The Catwalk

No, neither Wille nor I are modeling, we’re talking about a proper catwalk here. When the snow melted and everything got wet and dirty, including my white sofas after Mini and Bonus came inside and jumped straight onto them, I decided to figure out a way to prevent at least a little bit of that. See that piece of timber there on the wheelbarrow? That’s the catwalk.

 

See, both Mini and Bonus like to cross right over this flower bed when going to our neighbors yard. They ALWAYS walk along the edge there on the right. Rain or shine.

 

So what I did was put down a left over piece of the decking timber cut to size along the edge for them to walk on. Ha!

 

And do they use it? YES! I guess they don’t like to get their paws dirty if they don’t have to. And once the hydrangeas get bushy and everything else pops up in the flower bed later this spring and summer you won’t even notice the catwalk. Mission accomplished.

8

Today Mini and Bonus are eight! It’s hard to believe that they’ve been with us for almost eight years and I can’t imagine life without them. After all the leave muddy foot prints on my white sofas, hair everywhere, have fishy breath from their dinner AND  stomp all over us when we try to sleep. What’s not to love?

Happy birthday Mini & Bonus,  we love you so much!

Dining in Style

As you know Bonus is our scaredy-cat. He freaks out over most things like the opening of a soda bottle, crumpling of paper, someone ringing our door bell or god forbid someone else but Wille and I actually entering our house. Oh wait, that sometimes scares him too.

When we moved in 18 months ago we noticed that he liked to go hide in the basement as opposed to anywhere else in the house and when he’s anxious he still does. So we’ve made arrangements accordingly. He has a hidey-hole in the boiler room, the litter box behind a door and a little dining area too in case he “needs” to stay down there a little longer.

 

I didn’t want to place the bowls straight on the floor though so when I saw these stylish placemats at one of my favorite stores I picked one up. So now Bonus and Mini (who also likes to hang out down here now that it’s my bedroom) can dine in style.

Happy weekend!

Gifting a Bottle of Wine

Here’s a quick idea if you’re bringing a bottle.

 

Roll it up in some fabric (or a bandana, napkin, handkerchief or tea towel), tie string or yarn around the neck and hang some buttons for fun.

 

Place cute kitty behind.

Happy weekend!

Sis n' Bro

 

Awww, how cute are sis n’ bro at the end of the garden? I love you kitties!

I have next week off work. Yay! There will be a Monday post as normal but I will take the rest of that week off blogging in an attempt to finish off some of the projects on my list. Also my contractors are scheduled to come and finally switch out the skylights.

Happy weekend!
