The Butterflies and Presents!

Hello Friends!
Here are today's Bingo numbers:
38 . 23 . 49

Today I am going to share some cool pictures The Owners took when they were away in Niagara Falls. The last day they went to a super cool place and saw lots and lots of butterflies!
Here is a great BIG black and white butterfly!

This little butterfly landed on Owner Boy's leg!

Here you can see the shadows of 3 butterflies on a big green leaf!

This one looks like it has eyes on it's wings!

The Owners even got to hold this friendly orange butterfly!

Here is one hanging upside down!

And one drinking from this pretty flower!

This one is a BIG moth! He was very old and wrinkly!

Finally it's time to see the presents that The Owners brought back for me!
I was so excited to see them when they got home and even more excited when I got these great things: A pawsome wolf stuffie, a salmon skin bone and some treat sticks! They also got me some cute puppy pastries!

Here's my loot!

I really love this new stuffie! We had lots of fun playing with it!

Here I am getting one of the delicious puppy pastries! Owner Girl said I could only have one a day! That's soo not fair!

In other news, Tibby Day is only one week away! As part of our celebration we are going to be sharing some Tibby facts and stories with you! To start things off we will tell you how I came to live with The Owners! Owner Girl will be telling this part of the story so be prepared for a real snoozer!

OWNER GIRL: The story of how Tibby came to us started long before she was even born! As a child, I had always lived in an apartment where pets were not allowed. We had various mice, snakes and lizzards to try and fill the "pet void" but most if not all of these ended with escaped animals, unexpected "litters" and/or escaped food (i.e. crickets) leading to an irrational fear of crickets that my sister and I now share! When I was 16 we were finally moving to a house and I knew right away that I was going to get a dog. Fast forward a few months when I came home with a tiny bundle of kitty cat now known as, Beta. For whatever reason I forgot about wanting a dog for years and soon went off to college. When I came back from college a year and a half later due to financial aid woes, I moved into an apartment with Joseph (Owner Boy) and his family. When his family found a bigger house to rent and we found out that we would be able to have dogs, I immediately searched petfinder for my perfect dog. What I found was a 1.5 year old dachshund mix named Charlie. I sent in my application and waited to hear news while I picked out the collar he would wear, the bed he would sleep in and the treats he would do wonderful tricks for. When the shelter contacted me and said that he had been placed with another family, I was a little sad but kept a close eye on other available pets and two days later two sweet little schnauzer mix pups appeared from the same shelter. Bip and Bop.

We'll share more tomorrow as we continue to countdown the days until Tibby Day!

TIBBY: Like my friends really care about any of that stuff except the very last part where you found me! Geez! Owner Girl really needs to work on her writing skills!
Anyways, as part of Tibby Day we will have a challenge each day for all my friends! Everyone who gets the challenge right will be entered in a prize drawing! So the more challenges you participate in, the more chances you have to win!
For the first challenge you have to tell me how many butterflies are in this picture!

Good Luck!

One more thing, Tibby, is there something wrong with our Bingo card, we noticed that it isn't covering all the numbers you have called so far.

We love the pictures of the butterflies. They are lovely.
We also enjoyed reading about how you came to be with Owner girl and boy.

Muzzle thinks those butterfly photos are so cool. I'm wondering what the butterflies would taste like. I scared Muzzle once when I opened my mouth and a moth that had been playing inside, flew out.

Those presents look great! I bet that helped make up for them going away without you!

Tibby, I think there might be 20 butterflies in that picture... but my eyesight is not great!

I just love hearing the story of how you came to live with your family! I am so excited for your Tibby Day!!!

Nibbles Treats said...

The butterflies are absolutely beautiful. Our family goes to see them here in our city every year also. We're going to guess 21 are in the picture.

Tibby,

You mom has me sitting on the edge of my dawg bed waiting to hear the rest of the story! My mom hasn't been to Niagra Falls since she was a little girl and would sure like to go again soon. I counted 20 butterflies which is a pretty impressive feat for a chihuahua! We'll be tuned in to hear the rest of the story!

hey Tibby! those are really pretty butterflies and your photographer did a great job on the pictures - all of them.

we kind of did like hearing that story about how your owner girl found you. our mom went through a similar experience when she wanted to get a dog.

we have to admit that we are kind of partial to schnauzers, since i, Bailey, am proudly 1/2 schnauzer. we love that cutest little puppy photo of you.

woofs.

Cowspotdog said...

those are wonderful pics.....my mom loves to go to the butterfly house here too....and she is always snapping pics. You are so lucky to have such such good people to own and that bring you such wonderful presents back when they go away.

Those butterflies are so pretty! Faith likes to decapitate their heads then squish their bodies with her paws & then leave them to rot on the floor. I know, how horrible! Wow! That stuffie looks scawie but thank dog it's not alive. Hee! Those treats look yummy too. Yum!

Smoochies,

Your mom sure knows how to take beautiful pictures, Tibby! I LOVE the butterflies! As to how many there are in the last picture, I can just count to 10, but I know there are more than that. Maybe 10 and 4 or and 3 and....something like that?
