Fat Tuesday - Mardi Gras

 Hey Mom, who are you calling FAT?  Okay, maybe I got a LOT of treats for posing with the Mardi Gras beads but I am NOT fat!!  Oh...okay....you didn't mean ME!  

Today is Fat Tuesday! Fat Tuesday marks the end of Mardi Gras and is a day for eating rich foods Here is the Wikipedia description

The terms "Mardi Gras" (pronounced /ˈmɑrdi grɑː/, "Mardi Gras season", and "Carnival season",[1][2][3][4][5][6] in English, refer to events of the Carnival celebrations, beginning on or after the Epiphany and ending on the day before Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday" (in ethnic English tradition, Shrove Tuesday), referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season, which started on Ash Wednesday

We can think of some yummy, rich, fatty foods we would like to have like stinky goodness and temptations!

My beads kept falling down..

Here's a better look at them and my little white chest spot!


We're also sharing a graphic that a blogging pal made for Angel Allie years ago.


And Raz wanted to share his photo too.

Too bad the pandemic put the squash on the par-tay in New Orleans this year but we saw on the news that it hasn't stopped the celebration after all - they're having YARDI GRAS - everyone decorating their yards like floats! Hope you all have a FUN time at home celebrating.

Hugs, Teddy

We considered having S & P do Fat Tuesday, but since they did that here last year, they went in another direction. Sure hope it is okay that Stinky asked Periwinkle to go steady? Noelle, you look precious here in your beads. Sawyer sends head bonks and whisker kisses to Noelle.
