While most of Canada takes the day off tomorrow for an extra long weekend, I’ll be waking up at 6am to dash to a 6:30am Ashtanga Yoga class, and then off to work for 8:30am….
I really have to get to bed. But, before I go to bed, I want to wish my fellow Canadians a HAPPY CANADA DAY. We walked and walked and walked today, basically (what did you do?)….
Even Betty White enjoyed herself. Right now, I’m trying to calm her down (between sentences) because it’s like a war zone in my neighbourhood with the fireworks! Boom! Pow! Luckily my kids are like me, and they’ll sleep through anything. Even through Betty’s squealy barks.
Also, before I go to bed, I want to remind all my fellow cat-lovers that, even though I’m constantly writing about Miss Betty White these days — who, I just noticed, has conveniently placed the Monkey’s shoe in her dog bed, hmmm — Minden’s still getting plenty of attention. Indeed, it is still HE who completes me….
And don’t worry about MAARGE, either. She’s your stereotypical “elusive cat.” I’m pretty-much the only human who ever sees her. But, here, I give you this rare privilege – checkit:
I’m also reminded, before I collapse on my bed and slip into much-needed sleep, that ever since we saw Toy Story 3 in 3D the other day (the Monkey, shaking, had to leave the theatre halfway through with her dad, but Rascal, who covered his eyes throughout the previews, loved it even if it was a little “gehwy” [scary]), I’ve become very suspicious of, if not freaked out by, the Monkey’s favourite baby dolls….
Gahh! But she really is the MASTER of “found art,” or “assemblage,” don’t you think!? The MASTER! Still, that baby doll, whom she’s named “Rose-Marshmallow”? Creepers!
Speaking of creepers, Betty White has to go outside. Cross-your-fingers, she’s almost fully house trained, no crate required. (After one episode of returning home from work to find her covered in poop and vomit in the crate? That crate was gonzo.)
Goodnight, Gorgeouses!
Love!

I’m sorry that the crate didn’t work out for you, because I was going to suggest it for the fireworks. LOL! My old dog used to freak out big time from fireworks and thunderstorms (not so good when we lived in TX…tornado alley) but if I could get her crazy butt into the crate she would calm right down and take a nap. (my current dog is either deaf or just doesn’t care.)
check online for other tips for helping dogs with loud noises…most will tell you to use the crate, but if your dog is terrified of the crate then that’s no good.

We went to see Toy Story 3 yesterday and both Lucas and Julia LOVED it. That scary scene was VERY scary! Great movie! Have a great weekend.

Your daughters “assemblage” is creeping me out. I have to admit I have always found those plastic dolls freaky.

My last dog freaked when there were fireworks … shaking like crazy. KC doesn’t notice ‘em. We are just north of the Ex so you can really really hear ‘em.
Thanks for the pix of the kitties.
Those dolls are FREAKY!

OH MY GOSH! We have the exact same cats, only backwards!!!!! My black & white cat, Nimue, hides all the time and my gray cat Sugar either completes me or drives me stark, raving, mad. One or the other. Wait, I think it’s drives me stark, raving mad.
Look, I found a post where I have (silly) pictures of both of them – Adventures in skyping with the good for nothing cat
