saturday night.

watching snl, sitting at my desk editing photos.

pickles gets tired, walks into her crate and lays down.

the cat comes up.  she pats me on the leg.  i let her jump up. she purrs then pops down.

she walks toward the crate.

pickles sits up.

the sniff  each other  through the open door.

spree walks in.  pickles looks at her like she’s a space alien.

cat rubs against the dog a couple times then makes her way to the back of the crate.  lays down.

dog looks confused…then lays back down.

and there you have it.

weirdness.

i love my cat but, ….she’s got some weird stuff goin’ on.   kittiosyncracies, if you will.

for instance, her shoe love.  i will often walk into the room and find her rubbing her face on my shoe.  slippers, flip flops, hikers, what have you.

shoecat1“oh yeaaaahhhh baby”

shoecat2“do you MIND?  can we have a minute here?”

so, we already know cody bear doesn’t like cats.  he fancies himself quite the cat hunter.  but my cat, spree, has somehow managed to convince him that she is not a cat and they get along very well.  they’re not bff or anything, but they live in quiet companionship.

but why push the buttons kitty cat?

we walk into the kitchen and she is curled up sleeping under cody bear’s elevated food bowl.   by the time i got back with my camera she was up and sniffing the bowl.

kittiosyncracies3a bold move, cat.

last night i stood on the table in my back yard and took some cloud shots with the new 40d.

cloudsit’s monsoon season, so the sky has been thick with clouds.

sunset1it’s so sticky and it just won’t rain!  we’ve only had a couple lame monsoon showers.

sunset2“walk me?”

time to review the week.

busy at work.  busy at home.  busy dogs.   the weekend should be the same, but we’re o.k. with that!!!

what we’re not o.k. with is this guy….

nemesiscody bear’s nemesis.  this cat is the one that occassionally wakes us up in the middle of the night banging on our front door.  he pees on everything. he sends his minion kittens over to stare at cody bear.

he’s been here for years and he’s growing more bold. ….we may have to move to a new neighborhood!

cody bear got some disturbing news from aunt t. this week…

codyconcernedafter getting our hopes up that our family back home would get a dog, we were shocked to learn that two new kittens were adopted!  what???

not only did they take a new dog’s place in the home, they have upset pennycat’s delicate consitution.  and….to add insult to injury, the kittens have gone to work with their new mom!

why can’t cody bear go to work!?

and…what happened to the dog? inquiring minds want to know…

“where’s me big brootha?”

tuesday is agility day for cody bear.  that means the girls are left home alone.

catlooks peaceful, doesn’t it?

but in reality, here’s what it sounds like when i leave with cody bear.

“bark BARK!. bark…BARK BARKBARK…bark. BARRRRRRRK.”

pickles gets so pissed that cody bear gets to leave and she has to stay home.  as soon as we leave, spree the cat goes to sleep in the bedroom, leaving the dog to her temper tantrum.

cody bear did great at agility last night!  he slows down in the tunnels though.  i don’t know how bigger dogs whip through those tunnels.  he’s tall and has to crouch down  a lot, but i have seen much bigger dogs do them.

anyway. off to work.

bummer



stop being cute, i’m trying to get some work done.

the munchkins did not get a walk this morning.  i twisted my ankle walking pickles on thursday.  it seems to have gotten worse after all yesterday’s festivities.

today i shall work on a web project while the pets accomplish their goal of being cute:

familypickles has her border collie meetup at 4, so we have to leave for that around 3 to get all set up.

i also intend to do laundry and clean my desk off.  empty data cards and possibly clean the kitchen. we’ll see.  i was supposed to go to a farm to take photos with buzzy and her man today, but my stomach didn’t feel right after the party food last night.  feel better now though!

ok, back to work for me, back to cute for the kiddos.
