Goober Girl Goes to Prom & P.G.A.

In the little hamlet adjacent to GooberStan, they have a 60 year old tradition on prom night. They have what they call a Prom Walk, where all the high school aged hoomans parade from the center of town to the high school, dressed in their finest. The whole town comes out to cheer them on and see who's wearing what and walking with whom. (It's a hotbed of gossip, I tell ya.)

Believe it or not, while Stella is not a bit shy with other animals, she IS a little shy when she first meets new hoomans. So, since I went to the Prom Walk last year, my girl decided to take Stella this year to give her a chance to practice her hooman-meeting-skills. Wouldn't you know, she got a few prom dates out of the deal.

This is Jessie. It took him awhile to gain Stella's trust, but once he did, she was willing to pose with her "date". He even sneaked in a few smooches during the photo shoot. (Don't worry, Taffy. She's just being polite to these boys and promoting relations between their town & GooberStan... kind of a goodwill tour. You are still her boy!)







This is Noah, one of Lady Bug's hooman brothers. He was willing to ditch his date if Stella would only say yes to going with him to prom.



He is transported by the prospect of a night of dancing with the Stellanator. (She, on the other paw, spotted a tiny hooman toddling around with a cookie in her hand.)








This is Noah's oldest brother, Seth. He was just there to witness the festivities, but he couldn't resist posing with Stella. (She doesn't look too distraught about the puparazzi either.)


Just so you know, Stella didn't break any girl's hearts by taking these boys up on their offers to escort her to prom. She's an ardent feminist and would never turn on her sistahs!







Now for a Public Goober Announcement from the head goober.






My birthday is next weekend, and while I love presents and treats as much as the next pup, I know I'm pretty spoiled already. Plus, your love and admAireration are more than enough. So, if you feel the itch to send me a present, please consider helping out a local animal shelter or doing something for a local rescue group in place of the present. Being a rescue dog myself, I know not all pups have it as good as I do.







If you've already gotten the present or sent it out, of course, I'm more than happy to accept your gracious gift. But as I'm nearing the ripe mature age of 2, I'm more and more thankful for my hoogirl, my sissy, my Mervcat, and for all of you pups, kitties and hammies who are my friends! That's enough for me.





There. I said it. Now go enjoy this spring weather!





Goober love,
Stanley
