When I asked Norman if he realized he was leaving dog hair on the sofa, he blithely replied, “well isn’t that why it’s called fur-niture?”
Wishing you a pawsome Monday.
Because of all the hubbub getting ready for the pet therapy award ceremony last Friday and Norman’s subsequent ‘pawticipation’ at a hospital-sponsored event called Bark in the Park, we completely forgot that Friday was the Ninja’s 6th Gotcha Day (you can read her story here). I know, bad dog mommy. Soooo sorry Elsa, I hope all the one-on-one time spent over the weekend and the extra fish skin treats helped make up for my bad. Love you to the moon and back, Ninja❣️
Hope you don’t forget anything important this week. Everyone at the Ranch sends you their best wishes for a totally ‘wagnificent’ Monday.
Live, love, bark! 🐾
That’s a very good point, Norman! Happy Belated Birthday, Elsa! I’m sure you more than made up for your tardiness, Mom. ♥
We all tried our best. 😇
Happy Gotcha Day, Elsa – belated but all the more heartfelt!
Thanks Herr Pit. We’re big on celebrating all month long when it comes to birthdays!
Chia:Happy 6th GD, Elsa. No one cared enough to record mine.
Lucy: Please don’t say GD, Chia. That’s not nice. Say Gotcha Day. Happy Gotcha Day, Elsa! *wags*
Chia: GD, GD, GD!
Oh Chia, be a nice girl. Someone might get the wrong idea, huh, Lucy? 😆
It’s true, Miss Monika. Chia doesn’t even know the other thing that abbreviation means, and sometimes I have to get a little rough with her to make her listen. But now she knows I won’t hurt her, so she turns my correction into a game. *sigh*
Gotta love those scrappy girls! Even those with potty mouths. 🤣
Lulu: “Ha ha ha! Can’t argue with that, Norman!”
Java Bean: “Happy belated Gotcha Day, Elsa! Milk the guilt for all it’s worth!”
Oh trust me, she needs no encouragement about guilt trips or tips-she’s quite adept at being a world class travel agent able to send anyone on a trip at the drop of a hat! Norman has the whole ‘fur-niture’ thing down as well as Elsa has sending me on guilt trips. 🤣
Norman is such a clever boy. And Elsa is the prettiest birthday girl to boot!
Thanks, I couldn’t agree any more with you. But then I’m biased. 😉
They rock the casbah.
Happy Birthday Elsa. you are both adorable. XO
You’re too kind, Ellen. Thank you!
Benji says the same thing about the car-PET. BOL!
Snorf…funny how that happens!
It’s never too late to celebrate a Gotcha Day. Hope it was a fun weekend, E.
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Elsa says thanks for the reminder! Happy Monday.
Happy belated gotcha day, Elsa!
(we have a lot of “furniture” around here too, LOL!)
I think all pet-parents have that fur-niture issue. And we probably wouldn’t have it any other way. 😉
Yes, a little more cleaning, but it’s worth it!
Norman knows where it’s at.
Happy Gotcha Day, Elsa!
Thanks for the good wishes. Yeah, they both know where it’s at. ☺️Hope the project has gotten off to a good start. Happy Monday.
For sure 🙂
And oy… already running into interesting stuff… You have to wonder at people who do renovations but don’t follow codes…
Happy what’s left of Monday!
Oh dear. Hope it all turns out well. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
It will be beautiful. It will be beautiful. It will be beautiful…. Repeat after me…
😊 It most definitely will. Before you know it, you’ll be making beautiful memories in it!
I sure hope so. It’s as exciting as terrifying!
Happy Gotcha Day, Elsa. I like Norman’s response. We have fur-niture too.
Many thanks for the Gotcha Day well wishes. Norman is nothing if not a funny dude.
😁
He is
Gotcha, Elsa! I bet you think your Mom forgot your Gotcha Day? Ha. She was just waiting to see if you remembered to say something first. (Maybe too late to use this reason this time around…but worth saving in case it happens again lol) Happy Monday, Monika!
Happy Monday right back atcha, Bruce. Yeah I was so caught up with stuff with Norman last week, I totally spaced it out. Felt really badly about it. Poor thing.
Does she show signs of forgiving you yet….or will she hang out for more fish skins….
Elsa’s smart, she’ll likely milk it for all its worth. 🤣

Wee love Elsa two! Lotss!!

Happy Late Gotcha Elsa and Norman – you are one smart guy – of COURSE fur-niture was made to be covered in fur and we do our best to make sure of that right??? Right!
Hugs, Teddy (and Mom Pam)
I think he does double-time on the fur some days! Happy Monday and thanks for the Gotcha Day greetings.
Happy Gotcha day to dear Elsa!! Give her a hug and belly rub for me and Norman is showing his smartz! 🙂
Thank you. She appreciates the good wishes, digital belly rub and hug.
😊💕💕 Most welcome!
Happy late Gotha Day Elsa! And Norman, so right about the fur-niture thing. Absolutely that’s what the couch is for.
Elsa says thanks for the Happy Gotcha wishes. Reality says so on the dog hair, that’s for sure. LOL Happy Monday.
Milo used to be that black… I think he’s a blue now. Happy bday girlie and lol on fur niture
Thanks. She’s showing some minute silvering around her lips. My girl is getting older but she still has the spunk of a puppy most days.
It’s her 6th? Seems like just yesterday you were introducing her to the household!
I know, right? It’s hard to comprehend the time she’s been here. Some days it seems like forever and other times seems like just yesterday. Happy Monday.
That is why it’s called fur-niture. You’re so handsome and smart, Norman.
♪♫Happy Birthday to you,♪♫

I linked this post to Awww Mondays.
Have a fabulous day and week. Scritches to the pups, a smooch to Norman and a big hug to mom. ♥
Thanks for the birthday greetings and the smooch for Norman. We hope you have a ‘furbulous’ Monday, Sandee. And thanks for the Monday link.
happy happy gotcha day dear elsa… and yes… fur-nitures are there for fur….
That what Norman thinks…goodness knows ‘fur-niture’ isn’t for uprights. Thank you for the Gotcha Day wishes. Elsa seems to have forgotten the slight.
groooan….fur-niture. Chester approves and participates! Happy gotcha day Elsa!!
Sorry, couldn’t resist. At least dogs seem to think it’s funny. 😊
Happy Happy Belated Gotcha Day Elsa!! Don’t feel bad, I was just working on a blog post for Levi that I was going to put up on Wednesday, until I realized Wednesday is Roary’s Gotcha Day! I had completely forgotten!! Ugh!!
I felt like such a heel, lucky she doesn’t hold grudges. Well, not too much. Especially when fish skins are used to erase the memory. 😆
