What a Party! What a Party!

That's right, another party at K-9 Town, USA. Omar called the last one a celebration so he says that didn't count. He says this one was the biggest K-9 Town has had so far. He even got me involved. A good example. I'm puppy sitting cute little miniature poodle Lucy Grim. Her ma and pa don't know about the party, of course. Omar is like a big brother to Lucy. Poodle Sophie Jean and the other females can't wait to see her again. She's a little wild one. Just like Sophie when she was younger. Lucy's the youngest at the party but in the best of care. Here she is now, wearing her best bling, impatiently waiting for Omar.



Omarrr! We're gonna be late.

Remember Joe and his family's sweetie pie leonberger Scarlett. I have her tonight too. She wanted to go ahead because she knew the way and her K-9 Town leonberger family were waiting for her (See them on your right.) Here she is.



See you when you get there.

If that wasn't enough. My cousin Paula has gone out for the night and her two little cuties Buddy and Roscoe were waiting for Omar and Lucy to swing by and pick them up.  Look at them. Bling and scarf. Dressed to kill for the
K-9 Town, USA party.

Do we look good, or what.

This is what I found out about the party.

K-9 Town was all aglow

They really did it right

A big, big party going on

With plenty guests tonight.

See Lucy and Lufa

poodle and hound

Really whooping it up

Even Charlotte the leonberger's back tonight

Joe and family's partying pup.

Can you pick out Lucy Grim and Little Roscoe? I can.

Omar says this party was

The grandest they ever had

To show their thanks for the lives they lead

Cause there's nothing they would add.

The fate of their beloved K-9 Town

Is written in the sky

Their dance more like a ritual

Glowing to the naked eye.

They know what they are there for

A job they love to do

Bring in the abused and lonely

To share this lifestyle too.

When the party was finally over

Pack and friends ready for bed

I asked Omar Blue how did Lucy do

OMG!!

The life of the party, he said.

We're taking it on the road

The K-9 Town Meeting

I asked Omar Blue if he and his pack would consider helping me and daughter Joy again do a reading for children with special needs tomorrow at one of our hospitals. What you see is the meeting where he asked the pack if they would consider it. Of course they said yes, as long as we have them back at K-9 Town in a few hours. They certainly don't have to worry about that. Could you imagine them somehow getting out. Bet the children would love it though.

Like our traveling case? They don't feel anything but Omar had to tell them. They are actually helping him. Guess you can call them my consultants. Who better since my book is Omar Blue and K-9 Town, USA.

Their presence will only be known by me, but by them being there, its almost like magic the way my audiences are swept into K-9 Town as though they were members of the pack. We've yet to pinpoint the mystique that surrounds Omar and his pack but we know there is definitely something special about them. I've proven that several times. Right!

Wish us luck please, because the truth in my true tale today is that we plan to make a lot of children happy tomorrow.

Boys will be boys

What you see just below are my boys hamming it up. They had just come in and where they got all this energy I don't know, well, in Omar's case I do. He's energy packed. I hate to admit it but that's me you hear in the background. After all, they had to have an announcer, didn't they? Don't be offended, I think I threw in a tiny, weeny bad word here or there.

Dad and Omar Blue - Mano e Mano(?)

Alls Well That Ends Well. Puppy Love.

I knew there would be a party. Those organizers Lab-Dalmatian Major Diggs and Great Dane Jennie wouldn't have it any other way. The major is top dog when Omar is away. No problem there, that's why he's "The Major." Gets things done quick. I think there is something going on between him and Great Dane Jennie, no matter what Omar doesn't say. Did you see her pup in the Pack pictures to your right. When you go in he's on the bottom. Who does he favor to you?

Now to the puppies. They were having lots of fun planning to have more fun. Gotta break the new puppies in just right.

- - - - - - - - - -

While the Elders were celebrating

The newcomers to the family

The puppies were making best friends forever

Under the Big Oak Tree.

You'll love it here they promised

All we do is play

You can even come with us

We're going swimming today.

We're not gonna tell the Elders

What we're going to do

Cause we'll be right back

After the swim

They always wanna come to.

So off they went to find the pond

With their brand new kin

Not giving a thought

This was a pond

The Elders never put them in.

They decided when they got there

All in at the count of three!

But once they hit the water

They cried their misery.



Hot Springs

What's wrong with this awful pond

Why's the water so hot

Why aren't the Elders with us

If they think we're safe, we're not.

All of a sudden each started to rise

Could feel the gentle teeth

The Elders found us just in time

Or we'd be boiling underneath.

When the puppies were spread out on the ground

It was Omar Blue who said

I think you've learned a lesson today

Let's get you all to bed.

You weren't very careful

As we've taught you to be

But now you know most trouble comes

From things you can not see.

All the puppies looked at each other

They'd never do it again

Before they went into any water

They would stick a little toe in.

The new puppies were happy

When the leader Omar was through

He had looked each one of them in the eyes

Had to mean he loved them too.

My Heros

What Omar Blue told his dad and me made us happy, sad and a little worried too. No wonder the bond between Omar's pack members is so strong. They've vowed never to go back to the lives they once lived, and never to let anything disrupt the peaceful lifestyles they've built at K-9 Town. Who would try it?

Omar said we needed to know these things. I say you do too. Our secret. Read on.......

Omar Blue and Freedom for all

 

Tonight I'm telling about one of my first adventures with Omar Blue and his pack at K9 Town. I may have even told it before, but its worth telling again.

 

I shiver when I think about it, but it was mighty exciting.

 

 

Omar came in running

Faster than ever before

Didn’t even stop to speak to me

I went over to close the door.

I’d almost had it completely shut

When I suddenly became aware
Of a beautiful German Shepherd

With a hurt little dog out there.

 

 

I ran outside to help them

But he wouldn’t let me near

Then Omar appeared out of nowhere

Gotta go ma, we can’t stay here.

This is my friend “Freedom”

He just recued this pup

We’re taking him to K-9 Town

For the females to fix him up.

I know you’d like to care for him

But I don’t want you in this mix

He’s not as bad off as he seems

I should be back home by six.

But I’ll be going out again

After I explain to you

About my good friend “Freedom” here

And what we have to do.

Omar returned just like he said

But a little after eight

He said the pup was doing fine

And he was sorry he’d made us wait.

We sat down
 he, his dad and me

He started talking fast

Explaining things about K-9 Town

Its future and its past.

We’ve made K-9 Town a refuge

For canines big and small

"Freedom" is like our very own spy

And the villains know his call.

He’s found another area

Where dogs are being abused

Tonight we’re going to free them

The abusers will pay their dues.

I have to go with “Freedom”

We know just what to do

He says I’m just as bad as him

I don’t believe it though, not true!

 

 

I followed Omar Blue and Freedom that night. I shouldn't have. I was so afraid when I saw what was happening.

 

I ran home. See me running fast.

 

I later asked Omar wasn't it strange that their enemies, the tree monsters, would tell him where the villains took the puppies. Omar said they've never really hurt each other and weren't going to let outsiders come in and do harm. I said to myself, "What a good way for them to live. They all protect each other."

 

Somebody's talking about me - It's me!

Me and my girls - after a Sickle Cell fundraiser

Yep, I'm tellin all. Did an interview with popular science fiction author Pamela K. Kinney and boy was she nosey. What fun we had. Saving you a seat.

See interview at http://is.gd/JbHXBe.

Let me warn you though. Be prepared to take a journey into Pam Kinney's fantastic dreams of horror, science fiction and fantasy.

Come see what I'm doing first (ha, ha, selfish me) or by the time you finish being amazed, you'll be too tired. What a site! Thanks Pam.

The Little Bullies - Oh no!

It was after puppy training

At K-9 Town, USA

Still talking about their very first battle

When they should have been at play.

We did what we were taught to do

We fought them until the end

Tonight we’re gonna go find them

And beat them up again.

We’ll sneak out very quietly

Won’t let the Elders know

Gonna beat the baby woods monsters again

They might not let us go.

Don’t care if they don’t want to fight

We’ll fight them anyway

We know just where to find them

We can go back every day.

All of a sudden there was a sound

Oh no! She heard it all

It was schoolmarm poodle Sophie Jean

Looking over 8 feet tall.

What’s this about you sneaking away

I’ll get to that in a few

First tell me where you were going

And what you thought you were gonna do.

The puppies looked at their teacher

This was badder than they thought

The whole pack was standing behind her

How do we always get caught!

Leader Omar Blue was with them

He too was looking stern

He’d let the schoolmarm handle it

The lesson they had to learn.

We teach you for a reason, she said

Survival our only plan

But you were planning to go hurt others

Just because you think you can.

That’s not the way we do things

You know I tell you true

So change your way of thinking now

Or we’ll be all over you.

Not saying don’t protect each other

Do all you have to do

But when the battle is all over

It better not have started with you.

All the puppies were looking at Sophie

Knowing what she said was true

She was speaking for the female Elders

Don’t want “them” after you.

They thought about everything she said

Knowing that she was right

It was gonna be a long, long time

Before they had another fight.

The above is my "true tale." Now I'll let fellow author Sandra McLeod Humphrey tell her thought provoking story @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oI4uiMqa7Go.

So glad you found us Chloe

I told you Omar would be leaving soon, and he did. Now I know why. A beautiful but hurt greyhound had arrived at K-9 Town. Her name was Chloe. She didn't know how she got there. She was suddenly just there she said, after wishing so hard that she could be someplace other than where she was.

She told a horrible story of what she had been through where she came from. Sounded similar to what we hear about the way greyhounds are treated after bad people think they are no longer useful. Omar Blue, and his followers promised Chloe she'd never have to worry about her past again. She would stay at K-9 Town, USA forever.

The female Elders wanted to take her into their care right away but decided she'd be better off going with the greyhound family until morning.

Chloe couldn't believe it. She smiled at the pack as she was being gently led away by one of the other greyhounds. Omar later told me that greyhound, Mandrake, and Chloe spend a lot of time together when she's not with the female Elders. Here they are now. They've taken quite a liking to each other. Chloe is now healthy, stronger and happier than she's ever been.

Don't you wish this could be the fate of all greyhounds. There's always room at K-9 Town, USA.

Omar Wasn't Having It

I took my Omar shopping

At an upscale doggie store

He thought we were going for his food

But I intended to do more.

I'd been thinking about his K-9 pack

And how cute they all would be

Especially the females and puppies

With a few trinkets from me.

Omar wasn't having it

Wouldn't even look at me

I couldn't get my point across

I thought this time he'd see.



No way Ma.

 "Omar won't you listen

It's not that big a deal

Just some trinkets for your Pack

Don't worry about the bill."

Omar still didn't look at me

Determined to stand his ground

Then decided he would tell me

"We don't need no trinkets around.

Ma, we don't live in the city

It's more than country too

A wilderness you'll never know
No way to explain it to you.

So let's hold off on the trinkets

They may be fine one day

But right now things in K-9 Town

Are better left this way."

I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD. DUH!!

The Friendly Pack

I think I bugged Omar so much about strolling alone at K-9 Town, USA that he told me about one day when him and Major Diggs, his second in charge, were taking a walk through the woods. They knew this party for Sookie was thought up when they saw him and the major coming but that's okay because the potbellied pigs are nice and don't start trouble. They make good friends.

Aren't they cute, and so in love. Can't you tell. Omar says there were quite a few of them at the party and his pack had a ball. See what happened...

Thats What Friends Are For

One day while walking through the woods

Omar Blue and Major Diggs

Came across two friends of theirs

Mookie and Sookie

the potbellied pigs.

It was Mookie the male who spoke up first

Said come over and sit a spell

We're making a list

To invite to our party

Only those we know real well.

Of course we're asking you and your pack

And bring the puppies too

It's a birthday party for my Sookie here

Wouldn't be the same without you.

The party was fun

New friendships begun

Which is what the pigs had in mind

Cause they knew Omar's pack

Would have their backs

If the enemies came from behind.

The Puppies First Battle

It had to happen sooner or later. But their so little. When Omar told us about it I could have cried, but everyone else was so excited and happy I snapped out of it right away. The puppies have to learn how to protect themselves. I sometimes forget that they live in the wilds. I had not heard about the woods monsters. When I asked Omar, he just said, don't worry we can handle them. He says the puppies are still excited and haven't stopped talking about it yet. They're proud of themselves and they know the Elders are proud of them too.

He told me exactly what happened that day and of course I'm going to tell you. Remember though, Omar Blue and his Pack don't look for trouble, but when it comes they "handle it."

K-9 Town Puppies vs. The Baby Woods Monsters

The puppies were out playing

Training finished for the day

Then out of the bushes

Came the baby woods monsters

Gonna handle those puppies their way.

The puppies weren't afraid though

Cause they had learned just what to do

They fought like the K-9 Elders

Showed those monsters a thing or two.

Omar and the Pack were watching

But the puppies didn't know

They were busy protecting each other

The wood monsters had to go.

When it was over the Elders were beaming

Couldn't think of a better test

The puppies had passed with flying colors

Each one had done its best.

The females ran to the puppies

Some bruises could be seen

But the puppies wouldn't have it

Their battle scars were too keen.
