TOESDAY!

This rascal slept all day way up in the Oak tree next to the deck of our vacation house! Bet ya know these cute toesys!
... and here he is!!!!!!
BL fishing on The Kermudgeon.
RG kayaking - a first!

"THEY ARE BACK ....

.... we got to go outside. Whoop-de-doo." - Lucky"Aww - we missed you all immensely Clucker! We also had a good time. BL got the biggest fish! A 5# 20 inch small-mouth bass. On a No. 8 hook and worm - which is REAL small! We measured it and let it go - the lake NEEDS it!"
"We caught 135 fish (mostly small blue gills - 5 of us fishing off and on) and ate them ALL!"
"My Dad is 92 + and here he is getting snuggled by BL while driving his pontoon boat "The Kermudgeon" - which was our fishing platform!"
"Us on the Lake Michigan beach at Empire - a favorite place."
"We had a fun time and are glad to be back home. Maybe some more pix on a later post. Will catch up on all the blogs soon." (@Karen - we saw the Schooners but spent most of our time a bit south of TC on Silver Lake in my brother's place and fishing from The Kermudgeon. Another brother lives near Interlochen, Big Sis lives across the street from Bryant Park, and little Sis lives near the Bay a bit north of Elk Rapids. Dad lives in what I think is called Bay Meadows just off Silver Lake Rd. Wonderful weather.)
(PS - A HUGE Thanks to FOTA (RenoRabbits) for wonderful bunny care.)

Toey of Zoey!

Indeed a royal foot. I bet the slipper fits!"OK folks. BL and RG are off for several days - going to Traverse City, Michigan - where lives RG's 92 year old Dad and his (RG's) 2 brothers and 2 sisters. Staying in a lake-front summer cottage of one of the Bro's and fishing with whoever wants to go. The Old Dad has a nice pontoon boat for that and enjoys a libation in the afternoon on the deck. Not sure of the I-net opportunities - this might be it until September 18. FOTA (Friend Of The Animals) at RenoRabbits will do most of the heavy bunny-and-KB care, with help from a bunch of good friends. Adios for now." - RG
(How about these Bat Toes???? Found the guy hanging around in the barn the other day!)

"NEW DOO."

"It's going to be quite warm here the next few days. Goldie got a good trim. I don't know if she likes it!" - RG"I don't."

"DUST MOPS"

The Boyz (Winston and Lucky) could mop the floor fine eh? Instead it looks like they are scheming again. Yikes.

"YOU SEEN KB, SAVANNAH? ....

.... No Chico. Have you?" - Savannah"Heh, heh, heh." - KB

("Better than fighting." - RG)

"NO TIN-HORN LOCKUP ....

.... is any match for me. I'll be out in time for lunch." - The Golderina Girl"Fresh greens and a blueberry waiting sweetie." - RG

"THE FEE FOR TRIP-TRAP-TROMPING ....

.... is 4 blueberries, 3 yogurt drops, 2 BIG hunks of nanananananana, and ONE snuggly nose rub!" - The Princess -Oh Yeah!-

"I'M SUCH A SLACKER ....

.... I got NO Toesies pictures. I guess I take after Kitty Boy?" - RG Catch up tomorrow - I hope ...

"WHAT I THINK OF MONDAY IS ....

.... this." - Savannah"I can agree totally kiddo." - RG

"LUCKY'S DILEMA"

"Are there more treats down or more treats up?" - Lucky(Racer's Picture? - right out of the camera - no touchups of any sort. Interesting, eh?)

OPTICAL ILLUSION?

"Am I ON the box or IN the box? Has "Photoshopping" been used? Or was it Cut and Paste? Chime in." - Racer "PS - aren't I cute anyway??? - R."

"UH - PRINCESS! MY GOODNESS IT IS 10:30AM!"

"OK, OK. So I slept in some. So What? Where is my breakfast? And ... don't be going all furminator on me either.

"Yes'M."

(You folks being shaken, toasted, flooded and now in the path of Irene - hunker down!)

"I'M NOT TIPSY ...

... I'm not stumbling. I can walk and hop just fine. I was just -a- just -a-a -peeking in the door! Yes - just peeking in. I was NOT in there." - Zoey

Zoey got a new box to replace that sad thing she used to have to deal with ...

TUESDAY TOESIES UNDER PROTEST ....

"I was rudely awakened, dragged bodily from my home and put under a horrid spot light, just so you could have some Tuesday Toes. I certainly hope you all enjoy it." - Benji

"WOOFED!"

Here's Chico in "rest" mode - taken through the screen door.

WINSTON'S HOME ....

"If Winnie played his cards right, he could maybe be President of the US of A, what with a house like that!" - RG"And I would want to be that because????...." - Winnie Poo Poo

"WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK? ....

.... should I go in that dive?" - Zoey

BRINGING HOME THE BACON ....

"Ah - a nice afternoon fishing for Pink Salmon on the mighty Skagit River!" - BL"Son of a gun! Lookee here!"
"She did not catch it - a guy felt sorry for her and gave it to her. He shoulda given carrots. Hmpffffff." - The Princess

("I could be on the Drudge Report!")

FOR BL ....

.... Bouquet and Bunny! (The garden gladiolas are blooming well this year!)

LUCKY'S TOESIES AND .....

Sorry Lucky, I just could not resist.

THIS AND THAT ....

"It's a BORING this and that, I guarantee it." - ChicoSome of BL's pretty porch flowers
RG has a project for this side of the house ...

How about this - almost done!

"No bunns allowed. - MINE!" - Kitty Boy

"FOR ME???? ....

.... oh RG, they are beautiful. You needn't have." - Your ever-beloved Zoey."Uh - actually they were for B ... er, yes, I mean no, er - yes, that's it. For YOU, Zoey!

(Oh dear - somebody help me out here ...) - RG

"PUSH REAL HARD, WINNIE ....

.... maybe you'll get lift-off!"(Both of the Boyz are doing some serious shedding!)

"IS IT OVER THERE BENJI? ....

.... Nope, how about where you are, Goldie?"Looking for the proverbial Treat in the Haystack!

TOESIES FOR TUESDAY ....

... this girl needs attention. Who dares????

"NOW - IF I CAN FIGURE THIS THING OUT ....

.... I'll get some PAYBACK photos!!!!" - Lucky "Oh oh." - RG

(We usually go crabbing between the oil-refinery docks and Cap Sante just out of Anacortes. Traps are about 2 feet by 2 feet by one foot with little in-opening doors for the crabs to enter. There are tiny slots for under-sized ones to escape. We put chicken in wire-mesh bait boxes hooked to the bottom. About 75 feet of rope - water is about 60 feet deep there. Each licensed person can have two traps down. Leave them down for about 45 minutes. Generally they are FULL of small and female Dungeness crabs with one or two big males in there as well! The season and limits are managed to assure a good supply. Recreational season is mid-July through September, 5 days a week. There is a big commercial catch here too, at a different time of the year. The whole exercise drives BL nutso!)

"WINSTON! ARE YOU NOT JUST SO EXCITED?"

"BL and RG went out with friends crabbing today! A beautiful day and limits (5 big males) for all!" "An unbelievable Crab Louis for dinner!" "Yumster ..."
"Not really (yawn). Got treats?"

"SOMEBODY HAS BEEN SLEEPING ....

.... in MY house, and HERE HE IS! Move it, Cat!" - ChicoThat cat just waltzed in and made himself right at home!!!

TWO BOYZ ....

.... One salad.Pretty good at sharing there! Look at how they each left the last carrot for the other!

"GAB, GAB, QUACK, QUACK ....

... heard any good jokes lately Benji?" "No, Chico. But then, I was sleeping for a bit there." BUNNY CHIT-CHAT

TOESIES FOR TUESDAY - BUT FIRST ...

.... BL is in Wenatchee at daughter's. Lots of Bluegill fishing is the plan. Here is the first one - that is a whopper! ("The gloves?" you ask. Can't be getting worm mung in those fancy nails now!) And some fluffy "LUCKY TOES"!!!

"I'M RACER."

"I'm cute."Short on words, big on attitude.
