We were having a memorial service for dogs we have loved last night.
Sorry you missed the snot rag party, but you participated in spirit this morning.
I raise a toast you the memory of your lost but beloved fur baby.
Good! The rest of the castle environs shouldn't be too hazardous, but you'll have to be aware of the construction, as we are trying to get things ready for our next lift off.
I'm sure you'll find everything to your liking, here. We have our own beer, wine and whiskey, if you are so inclined! We also have some game out in the forest if you care to indulge. But take care at the moat...I'm not sure what is in there, now.
(I'm sure NicknamedBob can fill you in on that, once he returns.)
;o]
Hiya!
I read the stuff from last night...I didn't have any photos to post, but yah...I've had to say goodbye to s couple of pets. Not easy.
How are the Girls today?
Hi Monkey,
I'm doing well. The girls are splendid.
I had to make a trip to the basement this morning, Jackie made the descent with me.
Jackie snatched a sock out of the laundry hamper. I told her "No sox", she shook it once and dropped it.
Progress. The sock fetish may be becoming a thing of history.
Solly gets sweeter by the day.
The girls send a big wet kiss.
Thank you, from a little person.
I couldn't sleep last night for the sound of kloaxon's in my head.
Give them each a big hug for me and scratch their ears.
I'm glad the Sock Monster is being tamed! LOL!
Am I still on the ping list.
I've haven't been getting notifications.
Welcome, We are the underbelly of FR.
I send them your pat, hugs and scratches.
How's your kitty, your grandson and yourself?
Hobbes is aloof, as always, but she knows where her food comes from!
My grandsons are all MIA...nothing from their parents in two weeks or more.
And me? I'm trying to adapt to the sudden onset of "unscheduled" monsoons...otherwise, life is GOOD!
(Thanks for asking!)
It's actually raining in Arizona.
What do they get 1/4 inch a year. I can spit more than that.
Of course being a lady, I never attempt to prove it.
My girls are definitely not aloof, infact they dog my steps and they have a serious case of curiosity.
I usually wash my hair leaning over the bath tub. My hair is too long and too thick to be able to do it effectively in the shower.
The other day when I was engaged in hair washing in my disadvantaged position, Solly shoved her head over one side of the bathtub, Jackie shoved her head between my legs and over the tub.
Nosy little gals wanted to see why Mom's head was foaming.
It was a very compromised position. Talk about feeling vulnerable,
I almost fell in.
Sounds like a federal government boondoggle waiting to happen.
:)
Arizona (this part) actually gets about 12" of rain a year (as compared to Las Vegas's 3") and is therefore quite "green." The storms we've had the last few days have stayed mostly to the south and east, but last night, we had a real light show for about 90 minutes. The humidity yesterday was about 33%, which is the highest it's been since I moved here.
We get rain mostly in February and March, and the monsoons of July and August, but the monsoons are fast moving and warm and fill the gullies and arroyos with flash flooding. We have a Stupid Driver Law here, which means that if you are stupid enough to try to cross a posted "flood" and have to call 911 to get you out, you WILL be given a ticket. And a bill for emergency services.
Sounds like the Girls give you a lot of pause for reflection on what life would be like without them! LOL!
*snort* Everybody teases me about Arizona, but I love it here, and doubt that I will ever leave for long.
I had to live for a while without a fur baby, and it wasn't a fun time for me. Of course, Hobbes is so good at her job of guarding the sliding glass door, that I often forget she is here.
Once in a while, on her way to the food or litter, she will detour under the desk and rub my legs, but she will just keep on going.
My neighbor has two black pugs, and they sort of make up for a lot of ignoring on Hobbes' part. That is, if I can catch them on their way out. LOL!
"...Dog's won't allow you to ignore them."
That's because dogs are people in funny disguises. Whereas, a cat will always be a Viking....
I've never owned a cat but just about everybody I know has one.
Cat's are as unique from one another as they are from dogs.
There are imperial cats, crazy cats, doggy cats.
One of my friends has two. The female loves me to wear Cinnabar perfume, the male likes Youth Dew.
They never come to see me at the same time. My perfume dictates which one lands in my lap.
