Last Minute Substitution

No Photo Phriday

Normally, on days like these, I would delve into the archives for an extra photo that I took yesterday, or some blast-from-the-past sable & white KirbyCub. Today, I will leave you a little less whole. I'm sorry.

Kirby is on the fifth day of what appears to be Limber Tail. He is much less depressed looking now, but through the first few days, his normally perpetually curly tail was stuck... dragging on the ground. There was no way to describe it other than sad. Next time you see Kirby, doink on his tail. It will curl itself back up in 0.2 seconds. On Monday, in an act of brilliance, I was frantically trying to manually curl it, in the hopes that it would magically repair his broken wagger. Nothin' doin', unfortunately.

I've been giving SuperKirby the Metacam that I have on hand, and he is looking good- in good spirits, and I am doing significantly less carrying of the Kirby up and down the stairs as the days go on. It's all for the better, because apparently, he is too proud to enjoy a free ride up the stairs. In fact, he stops dead in his tracks entering the foyer before he even gets near the stairs. Apparently, he would rather live in the basement than accept a little assistance. Stubborn Shit. Hmmm... I can't imagine where he gets that from.

Yours Truly,
The Human

I got no eyes!

♫ IIIII.... got no eyes to hold me down,

To make me sit, to make me frown! ♪

I got no eyes, as you can see

DUCK!

Incoming... COOKIE!

Coated Dogs.... The Cons.

Okay, the con. It's when you go for a walk every day, and have to deal with this.

OMG, can't walk.

July II - More Kirbily Goodness

We have waited years for this. It came just in time too. As much as I hate to say it, KirbyBear is seven years old now, and if we want to dive into something with all six feet (that's how many we have together, right?), and enjoy it, it better be now.

I have searched high and low, for years, for a Kirby sized pulling-style harness. As you know, Kirby is not only Kirby-sized, Kirby is also Kirby-shaped, and not a lot comes in a Kirby-shape, because Kirby just isn't a universal shape- unfortunately. Kirby has a big chest, and a little neck, and a very slender and attractive tucked up waist; and stuff doesn't come made for Kirbies. Until now. I cannot thank Mandy at Pawsh Companions enough for hand making a Kirby-coloured and Kirby-shaped harness so that Kirby can enjoy all the big dog sports that he's been missing out on, and conquer the world.

Who wants to ride a Kirby-drawn carriage!?

Sorry! I skipped most of July.

Whooops. But I made it back before the little thing that says "July" on the right hand column went away forever, right?

So, what was the big news for July? Other than human being riddled with pneumonia...

This one. Happy belated July!

My very first attempt at a temporary design job was a 40% success. You see, I failed to foresee that my willing subject may not enjoy the blowing-on-through-a-tube-the-skin, and I found myself quite taken aback when I tried to stencil the top of the leaf, and he kept swinging around to look at what I was blowing at on the back of his neck. Unfortunately, the little POS ruined the palms of the leaf. I finished by tipping his ears, and all his toes. Sweet, right? Yeah, except I forgot to take a picture. So thumbs totally down for the human.

The other minus-point is that I assumed "temporary" meant temporary. It is a water colour marker after all. That means it should come off in water, right? Well, mostly. Now I have a dog with pale pink toes, and a pink blob on his back. It's slightly depressing, since I LOVED his tail and ear tips, and I would have had no problem at all if they were permanent. But of course those two bits rinsed away, and I couldn't get the back & toes out if I soaked the little devil in turpentine. Zoinks.
