Donner

He’s the king of the castle…

November 13, 2010

This is Oscar in his kitty carrier (both kitties love it, so we just leave it out for them to hang out in) with all the toys in the house surrounding him – including a chicken toy with real feathers still on it. Why this chicken has not been ripped from limb to limb yet [...]

Well, it’s a start.

October 17, 2010

In a surprise move by Oscar, he not only let me put his costume on (it’s a pumpkin bib from the Dollar Store. Hey big spender!) but he’s still got it on as I type this. He’s also been dragging the orange feather boa around the house. Hey! Maybe he is like Bucky (Cynthia’s kitty) [...]

Peach portrait and Donner portrait

August 22, 2010

I spent the afternoon blanching the skin off nearly 2 bags of peaches, only to get 6 jars. I lost one can in a strange boiling incident – the lid somehow slid off the jar. While it looked like a wide mouth mason jar, I think it was about 2 mm smaller than standard and [...]

Loafing

July 17, 2010

I ran out of stuff to do with Mom & C@thy yesterday, so we ended up in Stanley Park and walked about 5 kilometers along the beach. The temperature was perfect with a nice breeze. I’ll have to remember that the next time it feels too hot at home – the seawall is where it’s [...]

Red-handed

June 26, 2010

Here’s Donner in front of the kitty robot. As you can see there’s not food in the dish part, just in the plastic bubble. The robot makes the next scheduled delivery tomorrow morning at 5:30. But in the meantime, no food? No problem. Donner’s on the case. This is how you get kibbles from the [...]

Getting ready

May 9, 2010

I am getting ready for house guests next weekend! Next Friday, my sister and cousin are coming to town for a visit. We have no official plans yet, but I can assure you there will be 4 days of good times. For the most part of the day, I worked out in the yard. I [...]

He loves his mices

May 4, 2010

Donner and Oscar both love those grocery store rabbit fur mice – but when Donner plays with them, you can see his serious predatory side. He pounces on it, grabs it by the tail and then will carry it around the house for awhile. Eventually he’ll rip it to shreds. I can only imagine what [...]

The Smashy Brothers

April 28, 2010

*I have no idea why Oscar’s eyes are looking gigantic like that* Now that Donner is all settled in, it is not unusual to hear things going smash in the night. Donner and Oscar are good buddies. Other than Oscar trying eat Donner’s food at dinner time – but Donner has been getting better and [...]

I love it when I’m wrong.

April 22, 2010

When I heard on the news last night that General Motors paid back their $8.1 million loan to the US and Canadian governments, I was glad that I was wrong in assuming that all the companies had spent their bailout money on big stripper parties and then would just default on their loans. After I [...]

Gratuitous kitty photo

April 12, 2010

I think this is what kitties are for. They just make you feel good – with their headrubs and their little me-yews when they see you opening up the can of cat food. And the way they rub around your legs whenever you walk into the kitchen. And also Oscar waiting for me at the [...]
