The Pets of the Week!

Hello Friends!
Thanks for all the kind words regarding Owner Boy's Grandma. I have been giving him lots of extra cuddles and kisses to comfort him. "Night" The kitty is still at the vets recovery from surgery, I know all the vibes being sent her way will help her be back home soon!

And now for the Pets of the Week:

This is Mayla!
She lives in South Dakota.

She has a soft voice, quiet nature and loves attention.
I know she looks nothing like me but the Tibby "look-a-like" we found at this shelter was adopted, so we decided to feature a "Beta look-a-like!"

If you live near Mayla and are looking for a kind kitty, you can find out more about her on her page at petfinder.com

This is Allie!
She lives in Texas.

She is a sweet girl that loves to be held and will make a great addition to any family!
She has a sweet face just like me, I know that Owner Boy has family in Texas so maybe I do too!

If you live near Allie and are looking for a cute companion, you can find out more about her on her page at petfinder.com

Are you looking for a forever friend but don't live near Mayla or Allie? Don't worry! Just go to petfinder.com and search for adoptable pets in your area!

The 27th of Februaury

Hello Friends.

Today is February 27, it is know in our house as Kelli Day (or Owner Girl Day to me). It is a made up holiday that Owner Girl used to observe by not going to school and going out to dinner or something special. There is a neat story about this day but I will have to tell it another time because I also have some sad news to report.

Today Owner Boy's Grandma passed away.

Although Owner Girl and I didn't know her that well, we can say that she was an incredibly sweet lady. She loved animals and had several fat (I mean well-fed) kitty cats. We will let Owner Boy share more if he wants but for now please keep him and all of the family in your thoughts.

Also today, OG's Mom kitty cat "Night"

had to have surgery due to a dog bite that left her with a bad infection. Last we heard she was out of surgery and doing alright, they expect her to recover fine as she is a young cat. Keep her and OG's Mom in your thoughts as well.

I am not sure how busy we will be in the next few days or so but please understand if I can't visit or post much. Thank you friends.

True Colors Thursday - Brown

Hello Friends!
I made Owner Girl stop being "busy" with other things and help me play True Colors Thursday! This week's color was Brown, here is the stuff I found:

Lots of Owner Boy's eagle things have Brown on them...

Beta and Lynx both have Brown furs...

This scary looking Brown plant that Owner Girl found last summer, this Brown toad (also found last summer)...

my dog food is Brown, this super cool necklace I borrowed from Chad (OB's Brother) has Brown things on it, and these new towels in our bathroom are Brown...

Owner Girl also added a new Brown shirt to the Scurvy Tibby store!

Blue is the host of this meme. Stop by her blog and let her know if you want to play too!
Next Week's color is YELLOW!

The Slacker

Hello Friends!

Sorry I have missed a few entries and haven't been visiting much! Owner Girl has really been slacking on helping me blog. We didn't get approvals to post Pets of the Week this past weekend so hopefully we will find twice as many this week! My Bingo game has kept us pretty busy plus Owner Girl has been trying to get the room all clean and organized and she is now trying to clean out the computer and get rid of files we don't need anymore. It's a slow process but I hope she will be finished with all of that soon! We are getting pretty tired of the cold weather too and can't wait for Spring to come so we can spend some more time outside! In other news Owner Girl's Sister should be having our new nephew or niece any day now! Anyways, I hope nobody forgot about little me! I'm pretty sure no one could forget this face!

Owner Girl has also spent some time setting up her own shop on Spreadshirt.com. It's called Scurvy Tibby (after me of course) and you can buy her t-shirt designs! There is even one with me on it!

She still has more to add but there are a few up there now.
ALSO! The sign up for Bingo Game 3 is now open don't forget to sign up if you want to play or if you are already playing you can just leave me a comment!
I hope to be back to my regular blogging schedule really soon!

True Colors Thursday - Blue

Hello Friends!
Here are today's Bingo Numbers:

Before I get to the Blue things I found, I wanted to tell everyone to please stop by Bogart's Blog and wish him and his family well. His dad is very sick in the hospital and needs all the puppy prayers we can send!

Owner Girl's favorite color is Blue so I was sure we'd find some good stuff for this week!

The Blue blanket on our bed, the morning noise maker is Blue, this ball the Chinchilla runs around in is Blue...

This one wall is Blue in our bedroom (the other 3 are light blue), these Blue candle holders...

My dog food bin is Blue, this little scarecrow has a Blue hat, my Blue coat...

Blue Smart Water bottle, these cans that are still waiting to be recycled are Blue, this Blue star thingy, and Owner Girl's Blue car!

Blue is the host of this meme. Stop by her blog and let her know if you want to play too!
Next Week's color is BROWN!

The Tongue Shots 101

Hello Friends!
Here are today's Bingo Numbers:

I don't know about you but I just love to throw in a tongue shot every now and then when Owner Girl is having one of her "photo shoots". Although many view the tongue shot as an accidental thing it is actually an art! Let me explain, there are many different types of tongue shots and I will show you just a few that Owner Girl has been lucky enough to capture.

Exhibit A:
The "On-The-Run" Tongue Shot

For use when you just don't have time to deliver a more advanced tongue shot.

Exhibit B:
The "The-Leash-Is-Over-There" Tongue Shot

Comes in handy when your Owner doesn't seem to notice that you would like to go outside.

Exhibit C:
The "Clean-Kitty-Cat" Tongue Shot

An excellent choice after a meal, also a great way to practice multitasking: grooming & giving a tongue shot.

Exhibit D:
The "Doggie-Raspberry" Tongue Shot

A sweet and innocent type of tongue shot. Works great for puppies.

Exhibit E:
The "Let-It-All-Hang-Out" Tongue Shot

Perfect for the times when you don't have a care in the world. You're happy and like the feeling of your tongue flapping in the wind.

Exhibit F:
The "Wrap-Around" Tongue Shot

For those times when you must perform a tongue shot and have some leftover food on the side of your face. Again with the multitasking!

Exhibit G:
The "Move-My-Tongue-So-I-Can-Bite-Your-Face" Tongue Shot

This is best when you must look ferocious! If you do it right you will even cause the "photographer" to produce an out of focus picture.

Exhibit H:
The "Cover-Your-Nose" Tongue Shot

A very useful tongue shot when there is something stinky in the air. (Pirate costume not required)

Exhibit I:
The "Licking-Me-Chops" Tongue Shot

When your mouth is watering as you think of your next meal or buried treasure you're about to find. (Pirate costume not required but is best for the full effect, arrrrgh!)

Exhibit J:
The "It's-So-Cold-My-Tonuge-Is-Stuck-To-My-Nose" Tongue Shot

For those cold Winter days when your toes are frozen and you don't want be out in the snow. If you have good control and can hold the position it may even get you an express ticket back into the nice warm house.

Exhibit K:
The "OH-MY-DOG!" Tongue Shot

Never underestimate the element of surprise! This tongue shot is all about exaggeration, big eyes and a long tongue.

Exhibit L:
The "Lazy-Days" Tongue Shot

A casual execution of the Tongue Shot. Best for those who don't want to put a lot of training and effort in.

Exhibit M:
The "Dignified" Tongue Shot

One of the most difficult Tongue Shots. To be able to strike an official looking pose and then deliver a tongue shot that doesn't even look out of place is pure talent.

I hope this has been an informative lesson for you all! I know there are many other types of tongue shots out there, do you have one? Post it on your bloggy and let me know!

The Valentine's Day Gifts!

Hello Friends!
Here are today's Bingo numbers:


I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day! My day was pretty good but The Owners went out for some romantic dinner and left me at home! How rude! Anyways, Owner Girl's Sister brought her these yummy Valentine's Day cupcakes at work!

They smelled delicious! When Owner Girl got home from work on Friday, Owner Boy had these Valentine's Day treats waiting for her!

They made her smile! Her favorite was the cute little dog! Later the next day we gave Owner Boy the gifts we got for him!

I got him the doggie stuffie and a pawsome card!

It was hard work picking out the best gifts for him! I didn't even have enough energy to pose with the card I picked.

Here is the inside!

Overall we had a wonderful day and The Owners did bring home some yummy leftovers for me! What a lucky dog I am!

The Pets of the Week!

Happy Valentine's Day Friends!

Here are today's Bingo Numbers:


I hope you are all having a wonderful day! Since we are all celebrating love today I thought it was important to still remember those doggies who need a little love and a forever family! Here are our Pets of the Week!

This is Ernest!
He lives in South Carolina.

He is a sweet boy who is crate trained and good with other dogs.
I just love his droopy ears and brown beard! My beard is turning gray, I wonder if he dyes his !

This is Layla!
She lives in Tennessee.

She is 8 months old and is an active girl. She is house trained and will go to the door to ask to go out.
It sounds like she is a smart dog like me! Plus I love her ear-do! It's just like my buddy Gunner!

The Loofa Dog

Hello Friends!

Here are today's Bingo numbers:


I got a new toy last week! He's called a Loofa Dog. He has a goofy smile.

I had seen many of my friends had these Loofa Dogs and I thought I should have one too. I sniffed out this strange new creature and decided he was good. Good to eat that is! BOL!

Eventually we called a truce and we sat together and looked out the window.

This might be the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

True Colors Thursday - Silver

Hello Friends!

Here are today's Bingo Numbers:


I thought we'd find lots and lots of silver things at my house but there weren't as many as I thought! I forgot all about silver coins and silverware! Oh well, here's what I found:

Our Silver phone, OB's Mom's Silver cross, Silver cans waiting to be recycled, Silver shower handles waiting to be installed in the remodeled shower...

a Silver picture frame, the Silver promise ring Owner Boy gave to Owner Girl, Me with my Silver star tag and Silver rabies tag and the Silver thingy on the front of Owner Girl's car!

Tibby's Tricky Tuesday!

Hello Friends!
Welcome to my tricky Tuesday! Today we will learn about another pawsome trick I know. I am still learning this one and since we have been pretty busy I haven't had very much time to practice this week. I can still do it pretty good, but you can see I try to cheat a little!

CRAWL


Here's what your owner should do:
1. Get some yummy doggie treats!
2. Have your dog lay down. Hold a treat on the ground right in front of your dog.
3. Slowly move your hand back. If your dog gets up, have her lay down again and start again.
4. If your dog starts to crawl forward say "Good Crawl!" and give her a treat!
5. Gradually move the treat further away before rewarding your dog.
6. When your dog is crawling after the treat consistently start the treat further away from her. The goal is to have your dog crawl without you having to drag the treat in front of her. (I am still learning this part)

As always, keep training sessions short and fun for your dog. Don't get frustrated if your dog is struggling with a command, move on to something she knows well and revisit the new on at a later time. Remember these are just the steps that worked for me and Owner Girl. If they don't seem to work for you and your dog, don't worry! There are many other resources and professionals that can help you.

Good luck and happy training everyone!

ALSO! Bingo starts tomorrow! Sign up by the end of the day today if you want to play!

The New Awards

Hello Friends!

Over the weekend most of our snow melted away! I hope this means that spring is on it's way! The only bad thing is that the snow left lots of mud around our yard so my paws get all dirty now when I go out! Just in case anyone is missing their snow here is a pic of me with snow on my cute face!
Owner Girl thought it was soo cute. I just thought it was cold and wanted to go inside!

I haven't had a chance to visit all your blogs all weekend since we have been soo very busy! I am very behind on seeing what you are all up to but I'm trying to get caught up!

I was so surprised and excited to find that I received some lovely awards!

First the Honest Scrap Award from my friend Gizmo!The rules:
"When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to said person so everyone knows he or she is real.

Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have 7 friends. Show the 7 random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with “Honest Weblog.” Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. List at least ten honest things about yourself. Then, pass it on! "

I also received this Kreativ Blogger award from Pugsley and Pearl & Daisy!
So here are the rules! List 6 things that make you happy. Pass the award on to 6 bloggers for being Kreativ. Link to the blogger who gave you the award. Link to the blogs receiving the award. Notify the recipients.

Since I have to make this quick and get busy visiting all my friends, I will combine the rules of these two and list 7 things that honestly make me happy!

1. My family, especially my Owner Boy. He is my very favorite even though I spend more time with Owner Girl.

2. Food! I like my doggie food but most of all I love it when peoples share their food with me!

3. My Blog! I have so much fun with my bloggie and love to think of new fun things to do with it!

4. All my friends! I am so happy that I have met so many wonderful doggies and their peoples!

5. Chewing on bones! I love my doggie bones, especially yummy flavored ones.

6. Playing! I like to play fetch, tug of war and I really love to rough house with Owner Boy.

7. Weekends! I like the weekends because The Owners are both home with me usually and we get some quality snuggle time in.

I will pass these awards on to:
Anyone that wants them!
Leave me a comment and I will add your name and a linky here!

Don't forget to sign up for my Bingo game! It will start Wednesday so you have to sign up by tomorrow (Tuesday) night!

The Pets of the Week!

Hello Friends!
I have had a busy weekend. We had lots of peoples over at our house tonight. Owner Boy had family visiting from Texas so a whole bunch of family peoples came over to eat dinner with us! Us dogs had to be locked up in a bedroom because there were some little kids that were afraid of us. But we got to come out after a little bit and of course everyone loved seeing me do my tricks!
Anyways, here are the Pets of the Week!

This is Cici!
She lives in Oklahoma.

She is a Boston Terrier / Mini Schnauzer Mix. She is good with other dogs and kids!
I think we could be long lost relatives! She has an adorable face just like me!

If you live near Cici and are looking for a gorgeous gal, you can find out more about her on her page at petfinder.com

This is Arad!

He lives in Pennsylvania!

He is a 2 year old terrier mix. He is a very active boy despite having a broken leg when he was younger that has since healed.
He looks like a fun pup to me! I bet we'd have a great time playing together!

If you live near Arad and are looking for a furry friend, you can find out more about him on his page at petfinder.com

Are you looking for a puppy pal but don't live near Cici or Arad? Don't worry! Just go to petfinder.com and search for available pets in your area!

ALSO, don't forget to sign up for Bingo!

The Pay It Forward Game!

Hello Friends!

I was invited by my friend Abby to Pay It Forward! I have been anxiously awaiting my surprise from Abby and it showed up in our mailbox a few days ago! It smells pretty good, let's see what's inside!

Oh! Look at the goodies I got!

A sheep stuffie, some yummy liver treats and a Petsmart ball! They are just wonderful! Thanks so much Abby!

Now it's my turn to Pay It Forward!

The exchange focuses on doing an act of kindness without expecting anything in return other than that the recipient will, in their turn, pass the kindness along and 'pay it forward' in their own way.

This is how it works...I am going to send something to the first 3 blog owners who wants to take part. [please leave your email address if I don't all ready have it]. In turn you will then post about this on your blog, link to me, then send something to the first three people who sign up to play along through your blog.

There are no cost restraints, BUT don't go crazy! The little something you send can be something you made, bought, were given or found.No biggie, just a gift that will make the person smile.Maybe something unique from where you live?

And, remember that kindness does not have to involve money; there are untold ways to help others every single day, everywhere you go - just look around.

Please let me know if you want to play!

Tibby's Tricky Tuesday!

Hello Friends!

Here are today's Bingo numbers in case you missed them on the Bingo Page:Also, I added a sign up form for the next game at the top of my sidebar, please sign up if you want to play (even if you are playing the first game)!

Now for a pawsome trick I know!

JUMP!
(Owner Girl didn't upload the video yet
cuz she is being very lazy busy with making
a HUGE mess of the bathroom doing
something called "re-deck-or-ate-ing")

Here's what your owner should do:

1. As always get some yummy, super delicious doggy treats.

2. Have your dog sit or stand in front of you and do something that will make your dog jump! Try jumping up and down, throwing a toy up or just getting him very excited! (Try not to let him jump ON you!)

3. When he jumps say "jump" then "good boy" and reward with a treat!

4. After a few times of him jumping like this, phase out the thing you are using to make him jump (toy, you jumping, etc) and start using a hand signal in addition to the command. (My Owner Girl puts her arm out, hand in a fist with fingers down and pulls her hand up when giving the command)

5. Once your dog gets the hang of this trick, try giving him the command when he is calmer. If your dog doesn't seem to be getting this trick, be patient. I know some doggies that really just don't like to jump.

6. Keep training short and fun for your dog and don't get frustrated if your dog doesn't seem to be catching on. Move on to something your dog knows well and always end the session on a happy note!

7. As always, these are just the steps that worked for me and Owner Girl. If they aren't working for you and your dog, don't worry! There are many professionals and resources out there that can help you find the best way for you and your dog!


Good luck and happy training everyone!
