Horsing Around




Come a little closer. That camera looks yummy.

 

Elvert the Gubknit and I decided to leave the Blog Bog for a day and go down to the park to see the  friendly equines. I don't really know them very well but that did not seem to matter much to them. They poked their heads over the fence to eagerly reach the luscious green dandelions that I had freshly picked and snatched them right out of my fingers. They were very gracious, never refusing any of my offerings.

I was mesmerized as I watched their lips fold up as they nudged me and I couldn't help but think "what big teeth you have." Whoops, wrong story. Sorry.

Dazzle the Dancing Dragonfly did not come with Elvert and me, murmuring something about having to practice her plies. Sweet Pea was also afraid to join us. Something about the horses' fondness for vegetation. Snap. Crunch. Yikes! Princess Sapphire and King Siam stayed back in the Blog Bog World, meowing about that darn Dalmatian who lived in the stable and how he wasn't a very good hostess the last time they visited. Probably the dog chasing cat issue had surfaced again.



 Another painting of the Bog-on the day we left on our adventure.



So. That just left me and Elvert, whom no one seemed to notice. Or maybe they just couldn't tell him apart from all the other Gubknits flying around. But that probably accounts for all the odd looks I was garnering as I carried on an animated conversation with my friends. "You're so pretty" I said to the chestnut mare and "My, you're a big one" to what looked like a Clydesdale Budweiser horse. They were so silly with their head bobs, grinning teeth, and the way they went after my fingers for more snacks. For a minute, I thought Elvert was going to get gobbled up too. But all in all, it was a lovely adventure with God's creatures in paradise. You'll have to come with us the next time!

He knows when you're happy
He knows when you're comfortable

He knows when you're confident
And he always knows when you have carrots.

Purrfect Princess Saphire Poses

Princess Saphire the SophistiCat is married to King Siam so I think technically that should make her a Queen. Although I am not sure how all that lineage royalty really works. Anyways, Saphire strikes me more as a Princess. Her best friends Sweet Pea the Sugarbug and Dancing Dazzle sometimes call her "So", which is short for SophistiCat. Her kittens call her Meo-So. That is Siamese speak for Mama. It all gets a little confusing and it reminds me of that old Laurel and Hardy skit.

Sweet Pea the Sugarbug: So, who's got the mouse?

Princess Saphire: What?

Sweet Pea: So, who's got the mouse?

Princess Saphire: I heard you. What?

Sweet Pea: So what?

Princess Saphire: You asked me. What mouse?

Oh, all this caterwauling could go on for days in the Blog Bog World. LOL. Anyways, Princess Saphire loves to pose for my portraits and she always looks so sleek and elegant. And of course, you can always hear King Siam in the Blog Bog World singing "Yes I am Siam the Siamese Cat from Siam".

We have had abnormally warm temperatures here in the Bog and I think spring has sprung. Dazzle has put away her leg warmers and Elvert, one of the Gubknits (which is ironically stinkbug spelled backwards, tee hee) is flying around like crazy. Zephora is spring cleaning her lily pad and I may remodel the imaginary art studio again. It's gonna be a wacky ride.

So Purr-ty!
