Wordless Wednesday: Synchronized Snoozing

Toesday with Minnie

Yello!

It's me again, Minnie!

Do you see that between my pawsies?

You haveta look real close!

Yeah, it's an ANT!!!

We had a small invasion on Sunday mornin.  Wriggley had left his boney-bone layin on the floor. Oh sure, it was pretty petrified from bein lost outside for the past week at least, but apparently it was still a worthy prize for the ants.

Til now, we had been doin a good job with keepin things clean and preventing attacks.

I told mom just to spray the chemical stuff along the wall, where they were comin in, and I'd take care of the rest...

mmmmm!  Ants!

They're paw-lickin good!

hee hee!

Have a great Toesday, efurryone!

Another Crazy Caturday Night

We had some excitement here last night.

Well, this time at least we didn't have fireworks boomies...
we just had fire!

We were all takin it easy last night and watchin movies.  We all heard a noise in our backyard.  Mom just figured it was introoder kitties, or something like that and didn't think much of it.  I was sure something was wrong and I wouldn't leave the window!

Guard-Cat Minnie on duty!


I convinced mom to go out there and check.  Well, that's when she saw smoke and dust on the other side of our back fence!  Our house backs up to a vacant lot and the brush back there was on fire!

What with the fence and the bushes we have along it in our yard, mom couldn't see anything but the smoke.  Sometimes that lot gets pretty overgrown with weeds and mom also couldn't remember how much brush was back there.  The back fence is brick but we were still a bit worried about our over hanging bushes catching fire.

The fire department came and had it out in no time at all.  Thank you Williams Fire Department for keepin us all safe!

When mom took Wriggley out for a run last night she couldn't see much.  We sent them out again this morning  with the flashy box so we could see where the fire was an all.

The arrow marks our house and I tried to delineate our yard with the red lines.  You can see there really wasn't much brush back there and the brick fence protected us.  Here's a closer look:

The red line is about where the neighbor's yard starts and the trees and shrubbery hanging over the wall is our yard.  It was more scary for us mainly cause we couldn't see anything.

We are enjoyin an Easy Sunday today.  We were supposed to get some rain too, so we made sure mom took Wriggley out early to get us the pictures (...and to let him have some fun...but mainly for the pictures...).  And sure enough, not long after mom got home...

Lookit the rain!


Mom is really bummed she won't be able to mow lawns and such today.  We'll have to hide the sucky monster so she doesn't get any ideas along those lines.
I'm gonna hang out here and watch for more rain...and maybe some bird tv, if there's a good program on.

See you!

Smidgielocks and the Black Lab

Whew!  I just got back from a great run!

I could use a rest!
I wonder if mom has put my bed back together since pulling it from the laundry?

(Meanwhile...)

Aww, rats!  My bed still isn't finished...wait...hang on...

Wordless Wednesday: Knock Knock...

Toesday with Minnie

Are you ready for some football?

I've always wanted to say that!

It's a real fun game.  Mom kicks the footballs for me to catch.

Or chase.

Ooommmph!

Then she goes and gets it an kicks it again for me!  See?  Fun!

I have a lot of these footballs and mom will sometimes kick a whole bunch for me to chase.

And then she rounds them up an we play again.

I hope you're havin a fun Toesday too!

Easy Sunday Interrupted

What the?

Really!  Do you have to bring that Sucky Monster in here now?

Well, I guess it's ok...as long as you stay over there.

(But then...)

Don't worry!  

I'm ok...

Apparently the Sucky Monster had all ready fed on Smidgen's catnippy toy and was full.

Pip: Is the coast clear?

Minnie: This toy sure is a goner!

Now...where was I?  Oh, yes...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz....
