Woof Woof
My friend M- had a family emergency so she asked if I could take care of her dogs, Kurbie and Torii, for a couple of days. This means leaving the boyz to fend for themselves for long periods of time given the distance between M-'s and my houses. It's good to see Kurbie and Torii again but I do feel bad for my boyz...

Theo's Waiter Joke
Sunday, March 29, 2009
Boo
I felt sorry for Diego-san this afternoon. The grocery delivery guy knocked on the door right as I was giving their boyz their dinner. Diego got scared and bolted down to the basement. This gave Theo the opportunity to double his dinner and left Diego with none. I had to leave so Diego had to wait until I got home. It's not as if any of the boyz couldn't stand to miss a meal or two, but I felt bad for him.

March Madness
It's been cold, rainy and gray here all week. The forecast is calling for more of the same for the next few days. It's the type of weather where it's good to find a snuggle buddy to sleep the day away with.
Of course SOME of us have to get up and make sure we earn enough to heat the house and make sure we are all fed.

My First Crush
A long long time ago, long before Theo and Diego-san had their first battle, I passed two girls on my elementary school playground. It was clear by the resemblance that the two were sisters. The younger one looked at me and for the first time in my life I fell in love. The next year she was in my class and I of course was far too shy to say anything to her. When our class shared Valentines with each other I made sure I gave her the nicest one in my store bought mass produced bundle. Years passed and I admired her from a far, but still I was far too shy to say anything. Her family moved away when we were in junior high.
Why do I share this little story? Because through the miracle of Facebook, we now are Facebook friends. I sent a friend invite to her, not knowing if it was really her, and not really expecting her to remember me let alone accept. But yesterday she did. This Facebook thing is a little bizarre...

Colburns Delivers
I signed up for a grocery delivery service mostly because shopping for groceries ranks right up there with going to the dentist as two of my least favorite activities. Today I got my first delivery... what a slick system. I can order everything online and a few hours later... the groceries appear on my doorstep. Of course the very first item I ordered was Temptations for the boyz.

Theo's Big Adventure
Theo had his annual visit to the vet yesterday. He came through with flying colors- he's lost a half a pound since last year, down to 11.4 lbs. He clearly wasn't enjoying the adventure- he shook like a little bunny during the entire examination.
I took a mental health day off from work to spend with the boyz. Theo obviously wasn't too mad at me about dragging him off to the vet as he spent much of the afternoon and evening lying on my chest.

Namesake
I've been re-watching the Ken Burns PBS documentary about jazz. I got to the episode that features Thelonious Monk- the jazz pianist who Theo was named after. It wasn't an intentional consideration, but looking at the two, I think there actually is a slight resemblance... I only picked the name because I liked "Thelonious" and I thought "Theo" was a nice shortening of the name...

Something for Everyone
For Christmas I bought the boyz a fancy scratching post that has a space that they can crawl into and swat cloth mice that are hung in some holes. I put the gift out and since I had just returned from out of town I went up to do some unpacking. When I came back downstairs to see how the boyz liked their new gift I found Theo and Thompson more curious about the state of their empty dinner dish. So I went to feed the boyz not seeing Diego-san anywhere in sight. I figured he'd come running out when he heard the food being dumped in his dinner dish. I went back to the living room to find a good permanent spot to place the new scratching post. When I picked it up I was surprised at how sturdy it seemed. I hadn't realized it was that well made. When I put it down I realized why it was heavier than I remembered. Diego was sitting happily inside.
Since then Theo is the only one to consistently use the scratching pad. Thompson likes to stand on top of the post. Diego-san loves to occupy the hiding space. I'm glad the gift has turned out to be not only popular, but versatile.

Backpack Kitty
Just like Theo, I had to break Diego-san the news... despite his enthusiasm for new adventures I wasn't taking him to work with me.

The Kreativ Award
Cliff and Olivia gave the boyz this nice award. The rules are to list six things that make the boyz happy. We'll give equal time to each of the guyzos so they get two a piece...
Diego-san is always happy when I comb him. He's also very happy when meal times come around.
Thompson is always happy when I rub his face. He's also very happy when meal times come around.
Theo is always happy when I play fetch with him. He's also very happy when meal times come around.
Thanks again Olivia and Cliff for honoring the boyz.
