Still No Rain, Can Mew Help With The New Book Blurb? & Smooch Finally Gets His Own Post on the Pet Parade Blog Hop No: 257 ~ Hosted by Rascal & Rocco Co-Hosted by Basil & Barking from the Bayou



Pawesome Friday Greetings Furriends

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

Mew may remember last week that we were all geared up fur doing our speshal rain dance ceremony, well we did get some rain but only a fine drizzle fur about 15 minutes on Monday evening.  So aftur much deliberation on where we went wrong we've decided to try again this weekend only really upping the ante - more drums, more chanting, more dancing, burning more herbs, and partaking in way more of the nip peace pipe to honour The Rain Gods, The Ancestors and whoeffur else might need a bit of honouring! 

 We're not looking fur a Biblical flood or the like [our ark isn't quite ready], just a nice gentle pitter patter of rain fur a few hours.

In other news, which I'm finding purrticularly exciting; is that I'm just in the process of having the cover redone fur my original book, Basil the Bionic Cat and the furst proof is absolutely so exciting it makes my fur quiver just thinking about tit

So now I need some new and exciting book blurb fur the back cover and I was wundering if any of our pawesome furriends who have already read it, have any ideas as I need 4 or so really tempting and teasing sentences?

 Mew see my dilemma, so if any of mew have any fav parts of the book do let me know and purrhaps I can devise something from your helpful suggestions. 

Thanks so much!

 >^.^<


And finally mew may remember last Caturday on Parsley's latest Pet Peeves - link below - that Smooch really had his boggle bugged because he suddenly realised that he didn't have a post all of his furry own and we asked mew our pawesome pals and readers what kind of post Smooch should have and mew gave us some really great idea's though Marvelous Marv suggested a travel post and then Gracie & Ava aka MeowMeowMans took it one step further and suggested... 

 SMOOCH AROUND THE WURLD

...and then HRH Princess Erin added that it could include: sports/activities section, maybe a magazine style post? Tanks Torpedo's and the Modern Cat, that sort of thing!

So thank mew all furry much, Smooch is best purrleased that he's finally got his own post and he'll be off Smooching Around The Wurld; though it may take a while to figure out the finer details, but he will be with mew as soon as he has something supurr fun to share.



Pandora will be here tomorrow with another Fashion with Felines post and then we'll be back with our usual selfie selection on Sunday, so hope mew can join us then, in the meantime we wish mew all an epic weekend

 Bestest purrs and big hugs

Friday The 13th, Will It Effur Rain Again & Cat Fest London on the Pet Parade Blog Hop No: 257 ~ Hosted by Rascal & Rocco Co-Hosted by Basil & Barking from the Bayou



Pawesome Friday Greetings Furriends

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

Did mew know it's Friday the 13th today? Now we're vaguely supurrstitious here, though most of it falls by the wayside but there are some things we take heed of such as:

 Not walking under ladders, well that's more fur purrsonal safety rather than supurrstition! MOL 

 If the P.A. knocks the salt pot offur, we make her throw a pinch [sack] of salt offur her shoulder.

 We do not allow the P.A. to do any washing whatsoeffur on New Years Day, as supposedly mew wash away all your future luck fur the coming year.

 And finally as it is Friday the 13th we have banned her from doing anything other than being wrapped up in a bubble-suit and staying confined to one room in the house and no, she's not allowed to do anything - well mew know how she is! MOL MOL 
Mew may remember on Mondays post that we gave mew a little weather report/update [see Gardening with Cats link below] well it's been weeks and weeks since we had any rain, our water butts are nearly empty now so it looks like drastic action is needed.  We, aka all The B Team had a little meeting and decided that we needed to do a rain-dance, so this evening guess what?  Yep we're getting geared up, the drums are coming out and we will be honouring the Rain Gods, The Ancestors and The Great Goddess Bast in style; though funnily enough, we had to do the same thing in 2016 at the end of July, so wish us luck in getting some precipitation to fall MOL

 This is what we looked like back then, with Angels Humphrey, Snowie and Posie... and yes we did get some rain aftur!



In other news, the P.A. and Dad were going to London tomorrow fur the furry furst Cat Fest, but it's too hot, the Wimbledon tennis finals are on and President Trump is in town so an extra gazillion police officers are about to quell any protests that make occur while he's here.

 So many apologies that we won't be able to give mew a full report from Cat Fest, though our supurr buddies at www.katzenworld.com will hopefully be there, so we'll share the link to their Cat Fest experience when it goes live.

 I was quite annoyed they decided not to go, but it'll be so horribly busy and sweaty down in the Big Smoke that really I can't blame them, much nicer to amble around the garden in Mewton-Clawson! MOL



and if mew're still bored get our free colouring books below:

Parsley will be here tomorrow with another Pet Peeves post and then we'll be back with our usual selfie selection on Sunday, so hope mew can join us then, in the meantime we wish mew all an epic weekend

The Pet Parade Blog Hop No: 154 ~ Hosted by Rascal & Rocco Co-Hosted by Basil & Love is Being Owned By A Husky & Barking from the Bayou

Welcome To
The Pet Parade




Happy Friday wunderpurr furriends

Welcome to another fabulous Pet Parade!

We are absolutely delighted today, let me explain further; we've had no rain, well about 3 or 4 drops in the last 3 weeks which evapourated on contact with the ground, so the other evening I said, "Action is required mew guys and I have a cunning plan!"

Amber stared at me wide eyed. "What's that?"

"We are going to do a rain dance!" I declared with a big grin.

"A what dance?" Humphrey asked.

"A rain dance," I repeated. "We are going to get dressed up and purrform an ancient ritual as purracticed by the American Indians."

"Mew can't be serious?" said Snowie.

"Oh I'm furry serious!" I answered and pointed to several bags of feathers on the table in the craft room.

The next few hours were a frenzy of snipping, clipping and gluing.  Admittedly the craft room looked like the Angry Office Gnome had escaped [FYI he hadn't], mess aside this was our epic result, and we even managed to snag an Arizona backdrop fur even more authenticity and to get a better connection to the spiritual energies.

We take our ritualing furry seriously and even stole the P.A.'s drums, sage sticks and whateffur else we needed from her crystal room - but don't tell her! MOL


Smooch and Snowy were on the drums getting that thrumming rhythm going, Parsley had the white sage burning and Amber was chief wafter of said sage smoke.  Humphrey, well let's just say he got his mittens on the nip pipe and that was that until he keeled offur in the nearest bush! MOL  Posie and I did the whooping and dancing.

All in all it was a most enjoyable affair and lo, let me say that again... and lo it rained!

Coincidence most likely, but we like to think we had a little paw in said precipitation! MOL



If mew missed anything this week, here's the latest links fur your purrusal



We'll be back tomorrow with Part II of Catnip Capers on The Caturday ComicStrip and again with our usual Selfie Selection on Sunday, so hope mew can join us then.

Wishing mew all a purrfect weekend

Bestest purrs & hugs
