Weighty Subjects

Posted by on Jan 31, 2019 | 12 comments

              Well, I’m finally getting the hang of this exercise stuff. You grab whatever thingy you’re using and you sink your teeth into it and pull and pull and this stretches the muscles in your neck and jaw and causes enigmatic (whatever that is) expressions that make mama laugh. Laughing is good. Then,...

Back To The Drawing Board

Posted by on Jan 30, 2019 | 14 comments

                  It’s clear how I feel about exertion, no? Well, mama wants me to exercise more, and she’s also having trouble sending her sketches to this blog.  It’s very CLEAR, if you ask me, that she needs a tutorial.  So she’s doing some sketches on the IPad with her pencil and...

            This one feels pretty good — think I’ll stay here. Well, after having helped mama with finding that video plus helping her cook for that lunch the other day, PLUS trying to get into a comfortable position to REST from all of this, I am BUSHED, whatever that means. For some reason, mama always sneaks up...

                        A little higher, please! Ahhh…             Oh, boy, Mya’s mama, the portrait artist, sent an adorable video of sweet animals giving each other rubs and cuddles (including anthros!) and I really wanted you all to see it, but now we...

Tempty Baits

Posted by on Jan 27, 2019 | 17 comments

                  Do I smell brown sugar…? Whatever that is. Well, that’s a phrase that papa’s mama (my grandmere) originated, which we have adopted into our house language, and if ever there were tempty baits in this house, it is TODAY. Mama made a tarte tatin, all caramelized around the edges...

Payback

Payback

Posted by on Jan 26, 2019 | 12 comments

            HEY! I’ve been thinking about this debacle with our shutdown, and I strongly feel that the government workers should get DOUBLE pay for the time they were not paid and had to wait for the idiots who pay them to come to their senses! That would be justice. And Nancy Pelosi could sell ice cubes in Antartica, in...

Opposites Attract

Opposites Attract

Posted by on Jan 25, 2019 | 12 comments

              Hard to argue or be radical from a warm duvet… Well, do they really attract?  Opposites?  Are we talking here about irresistible forces and unmovable objects, or what?  You see, mama has a good friend in the faraway land of Alabama and they have much in common and yet they do not see eye to eye on many...

Svelte Pelt

            Do I look like a Fat Cat to you? Well, the pelt is svelte, but the rest isn’t best, according to my very kind but truthful veterinarian, Dr Benhamdine, in Argeles (our neighboring village). 6kg 7grams!!! OMG! THIRTEEN point TWO POUNDS! And papa thought my new traveling apartment simply weighed more when he...

                    I’m getting soaked but I just had to see what all this wet is doing to Jean’s garden! Well, rain is here.  That water stuff that makes rattatat noises on mama’s skylight (actually it’s making  mud, as that thing really needs cleaning…) and the same stuff...

                  Are you saying we can’t watch that movie I chose? Mince! (A polite form of, er, darn, in French) So here is what really happened yesterday.  There was a technical difficulty but it wasn’t with my computer or my blog–it was with our DVD player that didn’t function at all...

            Oh, no… I’m going to have to give all of you a rain check, whatever that is, for another blog tomorrow.  Today’s blog had some technical problems but a guru is coming at 11 tomorrow and bring his magic genie lamp…. Sweet...

Moon Watch

                  Okay, listen up, this is it! Tomorrow morn, 4:30 am France time, get ready.  Or watch it on Google, as an astute reader suggested. You know, I think that solution may be for me, too.  This getting-up-early-in-winter is no fun at all.  It’s dark, it’s cold, it’s cloudy right...

                  Well, at 4:30 Monday morning we are going to see the moon disappear and around here they are calling it a Super Wolf Blood Moon, which, if you ask me, sounds a little scary, but then no one asked… Still. Wolf? Blood?  I can go with the moon part, and you can bet your paws I am going to be...

              WE ARE SO HAPPY FOR THIS LITTLE FROGGY! Well, mama hopes my title doesn’t date her–she thought it up when I read the article on the poor froggy who has had no mate during his whole life and who has finally FOUND his love! I AM SO THRILLED FOR HIM!  And it’s almost Valentine’s Day...

            Well, mama has so many photos of me that she sometimes help me pick out some to do my blog…especially when I’ve started late at night, ending my day, and have to sort of throw one together before I collapse from my day’s 24-hour strenuous work. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ        ...

            Uh, oh, I hear papa cookin’.  I’d better go help. Well, every morning papa does his own breakfast of three cereals, mixed nicely with a bit of salt and butter and then a little added brown sugar and milk,  and he’s also quite good at Spaghetti alla Carbonara, one of our favorites (notice the...

Winter Eyes

                  You have another opinion, mama?  Wow. Well, mama is thinking that she really needs to look at winter with another view about cold and wind and all those wintry things that happen from now until who knows when!  But mama and I both spent time in the garden today and she actually took off her...

                        Okay, okay, I play sometimes… But everyone knows that a bright yellow ‘Nana is irresistible to kitties and mama can’t figure it out. We have the biggest bed of kitty nip in our neighborhood (since no one seems to have ANY or even know what it IS) and mama...

            Being sacked out is in my nature…is it in yours? Well, some days don’t you just feel like kickin’ back and contemplating the winter’s day and the beautiful sunsets and the braying of donkeys in the distance (sort of) and the lovely smells of woodsmoke from the little fireplaces in the...

Fruit Salad Days

            (Hee-haw, hee-haw…I’m practicing.) Well, they are not exactly eating a mixed fruit salad, because donkeys cannot eat oranges, but pears and kiwis and apples yes, as is clear in this photo of Pompinette after having munched 7 carrots and 2 apples in about two minutes.          ...
