Pet Pixels

April 11 is National Pet Day, to appreciate our pets and raise awareness about animals in need of adoption.


Adopt, Don't Shop.

For today's Caturday artified image, we have Da Boyz snuggled up while napping, then I pixelated it on Lunapic.

Click on the image to enjoy a jigsaw puzzle.

Unfortunately, I've had to change comments to this blog to 'always moderate'.

So annoying!

Maybe they'll give up after awhile...well, I can hope.  ๐Ÿคจ

Henry Update:

He's holding his own.

On Tuesday, he was at 1 on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest.

Friday, I'd rate him at 6.5, but the force is strong in Henry!

Cannot imagine how I'd handle this if I was working full-time still, and you know what?

My old team has been called back into the office, rather than working remotely.

Glad to be off of that merry-go-round, but it's fun to meet up for lunch with my former co-workers to catch up once in awhile.

Survival of the Fittest ๐Ÿ˜น

April 10 is Siblings Day in the US and Canada; a day to recognize, honor, and celebrate the special bond between siblings.

Learn more at Siblings Day Foundation here.

Wikipedia reports that Brothers and Sisters Day is observed in Europe on May 31.

A few sillies for your entertainment:


I may be #5 child of six, and have had some crazy sibling stuff happen, but at least we never dressed up as pickles.

I do really like pickles...yum.

Henry Update:

Henry had an experience on Thursday: the bed sheets needed laundering, and he's been stuck to the bed like a burr.

He looked as if I was trying to grab him for a ride in the carrier, but we slid the sheets out from under him carefully.

He's eating better, yet his energy is low.

Perhaps a few more good meals will spark him into jumping on counters or playing with his spring toys again.

So appreciate all of the love and purrs that y'all have sent!

Don't Mess With One of These!

National Unicorn Day on April 9, is mostly celebrated in Scotland.

But why should the Scots have all of the fun?!?

Go forth and spread some sparkles on this holiday.

Am thankful that there are other folks out there like me, who enjoy the goofy, the bizarre, and want to just have fun with reality or with fictional beasties!

~~~

Thank you all for your concern for Henry.

Wednesday morning, he'd eaten all...ALL...of the food that I'd left for him.

I put out fresh, smelly stuff.

He ate that, plus his dinner, and now a little bit extra that I snuck past Da Boyz.

Our primary goal is that he gets food in his tummy, and we hope the current habit stays strong even after we tail back on the meds.

And do I adore having him curl up next to me at night?

YES!
