A Prompting

Theo's been spending a lot of time in the bathtub the past month or so.  I'm thinking his message isn't self directed but maybe directed at others in the house who he thinks needs to take a shower or two...

Horse Sense

We had some pretty bad storms roll through these parts last weekend.  We were fortunate that although some pretty big tree branches fell in our yard, none damaged anything.  Also, unlike many in the area, we never lost power.  I did notice during the rainfall however that our gutters weren't guttering very well so yesterday I brought the ladder out to clean the gutters out.  There was quite a bit of slop (decomposing leaves and branches) and it stunk up to high heaven.  No matter how many times I washed them, my hands still kind of smelled like I had been working with horses.  Believe me, Thompson noticed...

Portrait


I commissioned a painting of the boyz from my friend, who has done other paintings for me.  This is what she came up with.  I'm quite pleased.

Fetal Futility

I was running late for work this morning so I was tearing around the house trying to get everything I needed for the day in order. Diego-san decided that the best defense for this flurry of activity was to curl up and enjoy the show...

Temporary Boy

My great-nephew celebrated his first birthday over the weekend.  This was my gift to him.  So for a few days the boyz got a new housemate.  They weren't too interested.

Camping Trip

Theo thought it would be a good time to get away, rough it, and enjoy a little camping excursion.  He's got his tent all set up (including his favorite toys).  Bring on the wienies and smores...

Little Orphan #$%^!

Diego-san fully believes that you're never fully dressed without a smile.  Still he's willing to go around naked.

The Boss

Thompson is a stickler for cleanliness.  That's why I have put him in charge of making sure no one throws up on rugs or carpeting and all heaving activity occurs on hard surfaces that are much easier to clean.  He has however noted, that the person responsible for vacuuming and dusting has been a little lax on his duties recently. Even though Thompson doesn't like the volume of the loud sucky thing, he thinks it's about time that operator get off his butt and finally do some needed cleaning...

Keeping Perspective on Problems

I told Theo I had a hard day at work.  He didn't want to hear it.  He knew I probably didn't worry all day about when the next meal would be available.

To Do List

Diego-san would get up and do something productive if he could think of anything more productive than keeping the sun company.

Problems Solved

Sometimes the best way to deal with life's challenges is to bury your head in the warmest thing around.

It's Been Years Since It's Been Here

After a cold and damp spring Thompson is really wondering what that bright ball in the sky shining its rays through the windows is...

Silhouette

Diego-san is practicing his pose for the bust that will eventually be placed in a prominent spot in the Smithsonian.

24/7



Theo isn't so sure he's glad I'm back. Since the sitter left all three scoops of food out at one time (unlike the normal three times of day food availability) and his brothers usually don't finish their full meals, it left plenty of extra food for him to savor and enjoy.  Now things are back to normal and he's back to begging for food 24/7.

One Out of Three

One of the three boyz let me know he missed me during my trip out east. Thompson is not usually much of a snuggler but he wanted to be on my lap every moment he could when I got back home...

Back Home

I see Thompson learned something new during my absence... a new stair to claim as his own...

Discombobulated

Without the food guy around to provide regular meals, Theo's world is a little topsy turvy...

All My Bags Are Packed...

Taking a short trip out to Washington DC to see the Twins play the Nationals.  There were some nervous kitties when I left home...

Sewer Cats

Making sure all the alligators that live in the sewer don't get into the house.

The Performer

For today's performance, Thompson will imitate a lima bean.

Differing Opinions

Diego-san thinks that when Theo sits around with his tongue sticking out he looks foolish and un-catlike.  I, on the other hand, think it makes Theo who he is and I for one wouldn't change that...

That is all.

The Cuddler

Diego-san made it extra hard to go to work yesterday morning.  He sat on my lap, cuddled, squirmed, stretched out, and was purring so loud that I thought it would wake the neighbors.  When I finally got up to leave he looked at me with the biggest eyes that let me know not only was I abandoning him, but I was leaving the most important being in the whole wide world...
