Ahoy, mateys! You probably knew “International Talk Like a Pirate Day” was earlier this week but did you know my knuckleheaded mum neglected to post about it. Arrrgh! Sam here. She says it’s because she had already scheduled the Gotcha Day recipes and the ‘minor fact’ that we’ve been working this week at hospital, hospice and West Pines and she was totally up to her eyeballs in alligators getting our uniforms ready, making me walk the bath plank getting all spiffed up. Yeah, yeah, no excuses ye wench, just results, okay?
Aye, lucky for me lads and lassies…I did find my inner pirate for Speedy’s Annual Pirate Party and the cool gang from Blogville are celebrating all sorts of fun shenanigans today with an end of summer picnic , a ‘Trashure’ Hunt, and a barnyard dance and make sure you enjoy a margarita or two from Ruby’s. Sorry if I furgot any other activities-it’s been one of those weeks.
I’m kinda tuckered out from my work this week and since I’ve got more than four left feet, I’m watching from the comfort of my sofa bed whilst rejuvenating from some busy hospital visits but encourage effuryone to check out the festivities. The guys from Blogville are all so clever and always have such a great time. No doubt there are sure to be loads of scallywags and landlubbers enjoying themselves and a great time will be had by all. Shiver me timbers…those guys know how to host a pawty! Hope the week was kind to you. Now go enjoy the first weekend of Autumn, ok? Happy autumnal equinox.
Lie, love bark! ❤︎
Your a stunning privateer. I overlooked it as well and even had a snare hand for card shark.
Gosh, we haven’t had much time for partying lately! Life can get crazy sometimes, can’t it, Sam?
Well, that just makes us appreciate the quiet times, when they come, even more.
Quiet is good and heaven knows we need more of those these days.
I found a pirate’s flag in the middle of the forest near me on Friday. Did you plant it there? I was puzzled by it but brought it home!
Nope, wasn’t us. 😄
I ate at Long John Silver’s this week. I did not order like a pirate, though….
⚔️ That’d work.
Sam you are aaaarrrguably one of the most handsome (more than three teeth) pirates I’ve ever seen. Ahoy!
😆 Yo, ho, ho…and a bottle of [insert favorite libation here].
Your a lovely pirate. I forgot about it too and even had a hook hand for gambler.
Oh my, we’ll be walking the plank here for me missed Talk Like a Pirate Day, too!

My Momma’s just a huge humbug! She doesn’t participate in any special days. Well, except for 2016 Talk like a pirate because I was the kitty featured in the graphic. So I guess she can be bribed into participating 😉
And a great kitty at that!
It has been a really fun day! have a great weekend
hugs

DOH! I missed it! Actually I didn’t even know there was a “Talk like a Pirate Day!” Sounds like a lot of fun pawtying goin’ on!
Guaranteed to give you the giggles at how creative peeps are.
You make a marvelous pirate! We are partying hard at the Blogville dance after all of the fun activities during the day. What a fun way to start off the fall season!
My 4 left feet keep me from the dance floor but I do love to check out all those Rico-suavey dawgs with the cute girl pups. 😆
As usual, as smile spread clear across my face with Sam’s hilarious voice. LOVE!
{Blush} You always brighten our day when you drop by. Thanks!
Sounds like you and your mom have had a busy week. Hope you get to relax and have fun this weekend.
Thank you. It WAS busy and will be for a while till that calendar project is wrapped up. Still, we probably wouldn’t want it any other way. 😍
your photo was well worth the wait! Have a most pawesome day and a great weekend! xoxo
😍
Thank dogness you didn’t have to walk the plank! We have been having a great time at all the events today! And best of all . . . it’s Friday!
Your Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
We are SO not ready for fall, can we have a June reset?
You can have it, but I’m not going back to all those 90+ degree days, thank you very much. 😇
Our lot just want pieces of eight…to buy more bones.
That’s pretty admirable in our eyes!
I sense a possible Halloween costume.
I’d rather give out candy to the neighborhood kiddos. I get more ear scratches that way. 😆
happy furst autumn weekend to you too… and to tell the truth I have 4 left paws too… I bet the blue suede shoes are no longer beautiful after a dance with me ;O)
You and my Ninja sister can argue over who gets to eat them! BOL
You gotta get your priorities straight. Who’s more important? All of us or sick people?
You made me smile Sam! Happy Fall to you and you look quite dandy as a pirate!
I do rather cast a handsome shadow on the seven seas…so long as I don’t have to ‘be’ in the water!
Ducky could be a pirate BUT with all that’s been going on around here lately, I don’t have much time for it. Besides, she doesn’t like being “dressed up” in any costume. Which is why I stopped taking her to daycare for their Halloween pawties. (It’s all in good fun; but the last time she went, I asked them to NOT put a costume on her – even for pictures – and they did anyway. It kind of annoyed me. Y’know? She was obviously uncomfortable with it. I said something – nicely – to the owner and then dropped it; but I haven’t subjected Ducky to it since then.
That dog for Pizap…Sam isn’t into costumes either. He’s more of a strictly ‘bandana’ kind of guy.
