Our second stroll with Lord Dudley Mountcatten happened yesterday….
.
.
And while attaching the harness was still as enjoyable as wrestling a moray eel….
.
.
His Highness didn’t seem quite so angry this time around.
.
.
Of course that didn’t mean he cooperated. Walking a cat is more challenging than you might think.
.
.
To be honest, there’s not a whole lotta walking going on.
.
.
But at least his Lordship got some fresh air.
.
.
Sometimes you see things that are just…. wrong.
And that’s what I saw the other day. A product that’s beyond wrong and well on its way to horrifying.
.
.
For the love of all that’s holy, no.
.
.
Ack!
Who in their right mind would purchase this abomination?
.
.
I’m going to have nightmares about this, I just know it.
.
.
Can you see her?
.
.
I didn’t at first, but then she started chattering.
.
.
Even then she was hard to spot.
.
.
Who knew momma red was so good at blending in….
.
.
You know I’m never going to run out of these … right?
.
.
Let’s see what my phone thinks I am.
I’m a little bit disturbing.
Well, I can’t argue with that.
.
.
I’m a good bit too short.
At barely 5’4, I can’t argue with that either.
.
.
I’m a little guy in the backyard.
Now it’s confusing me with the woodchucks so I’ll quit while I’m ahead.
What does your phone think you are…?
.
.
And it’s clear from the hundreds of dollars I’ve spent on deterrents… I can’t.
.
.
Yeah, I gave you a chance…. and they ate right through you.
.
.
You might as well join them.
.
.
Or rather feed them your fruit and salad scraps in the hopes they’ll leave your flowers alone.
.
.
Watermelon was a huge hit. They positively inhaled that.
.
.
But honestly, would it kill them to wipe off the scowl off their faces and maybe shoot me a grin now and then? I think it’s the least they could do.
.
.
I don’t usually pay attention to the Facebook memories section, but this one from an old blog friend popped up the other day and I had to laugh.
.
.
It really does.
🤣
.
.
That sounds simple and delicious.
If you try it before me? Let me know.

And for Brian at http://brianlageose.blog
Because we were chatting a while back about the ridiculous old station wagons we had to drive as teenagers. Here’s my husband and I posing in front of my parent’s ‘62 Ford Falcon.
Complete with wood on the side… because we stylin’.
.
.
If you look closely you’ll see the entire passenger side is crumpled from me side swiping a telephone pole when I was 16.
Oops.
This baby had a top speed of 51mph by the time I got her…. complete with vacuum wipers, a manual choke, and AM radio. I was the envy of exactly (count ‘em) none of my friends.
Please don’t judge the head to toe stone washed denim… it was the late 80’s. We had to.
.
Finally, here’s Lord Dudley…
.
.
In typical goober mode.
.
.
He should, but thank God he can’t.
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten has discovered the back of the den couch.
.
.
And an event of this magnitude must be documented by taking numerous photographs.
.
.
From various angles and distance ranges.
.
.
Chill Dudley…. it’s the price you pay for living here.
But the real reason for this drivel filled post?
My succulent ….
.
.
Who is clearly trying to run away from home.
.
.
And after all I’ve done for him.
Very disappointing.
.
.
Do I need to research Lord Dudley Mountcatten’s family tree?
.
.
I do not. But kudos to the marketing genius who came up with this. I’m sure they’re making a fortune.
.
.
I do happen to be a Rolling Stones fan, RIP Charlie Watts, but that’s a big no on the lips and tongue bottle of whiskey.
And on further examination? It’s a good thing I don’t want to add one to the man cave bar.
.
.
65,000 euro? Holy guacamole Batman… that’s a seriously pricey sip!
.
.
Never let it be said I don’t have well fed woodchucks.
.
.
As you can see, the proof is in the pudding.
.
.
Or in momma chucker’s case, the apples and salad scraps.
.
.
Any way you look at it..
.
.
That’s one fat mother chucker.
.
.
After a very enjoyable respite from Ball Wash ads, I thought the end of ridiculous product advertisements on my Facebook feed was in sight.
.
.
But I was wrong.
.
.
So very wrong.
Big Bang Ball Hammocks.
What did I do to deserve these?
😬

River's world.....
