Bit of Update

While We have been posting (when we actually do post) mostly about The Fuzz and His Sweetie's travels this summer;

There have been other things going on out here in the woods.

This...

for one thing.

There had been a litter of kittens needing a home.

And Our place out here in the woods is kinda Kitty Friendly.

There's plenty of room for play...

and kitty-type adventure.

And so The Fuzz and His Sweetie now have these Twins joining the rest of the Feline Festivities.

And that is not all!

Since the demise of 2/3 of the Dog Pack;

(they suspect foul play)

The Fuzz-

and especially His Sweetie- have been looking for another pup.

Searching the papers seems to only turn up those $200-400 High-Dollar Doggies.

This was not what they had in mind.

And they are both of the opinion that a Mixed Mutt makes the best yard dog anyway.

So it was time to begin a more concentrated search.

And it turned out that right out here, in the woods, one of the neighbors had this guy!

He seems to be the grandson of our own, lamented Buddha, himself.

He's a bit older than one usually looks for in a puppy, but that should be okay.

He is actually a very timid fellow,

and is still a bit homesick.

It will take some time of course,

but he is beginning to come out a bit.

Here is Pocky hiding from the rain in his doghouse.

Next time we'll get back to a bit more of The Fuzz's Yankee Adventures.

Kitty Cats

The Kitty population out here had been getting a bit low. So we figured it was time to do something about that. But, we had to wait until The Fuzz and His Sweetie were home from their Big Adventure.
Here are the latest additions to our Exciting Feline Festival!GizmoKoaGarmisch

We'll Miss Ya, Puddin'

My loyal readers will of course remember Puddin', the Cat that thinks he's a People. This is a Dark day for us all, alas, Puddin' is no more.

His Foster Mommy found his furry little carcase in the yard this morning. He had been sick, but seemed to have pretty much recovered. We don't suspect Foul Play. But it is sad.

The Fuzz buried him this morning while the Young Daughter looked on and wept.

We take comfort in knowing that he had a good cat life (if short) and was loved and knew it.

You can follow his story by searching "Puddin'" on this blog.

Sour Puss

Remember when Something New turned up ? Well they have grown some, (although one is no more) and it seemed like time for a little something besides Mama.

We don't keep much dairy stuff around here these days, so The Fuzz's Sweetie mixed up a little concoction with some leftover sour cream. Here is one of the little fellers wearing some.

This was the other night, but they seem to be getting a bit more open to this novel way of doing things today.

There is one more Fat Kitty here, but we'll have to wait and see what comes next.

"What's New"

People used to tease The Fuzz, how he should be afraid to go home and ask "What's new". Well here's the latest thing. When he got home, Young Daughter insisted on showing him a "Surprise".

In truth it wasn't a complete surprise, since this sort of thing can't really go unnoticed.


So here they are. Six (6) brand new tiny little kitty cats. And of course their Mommy.

As for the Daddy, no one seems to be ready to take responsibility for this. We may have to resort to DNA testing to see who is in it for the kitten support.

And The Fuzz has insisted that I apologize to Woodie, whose Cat Poetry Contribution I somehow missed in the previous post.

black cat wanders by with muddy paws
leaving me to wonder the cause
'till on the ledge what do I find?
fresh corn sprouts met with furry jaws,
my summer garden undermined.

And it is a good one.
