That Stella Girl, she is such a talker. Talk talk talk talk. And when you go to leave her room, she grabs onto your ankle (it is pitiful) and asks you to please stay just a little bit longer.
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

Sofie gets so hot; I would too if I had to wear a fur coat in 100-degree weather. She always sleeps on the a/c floor grate or under the ceiling fan. Her big furry ears wiggle as the fan blows. Watch the video and count the twitches. Bark Out Loud, if that isn’t cute!
Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

When summer hits, even if we are in the shade, it is still panting hot.
“Mom, get us out of the heat and into the A/C. We want some nice ice water!!”
How do you keep cool on hot days?

It was a strange spring this year. So hot in May with no rain that we had to start watering the plants, then some rain, no rain, cold, then thunder and lightning, then torrential rain, then hot again. But now we have entered the DOGDAZ of Summer! All we want to do is snooze inside the airconditioned house. Sofie won’t go outside half the time because she does not like the heat (but she does love to swim). Louise thinks maybe the front door exits to a cooler place than the back, so she is always trying a different exit.

It looks like a normal day outside until Mom opens the door. Then…. blast! Heat comes at us like no tomorrow (what does that mean?). You would think we live in the tropics not the mid-Atlantic. Better to stay inside with the cats.

These pictures are from 2015 but not much has changed, the gardens look about the same, the pool is blue, oh yeah, now we are older and we have to deal with Charles, the little rug rat of a dog. Is it hot where you live?
Happy first day of summer!
What mischief did you get into today?

They clipped my claws! I hate having my claws clipped. I am mad! I am going to hide behind the fish tank. They won’t see me. I am never coming out again (or at least until dinner). – Noel, the Christmas Cat

Our pet whisperer/ animal sitter / groomer and all-time great caretaker, Sonya, gave me a handsome fur cut the other day. It takes a lot to keep me looking gorgeous as I do.

I even posed for Mom when she was taking pictures because I know that I look sooooo good. Aren’t I handsome? – Charles the Mugwump

Every year our Osprey return to mate and have little Osprey.
This is us in 2014 before the bulkhead was turned into a living shoreline, staring at the Osprey platform. Those big birds don’t like us much. This year Mom caught them on video teaching their baby’s to fly. Turn up your volume if you want to hear their little cry drowned out by the 17-year cicada song. The cicadae are very loud but will be gone in a few weeks. But that is for another blog.
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

This really does redefine the words ‘Teacher’s Pet.’ I teach virtually and video record my sessions. I don’t think there is one session in the last 6 months that Miss Mini Cooper has not attended. And now she has Nine getting into the act.
