                  Is THAT how one spells it? Well, a little bow to bow-wows today is Dog Mountain, a magical place for doggies and their families. The article is quite long, but I loved the photos and so asked mama to put in a link so you could see them, too. We kitties, of course, do not need resorts and spas...

            MAMA, WHAT WAS THAT WHACK ON THE WINDOW? Well, today was full of drama! I was snoozing quietly, minding my p’s and z’s,  and mama was with me downstairs where all the French doors are, and she heard a LOUD thump and papa even heard it upstairs, but I heard and SAW what had happened! Out on our terrace...

              WHAT ARE YOU MAKING ME WATCH, MAMA? Well, mama about scared me to death when she showed me this! Yes, yes, I know, Halloween is coming up, but jeez, Louise, did I have to be frightened out of my wits this soon? And it was my (kind, sweet, thoughtful?) aunty Barbara who sent this to us.  Do we really know who...

            Mama and papa, you two would never get doggy as my bro’, would you? Well, I don’t know about others’ attitudes toward pit bulls, and certainly they can seem formidable and sometimes scary to anthros when trained to be that way, but this little fellow is a DREAM! You know, first it was...

Well, thank you, bird feeder advertisement.  This is what our bird feeder looks like but not our bird, haha. Nor is it our wall behind.  Mama waited and waited but couldn’t get a pic of the ONE BIRDY who graced us with its presence. HAH!  A birdie alighted…er…alit…er…landed on the new bird feeder for the first time!!! A little...

                  Okay, ball, be prepared to get whacked and ace my opponent! Well, maybe it won’t be the last match of the season, but with this weird schizophrenic weather you just never know if suddenly the sun will come out and make the gravel warm for my game or cold rains will descend and flood the...

                  How did that dum…er…darling chihuahua DO THAT? Oh, boy, Mya’s neighbor sent her a video of a doggy taking precautions when he heard sneezes, but mama couldn’t find it on YouTube so chose this one instead. Of course, we all know around here, but do not speak of it, that...

                  Don’t you worry, Loulou, your TV will work soon.   It’s just having some interference. Okay, mama bought this little bird feeder because her sisinlaw says that in Sonoma, all the birdies are so cute to watch feeding at their snazzy feeder.  It was a surprise for papa and an outdoor...

              Is that RAIN I hear?  I had plans to show my ‘nana the garden! Where do these rains come from anyway.  Yesterday I was relaxing in the garden on top of fresh mulch in the most delightful sun puddle, and today, YIKES. It is pouring and loud and damp and NOT my kind of weather. Maybe papa will make a...

            Wait a minute, Loulou, that’s not UNDER a bed.  That’s under your security pants! Well, Mary McNeil sent this lovely morning story about Stevie and I’d like to share it.   What is happening is that each morning during this pandemic, mama is having her little morning espresso with an uplifting or courageous or just...

                  Just lying here with my feet up, taking a few moments of meditation, but mama has other plans… I know this is weird, but sometimes I just let mama hold my back legs…er…paws…er…feet. Whatever.               I lie there perfectly...

                  WHAT IS THIS GUY  WAVING  AT ME? Well, I was minding my  own business on my exercise mat when papa came at me with a feather whatever…something weird!  Right out of a snooze and into body-building.  Well, body-slimming, I think  he meant.  Is he nuts?          ...

                I was catching up on my reading when Mya’s mama sent an extraordinary story. Oh, you are going to love this. We are in love, all of us here “at home” with this darling hero! And the sweetness and light and happiness he brings to that part of the world, torn by war in the past, with...

              Oh, no, more doggy tales…oh, well…they deserve a place in the  kitty world, too. Well, there is always one, but according to a friend of Mya’s mama, perfect photos are passé!  And we all love a darling misfit, right?  Hey, aren’t all kitties pretty unique in so many ways?  I...

                  MAMA, don’t tempt me with risotto! Well, in this house, fungi are favorites!  Mama makes a mushroom risotto that at least I get to sniff,  No sweet onions, no white wine, no chicken broth (made with onions) or fungi for me. DARN. BUT…sometimes a sniff is as good as a savor, right?...

Ha, ha, loved the one about silliness…just like mama!!! Well, mama went off the deep end again, but if this makes you smile or laugh in any form or manner, it has done its work. In honor of Yom Kippur, a high school friend send this to mama.  Our friend is Jewish, and we respect all religions.  Our friend just wanted us to keep our humor during these...

Please register, obtain a ballot, find transportation to your voting place and vote!  The Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, is in jeopardy, and if it is taken away, we will not have medical insurance for preexisting medical conditions.  Mama says that we may...

                  Well, there is no ban on bains around here!  But I must prepare mentally…shhh. Bathing takes great concentration, you know that, right?  We kitties are simply NOT IN THE ROOM, when bathing, and must not be disturbed by anyone or thing, for fear we might miss a section of much-needed...
