TUNNEL TUESDAY

TUNNEL TUESDAY: TAKE A LOOK AT THEESE ONE!

Well hello there felines.  So I goes to my tunnel in the wee hours of the morn...and what do I find? There waiting for me was a yummy plate of Ukrainian food!  Can you believe it, felines?!

 

I got in closer to sniff the yummy stuff...

And then even a little closer to sniff my beloved ham...oh how I loves me ham!  Then Neytiri put a kaibosh on the whole thing!  She said she had been slaving away in the kitchen at Headquarters for days putting her Martha Stewart Baking Lessons to good use, making nalisnyky, perogies and cabbage rolls,  and that the yummy food was for my cousin Cloonski Ogorki who would be arriving from Old Country to spend Ukrainian Christmas with us...

I was instructed that I had to admire the ham from a distance and wait for Cloonski...I hope his plane isn't delayed like last year when the Snowpocalypse hit us and he was stranded in the airport...

Join us next TUESDAY felines for Ukrainian New Year's and the arrival of cousin Cloonski Ogorki

TUNNEL TUESDAY

TUNNEL TUESDAY: SNOWPOCALYPSE!

Well hello there felines.  So I goes to my tunnel in the early hours of the morn...and what do I find?  Wait a minute...my tunnel is outside in a snowbank!

And Mini-Cloon is having a hay day out in the snow too!  It's been snowing for two days and we received a record snowfall where we live and the plows have not yet made it out...

And it gets better...The woofie from next door is approaching...He is expecting an order of specialty biscuits that my long-lost cousin Cloonski Ogorki was bringing with him from Old Country.  The woofie had placed his order one whole year ago, the last time Cloonski was in Canada. 

Here he is expecting the goods...

I whisper to Neytiri to let him down gently.  You see, the snowpocalypse has affected all flights coming into our city and they have all been cancelled.  Thus my cousin is stranded and MIA with the dog biscuits...

As seen in the video, upon getting his attention, Neytiri communicates the disturbing news and the woofie starts to cry...

He exits stage left saying that next time, he will place his order on ebay...

Oh, oh.  Clooney Claus's Deers have now arrived on the scene as they were promised a perogy supper for Ukrainian Christmas tonight, we now have to break the news to them that the perogy supper is cancelled...

Upon hearing this disappointing news, they run down the mountain to order Chinese take-out...

Meanwhile my long-lost cousin Cloonski Ogorki is...

Stranded at the aeropuerto, feeling like a fool, he ate the dog's biscuits...what will he do?

Join us next TUNNEL TUESDAY for the exciting conclusion of Cloonski Ogorki's visit to Canada and our Ukrainian New Year's. 

TUNNEL TUESDAY

TUNNEL TUESDAY: TAKE A LOOK AT THEESE ONE!

Well hello there felines.  So I goes to my tunnel in the wee hours of the morn...and what do I find?  My tunnel was decorated with Ukrainian embroidery...BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE...There waiting for me was a Ukrainian sausage!  Can you believe it felines? 

After a bit Neytiri decided the sausage was ok and commenced giving it a good whapping! 

But guess what felines?  There was another surprise waiting for me by my tunnel...A special guest had appeared on the scene...It was my cousin "Cloonski Ogorki"! 

Cloonski Ogorki had surprised me and shown up at Headquarters!  He had taken the red eye in from Old Country to spend Ukrainian Christmas and New Years with us...Now for theese ones of you not familiar with my cousin...you may be very surprised at his very striking resemblance to me!  We are definitely brudders from the same  anudder Mudder!  Last year when Cloonski Ogorki visited, he hosted a sold-out seminar on the art of "Making Your Own Potato Water".  If you didn't read about theese shenanigans last year *GO HERE* 

This year, however, the cousin and I are taking it easy...Some sled rides with my team of deers, watching some action movies on Shaw On Demand, snacking on some of Neytiri's Christmas baking, a little bit of shopping at Winners, etc. etc. 

And now for a message from my cousin:
