~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[dill]

Late check in for me here this morning. And I was surprised to see that I did not check in yesterday! The reason I was so surprised is because I wrote a post. I remember very clearly writing it. But I must have forgotten to press the magic "Post Reply" button! LOL! Lucky for me the contents were still there and all I had to do was click on the "restore" button at the top of the message window. So, for today, let's all have another 24!

And here is what I thought I posted yesterday:


Cowboy and Mul, I'm sorry you both seem to be having really rotten weather so far. Sure hope it lightens up for you.

Rava, I think you and I are having the same weather. Very windy here and yesterday's rain turned to snow. But just a trace. We're supposed to be in for a warm up in the next few days. I hope that comes your way!

Jude, glad Peanut came through her surgery so well. It is amazing how well they do.

Ginger, I still give Lily and Pumpkin supervised time together, usually with Lily on leash, but sometimes I let her off leash if she is showing a calm demeanor. I have not given up on getting them to be friends, but I did take a break during the summer. They are able to be around each other for about 10-15 minutes without a major incident! I try to end our sessions without any dustups having happened. I do it in a small room where the cat feels comfortable. and there's no place for the cat to take off running, so the dog isn't given the opportunity to chase. Slow going, but there is progress. Kinda like your knee.... I'm sure your knee will heal up LOOOONG before Lily and Pumpkin become friends!

Not today.

Sadly the older we get the more common this becomes.

My mom and I were just talking about this the other day, how at her age too often news from long lost friends and relatives is about them passing away. A sad fact of life.

We've now gone from storms, back to just normal rain. Beggars can't be choosers I guess. Yesterday, I even said "screw it" and got a short hike in, anyways.

Can't believe we're only a few days from christmas now, it sneaks up on you so fast.

Yes Mul, I agree that Christmas really does sneak up on you. I've got all of my shopping done, now all that I need is the motivation to wrap the presents.

Dill, it sounds like you are doing a good job trying to get Lily and Pumpkin to get along. I know that it takes a lot of patience and time, but it sounds as though you are making progress.

Cowboy, so far this year we have had 41 inches of snow, but the heavy rain that we had the other has melted most of it. It's definitely early in the season to have this much snow and I wonder how much we will get by the end of winter.

Waves to Rava and Ginger!

24 more please...

5:15am in Alberta, 24 for me and everyone else who needs them please, and thanks...

In the last 24 hours, these friends have joined in for 24 hours of wellness:

Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

Time for some breakfast I think...

[abcowboy]

You might eventually get Lily and Pumpkin to put up with each other dill, not sure if you'll ever get them to be friends though lol.

Our weather has settled a bit as well Mulburry, bitter cold for Christmas as usual with just a bit of snow in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow.

Wow, that's a lot of snow Jude! We'd never be able to handle that much snow without loading and trucking it somewhere. We do need snow for the moisture, but not 4 feet of it!

The fellow with the skid steer was here yesterday and pushed the snowbanks into the middle of the lawn, so hopefully I'll have room to shovel now for the rest of the winter.

Waves to Ginger and Rava...

[Rava]

Good morning! Wow that is some snow Cowboy. Glad your friend had a little bobcat to help move some of that. I just cant imagine. No snow here just cold and wind. I am gonna make scrapple this morning. Thin and crispy. I cannot find it in Florida so we make up for it when we come north. Hope everyone has a great and sober day. Preparing myself for the week of not drinking while everyone else over indulges. UGH.

[Ginger999]

Dill, I'm glad those two furbabies are still tolerating each other! Dogs are funny people. Some have such a strong "cat" instinct they just can't get past it. Cyrus has slapped a few of them around here, when they've stuck their noses too close to his stroller. Lol

ABC, yummy breakfast as usual! That little Cat makes short work of pushing that snow, eh?

Rava, how are you feeling? Hi Jude, HI Mul!

I'll take another day of freedom!
