Helping

Maddie has always been a great help around the house.  This is the season of the year that she devotes her artistic gifts to helping us (or, rather, LadyRanger) wrap the Christmas presents.

Cats and paper.  Makes me happy.

Been a completely topsy-turvey holiday.  I've had head cold that turned into bronchitis and is only just clearing up.  That and dealing with the last two weeks of school before the holiday break have hammered me hard.  LadyRanger has been an absolute champ keeping the home fire burning.  Maddie has been just as wonderful at restoring our spirits and making all the gifts look sharp!  No wrapping is complete without a little cat hair!

Happy Christmas to all of you!

A Mockery.

A mockery, I say.  Some unhappy microorganism is once again making a mockery of my prime place in the food chain.

As always in such circumstances, I follow the example of the wisest resident of ChezRanger:  the Cat.

In just a few moments, I shall be joining Maddie on the bed, in the sunpuddle.  The antiviral properties of sunpuddles are well established.  Better than taking the waters at Bath.  Way better than being bled.

Yeah, well keep your nasal effluvia over there, pal.  Otherwise there'll be some bleeding.  Got it?

 Don't worry, she talks tough but she's really sympathetic and is an excellent nurse.  She'll deliver a little purr-therapy and I'll be right as rain.
