24Apr24: Andy’s ‘nipped…

He’s got the blank look of a ‘nip user, and he stayed there like this, immobile for several minutes.

He’s really twitchy now, my next clue.

He moved over to the lapboard and slept it off. Good ‘niip!

=(^+^)=

I couldn’t access the Internet on my laptop yesterday. It looked pretty grim because Spectrum tech support’s Jaimie wasn’t able to come up with a solution. I decided it was a good time to stand away from the problem and come back the next day. I have exactly no idea what I did differently today, but I have WiFi again. I hate computers! And I love them to death. 

01Aug20: What’s up, Doug?

Andy’s curious. Why won’t I let him come around to the other side? 

Maybe it’s because he has “Itchy Paws” and all I need to start hyperventilating again is Andy to wipe out what little hard won progress I’ve made on the nightmare configuration issues on my new laptop and photo sharing from my smart phone.

Seems like I resolve one issue and bring up twelve more. I’m not kidding about hyperventilation! ( I hope the person who cuts my beard and hair is operating again soon or I might be tempted to do it myself. >self to myself< “Don’t do it, Doug!”) 

 

Post 1896: The kitty boys are back!

IMG_20181104_071823

We’ve had a grumpy few days, thanks to a laptop giving up the ghost, but my new laptop means the kitty boys and I can return to regular posting.

What’s going to fall apart next? I suspect it’s time for the smart phone to go belly up. I mean, don’t expensive things always fail close to expensive holidays like Christmas? And it’s about the only bit of technology I use that’s left to croak!

23Apr26: home from the hospital

The best part of home again after dialysis is I get to be with my kitty!
He’s usually napping, of course.
So…
..I wake him up…
…with some of….
…his…
…favorite…
…”scritches.”
Yeah. And a few head pats to top it off.

Now, time for kitty food!

22Apr26: what I prepared; what he ate…

“Andy!”
“…kitty food time!”
What!
Oh, the “empty” dry food bowls.
Hide your head in shame, Andrew!
That’s better!
Now a kitty bath, and…
…if I leave him alone,  a kitty nap.

21Apr26: the window..

The front dining room window is Andy’s favorite for birding.
Early mornings, they congregate on the power lines.
Then then flock down to the l a bne and grass where Andy gets a better view.
Up again to the power lines!
Down again closer in on the grass.Andy is most entertained!

20Apr26: a day to perch…

It has been a slow morning.
Andy woke up from a wheelchair nap and hopped onto the recliner back.
It gives him a clear view of the front room and some of others…
…or of me!
What’s happening in the guest bedroom?
Nothing!

Andy is busy being a perching kitty.

So it’s back to the wheelchair…
… for…
… a snooze.

19Apr26: Andy love, love, loves the wheelchair!

…and why not?

It’s handy.

It’s there.

He took right to it.
It fits him just so!
Great for grooming, too.
Just resting?
Yes!
At least it is if I leave him alone.

18Apr26: another exciting “Andy morning!”

A bit of front door birding gets my kitty boy going! Starlings, American Robins, and house sparrows so far.
Off on important kitty business.

Heads on…
…tails away!
Hey! He watches me, but I have a camera!!
Now, the back door bird watch. I hear Americam robins.
So does Andy! Sorry, Andy. It’s illegal to catch some for your breakfast.
Speaking of which, it’s a bit past seven and mine is ready to eat!
Aw, to dream….
…then have breakfast.
Speaking of which, I started to have mine a bit past seven.
Cold. What to expect an hour 20 after I sat down to eat, I then got diverted.
Time for Andy’s
…kitty nap.

A busy morning, eh!, Andrew!

=(^+^)=

“If it moves….”

 

Fortunately, when it did move, it turned out to be shedded kitty hair some ants thought they might have a use for.

17Apr26: we just woke up.

Zzzz…hi, Andy!
I spotted him first thing tonight/ this morning…
..what’s the time anyway? Oh! One-forty-seven AM! I slept, then, almost five hours. Of course, I dozed in my chair a lot before I went to bed.
Wait! The wee rascal is up.on the table snooping!
So this us what he does at night.
That’s better, Andrew!

15Apr26: another shorty…

Andy ran off before I could get more shots.

That leaves boring me.

Wanna see my boob job scar. It it’s still healing.

I told you this would be boring!

14Apr26: a fresh start…

New Greenies arrived. The last batch was getting stale, per Andy, and even he wouldn’t touch b them.
I was curious about Reese’s mini peanut butter cupwould they be bakrdcinto banana nut muffins?
Different, but more crunchy than regular baking chocolate chips. Also, these are very sweet. I had a strong couple of tea to try to tame that sweetness.
Taking a television break.
Pouty time.
This, Greenies,  took care of the pouty mood!
Andy took off on important kitty business.

13Apr26: this is “nothing doing day….”

This is “nothing doing day.” Andy will enjoy being home alone, and Doug will lie back on a recliner to have his blood cleaned of impurities and excess water. 

I suspect long naps might happen later. Guaranteed.
