New month, new banner! This was created by the wonderful Christine, who’s done most of my banners lately. It’s perfectly adorable and spring-y, isn’t it?

Thanks, Christine!!!

Random dogs and other stuff.

The guy who lives about quarter of a mile down the road from us has these two dogs. Sometimes the dogs are contained in a little shelter, but more often they’re out running around. They like to come down to our property for some reason and sniff around, even though George and Gracie lose their MINDS when they see these dogs coming. They do that big, deep, scary Great Pyr bark, and these dogs always haul ass when G&G bark at them. And yet, they keep coming back.

I’ve tried to get them to come to me (to be honest, if I could get my hands on them, I’d at the very least drag them off to be neutered), but the instant they see a human, they run off.


I think this one’s awfully cute.

There’s another dog, a big white one, that belongs to the people who live five houses or so down the road. Apparently he and the other two are great friends. Check out the frolic action going on.

I know, you want to see George and Gracie pics. Just hold on – I’ve got more George and Gracie pics than you can imagine, and I’ll post ’em tomorrow!

After we walked along the river in Nearville last weekend, we walked up through the historic district and admired all the big old houses.

Can you believe I only took two pictures of houses? I can’t! The picture of that white one does not do it justice at all. It was ADORABLE.

Back before we got Maura, when all we knew was that we were getting a pregnant cat, we thought she might have her kittens immediately (HA HA HA). I know that cats like dark places to give birth, and we don’t have blinds or shades on the windows in the foster room, so I came up with a temporary solution. That’s right, I taped PAPER to the windows. (Could have been worse, right? Could have been newspaper or foil.)

It’s working for now, but Kathy visited last week, and told me that they sell temporary shades at Walmart and Target that would probably work better. I guess she wasn’t impressed by my klassy solution. Hee. I’ll be looking for those temporary shades as soon as I can get my butt to Walmart!


Nothing to see here. Move along.

“What?”


What is it about a belly rub that makes some cats begin to vigorously groom themselves?


Stripes!


Lap o’ kittens.


“I! HAZ! A! COMPLAINT!”

In or out? Out or in? They can’t seem to decide, but they don’t mind making me stand there and hold the screen door for them while they ponder.
