Loulou, you know those donks will never replace YOU! Well, I’m talking about the donks who now are residing just across the street, called the Coma Cheric (a run-off rue over the large drains that take water from rains and snow and so on from our little village and empty it into the sea). And I’m...
Read MoreAnti-Freeze
You will observe that I cover my TAIL first to thaw it out! Well, it is really cold here, and I mean, COOOOLD. Every time I want to go out the garden for whatever, mama says, LOULOU, you are going to freeze your little tail and then what? And I know she means my actual TAIL, not just as in freezing one’s...
Read MoreSmart Cookie
You’d think mama would have thought this out, right? Well, actually not so smart! Mama was up the road teaching a neighbor how to bake the almond crisps (with no flour, butter, etc–a GREAT cookie) and they mixed up the dough and put them on the pan mama had brought (because the neighbor...
Read MoreThe Play’s The Thing
(Am I just a lounge lizard, whatever that is? More like a lounge Loulou…) Except in my case. You cannot imagine the time mama spends in attempts to interest me in that silly fishing rod with a fake rabbit tail on the end or that other one with what looks like real feathers, but no way, Jose. I know a...
Read MoreWho’s Oscar?
WOW, that guy can tickle the ivories!!! Well, mama and papa are in there watching a DVD called Green Book, which is up for an Oscar. Here’s the thing – papa gets a nice group of DVDs each year that are Oscar nominations because he is a screenwriter, and mama and papa take turns each evening picking out the one they’re going to watch, and...
Read MoreSunday, Sunday
Remember that Mamas and Papas song, la, la, la, “so good to me“…🎶 Well, that’s what happened here today, Sunday, when BOTH mama and papa decided that I needed an after-nap rub and papa started on my head and mama started on my little jaws and neck and I thought I was in Kitty Heaven or at...
Read MoreRed Bobbin’ Robin!
HEY, that little altitude-impaired robin is going down to visit JEAN’S garden!!! I want him HERE to ward off winter! Well, today papa peeked out and saw a little what-looked-like-a-baby robin on our terrace, just bob, bob, bobbin’ along and papa said HEY, it’s spring!!! No way, Jose. Four...
Read MoreA Sweet Beginning
(One of my resolutions was to be rubbed as often as possible, heh, heh.) Well, success, the year has started off with daily snuggles and that’s fine with me. Mama and papa just can’t pass me anywhere in the house without cuddling and touching and stroking and rubbing my tummy. ...
Read MoreNasturtium Attack!
I lift up my paws when those awful worms are near ME! Well, mama LOVES nasties, as her good friend used to call them, but not because they were nasty, but because it’s a cute name and mama’s friend loved them, too. Mama doesn’t even have to plant them any longer because they re-seed themselves...
Read MoreBaby, It’s COLD Outside
Maybe I should stay right here, no? Well, it is really cold right now because the tramontane has blown in, bringing chilly, chilly air and lots of wind. And here I am going in and out and in and out and mostly in, if you get my drift. But I WANT to go OUT. But I don’t want to STAY out. Ever get that feeling,...
Read MoreResolutions or Revolution?
I am BUSHED after that shindig! Well, these two strange people I live with managed to pull off a rather nice get-together with friends in our little village mostly because mama had two huge stashes of black-eyed peas in the freezer and that’s the heart of the party for Texans. Good fortune for all in 2019....
