Tuesday Telling

Time fur some Tuesday Telling...
My furiend Honey the very BEAWOOTIFUL Great Dane tagged me fur 'My Mummy and Daddy' .
Well, I was an owner surrender to the lokhal SPCA. Mom stopped by on August 19, 2006 to see another dog she'd seen on their website. That one was gone BUT I was there!
The behind bars shot is only the furst pikh of the 1, 234, 456, 789 she's taken to this point in time!
I had been turned in bekhause I kept running off and the other hoomans wouldn't khommit to fencing and/or khonfining me!
Their loss = MY GAIN!
PLUS, I got rid of the name WHITNEY!
So, we have no idea of my heritage or even my exakht age. With Mom's experience to my special breed, she knew I was more than one but less than two. She thought about me fur the week and then khame bakhk on August 26, 2006 to see if I liked her enough to go home with her.
I guess I did fur here I am!
If anyone else would like to share their early days, please do!!!
******
Here is the furst night Mom touched Butterskhotch...
She was hiding in the leaves/shrubs...
Mom used some of the long leafy things to get her attention...and true to khat style, she tried to khlaim Mom by impressing her with her sharp pointy toenails!
Some nights when Mom is on my laptop, BM patrols the windowsill batting at the bugs and moths!
******
Since the PFs are so mobile now, it is a challenge to khapture them in a shot but here is one of their playpen Mom snagged Monday afternoon...
As they mature even more, they will be brave enough to try sitting on the 'stikhk' like their pawrents do!
******
Fur those 'whoooo' aren't skhared by the owls, here are some pikhs from Monday AND the linkie to their khamera...
Woo khan watch me at T H I S L I N K I E
The kholours are just so khool!
Look at THAT snooter!
Testing out those wings!
******
I khan't furget our eagle pals!
Happy Tuesday Evfurryone!
See woo tomorrow fur THAT day of the month!
Hugz&Khysses,
Khyra

We're furry lucky that you and your mom found each other. Somepup has to keep your mom in line.

Momma said they were freaky not scary!

You are one lukhky pup to have a mom so nice!

Too bad she won't let that khat in for you to play with.

I always wondered why those baby birds are so ugly when they are born, but turn out sooo beautiful.

It was FATE that brought woo together! How sweet. We're glad woo lost your name, woo are so not a "Whitney". love that 2nd pic of woo, such a cutie pie! Those baby owls aren't nearly as cute as woo, but I'm sure their mom thinks they are, cause that's how moms are.

What a gorgeous picture of you, Khyra - you look like you're smiling so happily to have found your new home!!! :-)

Thanks so much for telling about how you found your human - I always wondered about that! It's so wonderful that you found each other.

Slobbers,
Honey the Great Dane

Martha said...

How lovely to hear about your early days Khyra - like us it sounds like you were with the wrong family - thank goodness you are now in the right forever home!
How anyone could call you Whitney we dont know!!
You are looking beautiful in your pictures. Butterscotch is adorable!
The birds are cute but we are sure Butterscotch must have an eye on them!
love

We loved hearing how you found your Mom! Thank you for sharing. My Mom is sharing my parent's background on the new My Corgi blog for corgi owners to share on since we don't tend to let them have time on our blogs. I guess they got together and decided to make one between several of them. She wrote about my Daddy and plans to write about my Mama next.

We've seen some of those owl babies before up close. Mom's brother-in-law saved some that get their nest messed up on an oil rig and she had them for several days before she could get them into a program at the college in Bakersfield, where we've taken injured raptors that we've found. They are ugly and hiss like CATS! OC

We love that picture of you smiling!! We think Khyra is a much better name for you than Whitney too!!


Butterscotch has purrty laser eyes!!

That owl looks like a Vegas showgirl with all those sparkly feathers.

How nice to hear about how you found your mom. I am glad she figured out what your real name is.

Slobbers,

Clive said...

It was lovely to read how you met your Mom. We're thrilled you had a name change - Whitney just wouldn't suit you at all!

The bird photos are great - the little man really loves the owls as well by the way. He saw a great bird cage at the flower show on Sunday as tried to persuade his Mom to get it but she was having none of it!! He wants a parrot but imagine what Tinkerbell would do to a parrot!

lots of woofs

Bae Bae said...

♥♥ The OP Pack ♥♥ said...

And your Mom is one lucky lady to have made that second trip to the shelter. Otherwise she wouldn't have the beautiful MFT and we all would never have known each other.

BM is just so pretty Look at those eyes!!!

Woos, the OP Pack

Definately their loss. Your Mom was very lucky to find you!

Zeus said...

I can't even begin to think of you as a Whitney. I'm so glad your human pet changed your name. Khyra fits you much better!

Mack said...

We are soooo glad you found such a wonderful furrever home!!

Abby said...

Hi, Khyra...

Probably the best thing that ever happened to you & your Mom was your first owner's giving you up...

You & your Mom were meant to be together...You two are soooo lucky to have eachother...

My Mom finally sent your prize today...She needs to get her priorities straight...

Abby xxxooo

Fate intervened and now you're a celebrity among dog bloggers... seems like everyone knows Khyra and her Mom! Tell me, when you go for your walks or out shopping, do other dogs ask for your paw print? Does the puparazzi follow you around taking pictures? Do you get preferential treatment at Pet Smart or wherever you shop for provisions? You should write about what it's like to be a celebrity pooch... your fans want to know!

Daisy said...

Khyra, the person who turned you in was a big do-do! But I'm glad it happened because you have such an awesome home now.

Angel Ginger Jasper said...

It sure was their loss and your mums gain, look how happy you both are now. It would not be the same without a daily Khyra fix.

Thabk you for the birdie pics. See you tomorrow.

Hugs GJ xx

YD, sometimes with ♥June and ♥Angel Samantha said...

Cliff and Olivia said...

Your story is a bit like ours. We chose our human when they visited a shelter too.

The Army of Four said...

Oh, you look SO happy in that second picture!!!
Stormy and Zim were both about 1 1/2 when they joined our family, too!
Zim thinks you must like Butterscotch a lot to share your blog with him. Hrrrrrmph!!!
Love,
Ammy

Angel Junior, Orion and Sammy said...

Now about Butterscotch.......is this kitty a new addition to your household?

Life With Dogs said...

Oh khyra we are really glad that the other pup was gone when Mom came by. She is so lucky that you decided to adopt her..

I love your story Khyra! Mine is sort of similar, but it doesn't seem to matter who our folks were, but who our "folks" are now ya-roooo!!! Also love the PFs - how BIG they've gotten! And the owls are incredible - wow, what a beautiful array of feathers! I'm so fond of the eagles - we saw so many in AK! (But no babies...)
Hugs and Love xo
