After the Celebrating

They are wiped out.

Then yesterday~

two Christmas' gone by and 

no issues then I see this.

Subtle Hint

Those of you that have cats or have had

cats know that they STARE a lot.

Took a bit for me to get used to Lily 

staring at me. But I had adjusted..

Then came the red lighted laser pointer!

I play and play and play with her and the 

pointer but when I put it down the above

pic is what I get. When I ask her what she wants

she looks down at the floor (where the red light 

dances around)...HINT, HINT...HINT Mom...

Furbabes as Santa's Helper

Well life with a cat is fun, interesting

and can get on your nerves esp

if you are trying to wrap gifts!

HAHA....I however did not let her

get on my nerves....I just LAUGH!

And I laughed even harder doing pics

of the babes with Santa hats.

I woke Lily to put the hat on her and 

Dakota just said to heck with it all.

HAHA

This pic was after a hard morning.

They both curled up next to mom to 

nap.

SO SWEET....when asleep!

And here....Misfire was a lot like 

Dakota, she wanted NO PART

of playing Santa's helper!

Hence...pic was taken before I 

brushed her down, she had been rowing 

around in the pasture.

Speaking of furbabes...

two of the barn babes. If you look to the 

top of the pic you will see my

fancy barn boots!

These two, esp the gray one stays

right with me while I am there.

They beg to be petted and once I have

done all the horse chores I sat on

a stool in the barn and pet them. 

The black tortie (not shown) and the 

gray one has started meeting me half

way down the driveway when I pull in...

they come running. If the pigs are out

they come running also. 

The furbabes thank you for stopping in and 

they love your comments.

New Cat Tree

Mom got Lily a new cat

tree/tower.

At first she was not so crazy about it

but I think it had a factory smell she did not 

like...but she is up and on it more and more.

Miss Nosey

I know that it is hard to look at

these pics and relate to the fact

that yes, I am a photographer!!

Cell phone pics taken in a hurry

before she moved.

I had a drawer in the kitchen that got off

kilter. The runner that the drawer glides

that is attached to the back on the cabinet

broke off and the drawer was sitting cock

eyed in that area. I removed it to check things

out and figure out what I needed to do. 

It was dark up in there so I ran to get 

the flashlight...coming

back to this site.

NOSEY!
NOSEY!
NOSEY!

Mr. Handsome ~ My Model

He hates being my model!

See him cutting those eyes at me?

He wants the camera out of his face.

Speaking of face...

he bit at my nose the other day?

Why?

He don't like people in his space and 

space means FACE.

I was up in his face kissing his

nose and he was telling me to 

back off.

No...it did not hurt, he barely

skimmed my nose and 

no, I did not get on to him

cause it was all my fault.

I know how he is.

HAHA...when I got him from my

daughter, I hoped he would be 

a lap dog....

HAHA

NOPE!

He will however lay next to 

my leg so close that he is

not far from the lap.

Not the same though.

Got Lily, thought maybe she would

be my lap cat....

NOPE!

That did not happen either.

Thank goodness Misfire

is not a lap

HORSE!

Dakota and Lily Bit Making for an Interesting Night

Oh my gosh....

it was an interesting night. 

Dakota woke me at 1:30am to go to the 

bathroom. Some nights he will stay out

for 20 or 30 mins and I usually sit on the 

couch waiting for him. Last night I must

have been really tired cause I curled

up on the couch and went to sleep. 

20 mins later I woke to Dakota 

knocking on the screen, or should I 

say hitting the door. 

I woke and stumpled to the door, 

unlatched the screen and let him in.

I went back to the couch, covered up 

with my throw and went back to sleep.

I woke ten mins later to a loud 

MEOW.

Usually if Lily is upstairs and wakes

she meows out loud, checking to see

if I am around. So I yelled upstairs

to tell her to come down. 

Dakota however started running around 

in the livingroom and heading to the 

front door. I figured he must have tummy

issues and needed to go out again.

I was going to let him out and 

then go find Lily.

I opened the front door and out 

runs a furball. HAHA

I apparently in my sleep state shut her

between the door and screen. 

Luck was with me cause I latched the

screen back before shutting the door.

My screen does not latch on its own when

shut so to keep it shut, I have use a hook and 

eye latch I installed years ago. Good thing

I did cause if I had not, Lily would have

gotten out and I probably would have

lost her, not knowing where or how she

got out. 

SILLY LILY...

This morning the adventure continues.

This is the area my washer and dryer is in, 

and on the side of the washer, is the opening to

under my stairs. I blocked that area off to keep

some furball from jumping over and getting lost.

However this morn she jumped over

the board I have there. Usually I have a 

kindergarten mat on top of the board but

someone pushed it out of the way.

I heard her when she jumped down, I 

knew where she was. I kept hearing her

moving around so I decided to go rescue

her. I found her in this box.

A box that was empty and stored back there. 

And Dakota sleeps....haha

Tree Hiding and Cabinet Crawling

Last night Dakota stayed the night at

granny's (moms) house. While he was gone

was gone Lily and did some playing with

the little feathery toy on a string..

Every so often she was taken off in 

a running fit and run behind the angel

and Father Christmas. 

Peeking out at me.

Then the branch got in the way

so she OPENED

WIDE...and tried to bite it.

She is always into something and 

always making me laugh.

There is a rule in my home though,

NO TABLE

NO COUNTER TOPS...

I keep a water bottle handy for those

times. However while putting dishes

put out of the dishwasher the other night, 

I turned my back and then when I turned

back around I saw this.

OH MY...

The cabinet has three sections that contect,

when I grabbed for her, she ran to the other

end. She did get in trouble and got a talking

too.

HAHA

My Second Shadows

I am used to being followed from room 

to room, Dakota has done it all of his life.

When I go upstairs for a reason, if I will only

be a second, I have to tell him to stay, I will be

back! haha....and if I don't come right back,

he follows. So this is nothing new for me.

However, I am not used to having TWO

following me. But, I know that they love me.

Yesterday I went to the spare room that 

has not been redone and still has the green

walls. Still shaking my head and wondering

what I was thinking when I painted that room.

Anyway, while at the desktop

(I have a program

on that computer that will not work for

some reason on my laptop)..I hear a 

movement beside the desk and look

over to see this.

How adorable. She found a crafting

sponge and was holding it. 

After taking the sponge away from her

since she wanted to eat it I look over

and see her in the process of trying to 

nap!

 

While playing with my program....I was

actually sitting my Christmas card up

in a Christmas card form. Time to have

it printed, I look and find her here.

She gets around...

fast and in stealth mode.

Then all of a sudden....BAM on 

the back of my chair!

Dakota however is laying in the doorway

of the spare room just snoring. 

I did not have a pic to show but

I did pull an older one of him playing. 

My babes love me and I love them. The only

problem with this....getting under my feet while

I walk.

OH MY GOSH....they so need to stop that.

Sleeping/Lily Loving

Yesterday Dakota was napping and Lily

was doing her best, as she walked

over him not to wake him.

 

Last night I caught Dakota

sleeping again!

And Lily spread out over my

heated throw, yes, it is on low for 

her. I get it during the day and she

gets it at night.

Guessing I need to bring the

one upstairs for me to use in 

the evening. 

Oh my gosh...I feel those purrs vibrating 

all the way into my heart.

I don't know what has come over

her but BOY have I been getting

a lot of Lily Love!

I thought I was getting all this

loving because of the colder

weather but just 30 mins ago she was

up on my chest again purring and loving.
