Merry Christmas

Mom said we should stop all of our busy stuff and wish all of our blogging friends a Very Merry Christmas.  Mom says we have some special gifts and we just can’t wait.  We hope all the fur people get some extra loving and care at this special time of year.  More importantly, we hope everyone….humans and fur people alike….may carry this sense of peace and harmony into 2018.

Tuesday Talks

 

My Boys2Tonight we were sitting together and chatting with Mom.  She told us that yesterday the air conditioner went out at work so it was hot and stuffy and she was afraid to go in today.

She should have stayed home with us then ‘cuz we had cold air in the house.

You’re interrupting again, Steinbeck.  She said when she got to the office it was kind of cool but it was real wet.  She said all the papers felt damp  She said it was like being in a swimming pool locker room.

I know I wouldn’t like swimming pools ‘cuz I hate baths!!!  Did Mom feel like she was taking a bath.

Of course not.

The boys

Mom, we love it when we can have these chats.

(I’m amazed I was actually able to get a picture of you with your eyes open, Little One.)

Mom, did you tell Steinbeck about your niece?

What’s a niece?  Is it like catnip?

No, Steinbeck.  A niece is not food or treats.  It’s Mom’s brother’s daughter.  You know her.  She comes over here and pets you.

Oh, now I’m on the right page.  What about her?

This is a picture of her when she was a little girl.  She’s sitting on Cinder.  You never met Cinder.  She was old when I came here but she and I were best buddies.  Anyway, Mom’s niece got her first job as a licensed RN today.  She’s going to work in a hospital where Mom has had to go before.

Mom’s going to the hospital????

No.  Once again you are not listening.

That’s because I was thinking about doing the “Slappy Paws Dance”.

Mom……..that’s the end of our chat!

Secret Conversations

You’ve got to be quiet, Steinbeck.  We’ve got some important talking to do.  Make sure Mom is not around.

She’s in the other room and I think she fell asleep. If I keep my eyes shut she won’t see me anyway.

Good, and while you’re at it, keep your mouth shut, too.  Now, May is almost over and you know what that means.

Winter’s coming?

No, goofball.  The next month is June.

Hey………..that’s when my birthday is!!!

I know.  Mom will celebrate it big time like she does with all of our birthdays.

So, why do I have to be quiet about that?  Mom already knows.

But also in June is Mom’s birthday.

It is???  No wonder I like her so much.

Anyway…………..we have to try to do something special for her.  Do you have any ideas?

I can share my catnip with her…..or let her use my red dot toy.

Boys????  What are you doing???

Nothing, Mom………and I’m not up on top of the computer desk.

Nothing, Mom………I’m just chewing my fingernails so you don’t have to clip them.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm………..

 

Toesday!

It’s a lovely spring day here.  While Mom was at that working place, Hemingway and I just lounged around admiring our toes!

Here’s a picture of the front of my toes.  See that chewed spot by my foot?  I was trying to hide that.  Mom said that’s some of my beaver-wanna-be work.  She says I’m really good at it.

Here’s my cute pink foot pad.  See the little tufts of fur?

Here are my pink toes with my fluffy tail and more toe tufts.

Good grief, Steinbeck.  Do you really think our readers are interested in your body parts?

M…O….M!!!!  Steinbeck is sticking out his tongue again!!!

I’m Doing the Selfie

Mom said it’s my turn for the selfie, so here goes.  First I had to figure out where the flashy box was.  Mom always hides it from us.  I finally found it but I didn’t know how to use it.  I asked Hemingway and he wouldn’t tell me.  He kept saying that I would just get in trouble.  How’s a little guy supposed to do a selfie if nobody helps?

Here’s what I finally came up with.

Steinbeck Selfie

In case you’re wondering, I was looking for the button to push for the selfie.  I never did find it so I don’t know how this picture happened!!!  Spooky things seem to happen around me.

I told my friends I would remind all of you to check out their pictures on the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop.  They all did great!!!

We’re Sharing the Spotlight

Our Sunday Selfie is actually a DOG!!!!  How did Mom let this happen??

What’s a dog?

Steinbeck, you’re too little to know about the dog who used to live here.  However, we have two “cousins” who are dogs.  They bark, like the dog behind us and the dogs on the side of us.  Except that Axel and Champ don’t bark at me ‘cuz they’re my buddies.

So a dog is something that barks.

Well, it’s more than that.  Mom’s niece has two dogs and one is a really, really big one!  Stella is what they call a Newfoundland and she’s even bigger than me!

I saw her when she was over here and I didn’t want to get anywhere near her.

You’re still little so you don’t know that the dogs can be our friends.  I’ll help you learn that.

Will I have to bark?

No, goofy!  Now, lets share Stella’s Selfie for the day:

My Sunday Adventure

Howdy, Readers!!!  I had an adventure today and Mom said I could tell you all about it.  First of all, she said I have to explain that this is February and this is Minnesota and this weather just doesn’t seem right.  The humans are even going to have a BBQ this afternoon when they should be bundled up in jackets and shoveling snow!    Since this is my first February, I have no idea what the weather is supposed to be.  Well, I got to go outside and I had fun!!!

i-did-it

I did it!  I went outside to explore and feel the sun on my furs.

in-and-out

This is how I started.  I wasn’t sure if I wanted to be inside or outside, so I chose both!

nobody-can-see-me

Mom put one of my favorite boxes outside so I could hide.  Now nobody can see me.

lion-pose

Mom says this is my lion pose and she loves it!

Now go visit the Sunday Selfies of my other friends.
