Sir Qannik The Knight

We have long joked that Qannik is the Court Jester in the Royal Court of Herd. Yesterday, though, Queen Natasha knighted him Sir Qannik.

Kneel before your Queen
Kneel before your Queen

Natasha has long considered Q-Tip to be her wrestling partner and pal. Of course, she enjoys him largely because he will do whatever she says. And he loses every contest to her. What’s not to love?

I dub thee Sir Q-Tip, er, Sir Qannik.
I dub thee Sir Q-Tip, er, Sir Qannik.

Knowing the Queen and her evil ways, however, Hu-Dad thought there might be one other explanation for the paw planted squarely on Q’s head.

Don't move until I tell you to.
Don’t move until I tell you to.

    Thank you for making me smile this morning. I started smiling before I started reading. It’s lovely to visit with members of The Herd who are at the rainbow bridge.

    Mom sez: Just wondering if this is the Royal version of “I dub thee ….. “, or the Royal “put down”?

    Every Queen needs a loyal subject to do her bidding, let her win and bow before her! Congratulations Sir Qannik on your dubbing!!! You are very adorable ❤️

Q-tip loves hanging out in the yard, particularly on a rainy, muddy day like Sunday—even if it does mean he needs an undercarriage dog wash.
