Would We Do That? (Feline Friday) and Friendly Fill-Ins

 ***********************************






Feline Friday was started by Steve, The Burnt Food Dude, and i'm going to believe it's because he likes cats.

He has handed hosting duties off to Sandee, of Comedy Plus, and it's simple to join, just follow the link to Sandee's page for the rules and the code.


Some kittens like to turn over their water.   The new remedy is to clip the water bowl ring to the cage.




Do these sweet littles look like they'd need a precaution like that?









***********************************






Friendly Fill-Ins are easy to do. There are four statements: the first two statements are provided by Ellen of 15AndMeowing, and the final two are offered by Lorianne The Menagerie Mom of Four-Legged Furballs. They try to make sure the statements will be fun to both answer and share. The linky will be posted at or about 12:00 AM on Friday. Please head over to one of their sites, link up, and share your thoughts!      


Here are this week's statements with my responses underlined:


1. Every July, I _________.


2. I could be Snow White's 8th dwarf named _________.


3. I could use some _________ right about now.


4. I would like to start my own _________ business.



1. Every July, I   look forward to celebrating #1 Son's birthday.


2. I could be Snow White's 8th dwarf named     Late.  Speaking of which, i'm behind on blog reading again, i'll catch up as soon as i can, thanks for being patient.


3. I could use some   extra hours in the day  right about now.


4. I would like to start my own _________ business.   Actually, i do own my own business, cleaning and janitorial work.  If i could do it over, i'd start a business that's not so labor intensive and hard on me.

  3. Sweet little kittens! Eric didn't turn his water bowl over but liked to scrape all the water out across the kitchen floor. For that reason we had to turn the fountain off at night so the motor didn't burn out when he emptied it.

  7. Kittens are indeed sweet and yes we still need to nail things down to keep them safe :D

    Old Crafts Day - I do indeed have a bunch of crafts started and not finished, some not even started. But I can't take care of them today because "one thing I could use more of" is (just like you) more hours in the day! Your business is very hard on the body; I wish you didn't have to work so hard.
