where our wasted time becomes your wasted time

Poor widdle Pfennig

by 10 Comments

I broke down and took Pfennig to the vet.  She’s had a crusty/goopy eye for an embarrassingly long amount of time.  (Since….December? I don’t know.)  She’s ok, just some conjunctivitis that may be blocking her tear ducts. The cute vet* said that we had two options – just do some eye medicine and hope that it cures everything, or put her under anesthesia and flush out her tear ducts with money.  Of course, I’m trying the eye cream first.

It is much more pleasant taking Pfennig to the vet than Cricket.  Cricket lashes out at everyone there and one time she bit all the way through my finger.  Pfennig just trembles and shoots fur out in clouds.  This time she got to stay in the box for the whole thing. (We don’t have a cat carrier since I gave it away with a kitten in it once.  The box is far funnier.)

Woe to me!

* I should say, “One of the cute vets”, for there are three – all cute.

What could happen if you let eye infections go too long?  Ned can tell you….

Avast, mateys! Play me a sea chanty!!!!

MAN do I have the munchies.

Occasionally we give our old, creaky cats some catnip just so we can watch them get high and beat the Meow Mix out of each other.  There’s no greater entertainment.  These photos are pre-attack, when they haven’t quite realized that they’re actually occupying the same rug.

Second Trick?

Hair clog

 (Annette, this one’s for you.)  The vent that heats the bathroom is under Lloyd’s sink.  Can you guess who has known about this heating gold mine for ten years? 

One good trick

If you’re not Brad (or us), you’ve never seen Pfennig in “action”.  The world’s laziest cat has one trick – divining for water.  She’s remarkable – she finds it every single time! 

This video may look cute, but I want to shoot her when she digs for water at 3 a.m.  “It’s IN the BOWL, idiot!!”

Dancing Queen

by 2 Comments

Bethany can dance… Charles and Deborah stopped by over Christmas break, and, every once in a while, while we were listening to some tunes and generally making fun of Brad, a song would play that Bethany found particularly compelling and she would turn into a dancing machine. As you might have heard, Lauren got a new camera for Christmas, so we actually have evidence. Note Macy obliviously playing in the foreground (she’s obviously seen this sort of thing before) and Phennig watching in the background (she’s obviously not seen this sort of thing before).
