More Long Weekend Activities

Waiting for more BBQ! 
Dear Blogville. Our Lady can't figure out why the pictures she took are suddenly going on their sides on the Blog. She also can't figure out how to turn them. [She is helpless sometimes]. We would like to help her but we have outside things to be doing, and Hailey needs to be itching her black fly bites (she and the Lady are covered). So please forgive us. We hope everyone is having a great weekend!


Having a fire - pass the marshmellows please

Feline Friday - Long Weekend Activities

Hi all,

It is Victoria Day weekend in Canada. This is a celebration of Queen Victoria's birthday. So for the weekend we will share some of our long weekend activities!

Today is synchronized eating:



For those who don't have a long weekend:


PS: The cats use to sleep with us too but Cinder was too annoying so they got tossed out. Zaphod would be welcome on the bed, but he prefers the floor and since Lee takes up enough room we don't encourage him.

Where do you sleep?

Hailey sleeps on the bed, usually curled up against one of our legs.

It is too early in the morning for Lady to figure out how to turn this picture.

Zaphod sleeps on his bed at the end of the bed or on the floor.

Where do you sleep?

Hailey's Annual Checkup - by Lady and Lee


Waiting in the waiting room of OVH
Lee: Dear Blogville, if sending me away for 2 days was not enough torture, Lady thought first full day at home should have a trip to the vet in it.

Lady: I am sorry Hailey, but you were due for your checkup and we needed your heart worm and tick treatment.

Lee: I would rather get the bugs then go there. It was horrible.

Lady: I know you were a little nervous, but you did the best job ever at the vet, I am so proud of you.

Lee: I was afraid if I was bad you would leave me forever. Sunday night to make sure you didn't sneak out of bed and leave me I laid on your legs all night. Did you notice?

Lady: Yes I did. I know that going to camp was a little stressful, but I know that you had a good time. Now, let's get back to your checkup. You had lost a little weight but are "perfect" at 35 lbs. I am happy that I am feeding you the right amount and you are getting enough exercise.

Lee: I look great! People in the waiting room commented on how pretty I am . . . .

Lady:  You are very pretty and you were too busy eating cookies to even notice you were getting a shot.

Lee: I got a shot? Really? I think you are making that up. Let's not talk about what the vet did after he gave me all those treats. It was horrible.

Lady: I know your rectal exam was not pleasant, but you have been licking yourself a lot and I wanted Woody to check to make sure everything was ok. You don't have any physical problems, your glands are small, so while it could be some sort of food allergy, it is more likely obsessive licking.

Lee: If you humans could lick yourself you would understand.

Lady: O Hailey! Overall you got a clean bill of health and we got sent home with your and Phody's Revolution. Usually, Woody says to start it June 1, but because of where we live and the number of ticks he has seen already this year, we started it today. We will also be doing a daily tick inspection. Hopefully I can pair that with your teeth brushing and create a routine for you.

Lee: I am ok if you don't. I don't care if it is healthy.

Lady: Well, since my goal is to make sure you live until 10 Hailey, these are the things I am going to do.

Lee: I just want to know one thing, why didn't Phody have to be tortured too?

Lady: He will be, he is due for his check up in the summer. I don't think I can handle you both at the vet!

PS: The weather is silly here. Last week it was over 20C and yesterday we had some snow. This morning it is very frosty. We want nice weather!

Happy and Sad - We Remember - by the Lady

I have found in my life that there are many days that signify both good and bad things in my life. Today is one of these.

May 12, 2005: This signifies the day I defended my Master's thesis and escaped a toxic thesis adviser, and more importantly, Gemi's Adoption Day. She was a gift from the Man for finishing my Master's. 

May 12, 2010: This is the day Loki died. 

So today we remember the joy of bringing a new puppy home and the pain of saying goodbye.
