Are we done? I don’t think I’m done. More scritches Peep!
Sasha here. We are late today because the peep had an early morning doc appointment (that’s like a vet but she doesn’t need to fit in the portal to hell). It’s been a quiet week. I’ve been practicing my kneading skills. I found out that if you land on a peep’s belly and start kneading something she calls a bladder, things happen. It’s one way to keep her hopping.
There is a new stray in the ‘hood. It’s a lovely ginger and frequents the next-door neighbor because she feeds two outdoor kitties. Our neighbor’s address is listed everywhere strays congregate! The peep is encouraging her to add him to her group. Her outdoor cats have a good gig. Two meals a day and a heated hut to sleep in. Personally I like my indoor gig better, but I can’t chase squirrels and stuff.
Taken through a screen which gives the checkerboard look.
We are still sad. The peep received Morgan’s paw prints this week and that ended up in a massive flood. Gus and I were looking for higher ground or Noah’s Ark.
Our peep says she’s going to paint some walls this weekend. Gus and I are thinking of helping. She bought a box of Churus which need eating. When we help, she calls us “indaway.” Not sure what that means but bring on the Churus!
Gus and Sasha canoodling at the fireplace!
Have a great (but paintless) weekend.

Are you considering adding a handsome new ginger to your menagerie? Or keeping it at the lovebirds for the moment? I’m so glad you and Sasha and Gus have each other for comfort!

Keeping it at two. If we have to downsize to a different kind of living, you can take two cats. It gets iffier if you have more.

I do too. It’s very cold here right now. At my last house I saw a stray that appeared at my pond from time to time eating the sunflower shells under the birdfeeder. Broke my heart. I put out real cat food. He ate 2 cans and 1/2 cup of kibble. He was starving. Before I moved I trapped him and had a rescue take him. Within a month he was in a warm home with a friendly cat with 2 good meals a day. He was a friendly cat and likely dumped. I hate people who do that.

You have a lot of energy to take on new projects like this. I do have a painting project in the house in the hall, but I keep putting it off. When I painted the laundry room floor where the plumber tore apart the floor and had to remove the tiles that were in place for decades, I had to paint it over multiple times as I thought I had matched the paint to the tiles perfectly in this space in front of the laundry tub (about 4′ by 4′) but I was wrong each time. The paint store was not much help matching it or the wall, where I had to paint over where they splattered black gunk behind the laundry tub that could not be removed.

Appointment was routine so ok. That kitty has been around (so my neighbor says) for a while. I saw him for the first time last week. He eats her outdoor cats food. I think she should add another plate and another heated hut. She is a very kind person but she has 2 indoor cats that won’t accept another cat.

Not really. Not in the mood this year but I’m having lunch with a friend next week. Looking forward to that. We went out for dinner last night and it didn’t work. The food was overcooked (I really should have sent it back) and I asked for a booth so they put us in the back next to the waiter station although there were booths up front. I know. I should have complained. Sometimes you just want things to be right without fighting. The place dropped to the bottom of my list.

No, I have a box of mementoes (mostly paw prints) from other pets. Right now it’s too painful. She’s in my heart. Odd story — when Gracie died, Chewy sent me a small portrait of Morgan on canvas. Since they were both gray, they had the wrong one done. It’s beautiful and I have that in my office.
