Hotel Accomodations

Posted on

Last week, once again had to deal with Roxie and a certain..hmph, hmph …reoccuring problem. That meant a litter box in my front room upstairs. Naturally Roxie was better in a few days but still felt the need to have an extra bathroom in her house. These cats…they lead a good life. Fancy Feast, outdoor lounge area and filtered water. A dog’s life often refers to the worse. Guess a cat’s life should be a slang term referring to all thing luxurious. At least Roxie thinks so.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you pet owners out there!!

Boys and Their Toys

Posted on

I just found out my nephew Evan, just over one year old, is starting to walk. Evan likes to dance, so does Roxie, she loves music of all kinds. Evan like his “cousin” Jean Claude also likes to make noise. Give Evan a spoon and a pan and sit him in the middle of the floor and bang – bang/pop pop. Recently I’ve had a few deliveries…this has meant empty boxes much to Jean Claude’s delight and while he can’t quite manage a spoon he does love the sound of the box as he pounds against it with his paws.

A Moveable Feast or Simply “Gone Fishin”??

All They Need is the Tartar Sauce

One of my wonderful co-workers and her husband have three furry creatures…and now also an aquarium full of fish. She sent this photo along with the caption “All they need is the tartar sauce.”

This is My House – Dog Gone It

Right now I have two buckets and a trash can, collecting water from my roof. A mishap I feel would have been avoided had I determined (after seven visits, several leaks and now two ceiling collapses in eleven years) that my roofer and likely my roof were not to be trusted. I have now discovered Angie’s list. The result of this dilemna, buckets leaking water means that Jean Claude and Roxie no longer visit me in my bedroom. Roxie who liked to cuddle and watch movies has been particularly disturbed by this development. She visits me frequently when I’m in the kitchen and has a forlorn and puzzled look on her face. The other day when I bent down under the kitchen sink she hopped on my back for a ride. A guilty pleasure up until now she reserved for my daughter CCL. I now have to bounce around on all fours to accomodate la chat. (please note I have Angie’s List -DC on speed dial)

When the Cats Are Away

Roxie and Jean Claude are at their other residence. I miss them but I do welcome the chance to reclaim my home.  When they go to CCL’s house,  I undercover furniture and put away their toys and their scratching posts .  I visit them at CCL’s house.    We all need time for solitude and renewal.  It allows us  to  recapture our spirit and reflect on the many blessings from God.
