The Funday Furkids team was horrified by the events of January 6 and they understand why, in such uncertain times, we value security more highly than ever. That’s why they’ve produced this TEDdy Talk to inform and assure one and all that, being natural guardians, they are here to keep everyone in the family safe and secure (guardianship is extended to friends and neighbours who come bearing treats and/or pats).
Thank you Michelle. I needed this!
You’re very welcome, Rainyj.
I didn’t realize there were so many guardians. I feel safer already. Thanks, Michelle.
Thank you for stopping by. I feel all the better for seeing you!
{{{Michelle}}} – Thank you. Definitely needed this one today. Skritches to Ms. Loula & moar {{{HUGS}}}
I still can’t get over how wonderful it is to see you in comments! Scritches to the clowder.
?????BFitz?????
I’m still having to remind myself that I *can* comment. And it’s so wonderful. Even if I can’t “like” your post, you know I do. (& I did boost it over to twitter.) ??????? Michelle ??????? Healing Energy & moar {{{HUGS}}}
I’m still trying to get used to the idea that I can “upvote” comments! {{{HUGS}}}
I love this. Yes, I have spirit a guardian Cocoa. He passed in 2016. I feel his presence all the time.file:///C:/Users/Kim/Desktop/Cocoa.jpg
I know what you mean. I feel my Janzi around me sometimes. I couldn’t access your file photo. Not sure why. Are you on Twitter? If so, please find me there @Mopshell and post it for me.
I love it, Michelle! I miss having critters so much…
I went for years without a furchild so I know only too well what you mean. Are you in a situation where you could have one?
Thank you, Michelle.
You’re very welcome, Tina. Thank you for dropping by. ?

Thank you. My kitties would love to be on duty, but the frigid wasteland of the Pasadena winter (62 degrees! ?) has them retired to heating pads until the crisis has abated.
Sensible kitties! Give them cuddles and scritches for me!
Thankyou for the smiles.
You’re very welcome. ?
Thanks so much for this, Michelle. Being reminded of how the furkids protect us is like a nice warm security blanket!
Sweet roses, hello! ?
When it comes to guard dogs you wouldn’t think of a cocker spaniel being an effective one so let me tell you about Corky, the older of my “boys.” When my (then) wife and I got him he was already five months old but his owners had to find a new home for him, a long story I won’t go in to. What’s important is that his “papers” showed he’d been bred in the upper midwest where at the time (mid 80s) they were again breeder cockers as hunting dogs. Corky would grow up to be perfectly proportioned (with excpetionally long ears even for a cocker) but despite his being so sound physically breeders (in our attempts to find him a partner) told us he’d be a marvelous show dog except he was too big. The standard tops out at 35 lbs and in his prime he was forty two pounds! Still he was a (party colored) cocker spaniel and both beautiful and cute. But again, he’d been bred to hunt and had a BOOMING voice. When someone came to the door he’s sound off, and scare the hell out of people. Getting a pizza or Chinese food delivery made for a lot of embarrassed delivery guys! By the time I’d get to the door of our townhome they’d usually have back off not just from the stoop, but five or more feet back from the steps! When they saw Corky through the glass of the storm door the look on their face was priceless. Standing there thinking some rabid Doberman or German Shephard might get out when the door opened only to see a much smaller dog, a breed that’s thought of as one of the friendliest of family pets! (Note: Not true if you have young kids who might be tempted to pull on their ears) I wish I could post my favorite picture of him here. You’d love it. But through an opaque door he was capable of scaring off anyone who might ever have come to our home, or mine after the divorce (I got the dog!) who might have approached with mischief in mind.
Very fun, much needed, thanks!
You’re very welcome. ?
I make it a rule to NEVER LOL…..
*looks left*…….*looks right*….
*whispers*…….I broke my own rule.
🙂
Shhh! I won’t tell.
Oh man! LOL and tears on my cheeks! Dog left the room in dismay…. I don’t know how you put together SO MUCH in one post! These are priceless! Thank You! (Are you cross posting on DK?)
No, I’ve moved permanently to PZ where I can post more than one story a day and other nice things! ?
Thanks for making my Sunday a great day. Lots of laughs and I’m still smiling after many hours. Had to watch it more than once. You rock.
Oh Ridlow! That’s the sweetest thing to say, thank you!
Love these photos! I’ve always loved the “Guard Cat” concept!
So have I. I actually got the idea for this one while flipping through film posters so the header image you see at the top was the inspiration.
very talented and very entertaining
Thank you Jolynn! I’m delighted you enjoyed it!
LOL! Thank you, Mopsy! Is good to remember in these crazy times that our critters have our backs. Purrhaps Ms. Pelosi will return her guard cats to her chambers just in case. (I want one of those “guard dog/cat” signs!) 😀
Oh there you are! I’ve been keeping an eye out for you, my friend! And that video was such fun! I should’ve guessed Nancy Pelosi was not only a public servant but also a feline servant! Beautiful cats she has too. The Capitol Building needs Guard dog/cat signs!

Was able to click on this link which took me straight to the video.

Search YouTube for “Speaker Pelosi presents Capitol cat cam”. This comment section isn’t letting me provide the linky! 🙁
I was able to follow the link in the second and third comments – fun video!
Needed this. Badly.
This is so much fun and heartwarming. Thank you. Murf’s wife Teri. Keep it up. Much appreciated.
