A Big Brothers Work Is Never Done

Always the concerned older brother, Franklin decided that Ralphie needed a complete physical exam. Well, we all know that the only thing Ralphie hates more than going to the vet is going in the cage that takes him to the vet. Because of this, Franklin decided to complete the exam himself.


Franklin soon found out what a mistake the rectal exam was.


We don't call Ralphie "the Gas-Man" for nothing!

Happy Birthday Baby


Happy birthday Ralphie. Today you turned two.
Such a big boy now.

Sadly Ralphie had too many birthday Temptations and his party had to end early!

Happy birthday anyway, love Franklin, Clifford and Karl
(not Louise, she still hates you).

While this scene may look perfectly natural, Louise napping on the sofa,
the bigger picture was far more shocking .....

Is that Louise napping with Ralphie? It can't possibly be, Louise hates Ralphie and Louise does not cuddle with anyone!

Hold on to your bootstraps, it gets even more disturbing .....

Unbelievable!

Rainy Day Blues

Tempers were flaring this rainy weekend.
Both Franklin and Ralphie were not happy about being stuck inside during the summer thunderstorms.
After their fight, Ralphie was willing to forgive and forget, Franklin was not!
It's not easy being Frank.

Big Brave Boy

Ralphie has been with us for just over a year now, and in that time he has come a long way. His most notable accomplishment is conquering the great outdoors. Well, sometimes he hides, crying like a little girl, but when there is no one else around, Ralphie is master of the yard.

Ralphie's other achievements include controlling his farts, keeping a clean butt and making Louise love him, well, at least tolerate him.

Here's too many more years of us being together Ralphie!

Vandalism And The Great Escape

Ralphie, who has only ever known the great indoors, gathered all his courage and made his way outside, just like his brave brothers and sister. This was not a planned adventure, but rather a surprise to the rest of us.


Of greater surprise was the $100 in damage Ralphie did to the patio screen door in order to get himself outside.


Feeling guilty, Ralphie is trying to pay back the $100 by doubling as an alarm clock, waking the entire house every morning at the crack of dawn. Thank you Ralphie, especially for those early morning wake up calls each and every Sunday morning.

St. Patrick's Day Shame

Not since New Year's Eve has Ralphie partied with such enthusiasm.

His official name may be Ralphie Shamus, but since St. Patrick's Day ....

We now call him Ralphie Shameless!

Ralphie Rings In The New Year

As New Year's Eve wound down, the partying was starting to take a toll on Ralphie.

Too many belly rubs and a few too many wrestles with Clifford.

New Year's Day was not pretty, and neither was Ralphie.
Recovery was slow.

Now sober, Ralphie has declared his New Year's resolution to .....

Party all the time! Party all the time! Party all the time!

Captain Ralphie

Arrrrrr matey, this is Captain Ralphie.
Give me your Temptations and other treasures.
I had a parrot on my shoulder, but Louise killed it. Wench!
I must go walk the plank to the litter box, to do my business, lethal business.

Happy Birthday Baby Ralphie

Still sporting his spiffy THINK PINK campaign fashions, Ralphie posed for his birthday photo. That's right, this October 15, 2008, Ralphie turned one year old.

It has been an exciting birthday for Ralphie. Brother Franklin and sister Louise stayed inside all day. Ralphie then had real tuna for birthday supper, which will inevitably lead to birthday gas. Ralphie only turns one once, so might as well throw caution to the windy. Ralphie's favourite part of the day was when Auntie Karen brought him a bag of presents, the best being a laser toy. Ralphie is now feeling his mature age, as he chased the laser dot until he collapsed from exhaustion.

Happy Birthday Baby Ralphie.

Emerrrrrrrrrgency 911

Last Thursday evening, with the assistance of the local fire department, near disaster was averted. Without warning, the carbon monoxide detector started to screech it's warning call. Everyone furry was rounded up and put in a room with an open window. 911 was called. Once on scene, the fire department could not detect any carbon monoxide in the air. So what noxious fumes were present, causing the alarm to signal? The fire department said they did not know, but we all did .....

Ralphie lay a gasser.

A big one not even he could deny.

My Name Is Franklin

My name is Franklin and I am a Temptations-a-holic. I was first introduced to Temptations a couple years ago by my Auntie Trish, who gave them to me as a Christmas present. Turkey flavour, I think. Anyway, it started out as an occasional treat, but now I can't get enough. I want them morning, noon and night.

Everyone says I have a problem, especially now that I have brought my baby brother into the life. I don’t think there is any hope for recovery for me, but maybe for Ralphie. He gets the squirts from Temptations, so maybe that will be enough for him to walk away.

As for me, the only 12-Steps I am interested in taking are to the bowl of Temptations, and that is exactly what I did.

My name is Franklin and I am a Temptations-a-holic.

Blueberry Massacre

Who is responsible for this devastation? So many innocent blueberries lost. Was this an unfortunate accident at the paws of a well-intentioned blind guy, or maybe a clumsy orange dude? Or, perhaps it was an intentional stomping by an angry girl. So many possibilities, but what about this guy later seen fleeing the scene of the crime?

Presenting Ralphie


Welcome Ralphie, the newest addition to our family. Everyone, except Louise, is delighted with the arrival of Ralphie. Clifford has a new friend that actually likes to wrestle more than he does. Who would have guessed that was possible? Frank has someone new to lick and slap around. Louise, well, has a reason to make pig sounds, as only Louise can do.

Ralphie arrived June 3, 2008, from the Lincoln County Humane Society. Having spent two months at the shelter, where they named him Missy, like he was some kind of a girl, then taken to the vet and emasculated the day before moving to his new home. Definitely a rough couple months, but things are much better now.

Ralphie, aka the Gas Man, McLovin, has arrived. May the force be with us all!
