Thankful on Thursday






As you know, I am what they call a senior citizen canine. At the age of 12 1/2, I don't usually engage in very many games. But our furiends over at AFSS (that would be Alasandra, Artemisia, Fenris, Socks, and Scylla) tagged me for a game of questions. I am going to do my best to answer these questions but you know I AM a little on the shy side.



Do you think you’re hot?



Oh, that is such an embarrassing question for me to answer. Many of you do say I have a handsome face and big blue eyes. I am a bit more modest and will say that I have some good assets.

As for being hot in another sense, YES, it has been way too hot here for way too many days. I spend most of my time inside where the a/c keeps me very comfortable. We all like to do this:




Upload a picture or wallpaper you are using at the moment.

Here is one of my favorite photos of me with my good pal Dakota.



I miss her a lot.



When was the last time you ate chicken meat?

I have turkey in my canned gastrointestinal canned food every day - well, every day that I am willing to eat it. But Mom says I can have some real chicken tonight because she is making extra with the humans' dinner tonight just for ME.





The song(s) you’ve listened to most recently?

The only music I ever hear around here is from the little bipeds. Lots of Itsy Bitsy Spider and Barney songs, and then the oldest biped likes Hannah Montana and lots of dance music. Today they were all dancing and singing to something called Pandamania from their Vacation Bible School program.


What were you thinking when you were doing this?


Hmmm, I am thinking very deeply that I am hoping Mom will give me some of that duck jerky that I love so very much. And I am thinking about tomorrow which is a very special day for the OP Pack.




Do you have any nicknames?


Oh yes, indeed I do. For some reason, I am often referred to as Picky Boy, something to do with my eating habits. Then there is the one that came about from that silly Name Game Song that ends with me becoming Phanny Bananny. And then it gets shortened to Phanny, just be sure you spell it with a "PH" and not an "F".


I think there were some more things I am supposed to do with this tag, but I am getting a little sleepy now. Hope you will forgive me if I take a little snooze.




We also want to thank some very special blogging furiends who honored us with this wonderful award:




We received this special badge from
AFSS, Boondocks, Arwen and Nyxie, and The Thuglets. We are truly humbled because we really don't think our blog is that special. There are so many truly inspiring blogs out there that so deserve this award. We thank our friends for being so kind to us.




Happy Thursday to all - we are very thankful to have you as our friends.

Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara

  2. Hi Phantom :
    Good answers to the questions, and I too think you are "hot" in the very best way. You have those beautiful eyes and seem to like to look at people's faces, or thats what it looks like to me. You are one of my favorite blogger pups!

    Kisses,
    Stella

  8. OH, that was fun to read...and learn more about you, Phantom! The photos are fantaboulus as always! I'm a senior citizen too (13 1/2) and sleep more than I'm awake, but mommy thinks that's ok as long as I'm breathing...that's all it takes to make her happy ;-) that and eating - eating has been a struggle as of late, but we always manage and at the end I get a treat or two, so that's an incentive.

    Have a great rest of the week and hello to your furiends and humans too - from Gizzy, aka Gizzyfer, aka Pekeaboo, aka Momma's boy or mommy's little Flap Jack! (how embarrassing!)

    p.s. Yes, I am very hot - I'm a regular hot dog - in every sense of the word ;-)

  14. Phantom, we love you and we enjoyed your answers very much! Lilac says to make them work for everything, but I say if some chicken presents itself, to eat it without hesitation. You are definitely hot! If you've got it, flaunt it!

  31. Can I call you Phanny? You can call me Pippy! You did a most excellent job and I know this must have been a little difficult for you. Oh, and of course, my mom is squealing about all your beautiful pictures.

    Your pal, Pip

  32. We always considered you more of a gentleman and a scholar than a 'hottie.' but we also believe in the gracious acceptance of all compliments! Hope you are feeling better and eating better, now that you're safely home. Really enjoyed TD's & Ciara's contributions to the Picnic in the Bark, too. And mama stares with intense longing at your super clean house! Something for everyone on your blog :)

  36. Congrats on your awards! We liked reading your answers. I think it's funny how the humans always come up with such silly names for us. Mom calls me Boo more than she does Holly, and poor Khady is Stinka Binka. I have now idea where she got that one!

  41. We all think you're very special, Phantom. You're a handsome fellow now, but you sure had dark furs when you were younger. Tsar says he understands how you feel about food, it's just not that special, but something you have to do.

  42. Phantom, even though I am a fan of girls ruling the roost, I have to say that as the oldest, you should get first dibs on the air conditioning vent.

    Ps. Don't tell Wilbur because he's the oldest in our house and I dont' want him to get any ideas about pulling rank.
