SomeCat knows this is his holiday!

Grilled

 

On what might be the last nice day until May, Doug decided to put our new grill together. 

This one seemed to need less assembly than our old one which took most of a cold December day to put together in 2000. 

The Vikings were on the radio, there was a man wearing a flannel shirt in the garage… it seemed like someone should be drinking a Miller Lite in this situation.  Since Doug is still getting over an illness, he stuck with a bubbly water instead.

T.Wheel got a chance to “wear” a costume too.  Next time I will not buy “extra-small” sized dog costumes. 

The grill went together in the time it took the Vikings to win one today.  (This might be just the turnaround they need, Christoph).

The finished product.

All the cats went on a short adventure outside today. 

Who doesn’t love a beautiful fall day! 

Tailwheel has been a good houseguest.  He’ll go home tomorrow but hopefully he’ll be back this winter!

This just happened

This is what happens when costumes are 75% off at Petsmart.

Leaf Explosion

Somehow we went from having no leaves on the ground on Thursday afternoon to lots of leaves on the ground by Friday morning. 

My helpful assistant and I went outside to inspect (him) and rake (me) the leaves. The weather is really beautiful.  It’s a shame that both of the humans in this house have been sick for the past few days. 

When the sickness hits, the cats are called on for special assignments.  They are required to check on our well-being every few minutes, hold the blankets in place using their own bodyweight and (apparently) serve as a TV Remote holder.

They have been exhibiting lion-like pride behavior lately. 

 

At some point, it usually turns into a good wrestling match.  Just like typical brothers.
