Snow no more...

Well, the snow disapeared pretty quick! But not before it left this huge branch in our front yard. Mom was pretty mad. Ben just likes to pee on it!


It's super muddy and we've been stuck inside playing lots of wrestle mania!



Mom has been spending lots of time sewing. And Molly has been supervising the thread winding process.



But Mom's hands get really cold and she has to keep stopping. Every time she turns around she sees this...



Ben got booted from the heater and had to suffer his frigidness in the cat bed. Turn up the heat, MOM!

Snowy Fun!

Hope you had a very merry Christmas! We have been busy playing in the snow!

Winter is boring...

Sorry I've been away for so long! Winter time is SO boring and the weather has been horrible.

It stopped raining long enough to spend some time outside last weekend. Of course, Ben wanted to play ball. He likes to stare at it VERY closely in case Mom can't find it.



Then he gets into the "ready to run" stance...



Then he RUNS!!



And RUNS....



I like to play for awhile...



But then I get tired! I'm getting old, ya know??



Ellie NEVER plays because chasing balls involves exercise. Ellie doesn't do exercise!



But look what Mom got us! I like to call it the "BLUE BALL OF MYSTERY!!". When she first brought it out we couldn't figure out what the heck it was! It was glowing from the inside.



Turns out, it's a ball! And now we can play all night! (it doesn't allow for good pics though!)



In other news, Sam got adopted.



Ben is heartbroken and can't believe Sam's gone. He's still on the lookout in case Sam magically appears.



Molly is ecstatic that she gets to be the Queen of Cats again. Can't you just feel the enthusiasm?



And what else have I been up to? I've been working really hard on destroying all my toys! It keeps me busy on the long, dark nights. Hopefully Santa will bring me lots of replacements!



And of course, Mom has been doing what she always does when she gets bored! Dress up!
Ellie before:



Ellie: after



Cutest little squirrel this side of the Mississippi!

Rain, rain go away...

"Mom, we're bored!"



"I'm bored..."



"Ben is bored..."



"And Ellie is bored... Or dead?"



"What's the you say? We could dress Ben up?"



"We had a talk....



"And Ben said "no"



"But I say yes, so he's overruled!!"



"Ben looks SO handsome with his bow tie! But I don't think he feels the same way!"



"Now what?!?!"



"Hey Ellie, want to play WrestleMania?!?!"



"Take that!"



"Looks like Molly is out of here..."



"Wonder what Ben is doing?? Oh, surprise! He's hunting kitties..."



"New foster kitty, Sam, is his target."



"This is how Sam feels about Ben..."

"Pretty much sums up how I feel about the rain! Hope it clears up soon and we can go outside!"

Scout has been adopted...

But never fear, Georgie (and his giant tongue) are here!

Ben's Big Adventure!

Ben wanted me to post his latest adveture on my website since he doesn't know how to type yet...


In an effort to get rid of some of Ben's energy, Mom came up with a great way to exercise him! Rollerblading! And he loves it!

Mom has been taking Ben to this trail through the woods. It is 3 miles each way.

There are lots of interesting things to see and smell! Even horses, which Ben is scared of! Mom let him sniff one through the fence and it didn't go well.

He'd rather just keep on running! Mom can hardly keep up!

At the end of the trail Mom lets him play in the river to cool down. It's kind of dark but here he is running like crazy in the water!

Of course, his favorite thing ever remains fetching. "Mom, there is a stick RIGHT next to you. Do you see it??"

"Please throw it for me!"

When Ben finally gets a LITTLE tired, Mom takes him back home. Here is a bad picture of the sunset they saw after swimming.

He has all kinds of interesting smells when he gets home and I get really jealous! Mom says I can't come along though because my fear of wheels will probably kill her!
