It’s the perfect summer day. Not too hot and not too cool. Scaredy Cat, Bob and JJ are relaxing in the backyard enjoying the fragrant smells of the flowers and the birds chirping when Scaredy Cat mentions to Bob that they need to come up with a theme for the next art challenge. Scaredy Cat says, "I have some ideas, but I want to know what you think". Bob responds with "Whatever you Want". “Whatever I want?? No Bob, I asked what you think.” Bob responds again with "Whatever you Want". “Bob, you are not making this easy,” says Scaredy Cat. “I really do want to hear what your thoughts are, please tell me”. Again, Bob says, "Whatever You Want". “I guess I'm going to have to figure this out by myself,” says Scaredy Cat. Bob replied, "Whatever You Want". By now JJ was amused and chuckled to herself. She caught her breath long enough to say, “Scaredy Cat, Bob IS telling you what he thinks the theme should be”. “What?? I didn’t' hear that!” JJ informs Scaredy Cat Bob is saying the theme should be “Whatever You Want”. “Right Bob? Bob?” I guess he fell asleep in his new hammock.

As spring is approaching (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), the community centre becomes bustling with so many great activities. For Scaredy Cat and Bob, it would be their new art class session. Of course, JJ will always tag along to accompany them and sometimes just chasing the little squirrels in the community centre yards, as well as be there for Scaredy Cat if he needs her for emotional support.
Upon entering the art room, they’ve noticed post-it notes filling their notice board under the "Weekly Art Challenge" column. The notes on each post-it were quite peculiar, and they were wondering what it is all about. Once they've settled into their seats, the art project coordinator of the community centre began the briefing.
"Welcome back everyone. I hope everyone has had a nice winter break. This will be our first art project class for this year, and I would like everyone to read the post-it notes on the board. Some may have already read them, and might be wondering what they are, right? Well, those notes will be our guide for our art project this week. The theme is ‘Silly Food and Drinks’ and I hope it will spark everyone's imagination in creating something fun, wacky, silly and whimsical by using the image of foods and drinks!!”
Scaredy Cat and Bob went to the notice board and look through the post-it notes again to get some inspirations. "This will be fun" said Scaredy Cat and Bob agreed. What is there to complain about? Anything with foods and drinks is fun for Bob!!
Here are some notes taken from the board:
• A piece of fruit in outer space.
• Pop Tart lifting weights.
• Loaf of bread at a disco.
• Rainstorm of sprinkles.
• French fries on a rollercoaster.
• Food eating another food.
• Walking taco.
• Chicken wings flying.
• Silly straws attending class
• Fruit juice in fruit jar
• Pineapple rollerblading.
• A donut riding a skateboard.
• A lemon making orange juice.
• An ice cream cone eating a Popsicle.
This week we are excited to see what you can create using the images from foods and drinks. Will it be silly? A masterpiece worthy of a museum exhibit? A whimsical creation? Surprise us!!

It was a bright sunny day when Bob arrived at Scaredy Cat's place. He noticed that JJ was outside playing with her ball. He brought along all his favourite color items as asked by Scaredy Cat. He was wondering why Scaredy Cat wanted him to bring them. Once inside he was surprised to see that Scaredy Cat had changed the color of his wall. "What's with the new wall and why are you all donned in red?" he asked. "Welcome to my newly decorated home" said Scaredy Cat. "I'm all excited to tell you that in a few days, on October 22nd to be exact, it's National Color Day here in the USA!! My wall, it's wallpaper, I didn't paint on it" he rambled on. "What's so great about National Color Day anyway and is that why you've asked me to bring my favourite color items? And looking at you I can clearly guess that red is your favourite color right?" "Yes and yes" replied Scaredy Cat. "But you're black. Why do you like red?” asked Bob. "Hmmm...just because you like blue, doesn't mean that I have to like the color that I am. I love red because red has a meaning of the total opposite of who I am, a Scaredy Cat! It is excitement, love and strength which is why it is so appealing to me. And red and black really go well together", he answered with a smile on his face.

Living in a world of color, it’s hard to imagine one that is only black and white. In fact, most people are so accustomed to living in color that they tend to take for granted the access they have to a colorful world.
National Color Day is the time to remember the joy and delight that comes from having access to every color on the spectrum. From Red and Yellow to Blue and Purple, and all the colors in between, this is the day to be grateful for and attentive to the difference that color makes in life each day. It focuses on the impact color has on each of us. Color is powerful. It can affect a mood, draw attention, even cause alarm.

It is hard to imagine a world without color. Without color, we would be blind. Doctors check for health through the color of a patient’s skin. On a late, crisp autumn morning, sparkling frost and leaves changing from green to vermillion signal a change of seasons. A flush of color in the cheeks of a friend sends a cue of her embarrassment. The streetlight turns from green to yellow to red. In the Grand Canyon, layers of sediment range in color from black to pale ash. All these signs alert us to change through color.

The following is one rendition of the perceived meaning of the assorted colors in the United States.
Red: Excitement – Love – Strength
Yellow: Competence – Happiness
Green: Good Taste – Envy – Relaxation
Blue: Corporate – High Quality – Serenity
Pink: Sophistication – Sincerity Violet/Purple: Authority – Power
Brown: Ruggedness
Black: Grief – Fear
White: Happiness – Purity.
Explore the use of color in your life. Take in the vast and ever-changing array of shades available to you. What’s your favorite color? Express yourself through color. More at: https://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-color-day...

Some of the things that you can do to celebrate the National Color Day include:
Wear your favorite color
Eat and drink only food in your favorite color for a day
Create Colorful Art Projects.
Paint a room in your house (like what Scaredy Cat did)

Colors accent our homes and feed our creativity, allowing us to express ourselves. Open a box of crayons or watercolors, and artists of any age can lose themselves in a world of their own creation for hours. This week, we want to see members of PnF celebrate colors. Create artwork using your favourite color and tell a story. Maybe it's a favourite thing in your favourite color. You can also celebrate the color of nature and what it means to you. So, lose yourself in the wonderful world of colors.

Here's the basics:

Today we find Bob, JJ and Scaredy Cat on a stage singing karaoke. JJ was smart enough to bring a pair of headphones since she knows that Bob can’t carry a tune if he tried. As JJ puts her headphones over her ears, Bob grabs a microphone as he begins to belt out, "Owl Always Love You", extremely off key. The sound is far worse than nails going down a chalk board, and that’s pretty awful! Scaredy Cat interrupts Bob’s screeching. "Bob, you do know you are singing it wrong. It’s supposed to be ‘I'll always love you, not Owl always love you.’". “Oh no, no, no” says Bob. “I'm celebrating owls since they are associated with wisdom, popular folklore, celebrations, school, special events and even love themes.” Bob goes on to explain the way to do this his way: “just substitute ‘owl’ on certain phrases and songs and that's all there is to it.” "Owl do I love thee, let me count the ways" says Scaredy Cat in his best Shakespearean voice. “You’ve got the idea! Now let's sing!” The trio then starts singing “Owl You Need is Love. Love is Owl you need.” Scaredy Cat wishes he’d brought a pair of headphones like JJ did. The sound of Bob’s singing voice is painful and is making his head hurt. Guess he’ll just have to ignore that horrible sound so that he can have fun with his friends.

In this week’s art challenge, we’re celebrating owls. How do you think you can use your creative imagination as you join in the celebration of these wise birds? You might try to come up with some inspiring owl quotes, titles, or art. Oftentimes, you’ll see owls as icons or symbols on pages. As a symbol, owls evoke victory, wisdom, or solitude. You'll often see them used on pages dedicated to graduation and other scholastic endeavors. Some may recall that there was an advert many years ago for a favorite lollipop that featured an owl eating the said lollipop. Owls have also been associated with Halloween and Harry Potter. It's a real hoot! For more creative ideas, check out Pinterest (they’ve got tons of ideas) or this site: https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/owl-themed-quotes-...

It's October and the fall season is officially here. Scaredy Cat is not really looking forward to Halloween, the event that takes place at the end of the month unlike Bob who loves it because he can get so much candy!! "You know what I love in October?" Scaredy Cat asked Bob. "I know it's not Halloween, so what is it?" Bob asks. "I love pumpkins!! Yes, you heard me correctly – I love pumpkins.” Scaredy Cat continues, “Pumpkin Day is held every October 26th and is a day to celebrate one of the most beloved and versatile gourds on earth". “Scaredy Cat sure is talkative today,” thought Bob. "Why do you love it?" Bob asks again. "I love it because of the jack-o’-lantern!! The artistry of the carver is fantastic. Only the other day I was watching the pumpkin carving contest on TV, and it was amazing to see what they can do with it." Scaredy Cat answered passionately. For a moment Bob looks at his friend before he replies, "Hey! I know what we can do!! We can all go to the farmers market and see some great carved pumpkins on display there!" Bob said. So, Scaredy Cat, JJ and Bob head to the farmers market today to find vendors who have carved pumpkins on display. The trio enjoyed their day at farmers market so much, especially at the pumpkins stalls. One vendor had a stall where visitors could try carving their own pumpkins! Scaredy Cat learned so much from the vendor about this form of artistry that he even tried carving one himself and Bob tried it as well. It was fun!!

There’s one thing that represents October more than anything else, and it’s not Halloween (though it’s involved). That thing? The pumpkin. It starts appearing on shelves and farmers market’s stands on the last week or two of September and is the herald that lets you know that Pumpkin Pies, Jack-o’-lanterns, and all the joys of fall are just around the corner. National Pumpkin Day celebrates these noble squash’s, and the history and tradition tied up in their iconic orangeness.

And if you want to learn more about the history of the “jack-o’-lantern”, head to this website where there’s all sorts of info and tidbits: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack-o%27-lantern

This week we want to see a jack-o’-lantern design by PnF members. It can be any design you like, grotesque, creepy, funny, cute, and so much more. You might want to design one that will make Scaredy Cat happy. So, let’s gather the carving tools (be careful not to cut yourself with the knife!), grab your pumpkin spice latte and pumpkin pie, and start designing.

Bob and Scaredy Cat are enjoying a nature walk in the park when at the end of the trail they find a pile of leaves. Bob being Bob, his playful side comes out and he starts tossing them around. “Weeeee!!!” he exclaims! “Fall is my favorite season”! Scaredy Cat, not being overly fond of wet leaves landing on him, starts wondering aloud why some people especially like fall. He prefers the warmer and longer days of Summer although there are some things that he likes about the fall season, such as the holidays celebrating with his friends and hooman. Bob then tells Scaredy Cat that he loves fall for so many more reasons. For starters, the leaves on the trees are changing to beautiful vibrant colors of oranges, reds, and yellows. Some people call them tree stars. The season is great for cooling off and the perfect time to break out the hot cocoa or take a road trip enjoying the colorful scenery. It's perfect for fishing and camping too. Bob then adds that fall has mental health benefits too. This peaked Scaredy Cat’s curiosity as he declares, "Oh really?" Bob adds, “The cooler temperatures and spectacular foliage encourages us to spend time in nature, which has related to improvements in our happiness, wellbeing, relationships, and sense of having a life purpose and routines. For those that don't like summer clothes and swimsuits, covering up is a great comfort. Scaredy Cat never thought about fall in that way. The pair turn around to head home and while they enjoy the scenery, Scaredy Cat asks Bob to tell him more about why he loves fall.

In this week’s art challenge, we want you to tell us why your pets love fall. Do they particularly enjoy decorating with the colors of the season? Do they look forward to the gatherings with friends and family celebrating the holidays that occur at this time of the year? Or how about cozying up with a cuddly blanket, an enjoyable book while sitting in front of a fire? On the fun side of things, there’s always putting the fallen leaves into a gigantic pile and then running and jumping into the pile! And for those that are totally looking forward to it, let’s not forget that it’s also “Pumpkin Spice” season! If it can be made into pumpkin spice flavor, it probably exists in ways we probably wouldn’t imagine.

A day out in the park is just what Scaredy Cat needed. Beautiful scenery and relaxing atmosphere. "I'm dreading the month of October" he thought to himself..."all the ghouls, goblins and creepy ghosts. I'm totally not looking forward to it". Just as he finished his thought, out hops Bob with springs on his feet. "What's going on?". Scaredy Cat looked more scared and confused. "I know what you're thinking,” said Bob. "You must be dreading the upcoming month, right?". "He knows me so well", thought Scaredy Cat. "Don't fret my friend. I have a surprise for you" he said while still hopping on the spring. Suddenly from all sides of the park, groups of cute cuddly bunny rabbits started to hop around and surrounded them. One even hops on Scaredy Cat's head for good measure. "Well, if you must know the 24th of September is International Rabbit Day and what can be more joyful than having all these cute and fluffy rabbits join us at the park?" Bob said. International Rabbit Day is celebrated on the fourth Saturday of September every year, falling on September 24th this year. Although we would love to celebrate bunnies every day, it also centers on the welfare of rabbits — while promoting a healthy environment for those raised as pets. On International Rabbit Day we are encouraged to consider, not only the companionship offered by our favorite hutch-dwellers, but the various ways in which rabbits are harmed by medical and cosmetic testing, hunting and fur farming. Yes, there is a serious side to International Rabbit Day, but you may not be surprised to learn that events are somewhat sporadic – so let your bunny out of its hutch and give it an extra carrot or two (and be sure to plan on having chicken for the family roast).

Seeing the cute bunnies hopping around them sure made Scaredy Cat happy. He's glad that Bob brought them to the park. Even JJ seems to enjoy watching their antics. Bob being Bob, he is definitely in his element getting to hop around on his springs.

To celebrate International Rabbit Day, this week we want to see artwork featuring rabbits/bunnies (even the adorable dust bunny). It can be how you spend your time with your pet bunny. One fun way to celebrate is plan a party with bunny-themed games and activities like dancing the Bunny Hop. Instead of playing “Pin the Tail on the Donkey”, you could play “Pin the Tail on the Bunny”. You can join a group that centers around the welfare of the bunnies conservation. Put on a pair of bunny ears and volunteer at the local bunny rescue. How about adopting one yourself! That would be awesome indeed, but make sure you do your research and make sure you’re up to the commitment. Your art can also show the rabbit in the wild. There are so many things that can be depicted in your art using bunny rabbits. So, what are you waiting for? Hop to it!!

Here are a few interesting facts about these hutch-dwellers:
* A female rabbit is called a doe, while their male counterparts are called bucks. The female rabbit giving birth is called kindling and baby rabbits are called kittens. Rabbit kittens are born with their eyes and ears sealed shut, and completely furless.
* Did you know that a group of bunnies is called a fluffle? Wait, what??? A “fluffle”? What on earth is a “fluffle”? A fluffle is what our neighbors to the north, in Canada, call a group or herd of rabbits.
* Here’s a fun fact: Rabbits express happiness through acrobatics. Known as the “Binky” moment, happy rabbits tend to jump up high and twist their bodies to perform cute acrobatic performances.

September is here and it's officially fall season...what a glorious season with wonderful colours surrounding you. Scaredy Cat was having a picnic outside with his great friend Bob and it seems Bob came hauling a trolley of what looks like stuffed toys. Upon close inspection, it turned out the entire trolley was full of stuffed plush teddy bears. Scaredy Cat was amazed and wondered why he brought so much.

As if sensing the curiosity from Scaredy Cat, Bob explains why he brought all the stuffed plush teddies. "Do you know what happens on September 9th?" he asked casually. "It's National Teddy Bear Day!!" he exclaimed excitedly. "Well, a few days ago was National Cheeseburger Day but I didn't see you celebrate it with hundreds and hundreds of burgers,” said Scaredy Cat. "Teddy Bears are different, it's something that invokes fond childhood memories and nostalgia. I can bet you that everyone has their own favourite kind of teddy bears...I'm sure of it" Bob said. "Did you know that the name "teddy bear" comes from former USA President Theodore Roosevelt who refused to shoot a bear during a hunting expedition? When the incident was portrayed in a political cartoon in the Washington Post in 1902, toymaker Morris Michtom saw the cartoon and made a tiny bear cub stuffed toy and put it in his shop window with a sign that said, "Teddy Bear" which became an immediate success. I don't want to bore you with the history, but you can find out more (and other interesting and fun facts) at: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_bear *** Oh – as a little sidenote, let’s not forget a couple of the most famous teddy bears around, Paddington Bear and Winnie the Pooh!

Bob continued "Did you realize that PnF has had their own teddy bear plushies since forever and in almost every round of their Fruit Machine game. I would like this week art challenge to be about teddy bears, so that means using any of the teddies available in the shops. It will be so much fun because I know a lot of our users love them so much". So, dust off your childhood teddy bear and give it a squeeze because it is National Teddy Bear Day! If there are kids in your life, consider buying (or making) them a new stuffed animal. You also can donate stuffed animals to children in hospitals and other care facilities. What else can you do with your teddy bear? Have an adventure together? Maybe have a teddy bear picnic? Passing your favorite teddy down to your own children? Do you have a collection of favourite teddies? There are so many things that you can feature in your art. We are looking forward to you showing us all those adorable bears in your entries this week!!

Scaredy Cat and Bob were busy doing their artwork at the community centre this week. With the heat still scorching outside, it's nice to paint indoors this time around. Bob suddenly mentioned that this is the last month of summer and Scaredy Cat was taken aback by that...realizing that their fun in the sun, the lovely thirst quenchers, the summer activities will all come to a halt soon when the season change...sigh....
"I'm gonna paint something fabulous today,” said Bob. "Something we can hang proudly on the walls of the community centre; something to signify summer". Scaredy Cat felt that he wanted to do his best too..." What should we paint? “asked Scaredy Cat. Bob replied, "You know, summer is all about colours surrounding us. Why don't we paint in the August Colors?" "What Colour is August? A month has a color?" asked Scaredy Cat. "I'm glad you asked!" exclaimed Bob. "I did some research (Google of course...lol) and I found out that every month and date have a unique color just as every person is unique.
The color for August is Sun Orange - a warm and—you guessed it—sunny color, perfect for a month with so many Leo birthdays. Leo itself is ruled by the Sun, and this is a powerful color, great for optimism, joy, expression, and creativity. You can't be too shy when you're wearing orange," Bob says, adding it's also a color that helps to see the brighter side of life. "Sun Orange is a royal color that signifies power and greatness. The color is associated with the sun and representative of light. Just look outside of our window. What do you see?" Scaredy Cat glances out and sure enough, the flowers are blooming in shades of sun orange and yellow. "It's also high season for sweet corn, tomatoes and cantaloupe," continued Bob, "all in shades of orange and yellow."

This week, we want to see artwork using the August colors - shades of sun orange and yellow. It can be a direct use of decos in that color or a mixture of different colours to create the sun orange color (just like what Scaredy Cat is trying to achieve). It can also be an abstract piece. It is the last month of summer, and you can do an artwork of an object, a scenery, a thirst quencher, a tribute, a pet and much more as long as it's in the shades of sun orange!! "I think JJ thinks I'm painting her! LOL!! Sorry JJ, I'm trying to do a masterpiece here and mixing these colours are not easy,” said Scaredy Cat. Your artwork may have other colours but at least 50% will need to be the August Colors. Paint away my talented artists :)

Scaredy Cat was relaxing in the garden having his favourite fruit juice when Bob arrived bringing a cooler pack. It sure is a hot day today thought Scaredy Cat..the heat was so intense throughout July. Bob unpacks his cooler and lines up an array of wonderful concoctions onto the table. Not one to be outdone, Scaredy Cat decided to bring out all of his favourite fruits and create his own thirst quenchers. Both of the friends take sips to sample their respective creations and seem to quite pleased with them. Maybe this is something that they can suggest to their friends as a tasty activity...have a party where they mix up some tasty concoctions for every pet to try while having some yummy snacks and treats. Ya gotta have something to eat while sipping on a cool, refreshing beverage. Scaredy Cat closes his eyes as he sips his fruity beverage through a straw. MMMmmm....tasty. It is definitely a thirst quencher.

For many, August means fitting in those last summer activities before the kids go back to school, when long days spent outside in the backyard or by the pool will eventually become distant memories. But don't fret too much, because there are still four whole weeks in August, and one of the best ways to fight this scorching heat is through refreshing cold beverages and lots of them.

August is a month that has the most celebrations on drinks. There's National Watermelon Day (Aug 3rd), National White Wine Day (Aug 4th), National Root Beer Float Day (Aug 6th), National Prosecco Day (Aug 13th), National Lemon Juice Day (Aug 29th) and International Cabernet Sauvignon Day (Aug 30th). So grab your preferred summer beverage and pack up for a day at the beach on National Beach Day (Aug 30th - this is a bonus lol)

This week challenge is all about a thirst quencher. What's your favourite drinks/beverages? Fruity or alcohol-based? Is it hot or cold? Blended or just mixed? Straight or on the rocks? Or maybe you fancy elaborate cocktails like Bob? Or just plain old natural H2O from the bottle? Maybe your pet has his or her own favourite drink too. Show us the kind of drinks that you like or create a magnificent cocktail or mocktail of your own. Maybe a drink that have great meaning in your life...it can be anything. Needless to say, there are plenty of ways to keep you and your friend's thirst quenched to the max as you take in the last few weeks of summer in August 2022.
Cheers!!

What's In the Bag?

[desc=0]

Scaredy Cat is in the attic and discovers that there are a bunch of bags amongst the boxes that he's never seen before. Where did they come from? And what's inside of them? He's so used to discovering neat and interesting things inside the boxes when he comes to play in in the attic but he's never noticed bags. Who put them there? And why? Does this have to do with the overabundance of lunch bags that have been piling up in PnF? Is someone trying to get rid of them?
All around town, bags are popping up. No one knows what the cause is. No one knows what's in them. Bob takes a chance on a couple of mystery bags from the local sweet shop and hopes that there are lots of treats and sugary sweets inside them! Yard sales are popping up in the neighborhoods with the bags for sale at reasonable prices. And a store opened up selling the latest in mystery bags, with the shop owner hoping that sales will be brisk and plentiful. Scaredy Cat just wants to know what's in the bag!

New skill foods have arrived for the pets and this means that there is an overstock of lunch bags all over PnF! What are we going to do with all of those bags? Does anypet actually know what's inside of them? Does each colored bag indicate a type of product inside? If your pet gets one, will they like the contents or consider it a total waste? Could there be treats and other culinary delights inside? Maybe there are seeds and other items to create a beautiful garden! Knitting supplies! Jewelry! Baby kitties! Or....trash! What will your pet find inside one of those bags upon opening it up? Can't wait to find out what the surprise is going to be!!

We welcome bella to Pets 'n' Friends !

[desc=0]

hi there. pleasure to meet you. my name is bella, and i'm an arctic fox. i'm a bit shy which can be a problem because i tend to be afraid to admit that i know more than people are aware of. due to my shyness, i like to hide out in places such as libraries and museums, along with other such places. when i'm not hiding, i like to spend time in the kitchen cooking. i'm a very creative fox so i use my creativity making tasty dishes for my friends and family. despite my shyness, i really would like to get to know you. maybe i can whip up a little cake and we can share some tea.

the "adventures" of scaredy cat

[desc=0]

*peeks cautiously around the corner*
my name is scaredy cat. if i look scared, it's probably because i am.
*what was that noise?*
everything makes me nervous. the littlest sound will cause me to shake in my paws. sometimes when i'm actually happy and purring, the sound of my purrs will scare me.
*is that a monster or is it just a shadow?*
i wish i wasn't so scared all of the time.
*runs to hide under the bed*
