Miss Kitty's Debut

 

Miss Kitty wants to announce that she has a feature story on another blog: http://www.twocrazycatlovers.com/blog.html. She hopes to eventually have her own column and make more celebrity appearances.

Knitting is Exhausting

Goodnight Hermann

Happy birthday to Hermann!

First, he decided a friend's work clothes were his present. They were not. Even if they do smell like a barbecue.

Then he got his birthday rubber chicken and promptly chewed her legs off. 

So as his... reward... for being such a good (?) dog he was allowed to wear his birthday tiara. 

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY HERMANN!

I need a bigger bed . . .

Miss Kitty takes over the bed we bought for Simon the 90-lb Lab.

Hobbes

Hobbes is in heaven now. We miss him.

Hobbes is sick

Please keep Hobbes in your thoughts. He's sick at the vet.

This afternoon Hobbes was diagnosed with pancreatitis, early kidney disease and possibly megacolon. We'll know more tomorrow. He'll be spending the night at the vet getting fluids and other treatment.

"Don't worry, Hobbes. I'll watch your bowl while you're away. You just get better, 'kay?"

Good Cat

Miss Kitty helps herself to the cat treats. 

Love keeps you warm

I ate . . .

I ate 6 feet of leather cord.  Al made me eat peroxide and throw up. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We are a bit late. We had two sick dogs on Christmas Day.  Happy New Year to everyone!

Hobbes Gets an Honorable Mention

Hobbes got an honorable mention in the Mochimochiland photo contest! Who knew he could knit like that? Go check out his photo.

OMG!

Did you hear, did you SMELL what just came out of Simon the Lab? It was HORRIBLE! HOOOOOOORRRRRIBLE!

Being furloughed is exhausting.

Furloughed and Snowed In

So, our elected leaders in Congress have chosen to send us home. Okay, fine, but couldn't they have waited until the weather was nicer? I mean, really. If I am going to go home on an unpaid vacation the last thing I want to do is cut and drag branches all day long (with no power to run my *electric* chainsaw, thank you very much).

Yes, that is my truck. Ugh/

Neighbor's tree in our backyard (downed power lines and all).

That's the tree. Half of it is in the yard.

That is not a bush in front of my truck. It's a pile of cottonwood branches.

So really, Congress. Next time a little better planning, please?

Bubbles

Went to a 1 year old's birthday party today (why am I so grossed out by children with food all over their faces?). They had a bubble maker there which really entertained the kids. Naturally, as devoted pet owners we thought "Our pets are our kids. Surely they would go nuts over bubbles!"

Riiiiiiight.

 "Bubbles? Really? Am I supposed to be amused? I am not. I most certainly am not amused."

 "OHMYGOSH not bubbles! Get them away get them away GETTHEMAWAYAWAYAWAYY!"

"You people can be so annoying."

Wasn't me

I didn't get up on the kitchen table and eat all the cat food.
