Reader,
The Lady decided to use some of her birthday money on things to spruce up the house. One of those things was a new mat for in front of the sink. She wanted something to go with the green and was washable. She landed on this jungle theme (Lady and her animals, she may as well be a toddler).

Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,
I feel like my dreams have come true. Squirrel TV has really, really improved here.

Uncle Chris got Lady stick on bird feeders for her birthday. So far she has put one up and it has worked, it has brought us squirrels, squirrels, squirrel!

The mischief is the squirrels knocked the feeder and have at least once knocked on the window looking for more food.
I can't wait to see what is on the squirrel TV channel this week. It is the best, best, best channel!

I, the Lady am stealing the blog today, to share with you my birthday adventure. Every year, I take the day off and do something. This year, I decided I wanted to go to Parc Omega.
Parc Omega is a 2200 acre wildlife safari park. There is a 12 to 15 km/8-10 mi of driving trails through a protected forest, where in most of the animals wander freely. In many places of the park you can feed the animals carrots.
We started the day with a stop to buy about 18lbs of carrots. This was probably not fully enough for us, 20lbs would have been better, but Man had only wanted like 10, so it was a good compromise. Then we were off (making fun of the people who bought like 12 carrots).
Here are some of the highlights of our drive around.

| The ones closest to the gate are the most aggressive and they will come in and take the carrots |

| Fallow Deer |

 |
| Wild Boar |

| Elk from afar |

| Elk in the car |

| Up close with the Elk |
 |
| Piggy Pile! |
 |
| They roam free but no feeding of the buffalo |
 |
| Raccoon |
 |
| The bear are behind fences |
 |
| Artic Fox - also in an enclosure |
About half way through the drive, and before it poured rain for about an hour, we stopped to walk the Alpaca. This was on my fun list, so we made it happen.

It has been 247 days since my imprisonment. As I have mentioned, I haven't really been able to complain about things recently. I am adjusting to this house cat life better than anyone expected.
However, we hit a road block. As the special baby, I get away with all the things in this house. The Man Warden says I run the place (as I should). However the other day, I came up to Lady Warden, who I score a 5/10 as a human on her best day, to ask for food. She had the audacity to say no, I could not have chocolate cake.
She now has a 1/10. Would not recommend. I don't care if chocolate cake will make me sick, a Tortie wants what a Tortie wants. I will ignore her from over here.

Reader,
I was napping beside the Lady the other day while she was reading and I started to have dreams.
At first I was just running and twitching.
Then I started to growl.
I could have been growling at garbage cat, or maybe I was growling at the new monstrosity that Lady purchased for the bathroom that is now the litter room.

Hi friends, hi friends, hi friends,
Thank you from the bottom of my future too big heart for all the POTP and kind thoughts sent my way. I really am doing well and I love, love, love my pill. I jump up on the counter to get it. I think the girls are jealous that I get a special treat.

It has been a quiet week here, except we were alone way, way, way too long Saturday. Lady and Man went out for dinner and to a movie and then 10 minutes from home, they hit a road block. We had a bad, bad, bad thunderstorm while they were in the city and the low road (the highway) and the only other reasonable detour (the mountain road) had flooded. The firefighter said they had no idea when they may be able to open again, so a tired Lady and Man had to take a detour that took about 1.5 hours. 1.5 hours! They drove so, so, so long without a break, Lady's car gave Man a reminder that he should take a break (they were almost home then so he was not, not, not, going to stop).
