Weekend Open Thread

Is there any better sight on a Caturday morning than a well-tousled kitten belleh? Give our friend here a hearty rub and then talk amongst yourselves.

A kitten with orange and white fur lies on its back, exposing its belly.
I’ll give you a topic: bellehs. Discuss.

    Happy Caturday!

    These are the little goobers I am babysitting. And no, they did not want to go out (it was pouring rain at the time; they eventually had to suck it up and get wet because theyโ€™d been home alone for about 12 hours at that point). The black-and-tan is Max and the blond is Ollie.

      ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ They are beyond adorable!!! I had a dog that would go almost 24 hours without peeing during thunderstorms in FL. They can be stubborn lil cusses sometimes.

        Max went about a foot out the door (onto the covered deck) then turned around and came right back in. Ollie just stood in the kitchen and stared at me. They have pee pads but apparently only Ollie will use them (which he did after a bit). When the rain let up a little I got them both out.

    A day in the life of Javier, CEO of WeRateDogs.

    Who are you calling ridiculous? Also, maybe grab a tissue.

      Yep, tissues needed for this episode. Be warned about the honorable mention, and #1. But some of them are pretty darn funny so it balances out. Plus a day in the life of Javier is hysterical, I swear in my next life I want to come back as a pampered dog or cat.

        Heโ€™s not sleeping on the job, heโ€™s brainstorming.

    Oooh look at that belly! So soft, so skritchable, so huffable. But that face says, yeah, try it. Wonder if it’s a trap, hmmm?

    Well, after a couple months of summer where the weather was tolerable, Mother Nature has decided to crank up the temperature knob to sizzling. I’m looking at a week of temps in the 90s and humid. Guess the a/c is going on so the house doesn’t become an oven. I usually hate putting the a/c on when no one is home but it’s more efficient to keep it at a cool temp when you start cool then try to bring a 87 degree house down to 78 degrees. So not much happening this weekend. Vitamin shots this morning, and maybe some thrift store shopping. Tomorrow is a craft workshop at the museum, and we’re making copper bowls. I’ll be happy if mine has any resemblance to a circle, lol. Somewhere in there, I got to figure about meals for next week, and do grocery shopping. Then I think majority of my time will be in the pool. Have a good weekend all!!

      After the heavy rain the other day itโ€™s been nice. Yesterday was in the low 80s and sunny, and right now itโ€™s 70 and cloudy (more rain coming this weekend, probably). Todayโ€™s forecast high is 78.
