Virginger and Glimmer

Hello! We are back and out in the garden.Gosh it feels so good to have sunshine and warmer temperatures.

For those of you who are newish to the blog. Glimmer is on the left and Squillion Virginger is on the right.  Virginger has seniority and has been here since February 2006!

Right now nothing much is happening in the garden, but we are still glad to be out. Mum won't try to do much on the lawn until later. Too wet yet, but maybe in a few weeks.

Most of the snow in the front of the house is gone. What is left is where it get piled up from the shoveling and the plow. Mum did look in the front and didn't see any daffs or two-lips starting to stick their leaves up.

Here is our temperature thingy from the other day, over 50! With warms like that and sunshine the snow is disappearing fast.

Hope to see you all soon. Love Virginger and Glimmer.

Tuesday This and That

Whoohooo, Snow Melt!

Just me, enjoying the sun coming in the big windows. Open windows when mum gets home the past three days.

ManCat Monday

If a cat had a halo, it would probably wear it around it's tail. It makes a statement. - Sergio Aragones

Happy Monday! We had a marrvy weekend. It was sunny and getting a bit warmer!

Mum brought something interesting home for lunch yesterday. She call it sue-she. Mum said it had bits of fish, ava-cado, cream cheese, rice and seaweed? Yeah, seaweed!

I sniffed a bit but mum wouldn't give me any, she ate them all herself! Said we went to a different store and liked what she saw, something a bit different that she thought she might like. She says she isn't much of a sue-she fan.

We had lots of sun, so I plunked myself in the front window for a while yesterday morning and just soaked up the solar rays.

Later I heard mum in the kitch-hen and was hearing sqeaking and it was mum opening the window for the first time this year!

I bopped right over to check it out. Lots of sun and yes.....

..... an open window. Yes we still have snow on the ground, but it has been warms enuf to start melting the snow. Slowly we are getting bare spots. Will have to get some pics for you.

So here's to a wonderful week and more melting!

Sunday Selfie

HiYa, finally getting to Sunday Selfie. Mum has been bizzy with chores and running to the store for foods.

Not the best, I shut my eyes at the last minute. But hey, it is still my sweet face. No time for another pic, gotta go chillax in the wonderful sun puddles.

Its the Sunday Blog Hop, go over to The Cat on My Head and see everyone who is posting seflies today.

Off to the sunpuddles!

Caturday

HiYa and Happy Caturday. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend so far. Ours will be nice, the warms are coming back and mum says she might even open a window for a bit.

 Mum went and got a fishy fry last night and brought it home to eat. So we both had fishy again last night. Plus there was stuff left, so we get another meal in a day or two.

Mum has been out bright and early today. Went shopping for socks and booby holders! Got there early and got out fast since not many people around. Soon she will be off to get her head fur trimmed.

Everyone have a good weekend. If it applies, don't forgets to hide the hour in the clock tonight. Spring forward!

Post Number 2000!

Holy Moly, 2000 posts as of this one. Goodness. I doubt that Derby when he started on this way back when figured it would still be going. Heck, the blog is still here, even if he isn't.

Post 1 - November 3, 2005  Derby introducing himself to the blogging world. 

 Post 1000 - March 19, 2010  I was here by that time, even if Derby wasn't happy about sharing the

blog with me. Mum did occasionally catch us in a snuggle mode.

 Post 2000 - This one!! Now just Ducky. Yeah, little ol' me. 

Post 3000 ? Sometime in the future. Looks like it takes us about 5 years to do posts, give or take a few months. Who knows what will be going on in five years time.

Tuesday This and That

Hiya, thanks for all the good words about the VET visit. I was a bit down on Sunday, but since I am right back at it. Playing, eating, snuggling and all.

Caturday mum and Miss Lynn went off to eat and they had fishy. So mum had some left and she shared!

 A few pieces on Caturday when she got home and more tonight as she ate the rest of it.

 Good stuff, Trout Towne you should be proud of mum for giving me fishies!

If you haven't been over to Miss Millie's blog lately, you need to go and join up with the When-When Contest. We all try to guess when the snow will disappear for good for the year and boy does she have lots of snow to get rid of. We have pawticipate every year and never guess the correct day. But so what, its fun! So go and guess!

ManCat Monday

A cats idea of heaven would be mice from wall to wall. A mouse's view of heaven would be no cats there at all. - Andrea Stempel

Mum's idea of heaven is no mousies at all!  None to sneak in the house and become a plaything for us cats!

It is Dr. Seuss day, he wrote some fun books. Mum says like Green Eggs and Ham. I like ham, but not green ham.

Speaking of doctors, I got hauled off to the VET doc for my annual checkup. I am all good to go as I got a very good once over by Dr M. He looked with special things in my eyes and ears. Checked my teeths and even stuck his nose in my mouth to check my breath! Thank goodness I didn't smell bad! So my Caturday in pictures. 

 In the box at home waiting for mum to get the car a bit warm. She did put the one bed inside for extra warmth.

 Waiting again in the waiting area at the office. This is a bunch of hurry and wait.

 Good fighting weight for me. Mum checked back to last year's picture, I was 9.22. Mum says when I sit on her I weight a ton!

 OK, more waiting, up on the table, guess I will check out what is here.

 Nope, just floor and mum standing there.

 This side? Well, cupboards and all of the doc's stuff.

 Let's go and check it out closer, maybe I can find a hidey hole to get into.

 No such luck, then Dr M came in the room and picked me up to admire me and check me out.

 Yeah, the shot pic, good for another year, mum even has a certificate that I am all good on my shots.

 I willingly went back into the PTU, yeah, take me home please mum. She did as soon as they checked my poop and she paid the bill.

 Back in the metal monster, giving mum the evil eye. I know she means well, but I would really not want to go to the stabby place.

 Back home and mum sat me down as she unlocked the house door. It was cold out, but the sun was nice.

 Inside and out of the PTU. I went and chilled for a while, but I didn't ignore mum. I went and sat on her while she tried to nap in the afternoon.

We are in a new month, maybe by the end we can see green grass, flowers and such.

Happy week.

Sunday Selfie

Not such a good one today. I am still out of sorts from yesterday since I got hauled off to the VET for a checkup. I am fine. Just not happy, so looking a bit grumpified here and out of focus!

Blog hop with The Cat on my Head gang as usual.

Caturday - Squillion Day

HiYa, Ducky here. Happy Caturday and it is a special day. Squillion Day. So Virginger and all of her gang get to celllybrate.

So I am going to turn this over to Virginger to let her tell her story!

Thanks Ducky, you are a good mancat. Yep, Mum found me and I moved in with her and Derby. Plus we spread the word and lots and lots of my litter mates found homes with others out in the blogoshere. Mum fostered lots of the gang and I know they went to good places. 

 I can sit on the top part of the tower too, see I am higher than Ducky here.

 Getting checked out by Ducky, he is such a sweet little mancat, more my size.

So Happy Squillion Day to myself and all the rest of my litter mates. We rock!

Two months gone, but yeah, Derby was the first and founder. We miss the big guy!
