Wordless Wednesday: It’s a trap

I am one lucky duck that my job allows me to work from home on occasion. With the natural light to uplift my mood and some good old-fashioned classic rock softly thumping in the background (smoke on the waaaahta, fire in the sky . . .), it lends to a productive environment.

Until the cat shows up.

After he’s leapt onto the table to tip my coffee mug, Bodine settles his furry mass comfortably on my documents. Rather absent-mindedly, he bats about my pen with a lazy paw and asks, so whatcha doin’?

Please don’t think less of me when I tell you that I had to set up a trap. The cat left me no choice, you see.

It’s the only thing that will contain him effectively.

The Cardboard Box Cat Trap.

Wordless Wednesday: Oh yeah. Jager

I’m all clean and bright and shiny . . .

I brought Jager into the office yesterday and was reminded that it’s been, oh I dunno, maybe a few months since he was last there.

Did you get a new dog? I was asked more than a couple of times. Or just as shaming –  poor Jager. Did she let you out of the basement for a day?

Somewhat guilt ridden, I will attempt to redeem myself by highlighting the spotted dog on today’s WW post. But will now trump that redemption by having a little fun at his expense.



No-o-o-o-o-o!

 Jager does not have a good relationship with water. He acts like bath time involves boiling acid.

And our trip to Myrtle Beach was fraught with such peril along the seashore.

That poor dog.

Wordless Wednesday: Head Butt Love

We interrupt our Yaxley reports to bring you this image of inter-species bonding. They say a head butt by a cat is the ultimate compliment, so Micron should be feeling the love here.

But unfortunately, this is Bodine the Sociopathic Cat we’re talking about. He’s pretty much Head Butt (I love you, man!) followed by a fully clawed smack on the pink nose (eat THIS, scurvy dog!). 

Cats are weird, Micron says.

Wordless Wednesday: Yaxley is treat sized

See Yaxley in the melee? There he is, the little fella, right next to Micron’s gaping maw. It looks like that wee noggin would fit neatly into that dark, slobbery abyss, doesn’t it?

This pack of yeller dogs is, from left to right, Karsen, Yaxley, Micron and Kel. Photo was taken at our old office last year. Yax was about two and a half months old.

Final countdown folks.  Three days until Yaxley’s matriculation into the Advanced Training program at Canine Companions for Independence. 

Would we call it a Teddy Duck?

What do dogs dream about anyway?  With legs twitching and those muffled little barks that come out as squeaks, there’s something rather exciting happening in that noggin. The cat is off limits in the real world, but in your dreams . . . well, the imagination’s the limit. Chase that little bugger as far as you want, kiddo.

Or maybe, if you fell asleep with a stuffed duck in your mouth, you might be looking about your dreamworld for a water bowl to help with a serious case of cotton mouth.

A not-before-published photo of Yaxley from June 2011. Still a young fella sleeping with his, um. . .what would we call that, a Teddy Duck? Sadly, the duck later met his fate with the Mighty Micron, who eviscerated the thing.
