The Fever Has Hit Me
April 14, 2009 By
I woke up this morning about 6:30. At first, I didn’t think it was going to be a good day. My head was swishy, and I felt kind of yucky. The norm for a person with vertigo. [Read more...]
April Showers Bring May Flowers
April 7, 2009 By
The showers may bring flowers, but it doesn’t help for getting much outdoor work done around here. It’s cold, and damp and no fun to do anything outdoors.
This morning I finished the chemise I had started a couple days ago. It turned out to be just what I wanted. It will be added to the Thornton Square line of clothes.
We are getting over two dozen eggs a day now. The chickens are out everyday, and having a ball. It is fun to watch them run all over the yard chasing things. Thank heavens the cats don’t chase them.
The cats do however chase every leave that blows across the yard. They are having fun, and we have fun watching them. I was sure they would be upset at us for making them outdoor cats, but I think their fun makes up for it. They have acres and acres to run and scamper after things that move. Puca, who we thought was going to be “wild” has tamed out well. Pyewacket is sweet, but now prefers to chase Puca over being in my lap. Oh, they grow so fast.
Saturday we are helping out at the library with the kids Easter Egg Hunt. We are donating the eggs for the kids to color. I have hard boiled some white eggs, green eggs, and brown eggs. It’ll be alot of fun.
Sir Robin Meets Puca
December 28, 2008 By
Of all the dogs we have, Sir Robin (Robin for short) seems to have more of an issue with the cats than any other dog. He is almsot 14, and has never had to share his space until we adopted the other 3 dogs. I think he is still waiting for them to leave. He and Kodie (age 11) have become good buddies, while Chakra (age 7) has a bit too much energy for him. He does tolerate him well. He likes Effie (age 7), but she has no room in her life for him.
Yesterday while sitting on the couch, we noticed Puca in the downstairs hallway. This was quite rare for him as he hardly ever ventures past the stair case. Robin saw him, and immediately started the “stare down”. Puca just watched him carefully. Robin crept closer and closer until he couldn’t take it anymore, and actually charged. After much hissing, spitting, and clawing, Puca ran back up the stairs and assumably under the bed. Robin just walked away with a smug look on his face,?as if he was still the king of the castle.
First Healthy Vet Check
November 20, 2008 By
Pyewacket and Puca had their first vet check today. They got their shots, and she cleaned out their ears. I guess they had ear mites. Something not uncommon in small kittens. They usually get it from their mother. They also had flea dirt. Something mom passes on as well. I have a feeling that their mother wasn’t as well taken care of as she should have been. Sad. I do hope the other adopted kitten gets to get a vet check. Otherwise, that home will be infested with fleas in a short time.
It's a Boy
November 17, 2008 By
We picked up Puca (pronounced pooka) this morning. He is so cute, but not as friendly as his sister. When I picked him up at the store, he hissed, bit, and scratched at me. He ran off and hid behind the the stack of trellis’. Fiesty little fur ball he is. I got him settled into my jacket, and he calmed down. After a couple errands we came home and put him up with Pyewacket. It was as if she said, “hey I know you, you are my family”. they tucked away under the bed together and there they were for a good part of the day.
