Chuck's Diary Entry: March 13, 2017

Dear Diary,

The cold continues, but my humans are having more fun than they should!  While I and sissy Angel curl up in tight balls to sleep away the chill, the human called The Hubby is busily heating pots on the stove with hot water, then setting them around as mini-radiators.  This way, we've stayed relatively comfy.  The human called The Mom goes out every day to earn green papers or go off gallivanting.  She even had her head fur trimmed, but never showed it to us because it was too cold and she kept her hat on the whole time!

Scroll your mouse over each photo for more news.

Saturday morning temps were cold!

Big pots full of water, keeping the house warmish!

The Mom won't show off her new hairdo!

Angel keeps an eye on everything!

It's me, Chucky...sniffing at the camera
And yet I am still frisky, and demand some kibble at every chance...even though The Humans tell me that I am not allowed kibble.  I WANT SOME, since I can see that my outside friends get to eat it!  I meow and whine, and dance around the kitchen.  The Mom thinks she can put me off by sprinkling more nutritional yeast on my wet food, and yes, it mollifies me for a moment...but I'll keep trying no matter what!  The Hubby found an old battery-powered radio, and some old speakers so they can listen to music or NCAA basketball games.  I enjoyed the music, even with The Mom caterwauling about Free Birds and Zeppelins and some other human named Bob Seger. She even danced around Angel, making screechy noises along with Frampton...what the heck is a Frampton?  I covered my eyes with my paw at that point, folks!

The Mom here!

The Hubby has gone all 'Jeremiah Johnson' on us; keeping things warm and a steady stream of food...yum!  The power company reports that we should have power by 11:30 PM tonight.  Since we are currently experiencing snow flurries and wind, it sure will be nice to having the heat on!  Patty and Sweetie are doing fine without their warming pad; here are some photos of them sunning themselves yesterday (before the snow) in the neighbor's garden.

Patty's fur colors make him almost invisible next to Sweetie!

Patty O'Malley is such a clown!

  8. MeOW Your radiators are really cool. but ifin ya' have a workin' stove, why don't ya' just turn on da oven? Seems dat would warm up da place purretty quick. We're glad all is well and hope you get power soon. As fur da kibble, kibble ain't good fur us kitties dude, be glad your mommy won't give it to ya'. Mommy puts ProBios, a probiotic on our noms and it makes 'em taste great. Big hugs

    Luv ya'

  10. We can't believe you guys don't have power yet. There still are some areas around us that don't have power either. But honestly, with all this snow and cold we're getting, we're surprised you haven't checked into the local Holiday Inn. ;) We sure hope DTE is right and you get power tonight.

  16. We have been watching from afar - no electrons whizzing round the circuits. Pöh. At least you are fed and watered, and not suffering. Except for the kibble torture - bad luck there Chucky.

  17. Brrr... 15 degrees is cold! As I guess you know all too well. Hope you don't have to keep heating those pots much longer.

  18. I hope you have power and all is good. and Jack feels for you and the lack of kibble.. he still wants it after all these years. It is so addicting.. it's not even funny
