Saturday report: Hope everyone's weather isn't as wacky as ours...we're working on several inches of rain and it's still coming. Our sump pump is kicking on every 15 seconds or so, but at least water isn't getting into the house!
It's the kind of day that keeps you indoors, curled up in cozy, comfy blankies in "snuggle mode." Schmoo mastered this state, as he is in the photo below preparing to go into the mode -- and he could do it in all four seasons. But first, he'd puff out his fur to create the perfect snuggle mode nest. It's better than an extra blanket:
Love this photo. Mr. Schmoo getting fluffed for a wonderful nap time. 💖
Monday report: Happy Monday to all! Chubby continues to do well with his West Coast kitty sitter. The Original Kitty Sitter is heading to our east coast beaches to visit with some friends in Delaware, then she'll make one last pit stop here on her way back to California early next week. She had booked this trip long before she adopted Chubby and has been worried sick that he'd be OK, but he talks to her every day on the phone and is eating and sleeping well.
(Her West Coast kitty sitter, by the way, is the same one who helped her care for her Kiki-Girl, who died last July of lymphoma. This lady stayed with Kiki during the day while the Kitty Sitter was at work. She is very loyal.)
Speaking of loyalty, on to today's Schmoo Tale, one involving his sister SophSoph. When Schmoo's health went seriously south at the end of November 2010, Soph panicked but did not shy away from him. It was weeks before he was diagnosed because his symptoms appeared, then disappeared, then re-emerged, then changed. All the way he was declining, slipping away from us.
And all the way his "Me Too" sister Soph stayed with him. She was exhausted by the time the photo below was taken, the day after he was diagnosed with biventricular heart failure. She never, ever left his side during the early part of his ordeal, refusing to be out of his sight, 24/7, until his health stabilized a little -- which was more than a month later.
Loyalty has many faces. This is one:
Sammy, finally found your thread in this hot mess which is our new QVC format.... I hope you and your husband and family are well. Have a nice July 4th weekend. Anna [aka apple1964] PS Libby,: Steve and Tanya say hello and our awersome foursome say woof.
Tuesday report: It's great to hear from Shop and know that the boy pups are doing well as well as her Mom ... and from Anna and and her entire family, including Libby, Tanya and Steve. Even though the new forum can be a challenge, it has not broken our bonds.
It's the eve of the great battle of Gettysburg here, fought July 1-3, 152 years ago. Visitors are swarming our town, but because we've had so much rain, the re-enactments have been postponed because the ground is too soggy. Which leads to today's Schmoo Tale.
Those re-enactments meant the relentless boom of cannon and rifle fire, and unlike most quaint re-enactments in many towns, ours is the largest and the loudest. (They bring bleachers into ours so everyone can see, like a football game!) To Schmoo and Soph, they were the loudest noise they heard. Initially, they needed fans, televisions and white noise machines turned up to drown out the scary noise ... but over time, they got more acclimated to it.
The best solution? A darkened room, a sound machine playing ocean noises, and a comfy blankie to escape into ... as in the photo below. He's like a shark sleeping near the bottom of the ocean, eyes open and aware, but trying to shut out the reality of his noisy environment:
Wednesday Morning Greetings :-)
Sammycat... I've always wanted to go to Gettysburg and watch the reneactments of the battles ( especially Picket's doomed/infamous Charge)that took place there,to visit the town itself,etc. but as of yet have not been able to do so. If I recall correctly... a few years ago, didn't you post some kind of a link to the battlefield on the now "lost" and beloved original Schmoo thread?
Shop... So happy that your boys and your mom are doing well.
Anna/apple... Welcome back dear friend!
beauty... Hoping that you and Cookie are both feline much better today.
Continuing to send more special prayers to all of the precious furbabies and homeless animals who are still in need.
