Actively Seeking a Luchador Mask

What’s a Luchador mask, you ask? Have you not see Nacho Libre? Jack Black at his finest. *snort* It’s essentially the story of Don Quixote, if you’re familiar with that classic, but on film. Nacho is a luchador, or a wrestler.

Luchador on the piano — This is my son’s luchador mask that his uncle gave him. So there’s one in the house. Somewhere.

And why on earth would I want a luchador mask?

Let’s start over. Today is This ‘n’ That Thursday, a blog hop hosted by 2 Brown Dawgs. It’s a mess o’stuff I didn’t get to earlier in the week. Today (tonight, rather) is also the deadline for the treat giveaway, so GO ENTER IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY!

Now. About that mask.

I saw a photo online that made me think of the mask. My son was spending the night with a friend, so I texted him to ask where his mask might be:

Luchador text — Texting teens is always … fun

Feel the love? I have no idea where the mask is. I am NOT going into his room without some kind of full body armor and a gas mask, so I settled for a panda mask I made this weekend.

Dog in a panda mask — Poor Patches. I had to give her a piece of Big Paw Jerky after I took this off. The dog tolerates most things, but a mask is where she draws the line.

Stay tuned …

This week we’ve all been adjusting to Petey the duck being gone. His new mama says she’s enjoying watching Petey run with her goats, that it’s pretty hilarious to watch, so I’m sure he’s feeling more like he’s at home out in the country. Jimmy has been more affectionate since Petey has been gone. Climbing all over me and plenty of love nibbles.

Duck on my back — Little Jimmy Dickens, Duck Commander

Even the dogs are benefiting from Petey’s departure. There’s only one duck to bite them when they’re outside, so they’re spending more time in the backyard. Ryan hasn’t figured out the whole attack thing with the dogs, though he has it down pat with the chickens. He’s only now discovering plenty of things. Like pears:

The goose likes pears — Ryan usually shies away from my hand and what I offer, but the chickens were tearing into my pear and he was curious. One bite and he was attacking the chickens every time they came near for another bite. Ryan Gosling likes fresh pears.

And selfies on the phone camera:

In a goose's mouth — Ryan is actually trying to eat my phone. The girls were all away for the night and I was sitting on the grass. He’s a timid goose, but very curious.

This goose just kills me. I love him muchly.

Humperdink is recuperating well. He’s in his cage for the next week, which gives the hormones time to settle. It’s also a relief for the dogs. Flash and Patches can’t believe their luck, a rabbit in a cage and not in (or on) their faces. It must be a vacation! A dog vacation!

My pretty senior Aussie — Isn’t he a beautiful boy? I’m not biased or anything. *cough*

I think I’ll give them a treat. They deserve a treat for putting up with chickens, ducks, a goose and a rabbit. Oh, and mama with a panda mask. I think I have some Steer Sticks around here somewhere …

Speaking of Steer Sticks, don’t forget to enter the giveaway while there’s still time! And if you don’t win, there’s always next week! Or, if your dog likes something different, head to Natural Dog Treat Shop and find what he’d like, yes?

Until I write again …
