OMC- Puck sneaking up on the food to the music of Woodie Guthrie. That, ladies and gentlecats, is Americana at it’s finest (and damned funny…) Happy Fourth!!
And props were props are due… THANK YOU for the cutest image imaginable (Pucky sneaking up on the food table) and the Guthrie tribute. Well done, milady… VERY well done.
Good morning and happy Wednesday/Hump Day to all orbsters and orbabies. Also a happy 4th of July to everyone South of the border. I apologize for not posting much the past few days and hope I haven’t worried anyone; we were at Paul’s mom’s for the Canada Day long weekend and the last 2 days at the hospital have been crazy hectic. Today we start a little later, so I actually have some breathing room. Hugs, bumps and boops to all, and a special hug for MoreCatsthanSense.
Happy Independence Day to all my fellow US-of-A peoples!!! Happy Hump Day to the rest of you. See? You made it thru Monday and Tuesday, and are on the slide into Saturday! And, Puck, remember, all things in moderation, you do NOT want to have to go to the VET!!!
“Whatever this is” is a much better name for what that seems to be than anything else I’ve ever heard it called.
Reminds me of the canonical “green stuff” that my ex-girlfriend’s family always had for every holiday. (I think there were pistachios in it, but beyond that it was a complete mystery.)
Hehe! “This food was made for you and me!” Sing it Pucky! (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Huge engulfing bear hugs, orb bumps and boops going out to everyone who needs them, with special hugs for Shaunnmunn who has been such a great source of encouragement for me)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) My dear friend Shaunn, Katherine and Serenasakitty please know I deeply appreciate your emails and shall write back as soon as I return to England. Xxxxx
My cats get a little cold fried chicken and just a touch of whipped cream on the side and a bite of shortcake if they want. We finally live in a place where fireworks are all confined to a professional display a long way out of town, so there should be no unpleasant surprises for them.
Happy 4th of July to the southern neighbours! I may go down to White Rock beach tonight to watch the fireworks in Blaine, it’s usually a good show.
Puck, you are beyond adorable :) Back when I had 4 cats they had to be watched constantly as they’d always try and help themselves to people food. Luckily the current 2 have no interest and can be trusted.
Happy 4th of July! May all celebrating in the states enjoy a day of freedom, reflection, and potato salad!
Some folks have noticed Puck’s Hamilton outfit and stance! We’ve never had a 4th of July special, maybe one year in the future Puck will rally the cats to take the potato salad with him, haha!
Puck the founding kitty. He found this food and that food, so please give it to him. He sings it so nice please just a little for the founding kitty please.
I believe that cats’ favorite verse to “This Land…” is the one that goes, “As I was walking that ribbon of highway I saw a sign that said ‘Private Property’ but on the other side it didn’t say nothing …” Kids don’t usually sing that one in school but Woody Guthrie always sang it.
Georgia does have a knack for detail. Puck’s sightly squinted eye as he is inspecting “whatever this is”. Makes it worthwhile to read it more than once.
Evening of July 4, 1969, we had pulled into the turning basin in Dong Tam, Mekong Delta, and tied up to the pontoon near the other boats. Twelve of us (crews from several boats) decided to celebrate the Fourth by sitting in a circle on the pontoon with a pop flare in each hand. On the count of three, we each banged both of our pop flares on the pontoon, setting them off. Nobody had told anyone on base of our intent, so the base though that they were under attack and scrambled when 24 flares went off overhead Various commanding officers were not amused, but did realize that combat troops were wont to relieve tensions any way they could, so we were all informed that they were “peeved” with us, but no disciplinary action was taken. It was fun.
Well, guess we have three Lupins. None are deaf, guess their just cats of adventure. Course we didn’t have hugely loud fireworks, but they were loud enough that you’d expect to come in and have to find Smokey and the boys. Nope, they were sitting there at the door looking like "Ok, you’ve had your fun now where’s our dinner. Was still half an hour away from their dinner time which I’m delaying on them by typing this. So I better get going before they decide to pitch three tantrums and wreck the house. Take care folks and enjoy the rest of your evening/day.
Once or twice Henry came in here and tried to hide, but most of the fireworks are over, and he’s in there eating. Everything is more or less back to normal.

I said it yesterday, someone check the potato salad. And in the last panel today Puck has a pawful of potato salad. Heros dare to try…. potato salad.

This is one of Georgia’s best-ever. All the usual little details, Pucky singing a Woody filk, all the food including the whatever-this-is.
