All About Your People!
Well it’s here & I hope lots of you will play along. Since our people do such a good job of blogging for us, I thought we could get a little recognition.
The only rules are that I ask you to copy and past the button at the top of my sidebar & then add your post to my Mr. Linky. We’ll be leaving Mr. Linky up all weekend for you to add your link.
Try to visit as many links as you can, so that we can all make new friends.
O.K., about me. I live with my mom person, my dad person & my boys John & Jack. John’s girlfriend is here a lot too, so I’m going to include her too.
We live in Waterford, Michigan in the U.S. Right about here.
For any of you outside of the U.S., Michigan is shaped like a mitten, so we can always tell people where we live by holding up our hands, well people can, paws don’t work so well.
This is my dad person, Chris.
He is 41 years old & works for a local college in the admissions department. He came into a ready-made family of my mom person & John & Jack. My people have been married almost 7 years. My dad person loves the outdoors & going camping when he isn’t working about 42,879 per week. He’s also an awesome cook & sometimes I get to eat some of his yummy food.
Here is my mom person, Pam. She also blogs under the name Mimi. I guess it was her nick name when she was little & she still likes it.
She used to work all the time, but she has been sick the past few years. She has something called bi-polar depression, and last year she got a tummy sickness called gastroparesis. This means that the muscles in her tummy don’t munch up the food well, so she has lost lots of weight since that picture was taken and spent way too much time in the hospital. She’s doing better now, but the depressions & the tummy problems won’t ever go away. She say that I am one of her best medicines!
She reads lots of books, blogs a lot, and watches way too much TV. Shows called NCIS & Criminal Minds are her favorites. She is 43 years old.
My oldes boy is John David. He is 18. His girlfriend is LeighAnne. She moved away from her house for college and now lives close to us. They have been together almost a year and a half.
John is studying for his GED and plans on going to college in the fall to take some classes. John pays lots of attention to me & you can usually find me protecting him during thunder storms.
Here’s me & John after I helped him plant some trees for my dad person’s birthday.
This is my youngest boy, Jack. He just turned 15 and will be going somewhere called high school in September.
Jack only lives here half the time. He spends the other half of the time with his dad person, so we miss him sometimes. (John & Jack are both from my mom person’s first marriage.) Jack didn’t like me when I first came to live here. I used my needle-like puppy teeth to bite his face alot, but he has forgiven me now.
Both of my boys love music, video games and hanging out with friends, which doesn’t include me!
Now it’s your turn to add your link. Please put the link to your actual All About Your People post, not just the main link to your blog, so when friends visit, they don’t have to hunt around.
The Look Of Handsomeness!
Well today was the dreaded grooming day. I can’t say that I cared for it, but since it’s been so hot here & since my handsomeness was being slightly compromised I consented & look at me now!
I am fully re-schnauzed as my mom person says. Here’s a full body shot. Notice the very large stick I am protecting my mom person from.
Also here’s a shot of me supervising my mom person mailing out my GABE prizes to Bella. What’s that I hear you saying? Oh yes, you’re right GABE ended ages ago! My mom person has tried unsuccessfully to mail this out twice to Australia & gotten it wrong both times! This time I am supervising to make sure she does it right.
I’m so very sorry, Bella for the seeming incompetence of my help. Sometimes it’s hard always trying to supervise people.
I’ve had a great response to my All About Your People Day & I really appreciate it.
I’ve had a couple of questions about what we should blog about. I would suggest as much as your people are comfortable sharing. Here are some examples:
What do your people do for work?
Where do you live?
What do your people like to do when not hanging out with you?
Do they have a history with your breed or type of animal?
Do you live with other fur-kids that don’t usually get mentioned on your blog?
Do you have human pups at your house?
Really anything. The more you share the more we’ll know about the people who are lucky enough to have you for an owner! (My mom person says technically she owns me, silly human.)
If you have any more questions please let me know. I’m planning on putting up a Mr. Linky on Friday, July 16th & leaving it open for people to all their links all weekend. I hope it will be a great way to get to know more about each other!
Blog About Your People Day!
After Frankie’s great Fourth of July Name Game, I thought I would try a game of my own. I would like to know more about everybodies people!
Do you have a human mom person & a human dad person? Do you have human brothers or sisters, either teenagers, like mine, or human pups? Where do you live?
I would love to know more about all of you, see pictures of your people and where you live.
Starting next Friday, July 16th, my mom person will put a Mr. Linky on my blog for everyone to hook up their people posts. We will leave it up for the weekend for people to link up whatever day is most convenient for them.
Will you play along? Please spread the word to all of your bloggie friends by including the button in your post (it’s at the top of my sidebar) & you can even put it on your sidebar now if you want for people to come learn about “People Day”.
What A Week!
My oldest boy John got my mom person a giant blue monkey.
The giant blue monkey thought about trying to get my octopus toy, but luckily for me, he’s not very quick!
Here’s a drawing I made of what it would look like if my mom person could get a picture.
(In the picture the hummingbird doesn’t have any wings, cause they flutter too fast to really be seen!)
See what all the other Camera Critters are up to.
