Monday 2/1/16

Weasel inspecting a dead snowman

we had some Cardinals in our yard today.
How Cool!!

Food Rule

FOOD RULE #21 concludes PART ONE.

What should I eat? (EAT FOOD!)

the Hawaiian Orchid is still thriving.

Chester has a lump on his leg from licking it

Waiting for the Doctor

He’ll be ok.
He has to increase his benadryl dosage.He’s still a little creaky with the arthritis, but
all the drugs we give him for that adversely
affect his organs.

these kittens are up for adoption.
Anyone need an Orange Kitty??
They are very friendly & super cute 🙂
