The Furminator

After weeks of constant hairballs, we finally broke down and bought a Furmintor - touted to be the best brush for reducing shedding AND hairballs in cats. Because I'm thrifty I bought it on Ebay for about half the retail price. It arrived today and the package was sitting on the kitchen table. Ben said to me "Let's try this on YOUR hair!". Oh, I died laughing.

After putting Maggie to bed, we closed the cat up in the bathroom to test out the brush (better to contain flying fur!) We were all quite pleased - Ben, Me AND Alley! I managed to get a little video if you want to see for yourself. If you turn up the volume you can hear Alley's purr of satisfaction.

This resulting pile of fur is the result of about 10 minutes of brushing.

Let the Good Times Roll!

Here on the Gulf Coast, Mardi Gras is a pretty big deal - especially where we live! You may not realize this, but our town is the home of Mardi Gras - we had it even before New Orleans and the locals here take great pride in that. When my neighbor learned that we would not be attending any parades here, she brought over a bunch of beads for Maggie! We've had fun playing dressup today. . . .

Maggie's First Prayer!

Tonight we were reading a book called "Thank You God". We were looking at a page that talked about the food we can thank God for and Maggie spied a cup, which she assumed must contain MILK! So she folded her hands and said "Thank you Milk. Amen."

Ok, so it sounded more like "dah dou mauk. aen." but I knew what she meant.

I was SO PROUD! :0)
