Tyson back at home recovering from surgery. I had to decide on taking a chance with the anaesthetic at his age, 12 years, or probably loose him. I was pleased when when I get the call that he had recovered. He is being really spoiled at present - but he is getting back to his usual self!!!

From Santa, of course.

I wanted to remove that white speck from her nose, but she'd have been so annoyed that she'd walk away and shut down our photo session.

Bit would say hi, but she's clearly pouting about something.

from lower left corner, clockwise:

Cousin, Otis, Tina, Cricket, Idaho

(all boys except for Tina)

This "dog" bed will accommodate six cats, but Tina occupies it alone a lot of the time.

...I mend.

when cleaning out my walk-in closet I found an old dog bed. it's back in working order again.

It is hot.

And humid.

And we're out of clever things to say.

Hope you're all staying cool! 😎

... 52 weeks for dogs ... well ... half on the dogbed ... have you seen these paws ? ...

...and the cats had changed into this conga line.

(L to R): Tina, Cousin, Otis

L to R: Muse, Cricket, Tina

Today, Muse was accepted on the dog bed -- the cats' favorite spot for group sleeping. He was, in fact, sprawled on the dog bed.

(left to right): Cricket, Cousin, Tina, Otis

(Cousin is semi-feral.)

When cool temperatures arrive, there is an ever-changing configuration of cats on this dog bed.

(counterclockwise, from lower L: Cousin, Tina, Otis, Cricket, Camille)

Trawling through some old files and stumbled across this one from December 2016!

(Cousin is semi-feral.)

Otis is sunk way down in the cushion, making all of his appendages settle into a compact oval like a cocoon or womb.

This is Cousin (L) and Tina (R).

from the front, clockwise: Otis, Cousin, Tina, Cricket

back to doing some handwork.

some people work their fingers to the bone while SOME people just lie there and sleep.

[actually I'm sitting in front of the computer right now drinking a coke float. since I started my medication vacation, my healthy diet has gone down the tubes.

not really, I'm just augmenting it a bit.]

this is an old Target dog bed, I'm adding some tropical patches. I'm into tropical right now.

this is for Pat

I think Cricket looks like a bodyguard, here, because Tina is so tiny by comparison.

Cricket is the tabby (male). And Tina is our diminutive female.

He's poised to run if I get any closer.

Hollycat. She sometimes deigns to share it with Belle. But ONLY sometimes.

Is there an event called the "Sprawl" in the cat Olympics?

There are no cat Olympics? Well, there should be.

Actually, Cousin was just looking up from having his face buried in Otis's fur (adjacent photo).

She is posing very nicely on the new dog bed.

Cousin (tabby) still doesn't like to be touched by humans, so I'm glad he's close to his feline family. Cousin adores Otis.

aka our "dining room"...

That's Cousin (tabby), Tina (tuxedo), and Otis (dilute orange tabby).

Sally bought this gigantic dog bed for Potato, who has taken up residence on that table. She did, however, expect that Potato would share it with others.

You can barely see Tina's head-- mostly her black chin and the tips of her paws. That's a third cat below Cricket's paws.

8/52: The weekly challenge - Story telling.

This is the story of Bruno, a beautiful golden retriever who found himself needing to be re-homed at the age of twelve. He went to live with his new people who think he's wonderful...he thinks they're okay too. When his new people went to collect him they were told he didn't sleep in a bed but his new people didn't like the idea of that so they bought him a beautiful plush new bed which Bruno loves to sleep in, snoring away happily. Don't you just love a happy ending?

I'm pleased to say Bruno has accepted our new grandson into the house without any problems...not that we really thought there would be, he's such a gentle giant!
