Wordless Wheelie Wednesday - Bailey & Judy 'Remember'!

True Colours Thursday - CANARY YELLOW!

I keep telling Mother we need a Winnie, the Pooh Bear in the Hug!
The best we have to date, is his YELLOW face on her socks...Hugs,

A Post Wedding Day Post!

Now, I usually allow the 'Wheelies' to have a say today, it being Wednesday, however, Miss Judy, small in stature, but big in romantic heart, has kindly allowed me over rule such things.

Mother & I have finally returned home from 'Aunt', now Misses Peach >(^;^)<'s Vintage Wedding.

It was a truly beautiful affair.

Mother wept during the ceremony when Pachelbel's Canon in D was played.

That music was so appropriate, as my own wedding gift, was 'Woodstock' Wedding Wind Chimes of that particular ring...

Here are a couple of delightful 'Official' wedding images for you...

Their cake, even impressed Mother...

Also, I do have my own personal photographs!

Here I am with the Bride & Groom...Then alone, with my dear Aunt Misses Peach...

Yes, it was a day to remember / treasure!

And partly, mostly, because I finally meet, bear to bear face, my lovely Miss Rosie.

I am still floating on cloud nine!

She liked me - I think rather a lot too!

And, I do so reciprocate those feelings.

I understand, Internet Romance, can be difficult, but not in this case.

Since home, I can bearly lift my eyes from her portrait... Hugs from a besotted,

True Colours Thursday - BLACK!

Today is all about Halloween.!

Even, Merry dressed up in BLACK for 'Trick Treating'...

And, what do you think of my BLACK Wizard's hat...

Mother even found me cakes with appropriate icing...Hugs,

And, Happy Halloween for Saturday as I will be away attending a wedding!

Wordless Wheelie Wednesday - Bailey's 'Trick Treating' Ready!

Tennyson's Time!

It being regrettably 'Spring Forward, Fall back' time once more - in other words, last night @ 2AM British Summer Time officially ended and we gained a hour - much needed by me, I will add!
But, returning to Greenwich Meantime, does mean the evenings grow darker earlier, and Mother & I both hate that.
However, here in this Hug, we follow Grandmother's way of not actually changing the clocks over till during today, Sunday!!!
Now, finding that Hug member Tennyson had his own personalised time piece...

I put him in charge of altering all our household clocks and watches, as thought it would help Mother
And, save me the task!
He had quite a few to do this morning...And, the chiming long wall clock, was a huge challenge...First, there was the pendulum to sort...Then, the clock hands to re-position...But, I have to admit Tennyson has done a fine job.
Though, I am unsure, if he did get around to Mother's Radio Alarm Clock!
Only waking up time tomorrow morning will tell that!!!
Hugs,

A Party to Remember!

Now, please bear with me today, as I am a little, in fact, a LOT delicate.
So much so, I just cannot believe how noisy these computor keys are!!!
I am trying my best to paw in quietly, as loud sounds do jar my poor head!
And, as for my Juke Box's jingle - I will not go there!!!
You see, I have recently arrived home from a serious Bacholar Party!!!
Here is the invite, and I did survive but only just...
Yes, I know it say's 'ManCats only'!
However, as a close relative of the 'Bride-To-Be', none other than my own dear 'Aunt' Miss Peach >(^;^)< ; an exception was made for myself and young Bob T Bear, Esq!

Miss Peach's intended Mickey, is indeed a fine looking fellow...And, his Best Mancat & Groomscats organised quite a night!
You can read about it & see all the goings on HERE!
All I will add, is there was much caterwauling... The above black cat was NOT Mickey, just in case Miss Peach is concerned!
But, the drinks did flow rather a lot.
After my own experience with the demon Lemon, as in Gin & Tonic's a while back, I restricted myself to premium Scotch instead!
I think the Rocky Creak Scotties will approve of my choice...But, suspect I imbibed a little too much, so must go lie down again.
Mother maybe laughing @ me, but she did keep remarkably quiet about what happened @ Miss Peach's Bridal Tea & Spa Party!!!
I do, suspect this tea was not as innocent as it looks...
Anyway, Mother and I must now ready ourselves, for the Wedding Nuptials a week today; I, of course will be escorting the delightful & genteel Miss Rosie Bear, my own personal love interest.
Mother will have to go alone or accompany Bob!
Hugs,

True Colours Thursday - GREEN!

With still no GREEN Hug member, I was once again struggling.
Polly Pola, pointed out her favourite story book had a GREEN cover...But, I thought I needed something more substantial.
So, when Mother was not hogging the laptop, I turned to Google Images.
And after pawing in 'GREEN bear', this was what I found...Shock, horrow!!!
I just had to find out the full story, which meant another Google search!
Discovered this press release from 2007...
"Three normally white polar bears at Higashiyama Zoo & Botanical Gardens in central Japan changed their colour in July after swimming in a pond with an overgrowth of algae.
The sight of GREEN polar bears prompted many questions from visitors concerned about the animals welfare!
In a statement made by Zoo official Masami Kurobe, he said 'High Summer temperatures & less-frequent water changes because of the zoo's conservation efforts caused an algae growth in the bear pond & safety moat. And, algae that enters hollow spaces in the bears' fur, is hard to rinse off. The bears are expected to return to their natural colour when the growth subsides in November.'"

Mmm, very interesting!
Do hope, he was telling the truth as Polly Pola was most distraught.
Hugs,

Wheelie Wednesday - Judy re tells her Story!

Hi, it's me Judy!
Don't imagine you expected to see me again this week.

But, Wheelie brother Bailey, bless him, let me, if a little begrudgingly, have another word.

You see, Mummy has missed two important dates in my small feltie life, my 1st Adoption Barkday & my 1st Gotcha Day!!!

Can you believe it?
Here I am, like royalty, Queen Elizabeth II, with two Birthdays, an actual one & an official one, and I didn't get to celebrate either!

For those of you wondering, how come I have two special days, I had a near disastrous start.
Mummy, who had been wanting a 'Wheelie' for ages, before she found Bailey, had asked Aunty Lana over @ Airedale Heaven to felt me.

I was to be named Judy in memory of Mummy's childhood WFT doggy sister and to be modeled in the image of her now best foxy friend, the one & only Jackson.

Bailey still says he can't believe, he agreed to a GIRLY clone, but he did or rather his JI did!

Per my Adoption Certificate, my adoption was formally completed on the 4th August 2008

I was then carefully bedded down & duly shipped across the Big Pond, only to be taken prisoner by men in dark jackets - because I went missing, Mummy thought I'd got lost @ sea!

But, eventually, the Customs Inspectors allowed me into Dreamingspires with instructions that Mr Postman was NOT to deliver me to Mummy unless she paid a huge ransom!

Mummy was outraged & appealed - in hindsight, she whole hearted wishes she hadn't - I though, have forgiven her.

Anyway, still safely in my cosy box I went back to the Customs Head Office.

There I was unceremoniously dragged from my bed & I interrogated!!!

It was ever so scary, but I held out as best as I could.

They ripped my left paw off my wheels & bent it painful backwards, tweaked my tail & ruffed up my fine felt.

With no confession extracted, these nasty men returned me to Dreamingspires, still demanding the ransom tax be paid.

Mummy on seeing my wrecked box, knew she couldn't have me sent back to the States, so she paid over the many pounds demanded & brought me home.

My Gotcha Day was last Sunday, the 18th October!

I was in a terrible state, all wheelie wobbly & pathetic looking...Mummy fixed a surgical plaster to my poorly sore paw, straighten my tail & lovingly smoothed down my felt.

I rested up on her bed... And, eventually Mummy rejoined my paw to my wheels.

All was was finally well in my world & has remained so.

Must go now, as rumour has it every bear & pup is gathering for a surprise pawty in my honour!

And, I've just seen a cake...

Foxy love & wheelie wishes

Woodstock Road!

Now, I know there are several places named Woodstock.
One is in the United States, young Buttons was apple picking nearby recently & impressing me with his tree climbing skills!
And, there is of course, the local country market town close to Dreamingspires, that it is home to my birth palace.
But, Mother told me, not every one has a road named after them...Hugs,
