Travel Plans

The cat told me I'd love to visit Cedar Rapids at Christmas or maybe Ottowa.

Spinning The Dog

When my dad died in 1974, my mother was at loose ends. We cleared out a spare room so that she could stay with us. She came with Coco, my father's dog. Our cat Clancy (The Gray Menace) automatically disliked Coco.

How Things Work Around Here

OK, listen up! To be clear, it's not convoluted. It's been known to Carreras cats and dogs back to prehistoric times. Santa Clause delivers toys to humans. His cat Santa Claws distributes to cats, and Santa Paws ( the dog elf), provides for the dogs.

Saturday Morning

Saturday Morning, and here I am up at quarter of six.

Majesty

My little office also serves as a storage space, room for my small model railroad, and the Imperial Retreat.

A Trip to the Vets

Mother took father to the vet today. When he came home, we walked with a big thingee and limped.

Super Hero

My superhero costume just arrived. OK, it's a bit tight, but it displays all my muscles just fine. I asked for red, but mom got this color instead. So it will do for now. I want the red one with a blue cape by Halloween, though.

Creative Food

I am being careful and trying hard not to distract myself from the important stuff.

Max Makes His Moves

Well, this is just the start of the day. Father's garden needs weeding, and I've offered to help. What did they do before I came along?

Howl

There was nothing obsequious about the Gray Menace. Assume that he was some cuddly, cute kitten, and he'd attack.
