Quiet Time

Uschi is trying to get some quiet time on the floor.

That's not as easy as it sounds.

Pink Playground

Uschi is happily snoozing on his pink blanket, but he's about
to be dislodged by his frolicking brothers.

What 'cha got under there Tanji?

Nooothing.

Vladi's Garden

Besides a few tomato pots, most of our gardening this summer

has been building Vladi's flowered fabric collection.

The bright colors and patterns are cheerful...

Vladi likes the way the super-soft fabrics feel under his

toes and belly.


V travels from one blanket/towel to the next, surveying his domain.

Usually there is a great deal of discussion about this.

Vladi now has too many goodies to protect, so when he leaves...

Tanji slips in, he likes soft things too.

Enough photos, I'm busy here!

Beach Towel

Vladi's little dagger-nails can penetrate right through our throw blankets

when he is kneading them with us underneath, so we now have a

protective beach towel layer (also clearance Vera Bradley).

For some reason beach towel = cleaning station to V-man.

He'd much rather someone else licked him, there is fine glittery

fur flying everywhere.

Would you like to lick me?

How about you?

Here comes a sucker-fish, I mean Tanji.

T can't resist cleaning the dirty baby-cat.

(V is "helping" by sticking out his tongue)

Happy Daylight Savings/Gutter Test Day

We woke this morning to

A pile of feathers at the head of the bed,...
(and a dead bird, we don't know who's gift it was)

Breakfast time!!

I'm sleeping in today,...
(U found a cave in a pile of "clean" towels)

The rain

Started coming down.

The shed stayed dry,... and

Bright,...

The 175ft of gutters, all draining back to a single downspout.

Worked well,...

Refilling the pond in just a few minutes.

Back inside,...

Vladi watches for birdies visiting the kennel.

Occasionally, birds visit the kennel.
The vast majority wisely leave quickly.

Clean Towels

Both Vladi and Uschi love to curl up on clean towels.

Soon after the towels are piled on top of the drier,
our rosetted boy or swirl boy have a comfy place to sleep.

Vladi has such a big smile, we let him enjoy his nest.

Of course the boys track in mud and more from their kennel,
so often the towels end up right back in the wash.

This towel is kind of stinky, someone should wash these.

Sweetie Pie

Adore me!

Vladi is a real sweetie, especially when he wakes up.
As soon as his eyes open, the motor kicks in
(Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)
and he is a kneading rolling machine.

First his eyes open...

and he starts rolling around.

Who can resist him?

Not us!!

Tanjiro

I'm Tanjiro (Tan-jîr'-o)

I'm a brown spotted Bengal boy,

who loves to sleep

on towels, and also

with my brother Uschi.

My silky smooth fur is short and
"dripping with glitter."

I like my mom.

She snuggles me,...

and pets me.

More pets please,...

I like to sleep on the sectional,

and ottoman,...

Mooom, I'm trying to sleep here.

aaaaa,... that's better,...

Now, I'm ready to play,...
