It's been cold and dreary for the past two days in Ranger-Town. We've been looking at mid-30 degrees and rainy since Friday, and we may get ice and snow today and tomorrow. Altogether, a great time to find a spot and snuggle into the nearest blankie:
Don't worry, she's still breathing. Don't know how she does it, though, facedown in the blanket like that. As long as she manages, I guess it's okay with me. Here's another view:
Out like a light bulb. If light bulbs were sort of black and white and furry, that is. Of course, having nasty weather like this has prompted us to start up the fire place again. You think Ivy likes the blankies? Well, she has equal love for her cat bed by the fire:
Of course, Maddie gets to enjoy the fire with us as well, although it looks like she has something on her mind:
Hmmmmm...if I could just sneak onto a plane headed for Singapore I could stay with Fiona...yeah...she has vacations in nice warm, sunny places....and no Ivy....hmmmmmm...
Sorry Fiona, we're not letting her out of our sight...
On a human note (and please feel free to skip this, all you cat fans) Lady-Ranger and I just celebrated out 4.25 year anniversary. That's 17 years for those of you who twigged onto the whole leap-day thing. Had a lovely dinner at a local Italian place. Lino, the gentleman in charge, stopped by the table and chatted with us. Once he found out it was our anniversary, he rushed off to the kitchen and made us a batch of zeppole, the delicious italian doughnut, himself, to go with our cappucino. And he was generous with the zeppole, I tell you now. We've a few left over for breakfast today. Anyway, we were charmed and quite grateful. If you ever have a chance to come to our town, go to Elizabeth's. Just drop me a line, I'll tell you all about it.
It's like Ivy fell asleep in mid-thought or something. That cold damp weather is the worst. Seems to seep into the bones making it impossible to get warm. The fire looks wonderful, for people & kitties alike.
Happy Anniversary, Rangers!

Nice face-plant, Ivy! :-) I don't even mind winter usually but I'm getting a little tired of this one. I think Madd has the right idea - a warm vacation.
Happy 4.25, Rangers! And many more.
