Wild and windy in Washington


With the weather being pretty cold outside seems like we are a bit trapped in this house. That would be the 6 humans and the assorted creatures that live here too. (That doesn't include the stupid little fruit flies everywhere!).

It starts with Kitka who is really the neighbors cat but lives here 24-7 because of an incident with a pesky magpie a few years back. Occasionally the neighbors call out her name and I just grin to myself cause she's upstairs on my bed having a little nap.


Then there is the "Golden Retriever" Belle who is a teenager in dog years but has the body of moose when we are all together in the kitchen. She follows me everywhere and I mean everywhere, and sticks her nose along side the cuboard in case some morsel might drop her way.



She mostly chews everything and loves to go through the trash many times daily. It is her lifes work. Belle would also like to be pals with Kitka but the old lady cat has very little tolerance for the pushy blonde and waits until she has had enough and lands her one on the kisser.

Then our lastest arrival was at Christmas. I had Stacey's name and decided it was time she had her own kitty. Rachel and I went on the hunt and found this little calico 2 days before Christmas. Rachel kept her in her room and we succeeded in telling enough fibs to Stacey to keep it secret. It was a great surprise for her.
She got "fixed" last week and now is back to her bouncy, playful self. Better watch out...she is wild kitty- launching out when you aren't aware.
It's going to be a long winter.
