Shirley you know. . . .

Blogville Mayorz

• Murphy and Stanley

have declared this week:  "Everything knows Shirley" so we can have an opportunity to introduce our friends to friends they haven't met yet!

I have so many new friends in Blogville since Mom adopted me as a rescue dog in 2014 so it's hard to pick from so many.

Well - I can't forget my fella Frankie Furter at

• Frankie Furter and Ernest

He's just pawsome, as are his paw-rents  and his cousin.

• Sarge

We have so much fun talking and laughing in Blogville and at home.

I think almost all of you know those friends, but here are some you may not have met and will be SO happy you did.

First -  there are cousins that each have a blog  (no don't start singing that "identical cousin" them song from the Patty Duke show that Mom remembers when she was little or EVERYONE will know how old she is).

• Bell Fur Zoo

and

• The Adventures of Higgins

They have the most colorful, entertaining blogs and even though each of them has lost a dear four legged member of their families very recently they still take the time to share and care for others.

And lastly - our newly discovered friend

• Bouncing Bertie

Bertie lives clear across the big pond and is a math and science whiz who makes my Mom laugh SO hard.  We LOVES Bertie's science post collection. My Pee H. Dee Science Mom is weird, she has a collection of antique slide rules on the shelf with her bones (and don't get me started on why Mom won't let me play with her bone collection).

So stop in and say hi to old friends and make some new ones.  Thanks again to the Mayor Doodz for this great event.
