Isn’t Birdy a pretty cat? She’s sort of oddly put together (gangly legs, big, wobbly jungle belly, really long tail, lumpily shaped body), but she has such a lovely, round face. Actually, she can tuck into a very nice cat loaf and then sort of draws her head in, which is what I call the Buddha Birdy. She looks so happy and plump. I loves her.
I rewatched Fantastic Mr. Fox today, and the lone wolf at the end reminded me of Beany. All majestic and mysterious. (Except when she’s upside down.) (p.s. — My favorite part of the entire movie is when the wolf lifts its fist into the air.)
After lunch yesterday, I stopped at the Seward Co-op to grab some yogurt and peruse their bakery case. Yeah, I’m definitely going to de-sugar a bit when I get back to the Hinckley house on Monday. I chose a chocolate chip chai muffin — because how often do you run into one of those? This was a real muffin, like what you’d wind up with if you baked a batch at home with normal muffin ingredients. Not too sweet and with a denser, almost slightly-gluten-y crumb. I love me a Tobies muffin, but those guys are just unfrosted cupcakes with fruit inside.
Slightly grainy photo, because the light was getting low. The dogs and I were discussing the pros and cons of dog dinner, whether they should have dog food for dog dinner, and whether that dog food for dog dinner should be in their dog dishes. The general feeling towards the topic was positive, although both dogs thought there was too much discussion of the issues and not enough action being taken.
I agree, she has a pleasant face. Where I live, I look after 15 cats in exchange of flat and bills! One of the cats always looks grumpy and miserable, no matter what. Sometimes it really gets into me, especially in the morning. His miserable frowning face makes me twitchy, uneasy. I will put a photo on my blog soon, so you can see what I mean.
I was wondering, if a grumpy cat makes me feel like this, what about living with a grumpy human? I am sure it is going to be horrible.
You’ll excuse my ignorance I hope, but what kind of dogs are those? They are totally adorable!
They’re both chihuahuas! (Nova might be a little of something else, too.) Even though Henny is 100% chihuahua, they’re both too big (at 8 and 6lbs) according to breed standards, which also favor ‘apple heads’ — those chihuahuas with smooshed snouts. I’m biased, of course, but I think ‘deer heads’ like Nova and Henny are much cuter.
