A while back I posted this picture in a Weekly Photo Challenge.
A fellow blogger, who I just made acquaintance with, Jots from a Small Apt. has asked for more. Being the accommodating sort, I am more than happy to oblige. By the way, Jots runs a fine establishment and is worth a visit or 200 or so. There is background to this upcoming cuteness though.
The date, December 29th. Lori and I had just pent a pleasant night in Banff, Alberta. We were checking out of our hotel, intending to spend the day skiing at Sunshine Village, a great hill, apparently, as I have never made it there. We had just finished and Lori’s phone rang. It was our son, the owner of Vader, calling to tell us that Vader had gotten away from him, the gate was open. That ended the skiing, before it started, and we headed home. The next 90 minutes were a blur as we raced back to Calgary to hep find the missing. We searched and searched, but had the foresight to report him to the city as missing. After 5 hours of looking, we got a call, he was at animal services, and had been pretty much since he had gone missing. We knew he was not the type to take off, and apparently had gotten out and went to the wrong door to get let in, maybe 2 doors down in a townhouse condo. The people opened the door and took him to animal services. Terrible day. So now the more part. Vader’s mug shot.
I was lucky enough to meet Jots a while ago, and I’ve enjoyed her company since.
Vader looks hardcore in that mugshot.
He is evil incarnate. He is a bit worried about the criminal record though, could limit his travel. I see Hayley favourited those tweets.
Sadly, she didn’t follow me.
Hope she checked out your post though!
Not so’s I can tell. She did favorite a couple of ours though, so that’s cool.
At least one of my readers said she picked up the album after the song and liked it.
You’re a tastemaker, John!
Had a nice chat with Lou, nice people. As for tastemaker, you win some, you lose more.
You have more hits than misses on your music posts.
In other John Made Me Do It, we’re actually pondering if we can afford a week in Paris around July 4th.
Because it’s the closest concert Caro Emerald has scheduled.
Loved Paris, at least as much as you can if you are only there for 18 hours. Caro would be a great excuse. You should see who else is playing close by.
Wife wants to see sights and things.
Hmph.
Eiffel Tower is amazing at night. The view is unbelievable. Once you get past the street vendors, “bling, bling???”
With you, JP, on Eiffel Tower at night. Say what, El G, you stall???? Paris at night or day is awesome. I’ll pack for you……
Jots
PS: Thanks for the mug shot of Mr. V…..and the mug-plug!
You’re welcome Jots.
As I “look you over” JP, I keep looking at precious Vader (sidebar) and the wonderful picture (not the mugshot…the 1st one). Brings such a smile to my face every every time….and a spring in my attitude and general well-being. Once again…you’ve made my day!
I’ll have to have him as a regular feature lol. And you’re welcome.
