The front porch |
It was pouring buckets of rain when I got up this morning. Weather like this makes me wonder: should I run out now with food for Patty O'Malley and Sweetie, as I do most every day...or wait, to see if the rain slows or stops in a little while? Today, I decided to pour kibble out, and run it to the backyard for them. However, Patty was already on the front porch, and he was soaked*!
Once I was finished with my food delivery, the resulting foot- and paw-prints on the porch amused me. The Hubby was out in the rain too, since it's trash-pickup day.
*I've noticed that Patty is scratching a bit, so it's time for a flea and tick preventative treatment. I really dislike putting chemicals on him, however any holistic remedy that I've tried has been ineffective. Yesterday, I was ready to squeeze the little vial of DIE-BUG-DIE stuff on him, but somehow got distracted and did not do it. Glad that I didn't, because it would have all washed off of him in the morning rain! Why was he out in the rain, anyhow? My silly Patty!

ReplyDeleteMaybe Patty thought a little rain water would make for a good bath!
ReplyDeleteNice collection of footprints and a very sweet selfie.
ReplyDeleteWe love the footprints!! That Patty is just such a lovebug!
ReplyDeleteFunny how something as simple as footprints can be so amusing. I'm not a big fan of chemicals either, but flea control a few time a year is the lesser of two evils. I'm a fan of the older drugs like Advantage. Raven has had adverse reactions to two of the newer flea controls (1 topical, 1 oral). And I'm not a fan of the new 6-month pills or shots.
ReplyDeleteI just ran across an article by Dr. Plotnick (one of my favorite cat vet bloggers) about flea control. I thought you might be interested. http://catexpert.blogspot.com/2017/04/fleas-and-flea-control-in-cats.html
