8 Years

Thursday was the 8th anniversary of Maddie coming to live at Chez-Ranger.  Pretty much non-stop pettin's and moochies since then, I must say.  I'd never had a mammal as a pet before Maddie showed up.  Never entertained the idea of having a cat 'cause I'm allergic to 'em and Maine Coons (markedly less allergic to them) cost $$$.  I'll *never* fathom what made Maddie's previous family give her up but it was a gift from <insert higher power of your choice here> to find this year old Maine Coon in our local shelter.  Sure, she hissed at me when I put my hand in the cage to pet her, but I'm used to that reaction when meeting females for the first time.  We've gotten along famously since.  I hope you enjoy this little Maddie-palooza.

<sigh>  I know.  I'm a sap.  I'm just glad there are other folks out there like me.  Thanks for dropping by.

Astute Commentary

I have no brain today.  Thus: a meagre post.  Enjoy the pic.

No brain today??  You say that like it's different from every other day.
Thank you dear.  I love you too.

Fleh.

Swine flu has been going around school.  While I have managed to avoid the major funk, a sinus infection seems to have set in.  Whee.  Doc-in-the-box here I come.  Meanwhile, Maddie gets to be Nurse Kitty.

Right!  I'm scrubbing!  Prep the O.R.!  Time for Surgery!! 

Surgery?  For a sinus infection?

Absolutely!  Time to start cuttin'!!  And don't worry...I have the sutures ready to go!!

Um.  Well.  I think I'm feeling better dear.  Thanks anyway. 

 

Taking it easy

A beastly-busy week here....blogging will be some older photos of Maddie.  I trust you won't mind the reruns....

Here's a pic of Maddie *not* taking it easy:

 She's having fun with some variation on string.  Always seems to light her up!

Now, here's a pic of her taking it easy:

I'm going to emulate the latter pic.  Have a good week, all.
