A Dang Whirlwind

 Smudge here. Yeah, I'm back, and things are starting to calm down some. Dad's been helping the boss's family move across town in preparation for a large renovation project, and dad's kinda sorta maybe a little confident hopeful that his phone won't be ringing off the hook (any of you young 'uns know the origin of that one?) this weekend. So Dad's Day was relaxing in spite of the above. As always, we keep things simple and low-key. Mom and I found the absolutely most perfect card for me to give dad, and he and mom say it's me to a tee, whatever that means. 




They also managed to make it to Princeton, NJ, again for a No Kings protest. They said the crowd was HUGE and peaceful, and they were proud to have participated in it. 




So, what's everyone been up to?

Smudge, does your dad tell his 'boss' that YOU ARE HIS REAL BOSS?
I mean, c'mon now...that card says it all.
So whatever your dad does for that 'boss', it's only because YOU allow him to, amIright?

Smudge, hope you can hold it together and tolerate what may some days be intolerable for another 364 days. Won't be easy, give it your best paw. And what's up with a phone on a hook? Really ...

That Father's Day card was total purrfection, and we know your dad is more than happy to serve you. Congratulate your humans for attending the protest. My mom would like to go to one, but crowds give her the heebie-jeebies. (Now there's an oldie for you ... from the 1920s.)

That's the best Father's Day card from a cat I've ever seen, you should recycle it and give it to him every year.

May everything calm down at work so your servant dad can get some rest and be ready to care for you when you need it.

Smudge, you outdid yourself. You went all out and allowed your sentiment to shine our like the sun.

Well now I think that's the BESTEST Dad's day card I've ever seen! We have to keep our Dads under control and give them plenty of reminders of who is large and in charge in the family. THEM right? We love that Balloon from the No Kings protest your Mom and Dad went to. As I've told my Mom and Dad more than once - there's only ONE KING in our house and that's ME. I might have red hair like SOMEONE ELSE but I am as peace loving as you can get - I fall asleep at the drop of a hat!

Love and Hugs, Teddy
