Thursday Thirteen - Edition 47


THINK SPRING!


We thing spring might finally be here in the Mitten State. Here's thirteen things that make us think so:

1. The sun has been shining, giving us great sunspots in which to warm our furs.

2. The Stripey Motor City Kitties are on a losing streak. 0-7 as of 8 pm last night. Please do not confuse them with the other Motor City Kitties that also tend to lose a lot of games. hee hee

3. The days are getting longer, which means that we're probably going to have to play Thundering Herd of Elephants starting around 2 am instead of 3 am. That's really going to cut into our nap time.

4. STROLLERING!!!

5. There have been lots of dawgs being walked in the neighborhood. Ripley the Greyhound was even out without his coat on Sunday.

6. The grass is sort of maybe getting green.

7. Dad has been wearing shorts, even though Momma is still wearing long sleeve t-shirts and sweatshirts and her wool socks. Because she is always cold.

8. Did we mention STROLLERING???!!!

9. The Detroit Red Wings' first round playoffs start tonight!!!

10. There was a Hairy Tazo sighting the other afternoon.

11. Open windows and fresh air.

12. ROAMING BANDS OF VICIOUS AND RABID GOLDEN RETRIEVERS. IN OUR YARD. ROAMING. VICIOUSLY. WHILE WE ARE TRYING TO GO STROLLERING!!!

13. Momma's been doing lots of decluttering and spring cleaning. She even threw out some :gasp: TOYS.


In other news, yesterday morning, Momma poured a mug of coffee and left it on the stove while she ran to the bathroom to put another coating of gunk on her hair. Then she heard some sloshing and then the sound of breaking glass. heh Then we got yelled at. Well, not Titus, because he's a goody two shoes, but me and EG. But the yelling was more like, "Don't step in the broken glass!" rather than getting in trouble. She asked us who did it, but we're not telling even though it was EG because I do not push mugs off of the counter. I think we have her trained pretty well. And I think that Sammy might be super proud of us. hee hee

  5. Hey, look, it's a new theme! We thought we were lost for a minute there. Sometimes we gets confused easily. But we'd know those frootbat ears anywhere!

    We've never tried Strollering, because we can go outside. Anything that gets you outside is wonderful!

  7. That's a whole lot of strollerin'!

    Watch out for those roaming bands of vicious golden retrievers. We just have bands of vicious roaming teenage skaters in our neighborhood. Loki fearlessly defends our yard from them.

  17. Oh yes, it does sound like Spring is definately at your house.

    I have a new stroller and still have not been strollering - I think that would be considered cat abuse if you ask me.

    Mommy got such a funny visual of this that she kind of snorted some more diet coke out of her nose. She knows how "vicious" those Goldens can be!

  21. Spring has come here, but it's still cold. We have leaves on our tree outside my window, but it's too cold to have the window open but a minute. Maybe this weekend we will have warmer weather.

    Hugs...G

  22. I think you have made a very good case for the arrival of spring at your house! The strollering really tipped us off!
