My cats are pretty good mousers which I normally think is excellent, today not so much. I knew he had one cornered and he normally eats them. What made today different is he had in fact just eaten breakfast so wasn’t super hungry. I heard quite a bit of ruckus coming from the kitchen followed by the patter of feet’s running towards the living room. Now if I was more awake I would have realized what was coming I however…
I love my border collie, I even love his incredible ability to learn so quickly (most times). When he was a puppy my husband and I accidentally taught Gus that “Good Boy” meant jump on me and I will pet you. My husband an I have both been sick this weekend meaning less exercise for the nutty herding dogs. I have been on the couch for the last hour or so with Snugglepants our black cat sitting behind me. Gus…
Lots of exciting things happening today at Cacia Farms! We accepted an offer on our house, this means I don’t have to wake up every morning and coral kitties. Tomorrow we have the inspection on the future bigger home of Cacia Farms. We will also have an opportunity to take pictures of the house as well as look more closely at the pastures. Lastly, Ewestace was joined today by another bottle lamb whose mother didn’t want her. My husband got…
My husband is planning guys weekend coming soon and will be out of cell reception. Historically this means something here at home will go horribly wrong, I will then be unable to reach my husband leaving me to fend for myself. He joked this morning while we were eating breakfast which pet is going to get sick while he is gone? I laughed and immediately said Olive. We both looked out the window to see Olive eating twigs. This brings me…
We moved Gus’s recliner into the dining room so that I could paint the living room trim. Usually this chair belongs to Gus so he can look out the window in comfort. Jack however has decided this comfy new chair in the dining room is his new throne. He has been camped out in this chair for days now. Jeff leaves for work just as Jack is settling in for his day in his throne and is still there when…
George was my first cat which means she holds a special place in my heart. Although she hates the just about everyone and all the pets but Sheba, we have come to an understanding. George doesn’t eat me and I only pet her when she asks. When I pet her it is only between the ears since past the ears is the eat me button and I will never pick her up. This arrangement works well for…
I was perusing photos today and found this gem. This proves that not all chaos created in this house is always entirely Jack’s fault. Jeff and I decided on christmas eve one year to test the theory of toast landing butter side down or will the cat land on his feel. I picked up this enormous orange cat and Jeff tied a buttered piece of toast to his back (note that we used festive seasonal ribbon). It was…
When I first met my husband he invited me to go home with him to New York for christmas. We were both currently living in Oklahoma at the time. When I met his mother she absorbed me into the family immediately, like an ameba making me feel like one of her own. I suggested to Jeff that we should build a gingerbread house because I had never built one before. We had so much fun building our…
