HAPPY [Stop Frowning] MONDAY

Mine Mommy!  What have you done?

Plunked a lefty-over Meow-O-Ween hat on my head?

Of course not, silly June.  Punkins (and a punkin-hat to keep your furry ears warm)

are for now and for all month and soon for Thanksgiving, too ~

But just yessers-day you were all about Christmas,

you have me all confused ...

Well, silly June.  Tip your punkin-hatted head down a

bit for more Christmas reminders ... meowz...

and get that frown off your face!

HAPPY MONDAY

 

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE ~

You can email me, anytime between now and November 20.  

With a little help from mine Mommy, I'll let you know what to send me 

[not too much] to sign up for the Holiday Card Exchange.

Then, just after Thanksgiving I'll send you a list of all the 

friends 'n' furriends who have joined ~ easy-peasy.  

The post office says it's best to send our cards [domestic ones]

by December 18 and [international ones] by December 9, 

if we want Santa and his elves to deliver them by Christmas day!

I really love sending 'n' sharing cards each year, it's kinda sorta

a happy thing to do.  With the Holiday Card Exchange you can choose

to send yours by mail with stamps, or by email or both!

So, paw me a note, JUNE at zoolatry at gmail dot com,

and I'll meow back to you, and I'll send you my Christmas card, too! Meows!

 

HELLO NOVEMBER!

 

A HALLOWEEN HAUNTING

 A HALLOWEEN HAUNTING

This should have been the 18th year* to publish our traditional Halloween Haunting poem, 
as it first appeared here in 2007.  

It has been visualized with the different beloved pets that filled our lives

over the years ~ Maggie, Zoey, Dougie Dog ~ and the words changed slightly as

we moved from the South to return North.

What has not changed is our wish for one and all, humans big and little,

along with their pets to share a fun holiday together!

To those who are home, handing out treats ~ secure your pets safely,

peek out before opening doors.

To those who venture forth ~ keep them close.  If with little ones, keep a

watchful eye all 'round, return home safe and sound.

... boo ... meow ... and happy halloween from "Boolatry"

*a opinion note below on why this is actually the

17th edition of our poem 

A personal opinion:  For the first time in many years, on October 31, 2024 we chose to break with our own tradition and did not publish our annual Halloween Haunting poem.  At that time we were a mere four days away from a presidential election here in the US ... at the time, JUNE wrote on this blog, just because she could: "I can be 'catty' about this ... I think orange is just fine for the pumpkin at my front door.  It is not fine for the leader of my country!"

And yet here we are.

Politics and policies and left and right, issues, democracy: important, absolutely.  Be educated, be informed: important, absolutely.  Underlying all of this is character, and morals and decency.  Absent these, the rest does not matter.  The choice was clear on that day in 2024.  This country made the wrong choice.

And yet here we are.  

Haunted.  Not by ghosts.  By the real life monsters who are tearing apart this country, day by day by day.
