Hey Sammy!


HEY SAMMY!  
THIS YEAR, YOU HAD BEST HAVE GOTTEN IT RIGHT.


MOUSES!


So yesterday, as you may have heard, was the day when ol' Shubenacadie Sam makes his one and only public appearance for the year, and...


One and only?  ONLY one?  Only ONCE?  Mouses, I need to get myself a job like Sammy's 'cause quite honestly, I could do with a job where I get paid for three hundred and sixty-five days of the year but only have to appear in public once.


"SINCE WHEN DID YOU START MAKING PUBLIC APPEARANCES, SEVILLE?"


Oh quit your screechin', Peepers.  No one asked for your opinion, anyway.


MOUSES!


But since you were wonderin'...


Since you were wonderin', Peepers, I, Seville the Cat, make public appearances ALL the time.  Every day, in fact.  Sometimes by the hour!


Not my fault if there's no one there from the public to see me when I appear.


MOUSES!


But I digress.


Now back to the topic at paw.


Yesterday was Groundhog Day, and Groundhog Day is the day every year when ol' Shubenacadie Sam makes his one and only yearly public appearance.


Seriously, I have GOT to get myself a once-a-year gig like that.  MOUSES!


And durin' his once yearly public appearance yesterday, ol' Sammy my man...


Man?  Gal?  Not sure, to tell you the truth.  Never actually asked him.  Or her.  MOUSES.!


Anyway...


Anyway, durin' his or her once yearly public appearance yesterday, ol' Sammy my man or gal came outta his or her little house in that there place called Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, looked all about, and...


And...


AND...


AND SAW NOT A SHADOW IN SIGHT.


MOUSES!


After seein' no shadow, ol' Sammy declared that spring would come early and seriously, WE CAN ALL DO WITH THAT.


My gosh, I'm dreamin' of springtime already, my friends.  Dreamin' of soft breezes and sunshine and spring blossoms and...



"DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE SNOW SHOVEL WENT?"


I did say dreamin', didn't I.


Not a question.  Statement of fact.


MOUSES!

And remember:

IF IN DOUBT,

DON'T. GO. OUT.

Continue to practice SOCIAL DISTANCIN' measures

AND KEEP WASHIN' YOUR PAWS.

MOUSES!

Remember to mask up, too.

  1. I like your Sammy better than our Punxsutawney Phil. He saw his shadow and predicted six more weeks of winter. Being so much further north than us, I am really glad your winter will end sooner. You need Spring even more than us!

    1. Hmmm... I would imagine your guy, Phil, might be a little cranky on account of his havin' to learn how to spell Punxsutawney. That's a pawful, for sure. MOUSES!

    1. Yeah, you'd think he'd (or she'd) wanna get out a bit more, especially in the summer. I mean, IN THE SUMMER the weather is nice and you can go for walks and stuff. Silly to just come out once, in the middle of winter. MOUSES!

  3. Oh Seville, considering that the varmint is manhandled like crazy, and all those cameras and people...it's not a one-day-a-year job for the faint of heart, nor from any self-respecting kitty!

    1. You've definitely got a good point there, but... BUT A BRAVE MANCAT LIKE ME could handle peephandling for one day if I were to get to be nipped the rest of the year. With pay. MOUSES!

    1. We've still got the snow here, too. We had rain, and when I say rain I mean RAIN - it poured - but not enough to wash ALL the snow away. MOUSES!

  7. We like Sammy's prediction better than Punxsutawney Phil's. Especially after we got 1 1/2 feet of snow on Monday. We're so ready for Spring. :)

  8. We are so glad Sammy said spring is coming as our Punxsutawney Phil said it would be 6 more weeks. Maybe they will offset to it is like 3 weeks?

    1. Time to get out the calendars. AND the scissors. Yup, cut off a few weeks, right out of those paper calendars, and you'll be all set. MOUSES!

  9. Hi Seville! We were wondering if he gets paid the same as the weather guessers? And if he does, is the for the WHOLE year, 6 weeks, 1 Day or the 15 minutes it takes him to pop out, look around and go back in...Inquiring minds want to know...Have a marvellously Happy Day!

    1. Hmmm... HMMM... As far as I know, he gets free room and board for the entire year. I'm assumin' he gets paid for the entire year, too, 'cause if he didn't, he could claim unemployment insurance for the rest, right? MOUSES!
