The Blogville Portrait Hall and Administration Page

Hello Blogville!! 
Welcome to the Grand Opening of the Blogville Administration page and the unveiling of the Blogville Portrait Hall!
Before we send you through the Magic Transporter to the Administration Page,  please join us as we unveil these portraits of some of Blogville City Hall's Important Citizens!



 Our first portrait is one of the Founding Fathers of Blogville, and a friend of ours since we started blogging in 2009. Dory and I were thrilled to meet him and his brother Ernie at the BAR last June. We are so very happy he went on to become the first mayor of Blogville in 2010.  Join us in a big round of appaws as we unveil the Portrait of Mayor Emeritus, Frankie Furter!





 Our next portrait needs no introduction, as she is most likely the most famous feline in Blogville! We have also known her since we started blogging in 2009 and are so very happy we got to meet her Mama in the furs last June. 
Please join us in a big round of appaws for 
Mayor Emeritus Madi's Portrait!




 This Mayoral Team put together Blogville's Administration to make it what it is today! They created a wonderful City Council, and Mabel and I can only hope to keep it half as organized as they kept it!  I was lucky enough to meet them both in the furs last June. 
Without them,  I don't think Dory and I would have gotten into Blogville Pawlitics! 
Let's all give a giant paw up for Murphy and Stanley's Portrait!




It is hard to put into words how much Lexi's pawticipation meant in the 2016 Blogville Election and what a big space Lexi left behind when she went to the Bridge. 
Christmas and Oreo have a special dedication speech prepared for Angel Lexi's portrait.  Please transport to 
Chris's Blog HERE and 
to Oreo's Blog  HERE 
to read their dedication speech!


Would you like to sponsor someone in the Blogville City Hall Portrait Gallery?? 
Just obtain the permission, and a picture for the portrait,  from the citizen(or citizen's pawrents) and email it to 
bethblog(at)ebchristians(dot)com. We will notify you of the date of the portrait hanging so you can dedicate it!
If we get enough portraits, we will be moving the Portrait Gallery to its own page.

Endangered Species!



We are having such a great time reading about all the 
Endangered Species this week around Blogville!!


Here are the Endangered Species we chose:

Southern Sea Otters used to live way down in Southern California all the way up the California coast and even over into Russia and Japan. Then humans started using their furs to keep them warm and they almost became extinct!
Thankfully humans smartened up a little and the Southern Sea Otter population is growing again! We only have river otters by us, but Mama loves watching the Southern Sea Otters when she visits the coast a little farther south on the California Coastline.




 Western Snowy Plovers are found along the beaches from our area in Humboldt County, California, up the coast to Washington State. They nest right above the high tide area. It is believed that reduced
reproduction rate due to a mix of human and dog foot traffic and inclement weather have kept them on the endangered species list.

Jakey has a Question...

When Murphy and Stanley asked who I was going to the K-oss pawty with,  I told them I was going stag...

Then I saw her...
Her name is Abbe and she is Marty the Manx's Beautiful Woofie Sister!

I asked Mama to tie my Black Tie and help me with my invitation...
Abbe, would you like to go to the K-oss Pawty with me???



I hope she says yes...

Here is a daisy she saw by a lighthouse...and look, I bet everyone is surprised at the Lighthouse she saw....Sheesh, that woman is obsessed with lighthouses!!






Look at this azalea she found blooming at one of the beautiful Oregon rest stops



 
But out of all the flowers we saw this month here is our favorite!!



Daddy wennt out to get our mail over the Christmas holiday week and found this little bouquet on our front porch!! Someone in our neighborhood left it as a Random Act of Kindness!!
We don't know where it came from but it really made Mama smile!!


 
We hope you enjoyed our flowers this month!!
