Caturday Art

For today's Caturday Art blog hop hosted by Athena and Marie, I decided to share the first piece of artwork in a fun little series I've decided to create for the furbabies in my life. I'm creating, for lack of a better word, goofy little drawings to illustrate just some of the traits that I love about the furry ones in my life. I've taken some of their physical and/or personality traits and decided to just run with them.

The first piece I created is, of course, for my sweet angel girl Rosie. As a brief explanation, Rosie was captain over all in our home, reigning supreme from her beloved living room couch. And, for her last few months with us, Rosie was one-eyed (following a necessary eye removal surgery). She was, as I called her, my cute little pirate. I hope that helps this little piece make at least a little sense for you.

Happy Caturday, everybuddy! I hope you're all getting ready for Santa Paws to come to town!

Festive Friday

I don't often dress up my furbabies. Cute thought it may be, none of them particularly enjoy it, and I certainly don't want to torture them just for my personal enjoyment or entertainment.

But, there is one way in which I can make one of my furbabies look festive, and without that furbaby's knowledge. That furbaby is Astrid, and her collar is the perfect place for adornments.

Do you like Astrid's cute little snowmen friends?

My sister and I have been accumulating a large number of ribbons for Astrid's collar since soon after we rescued her. The festive one you see her wearing above is actually far larger than the ones we usually put on her collar, but she doesn't even seem to notice it. It's also extra special because it was handmade by Astrid's gammy (my mom), and Astrid models it perfectly.

We have ribbons of all sorts of colors for Astrid, and for pretty much all seasons and major holidays. The idea actually started early on with Astrid's gammy, who first bought some dog hair ribbons with elastic bands for us to put on Astrid's collar. This was actually a bit of a joke at the beginning, because ever since we rescued her, people always (and I really do mean pretty much always) guess that Astrid is a boy. So, Astrid's gammy got some ribbons to put on her collar in a joking attempt to assist people in their decision. To be honest, people still almost always start off by calling Astrid a boy, even with the ribbons. Regardless, we loved the ribbon idea, so we have continued with it.

We hope everybuddy has as festive of a Friday as Astrid!

Spy Games

Hmmm. Do you ever get that feeling like you're being watched?

Could there be something spying on me from behind that cat tree? Surely not.

Happy Thursday, furiends!

Wordless Wednesday

Toesies Tuesday

My boy Evan wanted to show off his special little toesies on this Tuesday.

This is a close up of the toesies on one of Evan's paralyzed hind legs. More often than not, when he moves around or sits or lies down (so, pretty much all the time), his back toesies are turned upwards as seen above. That means I get to see those cute pink paw pads all the time!

We're wishing everybuddy a happy Tuesday!

Awww Interlude

I haven't done one of my Awww Interlude posts in quite some time. So, here's one to hopefully help you smile on a busy Monday morning. I apologize that the pictures are blurry, but I wanted to show off the heart-melting expressions of my girl Thimble during one of our many belly rub sessions, and there's no keeping her still during that.

I hope everybuddy has a great Monday!

Serious Sunday Selfies

My whole gang decided to star in this week's Sunday Selfie blog hop hosted by The Cat on My Head. What's more, they all seemed to have come to a consensus to go for selfies on the more serious side.

Astrid and Thimble's seflies involved some serious squirrel-watching:

Evan went for some sort of serious smolder:

And, even my usually active, flamboyant Eddy can look serious:

Happy Sunday, everybuddy!
