Follow The Path

 The First Saturday in May is World Labyrinth Day!

Learn more here at The Labyrinth Society.

Have always wanted to walk a labyrinth, but not one inside a place of worship, rather one outside in Mother Nature.

Not a labyrinth cartoon, but close enough...

😹

It's Caturday!

Had this funny pic of Henry, looking at me like I'm wacko, so I used by Prisma app and artified it four ways, then made a collage.

Henry Update:

Henry seems to avoid any food bowl that I've mixed the powered B12 or probiotics in.

He's sneaky!

Lay awake thinking of how to get the powder-filled capsules into him, as they are big and dry, seeming a harsh thing, and what if it gets stuck?

Friday AM, I tried something new by rolling all the powder from a capsule into pill pocket goo, then tossing it down Henry's hatch along with his regular med glob.

I'm sneaky!

Today it's May

May Day is the starting point of summer fun, even if some of us are only dreaming of warmer temps.

đŸĨļ

A few sillies for your entertainment:

🌷🌞 ☔️ 🍀 đŸĒģ

May 1, 2026 is Bealtaine (or Beltane), a major Celtic fire festival marking the start of summer and the "light half" of the year, traditionally celebrated around May 1st (May Eve/May Day). 

It signifies a time of fertility, protection, and new beginnings.

Get out there and dance, leave an offering for the fairies, and celebrate!

Henry Update:

The H Man followed me into the bathroom yesterday, for the first time in weeks.

Then he found his catnip fish toy, and chewed a hole in it.

😹

Still working through the switch from the PM appetite stimulant dose to AM; he doesn't eat much until hours later, so his breakfast bowl sits unlicked.

Because I open his B12 and probiotic capsules to mix into his food, I must shuffle my approach so I know he's getting the meds.

Henry's Health Update:

He gave me a fright by not eating much all day, but managed to eat up a goodly portion after his 8 PM meds.

The pooplogs I was so pleased about have turned back into loose stuff, yet the B12 sprinkled into his food just started a few days ago; best give it a bit longer to see if he adapts.

Henry got a spa treatment on Wednesday; a good combing, and then brushies.

He LURVs to bunt his noggin against any part of a human he can reach, and he's so cute.
