Mischief Monday - The Rivers - by Phod

 Dear pals,

Lady and Man went out on Saturday and I had a very good nap. When they got home, they took me outside and introduced me to the Rivers. 

Are you my new siblings?

Lady says after a crazy day where everyone was out adopting animals, they found these two cats who are now called Tigris (female, formally Lilo, about 3) and Styx (male, formally Stitch and about 4).  They came from the local SPCA.

Tigris - her picture from the SPCA as she won't stay still enough for Lady to take a new one

Styx - who is feeling very overwhelmed with the change.

At the time of writing this, they hadn't been with us for a full day. Tigris has been out and about and exploring. She explored a lot in the night, knocking things over, turning on the TV. Styx has found a hiding place that the people can't get to without making it a construction project. (Lady and Man didn't know it was open at one end). At any rate, he did stick his head out at Lady so she knows he is all right.  She will give him a day or so before taking it apart, taking him out and then fixing it so he can't hide there. 

Can you see the little face peaking up?

I feel there is going to be a lot of mischief in our lives!

Tomorrow, I will do a snow check in.

your pal, who now has cats again after 10 years, Zaphod

Not Much Going On - By Phod

 Dear pals,

I have settled into the routine of being an only dog. I don't always love it, but I am doing my best. Lady and Man are happy that I have stopped needing to go out in the night to do my business. I often wake up, have a drink and go back to bed. Some days I am really lazy and don't even want to get up. 

Because there is not much going on right now, and because Lady has come out of hibernation and is super busy and hardly home (and when she was on the weekend, we didn't always have power), I will have a modified blog schedule this week. Know we are all doing ok.

your pal, enjoying the last moments of snow, Phod

Nature Friday - Spring is Slowly Springing

 Dear pals,

My front yard still looks like this:

However spring is starting to spring up. 

Lady needs to do some clean up, but do you see the lilies come up?

Our tulips are popping out too. 

Dirty to smell

The temperatures are looking ok with a little snow left. Lady just booked the tire change appointment (we have winter tires) for 2 weeks - will it be the right time? Will the snow all be gone before our first guess on April 14th?

Thanks to Rosy and Sunny for hosting this event. 

your pal, with spring fever, Zaphod

Throwback Thursday - The First Picture of Zaphod We Ever Shared

 This was the first picture of Phod we shared when we introduced him.

He spent much of his first few days curled up by the door.  It didn't take him long to have the run of the house.

This memory made me smile!

Happy 14th Birthday Zaphod!

 Today we wish our beautiful boy a very happy birthday!
