This cat is bigger than the baby it’s lying beside!
It always amazes me when I see a big fat cat like this! I guess it’s owners have been pampering it and giving it too many meals or snacks. Personally I think it probably needs to be put on Leptovox or a weight loss pill equivalent for cats! LOL
I sure hope that baby’s parents don’t over feed him or her like they did their cat!
So … How did the Holidays treat you? Did you have a nice time with friends and relatives? A big turkey dinner at Christmas? Get at least one present you really wanted? Party too much at New Years?
Chris and I had a nice Christmas and New Years. We went to his parents on Christmas day for a meal. No, it wasn’t a turkey dinner. Darn! My Mother in Law isn’t the best cook. She made mashed turnip, carrots, mashed potatoes, stuffing and uhm cooked up those pressed chicken breasts that you get from M & M’s.
The meal was OK, but for me it didn’t seem like a true Christmas dinner. So this weekend Chris and I are going to either get a small turkey or some turkey breasts and I’ll make us up a tasty New Years dinner either tomorrow or Sunday. Hey, it’s not the holidays to me if you don’t have some leftover turkey kicking around.
Chris’ older brother was visiting from Chicago and he brought his youngest son, 14 years old, with him. So on Christmas evening we drove from Chris’ parents home in Brantford back to our house in Toronto and all the guys ended up going to the park down the street from us to play hockey on the hockey rink. They actually did that twice a day for four days. So the guys got their exercise!
Unfortunately when they were in the house they watched hockey game after hockey game – old classics and the World Junior Hockey tournament pre-games so needless to say I’m hockeyed out. Chris’ cousin brought his two sons over for one of the days as well, so I think I’m “guyed” out as well. There was way too much testosterone around here last weekend!
Chris’ brother left on Monday and I’ve been recovering from the holidays and enjoying the peace and quite ever since.
Unfortunately for my nephew, I happened to go into the basement one day during the week and I discovered that he’d left a piece of his Samsonite luggage and a pair of jeans behind! I guess things like that happen to 14 year olds! Now I need to find out if we should ship the luggage and jeans to Chicago or just keep them until they come back for another visit.
It was really cold here at New Years so instead of going downtown to see the live show that they put on here in Toronto we stayed in and cuddled on the couch watching TV. We ended up watching the Niagara Falls New Years show and saw Roger Hodgson of Supertramp and Kim Mitchell perform. It was a great show!
Overall I’d say the holidays were great, but I’m tired out. I’ve been so sleepy this week. Maybe I’m fighting something or maybe it’s the Vitamin D supplements that I started taking (just found out I’m vitamin D deficient) that are making me tired. Either way I could sleep all day and night. Not good when you work from home!
I hope that the holidays were good to you and that you’re ready to get a good start in 2009! Happy New year and thank you for being loyal readers! I appreciate your visits and comments.
Don’t you just hate it when you’re trying to decorate your home for Christmas and your pet decides to help out?
Hopefully your cat or dog didn’t get into the decorations this year!
I just wanted to take a moment to wish all of my readers a Merry Christmas and a happy Holiday season.

“Darn! I thought this chunk of cheese was solid!”
It looks like this little mouse has found the ideal snack. I’ll bet he wishes it were even bigger though!
Mice are smart! I remember when I was a very young kid, we used to go up to our old family farm house in the country. The house had a lot of mice! My parents would set traps for the mice. They’d put a piece of cheese in the traps. Those darn mice were so smart they could get the cheese without setting off the traps.
I can remember sitting in the farm house living room with my family watching the mice literally dance on the traps and then run off with the chunk of cheese. It was quite entertaining, but I imagine my parents were frustrated that they still had a huge mouse problem in the house.

Aw … the little dog wants to take the bigger one for a walk! Cute!
Our dog Midnight tried to do just that to another dog last week. She grabbed the dogs leash handle and started pulling the other dog around. It was funny!
