Thursday 13: Scarves, Shots, and Snow

1.    I’m still kind of obsessed with making V stitch scarves.

2.    I finished this one for one of the neighbors.


3.    And this one for another neighbor.


4.    Both kids used their mom’s phone to text me to thank me for the scarves, and their texts were so sweet.

5.    We had our first snow for the season on Monday and Tuesday.  The higher elevations had a lot.  We were fortunate enough not to get very much.


6.    I know for most of you this is nothing, but it’s more than I like to see in November.  It’s still technically fall! 

7.    Nick and I were both off on Tuesday for Veterans’ Day, so that was the day we scheduled Charlie and Mortimer’s shots and checkups.   They weighed in at 24 pounds (Charlie) and 22.5 pounds (Mortimer). 

8.    Charlie and Mortimer are both very good at the vet and mostly just huddled together on the exam table.


9.    We’re both finally starting to feel better, but are still extremely tired, so after Charlie and Mortimer’s appointment, we had a nice, chill day at home. 

10.  Caroline had her shots and checkup yesterday afternoon.

11.  Caroline is normally NOT good at the vet.  Since it was a work-from-home day for me, I was able to give her Gabapentin a few hours before her appointment.  It definitely helped!

12.  This was Caroline’s first vet visit where no one bled.  They were able to do a full exam and even weigh her.  She weighs 12.5 pounds. 

13.  I've already started working on another scarf that I hope to be able to show you next week.  

How has your week been?

Thursday 13: Cats

I’m still dealing with a pretty bad cough from the cold/sinus thing, so I don’t have much to blog about this week.  But I realized I have a lot of cat pictures I haven’t shared, so this is basically a cat picture and cat video dump.  Enjoy!

1.  We'll start with a picture of Moritmer in the ice cream truck.


2.  Here's a video of Theodore watching a squirrel in the window feeder.


3.  Here's one of Caroline and Theodore playing.


4.  It is nearly impossible to get all of the cats to eat their own food from their own plate, so when they do, it's a photowrothy moment.


5.  Here's a video of Mortimer watching a squirrel in the window feeder.


6.  Here's where Theodore likes to hang out on my work-from-home days.


7.  Here's my sister's cat, Kreacher, on the couch I crocheted.  I think it's holding up well.  



8.  Here's a video of Charlie going "fishing."


9.  Here are the three kittens (Blanche, Sophia, and Fergus) that my sister and S-I-L rescued last year.



10.  Here's a picture of Tara, who is usually camera-shy.


11.  Here's one of Charlie in the ice cream truck.


12.  Here's one of Caroline enjoying her desk bed.  


13.  Lastly, enjoy this video of Theodore with one of the Halloween toys.
