Bob & The Leprechauns
When there are special days, my Mom and I like to wake up my Lazy Mouse Person and fly around to Google to see what their special logo of the day will be. Not this year, it would seem. At least not for St. Patrick's Day which is today, and our Princess Daisy used to call The Day of The Wearing of the Green Collar.
Don't be fooled by this one.
For the first time since 2003, the U.S. wasn't treated to a St. Patrick's Day holiday-themed Google logo. Ireland was, however, and it features red clover snakes in the water and swans. I hope the Irish people and their WolfHounds are feeling very special today, because I can assure you I am not.
So not only was my day ruined by Google, I have learned that there is little hope for any corned beef and cabbage in my future as well. My bro, Rusty is suffering from some intestinal bug which it seems I may have caught from him and we are both eating boiled rice. Geesh. This just isn't fair is it.
And of course, there is my annual fear of Leprechauns.
My Mouse Person and I flew over to visit our friends at Wikipedia and of course, now I am even more terrified to go outside, today - or perhaps for any time soon.
Just listen to this:
The leprechaun is said to be a solitary creature, whose principal occupation is making and mending shoes, and who enjoys practical jokes. According to William Butler Yeats, the great wealth of these fairies comes from the "treasure-crocks, buried of old in war-time", which they have uncovered and appropriated.[11] According to McAnally the leprechaun is the son of an "evil spirit" and a "degenerate fairy" and is "not wholly good nor wholly evil".[12]
You see --- a "degenerate fairy"....... Yipes. Fairies are probably pretty tricky little creatures in general, but can you just imagine the awfulness of having a DEGENERATE fairy floating around in your garden. I don't care if it is hiding crocks of gold amongst the daffodils. I'm not going outside. Period. Nope. No way.Can you imagine going outside to take care of your business, just getting settled in, and you look up and see this?
I'm too scared to even try to make that image any bigger than it already is. This is, in my humble opinion, the most degenerate thing I have ever seen.You know what? No Google Logo? No Corned Beef and Cabbage? Degenerate Fairies in our garden?
I am going back to bed.

Bob -- I hope you and Rusty feel better soon. In the mean time, here is an Irish Blessing for the both of you:
May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!
And may you not be tormented by Leprechauns! Love, Uncle Erich

Hi Bob,
Sorry to hear you are having such a bad day. I have to agree with you on the Google logo and those degenerate faries sound really scary. I'll be watching out for them. Thanks for letting me know because I had no idea! I'm hoping your tummy feels better soon, maybe you can have your mom save you some corned beef for when you feel better.
Best wishes,
Mickey the hound dog
