Wonderful Wednesday: Waiting Not So Patiently

Mom said that the kids are coming over for lunch today (to Mom they will always be kids, but to us, they are big humans). We are waiting by the open door on the steps to greet them. Mini, the other dog, likes to wait with us too. If you look all the way at the top of the stairs you will also she Noel. She is too scared to come down.

Sometimes Noel will wait at the door, but the slightest movement outside tends to scare her so she doesn’t stay long. We on the other hand, love the steps and can wait, not so patiently, for at least 5 minutes before going to do something else.

How long can you wait for something?

Monday Mischief: You Smell… Interesting

You smell interesting. What did you have for dinner? Can I have some? Let me sniff some more. This is my Mom and I really don’t feel like sharing her lap with you. But maybe. You do smell good.

What kind of mischief did you get into today?

Black and White Sunday: Leaning

“I’m struggling.” said Bear

“Is there anything I can do?” asked Rabbit

“Just be here as you are now,” said Bear “and let me lean on you.”

“Do you mind if I lean a little back?” asked Rabbit

“Of course not,” said Bear, “we can lean on each other.” – Tara Shannon

Wonderful Wednesday: Life at the Zoo

Just a normal afternoon of preening and rolling. These two have become best friends and you find them together a great deal of the time. Mini Cooper has always been the other dog anyway. She is the only cat we have ever had that meets everyone at the door and runs with the dogs (instead of running away from them). It is awesome when life at the zoo just happens uneventfully.

Hope your Wednesday is wonderful too. What’s your normal?

Monday Mischief: Changing of the Guard

Yard security 2023 – Charles and Jolie

 

Yard Security 2014 – Sofie and Louise

 

Yard Security 2010 – Squash E Bear and Louise

I noticed that as the security guards we hire get smaller in size, they have a lot more yard to cover. They appear to get further and further from the big tree so that they can see what is happening. It looks to me like Charles and Jolie have worked out their parameter strategies. I must say that Jolie is very fast whenever a squirrel touches down.

I don’t know who I am more afraid of, the 2 ankle biters or the big 100 lb ball of fluff. Squash never barked unless he really meant it (and what a bark it was) vs the littles who never stop yapping.

Black and White Sunday: Purple Dreams

Nine was such a good sleeper. He could really lay anywhere and just immediately fall asleep. I envy that in a cat.

Have a wonderful Black and White Sunday.

Wonderful Wednesday: Photo Fail

We got haircuts and no matter how hard Mom tried, we did not want her to take a good picture of the 2 of us.

Here is the best we let her get. She says we look so pretty.

Do you like to go to the groomer?

Monday Mischief: We’ve Got Bluebirds

My photo (sorry for the blur)

Internet photo of male and female Eastern Bluebirds

We are blessed to have Eastern Bluebirds spending a great deal of time in the yard this year. It is probably because V has discovered that they love mealworms and is mixing them into the feeders. We have waited years for Bluebirds. V even put a Bluebird house, perfectly positioned on the big maple out front, so that we can watch it when doing dishes. Last year a male came and checked it out but never moved it. I wonder if he will try it again this year?

The Eastern Bluebird is a small thrush with a big rounded head, large eyes, plump body, and alert posture. The winds are long, but the tail and legs are fairly short. The bill is short and straight.  – All about birds.org

Black and White Sunday: Memories of Nine

A sweet memory of Mr. Nine from 2015.

This month he would have been 12. We miss him a great deal.

Wonderful Wednesday: Nappers

 

Sometimes, napping with friends is just so much more comfortable, don’t you think? Are you are solo napper? Or do you like to cuddle nap with friends?
