COME ON HUBIE. You're not supposed to be tying up the phone lines with calls from your girlfriends.
AND you're not supposed to be napping until after your shift ends.
Selma, you've been working hard. Why don't I take over the lines while you take a break. Francine,, you just sit there and look pretty. Hubie... back to work.Rrrrriiiiinnnnnnnng.
Oh great another call!

ReplyDeleteYou know, it's really difficult to type when I'm laughing myself silly. This has got to be one of the absolute best, sweetest scenarios ever. It rivals the Thanksgiving shot of Willamena. Laurie, you blow me away w/your creativity and skill.
ReplyDeleteHubie can't help having lots of girlfriends, what with the handsome and all!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Laurie - this is priceless. Of course the Darlings are so adorable in their roles. Such earnest faces!!! Who can resist?
ReplyDeleteOkay, okay... I'll donate again.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHA!!! You've done it again.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute little babies they are!
ReplyDeleteYou're creativity with your posts is awesome, and I love coming back for more and more cuteness each day.
Thank you. :)
LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm still laughing. A FANTASTIC series. If Daltrey and Jonah had a web award, they'd award it to IBKC stat.
In fact, the three of us are getting on photoshop and making an award. We'll keep you updated.
Love,
darin
You do a great job with your cute photos!
ReplyDeleteAgain I ROFL!
ReplyDeleteWho can resist your darling fundraisers? Lisa
you are the best!
ReplyDeleteOh, Rhoda sweetie!
ReplyDeleteYou are so very somber and no one can help realize how important the welfare all the furred and feathered being at the HS are so vulnerable @ any time!
Your litter mates are so purr-fessional, you should help out other fundraising groups inspire their donors!
I love the punchlines on these. :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I note that this post was tagged "the darlings" while the rest of the family's group posts have been tagged "The Darling Darlings". Thought you might want to rename the tag on this one.
This is my favorite post EVER!!!! Too dang funny and cute. :D
ReplyDeleteThat was absolutely BRILLIANT!! The whole scenario cracked me up..Laurie, you are so creative..At first, I thought it was a bidding on the Darlings!!!If it was, I think they will be priceless... Really start once more my day in a very very good happy mood =^_^= - Thanks Jeanne
ReplyDeleteOh my! I love your little fundraiser sign! makes me want to dig my craft paper out of the moving truck and make some cat signs too. Always great pictures and cute kitties, good luck.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha! *cannot stop laughing!*
ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha! *cannot stop laughing!*
ReplyDeleteI could just eat these kitties up!! I have my three cats, and do not feel like I have the right "situation" right now to foster, but man I love the idea of "all kittens, all the time"!! Of course I would never get any work done, I would be doing photos and snuggling, so then we would soon all be out on the street!
ReplyDeleteIf we keep donating, will you keep doing these posts? I don't want the fundraiser to end!
ReplyDeleteHilarious! Laurie, you are so talented and funny. The Darlings are, well....DARLING!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, we all know that the Butterbean-counter is backstage yelling, "Focus, kids, focus! We're not going to raise eight squillion dollars fiddling around!"
ReplyDeleteRhoda needs to work on her snappy patter. "How much can I put you down for?" sounds like a bid for euthanasia! Perhaps she should make a modest request of $25 in honor of each Darling, or a dollar a day for every day you read IBKC? We'd be over the latest goal in a minute!
ReplyDeletegood grief, this is just TOO adorable. i can't stand it!! must..spend...moar....money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI called and spoke with Selma. She was very polite and gladly accepted my donation.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love how you staged these kittens!
ReplyDeleteyay! just like the fund drives on KCTS! only CUTER! thank god i get paid tomorrow. christine
ReplyDeleteLOLOL, Cute, sweet and funny. Laurie these pics are so awesome and the kitties are..what can I say? DARLING!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics. It will sure help to reach the 8000 dollar goal!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the most adorable posts ever!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, seriously this is an awesome post. If this doesn't get you over your goal I don't know what will. I am going to post a link over on my blog (although I think most of my visitors already hang out here) to this post to see if I can get you a few more donations - seriously, how could you turn them down?
ReplyDeleteI'll take one of every kitty you have and then a couple more! This is SO adorable!
ReplyDeletethe Hubie solo is just adorable!
ReplyDeleteyay for payday - gave another couple of $$ - christine
