My Human Dad Is Pawplexing.

Hi there, yes it's me, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar!  I notice it's a New Year.  I looked at the cat calendar we got.  Above the photo of some silly cat was the name of the month and year. January, 2014.  A couple of our human friends thought it would be real amusing to send us a cat calendar.  I can hardly wait to tell them what I thought of the cat calendar!

The number of times I've told my human dad, Gary, to be clearer when he puts up a pawsting, or posting. He wasn't very clear where I'll be living when he hopefully moves to a new place in May.  I'll be living with my human brother, Gary's son, Tristan, wherever he ends up moving to.  I will go and visit Gary in his eventual new home.  I need to keep showing him how to write better.  It's a slow process.

Twice in the last six years, we've had really nasty neighbours.  The ones that moved in about a year ago would deliberately start banging doors and thumping the ceiling.  They really made me nervous.  I started trembling a lot.  I was very proud of Gary and Tristan when the bullies below us got confronted.  Now I can sleep again without those horrible noises that made me so scared.

I know Gary has to move.  The garden he created has become too much.  By the time he'd get one part fixed, another part of the garden would need tending again.  The dude just can't cope with it and he receives no help.  So, I'm looking forward to him moving to a more manageable set up.  A place with a big balcony to make a garden.  I know the wee folks will make it magical.
Can you believe that I got an email in the past that doubted I write my own material.  Once again, the above photo is overwhelming proof that I do all my own pawblishing.
Above are a couple of photos from last spring as I was protecting the wee folks in our magical, enchanted garden..

My deluded human dad has noted that the latest "IWSG" aka "I Was Seeking Gary", is happening. Which means, his ego is off on another fantasy trip. I guess it's best to humour him. Although, "I Was Seeking Gary", is a convenient way for those involved to actually remember the order the letters go in.

The real group puts up a pawsting, or posting, on the first Wednesday of each month.  I see our blog list is being bombarded with those who are involved.  If you want to check out the real group, the info can be found here, Alex J. Cavanaugh: The Insecure Writer's Support Group  

 Here's to a peaceful, pawsitive 2014.  Must do something with that cat calendar....

      Hi Samantha,

      Awe thanks for that. Sometimes, I deliberately take off when my human is about to take my photo.

      "I Was Seeking Gary." Such a wonderful way to remember the correct order.

      A peaceful 2014 to you, Samantha.

    There are always the doubting Thomases. Hold your head and tail high and pay no attention at all. Your prose is unique and pawsitivly stirring, so we are sure of its authorship. As to the move. . . Yes. I see that as a necessity. Tending some pots of Aspidistras is manageable and I've heard wee folk are particularly fond of those. Here's to a safe haven for you and that human of yours. Oh and draw mustaches on those cats when he's not looking.

      Hi Lee,

      Those who would doubt just don't get the magic that I share with humans and other animals, alike. I'm the pawsitive pawblisher pawfecting pawetry, pawhaps.

      Time to move on. If he had a gardening show come in and help him, he might be able to stay. Just too much work trying to keep up with the huge demands of a huge garden. I've heard that the wee folks also like a beanstalk.

      Thanks for the safe haven wishes. Cats with moustaches. Excellent idea. Then I shall chew up the calendar.

    HI, Penny, Hi, Gary!

    LOVE your magical garden. Too bad it's a strength for your Gary to keep up. Moving will bring a new peace and you will have that magical balcony!

    All the best to the two of you for 2014. I should be a very productive and exciting year. We must keep positive and roll with the punches when they come. Never shall we hide behind our computers...

    LIFE is for the LIVING. It's a beautiful world we live in despite our obstacles and those who wish to destroy it. We will keep positive and BANISH as much negativity as needed.

    Great pics and hugs to you both!

      Hi Michael,

      I'm so pleased you like the magical garden. My poor human finds it's enormous upkeep. If he had somebody to help him, it would be just fine. Moving with bring a new peace, a new hope and adventure.

      And through the wonder of beyond the computer screen, we share an open transparency as we learn from each other.

      When you stop learning, you stop living. You embrace the ideals of not letting negativity sabotage your right to a peaceful life. Positivity breeds positivity. My human friend, you do that well. Thank you.

      Doggy hugs to you, Michael,

    Not write your own pawststings, what on earth are they thinking? You know, Penny some folks just don't know real talent when they read it! As long as your human takes the wee folk with him I'm sure his new balcony will be just as magical as the garden now. And you'll be able to go visit, maybe even stay for the odd holiday? It'll be fun like having two houses.

    I am sorry you don't appreciate your cat calender. I do find this hard as I am a cat servant here and we have to have one of those in our kitchen too! Although Tilly (our feline) does think the ones where the cat is made to dress up in silly clothes rather degrading, she would never been seen wearing a hat!

      I'm still in disbelief that somebody would question me about doing my own pawstings. I like to think my talent will inspire my human to write better. The wee folks will be magical on a magical balcony. I might just stay for an extended holiday whenever Tristan goes away on holiday. Yes, I will have two places to call my own.

      Cat calendars are everywhere! You must take control back over from Tilly. Actually, maybe you could find a suitable hat for her. Take photos of Tilly and have a special calendar made of her.

    Of course you write your own material! Who would doubt you on that? Pawsitively wonderful of you to do so, too. Gives your human a break. So many people run around each month, yelling "I Was Seeking Gary." It must be a strain to be so popular. I must admit, I use it myself as a way to get the letters in order.

    Everyone knows that cats can't write anything worthwhile, they just do calendars and videos. Dogs are the brains in the animal world ( except for Labs who also like to do calendars and videos, usually of themselves chasing their tails), with the smaller ones being the most cerebral. Your posts are always so informative and we hope that when Gary moves, he will continue to have you do guest appearances.

      Hi Arleen,

      Are yes, cats, totally overrated and useless at writing. Their calendars and videos making me want to barf. Ah, my friends, the Labrador dogs. They are only acting like that to make cats feel better about themselves. Thank you for your nice words, Arleen. When Gary moves, be assured, I will still do guest pawstings :)

      Hi River,

      Thank you and nice to chat with you, my human friend. It's going to be a good move. The garden takes up too much time and the poor guy has to do it by himself. He will be sad to leave the garden and so will I. I'm confident he will get wonderful neighbours when he moves. It's a community living place and would do him good. I shall enjoy visiting him and do some pawstings.

      We managed to get the nasty neighbours under control. They are just bullies who try to intimidate. They are just very insecure humans who like to find easy targets. They got a big surprise from my humans. Gary feels it's time to move anyway. He wouldn't of even known about the new place if he hadn't made an unofficial complaint to his housing association. So, those silly neighbours kinda' did him a favour.

    A cat calendar? That is blasphemy. It MUST GO!!!

    Frankly, I don't know what Gary will do when you go to live with Tristan and he has to write all of his own posts. He will be pawplexed without a doubt. Maybe when you visit you could log on and write a little something to keep him focused. I am sure that he would appreciate your help.

    A garden balcony sounds delightful and much more manageable. I hope that works out for Gary. The wee folk would love it.

    Lastly, loud and disrespectful neighbors are horrible for dogs and people. I am sorry that they frightened you so. I hope your next address is filled with quiet and thoughtful people all around.

      Whenever Gary is struggling with his pawsts, which is just about always, he can phone me and I shall be at his new place taking over, once again. He is pawplexed at the best of times.

      A garden balcony would be so much easier on Gary. It will also provide a safe haven for the wee folks away from the foxes and those darn wandering cats.

      Nasty neighbours do indeed impact on animals and humans. Gary had worked so hard to make this a peaceful neighbourhood and with much success. To have more nasty neighbours move in was outrageous. They have been set straight. Thank you for you kind comment. A peaceful environment is on its way.

      I shall pass on your kind wishes to my human, Gary. I know he is excited about a change. The place he is hopefully moving to was originally supposed to be ready in March. May sounds better, though. Thank you, dear human.

      Pawsitive wishes,

      Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar!

    I can't imagine a Gary without a Penny, but understand Tristan needs you too. Maybe Gary could get a cat to keep him company while you are away...one like in the pin up calendar you got for the year?

      Hi Elizabeth,

      I shall still go and visit Gary. Keep him on his writing toes. Yes, he writes with his toes :) Gary would rather a house full of iguanas than a cat! The dude is so delusional he is going to have a calendar featuring himself.

      Pawsitive wishes,

      Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar!

    As you know, Penny, I love my cats, so I think a cat calendar is a marvellous thing and besides, I show my cats your photo often, and every single time they swoon. Really. I am glad you will soon be with Tristen, but I'm sad that Gary will only see you on visiting days. He will miss you, I think, very very much. I will do better at reading his posts on time. More friends the better, eh. Love you, Penny. When I come to England next year, or maybe even next winter, I will try very hard to stop in and say hi.

      Hi Joylene,

      Penny is having a well deserved nap. She has, however, told me what to type in response. Penny has informed me that having a cat calendar in the house reminds her too much of her millions, if not billions of adoring cat fans. Although, she is very flattered that your cats swoon over her photo. She knows, that just like you, your cats are celebrities. Penny has stated that she is excited about living in a new place with Tristan. She knows she can come and visit me as often as she likes.

      Please have a peaceful time in Mexico. Hope you are feeling much better. If you can make it to visit, you would be a most welcome guest.

      Penny's alleged human,

      Gary

    I know Gary will miss having you around all the time, Penny- so I am glad you will be visiting him and helping him with his writing. :) Those neighbors sound scary! Glad they have been taken care of and aren't making you shake anymore. Love the garden. Good thing the wee folk have you to protect them. :)
