Betty has something to show you 😺
“Good morning! What lovely flowers we have in this planter!”
Yes, Betty, they’re almost as lovely as you.
Anyway, I can’t eat until Stormy, Rose and RC come in:
Watch out, Patches, don’t get run over! Rose and Stormy are starting to stampede!
Finally, they're in. . . 🐎
Let’s eat! 🐴
Security Chief Onslow on patrol! 😺
Good morning! As usual, I’m cleaning up RC’s “sprinkles” with Stormy (or Rose, depending who gets there first):
Don’t ask me how you got over the fence, Frizzle—ask your wings:
Speaking of chickens, they’ve been making a nesting box out of our hay cart:
Anyway, down by the creek, the recent storm blew a branch on the fence:
Never fear, Chief Onslow has assessed the damage, and reported it to the cat-cops:
The DHS (Department of Horsefarm Security) never sleeps! 😺
We are nature’s lawn mowers (2 videos) 🐴
Good morning! Yesterday I told you I was feeling better and no longer confined to the run. Well, last night I discovered I still have to spend the night’s here, so I don’t do any midnight snacking:
But it’s no big deal, I’m let right out after breakfast. . .and have a scratch:
And a minute later, I’m back out on the grass:
Note how short we keep the grass. Who needs a lawnmower? 🐎
I’m out and about! 🐴
Good morning! I’ve got an extra big smile for you. . !
My hooves don’t hurt, and I’ve finally been let out of the run (my head’s hanging down because I’m thinking about rolling):
I’m sure I’ll be kept an eye on. As we get into summer, the grass will become less sugary and we’ll all be in less danger of getting sick:
It’s too cool and too early in the morning to keep out of the sun, Patrick—or is it because, under that chair, the hawks can’t see you:
Other than that, is there anything good on TV, Tyrus?
“No. . .I’m just channel-surfing.” 😺
A smile from Betty! 😺
“Good morning! Francis said I should put on my best kitty smile for YOU! I’ve heard he’s feeling better and will be let out tomorrow.”
That’s true, Betty. I’m walking ok, and my poopies are firmer!
“The firmness of your poopies might have been a little too much information, Francis.”
“I agree, Rose. You’d never hear cats discussing their poopies.”
“You kitties have a hangup about poopies, Onslow. We always see you guys burying yours. Don’t you agree, RC?”
“I agree you should get your head off my back, Stormy. I know it’s a sign of mutual comfort and trust, but I want to get out to the pasture and start grazing.” 🐎
Kitty Capers and Doggie Doings! 🐴 (video 😺)
Good morning! My feet feel much better, so I only have a day or two more in the run. But that hasn’t stopped me from finding news for YOU! ❤️
Aren’t these pretty violets?
And here is Dukie, in Farmer Rich’s hay field, way down by the Hennepin Canal. She and Ann had quite a hike yesterday:
And what’s this? Is Tyrus lapping water off Greg’s head?
Let’s check out the video to be sure:
I think, for the indoor cats, running water is quite the entertainment. 😺
Rainy day, but I’m staying dry (video) 🐴
Good morning! It’s not too bad to be stuck in the run today. For one, it’s pouring and storming, with scary lightning 😿:
Also, Stormy can’t get to my breakfast:
And neither can Rose:
As you know from yesterday’s post, my ankles have been hurting, so keeping people from “helping” with my food is especially important, since I also have been able to eat all my medicine! 😺
Let’s watch Rose trying to get to my dish:
When the rain lets up, Rose, go out in the far pasture and eat some grass for me! 🐴
Guess who’s on lockdown now! 🐴 (and a Dukie YouTube)
“Good morning. You’re welcome to a bit of my breakfast (if you like canned chicken Little Friskies):”
Thanks, Buttons, I think we’ll pass on the cat food:
As you’ve noticed, I’m in the run this morning. Like Rose (who is better now), I’ve eaten too much sweet spring grass, and am foundering (my ankles hurt):
I’ll just need a few days away from the pasture, with just my regular feed and some hay, and some pain medicine. 🐴
Anyway, here’s our latest YouTube in case you missed it:
Happiness is a wet Dukie! 😺
With lots of visitors come lots of fun! 🐴
“Good morning, everyone!”
”I don’t think anyone can see us, Greg.”
“Yes, they probably can’t see us very well, Tyrus. We’re having to spend the day in the back room. . .”
“Because the house is full of doggies!”
And as everyone knows, when so many dogs are here, so are our Mary ❤️ and Mara ❤️!
That means Rose will get a ride. . !
And so will Stormy!
Lots o’ fun! 🐎
No one will be cuddling YOU today, Luna! 🙀
Good morning!
From my feed dish, you can tell we had rain overnight. . .
And it looks like more is on the way:
This teeny-tiny moth has a never teenier spider on it:
Now here’s something I haven’t seen before:
Goodness, Luna. . !
Those poopies are a little too fresh to be walking on. Please don't hop up on me anytime soon! 🐴
