Smelling a Rat

Posted by on Jul 5, 2022 | 20 comments

What on earth did mama put in here? My advice: if you see what looks like a rat, but doesn’t walk like a rat or talk like a rat, give it a good sniff. That could keep you from actually TASTING an Ikea special, about which I had forgotten, but after a little bite, REMEMBERED, duh. ECK!!!! Where’s my...

(I hope THEY are bringing out our July 4th menu!!! This is NOT what I ordered, but the duck fat is pretty tasty…) We wanted to put in a Monday spark that relates to July 4th, to freedom, equality, and being an American.  Realizing that some of the most valiant and necessary movements in our country were at the instigation of Lyndon B. Johnson, a Texan, we...

Well, I’m sharing some of mama’s greeting cards with you, since I suppose they could be considered “art”, haha, but if you ask me, and no one did, they’re just fun puns. You know how there are certain jokes that evoke responses like “Owww” or “Eckkk” or “Gimme a break”?  Well that’s...

Nothing like a good Friday fall-down… Mama speaks: 1. A fashion trend that I hope never returns is/are funky bell-bottom pants and yet they always seem to come back around. (Mama, I’m never wearing those things…) 2. A fashion trend I wouldn’t mind coming back in style is most of the styles of clothes in my closet, haha. Loulou speaks: 3....

My new svelte bod…6 kilos and holding. FINALLY, but hey, was I really such a ciccia-bomba? (Okay, okay, plump) Well, I was drinking a good bit of water but now it seems to have tapered off. I think that’s something to be thankful for, that and a new insulin and zapper that looks like a fountain pen, whatever that is. And I think drinking enough...

…okay, I’ll step down. It is just all so sad for women everywhere who will suffer enormously. And frankly, men will suffer, too, although they may not realize how much until they feel the repercussions. The Supreme Court of the United States of America should be ASHAMED. May they lose LOTS of sleep over this decision....

Well, papa has gone to get a new phone that reads my button, and we have our paws and fingers crossed for success. All of this is just a bit much…I need a niptini or something, or maybe a nipito or just plain old nip on the rocks! I’m feeling as if I am on the rocks myself, haha. But hope springs eternal and I’ll keep you up to date. I...

If it seems that I am sacked out often lately, well, I am. BUT, I need my beauty sleep, after having missed a few zzzs on all these trips to Neovet. They are such good people, though. We are happy to have found them, especially Dr Joubert who answers emails and helps us muddle through this broken reader thingy… BUT…tomorrow is another day....

  Well, my Freestyle 2 reader that reads my little button installed on my shoulder conked out.  The reader, not my shoulder… I was in the car and at the vet all evening so that those emergency anthros could read my button, which turned out to be an okay number, but papa is scrambling all over the place to find a new Freestyle 2 reader. Evidently they...

Well, today I am offering a past blog because I am thankful for differences and hope somehow that not-even-seeing-them will get across to anthros everywhere one day… Differences – 2013-05-01  Well, Toddy the Jack Russell is not like me and there’s this kitty downstairs and she’s not like me. That is, she is a Persian/mix of...

I have never understood what papa always says when he is watching me BATHE! “I coulda been a contenda…” From On the Waterfront. Marlon Brando’s (whoever he is) line when he is despairing over not having become who he wanted to be. Hey, I AM who I want to be. A bathing kitty, haha.  And darn good at it, too. with a mean upper paw!...

WOW – I’ll bet that guy was SURPRISED to say the least! Oh, boy, here’s a Monday spark for everyone. Mama saw this first on Gwen Cooper’s instagram and her blog site, for which mama could not find a link! A random act of kindness, this, that’s for sure. And all kitties found homes, unbelievable! What a great guy! We hope your...

It’s Daddy’s DAY? Wow, and look where I am!

Well, for my Saturday art I am showing you my White Badge of Courage which was GLUED to me yesterday (that same “me” having been shaved nude in the area!) to monitor my glucose for two weeks, whatever that means… I have been told (but it’s probably hearsay) that this little disc will drop off in two weeks of its own accord. HAH!...
