Hi Guy! It’s me, Marvelous. Yes, the Marv. The striped Canadian menace who lives about a football field north of the US border. (Honestly, if Nutmeg sneezes too hard, she might accidentally blow us into Washington State.)
First off—HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
Today, may your BBQs be juicy, your fireworks be loud, and your cats be brave enough not to hide under the bed.
We are not! On Canada Day, Kozmo claimed h was “just checking the structural integrity of the dust bunnies.” Jo Jo said she was “monitoring vibrations.”
Before I forget, thank you—ALL of you—for the Canada Day wishes!
We felt so loved, celebrated, and mildly judged for our maple syrup consumption. I personally had a great Canada Day: I napped, I yelled at a squirrel, and I knocked Mom's laptop off the table just to assert dominance. 🇨🇦
Nutmeg celebrated by barking at absolutely nothing for 20 minutes.
Alex celebrated by trying to keep us from stealing his snacks.
Mom celebrated by pretending she’s in charge. We let her believe it. It’s polite.
Anyway, on this fine Fourth of July, I want you all to know that even though we’re technically “international,” we are neighbors who share weather, wildlife, and the occasional confused tourist who thinks our village is a scenic rest stop. So from me, Kozmo, Jo Jo, Nutmeg, Alex, and Mom—
Have a marvelous Independence Day!
Eat something grilled, enjoy the fireworks, and remember:
Oh yes...If you need a cat to supervise your celebrations, I’m only a football field away.
Thank you and it sounds like you had a wonderful Canada Day! We are hoping that the fireworks don't last all night long and just today - not for the entire summer!
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays to you Marv and the rest of the family. Doesn't matter what the holiday is we have to celebrate don't we. Unfortunately here they celebrate with far too many fireworks starting Friday night and continuing through Saturday night. Needed to tell you that a squirrel got on my patio the other afternoon. Lynn had put the peanut feeder for the birdies inside my fence, and the silly squirrel sniffed it out and climbed in the bucket with it! The man who rubs my belly opened the door and threw him out. And brought the peanuts in the house of course.
ReplyDeleteHappy 2th Marv!!!

ReplyDeleteSo, OK, next time I happen to be passing by I'm throwing my old football into your backyard ... catch it if you can.
