PhotoHunt - Covered

Mom's providing the photos here which don't include us.     Of course we are COVERED in furs so any photo of us would do!

The first photo was taken at the Missouri Botanical Garden during the early spring a couple of years ago, when the crocuses were just coming up: this grassy area was covered in flowers!

The second photo comes from the humans' trip to Alaska when they took the White Pass Rail trip from Skagway:   the train went through a couple of tunnels which had wooden covered entryways, (and wooden bridges!) like this one:

Tasty Toes and Tummy

I was trying to think of an idea for today's post, because we don't have any recent garden pictures, and there is nothing to report out there.     Then I read Brian's post about Tasty Tummy Thursday and it gave me an idea.    Here I am licking my toes and tummy clean in my corner hidey area.   I am still trying to work out what the flavor is.  Any suggestions for a flavor that goes well with my furs?     Mom would like coffee icecream, but I don't think I would like that too much.

Wordless Wednesday

As Before, the Grass is Always Greener ........

This photo is actually from last year, but could easily have been taken yesterday.    I even go to the back door before I want to eat my breakfast and if Dad is willing, we go out for a while.    But the weather has been wet so much of the time, often he has to say no.     We are all tired of the rain.

An Award

Last week we were honored with the Noteworthy Archives award from Chancy and his fursblings whose blog is Chancy the Gardener.      Thank you very much, Chancy!!

In considering our friends blogs, two come to mind that have very rich archives.      The first is Sweet Praline's blog, whose Mom Paula is now helping Truffle blog at Sweet Purrfections.     Sweet Praline went to the Rainbow Bridge earlier this year, but Mom Paula has continued to post wonderful memory posts about Praline on her blog.   They are so great to read and remember Sweet Praline.

The second blog with archives that we really enjoy reading is the Poupounette's blog.     Their human #1 has been writing this blog since 2008.   Among our favorite archives are the stories about Sen-Chan and Yuu-Chan before they went to the Rainbow Bridge.  But also we have loved all the posts about Tama Chan's kittens.   And now there are new stories about the young Gen-Chan and Vidock, the Percheron horse.

They're Home

My humans went to Dad's XX%$@#!!th high school reunion this weekend so we were left in the care of a sitter, who was very nice to us.     But it is still good to have the humans home because we can manipulate them for deck time.    And extra meals.

Mom says she will try later to help us go round and read and comment on our friends' blogs.

The Grass is Always Greener ..........

We love to go out on the deck, as most of you know.     We will cry to be let out, starting from breakfast time.    That is why this photo is so surprising.    It must have been close to dinner time.

We seldom get so close to each other without there being a chase and tussle.  

This and That Thursday

It is raining here today.      Mom often gets very irritated with the rain/Dad when Dad leaves our comfy towels on the deck and then it rains.  They are so soggy and then usually have to be run  through the washer and dryer to make then dry and soft and cozy again.   Luckily this time Dad had brought them in.

Audrey has a new automatic feeder.   She had one at her former home, and it was helpful for dispensing small amounts of dry food to tide her over the 1 am, 3 am, 5 am etc hungries.       She now spends a lot more time lying near it, hoping for it to give its characteristic whir sound as the food turns into view.   When Simba first heard it, he sat bolt upright and his eyes were wide as saucers.   But he isn't too interested in it for food because he considers dry food the food of last resort.  Unless it is treats.

Now that the weather is just slightly cooler  we are showing more inclination towards blankies, beddies, etc.    Audrey even likes to have her pink princess blanket put over her when she is in her bed.   She really IS quite a Princess!   Simba lies ON TOP of Audrey's snuggie that her first Mom brought over Labor Day weekend.

Few Words Wednesday

Audrey:  I ate my breakfast.   Then Mom had left the door open to the bathroom where they put Simba's food so I ate his too.
