Week? Amber's Not A Happy Camper.... OOPS Smooch! MOL

Many greetings pawesome pals

Parsley here *waves paw* and welcome to 

 Pet Peeves With Parsley

Happy New Year pals, my year got off to a rather peevish start when I was summoned to the library yesterday as Amber needed to get something off her fur.

It would appear that while Amber was reading this weeks book Smooch interrupted her...

A short while later when Amber went downstairs fur a snack, she saw a large box with her name on and promptly lost the plot fur purrsons failing to notify her of said delivery! OOPS! MOL

Obviously, as we're a furmilly friendly blog I can't actually repeat Amber's exact wurds, but here's a censored translation...

"BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP SMOOCH... BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BOOKS!  BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP DELIVERY!  BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP MEW JUST CAN'T GET THE STAFF THESE DAYS!"

And so it goes, HAPPY NEW YEAR AMBER! MOL

Pet Peeves with Parsley #20 ~ What's Your Boggle This Week? Amber Has A Propurr Meltdown - OH MY COD SOUND THE ALARM!

Many greetings pawesome pals

Parsley here *waves paw* and welcome to 

Pet Peeves With Parsley

Oh my it's really been hotting up the Peeve Office [P.O.] this week, in fact it got so scorchio we nearly had a full-on meltdown as Amber had her boggle seriously bugged when the interwebs stopped wurking right when she was spending credits at Audible! OH MY COD!

EVACUTE MEWTON-CLAWSON STAT~ SOUND THE ALARM DUDES!

Yes, she went absolutely off her chops! 

It would appear that Amber is having a quite bad week, as yesterday she was informed that she was required to leave her library to go rescue Fudge - OOPS!

So anyhoo, there she was mid download of several new books when the interwebs connection unexpectedly crashed.  I'd just emerged from the bunker entrance behind the summer house when I heard the furst scream and then she screeched...

...and then she shrieked rather hysterically [but obviously don't say that I said that! MOL]...

I rushed to the library to find out what had happened. "Amber, are mew ok?" I asked.

"NO I AM NOT OK!" she raged like a total lunatic. "I was just downloading 4 new books and I was also mid purrchase of 3 more when the connection crashed, I am so far from OK it's not funny!"

Oh heck, I thought, this is really bad as getting between Amber and her books is like falling in the ocean with a starving, great white shark when somepurrdy is throwing chump deliberately at mew in the water as mew're trying to swim away - NEVER EFFUR EFFUR MESS WITH AMBER'S BOOKS, AUDIBLE CREDITS OR BUYING OF BOOKS ~ seriously Amber should come with a government health warning!

"Wait there and I'll go reboot the router in the bunker," I said gently and then pointed to her chair [which nopurrdy is allowed to sit in but her] and added. "Sit down, take a sip of your nice cup of nip tea before it goes cold and I'll be back asap!"

I ran from the library across the courtyard and dived into the bunker. I reached the server room and saw that the light on the router was blue and my heart sank... OH HECK, I thought again, that's a gonner fur sure!

NOW WHAT?

I reached fur the fixed bunker phone and buzzed up to the control room. Smooch answered. "Smooch here!"

"Dude we've got a situation!" I said filling him in as quickly as possible.

"Oh man, that's so bad," he replied taking a sharp intake of air. "Let me go ask the P.A. if she has any idea's, wait there I'll buzz mew back."

While I waited fur Smooch, I checked effurything in the room and all was fine apart from the router. 

The phone buzzed and I answered saying, "What's the good news dude?"

 "Dude, this is our lucky day fur sure!" Smooch laughed. "The P.A. had a brand new router in a box in the house, I'll bring it down to level 9."

Ten minutes later the new router was hooked up, installed and running purrfectly.

"That was close," I said. "Now do mew want to go tell Amber that it's fixed or shall I?"

"Nah mew go, I don't need the drama!" he said starting to laugh.

I ambled into the library as nonchalant as mew like and looked at Amber sitting in her chair sipping her tea, looking like the sky was about to fall down and the wurld was about to end.

"Do mew want the good news or the bad news furst?" I asked trying not to grin.

She glared at me and stuffed a whole nip cookie in her mouth with trembling paws. She chewed it rather savagely and gulped it down.

"OK I'll choose fur mew, the bad news is the router is toast!" I said and paused as I watched her stuff another cookie in her mouth and chomp it to death. Then I added. "But the good news is we had a new router in stock and it's all wurking fine now."

Cookie crumbs flew effurywhere as she whooped with joy, leapt from the chair and dove at her computer to see if the download and transactions had gone through.

And so Amber's horrendously bugged boggle was finally soothed as she watched the download bar and 7 new books arrived in the library 30 seconds later.

And the moral of today's Pet Peeve is

ALWAYS HAVE A NEW ROUTER ON STAND-BY! MOL

And yes, the siren was promptly turned off and the evacuation cancelled.

Pet Peeves with Parsley #19 ~ What's Your Boggle This Week? Jumpin' Jeepers Fudge is Well and Truly Peeved

Many greetings pawesome pals

Parsley here *waves paw* and welcome to 

Pet Peeves With Parsley

OH MY COD!  Do mew remember last time I was here, and Smooch got right up in my grill with his severely bugged boggle?  Well things just escalated as Fudge found out that Smooch has his new gig **Smooch Around The Wulrd ~ Coming Soon** and now he wants one too! 

I found this memo pinned to my desk in the bunker on Thursday morning:

Oh heck, we've got a rebellion on our paws right now, I thought.  

So I went to find Basil who was in his private office and showed him the memo.

"Look!" I said passing it across the desk to Basil. "And he used all capitals in bold, and see how many exclamation marks too? That's a serious offur use of punctuation!"

He read it, paused fur a while then said, "Hmmmmmm, these youngsters always want fly before they shoot!"

"I concur," I said sagely.

"But I suppose we could give him the chance to explore his creative identity when we're not saving the wurld," Basil mewsed thoughtfully.

"That's definitely a pawsibility to explore," I replied helping myself to a few nip-fizz jellybeans from the jar on Basil's desk and thinking to myself, it might actually keep him out of trouble too!

We sat in silence fur a spell, popping the nip-fizz jellybeans into our mouths with gusto and much flourish while we pondered the possibilities of our youngest heathen recruit being grown-up enough to take responsibility and have his furry own post.

Basil got up and went to the drinks cabinet and poured us both a rather stiff niptini with a splash of lime and a cherry on the side. He said as he gave me the drink, "Mew know it might keep him out of trouble if we let him have his own post."

I began to smirk and fought hard to keep my laughter at bay. "D'ya think?"

Basil nodded. "Oh yeah, that one has far too much time on his paws, giving him this will save no end of future accidents and/or incidents in the bunker!"

"Great call Basil!" I grinned widely at him.

He took a gulp of his niptini and said. "Yeah dude, and I've got the purrfect gig just fur him and he can start this Caturday!" 

"Really!" I was still grinning. "Do tell me more?"

"Sauce buddy, I'd love to tell mew but'll it'll ruin the surprise!" Basil was really laughing by now, mew know the type of laugh; wildly infectious and with a little bit of wickness.

OH MY COD What Has Fudge Got Himself Into Now?

Find out on Caturday!
