awww cute

Gidgee girl is sometimes soooooooooooooo cute, but then other times like when she is clawing the leather lounge not so cute.

sometimes

this is why it is so difficult to do anything on the computer. If she isn't walking across the keyboard she is laying down right in the most difficult spot ever. Sometimes actually ON the keyboard and you have to try and maneuver around her. LITERALLY! And then she will get all huffy and hissy and well then it is over - you have to pack up and do something else, because everyone knows that a hissing cat is always going to be the winner. I like my eyes!

TGIF Friday

For some reason this is exactly how I feel this week. I feel tired and lazy and just wanna lay down. Gidgee has favourite spots around the house - this is near the computer and is a sunny spot in the mornings.

strange bedfellow

Every night when I get into bed - this little kitty is waiting for me. She knows that she has to lay on the towel, and well this picture was just too cute. It's not always me though - she has a habit of playing my housemate and I against each other. She will like me for about 3 months - sleep in my bed all of the time etc etc, but then she switches and I become dead to her. Also sometimes a little cat is worse to have in your bed than a partner - she can be an absolute bed HOG

come out come out

wherever you are? This is a picture of my housemates dog - Scout. He over a period of time dug this hole in the middle of the yard that is a total break-your-ankle hazzard. I have to put a frame around it so noone does break their ankle. Every time I fill it - he re digs it - so I have given up, and now just put the grass clippings in there. And you know what the scoutster loves it!

naughty cat

This is my naughty cat - she has taken to getting up on the newish kitchen bench. Now this should be extremely difficult for her because she is old - and well she should be past it and it's not something she has ever done before. We have removed every possible jumping implement form her reach but still she manages to do it. I have also discovered her in the last few days trying to open the cat flap from the outside. Literally one paw pulling it open while she tries to duck in underneath. Who said you can't teach an old cat new tricks

some days

so the other night I was trying to clean up and well does this photo look like the result of a clean up? No it does not - because what happened was I was going at a thousand miles an hour as I often do when I have a bee in my bonnet about something ( this time it was cleaning up the house obviously ) and well I knocked a whole contained of dog food off of the bench. A whole container . EVERYWHERE! IN THE KITCHEN! so of course I gave up on the cleaning, because when the gods give you signal like that you cannot ignore it!

PS thanks another J for commenting! I don't feel as lost in the blog wars now!
PPS D - it would seem I have trumped you today!

barking mad...

minke..the minkster...minkola..minky spinky all names for my 'beloved' Labrador of 13 years. Notice the ".." because right at this very moment there isn't a whole lotta love between me and the minkster. Why you may ask...well let me tell you - minke has taken to barking up a storm and not really loud stranger danger barking, whiny single barks, that even though I try to ignore them they don"t stop. You know Dr Harry often says its just behaviour and responding gives him what he wants, well there is only so much you can ignore at 7 o clock on a Saturday morning. SO I traipse out of bed to give him some food and anti-psychotic dog medication (seriously) and this calms him down for lets say about 1/2 hour. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR. and you know every time I go to him he is at the back door and his tail is wagging - does this sound like a dog that is in distress or a dog that is playing the system. Well it has to end. My sister said to me this morning " Did I have dream that you said you were going to murder minke" to which I replied " No mon frere - it was not a dream !"...
