            Mama, promise me you’ll do everything in your power to keep me OFF ships in the future, okay?             Loulou, I promise I will do everything I can to avoid that woo-woo monster but there may be a time that it is the only solution to having you with us!      ...

              I am SOOOO relaxed on shipboard… Well, cool kitty, that’s what mama and papa kept saying to me on this sea adventure–“Loulou, you are SOOO cool, you cool kitty” and of course, more things like, “Loulou, what a good, good sailor you are” or “Oh, Loulou, we have...

To Sea Or Not To Sea

Posted by on Dec 28, 2018 | 13 comments

            Well, you know MY choice.  But do I really HAVE any? I’m on this ship and curled up in my private closet and it’s dark and warm and that’s about as good as it gets.  I don’t really get much to eat because…well…you can guess why. You never know when the waves are going to decide...

Shipping Out

                    Well, you can see I am in transito…whatever that is. If there is ANYTHING I do not like, it’s this CAGE…er…travel box. But if the drops mama sneaked between my ears start working, I’ll kick back and try not to look out of my box, or rather, try to look and...

                  TUCKED in, not BOXED in… Well, no, we are not actually boxed in, but today is Boxing Day and no, anthros are not out there pummeling one another, but instead, some might be handing out boxes of food and gifts and clothing to the needy.  The origin of boxing day is actually very...

Mama, papa and I hope that your Christmas and Hanukah and any other celebrations you may have had were full of joy and delight, family and friends, strangers and surprises. And now it’s the countdown to a new year. Adventures await! New paths will be...

            I’m doing a few exercises just in case I have to help that guy with his presents bag… Wait a minute.  The night before WHAT? That guy in the red suit?  But I haven’t left out the Scotc…er…milk and cookies and mama has given away all of our chocolate crispy cookies except some biscotti...

Joy To The World

              Dreaming of joy… Wouldn’t that be nice, to have the whole world feeling positive for a change.  Ah, well, one can dream, but maybe if we just think good thoughts and try to smile often for the rest of this year, things will be helped along. I, for one, am on my best behavior for the big guy in...

Say what? Ah, at last!  One moment longer of daylight today!  Papa is a NEW MAN!  As the days dwindle down and get darker, papa gets a bit glummer, whatever that is, and then, bammo, suddenly there is a teensy bit more light and getting lighter each day from now on and papa starts doing a jig all over the place! Well, sort of a jig.  Let’s just say...

            Are you saying that I sometimes SHED? Well, mama was contacted by a friend who has a company that advises on how to keep your home free of allergens and more. There is some very good advice on his site, so do try to take a look.  I don’t do a lot of advertising on this blog, but Mark, the owner of the...

            HEY, WE’RE NOT LEAVING FOR A LONG TIME! Whoever that was.  Gullifur??? You have to be kidding.  I mean, mama, there are puns and there are PUNS. And what did you mean when you said that traveling with me gives you pause?  Did I misspell that?  It looks as if you still have those weird appendages you anthros...

Cosmetic Quandary

Cosmetic Quandary

Posted by on Dec 20, 2018 | 8 comments

              Okay, here’s the rub:  Mama’s twin cousins gave mama lots of little cosmetics for Christmas when mama was 10. In an old cigar box because they had little money. And mama remembers that gift with great joy. And mama thought, oh, my little granddaughter would love that, too, since she is now 10,...

This post was for yesterday but WordPress was doing something to its servers so no blog yesterday. Ah, well….             So where is this guy anyway?  Oh, I get it.  I’m too eager and it’s too early.  Okay, okay, already… I’m making my OWN list and checking it twice. Just to make sure I...

Cough-y Break

Wow-making tea is exhausting! Well, taking a breather here.  Literally.  Have to help mama get over this cough so ALL of us can SLEEP. Thanks for your patience.  I think if she sucked on some nip drops, all would be well, but they are hard to find. I’m making her some honey lemon tea but I’ll be back...

            Well, sometimes I just stare at my iPad and hope my blog will magically appear. And today, I WROTE my blog on the iPad and not only did not appear, it DISAPPEARED.  So I’m writing it yet another time. As for typos, being a Typo Tilly is not quite as bad as a Typhoid Mary, but sometimes it’s close.  Mama...

Lost But Not Found

            I’ve looked all through the bed covers! No sound! Well, I wondered why it’s so quiet around here lately, so I asked papa and he said, “Loulou, your mama has lost her voice”, and I’ve been thinking about this all day.  As in, WHERE does one lose a voice, and HOW does one lose a voice...

              Well, am I surreal or WHAT? And not just because it’s strange around here with both of THEM coughing and wheezing, but also because for New Year’s Eve in our little town in France, there is always a theme.  This year it is Surrealism, as in Salvador Dali mustaches will be prevalent, I’ll...

            HEY, POST–WHERE ARE YOU? Well, I just wrote my blog and it disappeared into the ether, wherever that is. I was writing about mama visiting the doc to see if her cough is serious and it’s not and he said to suck on lemon drops and drink gallons of water and it will wear itself out. Don’t you just...
