8.4.13 Black and White Sunday: Field Day

field day

The dogs and I love to play in the sports field over at the school.  The clippings look like foam on the ocean in black and white.  It was fun to kick up the stuff and run in the hay until the swallows came (see Monday Mischief for more on that.)

Happy Sunday!

8.3.13 Caturday: Snack Photo Op

IMG_20130725_222158_352

The only time we can get all 3 cats on the bed is for their evening snack.  Yes, skinny Nine gets more than his sisters.  You can see Stella checking out his bowl.  But she is happy, as long as he doesn’t steal hers.  Noel, on the other hand, eats and runs.  Being on the bed with the youngsters is way out of her comfort zone.

PS.  The cat toys are always in the middle of the bed.  Play time seems to be best when relaxing.

I can not imagine a life without cats. Happy Caturday.

8.2.13 Follow Up Friday: Fly Away Week!

Today is Follow-up Friday hosted by Jodi from Heart Like A Dog.  This is where we review the week behind so that we can launch into the week ahead (or something like that).

With the heat of the summer, I was not surprised that on Caturday, Noel slept her usual 18+ hours.  What a perfect life a house cat has.  I wish I could sleep even 6 hours.

As the heat continued, Louise plopped herself down on the deck in the shade, and I caught her rolling her eyes on Black and White Sunday.  It really isn’t the heat but the humidity that is getting to all of us.

Ok – so maybe it was only 5 or 6 but it felt like this.

So I figured we would go have some fun in the field, but as you saw on Monday Mischief, we kicked up all the bugs and then the swallows decided they wanted us out of there and swooped to kill.

This week was $10 for any cat over 10 lbs at the shelter, but for Tuesday’s Tails we found a black beauty named Viola that we thought would be a great addition to any family.

The heat finally broke and we have had some nice mid-80 degrees days, but I still can’t get the dogs to go in their pool.  Wordless Wednesday, featured Louise with her toes in, but Sofie snubbing her nose at the whole thing.  I was actually in their pool, but not even that made them want to go.  Oh well.

Thankful Thursday featured an incredible rescue of Ozzie the Osprey from a fishing line.  If you haven’t seen the Osprey-Cam, you really should go check it out.  Life in the nest, in real streaming video.

Still no job yet, but I am redoing my resume (for the 10th time) and trying to focus more on defining the best of my skills.  I wish that PetBlogging was a full time gig.  That would be a perfect life for me and the zoo.

Peanut leaves tomorrow for 10 months overseas for school.  Sofie has already claimed her bed as her domain.  It will be interesting to see how well we can all Skype and will the dogs really understand it is her.  I know that we want our birds to leave the nest, but sometimes I do wish I could hold on to her just for a moment longer.  I guess this weeks lesson for me comes from Tom and Audrey Osprey – tying them to the nest could have deadly consequences.  FLY PEANUT FLY!  (But do come home next summer to visit.)

8.1.13 Thankful Thursday: Freeing Ozzie Osprey

Today is Thankful Thursday and I want to thank the incredible people at the Chesapeake Conservancy for their endless efforts in keeping the Osprey safe from us humans.  Ozzie the Osprey, the youngest of Tom and Audrey Osprey’s latest brood, was in danger after one of his talons became entangled in a fishing line in the nest last Sunday.

Ozzie, the 2 month old bird, could not free himself from the nest and would have starved to death.  His two older siblings, Chester and Essie, have already fledged.

On Monday morning, a two person team climbed up to the nest during low tide, and freed Ozzie.

The location of the nest is kept secret for the safety of the birds.  But, of course, there is video of the rescue and a live stream of life with the family.  This is ‘reality TV’ at it’s best.

Thank you Chesapeake Conservancy for giving us this incredible view into the lives of one of the most cherished birds on the Bay, and for your efforts to make sure that all creatures have a chance to survive.
