Tuckered In

              Well, mostly I’ve heard that kitties and anthros are tuckered OUT, but this one is tuckered in.  Inside where the hot, hot weather cannot reach me!  And heaven knows why I am so tuckered in, other than that mama is, too, from not sleeping enough, but all the world knows I do NOT suffer from that, haha....

Tennis, Anyone?

                  Well, mama thinks I’m bored and so she started throwing this yellow thingy to. me over and over and it turns out I love to catch it and rabbit-punch it, so maybe she has hit on something, no pun intended. So, uh, anyone up for a couple of sets, whatever they are? Mama took tennis lessons...

            Well, I know that’s a limp pun, but mama’s artist friend, Anne, just sent these two wonderful pics of the model for one of Anne’s paintings, plus the finished product, and mama just had to post it on my blog because we are fans.  Remember the one she did of me, the one I talk to every morning?...

                  Oh, goodness me, oh, what was THAT? Oh, lordy, there was such a sudden downpour today with nuggets of something or other banging on mama’s skylight that I took off immediately for my place under the bed!  Actually I found a better place with no THUNDER!          ...

                  Well, here’s yet another you’re-not-going-to-believe-this incident from our whacky household.  As you remember, mama doused her iPad in limoncello, but it continued to work and she went blithely on until things started going bonkers. SO…a replacement arrived and she put in her...

            Well, you have to see this to believe it.  When mama couldn’t find anything in which to crush ice, she remembered the chef hat a friend gave her and that her own papa had a canvas bag in which he put the cubes to whack ’em.                   Hey, the...

              Hey, you don’t forget things in your sleep, haha. Well, now I know what that means!  Just like those professors who seem to forget whatever it is they forget. I was watching The Good Fight with mama and papa and I clean forgot to do my blog!  My little pea brain was so absorbed in all those things...

                  Oh, that is BAAAAD. I was only searching for a pun about okra, so forgive me! But you do win free with this recipe! Mama found some lovely fresh okra (whatever THAT is) at a Chinese food market and cut it into little bites, mixed it with 1 egg (beaten) and then tossed all of it with corn meal,...

                  See how much more comfortable papa would be with me, smiling and pressed up against his spine? Well, papa’s back trouble is sort of on the front burner right now, whatever that means. So debilitating for papa, but we are on our way to solutions, mine being that I will willingly sleep...

            LOULOU, DO NOT LICK YOUR CHOPS OVER A POOR LITTLE CANARY! Well, mama’s friend, Aunty Lynne, from up the street (down the street?) is taking off today for the Canary Islands after having found a very good price on plane tickets.  But this is what I have to know: Are there canaries all over the place flapping...

              Lazy, hazy days of summer… Well, one can’t always be indoors snoozing on one’s chair, so I thought I would share with you one of my favorite garden sports in which I engage with great glee. We have these nicely-warmed-up-from-the-sun stepping stones on which I LOVE to wiggle! First I have a...

              Well, a thoughtful friend/reader send this amazing article from The Guardian about goats and how they communicate so well with one another.  Would that anthros could do as well, no?  But I’m pretty good at timing my myows and snuffles and sighs and occasional howls so that mama and papa know exactly...

                MAMA, take my advice! We’ll, let’s just say “bruised” apple… The Apple store could not give mama the same model as they didn’t have it in stock and because mama bought hers in the USA and the French ones are a bit different.  The store near us here charges more than...
