Hi there, yes it's me, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar! I do understand that you've been waiting and waiting and waiting, to the point of uncontrollable frenzy. Yes, that's correct, you've be dreaming of that alternate challenge to that A to Z thingy. Then again, maybe you got so mired in the alphabet, that everything you see and do now relates to the alphabet. You might need an alphabet detox!
I do realise that I was going to put up this pawsting on May 1. The situation is such that my human, Gary, being so dog-tired, has needed my constant attention. I do worry about my human dad. I was going to pawblish something brand new. Instead, I'm going to cheat because I need to keep looking after Gary. So here goes with a past pawst and then some!
"A" if for "Arf!"
I'm having a laugh
"B" if for "Bark"
Sometimes I snark
"C" is for "Chihuahua"
Hello, how are ya?
"D" is for "Dog"
A pawblished blog
"E" is for "eekPawblishing"
If that's your thing
"F" is for "Feline"
Having a whine
"G" is for "Gary"
How very scary
"H" is for "Howl"
Without a scowl
"I" is for "Insect"
A bug I detect
"J" is for "Jack Russell"
The dogs that hustle
"K" is for "Klahanie"
Pawmoting I see
"L" is for "Loon"
A Canadian tune
"M" is for "Metrosexual"
Such a transport ball
On all things Metro
Didn't you know.
"N" is for "Noodles"
Oodles of noodles
You stick them in water
Just like you ought ta
And what have you got
One silly noodle stuck to the pot
"O" is for "Ogopogo"
Way to go, go, go
Canadian lake creature
Is what we feature
Ogopogo can kick Nessie's rear
Take that, you Loch Ness dear
"P" is for "Poodle"
Which rhymes with noodle
Doggy jumps through hoops
And you scoop its poops
"Q" is for "Query"
Hi pawblisher, deary
"R" is for "Rivet"
Don't you forget
The noise of a frog
Over there on a log
There you go
I toad you so
"S" is for "Sasquatch"
Go have a watch
Don't say, "Big Foot"
Or you might be kaput
"T" is for "Toadstool"
How very cool
No, not that load
Not a stool from a toad
"U" is for "Unread"
Start over, instead
"V" is for "Vacuum"
Instead of a broom
Knowing my luck
My vacuum wont suck
"W" is for "Weird"
Oh, how they cheered
For the Alphabark
That's having a lark
Not lark as in bird
Haven't you heard
"X" is for "Xerox"
Photocopy your cocks
Place your butt on the screen
How very obscene
"Y" is for "Y am I doing this?"
Am I taking the p**s?
Look below
And you will know
"Z" is for "Zest"
My good-natured jest
I did this with Zeal
How do you feel?
The above, a recap
That makes you clap.
Sadly, my friend
We've come to the end
That sums it up
From this lovable pup
Just one last thing
I do bring.
From this lovable pup
Just one last thing
I do bring.
Not quite the end
My human friend
If you did the alphabet
Without regret
Well done to you
This be true
Yes, the A to Zed
Something I dread
Or pawhaps the A to Zee
If you're a Yankee
Seriously though
What do you know
I nearly pawmoted
Duly noted
The alternative to the alphabark
Oh no, it's back to snark!
Here you go
To end the show
A rufflections pawst
From your lovable host!
A perfect post, with a most beautiful rufflection.
ReplyDeleteThank you Penny - and give our best to poor tired Gary.
Hi human, Sue,
DeleteDelighted you liked my pawfect pawst and the rufflection at the end.
My poor, tired human. I think he's starting to get better.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
I thought I was for IWSG - I Was Seeking Gary?
ReplyDeleteNo one does the Alphabark Challenge like you do, Penny.
Hi human, Alex,
DeleteOf course, my amazing human friend, "IWSG" aka "I Was Seeking Gary." My human continues to be delusional...
I'm the only one who did the Alphabark Challenge. Thank you and have a nice rest of your weekend.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,

Well done Penny!!!! I loved it! Perfect pic of you sticking your tongue out at A-Z.
ReplyDeleteHi human, JoJo,
DeleteThanking you, kind human. Aha and arf, you noted me sticking out my tongue at that weird alphabet thingy. I got the alphabet licked.
A good Sunday to you.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
That is a lot of fun to read, Penny. I do hope that Garry will feel better soon and maybe the spring weather will put some spring into his step.
ReplyDeleteHi human, Arleen,
DeleteGlad you liked the read, my pawesome human friend. Indeed and thanks. Here's hoping that spring will spring his spring :)
A lovely rest of the weekend to you.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Outstanding, Penny! Keep up the good work with looking after your human, Gary. See that he gets lots of rest and relaxation!
ReplyDeleteHi human, Debra,
DeleteYou are way too kind, eh. Thank you :) I'm trying to keep him occupied with a bit of rest and relaxation. I just breathe on him and job done!
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Pure pawesomeness,Penny :-) Carry on looking after your human, give him lots of cuddles xx
ReplyDeleteHi human, Teresa,
DeletePaw and thanks. I shall give him lots of cuddles. Of course, wherever he sits down, becomes my place to sit down.
Hope you get some sunshine on Sunday! :)

You may have just given some scary humans an erotic idea with Xerox.
ReplyDeleteHi Pat in the Hatt,
DeleteXerox? Do you copy. A copy cat, how about that...
Thank you, my sometimes human friend.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Wonderful post Gary of should I say Penny.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Hi human, Yvonne,
DeleteI thank you. Of course, you are correct, I'm Penny the pawblishing pooch.
Hope you have a lovely Sunday, my kind human friend.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Quite frankly, I'm pawfectly happy that you crammed all the A-Z into one post rather than stretch it out over a whole month. Well done. Give that dog a bone.
ReplyDeleteHi human Pickle,
DeleteI pawfectly delighted that you liked my cramming the alphabark into one pawst. Why stretch when you can scratch... Give that pickle a dill...
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Doggy jumps through hoops
ReplyDeleteAnd you scoop its poops
I’d rather not if you don’t mind too much.
That is one situation where I refuse to go Dutch.
Loving your Alphabark Challenge, Penny.
My little rhyme is rubbish I know, but I couldn’t resist giving it a go. (Sorry, I’m leaving now!)
Please give my love to Gary and accept this great big hug from me to you. xxx
Hi human, Barbara,
DeleteNo scoop the poop for you.
The Alphabark was having a lark, or some sort of birdbrain idea.
Your rhyme
Was fine
Give it time
Minus poop slime.
I shall paws on your love to my human, Gary. And a doggy hug to you, my kind, caring human friend. xxx :)
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
And a beautiful rufflection it is too, Penny dear.
ReplyDeletePlease say hello to your human dad, Gary and send him my best wishes.
Hi human, Suzanne,
DeleteAh yes, a rufflection or two, from me to you. Thank you, dear human.
I shall say hello to my human dad for you. Best wishes and a hopefully sunny Sunday to you.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Oodles of noodles and poodles! LOL Loved it, Gary.
ReplyDeleteHi human, Diane,
DeleteIt's raining cats and dogs. Watch out for the poodles and maybe some noodles to pasta the time away.
Thank you, my wonderful human friend.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
that's an epic poem indeed.
ReplyDeleteHi human, Pat,
DeleteAn epic pawem, indeed.
Have a pawesome Sunday, good human.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,

You covered so many of your characteristics,Penny. Like Pickelope, reading the entire A - Z is one go is perfect.
ReplyDeleteHi human, Susan,
DeleteArf yes, a covering of my canine characteristics. Glad you agree with the human Pickle and never fickle but maybe a tickle. The A to Z, all at once, pawfection, pawhaps!
Pawsitive wishes, your way,

Hi human, Kim,

Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Now why couldn't we do the A to Z thingy in one post like that. Way to go Penny as Medeia said, two paws up.
ReplyDeleteHi human, Jo,
DeleteThe A to Z show, all in one go. Thank you and thanks to Medeia as you both give me the two paws up.
A lovely Sunday to you, my delightful human friend.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Hi Gary and Penny - what a great addition to the Alphabark Challenge that so many do .. I do hope you can both enjoy the better weather and get out and about a little more easily and that life improves ... so good to see Penny is taking care of you ...
ReplyDeleteAll the best - cheers Hilary
Hi human, Hilary,
DeleteThe Alphabark Challenge is the way forward, according to me. The weather has been very nice on Saturday. However, it's forecast to get real cold for Sunday. Hope you manage to get some sunny, warm weather.
I'm really trying hard to look after my poor human, Gary.
Thank you, my remarkable human friend.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Miss Penny you're doing a grand job looking after your hoooman Dad Gary. A grand poem too, good girl.
ReplyDeleteHi human, Eileen,
DeleteThanks and a grand job I shall continue to do. Glad you liked my pawem. You are a good human! :)
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Sorry to hear Gary's still not feeling well. I hope he gets better soon. I loved the A-Z pawsting, especially "EekPawblishing"! All were clever and funny. Thanks for the laughs!
ReplyDeleteHi human, Lexa,
DeleteThank you for your well wishes for my human, Gary. I think he's showing signs of getting better :) Eek and that's a pawesome response from you. I'm glad this could make you laugh, my nice human friend.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
This is brilliant, Penny! You are a pawfect hoot and very clever to think of even the difficult letters. I am not sure I understood everything, though, I have never quite figured out what a Loon is but maybe I need to talk to more Canadians! I am sorry that Gary is still not well and I hope he gets better soon.
ReplyDeleteHi human, Jenny,
DeleteThanks for noting my brilliance! :) A Loon is a Canadian one dollar coin. Also called a "Loonie." Speaking of Canadians, eh, the lovely lady who commented below you is Canadian, but not exactly a Loonie...
Thanks and I think Gary is starting to get better :)
Have a wonderful Sunday, my human friend.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Penny, you aren't Penny the Jack Russell dog and internet superstar for nuttin! Outstanding performance!
ReplyDeleteHi human, Joylene,

Great pawst Penny, even if it is a repeat, and I love the photo of you sticking your tongue out at the A-Z :)
ReplyDeleteHugs to you and Gary
Hi human, Eunice,
DeleteThanks for thinking my pawst is great. Yes, a repeat with a few added words. I rather enjoyed sticking my tongue out at that dreaded A to Z! :)
Happy camping, my amazing human friend.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Love it!
ReplyDeleteKeep taking great care of Gary, Penny! We're all very fond of you both!!! :)
Hi human, Jemi,

I shall continue to take great care of my human dad, Gary. We're both fond of you, my super Canadian human friend.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,

Penny you're adorable and Gary is great!
ReplyDeleteHi human, Shelly,
DeleteThank you. You're an adorable human. Gary is great but don't tell him I said that.
You take care, my human friend, I know you're going through some really emotional times.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Hey, Penny! (waving from Canada...can you see me? :)
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable. Take good care of your human, eh? But I'm guessing you already do that.
Hi human, Martha,
DeleteYep, I can see you from all the way across the swamp. I see a flag with a red maple leaf on it, eh!
And you are equally adorable. Your Paw Minister, Justin, is adorable. Canada is adorable, eh. I'm taking real good care of my human, Gary.
Have a good one, eh!
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
This was the BEST of all of them I have seen! (OF COURSE!!!) catchatwithcarenandcody
ReplyDeleteHi human, Caren,
DeleteThank you so much. Yes, the BESTEST of them all! :)
Have a pawfect Sunday, lovely human.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,

With A to Z out of the way it's back to normalcy. What the heck is normalcy anyway? Take care, have soup and plenty of liquids, and get as much rest as you can.
ReplyDeleteArlee Bird
A to Z Challenge Co-host
Tossing It Out
Hi human, Arlee,
DeleteAha, thus you concede that any form of normalcy goes for a walk during the A to Z thingy! Pawfect! Normalcy is another word for average.
I'm assuming you mean alphabet soup, or come join by side and have some Alphabark soup! :)
Well done and now for the A to Z to be confined to the history books.
Have a great rest of your weekend, my esteemed human friend with the funny hat and shades.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
A great reflections post, Penny. Please keeping taking great care of Gary. Let him know how much we care for him and that I think of him often and my heart goes out to him. Lots of virtual hugs headed his way along with healing vibes. Hang in there, Gary! You got this!!
ReplyDeleteHi human, Elsie,
DeleteNothing like a bit of rufflection! :) I shall most assuredly continue to keep taking great care of my human dad, Gary. Thank you for such kind, thoughtful words. They mean an awful lot. Your healing vibes are gratefully received by Gary.
Be well, my most excellent human friend.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Hey Penny, nice to see you again! Glad to hear Gary has such a great friend to care for him. The A to Z was a test and I like the presentation done in one post reflections or otherwise.
ReplyDeleteTake care you two, sending hugs and kisses, lots of both!
Hi human, Yolanda,
DeleteEqually nice to see you, lovely human, Yolanda! :) I shall faithfully continue to take care of my poor, tired human. The A to Z was a test that needs a rest. Pawsentation and rufflection, all in one go, what do you know :)
Hugs and kisses, back to you, human, Yolanda!
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Great thoughts, warm greetings and best wishes!
ReplyDeleteHi human, Blogoratti,

Pawsitive wishes, your way,

Penny- I love your spin on the A-Z. :) So clever (of course). Take good care of your human dad- Gary is awesome and it sounds like he needs some TLC. Hugs to both of you!

Hi human, Jess,

Have a wonderful Sunday, human, Jess.

And so in a single bound . . .Look it's a plane! No it's the Caped Crusader! No it's the Alpha Bark Dog! At last the sanest and bestest AtoZ post ever. Thank you, Penny. And hi to Whathisname.
ReplyDeleteHi human, Lee,
DeleteArf and yep, in a single bound, I'm bound to be on my favourite place to sit. Of course, my favourite place to sit is anywhere my human Whathisname chooses to sit.
You note how easy the Alphabark can be. Why hijack the blogging world for a month plus the other eleven months on rufflection pawsts when you get it done in one go. Done in one go does refer to my pawst, in case you were wondering, my superstar human author buddy.
Thank you.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Sorry to hear Gary is exhausted. Hope he feels better soon. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Misha,
DeleteNo worries, my lovely human friend. I'm sure he'll be right as ruff, fairly soon, um, right a rain, fairly soon. Thank you for your supportive words. Happy touring, human, Misha.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Penny thanks for visiting my blog! I'm not sure how I missed this post. Now we know why you are an internet superstar, you deserve a special treat. Hopefully, your human friend Gary will give you one. Now give him a doggie kiss and make him feel better.
ReplyDeletePawsitive wishes I'm sending your way!
Hey human, Truedessa,
DeleteNo worries. Always interesting to check out your pawetry, um, poetry. Of course, I'm the ever so modest internet superstar! I think, in this case, I should give my human, Gary, a doggy biscuit. As for a doggy kiss, I'll just breathe on him. He just loves that! Arf!
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
This is delightful, insightful, and all things not spiteful.
ReplyDeleteYou're the best, unlike the rest, and I give you an A+ on the Alpha-bark fest.
xo
Hi human, Robyn,
DeleteThanks for the prose
Don't you knows
The Alphabark
I hear you hark
No bite or bark
Just a bit of snark
The best fest
I don't jest.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Green Eggs and Hamlet indeed, thank you so much for making me laugh! Thanks also for your visit I really appreciate it. Big sloppy doggy kisses to you both!
ReplyDeleteHi human, Barbara,
DeleteAh yes, a bit of Dr.Seuss and a bit of Willie, as in William Shakespeare! Glad you liked that and always a pleasure to visit your wondrous blog.
We are savouring the sloppy, doggy kisses! :)
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
The annual after-bark, alfa-bark. Love it. This is the way I'd like to handle the A to Z Challenge. =)
ReplyDeleteHi human, Crystal,
DeleteThe annual after-bark with out the after-taste. Thanks and I think that other weird challenge regarding the alphabet, should take notes. Arf!
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Hello Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar! I hope that you are Gary are having a wonderful Sunday morning. S is for Sasquatch. I really want to believe that it exists...I am hoping that someday we will see a breaking news story about its discovery :)
ReplyDeleteHello human, Keith,
DeleteWe are now having a wonderful Wednesday morning, my fine, philosophical human friend. The mighty Sasquatch does exist and frequents the beer parlours of Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
F is for Fiona
ReplyDeleteLove the C
and of course the rufflection from Penny. So cute.
Hi human, Eve,
DeleteE is for Eve! Yes, of course, you love the C!
Time to go rufflect a bit more. Thank you, lovely human, Eve.
Pawsitive wishes, your way,
Penny!
Sorry to hear Gary isn't feeling well. As you know, Penny, he'll be on my blog for an interview tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this. I chuckled a few times. :)
Hi human, Chrys,
DeleteThank you, my amazing human friend. I shall continue to look after him. Ah yes, he's grimacing over what the reaction might be to his interview. We reckon there may well be a few pawdictable comments, such as, "I'm not like that! I join blog hops to demonstrate how much I care!"
Glad you enjoyed my good-natured, satirical take on the whole darned alphabet weirdness :)
Pawsitive wishes and take care,
Penny!
I did not pawticipate in the Alpha-bark challenge. Too overwhelming. I read some books, wrote some reviews, and played loads of video games. Too much going on to spend that much time on the computer.
ReplyDeleteLoved the poem Dears. Have a great weekend.
Hi human, Donna,
DeletePawticipation in that A to Z is way too much. It does overwhelm and that just isn't right. You had loads of pawsitive distractions and that's a pawesome result, my kind human friend.
Glad you loved the pawem.
A peaceful, pawsitive long weekend to you!
Penny!
What a cute alternative to the A to Z challenge. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Danielle,
DeleteIt's me, Penny's mere human :) Penny is over at her human brother's home. Thus, I know she will agree that this is a cute replacement, um, alternative to that alphabet thingy!!
Thank you, Danielle.
Gary :)
I haven't did the challenge for a couple of years but always love your Alphabark. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Gossip_Grl,
DeletePenny is having a well-earned rest. She's kindly allowed me to comment on her behalf. Oh yes, that challenge :) I'm delighted you like Penny's Alphabark alternative.
Gary :)
