Wordless Wednesday

Back to Work!!!

Mum says her face looked kind of similar at 6.30 am as the alarm went off. At least it is a short week this week.

Autumn

Mum and I are having trouble giving up the nice weather. We know soooo many of our northern hemisphere friends had a rough cold winter, and are looking forward to their spring and summer.

How about we take our turn at being cold and even rainy, but could we keep a couple of blue skies? Mum says it is the blue skies she misses most over the winter. Yesterday she ventured out, and it was time for the merino top and scarf, but today we woke up and it was sunnier. So she is going to get out in the blue skies while they last.

Enjoy your spring and summer and look after it for us.

Happy Easter

Me and Mum wanted to wish you all a happy Easter, and hope you get to share some time with your friends and family.

The bunny bought us some chocolate marshmallow eggs for mum, and some chicken temptations for me. So we will be buzzing out all day on our treats.

Easter egg smooches to you all.

Flowers

It was a big sleep in day here today, and then mum went and did some more jobs and left me to sniff the flowers outside.

Today, feels like the last day of summer, as daylight savings changes tomorrow morning and it will get much darker in the evenings. Last year, the weather changed at the same time too, heralding in winter. So, after mum got some groceries, she went for an evening walk and enjoyed the breezy evening and watched the clouds blow across the sky.

It is a Good Friday

Today has been a good day, and as it is only 5.30pm for us, it is far from over. Mum had a busy night at work last night so was relieved to get home and know that her holiday was about to begin.

We had a bit of a sleep in, and then mum decided she would tackle some of the many many chores that have been building up. So, we have washing on the line, the beds are ready to be made, some gardening done, the floors are swept ready for mopping and the tea is on the stove. Don't worry, she found time to play with me, read her book and watch a bit of a dvd while eating her brunch.

We hope all of our friends have some time for fun, friends and family this Easter weekend, and that you all get some sunbeams wherever you are.

Mouse House

Yes, in yesterdays post that was another mousie I caught. When I caught it, it wasn't deaded for a while. So while it was still wriggly jiggly, I tried to carry it into my mums room and plonk it on the bed for a present. But she said no - No - NO!!!! And I had to carry it back outside til it was deaded.

We live in an old wood house, and with the changing of the season approaching the mousie families are moving about and stocking up for winter.

Mum is off to do some chores and stock up for Easter too, some nice buns for breakfast, some dvds and some new music to dance to.

Queen of the Bed

As you can see, I am back to being the Queen of the bed. It is mine!! All mine!!!

Well - I guess you can share it a little bit, as long as you put the electric blanket on and my fleece blankies on top.

Just make sure you vacate the bed by eight, and no sneaking back in for a sleep in.

Popiliscious

Hanging Out For the Weekend

Mum says she sure is glad that this week is a short week. She is hanging out for the weekend, and it is only Monday.

Have a lovely week everybuddy.

Washing

I think it is time to bring the washing in mum. We are still enjoying being able to put washing out on the line, but we can feel the autumn evenings closing in, and hate the thought of drying all the clothes inside.

Distraction

Mum got distracted tonight eating toast in front of the tv and forgot to post before midnight. She had a busy day. I helped her with chores like washing and moving stuff around. Then she went to the hairdresser, met her friends, had dinner and went to the movies, got some groceries and then finally came home to feed me.

Today was unusually warm for autumn, and mum thought you might like these shots of me sitting out in the small back garden at our place. She thought you might also like to know that all the beautiful green stuff is weeds, and not real plants.

Eye

I hope you and your family all have a lovely weekend. Do something fun. Get out in the sun, meet some friends, watch a movie, eat some great food, sing some songs, walk in the wind, or lie in bed and take it easy.

We will try and do all those things - or at least my mum will. Me - I'll be keeping an eye on the house, and on the bedroom.

Smooches

Bed Hogger

What do you mean - I'm a bed hogger.

You are the one who wanted me back inside.

I'm just keeping your spot warm - on top of your magazine!!

Wordless Wednesday - Look whos back on the bed!!

Toesie Tuesday

Yup, thems my toes. I'm a good girl too, I never scratch my mum, well maybe just the once.

Fleas

Mum wanted to talk to you all about the dreaded fleas. For about the past 5 months mum had been using Frontline plus to try and get rid of any fleas. But, they still kept coming and coming and even with attacks with the flea comb, they were still there. The vet, although very nice said just to continue with the frontline. Now mum did all the right things, dosed me at the right times, bought it from the vet, checked the expiry date and kept washing and vacuming.

Well two weeks ago, mum got bitten and she could tell I was still miserable. So she went out and bought revolution flea treatment. Although I don't like it being put on, and sulked for a day, mum thinks it less toxic than Frontline. When I had frontline I was miserable for a few days, and mum thinks my furs were dull and flaky (which may have been more due to the fleas).

So around about the time, I got the revolution, I moved back inside. I lost all of my fleas, my furs are more soft and shiny, and mum says I am much much happier and back to being my old self. I want more cuddles and smooches and am much more talkative. I am seeking mum company more, and am happy that I am indoor Poppy and not camping cat.

So if you are looking for flea treatments, mum is very very happy to recommed Revolution and she will never use Frontline Plus ever again. We have looked online too, and at a few forums have found similar concerns from other customers. As frontline, has no email contact details we are unable to contact them with our concerns, but we will be sure to let our vet know.

Love Smoochy Poppy

We love you Miss Belle, NZ champ!!

Over

When I want the photo shoot to be over I usually do this. Either go to sleep with my face facing the wall or fence, or I go and sit under the chair where she can't find me.

I tell you, it is hard work being a beauty model.

New Camera - Saturday shoot session

Mum took these pictures this afternoon in the backyard using the zoom. She is pretty impressed as it shows my amber eyes. I don't like looking at the camera though, so mum has to take lots and lots of shots, most of them with me looking away.

She thinks they look pretty snazzy though. What do you think?
