Heavy Weight

One of Lesley's Christmas gifts
was a new set of dumbells, weights that is.
They are pretty nice with a rubberized grip
and hexagonal (no rolling) rubberized "bells."

Uschi took an immediate interest in them.

hmmm, these smell good,...

Lets start with a set at 10lbs,...

Grrrrrr

Tanj,... what are you doing!!!???

I'm trying to workout here,...

If one 10 pounder is good,

maybe the other is also.

Yup,... it is yummy.

Soon,... Lesley's new mat requires sampling,...

USCHI! No,...

Whattt evveerrrrrr,...

Fine, one more set at 15lbs.

Thats enough for today.

Every,... EVERY single morning at 6am sharp our "T-larm" goes off,... no matter how dark or light it is outside, it is like clockwork. "burrrpeellll,... BurrrpelllLLL,.... BURRRPELLL!!" echoes though our one room house. The sounds of little feet ripping around, jumping onto the sectional, off of the sectional, onto the section, off of the sectional,... then gallop, gallop, gallop across the room,... "BuurpeLLLLL!" fill the air. We all (Uschi included) try to play dead. We literally keep our heads down, eyes closed and try not to move a muscle,... Uschi is funny about it,... he keeps his head down and will not open his eyes, even if Tanj jumps on him. None of us want to encourage him, or let him know we are awake. But he knows,....
HE KNOWS! If you raise your head and look over the head of the bed, this is what you see,...

I don't know if you heard me,...
I'm up,...

Eye contact made,... it is

time to visit,...

Duuuundaaaa,... Duuundaaaa,...
Duundaa,.. Dunda,. Dunda
(Jaws sound)

Aaaaaaaa! (screaming sounds)

T-Tail is spotted
going back and forth next to the bed.

Hhhhhhiiii,
I thought you might be missing me,...

Moooom,... aren't you up yet,...

Now it is time

to walk around on the bed,...

in search of

exposed fleece blanket.

What is this under the comforter?

T loves fleece blankets,

and instantly starts purring while
kneading, making T-biscuits.

I like the morning,...

Fine,... if you won't get up,...

I'll go back to sleep.

Who Needs Feathers!?

Recently, the boys exuberant play, broke our last, in-stock, DaBird. The metal swivel snapped right in two. The boys wanted more play so we tied on one of their "Petstages Kitty Treat Pocket Cat Toys" thinking,... they won't go for this,... Well, that toy is now more exciting than the restocked DaBirds. Given the two as options,... they go for the treat pocket.
