…she calls for backup!
After I caught Olivia eating dog food, she tried to hide in shame:
There’s not really any shame in that. This just means Olivia’s the latest in a long line of my kitties who’ll eat anything.… Read more
It’s casual Friday here at Casa Green, and everybody is in a hurry to do absolutely nothin’.
Othello’s asleep in the fuzebox:
Olivia’s decided that the dining room table is a fine place for a cat (I have to respectfully but firmly disagree):
Xena’s going to sit out the stormy weather while Olivia henceforth decides that playing with an 80+ pound dog’s feet is a fine place for a cat:
Me? I’m ready for a day where I can sleep the hell in.
Oh, and a memo to these people whose house I saw from the parking lot at work this morning:
For pete’s sake, wait until Thanksgiving or something!! 🙄… Read more
The recent photo organization project inspired me to finally get around to doing something I’ve been threatening to do for year – create a family portrait out of pictures where no two animals were in the same place at the same time. Here are the results:
Wallpaper (without names): 1200 x 900 | 1024 x 768 | 800 x 600 | 640 x 480
Wallpaper (with names): 1200 x 900 | 1024 x 768 | 800 x 600 | 640 x 480
Wallpaper (without names): 1200 x 900 | 1024 x 768 | 800 x 600 | 640 x 480
Wallpaper (with names): 1200 x 900 | 1024 x 768 | 800 x 600 | 640 x 480
I don’t know who in the heck would want wallpaper of my pets, but I sure do, so I’m leaving it here, more or less for myself. … Read more
We’ve got thunderstorms moving through, so for the third or fourth day in a row, Xena’s in the house with the kitties and I. And this led to an historic occasion…
Olivia’s been reluctant to accept Xena at first…
But after several straight days of Xena being inside with her, the dog finally merits a big “kitty rub”!
…meaning she’s finally been accepted.
Now that’s what I call one big happy family. 😀… Read more
Stormy day here at theLogBook.com HQ, so all hands – and paws – are inside. Which means that everybody gets to see Olivia’s latest hand-me-down. For quite some time, this kitty bench of Iago’s has been propping up an old PC in my room (that isn’t even plugged in to anything), so I got the PC off of it and cleaned it up a bit to see if Olivia would like it.
I think she likes it. … Read more
Xena and Chloe spend a little bit of time outside; Chloe seems to be finding it a little easier to breathe outdoors these days than indoors. Chloe had a recent visit to the vet where we learned that she has the kitty equivalent of asthma, and so we’re having to give her pills twice a day for the next two weeks. Hopefully she’ll not only find it easier to breathe, but her appetite will return as well – she barely eats, and as fluffy and soft as her coat looks, when you pick her up, you find that she’s skin and bones underneath that fur. 🙁 I’m really worried about her. … Read more
I’m pretty much drained after a weekend of waiting for more little horse hooves to hit the ground and other work on the farm, and just not getting a whole lot of sleep in general. I don’t mind helping out on the farm, but I’m not 21 years old anymore and I can’t just change my sleep schedule on a dime. Invariably, I wind up more exhausted and unhappy at the end of a weekend than I do going into the weekend. I almost dread Fridays. But I don’t suppose this’ll matter to anyone until I fall asleep at the wheel, roll my car, and everyone suddenly has to find just the right trained chimpanzees to take up the various chores I have at home, at the farm and at work. Then someday they’ll look back and say, “Wow, y’know, that Earl was a cranky bastard…but at least he didn’t fling his own poop all over the place.”
Bah, they just never found where I was flinging mine.
Anyway, here’s something to cheer us all up: cute Easter critter pictures!
Chloe perches herself on the railing of the deck…
…so she can watch Xena lay down and chow down.
She’s probably also keeping a wary eye on Othello, who is also out and about and on the deck railing…… Read more
Today’s just a perfect spring day. I love it. Warm, but not hot. Breezy, but not blowing the mailbox down for the umpteenth time. So I’ve opened the back door but left the vertical blinds in place; their constant movement in the wind helps to dissuade any flying critters from trying to visit, and the cats can roam freely. The downside to this is: so can the dog. Xena has just walked right into the house numerous times, ambled into my game room, and crashed out on the floor by my feet. Just goes to show how much greener the grass on the other side always is: the dog can’t wait to come in, the cats can’t wait to go out.
Me, I can’t wait for my vacation to start; I work tonight and tomorrow night, and then I’m off for a week for the first time in months.… Read more
