The top left canine has been broken since I got him in 2001- somewhere in his sorrowful past he had the ... http://icanhaspnutbutr.com/2008/07/10/wcb-mr-toofless/ Transformations all around this past week: Spring finally gave way to Summer, and just in time Harmon went in and had his annual shave. The poor guy had looked so miserable that first day the temperature soared to near 90F, and his glee could not be contained two days later ... http://icanhaspnutbutr.com/2008/06/28/wcb-lookin-good/ Nothing too exciting has been going on with the cats these days, unless you count Bustopher's 'Night of Terror' earlier this week.

Now if only we opened that jar just once each day it would be a lot easier to deal with him! Weekend Cat Blogging is being held over at Chey's Place. It's Springtime! ... http://icanhaspnutbutr.com/2008/05/17/wcb-no-need-for-words/ The weather has been cool but decent and it's keeping the cats busy, hence the lack of visibility here.

These soft furry mice caught my eye on the recent jaunt for cat food. Given Bustopher's admiration of all things mouse-like, I thought these would be awesome.

Those mice....they are so stinkin' cute! ... http://icanhaspnutbutr.com/2008/04/25/wcb-new-toys-or-best-friends/ Harmon has this fixated need for food; he does weigh around the 20# mark, big guy that he is, but he seems to want to eat everything without so much as a fraction of thought as to what it is or how it might taste. He has snatched peas off ... http://icanhaspnutbutr.com/2008/04/18/he-chosepoorly/ After sitting through much more sad face at yet another Spring snowstorm, it looks like the weather has warmed to much more acceptable levels. Bustopher is manic about being able to get outside, and we have occasionally let him in the front door only to watch him circumnavigate the kitchen ... http://icanhaspnutbutr.com/2008/04/15/whewbeen-a-while/ The birds have returned in force now that the weather is nice, brought out by the promise of seed at the backyard feeders.
