Gone Batty 🦇

Bubsy: Oh little sissy….where you at?

Sissy: Probably in Texas at the state fair. 🎡 😉

Bubsy: Well I know you are not probably in Texas. You’re definitely in Texas! But you aren’t at the state fair. But if you stop by the fair get me a fried turkey leg. 🍗 

Sissy: In my dreams at night I’m at the state fair munching out. Have you seen the list of foods at the fair this year, bro? It’s loco!

Bubsy: Nope, I’m out of the know on this one. But I am well aware since I’m a born and raised Texan….that the state fair of Texas is a major…I mean MAJOR culinary delight. Tons of food categories to compete in. Tell us more, sissy.

Sissy: I got one word…Wagyu! It’s the new “in thing”. Back in the day Kobe beef was the “in thing”, well move over Kobe beef and make room for Wagyu beef. So does a Wagyu bacon cheeseburger deviled egg slider tickle your fancy? Or what about a beef brisket and beer stuffed pretzel? Or maybe a deep fried taco? Or for your sweet tooth…a deep fried cotton candy taco or deep fried key lime pie bombs?💣 But the ULTIMATE food creating the biggest buzz this year is the….drum roll please….El Cono Loco, which is chicken spaghetti deep fried inside a hatch chile pepper with a generous amount of queso in a pastry shell. And all I have to say is….ONLY IN TEXAS! Only in Texas would someone think to combine chicken spaghetti and a Tex-Mex pepper in a pastry shell. 🌶️ 

Bubsy: I second that, ONLY IN TEXAS! We are loco for sure. I don’t know about other state fairs but ours here is very known for deep fried everything. Deep fried twinkies, Oreos, snickers, pickles, mushrooms, jalapeños, bacon, turkey legs, and even deep fried butter on a stick. Those of you not in Texas….try to wrap your head around all that. 🤯 Enough about the food at the fair. Let’s move on to our crazy mom. 

Sissy: Oh no, she’s a complicated topic. 😬 

Bubsy: No more complicated than you are. 😉😆 It was superhero day at mom’s school this past Thursday and mom went to work as Batgirl! 🦇 

Sissy: Oh the Batgirl experience…I was fine with the costume but then she put a big bat mask over her face. That’s when I flipped out. 🦇 

Bubsy: Yep, sissy flipped her lid when mom put the mask on. 😆🦸‍♀️ Or should I say, sissy went batty! 😆🦇

Sissy: In case anyone is keeping a list of things I don’t like, add a bat mask to the list. 🦇 

Bubsy: If all that going on wasn’t enough we also experienced every season in a one week timespan. 

Sissy: Summer reappeared for about 48 hours then BAM…the storm clouds opened up and fall temperatures came back to the forefront.

Bubsy: Let the rainy season begin. Get your Uber driver on standby, sissy. 

Sissy: Mercy! 

Bubsy: Time to put a wrap on this post and get in long naps before the primetime Cowboys game. 🏈 Plus, sissy it will be a big week for us so we definitely have to rest up. We got two celebrations this week…my gotcha day and momma’s celebrating a bday too. Our pic below is a bit humorous when you notice sissy is wearing a “bat” bandana. Yep sissy, the anti bat mask little girl that she is, is wearing a bat today on her bandana. I think mom planned it that way. 😉🦇 I think mom gets the last laugh on the bat situations of the week. My bandana has a bat on it too but the bat is up near my neck and mostly covered by my fur. Anyway, have a great week, try not to go batty. 🦇😆

Stay Grounded

Bubsy: Well hello there, and just like that it’s Sunday. Also known as football day. And today…the last day of summer! Are you ready for fall, sissy? 

Sissy: I think so. I’m pumpkin spice and everything nice! 🎃 

Bubsy: 😆….you must be kidding, you are rarely nice. Anyway moving on, pack your bags and go nowhere, sissy. 

Sissy: Ha-ha, no kidding. Pack your bags and be stuck at the airport ALL day. 

Bubsy: For those that live under a rock or do not live in our neck of the woods….Friday was a bizarre day in our state. The telecommunications system failed! I mean FAILED! 

Sissy: They say it just “failed”…but I say….someone hacked our great state! Someone was trying to take us down. But you can’t take Texas down! We are bigger than that attempt at chaos! 

Bubsy: As sissy alluded to…the complete failure of the telecommunications caused the airports to go into panic mode. Without communications they had to halt all flights. Flights already in the air had to be redirected to Oklahoma or Louisiana. And flights that hadn’t taken off were grounded. This continued for hours upon hours…more than 7,000 people were affected. Either stranded in Dallas, stuck waiting for their flight, or taken to Oklahoma or Louisiana. Even our home teams, the Cowboys and the Rangers were stuck waiting to leave for their games. 

Sissy: Well I must say….there are worse places to be stuck! Stuck in Dallas or stuck in Beirut? 

Bubsy: Good point, sissy! I hope some of the 7,000 people grounded at the airport had that same thought. 😉 But seriously, it was like the humans had to return to the 80s or 90s before computers took over everything. Moving along, but still speaking of flights….didn’t you almost learn to fly the other day?

Sissy: I wish. I tried and failed miserably. 

Bubsy: What happened? I was in the other room when this near calamity occurred. 

Sissy: I was on the counter and mom was brushing my hair. I thought she was done so I took a mini leap towards mom. She turned at the same time I was flying towards her. Next thing I know, I’m falling thru the air and mom is doing her best to try to break my fall. She then scooped me up and checked me over. I was dazed and confused. 😵‍💫 

Bubsy: I arrived on the scene when mom had just picked you up and was freaking out that you might be injured. 😱 

Sissy: Oh geez! It was quite the tumble but I was okay thanks to mom helping to break my fall.

Bubsy: Thankfully you were fine. Perhaps it’s time to wrap this up and get back to watching football, almost time for the Cowboys game. We have two pics below as we are celebrating the beginning of autumn a day early, plus we included a pic of mom and little me after she got home from pirate day at her school. I was dressed up like a pirate too. 🏴‍☠️ Wishing all a great week! 🐾

Home Game 🏈

Bubsy: It’s Sunday! Put me in coach…I’m ready to play! Let’s go Cowboys! First game at home this season. Are you ready, sissy?

Sissy: I’m as ready as I’m going to get. Ready to eat! Ha ha! Kind of sad that the Cowboys stadium’s new menu has made more news than the team this week. Anyone for some beef brisket mac and cheese? Or brisket nachos? Perhaps Fritos brisket is more your thing? Clearly we Texans love our brisket! 🐄 

Bubsy: I love smelling the brisket. We were stuck smelling brisket all day yesterday as mom made one of dad’s favorite meals in the crockpot. 

Sissy: Sure would be nice if someone offered us more than a smell. 😋 

Bubsy: I’m with you on that, sissy! Well, enough about all that useless info. Let’s talk about other stuff. 

Sissy: How about mom’s discontent over her new driver’s license picture.🤣

Bubsy: Texas drastically changed the look of the driver’s license and mom recently went to the DMV to get an updated one. Finally her new license arrived in the snail mail. The licenses have only black and white pics now. Mom said thanks to her blonde hair and fair skin, she looks invisible. 😆 

Sissy: Mom’s reaction to her driver’s license pic had dad laughing for quite awhile. 😆 

Bubsy: So sissy, this is the last official week of summer. Fall starts a week from tomorrow. What should we do to say goodbye to summer. 

Sissy: I already said goodbye. Peace out summer! Mom already decorated our house for fall and purchased a boatload of Halloween candy…which she’s hiding from daddy. 

Bubsy: I’m hoping for one more dip in my pool. But overall I look forward to fall and I love the new fall toys mom got me…I mean us…got us.😉 Sissy, it’s about that time…time to wrap this up and get on with our football watching. 

Sissy: Let’s not forget the snacks for the football watching! 

Bubsy: We can grab some snacks from our game day photo shoot earlier. Enjoy football everyone, have a great week. 🏈 

Blanket Bubsy

Bubsy: Welcome to September…welcome to fall y’all! Yes, I know it’s not technically fall…but it feels like fall here. We made it thru a two day heatwave and then in typical Texas fashion…we woke up to fall. 

Sissy: Gotta love Texas. I call it the “Texas switch”. Go to sleep and it’s a heatwave, wake up and fall greets you. Crazy! The temperature dropped 30 degrees overnight on Friday.

Bubsy: For many weeks mom has had a beach party planned to celebrate our uncle’s bday. The party was yesterday, on Saturday….the day we woke up to fall weather. 😬

Sissy: Just mom’s luck to have a beach themed party on a cloudy rainy fall day. 😉😆

Bubsy: No matter the party theme it was still quite the party, which has made me extra tired today. I was very busy getting lots of bonus attention. Which I deserve!😉😆

Sissy: As for me, I did my best to annoy grandpa. And as for grandma she was trying to get on my good side. But I let it be known I wasn’t interested. 

Bubsy: Will you ever allow grandma to be loving towards you?

Sissy: Nope, because I’m not that desperate for attention. 

Bubsy: On that silly comment, let’s change gears, Football is fully back. Cowboys lost their first game. Are you surprised about that, sissy?

Sissy: Nope! Not surprised one bit. I’m thinking they’ll have quite a few more losses.

Bubsy: Well I’m more optimistic. Based on how they played against the champs I think they might be better than we think. 

Sissy: That will be our entire city’s hope!

Bubsy: What else is going on in our world?…wait the lights are out…oh geez, literally as I’m typing this mom says she’s cold. Dad throws her a blanket and the lights go out. As in, I couldn’t see anything because the blanket dad threw landed on my head. Couldn’t see a thing until mom thankfully helped me out. 🙄

Sissy: I’m going to call you “blanket Bubs”.

Bubsy: I’m fine with that. We are both very fond of blankets. Blankets rather than towels. Nothing better than a cozy blanket in the fall and winter.  We Well we should wrap this up so we can go watch some football! Hope everyone out there has a good week and enjoys the early Fall temperatures. 🍁
