*sung in horrible 50's advert jingle style.
And trust me, that little lovebird has a beak of doom.
Love it!
And with the way cats behave, it seems pretty close to the truth.
Cat's may purr, but that's only because they are thinking about how eating your liver. When they lick you, it isn't affectionate grooming, they are trying to "get a taste".
When you trip and fall, your cat isn’t rushing over to see if you are okay.
They’re rushing over to see if you are injured enough to take down.
I thought they licked us because they think we smell funny.
The secret to good story telling is to let the characters speak. The story will invent itself from that point.
I’m sorry it took me so long to answer. I got a call from my friend, and went to help him. (It’s his birthday, today...)
We loaded his Harley into the car trailer for transport later to the Harley repair shop; then we took the camper shell off my truck; then we loaded his 900+ horsepower engine into the back of it and took it to the engine repair guy. (For some reason, there is water in the oil.)
That about did me in. I had to stop at the store on the way home, too, and that was not what I wanted. This was one of those rare times when I am oh-so-grateful for A/C!!!
I’m glad Tom’s presentation went so well! Snakes are cool. I just don’t want to own one!
After I cool off and get some fluids back into my silly self, I’m going to go take a cool shower. I can’t believe I ran off with no bottles of water in the truck....
Will you grace us with photos? LIke “Before” and “During” and “After?”
Yep. Those “Surprise! I was hiding on top of the fridge before jumping on your head” attacks are an attempt to knock us over.
Nope. We’re “Tasty Treats” to them.
Hadn’t really thought of it. I guess I could post a few when I’m done.
:o])
Whattaguy!
*smooch*
Hey, don't look at me, I used soap and water today...
Shannon loves to lick people who’ve just had a shower. Catz don’t smell like soap!
What a day you’ve had! I’m making the Chickpea Dish for supper, and hoping to get at least some of the Offspring to bed early. Clouds coming up from the north - maybe we’ll get a storm.
I’’m anxious to see him get the bike back up and running, and though he won’t be racing competitively this year, I’m anxious that the engine is working properly for the new year.
The bike has become idee’ fixe’ for several reasons...gas prices not the least. He’s just decided that it sat long enough, and that he needs to ride again.
Yesterday, we went to the local Harley dealer (HUGH place) and just eyed and envied. I have to confess, I like the bike, too! Riding pillion on a Harley is excellent!
I had a dog that did that. They do it because you don't smell like yourself after a shower (soap, shampoo, lotion...) and they want you to smell "normal."
My poor dog barked at me when I got out of the shower and dried off. He sniffed my legs in that "Whoa! What's this new smell?" pose, and decided I wasn't Mom.
Wednesday couldn’t care less, of course, but Shannon is very into washing people and things that don’t smell the way she thinks they should.
She wants you to smell like “Mom!”
Wednesday is old enough to know the “changes” humans make in themselves. I’m betting she just looks at Shannon with total disdain when she’s like that. (”Sheesh! Get a grip!”)
