Redistribution Strikes Feline Life....

 

                     

 

Editor's note - this is a true account of a cat I know who was the victim of such treatment. He now understands the meaning of "there is no rest for the weary."

May your 'mines' remain yours so you can share what is yours when you have a mind to....

Charlie Brown and The Guinea Pig

Yes - Charlie Brown and the Guinea Pig. 

You all know this tree. Sad, wimpy, a loser, if trees are classified as such. 

And yet this tree probably graces more households this year than ever before and will become one of most remembered in years to come. I know it will for me. 

I have a wonderful husband who loves me more than anything. We both knew we were going to get a Charlie Brown tree this year. I had planned on going to a local field to try to find a scrawny 2 foot something that would suffice. But he said he would go to his parents and bring one back. I said that would be fine, of course. And so in the interest of eco-friendliness, he and his dad enjoyed a moment of father-son togetherness as they picked out this dandy, dug it up, and placed it in a biodegradable pot so we could give it to someone else to plant in the hard frozen ground when we are finished with it.

I have decided to call it Herman because "Her" (that's me) "man" (that's hubbs), got it for me. 

This is Violet, my guinea pig. Isn't she sweet looking?

Don't let that face fool you!

She can be WILD!

I have 5 guinea pigs that each have their own cage. Violet and her son share the table top where Herman now sits. So I placed her underneath my desk on the rails. 

I have had several piggies sit here with no trouble....

until NOW! This is what I came home to after running. She apparently was doing a little running of her own! But I will commend her for staying IN her cage in spite of the opportunity to run off!

And while I am on the subject of guinea pigs....

I received these lovely prints from my dear friend and Petsjubilee teammate, Pauline from PaulinesFashions on Etsy. I LOVE them! 

Thank you, Pauline! I love you!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas whether you have a Charlie Brown one or not! And try to stay out of trouble....

Newest shop! Illustrating all those verification words!

Well....I have done it again. Opened another shop on Etsy! I must be addicted. This is my fifth. But this one was just begging to be created! You know all those ridiculous verification words you must type in for many blogs? Paddlypat, dangu, tative, and my fave, ubolowle! So many funny words! My mind insists that they be defined each time I see them, and almost instantly something comes into focus of what this must mean. So I thought I would do everyone the favor of actually giving all these poor neglected words a place in life! The Verification Cat defines and illustrates these in ACEO form. Each one is colorful and original. TVC, as I call him, gives an accurate definition, illustrates it, then gives a sample sentence at the bottom. He would also love to have you pass along your own odd verification words so he can add to his collection. Here's a few samples of what you'll find at The Verification Cat shop on Etsy! Just click on any one of them to be taken to the listing in the shop. SO put on some UBOLOWLE, have a seat ( but not for too long, lest ABLUXES consume you!) and enjoy your visit! 

Please feel free to leave your 'VERI' words for TVC in the comments or through the Etsy shop.
