Simple Spark

Bask, bask, bask… Well, mama is borrowing a spark from her YouTube exercise person, Pahla B, which is about the fact that we think hundreds of thoughts a day and some aren’t all that great for your well-being and so try this: If a thought feels bad, it’s a bad thought. Ditch it. (Mama puts it mentally in the Trash on her computer). If a thought feels good,...

Selfie Satisfied

This is NOT my selfie! Well, I was quite happy with today’s selfie, (as you will eventually see), as it is not blurry, off-balance or any of those other things that seem to happen when nama has that weird THANG in her hands. Plus, I needed to tidy up right when mama aimed that THANG! I really had to take a break in the photo shoot to bathe....

Oui, rub, rub, rub, that’s it, front to back, mama. Keep rubbin’, keep rubbin…oh, boy, do I LOVE this! Basta. Merci. Well, I am a sucker for head rubs and mama can give them for hours, but at a certain point, I am done with them and fall over into a trance. But while we are on the subject, when you get a head rub, do your eyes go all...

Thanks for a huge downpour that made every seem to grow overnight! I watched, once again, and wanted to go OUT but mama opened the door and I changed my mind. Changed my mind again. I’m going out there come…well…hell or high water, haha. Oops… No way, Jose. It is pouring the proverbial cats and dogs out there, but this storm might rain alligators! Off to...

WHAT? Haha, mama was with a friend today who was telling her about her favorite name for a daughter, which was Charlotte, but if she and her husband had had children she could never have named her daughter Charlotte. ”Why”, of course mama asked. Well, she said, because of our last name. And mama thought, okay, your last name is Gatto (as in the Italian for...

  Hey, mama, you FORGOT to help me with my spark! I had to go to the vet and THEY spent a lot of time preparing my rolling coach, putting in those puppy pads, things like that, which is probably why mama forgot. I told mama that forgetting things might also help you forget problems, too, haha, but she said, “Loulou, you read that somewhere, you...

Ha ha, I’ll bet that sounds weird, instead of saying I sat on the mat, right? But I sat on a Sat today, watching the raindrops from a neat little sheltered place under our eave and had a pretty good time doing it, I must say. Rain is fascinating! And WET. Which is why I asked mama to let me in after a few minutes of pondering the slick patio. But...

If I look less than affectionate, it’s because I do not see any reason to jump up and kissy poo when I have been LEFT for ONE WHOLE NIGHT! Well, THEY are back, with clean teeth and whatever that other thing was, uh, oh, oui, the eyeballs. Both of THEM are ok and seeing well with no changes, that is, BOTH of their sets of eyeballs except that they need to...
