You know Mrs. Oldman is going to enjoy her day!

Happy Saint Patrick’s day!

Happy St. Catty’s Day!

Aw, c’mon, you knew they’d be up to shenanigans today!

With this bunch, isn’t there always shenanigans?

Aww, Stella, Shawm, and Mrs. Oldman are all set for St. Patty’s day.

Floof is at home no doubt testing the luck of the Irish.

That’s an Afghan Hound, not an Irish Setter.

How long has that green donut been setting?!

May the wind be at your backs….☺️

I LOVE Stella’s tail…

(oh, and I’m doing fine, thanks! And you?)

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to everybody. For we cat lovers, Happy St. Gertrude of Nivelle’s Day.

“craic (Ireland) Fun, especially through enjoyable company, a pleasant conversation.” —from Wictionary

Seriously though, LOL, ’Shenanigan’s’ is not a name I would give to a retirement, care home. Retiree’s tend to be overly mischievous already.

Shawm, Stella and Mrs. Oldman look like they’re in a scene from A Doctor Suess film. Cute!

Great art as usual, please read Nancy B´s comment above for a bonus laugh!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all. Yes, today I am Irish!

My late, great boy, Marcel, would be 40 today. Posted his kitten and adult pics on Fb.

A special St. Patty’s Day to all the pet lovers out there!

Green bagel or doughnut with green frosting? I’ll enjoy either.

To add to Bill Löhr’s post above: Not familiar with the Irish expression “the craic”, I found this site:

I wore a green shirt under my required jacket in the hospital today with my dog, who refuses to wear anything besides her collar and leash. I need to get a green leash for next year, since I am almost entirely Irish and have the red hair to prove it. Bunny was exceptionally on point and full of energy today, trying hard to see as many people as she could. We walked in one patient room and his mother said, “Oh look! You just said last night that petting a dog would really cheer you up! Two dogs!” The young man petted the golden from the bed, and with permission I put Bunny on the bed with him, and he really did seem to perk right up with our dogs. I wish I could say my beagle is Irish, and it’s not impossible, but I don’t have her papers. The hunter I got her from kept the papers, and really, I don’t need them. He does, as he will be breeding from her line, and I had her spayed. She had puppies several times before I adopted her. Someday I will adopt one (or more) of her descendants.

Shawm and Stella are really decked out for the holiday and obviously are proud of their costumes. Mrs Oldman is beyond delighted to be joining them. I can picture their visits with the patients – everyone will be so happy and Shawm and Stella and Mrs Oldman will fall asleep in a puppy pile with Floof and Sirius when they return home!

Perfect pet therapy for this retiree who still lives in my own home! Shawm’s shamrock deely bobber and “Kiss me I’m Irish” badge made me smile. Mrs. Oldman’s attire made me laugh out loud. Happy St. Patrick’s Day, and thanks Ms. Nancy!

Happy St. Patrick’s day!
