BAFFLED!

Posted by on Nov 25, 2018 | 20 comments

                  WHERE DID IT GO? And whose hand is this? Mama doesn’t wear blue polish! Something weird is going on around here… Well, I wrote my blog today and it disappeared!  I mean INTO THIN AIR, whatever that is! Please if you find it, send it to me, haha. It was called Apartment Living and...

Posted by on Nov 24, 2018 | 14 comments

            Well, I’m having a stretch before my yoga practice.                   First, contemplate the limbs you are going to enhance, first, left paw, then right.                   Begin to stretch, stretch, breathing in through...

Follow-up

Posted by on Nov 23, 2018 | 13 comments

            WOW, you ate all that? Well, it was Thanksgiving, after all, and mama came home from the house of friends and reported that a good beef stew cooked for 12 hours overnight is a pretty good substitute for a turkey, roasted 4-5 hours or so… But, she missed the cornbread dressing, as it’s called in Texas...

A Bitter Pill

Posted by on Nov 21, 2018 | 29 comments

            So who’s the smart cookie around here, eh? Well, I have fooled mama, haha, about a gazillion times since that big anthro VET came here and told her to give me some pink pills (the second one from the top left) for 10 days! HAH.  Here is what she has tried, to FOOL me into taking that HUGE round thingy: 1....

Hula Haka

                    (Maybe I should write about another kind of war dance!) SO SORRY, ALL BLACKS, FOR EVEN THINKING YOU COULD HULA! But I’ll bet you do a bangup job of that, too. Mama got her wires crossed between New Zealand and Hawaii…uh, oh. Overworked, I think…...

Lampo e Tuono

            Well, that title is Italian for lightning and thunder, whatever THEY are, but I can tell you this:  about four this dark, grey afternoon, I was sleeping peacefully on mama’s knees when BAMMO!!! I went into the air about a meter (okay, around a yard) and high-tailed it for my security blanket under the bed!...

Pizza Party

Posted by on Nov 19, 2018 | 13 comments

e ka hula ' Well, the little grandanthros and their parents came down into our neighborhood yesterday for Sunday Night Pizza, which I have begun to call it because it’s a tradition now, even in our little French ville where mama makes it from scratch EVERY Sunday come hell or high water. Usually there is a Sunday soccer match, which is why it’s...

Friends Indeed

                  WOW! An earthquake kitty! Well, mama and papa just had old friends visiting, and of course they are kitty-lovers (or they wouldn’t be here long, heh, heh…) and they rescued and adopted a kitty from the big earthquake in Italy last year in the Marche and their kitty sent me a...

Still Shook Up

Posted by on Nov 18, 2018 | 6 comments

(I have to comfort mama after her traumatic event.) Well, mama is still a bit overwhelmed by having her wallet lifted, but she’ll be fine soon.  I should have said, “shaken up”, but I remember hearing those songs that say “I’m all shook up” and I think that applies to mama pretty well. Still, the only thing now that...

LOST and FOUND!

Posted by on Nov 16, 2018 | 24 comments

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? Well, this is really amazing.  Someone is watching out for mama, I think, because after she came home last night distraught (whatever that is) about losing her wallet, she got a phone call from her doctor/friend here in Rome, at 11pm (!), who said, “A man named Miguel just called me and said he found a credit card in the street...

Lost, But Maybe Not…

Posted by on Nov 15, 2018 | 11 comments

            OH, NO, NOT THAT! Well, this will be short. Mama couldn’t find her wallet in her giant purse this evening and thinks she may have left it at a pharmacy where she bought the last thing she used the wallet for…next door to where she and papa were having dinner. But when she discovered it was missing, the...

            Well, maybe you noticed, or didn’t, haha, that I forgot to offer my little kitty thoughts yesterday, but frankly, after having some anthro with a beard walk right into our house and pull out a syringe, whatever that is, full of antibiotic and then on top of THAT to have him pull out ANOTHER one full of...

Foreign Matter

            My ‘security blanket’…haha. Well, the tongue thingy is still with us but I can report tomorrow on what the V-word said today when mama visits his/her office.  Mama went by last week and rang the bell (the door was open) and no one showed up in the waiting room.  Hmmm…not a good beginning but...

                  Hey, mama and papa, did you two have a nice time out gazing at turtles? Well, mama and papa finally found themselves strolling through the ancient ghetto of Rome, at the piazza where the lovely turtle fountain attracts so many tourists. You see there are four little turtles around the top of...

              Well, I am POOPED.  Some guy was here all morning tearing up the bedroom floor (where I sleep UNDER the bed that was MOVED) and so I had to find a closet to snooze in, and there was noise and dust and frankly, I’m hitting the sack early tonight. Thanks for understanding. Now if only I could find MY...

I am on pins and needles about these midterms!!! “La, la, la–anticipation is funny, it makes a cloudy day sunny, makes my tummy all funny, just as yours might be, too….”–haha new words for an old song. I am just all anticipatational (my word) over  this voting business, so all of us here have decided (because of the time...

            May Day, May Day! Well, did you know that “May Day” was originally m’aider, pronounced may-day in French, meaning help me.  You probably know that, but mama has always thought it was so cool, and now she’s crying, “Help me, help me” herself! Poor mama. It appears that to put a...
