Golden Retriever Cake Art

If it is Saturday, we are having fun with 

Caturday Art with Athena

However, what we have to show you is really Doggy Art

Mom loves the new CMT talk show Pickler and Ben.  It airs at 9 am each morning 5 days a week.  Mom has the DVR set to tape series so she can watch them at night.

If you haven't watched it, mom says the show is funny and full of surprise guests and just all around great TV.  Recently she watched an episode that featured

Natalie and David Sideserf.

click on their names above to see more of their creations.

David is the baker and Natalie is the cake artist

David also comes up with delicious flavors of cakes to compliment each cake.

Mom nearly fell out of her chair when she saw this beautiful

Golden Retriever Puppy Cake Playing in snow

Every bit of the cake is edible

 The puppy has lots of chocolate in it

 The snow is coconut with yellow cake under it
Kelly and Ben asked Natalie if it upset her to see her creations eaten
she said no that is the best part.

I got a NEW Condo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I am beyond excited, elated and full of feline glee

I hired a most famous interior designer to decorate it for me

 Ceal's Cat Condo Creations

I  have a living roof which is beautiful and also makes it very quiet.
I sleep like a princess

Thoroughly Poetic Pictoria and Thankful Thursday

Today we join Two  SPOILED CAT 

Angel Sammy and Teddy for their poetic pictorial poem.

First of all we wanted to tell Angel Sammy and TeddyButterbean and Mom

thank you for this photo.  My mom is a huge fan of hot air balloons from the ground.

When in a gift shop she is drawn to all things cat like, hot air balloons and hummingbirds.

As you will see at the end..... 

Up up and away
I love balloons they give me the happies and make
me act like a baboon.
Mylar, rubber or cloth they all tickle my fancy.
They delight my senses as they rise and float.
To spot a hot air balloon sends my eyes skyward 
The places and things that one could see make my mind's eye 
full of excitement.
If given an chance to float in the sky, I would say no not I.
My spirit is free and ready to fly
My head is not willing and my legs are like jelly.
I must confess this old gal has two fears 
One is fire and I am extremely height shy!
So content I will be to gaze up with envy as those graceful balloons are 
given flight by fire that makes them soar to heights I don't care for.

This rainbow hot air balloon hang above my tunnels

Mom says it is very authentic it even has weights on it and we love the basket

My hot air balloon wind sock

Today we join

I'm very thankful to be able to report that my blood work to recheck my kidney function was
on January 12, 2018
All of the levels of concern, Creatine and phosphorus are down.  My wonderful Vet, Dr. Szabo was very very pleased.
We will continue on as we have been doing with the phosphorus binder and the
SubQ fluids.  I don't have to visit Tech Dracula for at least 3 or 4 months.

We are also thankful it is gonna be 60 degrees this weekend...
Video from our snow event on Wednesday.
We had no wind but a huge limb fell just missing our back lantern

Last photos before dark 1/17/18
Most snow we've had in a day in many years.
~5" and still snowing at dark.
We rarely have 5" in an entire year
