Louise has decided that the safest place to be when there is a storm is under Mom’s desk. At first I could not find her because she is black and it is really dark under there. Now I have an extra furry foot rest.
Have a great Wednesday!

Spring finally came with a bang and a boom. Don’t I look beautiful in front of the peonies and the knock-out roses?
Sadly, Mom is not smiling. Her roses have some kind of blight that has destroyed all the leaves, but not the flowers. V and Mom think it is something called Sawflies (aka rose slugs, saw worms), It is ravaging the neighborhood. We thought it was just the knock-out roses, but then we saw it hit the regular roses too. Now we think it is the same pest that has been eating our mugo pines the last few years. Everything looks all dried up and yucky. Mom loves roses (V not so much). Maybe we should pee on them and the larvae will die? That would be better than all the hand picking of larvae needed to get rid of them. Mom thinks it is too late to save any of the bushes this year since they are already gone.
What to do?
Hope you are having a great Wednesday despite our rose slugs.

Don’t you think it’s time to take the cover off the pool, Mom?
(In my defense it was stormy and rainy for weeks. Who knew that it was going to go from 40 degrees to 90 in one day?? – Mom)

When P’nut was born, there was Alice (on the back of the chair),Nikki (a Cocker Spaniel who thought she was a cat, on the back of the couch), Rosie (my soul cat who died a week after this picture was taken @20), and Gertrude, who was too shy to meet the baby. P’nut was 1 day old in this picture.
P’nut is walking in her University graduation today. Though she really finished school last December, this is when they do the cap and gown thing. That made me look back at her life so far, and all the animals that I brought into it. I think that raising children around animals is a wonderful and loving lesson. Because I chose to share my life with all these critters, so did P’nut. Since the moment she arrived she was surrounded by fur.
Cats: Rosie, Gertrude, Alice. Exit Rosie, enter Cuddles, Zackary, and The Muffin Man. Exit Alice, then Gertrude, and enter Miss Constance Kitty and Noel. Exit Zackary, Kitty, and Muffin, and enter Nine and Stella. Exit Cuddles and enter Mini Cooper. And there is also Aunt B’s cat (that we rescued and drove from Maryland to NY), Jazzy, and P’nuts many feral cats from her year in Israel, especially Soshanna. Every feline teaching different lessons about independence, affection, and silliness. Cats definitely teach patience, I think.
Dogs: Nikkolette (Nikki) and Squash E Bear. Exit Nikki and enter Louise. Exit Squash and enter Sofie Bear. Each dog teaching endless lessons in unconditional love. Also another big influence in her life was Socki, Tante Judy’s canine companion, who taught us that dogs can be amazing helpers. I think the dogs taught her responsibility for something other than one’s self.
Horses: From Honey, her first pony, to Sport, and the many other leased horses over the years whose names I forget, this girl loved to ride. I am remembering one major fall she took off of a horse named Cinnamon. I sat and watched the horse refuse the jump and P’nut’s 10 year old self fly through the air into the sand (she was OK, just bruised). I know it is a cliche but, she learned the age old lesson of getting back on the horse after you fall off. I think the horses also taught her confidence, bravery, and humility.
Guinea pigs: (I just realized I forgot to include the Guinea pigs in the collage – I am so sorry little ones.) First there was Sam. Exit Sam enter Georgia and Mr. Moto and their babies, Bubba, Checkers, and Mo Jr. and then the foster, Samore. Learning that rodents can be sweet and funny furbabies, even when they pee on you, teaches one that things don’t always turn out as you planned, but you can change your shirt and move on (I know she struggles with this one).
I can’t believe the years of hugs and cuddles, kisses and purrs. Happy college graduation ceremony day, Baby. From all your fur siblings over the years. ❤ ❤ ❤

For some strange reason, Peanut’s iphone uploaded old pictures of Sofie Bear, from when she was a puppy, back into a current photo album. Maybe the phone wanted us to remember those times, so I had her send them to me, and I made this Sofie puppy collage. Sofie was 5 years old last November. She was such a cute pup. It is easy to forget how tiny they were as puppies. The rescue thought she was a collie/shepard and about 12 weeks old, but now that we know she is a sheltie/mischief mix, she might have been a little older for her size. She was still all puppy! I am not so sure Louise knew what to make of this PEST for the first few months. Sofie followed her everywhere and wanted to be next to her or on her. Love love love love. Louise is so patient.
Happy Wordless Wednesday

My cousin was able to catch her 3 beauties on the stairs. From top, Griffin, LoRyder, and bottom is Circe. What a group! Griffin is an ambassador for Pinup’s for Pitbulls. My cousin Sarah was Miss 2015. Check them out for a great cause.
Happy Wordless Wednesday

I was looking at Louise through the back door. The snowflake is so that birds don’t fly into the glass. The cherry tree is really starting to bloom. The dogs made a nice pile of sticks to chew on. If you look carefully you will notice how green the deck is. That’s all pollen. Lulu comes in and she is so green I have to towel her off.
Have a great Wednesday!
