“Hi My Name is McKennas Gold

 

And I need a home.   I am 2 years old and get along well with others.”

Isn’t he just cute?? That fat face and nice chin.  He is very laid back and loves to be loved. 

Awesome Thunderstorm Cloud

 

This storm cloud was spectacular on the way home from the cattery Thursday.  And yes, it did rain and thunder and lightning.

Sold another 3 or 4 cats Friday and they will be going to Arizona and Texas. 

The cats in Iowa and California are happy and living the good life. 

I wish I had a picture of this story, but those with good imaginations can picture it!  :

Manley brings in these little thin, thin branches that have fallen off of a tree.  This one happened to be about 15 inches long and in the shape of a Y.  Well, Kisa thought it was her toy too so she was playing with the end Manley wasn’t chewing on.  (If you know Manley at all, when we use to be outside in the fenced-in yard in Madison, he would protect his stick from all of the other dogs and usually growl, snap or bare his big teeth.)  So, I thought he might at least growl at Kisa, but he just watched her and quickly chewed up as much as he could!  I was just waiting for something to happen, wishing that I hadn’t left my camera across the room, and then the stick was gone and Kisa went bounding off with “that was fun, now what?” look.

I’m glad they get along so well.  She sure knows Manley and how far she can push him!!!  It’s hilarious to watch them interact sometimes! 

Well, down to Farmington with Catherine today, try to watch the Nascar race (depending on when it’s on) and then feed cats and not much else.  Tomorrow we are moving cats around and taking out some of the enclosures in order to get ready for the equipment auction in a couple of weeks. 

I may have to make a trip to Albuquerque so the cats can fly to Texas, in the San Antonio area.  Any one want to come with??  It’s a 3 hour drive one way. 

It’s going to get hot down here again this week. I hear it’s hot in Wisconsin. Keep those fans and air conditioners running!!

All of y’all have a good day. 

Missing Dusty Dawg

 

Saturday Dusty Dawg and 2 youngsters started their journey to Iowa.  They arrived there late yesterday and are in the good hands of Angie and Sheri.  Dusty was always my favorite girl, from the day she was born.  Angie will make sure she keeps me posted on how she is doing and when she has kittens…….

Crossfire also traveled this weekend.  He was 1/2 brother to my Kisa and a favorite for most everyone that met him.  He is now in California with a lovely lady named Shirley who wants a cat to sit on her lap all day long.  That’d be Crossfire!

Kris Kruse-Elliot also received her cat Cheyenne aka Mink Coat.  Kris use to be at the vet school in Madison, so I know that Cheyenne will have a good home and play with Mas, their other cat. 

12 cats left.  We hope to find all of them homes within the next 3 weeks.  Then I will be out of that job and back to pinching pennies again!! 

Having a 3-day weekend and keeping out of trouble.  Watched the Nascar race and cleaned the cattery, went to Farmer’s Market, library, grocery store, and gas station.  I have a check up this a.m. and then can enjoy the rest of the day reading.

Hope your weekend was good!!  Enjoy!! 

New Glasses

 

Here are my new glasses.  Ya know, it is hard to take pictures of yourself. 

I love them. 

So, have only sold 5 cats total.  The girls in Iowa decided to only get 3 and then I had sold one to a couple in Denver and then sold one to Kris from the vet school, who is now out in California.  This next week I will be making a few phone calls and trying to sell the rest of the cats. 

Just been busy with work, driving back and forth to the cattery, keeping cool and doing my daily chores.  It has finally rained the last 2 days and cooled down 20 degrees. 

I have this weekend off so I will be at the Farmer’s Market, library, grocery store and then home.  Then I venture back out at 2:00 to get my hair done.  Then I go out to the cattery. 

Sunday I will get my apartment ready for Jody and Reuben to visit!  We are going out to lunch.  Not sure where, but it’ll be fun. 

Diet:  I have lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks and love that my clothes fit better.  I am very determined to get some weight off. 

Y’all take care!!  

UPDATE

 

Here is a really pretty copper/red colored hummingbird.  There are 2 or 3 of them that visit my feeder.  They are hard to take pictures of because they are so fast and always on the move.

Well, I have been busy selling cats, taking care of them, working and taking care of my place. Not too much excitement.

Yesterday Manley got groomed and Kisa got combed.  Amongst me cleaning, doing laundry, running to the library, (well, driving actually!) and making phone calls about cats. 

I started a diet last week Thursday and have lost 5 pounds already.   I lowered my caloric intake and upped my water intake.  I will do that for a month, then gradually increase calories and see if I can maintain. 

Walter and Jim from Seattle are arriving Sunday to pick out a cat.  Then the next week, 5 cats are going to Iowa.  Then the week after that I hope to get Cheyenne to Kris in San Fran!!  I am hoping Jim and Joann will take her back to Las Vegas and fly her out of there.  And they will also be taking Leigh back to Mary.  So, then there will be half as many cats! 

I get to see my niece Jody and her boyfriend Reuben July 25th!!  I am very excited to see the both of them. 

Who has time for a job???? 

Well, have to finish getting ready for that job.

Hope you all enjoyed the update!! 

Fun Sunday

 

Here’s my little hummingbird at the feeder.  It is on the left side and blends into the background, so click on the picture to enlarge it. 

Had a wonderful day with Catherine.  We went to Farmington (an hour south in NM) and had lunch at the newly opened Olive Garden.  OM!!!  I had the pork mon……… with stuffed tortelini.  It was awesome!!!  Then we went to Petco to pick up dog food for me, toys for Catherine’s dogs, then to the Mercado for chorizo, rice and some marinated pork, then to Sam’s Club where I bought some chicken, grapes, wine and a stainless steel work table.  It’s on wheels so I can move it over to the sink or stove or frige and get my food preparation done. 

Catherine was my first guest in my new apartment and loves it.  It’s bigger and more room for Manley to lounge around!!  She thinks it suits me better than my last place. 

I start working for 2 weeks Monday through Friday. I only had one day off this weekend, will have both Sat and Sun next weekend and then Sat, Sun and Mon to transition into  the 2 Tues – Sat. weeks.  So, I have a 3 day 4th of July weekend!!

OH!!   I sold one of the cattery cats today.  Sugar Ray will be neutered and going to a new home west of Denver.  The buyers already have 2 pixiebobs from about 2 years ago and want to help out and give another one a good home. 

So, this should be a busier week for me with taking Sugar Ray up to be neutered. 

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!
