I think Prussia has a nose whistle, but I don’t think my phone captured the audio ☹️

Mother, please do not get in the nasty water. I will bathe you like a proper cat.

Sitting in a hotel bar and people watching. This is one of my favorite activities.

Sheba may be old and cantankerous, but she sure knows how to sleep.

Is Miss Mary Mack asking her mother for fifteen cents or fifty cents? Either way it’s a bargain for elephant fence hopping.

Spot the cat

Someone talk me out of buying one of those hummingbird feeders with a camera.

It’s ok mother, we can just stay in bed today.

They BEGGED to go out 10 seconds before this (For those who are new, Mina gets supervised outside time with Prussia and she is physically incapable of leaving our fenced yard and emotionally incapable of leaving Prussia)

Every time someone showers Mina sits like this and chases the water droplets.

I am in a hole in the wall Mexican restaurant and this food is amazing.

That feeling when you are in a room at the doctor’s office and really have to pee but suspect if you actually go that will be the exact time the doctor shows up to see you and you will lose your place in line and have to wait longer.

Best Valentine’s Day ever. Husband took me to the whitewater center off leash. They have cows.

So right before Thanksgiving I was freaking out because I couldn’t find all of my spoons. My family thought I was crazy but lo and behold my daughter cleaned out her car and guess what she found?

Mina isn’t spoiled at all.

Oh good, it’s 6 am and Pixel the cat has decided to play the piano.

No need to open the door Mom. Just ignore the meowing.

So it turns out if you mention at the grocery store that Mina the cat really likes paper bags they just give you a few for her.

I heard a loud thump and found this:

Imagine you are standing at the bottom of the stairs talking to your kids and a cat suddenly falls onto the stairs from the heavens and rolls down at least three stairs at the bottom. I screamed. Of course it was Mina. She seems fine but did NOT land on her feet by any means.

Pixel has wanted my seat all day.

It’s gone from “yay it’s snowing” to “has it stopped snowing yet?”

Get a German Shepard they said….

Current weather report: snow on dog.

It is probably going to snow again so I am prepping the most important part of winter weather preparedness. That’s right, I am washing the dog towels.

How stressful has work been this week? I’m off today and just opened the app to clock in when I got up to take my shower.

Practicing being cool and calm. Look how much I’m not screaming

Find someone who looks at you like Prussia looks at the Bojangles box.

Current update: soup in the pot, simmering on the stove. Dog in the yard refusing to come inside and snuffling around in the ice. Mina is angry at the cold and sulking.

“If you’re cold they’re cold, bring them inside” unless you have a GSD/Great Pyrenees combo, that you have to BEG to come back after she goes potty. She thinks we should all be out playing frisbee in this glorious cold.

How we tell the weather at our house: “Dog’s wet” “Dog’s icy” “Dog has snow in her fur”

Cats really pick some random thing to make the preferred place to sleep and then fight you when you try to throw it away.

Ultra Cat

Every morning when I enter my parking deck at work I am somehow behind someone who has never been in a parking deck in their life.

Some beavers built a dam behind our house and my son has now spotted this guy. Heron?

I call this “The standoff”

My son just asked me why I have a kitchen towel that says “Hell winter” because even though he agrees with the idea, he finds it a strange decision.

I am having an atrocious day and fighting with insurance companies over everything so here is a picture of Mina in my wrapping paper tote to make us all feel better.

I know I am running late, but I am currently going through the 5 stages of grief about having to get out of my warm bed and go to work. Please think of me in this trying time.

The whole rest of the couch is empty and this is where our whale of a cat with hygiene issues chooses to sit.

There may be a lot going on right now in the world,, but it’s 70 degrees out, the back yard birds are splashing in rain puddles, and these two are still just hanging out together.

If you wish to pass Human, you must answer three riddles. Or bring treats.

I WAS going to break that down for recycling, but I see someone has found their own use for it.

I just had a patient tell me her exchange insurance is no longer covering mammograms. I thought this remained covered with the ACA. I cannot fathom this.

Thank you Prussia the Dog for alerting us to the opossum family now residing in our shed.

No one ever says “goodbye” before hanging up the phone.

Me to my husband “I’m not saying a kitten would CURE my seasonal depression but it might help”
