Mornin' Sillies!

I just read The Rainbow Bridge again this morning, and wept anew...what a beautiful piece. I think I am now looking at my animals a little differently...a little longer, perhaps, with my heart swelling a little more.

On to Silliness!...I'm afraid my silly well is dry at present...anyone?

[blueeyedmanda]

Morning Emily!!!!

How are you on this rainy morning? Another work week ahead of us....4 more days until the weekend!! Let the countdown begin.

Got this from my sister this morning

Cute

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about it. If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.

The boys' mother heard that a new preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.

The preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Do you know where God is, son?"

The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.

So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?!"

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "Where is God?!"

The boy screamed & bolted from the room, ran directly home & dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.

When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time."

"GOD is missing, and they think we did it!"

Now wait just a COTTON PICKING MINUTE! For those of you who don't know, God went to Bora Bora this time. But I'm mad as Hell (wow, that seemed sacriligious! :ph34r: ) because he PROMISED to take me on his next one!

He had some 'splainin to do!

[Jestgar]

Huge hugs to you and Annie, Susie. Last year I lost my 13 year old cat who had seen me through a lot of major changes in my life. Sometimes our pets are more than our best friends. They hold our hearts for us.

Labrador Retriever + Curly Coated Retriever =

Lab Coat Retriever, the choice of research scientists (Jess, have you got one of these?)

yes, but he looks a lot like a bio major freshman

I KNOW! There's even been a DEATH in sillyville, and no sign of our Founder. BAh!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're feeling hopeful......she was frolicsome this morning and adorable......the sun is shining today and we'll take the longest walk in the orchard.....

I, for one, don't think Celiacs should ever have to succumb to a stomach virus --I mean, come on, we get enough of that just trying to live life!!!

Queen Jess--can you proclaim this?

OK

I hereby proclaim that NO SillyYaks (or SillyYeti) will be allowed to indulge in stomach viruses. We already take more than our fair share of toilet time and to take advantage of helpless viruses in order to claim MORE toilet time is just seditious.

And as long as we now have a non-posting advocate:

Tika, I know you have a lot to do with getting settled and all, but I would appreciate it if you would have a word with everyone's pets and inform them that there are to be NO MORE ILL HEALTH ISSUES amongst the furred. We have had enough goo to clean up to last us the rest of the year.

I expect complete compliance by all

[jerseyangel]

Hi Susie,

Good morning after your long winter's nap So glad to hear you two girls are feeling better today.

Yeah--Richard....I used to see him reading once in a while, but I think maybe he's left us for good

[Jestgar]

AND

In honor of the Tikster everyone will have to use the letter 'R' excessively for the rest of the day.

from wikipedia:

Open Original Shared Link

Dog's Letter

The letter R is sometimes referred to as the dog's letter. This phrase has Latin origins, the Latin R was trilled so it sounds like a snarling dog. A good example of a trilling R is the Spanish word for dog: perro. [2]

[jerseyangel]

I expect complete compliance by all

Well, there you have it! The Queen has spoken--no more icky viruses, errant fluids or pet goo.

I can live with that

[blueeyedmanda]

Hi Susie,

I even pmed Richard a few weeks ago just to say hi. Never got a response. He has went MIA since my honeymoon. Maybe I scared him when I went to Rochester for the honeymoon....I cannot keep friends I scare them away.

Someone as sweet as you? I don't believe that for a minute

I'm sure Richard just got very busy with his new job, and got out of the habit of checking in on the board

[dlp252]

Susie and Annie...a little late, but sending my {{{{HUGS}}}} too!

[elye]

Can you rumage up Richard?

I was thinking of Richard with the passing of our Stinker, and the FABULOUS avatar he pimped of her flying through the air with a Superman cape billowing behind her. Susie, you should put it up again. I want to see this super girl again!

P.S LOVE Gus's new haircut!!!!!!! (takes years off him! ) ......frankly I love the sub-standard look with curly tail!!!!!!

It is quite a ridiculous, and yet adorable tail. Very hilarious when he tries to wag it, as it doesn't swish...too tight a curl. It just quivers and his bum goes--very cute, perhaps, in a little pug, but just pathetic with an eighty-pounder...

Sometimes our pets are more than our best friends. They hold our hearts for us.

OMG...Jess...you are making me tear up again...

I hereby proclaim that NO SillyYaks (or SillyYeti) will be allowed to indulge in stomach viruses. We already take more than our fair share of toilet time and to take advantage of helpless viruses in order to claim MORE toilet time is just seditious.

Very good...we have a royal edict from our Queen. All Hail!

I was wondering, speaking of our Yeti, if he should perhaps spend a little time at Susie's. I realize that no one will ever take Tika's place, but he would be an enormous furry beast that would be there for a hug, or to take a couple of punches if grieving anger sets in, or just to clean up the house, so Susie can rest. Susie, do you have a hockey bag? Let him take care of it. OH! very important....roll up any carpets if he's coming.

[tom]

BTW...Went to bed last night, and spent the hour before I drifted off choking back full-blown laughter, thinking about simultaneous naked Sillyville posting. .. .. ..

...I'd still like to know what our names would look like...

:lol:

Forget it lady, I'm keepin' my pants on!!!

Ohhhhh my . .. .

oh, sweet friends, I have very sad news.....

My beautiful, noble girl is gone.

For Tika:

"Beauty without vanity,

Strength without insolence

Courage without ferocity

And all the Virtues

Of Man without his vices."

~Lord Byron

Ohhhh Susie .. . . ..

So very sorry for your loss.

Nikki - Rainbow Bridge - beautiful and I'm not ashamed to say I got a little misty.

<but don't tell anyone!>

Susie, I was going to request a tale of Tika.

You far exceeded my expectations there. Tonkanese Lizard Stomp :lol:

And I can just picture you all at Carmel Beach.

"Held a job"

The books!

Pearls on the Peninsula!

She did have a great life and you two were blessed to have each other. <sniff>

[AndreaB]

Reading about the loss of Tika and the wonderful life she led brought tears to my eyes.

She's not hurting anymore. She had an extraordinary life and human mother.

Keep those wonderful memories and make more memories with Annie.

Hugs coming your way........I know they aren't the same as the real thing, but with the distance they'll have to do.

[blueeyedmanda]

I second the notion for the Yeti to pay a very special visit to Susie. I also have gotten her a care package and it contains some great PA wine, and some gluten-free goodies. He can bring it to her doorstep

[Jestgar]

great PA wine,

Is this one of those oxymorons?
