Happy Barkday to Frankie!
Hey Everyone!
Wow, today is a special day over at FnE's house because it's Frankie's barkday! Be sure to visit.
Here is a look at last weekend when they were all here for the holiday. We had a great party to celebrate Frankie's day while we were together!
It's a Frankie Furter Fun Festival!!
As you can see, he got right into the action...on the table even! BOL
Those little snacker biscuits have orange cookies and applesauce all baked into them. YUM!
And Mamaw always takes excellent care of me too! She gave me goodies for my recent gotcha day.
We love these little teddy bears. Crinklie in the head and squeakerie in the middle.
Frankie made for one super cool dude! We had a great party.
FRANKIE, HAPPY HAPPY BARKDAY TODAY!
I hope you have an excellent day filled with extra treats and toys and scritches!

FFHT Day
Hey Everyone!
Wow, this is one of my favorite events of the whole month! It's time to join Murphy and Stanley for FFHT.
There once was a pooch named Sarge,
who prefered to be always in charge.
When he went to the dogtor,
things seemed to go a-kilter
and his trouble would then loom so large.
At the vet office a craze takes his brain,
and a muzzle toward his face they did aim.
"The harder I tried to get it off me,
the quicker they plotted to drug me"
and soon a heavy sleep suddenly came.
He awoke to a head that was foggy,
and he wondered what was done to this doggy.
His butt and his snooter were sore,
from those shots and the muzzle he wore
so he decided to spend the day groggy.
Little did our Sarge ever know,
that all the peeps were aghast at this show.
They were stunned by his strength,
and his moves to be freed at any length
THANK DAWG THIS IS ONLY AN ANNUAL WOE!
The End
Thanks, Doods for another fabulous inclusion and fun FFHT day!
Please don't forget that Recruit A Pal ends on May 31st. SOOOOOOOO.....
June 1st is INTRODUCTION DAY and there will be posts from our New/Return pals to tell us all about themselves.
June 2nd is the community wide WELCOME DANCE to celebrate. I will have 6 posts running throughout the day and there will be posts all around Blogville as our furiends host various parts of the big event.
I hope to see everyone both days.

Working Wednesday....Golfer Putts on Trial
Hey Everyone!
Wow, this is a really important Working Wednesday! Today is the big trial in my case against the local golf course GOLFER PUTTS. They've been driving me crazy and I threw the book at them. BOL Check back to my 5-13-15 post for all of the tickets I wrote...like this one::
I hit them with 4 charges: Disorderly Conduct for all that nasty language. Disturbing the Peace with screeching tires and loud carts. Trespassing for driving all over and walking everywhere in our park. Littering for leaving wayward golf balls all over the place!
Then check out Top Cop Bites from 5-20-15 when he did a super job serving the tickets to the Golfer Putts manager.
Well, today you need to visit HizHonor Frankie's Court of Common Fleas because the trial is going on now.
Here are a few pix of the action.
I think Ernie the Attorney is doing a great job and I'll be waiting for tomorrow to hear Judge Frankie's verdict. I hope he socks it to those nutty golfers! BOL

Final R.A.P. Up
Hey Everyone!
Wow, I'm so excited that Recruit A Pal is already a success! We are celebrating our new/return furiends Finn, Charley, Miss Oswin, Brom and Cookie. Don't forget you have until 5-31-15 to recruit someone. This will be my last reminder and informational post...we are in the home stretch!
Recruit A Pal will run the entire month of May through midnight 5-31-15.
Bring a new pal to Blogville or bring back one who hasn’t posted for 1 year.
New/Return pals must post on 6-1-15 to introduce themselves.
New/Return pals must follow at least: their Recruiter, Sarge, & BCCalendar.
Recruiters must notify me (lfurman1987ATyahooDOTcom) by 6-1-15.
Email must include the names and blog addresses of the Recruiter and Pal.
All species are welcome.
Here is a summary of my bestest SUGGESTIONS:
* We are like pen pals through our pets. We are from all over the world. Some of what we do is very real, some of it is virtual and just for fun. We entertain, we inform and we support.
* Spend only as much time as you can. Blogging doesn't have to be time-consuming. Some of us only post 1x each week. Quick easy post ideas include Wordless Wednesdays, Mischief Mondays, Snicker or Silent Saturdays. And Ranger's wacky holidays, See Beautiful, FFHT, Shop Around The World are all ideas to help someone post. Use it as a hobby with friends, use it as a hobby with your kids. Pre-schedule your posts for the whole month all at one time to help it go faster.
* Create a basic, generic blog for someone. That saves them the frustration of learning how to set up a new blog. It will be ready for them to post instantly with no technical worries. They can type in the text and add a pix and will be up-and-running fast and easy.
* Show them some examples of life in Blogville. Here are a few ideas:
Fun/Silly: Madi's Box Bash, here 1-10-15; Guy's Day, Frankie 3-23-15; Heart 2 Heart Dance, Murphy & Stanley 2-14-15.
Keeping it Real: Safety Week, here 8-11 through 8-16-14; Holiday Card Exchange 12-25-14; Rescue Transports, Khyra 3-30-15; Auction for Moore Okla, Sidebite 5-31-13; For Angel Greta, Idaho Pugs 9-9-14 & 9-11-14; Agility/frisbee, Sagira.
Inspirational: mydogsam01.blogspotDOTCom; gospelofgoose.blogspotDOTCom; bertdidit.blogspotDOTCom. Lots of us do fostering, support rescue groups, do obedience and agility, adopt challenged pets.
* All species are welcome. They don't have to own and dog or cat. We have furiends who are peeps without pets. Everyone is loved equally in Blogville.
Don't forget 6-1-15 all new/return pals must post all about themselves and their blog.
Don't forget the big community-wide Welcome Dance is on 6-2-15.
My thanks to our successful recruiters: Lassie, Benji, YAM Aunty, FnE.
My thanks to all of the Dance helpers: Security by Sidebite; Music by DJ Rockin' Wills; Music by Bad Dawg Agency; Foodables by Chef Sasha; Blog Hop by Oz; Photo Booth by Dory; Matchmaker services by Yente Ruby.
My thanks to all of the Prize Sponsors too! FnE; Madi; Doods; Sasha; Oz; Oreo; Abby.

Snicker Saturday....Mom's CARcass
Hey everyone!
Wow, I'm so excited because I have company this weekend! YUP, it's:
FRANKIE AND ERNIE AND MAMAW AND PAPAW PANTSLEGS!
Wooohoooooo!
So, I won't be around much because we'll be super busy having lots of fun. BOL
BUT, it wouldn't be the weekend without a chuckle from me to you.
Okay, what happens if you take THIS:
PLUS THIS:
?????????
Answer: You get THIS:
You got it! My Mom had a little mousie living in her beloved RU. Now, being a kind hearted, if somewhat nutty peep, she decided that this was cute. Dad, not so much. She made Dad leave it alone because it wasn't huring anything except a few napkins and tissues from her glove compartment and she said mice gotta live too. ahem.
WELL, the poor wayward mousie musta gotten all sorts of confused and ended up in a part of the car where it couldn't get out. You guessed it....the mousie died. Right there inside the deepest inner guts of Mom's beloved RU. Now, it's not so cute anymore.
So, the end of the math equation is this. If you take one cute mousie, add it to one beloved RU, add in one nest of napkins, divide by the square root of one rodent rainbow bridge crossing
THE TOTAL IS THIS:
Oh, that's toooo funny! Mom's car has a yucky deceased mousie funk about it and stinks like mad. She's stuck driving with her head out the window just like us. BOL
Hope this story gave you as big a laugh as it did me and Dad. We've been ROFL about this for a few weeks now.
PeeS: Dad did try to find the little mousie CARcass, but it's somewhere deep inside the RU and can't be found. We figure it will take about 2 months for the stink to disappear. Poor mousie!
Have a super weekend, and for my American furiends have a wonderful Memorial Day Holiday!
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, Laughing Hound
PeeS again: I can laugh because I always travel in Dad's car! BWAR HAR HAR

Working Wednesday...Golfer Putts Served
Hey Everyone!
Wow, I'm so glad that last Working Wednesday I finally wrote a whole bunch of tickets for that dang nuisance GOLFER PUTTS! They've been driving me crazy and last week I gave four citations to Top Cop Bites to serve to the local golf course. Today's Working Wednesday will spell trouble for them fur sure!
So, run on over to Sidebite's blog to see the rest of the pix of him at his Chief of Police finest as he serves the tickets to the golf course manager! Those peeps at Golfer Putts will remember this Working Wednesday for a long, long time. BOL
Then stay tuned...Ernie the Attorney will be working on the case to haul Golfer Putts to the Court of Common Fleas. Then we'll see what His MopHeadedNess has to say.

Suggestions for R.A.P.
Hey Everyone!
Wow, I've been boggling my doggy brain to come up with all sorts of information, suggestions, hints and tips to help us with Recruit A Pal (R.A.P.)!
Here is a summary of my bestest SUGGESTIONS:
* We are like pen pals through our pets. We are from all over the world. Some of what we do is very real, some of it is virtual and just for fun. We entertain with silliness, we inform with owner tips and product reviews, we inspire, we support each other.
* Spend only as much time as you can. Blogging doesn't have to be time-consuming. Some of us only post 1x each week. Quick easy post ideas include Wordless Wednesdays, Mischief Mondays, Snicker or Silent Saturdays.

They can type in the text and add a pix and will be up-and-running fast and easy. They can always customize it later when they are more comfortable.
* There are lots of prizes! There is a Welcome dance on 6-2-15.
* Show them some examples of life in Blogville. Here are a few ideas:
Fun/Silly: Madi's Box Bash, here 1-10-15; Guy's Day, Frankie 3-23-15; Heart 2 Heart Dance, Murphy & Stanley 2-14-15.

A New Blog Awaits a Silent Follower
Hey Everyone!
Wow, the month is half over already and I'm really having fun with Recruit A Pal! I'm trying to find a new/returning furiend to join us and I know lots of you are working at it too. Thanks so much for trying to get more furiends to come to Blogville.
Well, one of my big suggestions to help you recruit is the idea of creating the basic blog setup for someone new. Sometimes these tech things can be very scary and if your furiend has never blogged before, they might not know how to start. SO, WHY NOT START THE BASIC BLOG FOR THEM! THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT FRANKIE DID FOR ME. YUP, HE GAVE ME A READY-TO-GO BLOG. ALL I HAD TO DO WAS START POSTING. SUPER EASY!
So, I created a basic, rather generic blog for someone who wants to start posting.
HERE'S A SHOUT OUT TO MY SILENT FOLLOWERS! PLEASE JOIN US! Here is what the new blog looks like:
It's all set up and ready to go. It just needs YOU, my non-blogging furiend to agree to join us. I'll give you the address, password and basic info to get you going. All you have to do is post. Our furiend Oz has offered a blog makeover for a winning new furiend, so that could be your ticket to customizing this to your own style and taste. WHAT COULD BE EASIER?!? WHADDA YOU SAY?!?
Don't forget that all species are welcome in Blogville! We love our dog, cat, rabbit, bird, pig, donkey, horse, fish, etc etc furiends. If you're a peep without a pet, you're welcome to join us! We have peep furiends too!

Barking for Chewy
Hey Everyone!
Wow, I got one of those beloved CHEWY.COM deliveries the other day! Aren't those the bestest packages ever?!?
Oh, it's for ME ME ME!
OMD Miss Sydney sent me a double delish delightful delivery! BOL
Okay furiends, I got to sample Natural Balance Lamb Lung Bites and also Blue Buffalo Blue Chicken Bites.
Now, I gotta bark the truth. I am CRAZY in love with those gourmet lamb lungs. They are incredibly tasty. For some reason, I'm not interested in those Blue Bites. I can't really explain why because they are made with all sorts of tasty and great ingredients, but they just don't thrill me.
So, I will give four paws straight, way up for the Lamb Lung and I'll let you try the Blue Bites for yourself sometime. I'm sure they're fine...just not my cup of tea. BOL
Thanks so much, Miss Sydney and Chewy for being such amazing furiends. Chewy is the bestest company on the planet!!

Working Wednesday... Golfer Putts
Hey Everyone!
Wow, I have totally had it up to my collar with the local golf course! Grrrrrr they've pushed my buttons one too many time. I am finally gonna throw the (ticket) book at them. They'll be sorry it's Working Wednesday fur sure. BOL
Okay, look out "GOLFER PUTTS", you're about to see some citations.
OMD our poor ears! The constant engines on those crazy golf carts are enough to drive us batty. BOL Those golfers can't drive at all. The squealing and spinning out and burning rubber and screeching brakes. HOLY MOLY! What a racket.
Look out! They're everywhere around here. Can't stay on their course...no they gotta drive all over our Blogville. They walk all over our city park like they own our place. *SHESH* Just because they can't keep their putts on the greens doesn't mean they can trespass everywhere.
Wait until you see this! I find their wayward golf balls EVERYWHERE. In the grass, around the flowers, in the road, etc etc etc. No control at all. BOL
Now this is the worst! Everytime a golfer slices or dices or whatever it is they do, they belt out a string of profanity that would make my Dad (a sailor) blush. BOL Oh, it happens all the time.
*WHACK* they hit the ball!
*CRACK" their ball hits a poor, defenseless tree!
**&^%$#!$^*)_+(*^ come all the HBO words!
So there! That's my duty for today. I'm going to hand these citations off to Top Cop Bites and have him prepare to serve these tickets to Golfer Putts as soon as he can. Now THAT'S a Working Wednesday. BWAR HAR HAR ahem.
HEY BE SURE TO VISIT OUR NEW and RETURNING FURIENDS!
WE HAVE TWO SUCCESSFUL RECRUIT A PAL FOLKS.
