Zoey Meets Cloey

Cloey is a jumbo sized cat… like over 20 pounds of jumbo. Even living with me for almost 3 years didn’t put much dent into her weight. After re-homing her earlier this year, she found herself living with a hamster named Zoey. Normally, I think Zoey runs around the house in her little hamster ball [...]

Just Because She’s So Cute!

Twiggy was posing for me the other day on the bench in my bedroom. It was like she wanted her portrait made because she was still there after I went back into the family room to get my camera. No reason to put this here other than she’s just so darn cute!

Bird Watching

Twiggy loves to watch whatever is happening on the deck. There’s usually something that catches her eye. She was sitting on the couch with me and suddenly jumped up and snuck to the window. A female cardinal was poking around less than a foot away.

SuperKitty and Jack

I have a couple of stuffed cats. One of them has a mask and a secret zipped compartment, so it got named ‘SuperKitty’. The other one is named ‘Jack’ probably because I was watching Stargate when Gavin insisted on naming it years ago. The kids have always like playing with them. The other day, Morgan [...]

Gator Wrestling

My idea of gator wrestling is with one about this size. Yeah Buddy – bring it on! These critters are scary looking even when they’re little. The best thing to do when confronting an alligator is to make sure you’re with people who you can outrun.

My Favorite Color

When I was a kid, I thought peacock blue was the most beautiful color in the world. And now that I’m a bit older, I have to admit that it’s pretty hard to beat the colors you find on the whole bird.

Which Is Cuter?

Back to that old question: Mirror, mirror on the wall who’s the fairest of them all? If anyone still thinks a squirrel is just a rat with a fluffy tail.. well.. I beg to disagree. Just look at those beady rat eyes and that pointy nose.

The Blurry Cat

Most of the time anyone who visits must think I have one cat and one cat-shaped blur. She’s the one who is running for cover as soon as I get company. So here’s a picture of Twiggy so you can see how cute she is. What you can’t hear are all the funny noises she [...]

My New Bird Feeder

My poor old green feeder finally died. For the past week, it kept falling off the hanger and cracking. All the ground eaters (squirrels, doves, mice) loved that because all the seed dumped onto the ground. So I went to Lowes and bought a new one yesterday afternoon. Then I managed to leave it on [...]

Who’s Territory Is This Anyway?

Sometimes I look out my windows and see the darnedest things. There are always squirrels and rabbits hanging out. Way more squirrels. But they usually don’t pay any attention to each other. In the backyard under the bird feeder, everyone eats together quite happily. (minus the rabbits now that they were all evicted) So it [...]
