She is a Grand Kitty visiting from Seattle. You don’t see her? Zoom in. She is the furry tush you see re-entering her brick house. This shy little lady is not an over enthusiastic visitor, but she does come out now and then for cuddles and head scritches. Henry, on the other hand, is downstairs only while his niece is visiting upstairs. He seems to think life would be best if he and the Miss Thing shared space. Although I’ve explained her shyness he thinks family members should be together. I think March 14th would be way too exciting if I listened to him.</div>Henry's humanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01774270302086316852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093229339512213733.post-64345085300310614692024-02-17T15:09:00.000-08:002024-02-17T15:09:49.822-08:00Henry Supervising<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipvG06353n_LhLEPT2zlTtKwKZHNzIAeBrwT9svNYKnGkjxjidy5jW8WdvZUOVfqZNNiP_e7YXUBqAZxvTo5JKjcX_MDh0L6gRVnvTj8Uo0kWqL8cWIqi-3i-dFoCXi59yGYmTKtdK1iFL0pqsHC74M2PMDACADCHLGGWYI9nrdihMGbCcOqZknlaT_x0/s4032/IMG_1686.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipvG06353n_LhLEPT2zlTtKwKZHNzIAeBrwT9svNYKnGkjxjidy5jW8WdvZUOVfqZNNiP_e7YXUBqAZxvTo5JKjcX_MDh0L6gRVnvTj8Uo0kWqL8cWIqi-3i-dFoCXi59yGYmTKtdK1iFL0pqsHC74M2PMDACADCHLGGWYI9nrdihMGbCcOqZknlaT_x0/s320/IMG_1686.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Henry spent a couple days this week supervising the addition of solar panels.

The base did involve a lot of grinding. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdtRJil-Wj3ajw9HsO3nklg8qYIT2LNs_DJGBznEzdzeiKJjoEJT1Ce5c40hghgGaHBAC2CUOadZrSmRuY_uH1pM9Ret-jb14ADz3nrC6y9AqRKvVRrMaZDftDrp8v0AKqjriO21uz22cP6Ygfrrd0i1zOt0tj7TxkR7bcgpBrjfOnY9JF9IkydgYm/s320/IMG_0419.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdtRJil-Wj3ajw9HsO3nklg8qYIT2LNs_DJGBznEzdzeiKJjoEJT1Ce5c40hghgGaHBAC2CUOadZrSmRuY_uH1pM9Ret-jb14ADz3nrC6y9AqRKvVRrMaZDftDrp8v0AKqjriO21uz22cP6Ygfrrd0i1zOt0tj7TxkR7bcgpBrjfOnY9JF9IkydgYm/s1600/IMG_0419.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYU_21cp7r6QCnTtpANaXaVr0SWsa_Kw7qWs-apmG0sc-yo4aB8hi8v-w5m4fKTKS9JheIXPdGUcsH01-sTHEBfsYXozi4BMEhxt92YPpyN0HQ6ZbGHpyTODSZTZegOnVvZkuHqv7P4qat3tHno5bZ7tXqAxsWxaiBdTj42_LfhCS5fjNI5o8xmixd/s640/IMG_0137.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYU_21cp7r6QCnTtpANaXaVr0SWsa_Kw7qWs-apmG0sc-yo4aB8hi8v-w5m4fKTKS9JheIXPdGUcsH01-sTHEBfsYXozi4BMEhxt92YPpyN0HQ6ZbGHpyTODSZTZegOnVvZkuHqv7P4qat3tHno5bZ7tXqAxsWxaiBdTj42_LfhCS5fjNI5o8xmixd/w640-h480/IMG_0137.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And at last - most of the family - no Sue.

I would have named them all if they had hung around Henry’s yard. Well, that didn’t happen! They briefly checked out the mud basin I created for them (they are mason bees 🐝 after all). They did a fly-by for the flowers 🌺 🌸 💐 🌹that I potted for the little ungrateful fellas. With that, they then - every one of them - flew off to the inviting neighbor yard. Ungrateful bugs! Hopefully some will return and deposit the mason bee babies for next year. I promise to take great care of their bee-babes.<br />

That is the look his well meaning mom is getting after saying the dreaded word...and in the time it’s taken to post this - he has disappeared. No problem. His tail is usually showing around the edge of his hiding spot. </span><br />

I guess we are all dealing with the coronavirus in our own way. My house is sheltering in place seriously and we are into our second week. Henry is bored. We just are not filling in the racing-around-the-house play actively enough. He needs extra because our walks are down to two short ones a day.<br />
<br />
We are lucky to live in a very quiet area - I cannot imagine what folks do in Seattle or New York. A walk around our blocks see maybe one or two folks out walking their dogs - but the neighborhood dog walkers are a careful group. No buddy-dog sniffing here. We cross to opposite sides of the street. <br />
So, we go out to admire the fruit trees in early bloom - wondering if a late freeze will ruin our crop. I’ve only spotted on bee. I was tempted to steal it from my neighbor’s tree and carry it home.<br />
<br />

<br />
As you can see, when we return home, Henry has not had enough. First he races in circles to encourage more play time, then he creates a spot on his blankets to hunker down until his people get going again.<br />

Here is Henry on his boat - no doubt sailing away. Because he really is not a water dog - bath or lake - his boat is beached. That didn’t stop the sea creature from attempting to gobble him up when he walked the plank. Be aware, no dogs were injured in this photo shoot!<br />

He hears the word "fish" and he is out the door to the deck, down 40 stairs to the lawn and out across to the dock. He will remain on that dock until his peep heads to the the stairs, back up to the cabin.<br />
<br />
This year we cut the trips down those stairs way down. The Washington, Idaho, Canada, Montana fires made the air quality pretty horrible. There have been so many times we couldn't even see across the lake - so I'm thinking Henry couldn't see the fish even if they were zipping about down there.<br />

It is tough getting a hair cut. Going from fluffy and insulated to short and trim is a bit embarrassing for a pup even when pa peep says he looks great. Poor Henry - his dust mop fur will be much easier to handle now that the mop of wavy hair is trimmed to 1/2" - but Henry knows he is going camping and likes to gather pitch, twigs and dirt. The gathering process will be much more difficult now.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mama peep says "yay!" Henry just looks long suffering. <br />
<br />
He will get over it. I promise.Henry's humanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01774270302086316852noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093229339512213733.post-34221012586545271642016-05-31T15:09:00.000-07:002016-05-31T15:09:31.257-07:00Mutt and Jeff <div style="text-align: left;">

This I must share. These two sweeties are the current foster kitties at my daughter and son's home. Mutt and Jeff are their second set of fosters - the first set was a mama with five kittens. Mama Cat and the fostering couple were all overwhelmed with those five darling rug rats! I met these two the other day and they are adorable. I already have two, Otto and Vivika plus Henry the pup or I'd steal them away. I had forgotten how fragile baby cats feel when held. Under that fluff, there isn't much. These two are working on gaining the weight needed to have their pre-adoption surgery. I am sure they will be snapped up by new loving parents. Hope they go as a set! Henry was not given even a glimpse of the two babies. This is Henry pouting. He loves trying to herd the cats.</div>

The best of times is fishing for Henry. Every year the season crops up and Henry races down the stairs to (unsuccessfully) capture the elusive trout.....okay, sunfish.....under the dock. <br />
<br />
Imagine his disappointment when we made it to the lake and the dock wasn't prepared for summer yet. The ramp still tied to the dock top and no way to get out there! So there he sits looking for barking distractions. <br />
<br />
And then, yes! The guys come to put out the ramp and here he goes. Fish.<br />
<br />
<br />

Henry's birthday slipped by when I wasn't watching. His last few days of not feeling so hot distracted his peep. He is now back to his wonderful bouncy self...so, here is his five year old picture. Still so handsome.<br />
<br />
Shh. Time for a bath. Lets not tell him before I lure him into his bathroom with a birthday doggie biscuit.<br />

We have blossoms! Apple, plum, cherry and pear are all budding. There is eye candy everywhere. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Spring has sprung. Anacortes is even forecast for five days running with sunshine - and one day 70 degrees. Oh my :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
And then there is Henry. The pup has a case of the springtime blues or something. Ever since his haircut he has been dragging - even when I get out his leash for a walk, he just looks instead of his typical leaps and wiggles. He has been wearing his sweatshirts for warmth and still has his shivery moments. </div>

Poor baby boy. Papa peep thinks he might have picked up a bug at the groomers. Mom peep sees he is eating his kibble and chicken and has a cold damp nose as usual. Adoptive doggie parents worry. </div>

It is tough when all that fluffy fur gets trimmed off. The poor pup is used to the coat and can't figure out how those short hairs cousins deal with it. Henry has been wearing sweatshirts around the clock to prevent shivers. Summer cannot come too fast for this boy!<div>
