Woozle Wednesday is that day of the week when the PWBP pooties get some time off and the woozles take over the major diary duties for the evening. Woozles may take center stage, but an endless variety of other critters like a fuzzy rabbit or barnyard resident or elegant ostrich will make appearances from time to time. And we won’t forsake the kitties, who really do crave the limelight.
Well, it’s De Bait Night
… oh, wait. Debate Night? It seems the woozles have yet again gotten the wrong end of the stick. The Peeps have been preparing to engage in an exercise in democracy, informing themselves about where each candidate stands on the issues.
Meanwhile, the woozles were planning a different kind of confrontation conversation. Many of the critters have been licking their psychological wounds. Some have even made protest signs and are ready to march for their cause. Our critter leaders have been preparing for a vigorous offense. Or at least an intervention. But why are so many noses and tails and hooves and paws and beaks bent out of shape? Well, glad you asked!
No More Bait & Switch!
The woozles (and sometimes other pets) are confused. And then their feelings get hurt. Sometimes it is a miscommunication between pets and peeps. But sometimes it is a cultural difference in what each species finds amusing. The woozles and pooties DO NOT find some things amusing. What tops the list? Glad you asked! It is teasing with treats or toys (which we interpret as false promises). The woozles especially resent fake ball tosses! Well, the critters want some things to change. When do they want it? NOW.
Before we proceed to the pet-to-peeps heart-to-heart beneath the fold, we have to pause with a brief message from the Management with the Peeps rulz:
- Do not “Troll” the Pootie Peeps Diaries. If you don’t like animal diaries, there’s no need to tell us about it. Just go find some other diary more to your liking.
- Whatever happens in the outer blog STAYS in the outer blog. This is a place to relax and play; please treat it accordingly. So, no pie fights please.
- If you would like a pic from the comment threads, please ask the poster. He/she may have a copyright to those pics. Many thanks!
- There are some pics we never post: 1) snakes and creepy crawlies (some folks have phobias). 2) Any and all photos that depict or encourage human cruelty toward animals, even in jest, are considered “out of bounds” and will not be tolerated.
- If you’re not sure about an issue...please ask. Someone is always glad to help.
- Links to the Community Needs List or other fundraising diaries are always welcome here. Just links with a short explanation, please, and not the entire fundraising request, per the management.
PWBPeeps posts two diaries a day for animal lovers: a daytime diary at 1:45 pm Eastern and a nightly open thread at 10 pm Eastern. We concoct silly stories, share photos, seek & give advice about pet health and behavior issues, support each other in times of sadness and stress, celebrate together when times are good, and on most days have an inordinate amount of fun.
You are welcome to join us! Be kind to one another, we’re all in this together.
This is an open thread. The hi-jinx ensue below the fold…
