Yesterday, my son, Mustachio, called just to see how I was and to catch up on our lives. He told me that Sheepie had come home with a kitten that looks like it is part Calico, part Tiger and part raccoon. Very unique looking. He said he would send me a picture of it but I haven't gotten it yet. When I do, I'll share it. But, he said that Sheepie pulled a *Puss in boots* face on him (you will know the face I mean if you have seen the movie, Shrek) and begged him to let her keep it. Think of that face and you won't wonder why he couldn't say *no* to her. So they have a dog AND a cat living with them now.
He said that the dog was, at first, not liking the cat at all but that changed within a day. They both are tolerating each other well now.
I told him about Baron and Sassy and their actually cuddling together. That wasn't how it started out but they get along just fine now and even play together. Oh, and we did find out what happened to Sassy's brother. He's been adopted by the neighbors in back of us and is an inside cat now. Their cat died (of old age) about a year or so ago. I know that the woman missed her cat a lot. I would, too, after almost 18 years. I guess the brother furbaby liked their food better (they gave him canned...lol). The Beast discovered this when he stopped to talk to the wife while he was out taking Baron for his run. He just asked if they had seen the furbaby and she thought the Beast was looking for *our* cat and started to apologize but he told her that he was just worried that something might have happened to him. Something bad. She was relieved and said he seemed content. That's all we needed to know. I know Sassy wants to be petted and held a lot since her brother deserted her but she enjoys having Baron around.
Chewlee gathered up some of the long grass and some other growing things in a huge pile and went and fed it to the chickens today. They LOVED it all and, at first, started to fight over it until she had scattered quite a few piles around their yard. They all claimed an area for themselves and just gorged on it. I think that they missed the greenery in their diet since they had cleared out the grass and now have to wait for it to grow. They don't pull it out of the ground but they do eat it down to the ground. Now we just need a bit more rain and then it will abound again.
We ate BLT's for our dinner tonight...Chewlee didn't want the T so she literally had a bacon and lettuce sandwich. On toast, with mayonnaise. She screwed up her nose when she saw I had mayo on it but I told her to try it before she objected. When she did, she liked it. I won't say she was crazy about it but I couldn't imagine it without anything on it but bacon and lettuce. Maybe on just plain bread but.... All of the bacon was really crispy since the Beast bakes it in the oven. It's great made that way. We have a grid that fits over the pan so all the drippings go into it. No splatters like you can get when you fry it in a pan on the stove...and no splatter burns, either!
Chewlee now likes to take showers instead of taking a bath. She also loved my shower soaps. I laughed because she used one fragrance on her body and the other one on her face and neck. I think she used the one on her face and neck because she wants a *peaches and cream* complexion....LOL.
She spent tonight figuring out my age versus her age at different stages of her future life. She actually thinks I just might live long enough to see them. I was so glad to hear that. I assured her that I was going to try my best to be around.
Well, it's late and she seems to finally be settled in. She has to go home tomorrow morning because her mother said they still have to color eggs, take pictures for Easter and a few other things. I think the Beast is going to meet up with a couple people from his church tomorrow morning so I will have to drive her home. That's why I need to get to bed now.
Love you all. Be good. I missed out on checking my FB site since I was busy around the house, and also played a game on Pogo with Chewlee. She really loves those hidden object games. So do I, actually. It's always fun with her because she sees things that I miss and vice versa. Have a great weekend and a Happy Easter. ***Hugs***
