Self-ish…

Posted by on Dec 11, 2019 | 10 comments

                    No, this is not a shark’s fin… Well, mama’s help with my selfies is just about nil, as you will see from these pathetic attempts, but to be fair, mama FINALLY took one that passed muster, whatever that  is. Maybe it is muster that’s been hanging her up with these...

Heartache

Posted by on Dec 10, 2019 | 13 comments

(I’m trying to help mama feel better about losing such a good author.) Well, mama recently re-discovered the late Norah Ephron’s book, Heartburn, and fell in love all over again with  this amazing writer/journalist/screenwriter (When Harry Met Sally, for example) and now mama is almost about to finish Ms. Ephron’s works and is getting...

Foodie Fraud

Posted by on Dec 9, 2019 | 16 comments

You left out WHAT? Bad mama… Well, mama was writing an article about  how when someone asks for a recipe, the person with the recipe sometimes forgets one teeny ingredient that makes or breaks the whole shebang!  Mama’s mama was guilty of that–everyone wanted her stuffing (dressing in Texas) recipe and she always left out one little...

Taking The Rap For A Nap

Posted by on Dec 8, 2019 | 13 comments

                  Hey, I was NOT the one napping…but I said it was I because mama was snoozing after a long day and couldn’t help me with my pics on the blog. I still haven’t figured out how to work the Adobe with my paw, but what  the heck. SO…since mama was taking a few winks, I decided...

Taking A Break…

Posted by on Dec 7, 2019 | 15 comments

              Hello, everyone. I’m taking a little hiatus right now because I started too late to get today’s blog in the condition in which I would like the world to read it, haha. I promise a bit more tomorrow…. after a little...

Thing You Never Noodle Now

Posted by on Dec 6, 2019 | 12 comments

                    Well, yesterday mama and papa had papa’s ex and her friend for a lunch and mama made fresh pasta that is called tajarin, a name used in the Piedmont area of Italy with a mushroom sauce or white truffles (if you have a truffle doggy, haha). The pasta was fine, but it was the tea...

Chef Papa

Posted by on Dec 5, 2019 | 14 comments

                  I think there has been a mixup in my treats… Well, I have to tell you that it’s usually mama who gives me a little treat when I…er…uh…do something to generate a little special Party Time (mixed with low-fat kibble – you can’t pull one over on me, mama,...

Holiday Ho Ho Ho

            Loulou, you are one sharp kitty, knowing those birdies are fake! Well, mama has just put up our tiny tree and it’s filled with birdies, but I know very well they are not real and so I am simply enjoying the view…                   Maybe if she rubbed each one...

Brush Off

            Shed, shed, shed those blues away, shed, shed shed until you’ve gone from z to a  tell  St. Peter at the Golden Gate, that you hate to make him wait you’ve just gotta shed,  shed on the couch today…la la la… 🎼🎶🎵 Well, with all this talk of shedding and kitty hair on black clothes (or navy...

Play Girl

Posted by on Dec 2, 2019 | 18 comments

                  Okay, okay, I’m pulling the string! Well, not exactly, but mama is attempting to keep my waistline trim, whatever that means, and so lures me into chasing a string every morning and evening. That is, if I feel like it, right? Sometimes I just look at her and think, “Could we just...

No Combat With A Wombat

Posted by on Dec 1, 2019 | 8 comments

            (At least papa snuggles me when mama’s smitten.) Well, mama is in love again with the most amazing creature.  I watched the video and frankly, I thought that little cutie looked like a bon bon or a very strange tiny baby, and…er…I guess she was!  Wombat babies have to be the most darling and...

Cockatoodling…

Posted by on Nov 30, 2019 | 10 comments

            Ha, ha, ha… Oh, boy, this is a doozie.  Mya’s mama finds the most extraordinary videos because she knows mama loves to wake up laughing, and in this case, she fell off her chair at breakfast, laughing while attempting to sing along with this batty birdy. With emphasis on “attempting”, haha....

Disenchanted

Posted by on Nov 29, 2019 | 17 comments

                  Uh, oh, mama’s on the warpath. She and papa, as you might have guessed by now, are avid soccer fans, but in the Roma game last night against a Turkish team, one of the Turkish fans threw a hard object at Pelligrini, who was taking a corner  kick, and it hit him in the forehead and  drew...

Midnight Oil

Posted by on Nov 29, 2019 | 6 comments

  Whatever that  is.   Evidently it’s something mama says she can’t burn right now. It’s midnight! I think mama may have put some on my food when she got in tonight…or was that olive oil? Mama and  papa got home so late tonight from their Thanksgiving beef stew dinner that mama couldn’t even help me polish off my blog,...

Talkin’ Turkey

Posted by on Nov 27, 2019 | 20 comments

WHAT? NO TURKEY? Well, still, I think in honor of Turkey Day, I will put in this and hope the turkeys of the world feel supported. However, to be totally truthful, I’m kind of sorry mama is not roasting her mama’s recipe for turkey, because THEY are going out and none of the guests want turkey and so they are having that beef stew I mentioned...

COUNTDOWN

Posted by on Nov 26, 2019 | 12 comments

                  Hey, this isn’t turkey, it’s FISH! Well, Turkey Day is approaching but we’re having beef stew that a friend is making.  BUT…another friend is making pumpkin pie, so I guess we’ll be a bit traditional if not 100%. I think I can have pumpkin pie, just a tad, no? We...

Something Fishy…

Posted by on Nov 25, 2019 | 8 comments

                  Well, yet another great image from Mya’s maman, who says, “Look what kitties can do in Italy!“ But frankly, I’ve never run into this kettle of fish anywhere (not that I get out much…sigh) but in the open markets somewhere, there is probably a kitty having quite a nice little first course before she/he...

Fashionista

Posted by on Nov 24, 2019 | 16 comments

            Not sure I have the moves (or the body!) for the catwalk…poodles are so elegant. Well, I’m afraid I’m up against Mr. Lagerfeld’s Choupette or even Grumpy Cat when I see what Ellie, the poodle, can wear so beautifully.  You remember that mama tried to get me in that PINK recovery suit after I...

Black Flack

Posted by on Nov 23, 2019 | 14 comments

              Well, mama is chastising me again for something truly silly. This time it’s because I was so, so glad to see papa when he had been out with mama at the little grandanthro’s soccer match that I really wanted to snuggle down on the nice new sweater he had been wearing and bond a little with...

Midnight Musings

Posted by on Nov 22, 2019 | 14 comments

                  Oh, no, are they back already?  I had better straighten up things… You know, sometimes mama helps me with my thoughts and writing and what I want to say in  my musings, and tonight I was tardy in starting my blog so I waited until mama and papa  came in  from what used to be called a...
