Labor Day Weekend Lounge, August 30-31, 2014

Morning Joan 🙂 I have been saying D&%* Auto-Correct for the last couple of days, drives me bat crazy

Morning all! ….. oh EC, I did LOL at the yakkage under the ‘Yum’ wall ….. only a cat! what purrrrfedt irony!

….. was going to (notice past tense) try and sleep in today ….. Abby had other plans ….. she managed (per Mr. AV) to yakk up her breakfast in the middle of the foyer (thank goodness for hardwood) …. and when Mr. AV refused to feed her more, she decided to come ‘tell’ me about it ….. after sitting on my head numerous times, while ‘talking’ about it for 30 min. I finally gave up and followed her downstairs to give her the ‘other half’ of her morning can …… conveniently, Mr. AV had disappeared outside to the golf studio to putz around in there, so he wasn’t privy to the pittiful saga Abby was singing …..

….. today is my rest day, I think I might try and do some errands later, but motivation is low, so I may not get to them 😉

Am angling for one of the chairs by the fire. I love snow, and winter is my best time of year. Today I am looking after my youngest grandson- he is currently growling like a small dinosaur. Apparently he is very hungry (which is odd seeing how much he has eaten). We have house rabbits for company and a small herd of free range guinea pigs in the garden. I have counted 5 but there may be more. Everyone is doing their own thing- strange not to have Dru cuddled up or leaping around the place. I would love to teach her to play fetch- how do I start?
Happy weekend everyone- hope it is the best.

Hey Judith 🙂 you snuck in there ..

I’ll be honest Noodle is only one of two cats I’ve ever had that played fetch.. Lady Muck was my other fetch boy 🙂 and they kinda start doing it themselves.. But with Noodle I’ve offered him a treat when he brings the ball/paper back and he now associates the word fetch with bringing the paper back.. Sometimes though he’s having too much fun you kinda have to wait for him to want you to throw it again.. But I find it very easy to train a cat to sit, stand and give the paw..

‘Noddle’! Poor Noodle:)

I think noodle is the first cat I’ve ever seen fetch. None of my boys would do that. If I throw something they would chase it, play with it and if I went to get it back, run off with it. Noodle really is a clever boy and it’s so nice seeing that despite his missing leg that he is running around and playing.
On the subject of smart animals I’m reminded of a dog that belonged to a friend of my Nan. If he heard you sneeze he would bring you the box of tissues that were kept on the coffee table.

Oh how cool AV!!! Hope you can get one in Home Depot !!

Aww how sweet KM!! Cute trick for a doggie!! Our Doggie Mac ( black Labrador long since gone 🙁 )

He used to knock on our front door so well we were always convinced a person was at the door!! Eventually he got so good at it we had to remove the door knocker 🙂 he also knew Irish 🙂

Hey ECB 🙂 you know Harry potter I’ve never properly watched…must deffo watch them 🙂

Oh today I did something special for Mr B.. I bought an antique frame in the shop I work and had a lovely pic of him and Smelly Cat printed out so now he has his ” me & my cat” pic with Smelly cat..
