Our current situation

And I woke up to this:

Thelma and Louise

Sugar and Spice

 

[limr41 11]

Bert and Ernie.

Dissun and Dattun

Well. It's Sage and Rose. So there. I tend to gravitate towards one-syllable names for kitties. I think about vowels and getting them to associate their names in that way.

And - right now, we're still telling each other that we're fostering. The vet said he may have a lead on someone who's interested in adopting them. We'll see if that goes anywhere.

Still keeping them separated from Bex and Finn. Bex caught a glimpse into the bathroom this morning, and yowled her typical "intruder alert" yowl, usually reserved for neighborhood cats she sees crossing our yard. This also gives us pause. Finn was a stray, and Bex came from an animal shelter in Texas. I really don't want to upset them. We're kind of gripping.

Taking it a day at a time for now. They're on medication, and go back to the vet in 2 weeks. In the meantime, I have a couple new pics of the cuteness. These were taken shortly after their baths, so they're clean and fluffy, with a lot fewer fleas.

Checking out new (to them) toys. Sage is in the rear - it's that white spot that's shaped like a leaf that helped me name her.

Here's Rose, in focus. Their eyes are so much better already from the ointment!

Playing:

And playing!

Not often you see a female ginger cat
As for names.... for animals cats ,dogs, husbands
It got to be something you can stand at the door and call.

Good morning. My experience has been that you don't bother calling a cat. If they want to come to you, they will, without being called. If they don't want to bothered with you, no amount of calling will work.

I just finished a small bowl of MLW's chili and now it's time for coffee. MLW is returning to work next week and needs to go to the office, so we have to take her boxes back up. She's been transferred (back) to the Emergency Operations Command, so we pulled all of her stuff out a while back.

Happy Halloween to all those who partake! Gonna be a chilly night in these parts for all those Trick or Treaters. Be safe, all!

Our daughter had a good time trick-or-treating. After the first three stops, she wanted to "go home and eat the candy". It ended when a neighbor dressed as a witch scared her.

We bought a Sesame Street Lego set for her for either her birthday or Christmas. Can't figure out which, but I'm excited to help her build it. She's still a little too young for it, but we're going to make it work.

Day 2 of 14 day quarantine in my new country (for next couple of years anyway).

COVID test came back negative today, so either the quarantine or the test is pointless.

I took my nephew out one year when he was about 3 or 4 dressed as a Dalmatian and sone nutty neighbor was dressed as Cruella and scared him so much we had to take him home.

The test is pointless if you’re going to quarantine.

Where are you, now?

We are going to Maine next week to pick up things in storage. The last trip we were able to fly in, pack up the rental van with most of Lazy Lobster's things, and drive back the same day. This time we have a definite time to be at the Moving and Storage place (they will be out on a job in the late morning) so we are going in on Friday, staying overnight. Because we are staying a day, we have to get the rapid return test (Maine law).

When we return back home, we will be in quarantine for 14 days, since we travelled out of state (Maryland law). I am on full telecommute, so it is no real change.

Mine was an international trip. But there's no logic to anything to do with COVID. In reality, it's how people behave that matters, not lockdowns and quarantines.
