Friday Flashback

Going back just to this week in 2016... 

Iza was grooming her mink-like fur.

Marley was enjoying a planter inside (inspired by Eric and Flynn).

Ayla was enjoying a box.

And then the stacked towels on the shoe rack.

The Mews wanted to go out, but it was really too cold.  So I o;ened the door just enough for them to sniff the outside.

Iza showed off her toesies together.

Marley and Iza enjoyed sleeping in dresser-drawers.

They were all calm and happy!

Twofur Tuesday

Under-Waterbed Buddies In Morning:  

 Marley and Laz get along OK.  When Laz is calm...

Can We Go Out?:

Yesterday afternoon...

TBT:  Yes, it is still light enough.  They get a little uncertain when I am out and open the door from the deck side because if I am coming in, they think they should stay in too.  And maybe they assume it means mealtime (and often enough, they are right).  I usually open it from the inside when they are allowed out.  They are pretty good about that.

Laz charges the door anytime it is opened though.  In fact, if I don't open it fully or fast enough, he cracks his crazy head against the gap.  😬  

And they don't like walking on dry crunchy deck leaves. You should see them trying to find small bare spots to step in, LOL!  I swept the leaves off after they were down in the yard.  They appreciated that when they returned later...  

Easy Like Sunday

 We were all waiting ta go out this morning as soon as TBT got up!

So was Ayla, but she doesnt like ta sit around with the rest of us.  So she charged the door as soon as we were outside...

Wensday Waiting

TBT:  I am calling this "Waiting For Go-Door", LOL!

MARLEY:   It isnt often these days that I am anxious ta go out.  That is more the Lori&Laz thing now.  Laz always want to rush out as if there was a stunned skwerrel out on the deck (he is even willing to skip breakfast to get outside), and Lori both follows him and likes to be outside herself.

So when TBT saw I was waiting around the door, he grabbed the camera!

Well, sometimes I like ta go out too.  So we were waiting fer TBT to open the door.  I know, I l know, there have to be pictures...  MOL!

TBT has to be careful with Laz.  The door has to be opened quickly.  Otherwise, Laz crashes into the gap.  One time, TBT only got the door slightly (slipped his grip) and Laz crashed right into the space that was narrower than he is.  His head was out but the rest of him wouldnt fit.  And Lori tried to jump over him and bounced off too. 

I cracked up!  Im not mean, but those two kits are amusing sometimes when they dont look before they leap.  Im more cautious.  I always like to look around carefully before I walk out onto the deck.  I mean, there could be a Vishus Deer waiting in ambush or something.

But annyway, this time the door got opened wide and we 3 went out for a while.  

Easy Like Sunday

AYLA:   More of me outside.  I have been feeling more confident lately.  Well, Lori wants to play and I don't.  But Laz is less of a daily problem.  Marley tells me that Laz just needed time to calm down.  Its been 2 years, he better be calmed down by now!  

So, annyway, I was out because the other Mews were out in the yard and my path was clear.

I do stay on the deck these days...

He had to take this pic through the deck glass because I would have run in if he opened the door...

Like this...

Im allus happier in the house than out these days.  Though getting out for a while is nice.

So it was a good time out.

And it is Kitten Day, so let's see what we can find...

Marley's first Day.

And an early picture of Ayla before she turned 1 year...

Lapis Lazuli kitten...

Lorelei Lee kitten:

And Skeeter and LC, for old time sakes...

The Other Side Of The Door!

LAZ:  OMC, OMC, OMC!  I was brought OUT yesserday!  

I WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR!  Finally...

TBT decided it was time.  He wrapped me up in some harnessy-thingy and a rope leash.  And held me while we STEPPED OUT...

So here are all the pictures.  I dint complain about the camera AT ALL.  I was sniffin an lookin and lookin and sniffin!

 He promised to let me wander hold me.

I tried to escape held on for dear life. 

Oh Bast!  All the smells...

The sounds...

I was brave scared...

It was all so DIFFERNT!

TBT never let me go.

I was practly in shock.

I looked around EVRYWHERE!

But also made sure I was protectin TBT.  There BIRDS out here!

I never saw Marley THIS way.  Like AT the door.

He yawned.  I was ecited beyond belleef!

TBT held me for his protecshun...

I mean *I* dint need it...

 But it all was quite a serprise...

 I kept my neck in his hand so he woudnt worry. 

A FIRM NECK of course.

Woudnt want him to get al worried out n the deck...

So to calm him, I sat deep in his lap.

But I did look around more when he seemed calm...

After a while, I let him know it was all OK.  He let the leash a bit loose, and I pulled th harness off.  And when I realized I was loose I wandered around the deck ran for the door to get back inside.

Just so he wouldn't worry ya know?

Not that I was all THAT ecited but I ate a whole can of food afterwards. 

 

Easy Like Sunday

It is morning and we all want to get out.  We have had breakfast.  We look out, prowl around the place where the door opens on TBT's command and wait. 

Oh C'mon door, OPEN!

And then TBT commands it to open and we are OUT.  To smell the air full of birdies and rabbits and Evil Skwerls, and voles etc.  And maybe find a couple.  Not that we often DO, but we always have hopes...
