Spidey and the kitty cat "fireworks"

Featuring:

The sounds and activities of holidays can give me a paws for concern but this 4th of July was different. ...or so I thought. The temps stayed in that just right to cat nap range. Too hot and the fight to sit in front of the air conditioner goes extra rounds. Too cold and its "move over that spot on the bed is MINE!". But the day was nice. The sun brought out people to look at, birds to cackle at and (joy of joys) BUGS!!! Spiders and flies and bees Oh, my! All outside on the … read more

Deep sixin' the big blue fishy

Featuring:

I got a large stuffed fish a few years ago to use as a back rest when I was watching TV. I hate those little half chair things and regular bed pillows are not enough support. Things went along swimmingly for awhile. It was comfy and easy to toss aside when I wasn't in the mood to float off in a TV daze. What I should have known was that when I wasn't using the backrest the cats were. They slowly began to take it over. I would be plopped down in front of the TV, the fish behind… read more

That's just Buffalo

Featuring:

If you stand in a doorway and look up at the jam you will get a idea of how deep the blowing lake snow can get in a matter of days.

Our lake runs fresh and deep to cool our summer and freeze into the spring. Our sponges are candy and our spicy wings have flown aro… read more

EEEEK! It's a Cy-Purr mouse.

Featuring:

I decided that it was time to change the area rug in the living room yesterday. Everything was going along ever so nicely until the thing got caught up under the sofa. The sleeper sofa. The queen sized sleeper sofa. The queen sized sleeper sofa with the (aren't you soooo... glad you decided to get) extra HEAVY duty back support insert. My little peasant frame and strength(4'11") wasn't up to the queen sized lifting requirements. I needed a plan. I began collecting wood while Fluzzy, Sno… read more

A cute pet? Around here it's acute pains.

Featuring:

Things were bad enough around here. Fluzzy was mad because Lilly (Bucket Head) took over the Pooh chair. Snoggle was mad because it is cold and she can't get me to understand why she is entitled to the warmest spot on the bed. Lilly is mad because, well... she has a bucket on her head. And then there's Pooka. She is just mad. She wants to play with her laser mouse every waking second of the day and I am just too lazy to carry it around. It isn't like she is asking THAT much. After all it … read more
