I’ve looked all through the bed covers! No sound! Well, I wondered why it’s so quiet around here lately, so I asked papa and he said, “Loulou, your mama has lost her voice”, and I’ve been thinking about this all day. As in, WHERE does one lose a voice, and HOW does one lose a voice...
Read MoreSurreal Times
Well, am I surreal or WHAT? And not just because it’s strange around here with both of THEM coughing and wheezing, but also because for New Year’s Eve in our little town in France, there is always a theme. This year it is Surrealism, as in Salvador Dali mustaches will be prevalent, I’ll...
Read MoreCountdown
I’m supposed to leave FOOD out for this guy, along with being NICE and not NAUGHTY? Well, 10 days to go before the sleigh bells are heard and the cookies and milk disappear. Wait a minute–cookies and MILK? Papa says he thinks a good single malt alongside mama’s homemade...
Read MoreWhat’s Up, Doc?
HEY, POST–WHERE ARE YOU? Well, I just wrote my blog and it disappeared into the ether, wherever that is. I was writing about mama visiting the doc to see if her cough is serious and it’s not and he said to suck on lemon drops and drink gallons of water and it will wear itself out. Don’t you just...
Read MoreIt’s a Wrap
MAMA- what on earth are you using to wrap those gifts? Well, it’s that time again and mama is in there on the dining room table wrapping up prezzies for the grandanthros and others but I see that she is in a quandary–none of her wrapping papers match and none of them says HOLIDAYS and so I think...
Read MorePuddling Around
Puddles there, puddles here… Well, I was inspired by Ernie to find myself a little warm sun puddle myself in this cold-and-getting-colder weather here in, haha, southern Italy. I think anthros have a picture sometimes of any place that has ‘south’ or...
Read MoreUnleashed
…there be dragons… Well, there is no sun today here in Rome, that’s for sure. Plus mama couldn’t go to her grandson’s soccer match because it’s too cold and she is still battling the residual cough. Thanks for peppermint oil idea, Dezi. But enough of this oh, poor me, mama–it is supposed to be beautiful...
Read MoreThe Mane Cure
Perhaps you have seen this? Well, papa’s ex sent the most WONDERFUL video this morning, and both mama and papa were a bit sniffly when they watched it (well, mama’s sniffly anyway, haha, but not for long; the tea is working), along with me. Isn’t it amazing what animals can do for those who are...
Read MoreParty Time
LET’S ROCK, MAMA! Well, papa went off to a party with the little salmon crackers mama made for it but he didn’t take MAMA! Well mama didn’t go, by choice, so let’s set that straight. And I have her all to myself, haha, to wheedle treats out of her and get rubbed all...
Read MoreThe Odd Couple
Well, Mya’s maman once again sent a sweet story of love to me, knowing how schmaltzy I get over love stories. And how I get even more aw-shucksy over happy endings. This might bring a sunbeam to your day, as it did to mine amidst the rain. Yes, water is coming down, it’s cold and wintry and mama is...
Read MoreControl Freaks
Can you believe this? THE I o T, INTERNET OF THINGS! Well, this morning papa explained to me that there are inventions happening in our civilization that enables an anthro to simply push a button (or whatever) and have his garage open, his windows open or close, his bacon start frying, his washing get washed, his...
Read MoreIn Hot Water
WHAT IS THAT NOISE? Well, you may be happy to know that Fabio, the hot water heater guru, came by today and very quickly gave a surgical procedure to our machine, and we were all smiley and mama gave him some of her biscotti and the bill was less than the other guy was charging who...
Read MoreBrrrrr
Papa keeps me warm and cuddled in this IGLOO! Well, it’s getting colder here and with the heat off, I just stay in the bedroom where there IS some heat and don’t go out except to…well, you know. Let’s cross paws that the guy who ‘fixed’ our hot water heater comes back with some new info instead of having to ask for our...
Read MoreHidden Treasure
THEY HID WHAT WHERE? Well, I don’t know if it’s exactly a ‘treasure’, the item I will talk about, but when a comment came in about mama forgetting where she stashed the Christmas presents, I thought of a funny incident that happened at papa’s...
Read MoreMakin’ a List
You really think he’s checkin’ it twice? I was just about to send mine! Now I’m not so sure…. …maybe just delete a couple of...
Read MoreChristmas Past
Well, this is an old photo of Christmas because I needed to look at some past moments in order to rev up for the ones coming! The things is, mama is in there with her little table full of things that go to one kid or another or SOMEONE and she can’t remember what goes to whom because she...
Read MoreChristmas Past
Well, this is LAST Christmas, but I thought I might get in the mood if I looked at a couple of photos… You have to sort of reve up for holidays, no? Mama is in there with paper and ribbons and tape and things in boxes and bags and I’m not sure she even remembers what is for this...
Read MoreNot A Bum Steer!
Knickers is taller than PAPA? Holy cow…er…tamale! Well, mama was thrilled to make the acquaintance of Knickers this morning. Have you EVER seen such a splendid animal? And now, a little bit like Ferdinand, he wanders his lush pasture and leads all the others in whatever it is cows do and is saved from...
Read MorePick Up Sticks
Well, I’m catching up on my Italian news in La Repubblica because I want to find out more about why our beautiful Roma is full of garbage, neglected, forgotten by the mayor, Signora Raggi. Even I can see from my lookout point in the living room that the piles of garbage outside in the street should NOT be...
Read MoreTime, A Thief
Well, mama is quoting from a song she loves by Kurt Weil, composer of the 30s who wrote “Speak Low”, and in the song are the lyrics, “Love is pure gold, and time, a thief”… In this case, time stole my precious minutes devoted to thinking about my blog and writing it and now...
