 Epic Greetings Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

What have we got to tell mew this week? The weather has been a little better, and by all indications, it's going to be a lovely weekend over Easter so that means we could get some extra jobs done in the garden. In fact, the P.A. has bought a tin of red paint as our Time Travelling Telephone Box needs a bit of tickle, so maybe we might start the preparations on that. Shall we make a video of it being spruced up?


First up in the news this week

Fudge is getting ready for Easter and looking for a suitable bandana.

He thought we had one, but after much searching, he couldn't find it.

Do mew think this one works? 

Or should he get the P.A. to make a new one, with some fabric she has in the craft room?

Next up in the news

If mew saw Amber's post last Friday, where she got her murder mittens on a pom pom - see the link at the bottom of the post. She murderised it most vehemently.

Melvyn decided not to take any chances with his favourite pom poms in the BBHQ office and promptly moved them on top of the beam, well out of reach from Amber's murder mittens.

He goes and checks on them several times a day to make sure that Fudge hasn't knocked them on the floor, but so far, so good.

And for cod's sake, don't let on to Amber there are more pom poms which have been squirrelled away out of reach, as mew know what will happen!


Finally this week

Mew may remember on last week's News Round-Up that Smooch was in the plant pot keeping the catnip shoots warm.

Well, it would appear that he and Parsley are sharing the catnip warming duties, and are sharing the shifts between them. As mew can see Smooch is firmly ensconced again, and Parsley is heading into the catservatory for snacks after his long shift in the sunshine! MOL 



This week's hot gossip is, that we just set some new catnip seeds this week.

WOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!

Pawesome Wednesday Greetings Furriends

Welcome to the Pet Parade and our weekly news round up!

What a week; we were making a few more snuggle mats and the sewing making started to smoke, so we had to take evasive action, get the fire extinguisher and put it out and the P.A. too who was using it at the time.  No she wasn't smoking it was just unfortunate fur her! MOL MOL [she wasn't impressed, though we think she should be grateful fur our swift thinking and action].

So anyhoo the machine is broken, we have to take it to see if it can be repaired this week, but the good news is, we have another one so the snuggle mat production line didn't get interrupted - WOOO HOOOO!



Smooch's Tough Design Choices

As chief designer this week at BBHQ, Smooch has had some really tough design choices to make, such as;  what colour pom pom trim to use on the snuggle mats, what size pom pom trim to use on the snuggle mats and what fabric to make the snuggle mats from - woah too much pressure fur sure!

Smooch's Tough Design Choices on The Pet Parade @BionicBasil®

At this point Smooch was a rock in a hard place and didn't know if he wanted to use the mustard yellow pom pom trim or the purple, like we used fur HRH Erin's mat. Choices, choices.... aftur an awful lot of deliberation he chose the purple.

**Meanwhile in another part of BBHQ**

The Cat from Quality Control - Says YES!

Melvyn is supurr focused when he's wearing his Quality Control Officers hat; just look at that intense concentration, nothing will distract him from his job - well a pile of primo catnip would but apart from that he's incredibly dedicated to the task at paw.

Melvyn Quality Testing on The Pet Parade @BionicBasil® QCO BBHQ

He likes to test things such as:-  mat comfort and size, overall springiness, fabric quality, fabric softness/smoothness/type, pom poms etc... its a furry involved job but it is rather rewarding especially when mew get pawesome feedback from extremely catisfied customers.

"Smooch, this one is a pass!" Melvyn shouted before he added it to the growing pile... see below.
