Un-Planned.

Our friends got this adorable puppy (Chico) a few days ago and sadly had to go out of town this week. So, I get to puppy sit. Yay!

Isn't he adorable? He is a bit of a handful, but he is so sweet and cuddly and all-in-all pretty well behaved. Although, the little one is chewing my laptop ... again.


We have been so incredibly busy this summer, but more about that later. I am thinking of you and looking forward to spending some catch up time with all of you and your lovely blogs. Hugs. xox=vv.

Alpha-Betters.

Last Matilda-esque picture for a little while I promise! I really have more important things to show you. Anyway though, this is the prototype of a little sticker set that I have been drawing obsessively. They are so much fun!! I call them alpha-betters and they are little personalized monogramed hand drawn stickers. This one is on Matilda’s skirt and you may have already guessed that M is for Matilda *smile* See, I told you yesterday that you were a smart little carrot and I was right!!

Speaking of carrots, most kittens don’t like water but mine are doing the backstroke in their dish. Why it that? Must they splash around? Doesn’t that seem unnatural? What does this have to do with carrots? hmmm ... pondering.

p.s. The order will be placed shortly! So, please email me at vegasandvenice@comcast.net if you are interested in purchasing a Shy Monsters coloring book or stickers in the next run. I will keep the run very limited again and only order the amount requested. Thank you very much! Have a wonderful day!!

Conehead And The Sad Tiny Kittens.

Well, Squiddles is doing well so far. His eye is healing nicely. It is tough for him though since he has to wear an Elizabethan collar. However he seems spry and playful.

Sam and Sophie on the other hand are overly playful. They are confined to our master bedroom and my walk-in closet. Sadly they have to be separated for 10 days and I think it is a bit hard on the siblings. They meow at each other a lot through the door and it kind of breaks your heart. Since we can not reunite them any sooner, we have found a simple resolution to their sadness, we simply turn up the t.v. till we can’t hear them any more.

I must admit it works well. The Daily Show has always been the worthy opponent of sad little kittens.

Worried.

We are keeping ourselves busy today by re-organizing the entire house. It may not sound like a lot of fun but it did it’s job properly.

Tomorrow, at 7 am, we drop off Squiddly, Sam and Sophie for their operations. Squiddly is having his left eye amputated, Sam is being neutered and Sophie spayed. Is it needless to say that we are more than a little worried about them all?

Sorry, no pictures today. I don’t have anything that could convey how we are feeling.

Eye Love Him.

Tough day. We found out that our cat Squiddles needs to have his right eye amputated due to Glaucoma. It has been a very busy crazy week, but this makes it quite a bit tougher. I don’t want anything to happen to him, but apparently it is causing him a lot of pain. We don’t know what caused it yet, but we are praying that it is not life threatening.

Don’t Rub His Nose In It.

After politely asking Charlie, our dog, to finally pull some of his weight around here and take out the trash, he responded by spinning around in circles and making a horrible growling Chubaka sound that brought Star Wars Nerds* from miles around to our front door.

As we are wont to do we translated his reply “I CAAAAAN’T take out the trash ...I don’t have any hands” said I. “I don’t have opposable thumbs” said Si. As a signal that he was released from his trash duties, due to his current circumstances, I gave the international (and Interspeecial) signal that it was time to play. In a typically effective manner I made some high pitched sounds and waved my “I’m gonna get you” grabby hands in his general direction. Normally this marks a dedicated time which requires Charlie to run around the house like a crazy maniac, or a bus that will explode if it travels under 80 miles per hour. When he stood there with a strange look on his face and did not move an inch, I gave Si a confused look. To which he yelled in a defensive and protective tone “Oh sure rub his nose in it.”

I giggled hysterically. Really, this is one of the funniest things Si has ever said. Get it? See, I was waving my hands and fingers at Charlie, and now he was clearly upset cause he did not have any of those fabulous things called “hands or fingers”.

Not so funny typed out? Well fine, but thats why I write this blog and not you. Although, considering the quality of this site maybe you should start. Please. Pretty Please.

*I love Nerds of all shapes, sizes and sects*

Newness.

This is Sam. He is new. Just like this blog. Please bear with me while this site is lovingly crafted, cradled and comforted like a newborn baby. Then, grossly manipulated.
