Pawesome Greetings Furbulous Furiends

Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

Well, what a week! We'll just give mew the weather update, as we missed that last week; it has been so still for the last three weeks, like no wind at all, not even a whisper of a breeze and very overcast, although we did get a brief sunspot on Sunday (See Parsley further down the post), which was marvellous. We can't ever remember a time, at this time of year when it has been this still for this long at BBHQ; very strange indeed.

Then on Caturday night around 10PM, a radiator burst upstairs and leaked through the kitchen ceiling - great fun, NOT! So we've had no heating since then as the system had to be drained as there was no way to stop the water. Cat Dad has replaced the failed radiator, and he's just replaced the adjacent one, as it was the same age, to mitigate another disaster from that one in the future.

Plus, there are two more that need changing, which is happening as we type this, so hopefully, by tonight - Chewsday evening - the system can be refilled, and with a bit of luck, we'll be all warm and toasty again, as Smooch said, and I quote, "Dude, it's fluffing warmer outside!" See our first news story! 

So the paint will have to come out and the ceiling redone in the kitchen; seriously, it never rains. It BURSTS!!! MOL

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

First up in the news

Smooch Says It's Warmer Outside

As I just said, Smooch said, "Dude, it's fluffing warmer outside!" 

So our little tripawed dude, has been in his favourite basket under the gazebo feeling rather hissed off!

Even though there is a fire in the woodburner - and we burn approved smokeless coal before anypawdy wants to mention climate change - he's adamant that he's better off outside!

On Remembrance Sunday, Parlsey was lucky enough to enjoy this sunspot under the gazebo for a while until it clouded over again.

Finally this week

Melvyn's Modelling The Top Bandana Pick

Last week, mew voted for the Woodland Furiends bandana and suggested that Melvyn could model it in memory of Peanut and Fred, which he is honoured to do.

Melvyn did a really great job, and if mew want to see the P.A. making this special bandana, we posted a video on TikTok - it's only five minutes long. And don't worry if mew don't have TikTok; mew can always watch as a guest with no sign-in. As we haven't had time to post to Instagram or YouTube yet, but if mew want to see it on those channels, let us know, and we'll try to make that happen for next week.

Check out Melvyn's catwalk videos on your preferred social media channel:




Which one is your favourite this week?

Which one should he model next?


Here's the brand new bandana fabric collection for November.

 There are four Wednesdays this month, but there were five fabric quarters, and they are all too cute not to share, and they are lovely brushed cotton, so Melvyn is loving that cozy vibe! MOL  

The P.A. has decided to leave the choices like this, so just pick your favourite fabric and watch it appear like magic on Melvyn next week! MOL
