The Pets Say "Hi!"

It's been a while since I made a "pets" post, so here we go!  Have some pet pictures!

Ford always has to hover over me when I'm watching a show.

Whoops!

So that last video of the week post was my 100th in the blog!  And it slipped away without any sort of fanfare.  Oh well.  In that case I shall celebrate my 102nd blog post!  Hurrah!  Oh frabjous day!

And I shall celebrate by posting a vine of my fishies:




They're so pretty.

A Puppy Birthday

Haha, OK, Zoso is no puppy.  In fact he turned nine this month!  Since he's on a special diet, we couldn't get him any special treats.  He's not a huge fan of toys, so that was no good.  Also, he has multiple dog beds and blankets.  So since we couldn't get him any physical objects, we took him for along hike in a new place.  I think he really liked it!

While The Sun Still Shines

I romped around the back yard with Zoso yesterday before the sun finally set.  It was warm, but not quite warm enough.  I think he had a good time - especially with Ryan being gone most of this week on business.  It's hard to cheer him up when he doesn't get to hang out with who he wants to!

Fuzzy Houseguest

Pippa is happy to have people around and always hams it up for the camera.  She hams it up so much it's hard to get a good picture!





Currently I'm locked up in my computer room with our three miscreants while Pippa wanders freely through the house.  Also Zoso is in his crate for eating cat poo because he's a disgusting little mongrel.

Snow Day

Not much else to do but take pictures.

Too Many Animals

Current cat count: four.

Current cat mood: not amused.

Because Life Is Too Short

To not dress up your pets. I have an extensive history of dressing up my pets, beginning with my kitty Scooter Pie who was all mine and no one else's. Besides my guniea pig Comet, who I brought home from the pet store at four years old (me, not her), Scooter was the first pet who was all mine. I picked him out at the shelter - no one else. So I put him in a dress and he loved the attention. I also put him in a onesie one time, but that's harder to do with a cat. No tail hole. He took a tour of all my doll clothes while my doll was shoved into the window seat, never to be seen again.
After Scooter came Ed, and she wore even more clothes!  She didn't love it as much, but she didn't have much of a choice until she was big enough to make her displeasure known.  We didn't dress her up much after that.
For some reason I never felt the need to dress Fry up.  I should have - it would have been adorable!  Zoso, however, has many costumes and clothing.  He doesn't like it much, but he'll do just about anything (everything)  for a treat.
That leaves us with Arthur and Ford.  Of course I dress them up.  Sometimes I even get matchy outfits for them!  Ford will put up with anything.  Arthur goes to his happy place and sits frozen on the floor until I take the clothes off him.

So I've compiled a list of pets in clothes photos for your viewing pleasure - since it clearly wasn't for their pleasure:

Oh... and we dressed Menush up, too.

Saturday Morning Means WORK!

My weekends are Sunday-Monday and I work on Saturdays, so they've kind of lost their excitement.  Friday nights are especially dull and TGIF no longer holds meaning for me.  But sometimes Saturdays are great.  Last Saturday we slept in because the whole of New England came to a screeching halt because of the snow.  It was almost three feet of snow!  The last time I remember that much in one storm was third grade.  That time there was ice on top of the snow and we had fun sliding up and down the drifts until I got the bright idea to "surf" the ice and ended up breaking my lip open.  That hurt!  But the snow was still pretty fun.
Ryan has been working through every weekend lately, so he has even less excitement when Friday rolls around.  At least his weekend work days tend to be shorter - and he brings Zoso to work with him on weekends, so he isn't stuck at home with a bunch of cats.

Speaking of pets, did you know Petco had cute little Valentine jester outfits?  Did you know they're super cheap right now?  Oh yes.

Ford puts up with just about any outfit.  He's an easy-going cat.

The Blizzard of 2013

There was snow.

LOTS OF SNOW

I wasn't kidding!  I even measured the snow on my leg and it looks like it's at 23-4 inches without drifting.  One of the drifts is up to my shoulder!  If only we were a bunch of kids again, I'd be out there building a fort and not in here wondering why I feel cold, haha!

There are a bunch of random pictures at the end of the video, and I'll be putting them under a cut here if you'd like to take a closer look at them.

Spreading the News

I hate the idea of closing an animal shelter, but this place drags the wonderful people who DO care about animals through the mud with its actions. Everyone who lied to the owners and murdered poor Porkchop should lose their jobs (at least). Oh, Porkchop :( I'm so, so sorry.


A facebook post from Porkchop's owner.


Please sign this petition in Porkshop's memory.

This picture belongs to the person who posted the facebook note:

Rest in peace, little guy.

Hopefully the terrible thing that happened to you will do some good for other animals facing your situation.

New Video: Episode Five!
