Christmas Past
Well, this is an old photo of Christmas because I needed to look at some past moments in order to rev up for the ones coming! The things is, mama is in there with her little table full of things that go to one kid or another or SOMEONE and she can’t remember what goes to whom because she...
Read MoreChristmas Past
Well, this is LAST Christmas, but I thought I might get in the mood if I looked at a couple of photos… You have to sort of reve up for holidays, no? Mama is in there with paper and ribbons and tape and things in boxes and bags and I’m not sure she even remembers what is for this...
Read MoreNot A Bum Steer!
Knickers is taller than PAPA? Holy cow…er…tamale! Well, mama was thrilled to make the acquaintance of Knickers this morning. Have you EVER seen such a splendid animal? And now, a little bit like Ferdinand, he wanders his lush pasture and leads all the others in whatever it is cows do and is saved from...
Read MorePick Up Sticks
Well, I’m catching up on my Italian news in La Repubblica because I want to find out more about why our beautiful Roma is full of garbage, neglected, forgotten by the mayor, Signora Raggi. Even I can see from my lookout point in the living room that the piles of garbage outside in the street should NOT be...
Read MoreTime, A Thief
Well, mama is quoting from a song she loves by Kurt Weil, composer of the 30s who wrote “Speak Low”, and in the song are the lyrics, “Love is pure gold, and time, a thief”… In this case, time stole my precious minutes devoted to thinking about my blog and writing it and now...
Read MoreBAFFLED!
WHERE DID IT GO? And whose hand is this? Mama doesn’t wear blue polish! Something weird is going on around here… Well, I wrote my blog today and it disappeared! I mean INTO THIN AIR, whatever that is! Please if you find it, send it to me, haha. It was called Apartment Living and...
Read MoreWinter Yoga Shape Up
Well, I’m having a stretch before my yoga practice. First, contemplate the limbs you are going to enhance, first, left paw, then right. Begin to stretch, stretch, breathing in through...
Read MoreFollow-up
WOW, you ate all that? Well, it was Thanksgiving, after all, and mama came home from the house of friends and reported that a good beef stew cooked for 12 hours overnight is a pretty good substitute for a turkey, roasted 4-5 hours or so… But, she missed the cornbread dressing, as it’s called in Texas...
Read MoreMerci, Grazie, Gracias, Thanks
Happy Thanksgiving to all! Thanks for scratching posts! Well, thanks to you all, dear readers, for your help with mama’s now-resolved tech problems. And thanks for being who you are–kind, thoughtful, and great fun-commenters on my blog. Also for the arguments! And thanks to the Guardian for this lovely...
Read MoreA Bitter Pill
So who’s the smart cookie around here, eh? Well, I have fooled mama, haha, about a gazillion times since that big anthro VET came here and told her to give me some pink pills (the second one from the top left) for 10 days! HAH. Here is what she has tried, to FOOL me into taking that HUGE round thingy: 1....
Read MoreHula Haka
(Maybe I should write about another kind of war dance!) SO SORRY, ALL BLACKS, FOR EVEN THINKING YOU COULD HULA! But I’ll bet you do a bangup job of that, too. Mama got her wires crossed between New Zealand and Hawaii…uh, oh. Overworked, I think…...
Read MoreLampo e Tuono
Well, that title is Italian for lightning and thunder, whatever THEY are, but I can tell you this: about four this dark, grey afternoon, I was sleeping peacefully on mama’s knees when BAMMO!!! I went into the air about a meter (okay, around a yard) and high-tailed it for my security blanket under the bed!...
Read MorePizza Party
e ka hula ' Well, the little grandanthros and their parents came down into our neighborhood yesterday for Sunday Night Pizza, which I have begun to call it because it’s a tradition now, even in our little French ville where mama makes it from scratch EVERY Sunday come hell or high water. Usually there is a Sunday soccer match, which is why it’s...
Read MoreFriends Indeed
WOW! An earthquake kitty! Well, mama and papa just had old friends visiting, and of course they are kitty-lovers (or they wouldn’t be here long, heh, heh…) and they rescued and adopted a kitty from the big earthquake in Italy last year in the Marche and their kitty sent me a...
Read MoreStill Shook Up
(I have to comfort mama after her traumatic event.) Well, mama is still a bit overwhelmed by having her wallet lifted, but she’ll be fine soon. I should have said, “shaken up”, but I remember hearing those songs that say “I’m all shook up” and I think that applies to mama pretty well. Still, the only thing now that...
Read MoreLOST and FOUND!
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? Well, this is really amazing. Someone is watching out for mama, I think, because after she came home last night distraught (whatever that is) about losing her wallet, she got a phone call from her doctor/friend here in Rome, at 11pm (!), who said, “A man named Miguel just called me and said he found a credit card in the street...
Read MoreLost, But Maybe Not…
OH, NO, NOT THAT! Well, this will be short. Mama couldn’t find her wallet in her giant purse this evening and thinks she may have left it at a pharmacy where she bought the last thing she used the wallet for…next door to where she and papa were having dinner. But when she discovered it was missing, the...
Read MoreUh, oh
Well, maybe you noticed, or didn’t, haha, that I forgot to offer my little kitty thoughts yesterday, but frankly, after having some anthro with a beard walk right into our house and pull out a syringe, whatever that is, full of antibiotic and then on top of THAT to have him pull out ANOTHER one full of...
Read MoreForeign Matter
My ‘security blanket’…haha. Well, the tongue thingy is still with us but I can report tomorrow on what the V-word said today when mama visits his/her office. Mama went by last week and rang the bell (the door was open) and no one showed up in the waiting room. Hmmm…not a good beginning but...
