Bitten

Image

Lucy got too close to this snapping turtle when it lunged at her and bit/grazed her nose.  It wasn’t bad….just broke the skin and bled a little bit.  Hopefully she will think twice before going in to sniff a turtle in the future.

The Long Meow

Image

She really only meows at us when the water bowl is empty or she thinks her food bowl is empty.  Her meows are always long and as pathetic sounding as she can muster.

The Creation of a Monster

Lilly is not an outside kitty for numerous reasons….

Image

Glen started taking Lilly outside this last winter to see how she would react.  He has continued to take her outside and recently set her down in the nice lush grass.  She loved it.  Now we have to live with her meowing/howling to be let outside.  She has even resorted to waking us up at night.  She has become a single minded beast.  Convincing/retraining her is going to be painful for all concerned.

I don’t know anyone that can resist clean sheets.  Lilly is no exception.

Crooked

It was a nice warm afternoon and Petey was feeling kind of sleepy. 

Image

He had a hard time stifling a yawn.  It wasn’t until after I took the picture that I realized his tongue was crooked.

The Great Easter Mouse Hunt

This post really isn’t for the faint of heart.  I will just say up front…..the mouse didn’t make it.  This all happened while I was at work and Glen was home with the “kids”.  He said he heard a squeak, went to investigate and found this…..

Image

Out little chubby kitty had caught herself a mouse.  However, being a cat, she likes to play with her prey and did the typical catch and release so she could chase it some more.  The only bad thing with this is, the mouse always out maneuvers her and manages to get away.  So Glen, being a good team coach, took Lilly out of the game and put Lucy in.

Image

Lucy caught the mouse and refused to let it go, so Glen let her outside with it.  Bye, bye mouse.

She’s Blurry

She’s blurry because she is constantly on the move.  It is always exciting to be out of your cage.

Tummy Aches

Poor old Petey has been having tummy aches a lot lately.  Ended up taking him to the vet where I spent a bunch of money to find out everything was good and to just give him pepto.  I was relieved to hear the vet say his blood work was normal.  Matter of fact his blood work was so good the vet was shocked that it belonged to a 14/15 year old dog.

A Note From Abroad

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
