You forgot WHAT?
Well, mama is not really quite that du…er…off her rocker, but she just discovered several comments on MY blog that she did not TELL me about and so I’ve just approved them and responded as best I could even if they are out of date!
You know, posting is such fun but sometimes I type too fast. So many readers give me great ideas for a quick blog and it’s hard to keep up. And then again (does this happen to you?), there are days when my little pea brain is BLANK. I like to chat about nice things in the world, or funny things, or the trials and travails I suffer when SOMEONE around here thinks I’m too roly-poly, whatever THAT means!
But now bulbs are popping out and the air is so lovely and clean and wild asparagus are sticking up in our own back yard, thus saving mama the ordeal of trying to find it in the woods. Especially since there are two Master Asparagus Finders in this little village and THEY pillage the plants before anyone can say Jack Robinson, whoever he is.
BUT…spring has sprung, I think. Crossed paws. This means that the “fat” that THEY think I have acquired during winter will disappear overnight. Everyone except mama and papa know full well that it is my winter COAT they disapprove of. Okay, okay, of which they disapprove.
A couple of good brushes and I’ll be down to my fighting weight!
Papa says I “coulda been a contenda” (Marlon Brando in On The Waterfront).
Serena could use some of that 75 degrees!
“Serena,” I said, “would you like to come back to your old nest box in the office during this freeze?”
“Don’t think so, thanks,” Serena nonverbally said.
“But I saw tiny kittens with bright pink skin showing through the sparse white hair on their little paws, down there in your snug nest on the porch,” I said.
“Yes, and I’ll keep them warm, thanks,” Serena said.
Three times during three cold days.
There is some question whether these kittens are even Serena’s own, although I’m fairly sure they are.
Oh, I hope the cold spell is over for those little ones!
That’s IT Loulou – it’s our winter coats!! NOT fat. All that fur underneath the hair that grows in the winter to keep our svelte bods warm! How silly they are. But your yoga moves are beautiful and I’ll keep chasing my toys and going for long walks and they will think our super-modelesque appearance is due to their efforts. If it makes them feel better…..but I’m going to go on strike soon with the zucchini!!
Really, Mya, I can’t think of anything worse except maybe choucroute, haha, pickled cabbage for snacks. ARGGGGH. You keep up the fight, okay? You have the cutest little body and we love it.
