B R U S H: 
n. instrument with bristles


I absolutely adore being brushed....and mom is purrty good at it too

This is my brush every night just before bedtime
I sashay into the family room....park my tush
in front of the table by the couch.  Mom keeps my
brush in the drawer.  She jumps up lickety split finally
rouses from her comfy seat to give me my nightly brushing.
 Many of you will remember Angel Remington, the gentle Newfie, who addressed everyone as
'My friend'!
His mom, Beth, and my mom were buddies. Beth was an expert at spinning yard.  In 2010 Beth asked mom to start saving my furs after she brushed me.  Mom sent her a zip lock bag of my furs every few months.  After about 9 months of steady brushing, I thought I would be furlessBeth told mom she had enough of my furs to spin.
She added some of Remington's longer furs to my fur to make it spin better.  Beth spun 70 yards of our furs to send to mom.
The blue arrows mark the rows of our spun furs.
Mom had enough to put one row of our furs in a mini
afghan she made for me and two rows of our furs in a 
scarf she made for herself.
The afghan and scarf are very much treasured keepsakes.

My friend

B R U S H: 
 a brief encounter
 We lost huge limbs out of 3 pine trees during the storm
on Wednesday night.  All 3 tree are loop sided and will need to come down.

Thanks to Jakey Dory's Bro giving a lesson in Pizap....
I was able to go out into the snow....

This was mom's first attempt at adding me to different scenes.
I hope she takes me to the beach next time so I can go fishing.

The photo below is my snow scene with enhancements from my buddy
We both thought this looked like a scene from Dr. Zhivago
minus the 21st century conveniences.

  1. How cool is that, that your human got to make a scarf and an afghan that included yarn made out of your fur! I bet lots of humans wish they had yarn from their cats.

  5. I LOVE to be brushed.......I pop up on Mom's lap several times a day hoping to see THE BRUSH and Mom always comes through. Glad you had some fun with Pizap - it's my "method of choice" to jazz up stuff especially for Scouts!! I think it's totally fabulous that your furs are in those afghans.....that is MAGIC. My Mom can barely sew on a button so knitting/crocheting and embroidery are definitely OUT OF THE QUESTION around my place!!!!! Stay cozy.

    Hugs, Sammy

  6. Crikey ...... that was some storm you had. I'm glad you are safe. Stay warm, aye? It looks awful cold at your place. That afghan (isn't that a kind of dog?) and scarf with your furs is supa cool. No wonder they are treasured. My Mum's been learning pizap from Jakey too. She had some fun with it today.

  8. Oh goodness, that mini afgan is just terrific. How nice of Angel Remington's Mom to do that. Looking good in that snow Madi. You all have a super week end.

  9. I like it to have an original Madi-Afghan or a scarf, that's a super idea... sadly my fur is like eyelashes, not sure if we could use it :o)
    I just imagine Dr. Zhivago and Lara would really ride along in a sleigh... would they scream if the would see the modern cars and all that techie-stuff on the streets?

  10. I still miss Remington and mom Beth.. i had no idea hair could be spun, but i guess that makes sense since sheet fur is what they spin. this is really cool... you look great in the snow Madi, and i did not know we could cut out in pizap either. i only used it for frames and adding little stickers... so happy the limb did not brush the car.
