Loulou, we’re not going to wash you, don’t worry. Well, years ago, mama was thrilled when a hunter friend left a couple of wild ducks on the doorstep. “Oh, I’ll clean them, don’t worry,” she said to the gift-giver, and boiled a duck-sized pot of water. In went the ducks,...

Papa soothes my nerves when I’m a bit concerned about things… Well, mama’s and papa’s first venture to the market was fast and fruitful, haha. They were in and out (gloved) in 15 minutes and there were only three people shopping. It’s sad to think that in LA people are...

Well, mama received the most wonderfully funny video today of a comedian leading an orchestra and, well, you’ll see… HILARIOUS. Meanwhile, we are thinking of putting on Beethoven’s Fifth or something as we disinfect our fingers! What music would you choose? Mama, papa and I laughed ourselves...

Read MoreBalcony Bash
They did what? Well, tonight mama and papa’s neighbors went out on their balconies and sang or chatted or something, but alas, we have no balcony and so could not join in the solidarity of isolated folks and won’t know what they did until tomorrow. So papa suggested we look out of our upstairs...
Read MoreLock Step
Just trying to think up some new activity… Well, France is now closed down, thank heaven. Better late than never. But it is so important to STAY HOME because you do NOT know who has the coronavirus and can infect you and others. It is called “stealth” infection, and much of...

A soothed savage beast… Well, my uncle Daniel sent this to add a little lightness and sweetness in our upsetting lives, but while mama and I were watching it, we BOTH passed completely OUT! I nudged mama to help me get this blog out and FINALLY, she woke up and took action! I think we may have the...
Read MorePi In Your Eye
Are you ready? Did someone say PIE? 3.14159265358979793238462643383279502…and so on and so forth… Since today is National Pi Day, I thought I would put a few of the numbers in, but this number actually goes on for eternity, whatever that is, and frankly, I don’t have...
Read MoreHanging With Laundry
To go out or not to go out – that is the question. Well, this is our new laundry mode: Mama is washing all fruits and veggies from our little market nearby, in soap and water for 20 seconds. I’m just afraid she might put ME in there, haha. But of course, I bathe regularly,...
Read MoreJokers, Wild
When you laugh, maybe, possibly, hopefully, if you’re lucky, readers laugh with you. Well, maybe a few funnies are in store every now and then, just to keep our spirits up. Papa told me he knew a man with a wooden leg named Murray. So I asked him, “What was the name of his other leg?” Har, har,...

Phooey, phooey on this terrible virus. Of course, this virus is nothing to joke about, and we hope you are all safe and staying put. We are in a very upsetting situation right now, it is scary, and our strongest good thoughts go out to everyone. It’s hard for mama and papa and all of you...
Read MoreFight Club
No, no gloves, just bare paws of steel! You know, I am basically a pacific kitty, good-natured, loving my fellow papa, mama and others, but every now and then I feel I should be prepared for, say, Rottweilers, or giant seagulls or a crazed rogue chicken, any creature that comes at me with...
Read MoreTupsy Turvy
Oooooh, I feel it’s gonna happen…. Well, sometimes, when you are simply minding your own business, do you just feel you’re not completely balanced? I mean physically, of course, haha, not in that grey matter place, wherever that is, and it seems as if you can just tup over at any given moment and just stay there AND you have no...
Read MoreCalming Chews
Well, Ms McNeil inspired mama and me to talk about a few of the foods that bring calm and serenity to us when chaos appears to be the latest trend! Like chocolate and scotch, mama says, haha… How about that crispy fried chicken that Mary mentioned, and of course the creamy gravy that appears after the...
Read MoreHome Bodies
Do I have to stay out of the garden? No way, Jose. Well, here we are, more or less socked in with hand cleaners everywhere and no visitors, by choice. Sort of lonesome, really, but until we are certain about how to live the day healthily, we’re sticking close to home. Still, I’m pretty sure mama will have to hit the open market...
Read MoreJILTED
I’m catching some rays while our friend, Fred, snips the lemons… Well, my friends, the harvested lemons are now in sacks in the garage and mama has put a box out for neighbors. I mean, what is mama going to do with 500 lemons? Hey, lemonade, lemon curd, Hollandaise (whatever that is –...

No need to hide from helping hints on how to stay healthy. Well, yes, we are all a bit on edge right now–emotional elections to observe, and viruses, colds and flu to be avoided, but the simple precautions that the medical world suggests we observe are really what one would do in flu...
Read MoreMixed Messages
You know, sometimes you wake up and think uh, oh, it’s pouring rain and I have to have my anti-flea-and-tick drops today and then the vet has to check my teeth and mama is STILL giving me rations for a mouse and why has she taken all the sheets off the bed where I am SLEEPING (oh, okay, sheet- washing day, Wednesday) and when is this diet...
Read MoreA Friend Indeed
Well, this is just about the sweetest story Mya’s mama has ever sent to us. And I am particularly touched because I know for sure that having a security blanket/rag/’nana/piggy is very good for one’s health. Mama thinks I get a bit lonesome at times, but we haven’t really covered that...
Read MoreBird Kvetcher
Well, first it’s donkeys, and then doggies, and then even some KITTIES that mama stops to pet and coo over and scratch behind whatever ears are available, but CORMORANTS! The bane of all fishermen, this amazing diver can plunge in to catch a fish and come up many yards/meters away in a very few seconds. So...
