**HALLOWEEN EDITION** The BBHQ Midweek News Round-Up ~ Parsley's Got Gordon The Ghost, Smooch is Spying, and Melvyn's Modelling ~ **PLUS** Today's Really Random Photo

The B Team's Midweek News Halloween Banner @BionicBasil®

Epically Spooky Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

What a totally boring week weather-wise:- it's been dreary, overcast and dull with intermittent showers, and some heavier than others. The clocks went back an hour on Sunday morning, and we're not loving it being dark at 5.30pm, it really puts a dampener on pawtrols.

And if mew didn't see me on Monday's Bumper Brain Training post, it's the Mewton-Clawson Annual Zombie Hunt tonight. I was all geared up and ready to go, and then, I saw that my 2025 Zombie Hunter Permit was about to expire, again! 

FLUFF ME!!

I can't believe I forgot, especially after last year! MOL

Luckily, I know a lovely lady cat who works in the local Town Hall. Her name is Daphne, and I saved her three years ago from a weird wolf attack on Hexpaw Hill, so I made a call, and she got my permit approved instantly. EPIC!

Take a look at the local poster advertising the event. It features Dirk the Dangerous; he's from Upper Fluffton, a small hamlet about a mile to the north of Mewton-Clawson. 

Digitally illustrated anthropomorphic cat in futuristic armor, wielding a large weapon and standing in a misty, leafless forest. The scene promotes “The Mewton-Clawson Annual Zombie Hunt” with bold text asking “Are mew ready to tag and bag the undead?” and “How many will mew get?” alongside 29 tally marks and a red paw print. The eerie setting, combat-ready feline, and Halloween-themed challenge blend sci-fi and spooky humour. Halloween cat zombie hunt, futuristic feline illustration, spooky cat event, digital Halloween art, cat-themed combat poster, and creative Halloween pet content from www.bionicbasil.com.

In 2023, Upper Fluffton was overrun with zombies, and thank cod Dirk, who'd only just moved there after a rather colourful career in a special ops force, was on paw to save the residents.

It was only fitting after he'd saved everypawdy that he is the poster cat of choice for this annual event, and fluff me, he looks as mean as hell, doesn't he?

So wish us luck tonight, and we'll let mew know how many we tagged and bagged next week.

BBHQ ANNOUNCEMENT

Look at this...

Stylized book cover for Paws of Destiny: Book 8, featuring silhouetted animal heroes standing united beside a moonlit lake. Above them, a glowing red Time Travelling Telephone Box (TTTB) spirals down from a cosmic vortex, symbolizing a pivotal moment in their interdimensional saga. The scene is framed by dark foliage and a full moon, evoking mystery, magic, and high-stakes adventure. Bold red title text and series branding complete the dramatic composition - read the adventure at www.bionicbasil.com

PAWS OF DESTINY ~ BOOK 8

A Basil and the B Team adventure like no other

A Basil and the B Team adventure like no other

The Nexus Spiral has fractured. The Nullshade has awoke. And destiny never rests.

Basil thought the war was over. Melvyn was safe. The Red Evil defeated. The necromancers are gone, and the Purrminators destroyed. The second M Unit, safely hidden away in the Pocket Universe with a bag of secrets and the essence of two fallen heroes, as they wait for the right moment to return.

As BBHQ braces for a new storm, the B Team must use all their unreasonable resourcefulness to survive, decode a divine prophecy, and face a threat older than time itself. The second Time Travelling Telephone Box spirals back into reality, just as the next deadly battle begins.

Some paws are forged in fire. Others are written in the stars.

OH MY COD, TALK ABOUT A TEASER!!!!!

Yep, book eight is coming soon - just in case mew didn't know! MOL

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

The B Team's Midweek News Halloween Divider @BionicBasil®

First up in the news

 Parsley's Got Gordon The Ghost


Parsley the black cat lounging on a patterned fabric rug, surrounded by Halloween-themed plush toys including a red chili pepper, a brown pumpkin toy, and a white ghost plush with black eyes and mouth. The ghost toy rests on the cat’s front legs, creating a cozy cuddle pose. The scene blends playful Halloween charm with feline relaxation,“black cat Halloween photo,” “cat with ghost plush,” “festive pet photography,” “Halloween cat toys,” “spooky cat cuddle,” and “creative Halloween pet content” from www.bionicbasil.com

Gordon the Ghost keeps appearing in the most unlikely of places around BBHQ, and so do the catnip pumpkins. The P.A. puts the toys back in the open toy basket just before bed every night, and every morning, there's one or more pumpkins strewn in the kitchen, and Gordon is in the most random of places.

Parsley decided that Gordon needs snoopervising, and so he's keeping a very close eye on the little ghost.

Talk about covert ops!

Melvyn wanted to share his spooky catwalk run with mew again.

The kitchen features cream cabinets, a stainless steel oven, and a tiled backsplash. The cat gazes slightly to the side, adding a relaxed and stylish vibe.
