The Muffin Man. Yep, that was his name. We called him “Muffy” or “Muffin.” He came with that name. You know how there are just some cats that clearly capture your heart forever. That was him. The ambassador of catliness. The definitive orange cat. The coolest of cats.
Tiny tiny Mini Cooper. I think this picture was taken by K8. Wasn’t she just the cutest. It makes me want a kitten. How do 4 years go by so quickly? There is just something about kittens and puppies. Stop me now, 3 dogs and 4 cats are quite enough.
The family did the annual summer migration to Sunset Beach, North Carolina, without the zoo. The dogs went to summer camp at Miss Sonya’s and the kitties stayed put with Sonya visiting everyday. I don’t know how to vacation without interacting with animals, so I seem to spend time seeking out the company of strange furries; like this cat that is at the flea market every year. Can you believe that this lady was wearing her Schnauzer on a hot day? We learned that Boyten Spaniels are the state dog of NC, though we met this one jet skiing in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. And we met a cute not-Louise black dog at the coffee shop. The jellyfish were stinging and we had to use too much vinegar one day for the pain, but the weather was extra special nice.
The pups were tremendously happy when we all returned home. Kisses and smiles all around. The cats… well you know they ignored us for at least 10 minutes, and then Mini had to tell us all about her week.
Peanut is teaching me how to make funny faces on Noel in Snapchat. What do you think? She is the only animal at the zoo that shows up on Snapchat. We assume because she is white. No other animal will register for funny faces. Lucky, NoNo
If you can’t see well enough, Louise is the black lump on the floor that Noel is trying to get to play with her. You can see her white toes in the background.
