SATURDAY PHOTO HUNT: GLASS

MOM IS KIND OF TICKLED AT TODAY'S WORD. She has been wanting to show you some things. 

Click here to see the list

GLASS:  

hard, brittle substance; anything made of glass

Mom and Dad have a lot of my other grandma I did not meet, Margie's glassware.  None of it is particularly expensive but

all of it is very beautiful and oh how Grandma Margie 

loved her glassware. Back in the early 20th century there

was a piece of glassware for nearly everything.  

I think one or two of them would make a nice

Diva dish. MOL

This hurricane lamp and these two pieces of

burgundy glassware were also Grandma Margie's

 I was kind of worried the hurricane lamp was going

to fall on me so I decided to sit very still for this 2nd photo op

Sunshine, naps and plates

I thank Wally and Sammy at

Chronicles of Wallace and Samuel 

for giving me this most wonderful Sunshine Award...

You two Scotties are so smart you know how much I love a 

good sun puddle.

 Mom and I say thank you by posing in a sun puddle.

 What a fun and exciting week we had....

My first Judgey Madi court session was very tiring but

as they say anything worth doing is worth doing well

BUT now it is time for a day of napping

 And sun puddle sitting.

THE VERDICT: SARGE vs THE HANDS

HEAR YE HEAR YE BLOGVILLE COURT IS NOW

IN SESSION ALL RISE

THE HONORABLE 

HOT CHICK IN A BLONDE WIG

JUDGE MADI PRESIDING

OH MY WORD THE RESPONSES TO OUR VERY FIRST 

DAY IN COURT WERE ASTOUNDING.

I, MADI, AND SARGE ARE HUMBLED BY YOUR

OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT!!!! 

I WAS ONLY ABLE TO LEAVE A FEW COMMENTS 

(TODAY MY ASSISTANT HAD AN AFTERNOON OF MEETINGS 

REGARDING GRANDMA'S CARE).

 YESTERDAY AFTERNOON I PULLED OUT

MY REFERENCE BOOK AKA THE DIVA BOOK

 I JUMPED FOR JOY WHEN I READ

CHAPTER 5:  

HOW TO GET A FRIEND OUT OF 

THE WRONG HANDS 

I READ UNTIL MY EYES BECAME HEAVY

WHEN I AWOKE I HAD A DRINK

 AND SOME COD, SOLE, SHRIMP FANCY FEAST

(DID YOU KNOW FISH IS BRAIN FOOD)

I REMINDED MYSELF HOW A LONE I FELT THE LAST TIME I WAS CONFINED TO MY JAIL  

I PUT ON MY Superior softness Judgey THINKING hat

SARGE DECIDED HE WOULD 

COME INDOGNITO IN CASE HE HAD 

TO MAKE A RUN FOR HIS FREEDOM

I MEOWED FOR THE BAILIFF

TO CALL THE COURT TO ORDER

*
*
*
*

I LOOKED OUT INTO THE COURT ROOM  TO FIND

THE HANDS 

WAVING AND  CAUSING ALL KINDS OF COMMOTION

I TOLD THEM THE BETTER FIND SOME

POCKETS TO HIDE IN OR THEY WOULD BE IN HELD IN

CONTEMPT OF COURT

FAMILY, FRIENDS, PEERS AND SUPPORTERS OF SARGE WERE EVERYWHERE...QUIETLY HOLDING

FREE SARGE SIGNS.

I DECIDED THE VERDICT WAS AS PLAIN

AS THE PINK NOSE ON MY FACE..AND

THERE WAS NO USE IN DRAWING IT OUT

SO WITHOUT FURTHER HESITATION
I DECLARE

SARGE 

IS

*
*
*
*
*

THE HANDS WHINED LIKE BABIES
 (I ASKED THEM IF THEY WANTED SOME CHEESE WITH THEIR WHINE) 

ALL OF SARGE'S FRIENDS WERE JUMPING FOR

JOY AND SOMEHOW THEY SMASHED THE HANDS

I THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR EXCELLENT TESTIMONY

IN SARGE'S DEFENSE ON THIS DAY 

OF 16 MAY 2013 DECLARE THE TRIAL

OVER AND DONE AND HOPE TO NEVER HEAR FROM 

THE HANDS
AGAIN
SINCERELY 
JUDGEY MADI (D) CAT
WHEW THIS WIG IS HOT 

Court is in Session: Sarge Case 001: Docket 001A

ALL RISE
Here Come da Judge Madi 

JUDGEY WIGGY BY PUDDLES D. RAINWATER

On Friday 10 May 2013 at 06:00 am
Blogville's Top Cop,
SARGE

was accused of a crime and wrongfully stripped of his 
Top Cop Status by his assistant aka The Hands
Please click here to read all about it.
Beclaws you all will be our Jury...

As Mayor of Blogville I immediately sent this reply:

FIRSTLY, WE ARE PLEASED AS PUNCH TO TELL YOU Shelldon, Beachnut and Oceana  aka the Crabby Girls WERE HIDING IN THEIR CRAB--I-TAT WHEN 
THE HANDS 
WERE SUPPOSEDLY INJURED AND PLAYED NO PART IN THIS INJUSTICE.
SECONDLY, ANY AND ALL changes in my mayoral cabinet requires court action...I see/smell a session of the highest court in Blogville coming into session. 

Note to The Hands: all beings are innocent until proven guilty. And you do not have jurisdiction
in  
North Carolina!!!!  
SO SEEK COVER IN SOME DEEP
POCKETS, OH AND PS HANDS
TALK TO THE  PAW THE JUDGE AIN'T LISTENING

Uncle Frankie and I will convene lickety split and advise

Note to Sarge: Do not say another word or make a peep until you have legal representation.

Sincerely submitted,
Judge/Mayor Madi (D) Cat, 

        

          Witness for the Defendant:

To WHOM it may concern

          From: Frankie Mayor Emertius 

 Re:  Sarge Top Cop of Blogville has been framed

ImPawper Work Stoppage and Interference with OUR LIVES and Blogville Bidness.

                (It has been rumored that Sarge's PEEPs are removing him from his Pawsition as Chief of Pawlice. However, THAT was ONLY REPORTED to be teh case.)

Be it known that Sarge, Chief of Blogville Pawlice, has been Accused and SENTENCED without benefit of council or Pawper Trial by his PEERS.     

   Such action is not to be Tolerated.    Not to mention ILL EAGLE.   

 (HIS) Peeps , nor any OTHER peep, hold  ANY authority in Blogville.   

        Some fear that this may be an attempted CREW STATION  overthrow of Blogville's GUM MINT.  This will NOT be Tolerated.   Many believe that a certain group of Crew Stations... might have been under the influence of FURmented Coconut Juice.   Others feel that Said Crew Stations may be getting a bit TOO BIG fur their Shells. 

 Plantiff Rebuttal:  

The Hands here to set the record straight.   No crabby girls were involved in the de-commissioning of Sarge COP.   He done did this to himself all by himself. 

One Hand did not bleed, but was definitely bitten.    Sarge is most definitely and officially DOG-HOUSED until further notice.  Can't be a COP while on such a short leash.  That's a Hands joke!  LOL

The Hands took Sarge's blog and COP job from him.   He'll get the blog back after The Hand stops throbbing, but the COP job is gone for good.   The Blogville PD is most assuredly a NO BITING HANDS zone.  

Poor Shelldon, Beachnut and; Oceana were as stunned as you.  LOL

I, Judge Madi, will present a closing statement:  We ask the citizens of Blogville to examine the charge on Sarge's Blog, Mayor Emertius Frankie's assessment of said Crime by said The Hands. Think long and hard on these questions: Were THE HANDS
in a place they were not suppose to be doing something illegal?  Had The Hands just finished eating bacon strips?  Were The Hands flaying about in conversation...causing Sarge to think they were about to land on his head?  And last but surely not least maybe The hand's nails needed a manicure and Sarge was just trying to help...

Once you have decided please feel free to leave your comments here followed by 

Guilty or Not Guilty.

 Crabsters in Residence were feeling a little Crabby on interview
day but thankfully they agreed to a Photo shot.

...

Hello, Mayor Madi.  First, let me say that it's my honor to continue to serve as Blogville's Chief of Police.   Shelldon, Beachnut and Oceana are all agog to be Blogville's Crabsters in Residence.  They think that's totally cool!  BOL

1. Please introduce yourself(selves), tell us your age and a special trait. 
My name is Sergeant, but most peeps spell it Sargeant, and most peeps and furiends call me Sarge.  BOL.  That's a ton easier!  I am 7 years old.  I am really a mutt with the shape of a German Shepherd, the fur of a Yellow Lab, but I'm smaller than either of those breeds.  Go figure.  Mutt is right!  BOL   My most unique trait is definitely my ink-blot tongue.  It's pink with black splotches like a cow.

2. If you had an alter ego, who would you like to be and why?
 If I could have an alter ego I would totally want to be Honk Kong Phooey, number one super guy!  Honk Kong Phooey, quicker than the human eye!  He's a really fun and cool superhero crime fighter.  For Pip's superhero party, I got to dress up like HKP.  It was a blast.   I have pictures of it and everything!

3.  What do you like best/least about where you live?

What I like bestest about my territory is that I have lots of critters to bash.  What I like least is that I have lots of critters to bash.  BOL   It's fun AND work!  I also love the fact that I have a creek, a river and a lake all nearby.  Great for going swimmie.

4. Who are some peeps/furiendfs you'd like to meet and why?
My Mom keeps shouting "Bon Jovi, Bon Jovi, Bon Jovi".  Now, I don't know what that's all about, but since it obviously isn't BonE Jovi, I'm not interested.  I would really liked to have met Mango in the furs.  He was such a funny and sweet furiend.  I would like to meet Lorenza in the furs.  She's so very pretty and the crabby girls are very interested in talking fashion with her.

5. If you could give one piece of random advice what would it be?
Well, never licking a toad or an icicle comes to mind.  Definitely never jump out of a moving canoe.  That gets everyone all sorts of upset and everyone gets more wet than they intended.

6. What do you do for fun?
 For fun I have my favorite stick and I really love to go swimmie.  The crabby girls have all sorts of projects and adventures like their sandcastles, dinosaur park, speedway, etc.  Those girls are always up to something crazy and fun in their crabitat.

7.  What is the first thing you do each morning?
 LICK MY DAD'S PILLOW!   Usually the minute he closes the bathroom door...it's a mad dash to the bed.  BWAR HAR HAR

8. What is the first thing you notice about a new furiend?
Are they funny?!?

9.  Tell us how you came to live in your family and how you got your name?
My Mom had a much beloved golden retriever, and when he crossed the rainbow bridge, Dad took her to the local shelter to adopt a pooch.  I was the quietest pup in a new litter freshly weened.   They scooped me right up and took me home.  My Dad had just been promoted to Sergeant in the county sheriff's department and they could tell immediately that I had law enforcement potential.  They named me Sarge sorta like when peeps call their son Junior.

10.  What is your absolute favorite food?
I'm crazy about pizza bones!

Bonus:  There have been lots of wild crime stories in Blogville, but one of my favorites was a rotten tree rat who had stolen a pair of tennis shoes.  He thought he was going to get away with it when he ran into the woods at night.   Too bad the shoes were those light-up kind and every step led me right to him!  Oh, BWAR HAR HAR was he ever surprised!

Shelldon, Beachnut and ; Oceana here:  We are all three Caribbean (or purple pincher) Hermit Crabs.  Sarge calling us his crabby girls always makes us giggle.  That's just our species, we rarely get grouchy.  Our lives are full of excitement and variety, so we're pretty happy girls.  Sarge would never want to admit that he has a touchy tummy!  Teeheehee   He gets the pukies really easily and sometimes his tummy gurgles and whistles and squeeks and rumbles.  When this happens, it gets really LOUD.  It actually kinda scares him.   We can hear it clear in the next room!  Teeheehee

Madi here:  Sarge tireless worked to make the mayoral office and  renovated  police station purrfect for me before I became mayor and I thank him!!

Thanks so much, Madi, for doing this interview series!

Grr and Woof,

Sarge, COP

and

Little Pinches,

Shelldon, Beachnut & Oceana
