Ahem

Our Thankful Thursday

1. Someone...*ahem*...lost their keys while out on a neighborhood walk.

It was hot and very muggy, yet the look on The Hubby's face when I told him I'd lost my keys galvanized me into going back out to retrace my steps.

Then, I recalled that I'd stopped to snap pics of a new-to-me kitty, and my phone tracks where my photos are taken.

Beelining back; lo and behold!...there were my keys happily nestled in the lawn next to where Bruce Wayne came out to flirt with me.

Dodged a bullet, and am thankful for that.

Keys: front door key, back door key, barn/garage key, Cat Car key, and defense whistle.

2. After only a few mini-freakouts by someone...*ahem*...Henry received his first chemo capsule, and so far he seems to be fine.

There was concern about Henry's licks (he loves to lick my hands and arms), and he had a moment where he frothed at the mouth, but being careful to wash with soap and water, and using puppy pee pads have put everything to rights.

For a few days after a chemo treatment, the humans must avoid coming in contact with any excretions by the patient, hence wearing gloves when scooping the litter box, and washing/bleaching accidents. 

Chores for today: buy more nitrile gloves, and be thankful for this first step into helping Henry overcome his intestinal woes.

Henry will need a chemo pill every two weeks, for up to five months.

3. Someone...*ahem*...was in the tattoo chair yesterday, getting new ink.

The sea monster isn't very monstrous; rather a cutie pie!

Was thankful to be in an air-conditioned place, as our local temps were high, with high humidity.

Also, I managed to complete a long audiobook started on Tuesday, and an entire novella audiobook, while chatting away to the ink artist, and all of the other artists who had to visit to see what we've cooked up this time.

Will show the other art, once they've healed.

Let's Hop!

What's in a Name

It's Twozday!

Living With Loulou has asked for the origin of Da Boyz's names.
The answer is rather simple:

They were named Batman and Bruce Wayne when we adopted them.

Those names didn't match up with our knowledge of their purrsonalities, but we didn't know if they were names added by the rescue, or the names given them by their former owners.

We morphed Batman into Manny.

Bruce Wayne became Chili Bruce Lee:

Chili: after Chili Palmer character in the film "Get Shorty".

Bruce: from Bruce Wayne, Batman's alter ego.

Lee: after martial artist Bruce Lee.

The Hubby claims to have completely dropped both Bruce and Lee, while I'm more often calling him CB, Chills, or Brown Bear.

Manny is shortened to Mans, or lengthened to Manfred.

No matter their names, they are WONDERFUL!

Underneath and Behind

It's Twozday!

Over the holiday break, I spent much time being a human cat bed.

You cannot see me in these photos, because I am under the blanket!

The story behind Da Boyz' names

Da Boyz were called 'Spiderman' and 'Bruce Wayne' by the adoption agency.

'Spiderman' became Manny; easy enough.

'Bruce Wayne' morphed into Chili Bruce Lee.

Chili: From the character Chili Palmer in the film, "Get Shorty"

Bruce: From his adopted name.

Lee: From actor and martial arts guru, Bruce Lee.
