Winter Hideaway

Since it was assembled a week ago, we have been ignoring this cute gingerbread house that Mom Paula from Sweet Purrfections brought for us when she saw the head peep in November. Over the weekend, it had to be moved out of the sunroom so we could take some photos without it in the middle of the floor. It ended up against the little wall behind the living room chair that no one ever pays attention to.

A perfect kitty hideaway! We obviously should have asked to move it here earlier. Thank you, Mom Paula, Truffle, and Brulee. We’re going have dreams of sugarplums (that’s a kind of chicken, right?) for the rest of the holiday season right here.

Turning on the Cute

Ashton: Is that a treat you have there? It sure looks like one. I can tell you want to let me have some, don’t you?

What do you mean, I need to wait for dinner? I’m practically wasting away here! I’m going to take the last of my strength and wave my paw at you to show you how much I want that treat. Humans always think the waving paw is super-cute.

Do you think it worked?

Ashton learned the paw wave last year and uses it every time she thinks it will help her get a treat.

Decorating for the Holidays

Pierre: I heard that the head peep was thinking about not decorating a tree for the holidays at all this year. You better believe I set her straight about that! I told her I would even help decorate so she didn’t have to do it alone.

Come on, let’s get these out of here and onto that tree so I can start knocking them back off!

This one looks really breakable. Can you put it down really low to make it easy to reach?

You didn’t listen. The entire bottom half of the tree has non-breakable ornaments.

Inspector N gave the finished product a final sign-off. Let’s get knocking those ornaments down!

Funny-Looking Visitors

Newton: You’ll never guess what I see outside the window!

What do you think these are?

The humans thought they were a pair of garbage bags discarded on the lawn, but if you look more closely….

Well, maybe it still looks like a pile of garbage. Maybe this photo, taken weeks ago, will help you identify the objects.

They are our neighborhood sandhill cranes. A lot of you have them who migrate in and out of your neighborhoods every year, but these are here year round.
