View Article  Kitties by the heater

In order to save on the electric bill, I keep the temp on 65 degrees F.  Though the cats can easily survive that (considering they have been going outside when it was 30 degrees), they really don't like it. 

I have a little electric space heater near my computer for my feet (bad circulation due to diabetes means my feet freeze even with socks on).  I swear the cats know the sound of the fan on this little heater.

Yesterday I was sitting at the computer and my feet got cold.  So I turned the space heater on.  The picture below was taken two or three minutes later--and neither of these cats were anywhere to be found before the heater was on...

View Article  Baby quail MPEG
The attachement is a tiny MPEG that I made for my daughters, so they could see just how cute the little quail can be.  The larger chicks are white coturnix (pharoah) quail, the tiny little ones are button quail. Though only 4 seconds long, it is 1.95 MB.

View Article  My guard dogs guarding my sofa...

My very sweet outside dogs have become my very sweet, very big inside dogs.   It has been a week of very cold weather, and we have no dog barn up for them. In Alvin, we had a barn that was 8 x 10 with one of those hot red lights in it for when it got chilly.  When it got down right cold, the dogs were in the house.

But here we have nothing up for them yet.  And I won't let them stay outside in the cold all night, that would be cruel.  So, I don't get to use the sofa to watch movies...it always seems to be occupied when it gets cold outside...
