True Colours Thursday

Today's color is VIOLET. We were a little surprised to find that we don't have much VIOLET
in our home. It is a color that we all like a lot so we better go shopping to find some more of it.

First we have a bag of one of our favorite treats - Mom uses them a lot for training purposes.


Then we found a few of the bipeds stuffies - a trio of Barneys.

And a pair of My Little Ponies and a brush for their manes - these actually belong to Mom's daughters and are from the early 1980s. But the two little girl grandbipeds love to play with them now.


And here's a fluffy little kitty that Mom found in the stuffy basket in one of the bedrooms upstairs - that's why we have never seen it before.


Here are the blooms from one of Mom's African VIOLETS.

And then we found this pretty pair of candlesticks with a spray of pretty little VIOLET flowers on them.

Here is a closeup shot of the flowers.


And lastly, Mom's birthstone is amethyst - here is one of her necklaces and a pair of earrings, both with her beautiful VIOLET stone in them.

Since we didn't really have much of our own VIOLET to share, we pawed a few of our good furiends to see if we could use them as models of some more VIOLET. So let's begin our showcase of beauties.

VIOLET is a favorite color of both Khyra and her Mom. Here is our beloved MFT . . .


^^ Check out the beautiful collar on our favorite Lady Khyra.

^^Too bad we can't see who is on the other end of this snazzy leash on Miss Fluffy Tail Khyra - word has it that the MOM also sports a lot of VIOLET.

And next we have a couple of members of the AO4 who want to share their love of VIOLET too.


^^Lovely Miss Amber on a royal "throne" of Mom's VIOLET fabrics.

^^And here's evfurrybody's pal DAVE all decked out in his VIOLET bandanna. Don't you just want to kiss those freckles?


And look who is next? Steve and Kat from the Washington Woos. Can woo just hear the pitter patter of Khyra's and Thunder's hearts as they each pine for the loves of their lives?

^^Matching VIOLET bandannas and. . .


^^ Matching head poses (lessons from the AO4).

And now here is our Honorary Husky - presenting Miss Huffle who loves to be surrounded by all things VIOLET!!!

^^Doesn't she look beautiful up against this VIOLET blanket?

But wait, check this out:

^^Now who wouldn't love to sleep in this luxurious VIOLET bed accompanied by such a cute little mouse?

And last, but definitely not least, Sitka and Cornelia Marie want to show woo how much they enjoy the color of the day too.


^^Sitka wears a big smile along with her beautiful bandanna.


^^How about a little snoofing of the VIOLET wubba?

^^Ahhhh, a great game of VIOLET wubba tug between the big and lil sisters!

It was so much fun to share our furiends' love of VIOLET as well as our own with all of woo. If woo want to do Blue's meme too, just visit Blue's blogspot. Next week's color is GREEN - of course, it IS the week for St. Patrick's Day.

Woos, the OP Pack

    That was a lot of nice violet. I especially like those candlesticks - they're very bee-woo-tiful! ...and I'd like to jump in and play tuggy-tug with Sitka, CM and that Wubba, too!
    Great job, friends!

  15. Violet is one of our mom's favs! Like Ouuuu, lots of pretty violets!!! Like Khyra & Kat, Star (that's me) also wears a violet collar with matching leash. My favorite of your violets is kissable Dave.... I think I'll head on over & plant a few snooter kisses on him. I can tell you right now that Jack's favorites would be the Barneys...and he'd soon discover what color they are on the inside!

    Woos & a-roos,
    Star & Jack a-roo

  20. Are you sure you mean you're all in agreement with #2,4 & 5? #5 is scratching the furniture. We didn't know dogs do that. Our dogs prefer sleeping on it to scratching it. But, hey, every dog (and kitty) to his own. We like you anyway. It's Jan who has the problem with the furniture scratching.

  21. We just popped by to say Hello - we seem to have quite a few mutual friends!
    We have visited quite a few blogs doing violet today and they have all agreed it is a hard colour! I guess that should be color - this could be a "I say tomato and your tomaeto moment!"
    Anyway you did well - our favourites were the stuffies and the My little ponies. That is probably cos we are girls.
    Stop by and say hello some time.
    Nice to meet you.
    Basset best wishes

  23. No problem. We have an occasional slip of the paw too, even though Percy does most of our typing and his paws aren't as big as mine or Sam's.
