"I'M NO FOOL. ...

... But there is one around here somewhere!"  -  Chico - the Know-it-All

"Maybe it's me, Cheekers.  I got dragged around by kids looking for geo-chaches.  We found eleven.  I'm woofed." - RG the Pooped.

SPRING IS SPRINGING HERE!

 "Well good.  Tell it to keep it down a bit."  -  KB the Lazy.

WINSTON'S LAMENT

"I bet there's rich bunns ridin'

in those fancy, shiny cars.

 While I just sit here wastin'

Behind these old gray bars.

I'm stuck in RG's prison -

Oh woe is me ...." 

Winston the Lost

"Oh lighten up Winnie Le Poo.  You are out in your huge open-air daytime play deck where I stick dandelion greens through the posts for you when I am out working.  Life is fine ..."  -  RG the Setter Straighter 

"LIKE MY RIDE, CHEEKERS? ...

... Shaved, chopped, channeled, lo-slung, soft-top with rolled and pleated upholstery.  Rear-seat speakers.  Pearl Pink 1949 V8 custom Mercury - with dual cherry bombs!"  "Dream on Zoey, dream on."

 "Tis OK Zoey.  My ship hasn't some in either - but the dream lives!"  -  Vroom Vroom RG.

"HEY! HEY BL! ...

... Come here and turn this thing up a notch or two, will you?"  -  Chilly Racer

"Be patient there boy.  She is coming.  Just hang on a minute .. Racer, RACER - don't bite the cor ... oh rats.  Why can't a rabbit have patience with a slow hoomin?"  -  RG the Electrician (not)

"NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION, ...

... Don't I have pretty white tosies too? - THE Princess 

"You have a coat of MANY pretty colors kiddo!"  -  RG the shrewd 

BUNN ON THE RUNN!

"You don't see me.  I am not here." - The Princess Invisible

"Now and again she takes a run through the living and dining areas.  But the lure of fresh oats always brings her back home." - RG the Savvy

(For those of you USA College Basketball fans, the Sweet 16 is ready to go.  We are in a pool run by my seriously wacky brother-in-law in Michigan.  $7 on the line.  Big money ($60/$70?) to be won!  We are neophytes but BL is listening to the Bracketer-in-chief and I'm going with the jersey colors I like so we'll see how we do!  Don't know yet if we'll compromise on a single entry or submit our own.  Stay tuned - maybe we'll be rich!) 

"YOU ARE TOO LATE, RG. ...

.. I just finished drinking water from the bowl.

 You will have to settle for me eating!" - Chico the Fast

"I know, I know.  There is supposed to be a picture of KB for the weekend.  But I had this great one of him looking in the plants for Froggy, and now I have LOST it!  How can I lose a digital picture? ... (shhh - quiet now, no comments needed.)  Anyway, I have no others and he is sleeping and who needs to see a picture of a cat sleeping for the whole weekend?  So a double Chico it is.  Try not to hyper-ventilate." - RG the Perplexed

POSIES AND ZOEY ...

... It must be Spring!

"Too bad our Mr. Weather has that "S" word in the forecast.  Brrrr."  -  RG Chilly

IT WAS A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT ...

"Hey. The lights just flickered - twice.  The wind is howling.  Rain is spattering.  I'm going in.  Wake me when it is over, or salad is delivered - which ever comes first!" - Priority Winnie

"Right (and smart) you are Poopsy.  I heard some branches crack and fall.  It is really blowing.  I found my flashlight and one for BL.  Duck and cover!" - RG the Wussss

DRINKING WATER

"How often do you actually see a bunny drinking from a bowl?" -  RG the Surprised

"The bowls are always well used by the AM, but the only one we see drink is Racer, because we hear him bang on the bottle - he is the only non-bowler."

SHEDDING ...

"Benji getting plucked..."

"I like playing in the outside hay-bag a LOT better!"  -  Benji the Free

TALKIN' APPLES

"Here is what is (was - they are all in the compost pile now) left of the apples from our trees.  Folks asked about maybe making cider or apple sauce with the better ones.  But look - Washington is the Apple Capital of the World for gosh sakes.  Our stores are awash with them - pretty good and not bad prices.  Plus we get to try some other kinds for awhile!"  RG - the Buy Local Guy!

 "I like apples.  Do you like my white nosy and tosies?  Of course you do!  That is why I am who I am!"  -  Racer the Cute

"KEEP IT QUIET DOWN THERE, BENJI. ...

... I'm napping here."  -  KB the Woofed.

"Have a good weekend.  More rain due here."  -  RG the Moldy

"I SKINNED MY STICK.

... Now it's time for a nap.  Bye bye."  -  Pooped Princess.

"Have not seen Froggy for quite awhile.  We fear the worst - or hibernation."

CHUBBY CHEEKS!

"Whoa there RG.  Who you calling chubby?  We saw you eat the 2nd piece of pie tonight." - Chico the Svelte

"Dang.  Caught in the act.  Yup - but it was the last pie from the last of our fall apples.  The rest are mushy and heading to the compost pile.  It's store bought until September." - RG the Contrite.

"LET'S SEE HERE NOW ....

Knit One and Pearl Two  ... or is it Knit Two and Pearl One ... oh heck, I'm "all thumbs" anyway when it comes to this stuff.  Maybe BL will knit me some nice baby blue slippers."  -  Racer the Wise.

"I'm sure your fans await your fashion debut, Racer."  RG the Supportive.

"IF WE DON'T LOOK ....

... it won't be there.  Dang, there was still a little good chew left in that other one and we were just getting it the way we liked it."  -  Chico and Zoey in Denial

"Oh fellers - give it a try.  BL looked all over for it."  -  RG the Coaxer

"EAT? DRINK? EAT? DRINK? ...

... I just can't decide.  It's making me tired." - Benji the Indecisive.

"Help Benji out here.  What do YOU think?  Eat?  Drink?  Sleep?"  -  RG the Questioner

"CATS ARE WEIRD ....

... but reasonably smart."  -  RG the Amused

"This floats MY boat!"  -  KB the Cozy

"WHAT'S THAT NOISE! WHAT'S THAT NOISE."

"Look left, look right, look up, look down.  Where is that noise?"  -  The Alert Group

 "Ride Captain, Ride."

"Our 2nd choice - The Dreamster!"

WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT

"I love this yachting Zoey!  Dry, warm, food, you ... sweet!"  -  Admiral Chico

"Works for me too Chico.  Do you think we might SOMETIME actually float?"  "By the way.  All that commotion out in the yard a bit ago?  That red mower was neither new nor coming.  It was leaving.  Now how will BL ever trim the grass?"  -  Zoey the Concerned Snoop

REAL men don't let their ladies drive red mowers.

CINCO DE MARZO ....

"Never can practice with Mexican food enough.  Here are two different kinds of enchiladas and some red beans and rice.  I am going to be having yummy L.O.s for awhile."  -  Chubby RG.

"Door's open but it is a long jump down there.  What the heck - I've got them well trained.  I'll just stay right here where they know to bring treats.  If I go wandering I might starve."  -  Racer the Shrewd.

(No new news on the mower happenings.)

SALAD-TIME CONVERSATION ...

"Good stuff, hey Zoey?"  "It is, it is.  But you eat so fast Chico."  "Mine was littler, need any help?"  "I'm doing fine."  "I didn't hear the mower today Zoey.  And it WAS a good day to mow."  "I know Cheekers - but I sure heard RG use a lot of bad words out by the barn."  "Ah Ha!  THAT explains why BL dragged RG off on an afternoon shopping trip and came back with a BIG smile on her face."

(Stay Tuned.)

"DO I SMELL SPRING? ...

...Is that Spring we smell Princess?" - Benji the Sniffer.  I do believe it Benji.  It has been a long gloomy winter." - Princess the Hopeful.

"Yep - it is starting to show around here.  We will do our first lawn mowing on Monday if I can make the mower run."  -  RG the Mechanic.

("get a john deere." -  BL the Mower Whisperer.)

ONE UNHAPPY BUNNY!

"Good work on the issues with The Princess yesterday - she was one unhappy bunny.  I think I am back in good graces for now."  -  RG the Excused

 "Awhile back I won this hand-crafted from re-cycled goods pencil holder from Crafty Green Poet.  At the time I said I would use it as part of my field-work kit.  Today I, and a few others, went on a weekly survey looking for spawned surf-smelt eggs along Fidalgo Bay.  The holder is part of our kit!" - RG the Citizen Scientist

"Hey!  RG.  Could you push buttons A 6?  Thanks.  It's the Garfield rerun channel." - KB in BL's Netflix Chair

("Yur gonna get it KB!" - RG the Warner)
