Tummy and Toes Thursday

 I have discovered the joy of small pillows.  Comfy!  I am showing off my pure white toes.

Spyro:  I have discovered the joy of big pillows.  Really comfy!  I am showing off my pure white tummy.  In case you are wondering, it is very touchable.  I love tummy rubs.

I think Spyro is a little nuts.  He keeps closing the litter box room door from the inside.

Spyro:  I do it so I can play peek-a-boo and pawsie with you.  It's fun.

But you can't get out again.

Spyro:  Mom will let me out.  If I really try, I can drag the door open with my toes.

Karen Jo:  It's true. This is Spyro's new game.  I was taking my bath when he did it the first time.  He stood up on his back feet and leaned his front feet against the door to close it.  Then he used his paw and claws to open it back up enough to peek out the door at Herman.  They played until I opened the door to leave.  In the next half-hour, Spyro closed the door twice more.

The new food is pretty tasty.  Spyro and I take turns eating the Stinky Goodness and the new stuff.  We both eat both kinds of dry food.

Karen Jo:  I don't think I will try to keep Herman from eating the dry food I got for Spyro.  It's high-quality and good for him, though it is a little higher in calories.

Spyro:  Another one of my favorite games is knocking stuff over.  I knocked a whole bunch of pens and a funny blue ball off the kitchen table today.

Karen Jo:  That was my rubber band ball.  I get a rubber band around my newspaper almost every day and I ran out of places to put them, so I started making a ball out of them. It's about the size of a cat toy now and Spyro enjoyed playing with it for a little while.  I picked it up again when he was finished because I am a little bit afraid that he would bite the rubber bands off the ball.

Spyro:  I love finding stacks of book or papers and knocking them over.

Karen Jo:  Are you sure you do it on purpose, or are you just a klutz?

Spyro:  I don't think that question even deserves and answer.

Bad Mommy

Mom took this picture of me while I was playing with the paper she left on the floor.  It's not too great, but you can see my ear tuft.  My Mom must be the laziest, clumsiest Mom in the whole world.  She didn't even take any pictures today.  All she did was run noisy machines all day and lie around doing nothing.  She even kicked me three times today.  Three times!  Sheesh!  You would think that she would know that I'm here by now.

Karen Jo:  I'm so very sorry, Herman.  I didn't mean to hit you with my legs or feet at all.  I just haven't mastered the "check where the kitty is before moving your feet" way of walking yet.  I did the laundry and cooked and fed the birds and brought in the trash bins from the curb and that's all I did, beside playing with you and giving you lots and lots of scritches.  I'm still feeling just a little tired from getting over my cold.  I meant to take some pictures, but the light never seemed right with the snow coming down.

At least I got lots of play time and scritches.  I didn't eat nearly as much today as I did yesterday and I slept a lot, too.  Mom thought I should be interested in the snow, but I wasn't. Why should I care about snow?  I'm not going out there.  Mom seemed to be awfully interested in a certain place under my chin while she was giving me scritches.  I let her scritch it and feel it, but I wouldn't let her look at it.

Karen Jo:  I felt a little bump and what feels like a scab, Herman.  I was just trying to figure out what it is.  I am going to keep feeling it and if it gets bigger, you might have to go to the v-e-t.

Nooo!
