NOT Shooting The Bull

NOT Shooting The Bull

Posted by on Nov 30, 2017 | 12 comments

I just sayin’…not sure there is room in this bed for a horned friend. Well, as I promised, and this is no bull, I am passing on the lovely story of the bull who was saved from the bullring by a kind and thoughtful man. And here is another link to the lives of these two.  Just in case the other link doesn’t work.  You don’t have to...

Our neighborhood’s homeless lady anthro, Emilia, lives out there, and it’s getting cold now.  I hope she will sleep indoors as I know she has a place at a church to sleep.  Everyone helps her, which is really wonderful, and as I mentioned before, she knows all the businessmen and business owners in our part of Rome and they all help her. Well,...

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE!  She’s not coming to live with US, is she?  Our bathtub is way too small!  Uh, oh, does she eat kibble? Well, today I am just going to have to ask you to look at a couple of sites that will warm your hearts and spirits, and I feel we need some of that warmth right now.  Especially at holidays when so many feel dejected and...

Nipped In The Bud

Here is the Great White and Black Tuxie with her prey–I know it’s a funny looking thing that could be something else but trust me, it’s a CIGAR, not what you think it looks like. The Great White and Black Tuxie uses all four limbs to contain the belligerent uppity cigar. With amazing prowess and intention, she shows her foe the laying...

I’m sneakin’ up on holidays just as holidays are sneakin’ up on ME! Well, it’s just around the corner.  You know, chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost (whoever he is) nipping at your nose.  He’d better not touch my nose, as it is very sensitive and any nose touching around here will be done by mama or papa or whoever...

DON’T MAKE ME LOOK AT THAT FISHHEAD GUY, OKAY? I GET HUNGRY. Well, mama and papa went to an art show by that anthro artist, Arcimboldo, who makes portraits of other anthros out of fruits and vegetables and even FISH, like this one: Or this one: They are original, that’s for sure. And sorry to be a bit skittish about this, but mama said that...

Weird Stuff

You put WHAT in the stuffing cornbread? Well, that’s that.  Thanksgiving is actually a favourite of mama’s, even more than Christmas or any other holiday except Valentine’s, which she LOVES. Appropriate.  (Hint: married on Feb 14) But this Thanksgiving, we had no turkey-takers because the little anthro-kids here in Italy are in school and...

Posted by on Nov 22, 2017 | 17 comments

HEY, this is turkey in gravy–that’s about as close as I’m going to get this year! Well, mama just wanted to mention a friend who wrote recently (Cat Solarium lady, Melissa) that a few years ago when she used to take food and clothing and other necessities to poor families at Christman in her neighbourhood in Alabama, it pretty well tore...

Feathering My Nest

Posted by on Nov 21, 2017 | 13 comments

You see what this is, right?  It’s a bird of some sort with a gigantic tail feather!  Mama brought it in here because she feels obligated to have play time with me and who am I to argue? Uh, oh, there is only the tail…no birdie!  What is this thing anyway? Tee hee hee, whatever it is, it’s tickling my neck! Sort of moth-eaten, if you ask...

Gulls And Buoys

Posted by on Nov 20, 2017 | 8 comments

Mamma, could you play that video again, please?  Gaston is SOOOO cute! Well, mama got ‘gulls and buoys’ from the doors of restroom she saw once in a hotel by the sea.  But no buoys will be discussed, only gulls, about which Mya’s maman sent the most heart-warming article from Nice Matin, the daily newspaper of Nice, France.  Unfortunately...

Too Late To Log On

Too Late To Log On

Posted by on Nov 19, 2017 | 13 comments

I’m a bit tired myself…just want to disappear into this comforter… Well, that just means that mama is so tired that she cannot help me with her usual fixing of typos and inserting of pics, etc. that I seem to rely on lately.  Our time differences (7 hours, 9 hours and even 12 hours for Hawaii!) sometimes make me sleepy when it’s...

TV or NOT TV

Posted by on Nov 18, 2017 | 20 comments

HEY, you guys–put this TV on the right station, okay?  It’s the DERBY!!! Well, all I can say tonight is definitely TV in that we are all three watching the famous Derby–a soccer match between la Roma team and the Lazio team, dire enemies and from the same town.  Each large town in Italy has two teams and people root for one or the other...

Hi, there.  Today I am turning my blog over to mama’s photos of some pretty silly but fun things she saw strolling around our beloved city, and far be it from me to judge.  But I’ll put them in anyway and just keep taking a bath, which is far more important than some of these weird photos! So here are three ladies at the Rome Filmfest, and you...

My Reply paw, going at it! Well, I am glad to say that all of you out there helped with the mystery of whether my Reply box, when used, ever gets to the anthro or doggy or kitty who used the Comments Box!  Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t.  Hmmmm. Well, I reply to all comments (except that pingback thing, whatever that is) and enjoy doing...

Hey, out there, a question:  do you get my replies to your kind and loving comments or does replying mean that I have to expect that you’ll visit the blog again where you left the comment in order to see my response?  I hope that’s not too complicated to answer and not a pain for you if you have to do that. I’m asking my guru if you will...

Well, I’m about to snooze off here, on this lovely orange softy thingy that mama uses, but she has found a smaller one for me and guess what color? Grey and black, because, guess what else?  My few hairs that I leave behind over a period of eons will not SHOW, haha. Anyway, taking of pic of me when I am right on the edge of dreaming is not my idea of...

Food Facts?

Posted by on Nov 13, 2017 | 17 comments

Oh, boy, do I need some FACTS! Now hear this, dear readers:  mama does very well on the internet when looking for healthy info about raising a sweet kitty (ie:me) but there are just too many conflicting ideas about what to put in our furry little tummies. Normally, I eat the same brand of wet and dry food, and I love it, and I am…er…regular,...

YAY, Winston came home! Well, we are all happy here to day because mamma opened her email and found The Good Life France, a magazine she loves and wrote for a couple of times, and the editor was ecstatic because her beloved kitty, Winston, gone for four weeks (!) was meowing outside her door.  A lovely story and photo of the beautiful Winston on Instagram...

Pro-crastination

Posted by on Nov 11, 2017 | 22 comments

“The Naked Maja Revisited” with apologies to Goya… Well, as you might surmise, I actually AM for crastination, if necessary.  For example, I put things off all the time by taking a nap.  Some anthros do that, too, but mamma isn’t very good at napping except at nap time, and so HER crastination seems lately to last all day long. ...
