Haircut

Mommy left me alone with Daddy this weekend and look what happened:

I got my spring haircut!

It's a relief, because my hair was so long and getting in my eyes, my mouth, and other places.  HOWEVER.  I hate the buzzy hair trimmer with a passion.  I don't even like it when people make buzzy noises. 

Jeff tried his very best to help me.  He stayed nearby while Daddy tortured me, then he came into the bathroom during my bath.  He may be a pesky little brother, but I guess he loves me.

Perching

Looking out the window is one of my favorite past times.  There are lots of people and animals to entertain me.  Sometimes I fall asleep, and that's pretty great too.

Here's my general posture, in case you want to emulate my style:

Practical, with a stylish curl of the tail!

Here's another of my head, turned to look outside:

I wish Mommy would pull up the blinds.  They obstruct the view!

Here's how it looks from above:

You can see that I am lying on both the couch and the platform of the kitty condo.  I'm thinking about patenting this style.  It's pretty advanced, so don't try it without proper spotting.

A Long Vacation

Mommy and Daddy flew away for weeks and weeks!  I was so sad.  Auntie Nessa took care of me and Jeremy, but then Bunny and Hunter came.  That was good, but the next thing I knew Jeremy and Hunter (and Kitty) were fighting.  Nooooo!

Auntie Edit came and took Jeremy away to her house.  I was jealous/relieved.  Jeff Buckley had already gone away to Mr. Kelly's house.  It was all so confusing.  Anyway, then Hunter left and Jeremy came back.

Are you lost yet? 

THEN Bunny went home and Mommy and Daddy came back!

I was so happy I thought my butt would break from all the wagging.  I'm not ashamed to say that I even whined a bit. 

A few minutes later Mommy and Daddy brought Jeff home and we played....and played... I didn't realize how much I would miss that little baby brat.

No photos because we were all too exhausted and slept the entire next day.  Cuddle heaven.  Here's a photo of some of the far away cousins that Mommy and Daddy played with because they missed me and for absolutely no other reasons:

Lizard Hunting

On Saturday, Mommy let us play outside for a long time.  Annika came out and showed us how to hunt lizards. 

I was skeptical.

Jeff, however, was intensely focused on learning all he could from Kitty.

Annika insisted that the lizard had crawled under the tarp, so we tried to surround it to root it out.

But I never saw it.  I think it got away.  Wait, is that it?

Nope.  Just a piece of bark. 

Backyard Race Day

Jeff took birthday monkey out in the yard today to get me to chase him.  It worked!  We had so much fun wrestling and racing that Mommy came out to take some photos.  Here's one:

Can you see my ears going flappity flap?

In this one you can see that we're actually chasing:

Then Mommy drove off to work.  A few hours later, she came home and loaded us in the car to go talk to the weird window again.  That part was boring but she drove with the windows open so we got lots of breeze.  It was so nice that we were quiet the whole way (no fighting!).  I am soooo happy today.

Cult of Lobsty

Since I was small, I have belonged to the Cult of Lobsty.  Lobsty is a constant in my life of worshipping toys.

This is actually the very first Lobsty, Lobsty I.  He was blue and I loved him.

Lobsty III is red, just like Lobsty II.  One of the reasons I worship him is because he has lots of braided legs, a stuffed body, and little felt bits, all of which are great to grab onto for a game of tug.  He has heft, but isn't awkward to carry, like Octy-puss. 

Jeff is a new convert:

I'm so happy!

Living Room

Mommy moved the living room furniture around yesterday, which was very confusing.  When she was done, though, I realized that Something Wonderful had happened.  Mommy was much more available for playtimes and snuggles.

Here's Jeff snuggling:

and here's me thinking about getting a toy to play with:

I like it!
