Polly doesn’t like laps very much, but if you are sitting in a chair, she wants one next to you to keep an eye on things and verify that she’s important.
One of our first two cats, Muffin, would beg and beg for whatever Bryan was eating. And even if it was an oatmeal cookie, if he begged, he at least took a taste.
He loved potato chips, and Heaven forfend he should come into the kitchen when I was using the cutting board. He demanded first right of refusal of anything I was cutting. He even ate a piece of celery one time.
He was a good boy.
I'll report this to the EOC first thing in the morning. G'night, y'all!
DP just txtd, said he’s got the girls but Mom won’t leave the airport, she’s sure she’ll get on the turnaround flight to Orlando.
You can’t tell her anything. Anyone might get the idea she’s Anoreth’s grandmother or something!
I had a cat once by the name of PV (Pi$$ and Vinegar) who would fight you for a green pepper slice!
He would even eat a bit of a peach, if that was what every one else was having.
I miss that ol’ guy. He had a brain tumor and had to be put down. He was SUCH a personality!
I was afraid that you couldn’t say toxic or tax or fax or sex or jinx or Xerxes or Xerox or fox or wax or ex or Lex Luthor or Mexican or Oaxaca or X-Box.
I’m glad that they return for an occasional consonant onslaught.
Aw, RIP PV. Sorry to hear that you lost him prematurely. Green pepper slices? That’s a new one on me. [smiles]
Jake turns up whenever I’m chopping. It’s a habit he learned from the late Ash: it MIGHT be meat! Shannon can’t be bothered.
OK, thanks for telling us. Prayers up and continuing for Old Tax-Lady!
Mimi would feign disinterest, then land her solid muscle self on your lap as if teleported there.
Sounds like MY kinda Grandma! LOL!
Glad the grils are back! I hope they brought you something fun!
Better than losing axis, as that is disorienting.
It’s been a long time since she’s been on an international trip, and she’s feeling her oats. “I can TOO spend the night in the airport! You think I’m old or something!”
When we visited Dad’s assisted living facility, she told me, “I love old people!” and I’m afraid I just stared in shock. Some of the residents there are younger than she is.
But when it happens, it looks like we’re in kyrgyzrrgystan or some such.
I haven’t seen them yet. They had some money, so I’m sure they got some things. When I went to Holland with Mom, I got a small item for each child old enough to car - Pat was just a baby.
Unnngh, I have to call some Mexican ladies to tell them there’s no Boy Scouts meeting tomorrow. Tom said there was, but I should have listened to Pat.
Put that on my tombstone ... “She should have listened to Pat.”
PV was an absolute Love. He invariably could pick out a cat hater... He would sit on the floor, off to one side of said Hater, and clean himself, nonchalantly. When the Hater was convinced the cat was no threat, the Great PV would launch himself in a weightless manner and settle like a feather in the Hater’s lap, tucking his paws for the duration!
You would have loved him!
(I REALLY need to find the photos and get them scanned...)
Unnnghness! I listened to Tom, who said there was a Boy Scouts meeting tomorrow, instead of Pat, who said there wasn’t. Now I have to call the Mexican ladies and tell them I was wrong earlier, and that’s not easy given my verb tenses problem!
When I am old I will have a short haircut and an Aston.
Jamie will give you a short haircut, and I’ll get you clothes, but you’ll have to buy your own Aston.
Jane your old Sunday School teacher said Hey this morning. She hope you get to go to sea again soon!
But I managed. “No reunion! No reunion el Lunes! Nos miraremos el 7 de Octubre!”
A couple of the leaders of the charismatic prayer group have signed up for Cub Scouts, so we may have a groundswell of enthusiasm. I hope so. More boys means more fun!
