Monday Musings ~ March 11, 2024

It’s that time of the year where (1) everyone is Irish and (2) there’s hope that I will be successful in capturing a couple of ‘Irish themed’ pics with the Ranch Hands . Wilson is pretty chill about being dressed up…whereas Elsa took one look at my box of hats and flatly said, “NOT A CHANCE IN THIS LIFETIME.” Sigh. Luckily I found this cartoon for a seasonal smile and will see if there’s anything that might change her mind between now and March 17th. Wish me luck. Wishing you a terrific Monday and week.

St. Patrick's Day

Live, love, bark 🐾

  1. Lulu: “Our Dada says he’s going to try to remember to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day this year. We’ll see if he pulls it off or not. He’s part Irish so if he forgets, I think that means we get to bite him!”

    1. I think it’s pinch, not bite but I get the whole “we don’t have thumbs” excess. Either way, hopefully you’ll all enjoy the fun of this day and act at least a little bit Irish…i.e. corn beef for everyone (well except for vegetarians).

  2. We’re not Irish here but we sure enjoy the festivities of St. Patrick’s Day!

    1. As holiday’s go, St. Patrick’s Day isn’t a bad one to enjoy. 😉 Thanks for swinging by.

    1. No doubt…I’m sure he had a double or three to calm his brain down. 🍺 🍺 🍺 LOL

    1. Why is exactly why there’s a big hat box. 😉 Hope you and the kitties have a great week.

  3. I’ve got my greens ready to wear. Now to plan for a good Irish meal! I doubt Elsa will change her mind, at least if she’s anything like my Xena, who liked getting dressed when she was a puppy and teenage dog. We feel certain Angel Lexi came to her and said, “Whatever you do, do NOT let them dress you in clothes.”

    1. While Elsa has come a very long way with quirks since being rescued from the puppy mill, posing for pics has never been her jam. As for greens, we’re expecting a big snow storm…so I will need to get the mittens and anorak out again-no one will be able to see if any of us are wearing green. Aww, what a lovely thing Angel Lexi continues to gift your home. 😍

    1. Here’s hoping it’s all you’re hoping for…minus the whiny snakes. 😆

    1. Glad you enjoyed the cartoon. It made me snort coffee out of my nose and reminded me when the kids were little and we went to Grandma’s house. They used to say the exact same things. 🐍 😆

    1. Thanks, John. Considering this is St. Patrick’s Day week, it seemed like a good smile to share. Hope your Monday has been ‘wagnificent.’

    1. You’re rigbht-it’s definitely safe-worthy. It sure tickled my funny bone. Have a great week!

  4. But certainly Elsa doesn’t want Wilson to steal the show does she? Hopefully she will let you put at least one hat on her. 🙂
    LOL at the comic. I wouldn’t want to drive those snakes either!
    Happy Monday!

  5. I love the ‘toon – poor St. Pat…….yep – he looks a bit like he can’t wait for the first rest stop so he can dump that crowd out on the side of the road and continue on to the nearest pub for a brewski.

    1. When my kids were little and we did road trips, there were certain rules that they learned to never break…I think all of them in that cartoon were on that list! Hahahaha. Happy Monday. ☘️

    1. Thanks, Peachy & Stippie. Here’s to a very good week full of shamrocks and good fortune. ☘️

  6. Bwahahahahahahaha. Like having kids in the backseat. I so remember.

    I linked this post to Awww Mondays as always.

    Have a fabulous day and week, my friend. Scritches to the pups. ♥

    1. Exactly! I can just hear the rabble going on and when my kids were small I owned a MG Midget so the noise could sometimes be deafening. Happy Monday, Sandee and as always I appreciate your adding us to your link.

  7. Good luck with the Ninja. My girls are so food motivated I’m pretty sure they’d let me put a coat of armor draped in multiple layers of cloths for a single biscuit. Have a green week (versus white) at the ranch.

    1. {snicker} I can just see a coat of armour on them! Elsa is not a fan of dress up let alone getting pics taken. Most of the time she trots over to her bed…which she considers a safe place and untouchable by pestering Moms. Happy Monday, Mike. It’ll be lovely today and tomorrow and then a big storm is supposed to roll in Wednesday night. Snow depths could be deep. We’ll see.

    1. Elsa has always been reluctant with dress up. You guys could definitely show her a few tips since you always have the best dress up pics. Happy Monday.

  8. Haha! Poor Elsa 😉
    Hmmm… I don’t get into the whole St. Paddy’s Day thing, to be honest. But since I’ll have a visitor, maybe we’ll make an exception!

    1. It’s silly for sure, but fun. I was actually surprised to learn Denver has one of the biggest St. Patrick’s Day parades in the country. Go figure. ☘️ Enjoy your visitor.

      1. Fun for sure.
        I don’t love parades, to be honest. I just checked and Montreal’s is the 199th. Go figure.
        Maybe we’ll go. I think Marc is like me…

        1. Denver’s is the largest west of the Mississippi but I’m with you. Parades seem like clowns…creepy. And WAAAAAAY too many people anyway (and most of whom are stupid drunk). Better to sit in the back garden with a green beer or other suitable beverage. Give him our regards! ☘️

          1. Yeah. St.Patrick’s especially. Much better to sit in a sunny garden (though the temps for the time he will be here? Not good. Sigh)
            And will do! 🍀

            1. Well, there are ‘other’ things you two can ‘enjoy’ in place of being outdoors. 😉

  9. Tell Elsa she is Grace O’Malley, the Irish pirate queen…you might just get round her with that….

    1. Ha! I tried subterfuge on her once again. She reminded me not to try it ever again…or suffer the consequences. When I told her everyone is Irish this week, she reminded poodles came from Germany, not Ireland. Can’t get anything past that girl! Happy O’Monday.

Feel free to bark your thoughts...but please no growling.
