We got our spring hair/fur cuts and Sonya, our groomer extraordinaire, gave us cute little shamrock bandanas. Do we look Irish? March 17th is the Feast of Saint Patrick. He was the patron saint of Ireland around the year 461 and supposedly March 17 is when he died.
Though it is an Irish thing, we celebrate it big here in the US. Actually, according to Wikipedia.com, it is celebrated bigger in North America than in Ireland. Americans have actually had parades since the 1600s to celebrate.
We have a lot of Irish friends: Irish Wolfhounds, Irish Terriers, Wheaten Terriers, Kerry Blue Terriers, Irish Setters, Irish Water Spaniels, and who could forget the cutest little Glen of Imaal Terrier.
Well, maybe we don’t look Irish, but everyone can be Irish for one day. Now, where is that pot of gold they talk about at the end of the rainbow?
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

There is a cat bed on the big bed, which was for Mini to stay warm at night.
But Charles decided he liked to sleep in it during the nite. Which was OK I guess, since Mini went elsewhere and didn’t kick up a fuss.
But then Jolie decided that she liked the bed.
Now someone is always in the bed on the bed.
Have a wonderful Wednesday and beware the Ides of March. You never know what could happen.

It snowed. Yes, it really did for like a day. Then we broke a record for heat. Then it got cold again. Welcome to life in Maryland. We have crazy seasons, but this year has been the craziest. Hottest February on record they say. We are catching every ray of sun we can because you never know when it will start hailing. In Maryland, we can pretty much experience all 4 seasons in one day. Grab that sun when you can!
How has your winter been? I know some of you are snowed under. Stay warm. Spring is coming.

What do cats see off in the distance? Is it dust dancing in the light? Is it paranormal mist? Why do cats stare at what appears to us to be nothing, but to them, clearly something?

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?

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.

Dear Noel, My human tends to forget about keeping my kibble bowl filled to the brim at all times of the day the way I like it. She tends to give me a few kibbles here and there when she wants, not when I want. How do I get her to listen to my needs? – Please help – Frustrated in Philidelphia
Dear Frustrated, I get you! I have the same problem at my house. What I do is get in my human’s face and complain and complain until they have no alternative but to feed me again and again and again. I know that it is really hard to train them, but we must be consistent in our barrage of meows and destruction. Sooner or later they will learn. Best of luck. Noel, the Queen who knows all.
