VALENTINE'S DAY TIDBITS

Well hello there Audience...we have finally emerged out of all the snow to celebrate our 8th Blogoversary and to give you some updates and tidbits of the latest happenings around Headquarters.  

When we last left off, the Marmot Whisperer had arrived on the scene to work his magic on the hibernating marmots, who had been delaying my opening of Clooneyland...

Our buddy Stan The World's Smallest Sheep had been standing by to give his 8th Annual Groundhog Day Report...

 We were all waiting for "Varmit the BC Marmot" to surface for his annual Groundhog Day prediction... If you recall Audience, Varmit has been bribed with Num-Nums for 5 years of early Spring predictions...is under contractual obligation and my purrsonal care to  ensure accurate yearly predictions.  However, Varmit did not surface from hibernation and therefore Groundhog Day was cancelled in the province of British Columbia...

We then realized the seriousness of the situation and were advised by the Marmot Whisperer to pull out all the stops...Chinese food was ordered to bribe the hibernating marmots...

Fancy umbrella drinks were made to bribe the hibernating marmots...

But all to no avail...The Marmot Whisperer is now sequestered in the Secret Research Laboratory working on a master plan to bring the marmots out of hibernation...We will keep you posted on the subsequent developments...

In the meantime, Stan sends his kisses and special Valentine's wishes on behalf of all of us at Clooney's Num-Num Fund...

May love light up your day...

Happy Valentine's Day to all!  Thank you for your friendship through our years of blogging, it means the world to us!

10 Gotcha's & 1 Brilliant Idea

Well hello there Audience...Here I am with my "wheels turning" with my one brilliant idea to get the Marmots out of hibernation and finally open Clooneyland...

I have decided to pull out all the stops and call on the "big guns" for theese one! 

Yep, ya got that right...I have decided to bring in "The Marmot Whisperer"...He has just stepped off the plane and he will be working to unhibernate those Marmots!  We'll be keeping you posted on theese one!

Today, something caught my attention...

One of Clooney Claus's deers had stopped by to apologize for taking off to Cabo and being MIA on Catmas Eve...

He had a message from all of my team of Deers...
Yep, it's my 10th Gotcha Day today!

Neytiri even gave me some special Gotcha Day kisses...

And I received an awesome message in my fortune cookie today!

My Cousin Cloonski Ogorki (aka "The Marmot Whisperer") had some special wishes for me...

I also received a special card from my twin Buddy Budd and Timmy Tomcat and Family!

It's shaping up to be one epic 10th Gotcha!

TUNNEL TUESDAY

TUNNEL TUESDAY: TAKE A LOOK AT THEESE ONE!

Well hello there felines.  So I goes to my tunnel in the wee hours of the morn...and what do I find?  Special gifts from my Cousin Cloonski Ogorki!  Isn't that exciting, felines?!

 

Yep, Cloonski is in da house!  Here is a snap of him binge-watching the new series "Birds Gone Wild" on Netflix on a full tummy of Neytiri's homecooked Ukrainian food...

He brought us special Cat Dolls from Kiev...Does theese one bear any resemblance to anykitty you know?

And here I am posing with the special dog biscuit that he brought with him for the woofie from next door...Last year, if you recall, the woofie had placed an order with Cloonski for some specialty dog biscuits from Old Country...Because of the Snowpocalypse, Cloonski was stranded in the airport and ate the dog biscuits!  You can read about that here...

This year he remembered to bring a biscuit with him to surprise the woofie...Here I am waiting at the front door for the woofie to drop by...

The woofie thought the surprise biscuit was the best New Year's gift evah!

Happy Ukrainian New Year, everyone!  

Now remember folks, if you pro-cat-inated on your New Year's resolutions, 

you get to start all over again this week on January 14th!

TUNNEL TUESDAY

TUNNEL TUESDAY: TAKE A LOOK AT THEESE ONE!

Well hello there felines.  So I goes to my tunnel in the wee hours of the morn...and what do I find? There waiting for me was a yummy plate of Ukrainian food!  Can you believe it, felines?!

 

I got in closer to sniff the yummy stuff...

And then even a little closer to sniff my beloved ham...oh how I loves me ham!  Then Neytiri put a kaibosh on the whole thing!  She said she had been slaving away in the kitchen at Headquarters for days putting her Martha Stewart Baking Lessons to good use, making nalisnyky, perogies and cabbage rolls,  and that the yummy food was for my cousin Cloonski Ogorki who would be arriving from Old Country to spend Ukrainian Christmas with us...

I was instructed that I had to admire the ham from a distance and wait for Cloonski...I hope his plane isn't delayed like last year when the Snowpocalypse hit us and he was stranded in the airport...

Join us next TUESDAY felines for Ukrainian New Year's and the arrival of cousin Cloonski Ogorki

TUNNEL TUESDAY

TUNNEL TUESDAY: TAKE A LOOK AT THEESE ONE!

Well hello there felines.  So I goes to my tunnel in the wee hours of the morn...and what do I find?  A special gift from my Cousin Cloonski Ogorki!  Can you believe it, felines?

Uh, what's going on here?

Not a smidgen of the good stuff to be found!

Yep, besides eating the dog biscuits when he was stranded in the snowpocalypse, he ate our Christmas gift that he brought with him from Old Country...

But then with a sparkle in his eye,  he pulled a surprise out of his suitcase for us...

A very special Cat Doll from the Ukraine...

Whoa, wasn't there just one of theese ones?

Neytiri headed over curious about the multiplying Cat Doll phenomenon...

She gave them a thorough sniffing...

What in the Hello Kitty is going on?

Yep, Cloonski brought us a special set of Cat Matryoshka Dolls! 

Suddenly there was a knock at the door...The woofie from next door was on the scene again...He saw Cloonski arrive by taxi and came to claim his special order of biscuits...

Luckily Neytiri had put her Martha Stewart Baking Lessons to good use once again...She saved the day by baking some special biscuits for the woofie...

And Clooney Claus's Deers had re-surfaced to celebrate Ukrainian New Year's with us...

In addition to our perogy supper, we decided to do it up in style with more Chinese take-out...

And KFC! 

And all was well in the neighbourhood once again...

Happy Ukrainian New Year! 

Now remember folks, if you pro-cat-inated on your New Year's resolutions, 

you get to start all over today!

TUNNEL TUESDAY

TUNNEL TUESDAY: SNOWPOCALYPSE!

Well hello there felines.  So I goes to my tunnel in the early hours of the morn...and what do I find?  Wait a minute...my tunnel is outside in a snowbank!

And Mini-Cloon is having a hay day out in the snow too!  It's been snowing for two days and we received a record snowfall where we live and the plows have not yet made it out...

And it gets better...The woofie from next door is approaching...He is expecting an order of specialty biscuits that my long-lost cousin Cloonski Ogorki was bringing with him from Old Country.  The woofie had placed his order one whole year ago, the last time Cloonski was in Canada. 

Here he is expecting the goods...

I whisper to Neytiri to let him down gently.  You see, the snowpocalypse has affected all flights coming into our city and they have all been cancelled.  Thus my cousin is stranded and MIA with the dog biscuits...

As seen in the video, upon getting his attention, Neytiri communicates the disturbing news and the woofie starts to cry...

He exits stage left saying that next time, he will place his order on ebay...

Oh, oh.  Clooney Claus's Deers have now arrived on the scene as they were promised a perogy supper for Ukrainian Christmas tonight, we now have to break the news to them that the perogy supper is cancelled...

Upon hearing this disappointing news, they run down the mountain to order Chinese take-out...

Meanwhile my long-lost cousin Cloonski Ogorki is...

Stranded at the aeropuerto, feeling like a fool, he ate the dog's biscuits...what will he do?

Join us next TUNNEL TUESDAY for the exciting conclusion of Cloonski Ogorki's visit to Canada and our Ukrainian New Year's.
