Flowers from Around Town Friday

Welcome to another edition of Flower Friday!!
We have tons to show you this week, so let's jump right in!!

Pretty Farmers Market Flowers

Here is a White, Yellow and Purple Iris we found one of our walkies!

Our fuschia flowers are all starting open and bloom!!

It seems every time Mama comes home from shopping she has a new flower hat for me to wear!!

Mama took a ride up to the mountains (WITHOUT ME!) and found these beautiful lupines.

Mama really loves these lupines because they remind her of the Bluebonnets we used to see during Spring in Texas!!

Wrapping up this weeks Flower Friday we have blooms from one of the mini rose bushes in our very own backyard!!

Thanks for joining us for another Fun Flower Friday!!

What's Blooming in your Backyard this week??
Hop aboard the Flower Friday Blog Hop and show us!!!

Arty here today, enjoying a beautiful day with my lovely and talented best gal and Number One Campaign Manager, Mabel. First, we want to let you know most of the questions you asked on Monday have been put into the pool for Debate Tuesday! I promise we will get to all the questions during the course of the campaign. Plus, this will give everyone an an idea of how my running mates stand on the issues!!

Mabel advised that it was important that we answer the Mayorz question though:

Murphy and Stanley asked:

We are wondering what media you will be using in your campaign, specifically if you will be appearing on any talk shows?

Good question!! I am happy to announce I'm in talks to appear on The Daily Dog Dish hosted by Princess Leah and MaggieMae!! I am hoping all the candidates will be able to join me on this very controversial talk show!! I have to say, they ask some pretty personal questions and I am a bit nervous!! Stay tuned for station and time information!!

One final note, I had my assistant put together a button for my campaign! Please feel free to grab it for your button collection!!

Oh yeah, Dory says to remind you tomorrow is the Flower Friday Blog Hop!

Introducing, Debate Tuesday!! That's right, every Tuesday the candy dates will answer five questions concerning their platforms!! For the first three Tuesdays the candy dates will be asking the questions of each other. After that, we will be answering YOUR questions!!

So make sure to ask us questions in the comments, and, no worries, we should be able to answer all of them during the course of the campaign!!

Make sure to visit all the Candy Dates!

Now, On to this Tuesday's questions, submitted by Christmas!!

What is your campaign slogan and why is that your slogan? If you don't have one, what would your slogan be if you made one?
Christmas: My campaign slogan is "death for Vacula" because obviously, Vaculas are the worst thing ever.
Arty: My Campaign Slogan is “Keep Blogville Fun”. I love hosting parties, dances and contests (you might be able to tell that from the rest of my answers ;-)

Lexi: I haven't decided yet. Slogans are so limiting. I want options, don't you? But if I had to chose one right now perhaps Peace Be with You would be fitting.

If you become mayor, how will you announce it on your blog?

Christmas: I will do a long post about how grateful I am to Blogville for their support and I will give my mommy a big slobbery kiss on the face for being my awesome assistant and always supporting me.
Arty: After I thank all of Blogville for their support, I hope to host an Inaugural Ball. In fact, no matter who wins, I will most likely have a big pawty of the winners choice!!
Lexi: Fireworks. Definitely, fireworks. The fireworks may even have my face in them. I'll have to work on that - or work on Dad to work on that.

How will you advertise your run for mayor and will you do it alone or recruit others?

Christmas: Around my blog, I like to post fun campaign posters. The ladies love my handsome hound dog face! Oh, and I've actually recruited my pal Oreo as my campaign manager.
Arty: I have a great team I am working with Mabel (from the Idaho Pug Ranch), my Campaign Manager and my brother Jakey is my Press Secredude! I hope to be on at least one talk show (I hope my running mates will join me, but more info on that later!). Dory has promised me at least 2 days a week of Blog-Air time so anything is possible!
Lexi: I have posted my platform and have started posting some of the very best reasons to Vote for Lexi! on my own blog. I wanted Mom to hang posters around our neighborhood but she said that wouldn't help. It is early in the race, and I am still weighing my options for my team. There are so many good bloggers/friends out there, I must choose wisely.

What will you do about the tree rats and Vaculas that are ruining our country?
Christmas: I will send out a notice to all tree rats that they must stay in their trees so we won't have to chase them back up the trees 87 times a day! Oh, and about the Vaculas? I think if our police squad here in Blogville is strong enough, they can help destroy all Vaculas.
Arty: If I become Mayor, one of the first groups I will form will be a Tree Rat S.W.A.T. Team. We have a definite Squirrel Cartel problem that needs to be addressed! I agree with Christmas and, as a Junior Police Officer, I can assure Blogville we will keep the Vacula problems to a minimum!
Lexi: Tree rats? I don't think we have any of those around here, unless you are referring to those cute, cuddly squirrels that populate my backwoods area. I will listen to my future constituents about what they want done, if anything. I support vacuums' right to come out of the closet. Can't we all live in harmony?

How will you get Blogville members involved? What events/activities would you plan in Blogville?

Christmas: Every three months, I think I would do a seasonal post where every Blogville member that wanted to participate could send in a photo of them enjoying that season and we would share it in one big post.
Arty: I am very lucky that my Mama can do the Photoshops really good, and my brother Jakey is teaching me lots about Pizap and PicMonkey. I hope to have a few campaign events. Right now, Dory and I are helping Mama organize the B.A.R.. We hope to have a BBQ this summer, and of course, the Summer Olympics are coming up!!
Lexi: I think we could all go on trips together. We have already tried digging tunnels, and that didn't work really well; instead, we could use big boats to visit across the oceans and do fun cruise things on the way.

So Happy to be Nominated!!

I just wanted to formerly accept the nomination to run for Blogville Mayor. A big thank you to Mayors Murphy and Stanley, former Mayoress Madi and Blogville's Original Mayor Frankie

for their prior service and for announcing my nomination today!!

As we all know, it takes a good team for a successful campaign, and I have tried my best to put together a good team!!

Mabel and I will be working very closely together to make sure we gather all the information on what Blogville wants in their new Mayor. We have a "in the furs" retreat scheduled for this June!!
