A Christmas message from Omar Blue, Babee and Ma

 
 
I had to spend time with Ma for Christmas. It's our special time.
 
Babee came back to K-9 Town with me to celebrate with my pack. We have a big party every year.
 
As usual, Santa will make our puppies his last stop, so he can stay for the party. Here he is last year, having a ball, dropping it like it's hot, haha.
 
 
This year's party is going to be even bigger.
 
In the meantime, we have a message for you. We wish you the very best Holiday Season you've ever had.

 
 
 
 
Love to all!

Omar Blue - The How and the Why


 
 
My deceased companion, Omar Blue, became so much more.
 
He was my confidante when sadness would surely have closed in on me. As a puppy, I realized how lonely I'd be one day, due to his natural life expectancy.
 
As he got older I began to write about what I perceived as his qualities. A born leader.

Because of this, his mighty pack and K-9 Town came to be.
 
He's always just a thought away and there's no limit, as you see, to my imagination.
 
 

Thank you for letting me share my thoughts with you.
 
Love to all,
 
Ma

Omar Blue, Chihuahua Taco and Family Love


Hi everyone. We’ve been pretty busy lately.
You’ve met one of the K-9 Town Chihuahua families, no nonsense (sometimes) Paco, feisty Conchita and their pups, Lee, Lii and Luu, the puppy leaders.
 
Well, Paco and Conchita came to me with a problem.
 
They wanted me to find a way for Paco’s uncle, Taco, to visit K-9 Town.
 
 
They hadn’t seen him in a long time and missed him very much. Taco had never met Lee, Lii and Luu, which was something that weighed heavily on them.
 
Family is something we treasure here at K-9 Town, so I immediately started thinking about how I could make this happen.
 
In addition, the females had gathered.
 
They had heard stories about uncle Taco’s life and how he and his human Mom, Jackie Stewart, helped others trying to keep their communities safe. As usual, the females were ready to offer some of their one-of-a-kind nurturing.
 
The K-9 Town males, stayed back, smiling and making jokes, knowing that the females would get their way, though in this matter Paco and Conchita didn’t need their support.
 
All of us relished the thought of hearing some of the “Tales of the City” that Taco would surely tell.
 
The next step was to contact Ma and my baby brother, Babee Blue.
 
Ma agreed that we had to get Taco to K-9 Town. She contacted Taco’s mom Jackie, who agreed it would do Taco good to get away for a short time, though she would miss him very much.
 
Babee was soon on his way. He was looking forward to seeing his little friend and getting him to K-9 Town.
 
When Babee arrived, Taco was surprised to see him because their usual meetings were done travelling through Facebook. “Hi Babee. It’s good to see you. What’s up,” he asked.
 
As Babee explained why he was there. The mention of Taco’s family at K-9 Town brought undeniable excitement.
 
 
 
After many kisses, hugs and “I’ll be back soons,” to his Mom, Taco was ready to go.
 
Then it was up to Ma!  How she does it I don’t know, because she won’t tell.
 
Babee Blue and Taco got here safe and sound.  We had all been waiting but we gave Taco a chance to visit with his family.  Paco, Conchita and uncle Taco could be heard whooping it up, until they finally were ready to share him.
 
Puppies Lee, Lii and Luu weren’t happy because they wanted uncle Taco to play with them forever.
 
He was dressed and looking quite dapper as he started spinning his tales.  Like his nephew Paco, once he started there was no stopping him.

A few of the females were vying for his attention, and they were getting it.  That cool rascal knew how to handle himself.
 
We loved it!  We all wished Taco could stay with us, but he said he’d miss Ms. Jackie too much.  I knew how he felt. I miss Ma even though we’ll never lose our connection. Ma won’t let that happen.
 
As all fun stuff must end, it was time for me to get Taco back home. We had a chance to chat.
 
The main thing is, Taco knows he has lots of family here at K-9 Town, because we’re all family. We hope he’ll visit again soon and often. He promised he would and we believe him.
 
Especially the Fiesta Sisters….
 

Come back soon.

Omar Blue and the K-9 Town Apparitions

Omar Blue

Some of our morning meetings are watched by wilderness apparitions. They are all around us. Some good, some bad.

 At times, they go after each other.

It's funny because there is nothing for any of their ghost like images to hang onto.

If you look closely, you'll see this morning's onlookers.

Let Them Know You Care

 
 
 

 

 
They feel they’ve been forgotten
We know that isn’t so
We love them more than ever
Though they seem not to know.
 
Through life’s never ending struggles
Priorities get lost
Our beloveds then take second stage
At overwhelming cost.
 
Now comes a way to bring good thoughts
That last through lonesome times
I relay your everlasting love
Through storytelling and rhymes.

“Prince or Princess for a Day”

Omar Blue, Babee and the Iron Dog Emergency

 

Babee Blue: My big brother Omar Blue came to get me. We had an emergency and had to get to Iron Dog Land, real quick.
Omar’s canine Ma and Pa, Saifon and Nitro had heard about the creatures that are coming to K-9 Town on Halloween night, looking for puppies. They always find out about stuff like that.  Omar says it’s a force that binds them to him and now I’m within the force too. Ma told me about that.
They love me too, so both of us went to convince them that they don’t need to come to K-9 Town now. Here they are, king and queen of Iron Dog Land. They don’t play!
 
 

 It took a while but we finally convinced them not to come. They’ve seen the K-9 Towners in action so really had no doubt that they would handle any intrusion. Omar says they were just looking for some action.
 
 
You may be aware of how the pack obtained the respect of the Iron Dogs. If not, Ma tells it all in “Led by an Eagle.” I wish I could have been there.
We didn’t get off scot free. Our big brother, Thor, came back to K-9 Town with us. He’s under orders that he’d better not be the one to start anything. He’s as fierce as it gets but promised he’d only be an on-looker, unless he’s needed.
Thor has eyes for a couple of the K-9 Town females and will be spending time with his good friend Wolf Bennie Ba.
Omar said, Oh Boy! When those two get together……. But he likes having Thor around anytime. He loves his big brother just like I love mine.

 
 
Anyway, it was a good surprise for Bennie. He was so happy to see Thor.
 

 
 
I’m back home now. It’s been a long, fun day. After we handled our business, Saifon took me to get cuddled by the other females, which I don’t mind at all, then Nitro came to get me.  The males wanted to make sure I wasn’t becoming a softie. I showed them a thing or two! That was fun, but the most fun was getting to run and play with my friends until it was time to leave.
What a day!
 
 
Ma’s getting the snacks. She loves hearing exactly what happened. I get the feeling she already knows, but that's impossible. Right?

Ma needs us - A new adventure



Ma: I'm happy and excited. Omar Blue and his pack have agreed to help me and Babee Blue. We're bringing their K-9 Town adventures to SOAR365.

To have a steady storytelling volunteer presence in the lives of the elderly and individuals with disabilities, that have no problem showing their love and appreciation, means more than we're able to express. So…we’re on our way!

I'm seeking agencies and organizations that would like to bring my special storytelling events to those they care about.

And even though our name has changed, our services, our commitment and our respect for you haven’t. The ARC you know is now the SOAR365 you’ll love.”

Omar Blue and Charlie "The Charmer"



A good friend and pack member forever, Charlie “The Charmer” is here at K-9 Town. My baby brother, Babee Blue, contacted him for me.

Charlie got his name, The Charmer, honestly. You can’t avoid looking into his eyes. When you do, he can tell if you are sincere, or up to no good. What a gift!

He left K-9 Town after meeting up with the Revell family. He saw that it was love at first sight when Tracy Revell looked into his eyes and he’s been living a spoiled, happy life with them since then.

That rascal. Lol.

He never stays away too long. We’re his family too, and this is his home.

There was a time when we watched over The Charmer just like we do Seers Great Dane Granny and Komondor Rasta Mama. The three of them kept us pretty busy but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Here he is, all ready to go, but waiting for a “special” meal his human Ma, Tracy, was fixing for him.


 
 We had a meeting under the Big Oak Tree early this morning. There are some creatures with bad reputations coming our way, that we haven’t met before. They will get here on Halloween night when the puppies are out handling their fears and Babee Blue and the older pups are out being fearless.



We had some planning to do. We did it.

Keeping our youngsters safe is our only concern. By any means necessary.
The inhabitants of this land know that. The meeting wasn’t about them. We all work together when we are being intruded upon.
 
 
Charlie will be staying until after Halloween so he can get in on the happenings and possibly get to use his unique talents.
 
For sure, the night will be full of surprises.
Hope you’ll join us.
 Omar Blue

Omar Blue and the Puppies' Clubhouse


Omar Blue

I've just been with the puppies for a while. They're really something. My big weakness.
They're already talking about Halloween.
"We're getting rid of all the spooky, scary things in K-9 Town on Halloween night, starting with Monster Ghost. We're bigger than we were before so we ain't gonna be afraid of him again,"  was the boast.
 


 Hilarious!  Can't wait until Halloween.
Reminiscing now, about when me and my pack were on our way to Iron Dog Land to let them meet my kin. You may recall, the mountain lions were following us, but that's a different subject. (Told by Ma in "Led by an Eagle.")
One night, in route, while relaxing and enjoying our trip, we decided the puppies were being too quiet. Here's what was happening.
 
"It’s beautiful,” said cocker puppy Joe

And the other puppies agreed

"It will make a wonderful clubhouse
 Exactly what we need."
 

 
 
Beagle baby Junior spoke up next
“We’re here for a whole day

We’ll fix our clubhouse up real nice

And have a good place to play."

 
Was Poodle puppy Dumplin’s turn to speak
 
“Let’s gather what we need.”

They all ran out together

Each trying to take the lead.

 
Somehow leader Omar had heard all this
No need to ask just how

He loved overseeing the puppies
Especially times like now.

 
They were always planning something new
Always busy having fun

That’s just the way he wanted it
Their lives had just begun.

 
Soon enough through teaching
They’d have to face this land

Strong, proud, and fearless

With the rest of the pack they’d stand.

 
The puppies had gathered their odds and ends
To make their clubhouse great

The Elders weren’t allowed in there

At the door they’d have to wait.

 
 
 As day went on, dusk came along

They went and joined the pack

They ate then told the Elders

"We’re leaving but we’ll be back."

 
They noticed not an Elder budged
Acted like they didn’t care

Couldn’t they see they were leaving

For their clubhouse waaaay over there.

 
They walked off mighty slowly
It was getting pretty dark

They could hardly see their clubhouse now

Should have left some kind of mark.

 They made it to the front door
But didn’t rush to go in

By now they were very tired

Wanting home and their “real” den.

 
The clubhouse was looking different now
Kind of spooky one might say

How could it look like this now
It was beautiful all day!
 


 They looked around at each other

What were they going to do

They didn’t want to go in there

Then they heard Omar Blue.


 
 
“Sooo!
This is the place you talked about

We weren’t to come in here

That’s right this is your clubhouse
I’ll go to sleep elsewhere.”

 
“No, no leader Omar!!!
We’re not gonna make a fuss

You’re tired and you need your rest
So come lay down with us.”

 
Omar smiling to himself
Said “How very nice of you

If it weren’t for your kindness

I don’t know what I’d do.”

 The puppies smiled at their leader
Then they jumped for joy

No longer feeling tired

What a leader, boy oh boy!

 
 Omar sat and watched them
Until their strength was gone

One by one they came to him

For an empty spot to lie on.

 
 He had told the other Elders
About his evening plans

So they could get in on it too

A pack of puppy fans.

 
 In the morning when the pups woke up
Omar Blue had already gone

Their clubhouse was looking pretty again

What do you think went wrong?
 
Gotta love them! 
 
Hope you enjoyed this excerpt, told in Ma's book, "Led By An Eagle."
 
Thanks for dropping by. Come back soon.
 
Omar Blue
