Guest Cat Selfie Sunday by Xena

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia25 Comments

Happy Sunday, friends. Today, I, Xena, have been persuaded to let someone in our neighborhood do the selfie today. The cat next door came over and said, “Hey, I hear this is Selfie Sunday, and no one in my house has a blog. A little help, here?” So, cause I like the kids that live there, I said, “OK,” adding, “Just this once.” Uh, he told me his name, but I don’t remember it. I do know a few things about him, though.

  1. He’s very friendly.
  2. He comes over a lot to get petted.
  3. He used to be a farm cat.
  4. He often shows up when someone brings their dog to be groomed. Then, Mommy has to go outside and hold onto him when they drive away so he doesn’t get run over.

Here’s his picture. Maybe since I did this for him, he won’t hurt me if I get close to him…

Xena on Selfie Sunday

Thanks to The Cat on my Head for hosting Sunday Selfies!

Me and Mommy were in the car on the way home from work. We were parked outside the allergy shot office waiting on Daddy after he got his allergy shot. They make him stay there for 30 minutes to make sure he doesn’t have something called a “bad reaction.” Oh, and Mommy and Daddy ride in to work together twice a week. His work place is on the way to our work place. That’s why he was with us. OK, here’s my selfie.

I’m hoping to see the Easter bunny in a coupla weeks and get lots of non-chocolate goodies! I thought maybe if I did an Easter-themed selfie it would make the bunny come a little sooner. Lots of love to everyone and tail wags. (See, Mommy, what a good girl I am?)

Oh no! *yawn* I wanted to do a selfie today but I fell back to sleep after breakfast. Now Mommy’s busy getting ready for work. Guess I’ll have to do it myself! *yawn* It can’t be that hard…

Oops, a little too close. I’ll try again.

That’s better, but still not right. Do you like my “help me get home” tag. I hope I never have to use it. OK, I’m gonna try again.

Hmmm. This one’s blurry and I’m too far away. And I’m looking the wrong way, too. Grrrr.

I give up. I’ll have to wait for Mommy.

Chia: Whatcha waitin’ for Mom for, Xena? She just left for work.

Lucy’s Selfie Sunday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia21 Comments

Hi folks. It’s a lazy kinda day. Miss Jentry and Andrew are here, Chia’s with them, and Xena’s napping.

Even Larry Lemur and the squid (I forget it’s name) are napping together. It’s a bit cooler today, and I can hear the wind blowing, so I’m waiting to see if someone is going to start a fire in the fireplace. Then I’ll just curl up and warm my toes while I nap. I think I’ll do that even if there isn’t a warming fire. The Super Bowl is tonight, and I can already smell the yummy snacks Mom and Miss Jentry are fixing. I sure hope I get some of them! May your team win!!

Lucy’s Selfie Sunday

Thanks to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday selfies.

Just two more days and it’s my 9th birthday. I was laying in bed this morning after breakfast (which was an hour late but I didn’t complain) thinking about being 8.

It was a pretty good year. I got to go to the church a lot. And ate good food. And had my sisters here. But we lost Riley, and he and I were good friends. So that’s a sad thing. But he needed to go, I know. And I know I always seem to be self-confident when I write my blog. Just like I do when I see people other than my family.

But the truth is, I’m still scared of a lot of stuff, like if someone lifts their hand up like they might be going to hit me. No one ever hits me, or even almost hits me. It’s just from my first year before I got my furever Mom and Dad. Now I know I’m safe and loved. In fact, everyone seems to love me, so I should feel better about myself. Hey, maybe that’s why Mom named me “Lucy.” There’s a TV show – or so I’ve been told – called “I love Lucy.” Thanks, Mom. I love you and Dad too, and also Xena and Chia and all my friends in the neighborhood and at work, and all my blogging friends, too. So come visit me anytime you want, and I’ll always make you feel welcome.

Your good friend, Lucy the birthday month girl.

Lucy’s Birthday Month

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia26 Comments

Thanks to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday selfies.

Hi friends! My birthday is just one day before my Dad’s birthday.
Chia: Does that mean you’re a year older than him? Or just a day older?
Lucy: Mmmm, no, it doesn’t work that way. You have to factor in years and divide by a number and then add so many days.
Chia: Oh. Never mind. Are you gonna get something good? Are you gonna be so excited you’ll go outa your mind?
Lucy: Hmmm, no, it only works that way with you. But maybe I’ll get something good. I’ve been a very good girl all year. Mom says my picture is even in the dictionary, right next to the word “compliant.” Not sure what that means, but I always try to do what I’m supposed to do.

I just got my early birthday bath. I didn’t think I needed one. Mom took this picture to “prove” that I did. By the way, that’s Chia’s Edward the Duck laying by my feet. Don’t worry, I won’t hurt him.

Someone else in the house said I smelled bad, too. I was just trying to be there for him, ya know? Oh well, it was bath time. And I did a first for me. Always, always, always, when Mom said, “Get in the tub, Lucy.” I jumped in the tub (compliant). But this time I said, “I don’t want a bath.” We went back and forth like that several times, and I held to my stance. Except when Mom reached down to pick me up. When she did that, I dropped to the floor. Then, you won’t believe what happened! Mom was just standing there not looking at me and I was just standing there in silent protest and I thought, “Great, no bath,” when she reached down real fast and picked me up and put me in the tub. Aghh! At least she didn’t try to take my picture while I was getting showered.

A while later when I was all dry we all got to go out in the dog lot to do our “business.” Now I can see that I did need a bath to let my Hebrew name, Ora, shine through. Ora means light or brightness. Can you see all the bright light shining off me?

I hope I stay clean until my birthday on January 14. I hope someone scratches my tummy all day. That’s my favorite thing. Oh, and for a birthday present, Xena said I can make as many posts on “her” blog as I want all month long. So get ready, ’cause I’m gonna be at the computer a lot (as long as Mom doesn’t mind helping me). Oh, and this is my selfie today, as Ora!

Your waggly, birthday month girlfriend, Lucy.

Sunday Selfie

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia27 Comments

Xena: Thanks to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday selfies. Since Sawyer asked so nicely for everyone to join in, we took a vote and…

Chia: We did NOT vote. Why do you always have to say that?

Xena: Lucy and I voted without you. Anyhoo, as I was saying, we decided to give this Sunday to our dear Riley, who crossed the Bridge last Wednesday. We also want to thank Miss Ann from Zoolatry for making the picture even prettier.

We love you, Riley!

Xena’s Selfie with Lucy

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia27 Comments

Hi friends! It got cold here this past week, and Mommy would wake up with me shivering against her in the bed. Of course, that was only when I insisted in sleeping in my own bed, then would get cold and get in bed with Mommy. She always reminds me that if I started in bed with her that we would be cuddling under the covers and I wouldn’t get cold. But I’m a schnauzer. I want to do it my way.

So Mommy’s solution so that I could do it my way was to put my winter jammies on me. She made these just for me! They have sock monkeys on them, BOL!

Uh, Lucy, are you photo bombing me?

Lucy: Sorry Xe. You know I don’t like my picture taken. I was just walking through and got caught on camera.

Xena: OK, I forgive you. Hope everyone has a great Sunday, and thanks to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday selfies!

Lucy’s Not-so good Selfie Sunday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia13 Comments

Thanks to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday selfies. But I wish it wasn’t my selfie.

Yep, this is my stupid selfie. I’m wearing ghost lights, and I think the spirits of the ghosts are hovering around me. It’s all very Halloweenish. And if that wasn’t enough Chia photo-bombed me.

This was at 7:00 in the morning for our early morning walk. I was supposed to be lighting the way. Why couldn’t Mom just wear her flashy sash with the lights she turns on in the dark so we don’t get run over by any cars. (There’s no sidewalks on our street.)

The day just continued to get worse. Around noon, Mom took all three of us to the Greenway, which is a great big space about 15 minutes from our house. It has lots and lots of trails as well as open spaces and even two dog parks. But they require us dogs to stay on our leashes if we’re not in the dog park. We walked for almost an hour before Mom realized that it was a dead end without so much as a side trail to take as a shortcut back. The whole way there and back Chia kept pulling hard on her leash. Mom kept correcting her, and that scared me. So I started hanging back and Mom had to pull on my leash just to keep me walking. In other words, Chia was pulling her forward and I was pulling her backward, and then Xena got tired and was panting and wanted carried. Finally, Mom dropped my leash and told me just to walk with her. I didn’t. I sat down and let everyone else keep going. Mom was almost out of sight when she yelled back, “Goodbye, Lucy.” Oh no! She was really going to leave me! I got up and trotted to try to catch up, then changed my mind and stopped again. Mom finally came back and got me. Whew. I was so confused! She said she’s never taking all of us at the same time again. Never. Not ever. Not unless someone else is with her to help.

When we got home I went to hide in the bedroom closet.

Mom found me. But she let me stay there as long as I wanted. I didn’t stay too long. It was close to supper time.

That was Friday. Today is better. Happy Sunday, everyone. *wags* Lucy

Me and Mommy on Sunday Selfie

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia26 Comments

Hi friends, this is Xena back again today. Almost seems like I’ve reclaimed my blog that was willed to me by Angel Lexi.

Chia: You weren’t even alive when Lexi became an Angel. How in the Sam Hill (see I didn’t use any bad words) could she have willed anything, let alone her blog, to you?
Xena: Her will distinctly states that this blog shall be owned and run by each successive schnauzer in this household. I was next!
Chia: Hmphh!

Xena: Now, if that’s settled, let’s get on with Selfie Sunday. This is an old picture, maybe 5 or 6 years ago, that was taken on October 5 at our Greenway park. Please excuse my messy beard. I’d been digging around in the dirt hunting for critters.

The question is, is it Mommy’s selfie or my selfie? I’ll let you decide.

Xena’s Shared Sunday Selfie

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia17 Comments

Thanks to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday selfies!

This morning, before it got hot, me and Mommy and Miss Jentry (Andrew’s girlfriend) and my sisters all went on a long walk on the trails at a place not far from where we live. The place is called the Greenway. It must have at least 87 miles of trails and 2 dog parks. We ‘splored a coupla “off the main track trails.” One of them dead-ended at a tiny, make-shift beach facing North Chickamauga Creek. Here’s the picture Mommy took of us.

In this picture you can see how blue the sky is and the trees reflecting green on the creek. Do you see our shadows?
To the left is the small area where you can actually walk into the water if you want to (we didn’t want to). Everywhere else is a drop-off.

This is the same picture, but a close-up so that it could be my Sunday Selfie. I told my sisters to look away, cause it’s my selfie.

I have to go eat my supper now, so wishing y’all a good Sunday!

Xena’s Sunday Selfie Aventure

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia15 Comments

Thanks to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday selfies, and congrats to them on their year #10 of blogging!

We’ve had a very hot and dry summer, and Mommy kept telling the grass cutter guy, “Nope, it doesn’t need cut yet,” every week. Then it started to rain. And the temperatures dropped about 10 degrees. And everyone’s grass started to grow…fast! In fact, too fast for our grass cutter guy to keep up with.

Here’s my selfie, in our front yard!

Guess it’s not really that long. I can still see, kinda. Hey I wonder if there’s any critters in here to chase.

Lucy: Xena! Where are you? I can’t find you!

The grass cutter guy’s supposed to come tomorrow. Maybe someone will find me and Lucy before that.

A little later….

Chia: There they are! Hey, Xena! Can I have your supper?

To be continued….

Chia’s Regal SundaySelfie

First off, I want to woof a big thanks to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday Selfies!

I decided to break my stereotype. Here I am in a regal pose!

OK, that’s enough.

Y’all have a good Sunday. I’m going to go bother my friend Jentry now. I know she’s here somewhere.

Xena’s Screenshot Sunday Selfie

Does your Mom carry a picture of you everywhere she goes? My Mommy does!

Look at the fancy decorations on my picture. She needs to get that stuff off my face though. And Swipe to open? Oh! That must mean like when someone swipes the food off the counter and it makes me open my mouth to catch it. I think that might happen a lot today since it’s Super Bowl Sunday and the only day the folks eat tons of yummies in the living room. Hope your team wins!!

Happy Sunday, everyone, and thanks to The Cat on My Head, for hosting Sunday Selfies!
