A boy and his platypus.

.

There is a platypus on our spare bed.

.

.

If you’re wondering why, I have one word. Hysterectomy.

And the two word reasons for these?

.

.

Renal arteriogram and uterine artery embolization.

Okay… that’s actually five, but you get the idea. Every time I go into the hospital my husband buys me a stuffed animal for company.

They’ve been on our beds for years but it’s only recently that Lord Dudley Mountcatten has decided the platypus makes a good snuggle buddy.

.

.

Most afternoons you’ll find him here, napping with his new friend.

At times it’s hard to tell where he ends and the platypus begins.

.

.

But whatever you do, don’t disturb his slumber.

.

.

There will be Hell to pay.

😉

.

A few chuckles and a tear.

.

Just a couple of things that made me smile.

Like this picture of a receipt from our local pub one of the bartenders posted .

.

.

I’m afraid to ask what she did to deserve that kind of tip….. but kudos to her all the same.

.

.

Cats.

Proof positive you can nap anywhere.

.

.

I know what to do.

Run!

😳

.

.

No doubt about what they sell here.

This photo popped up in my Facebook memories the other day and made me cry.

Our beautiful boy Huffington. A stray who wandered in, stole our hearts and was tragically run over by a car two years later. As a pet lover you always hate to say you have a favorite, but this guy was special.

And to be honest? He got more use out of that exercise bicycle than we did.

😉

Are you a weeper?

.

I’m a bit of a sap.

A poignant commercial, a sad movie, a song that reminds me of my father? All of them are apt to cause tears.

But when it comes to animals… and particularly the love for lost pets?

My eye faucet is wide open.

So it’s not surprising I completely choked up when I saw this sweet cartoon on Facebook the other day.

.

.

I hope so.

I really, really do.

❤️

.

Miscellaneous nonsense.

.

As always we begin with Lord Dudley Mountcatten… ever chill, always relaxed.

.

.

Up next… an abomination.

.

.

Not being a dirty martini fan, I can find no plausible reason for this horrible vodka to exist.

.

.

Woodchuck sightings are daily now.

.

.

And the chucker holes my husband filled in have been excavated once more.

.

.

Somehow I doubt that dog was cheering.

🤣

.

You’re doing it wrong.

.

Red squirrel annihilation training began the other day and I have to say…

It did not go well.

.

.

After a few half hearted swats,

.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten made friends.

.

.

And in true I’m not doing what you want because I’m a cat fashion…

.

.

The beast actually stared out the window at the real red squirrel …

.

.

With a stuffed red squirrel facsimile on his head.

Sigh.
