Saturday Snicker: Rocky da Brave vs Cali





 You know the expression “enough is enough”? Well I have had enough of Cali’s rude behavior. 
She opened the cabinet where Mom stores Christmas decorations, so I went in for a quick peek. 
When Cali saw me she got snippy with me! It took all the courage I have, but I finally stood up for myself! 😹



❤️Rocky





Dearest Rocky sometimes a guy just has to 'stand up for himself'.  I loved x 100 your Meerkat pose too.  Well done
Cali is such a tease.

River Otters Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium

Staff Welcomed Two Otter Brothers, Pee Dee and Rocky a few years ago.

Pine Knoll Shores, N.C. — Two new North American river otters, Pee Dee and Rocky, will add additional adorable antics to the North American River Otter habitat at the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. 

The two, 9-month-old otters, both male, come from a litter of otter pups born at Milwaukee County Zoo in Milwaukee, WI as part of the Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) Species Survival Plan®(SSP) Program. Their mother and a sister are both still at Milwaukee County Zoo.

Both Pee Dee and Rocky are named after North Carolina rivers and will share a space with the Aquarium’s current otters, Eno the oldest otter (17y.o.) 

I recall from the tour that Eno always floats on his back
The bubbles you see are coming from their under coat as they swim

Thoroughly Thankful Poetic Thursday#194


 Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats


Angel Sammy/Pam mentioned they had given us a ballet picture years ago...

They did in 2018  Madi wrote the poem.  I repeat the poem today and this time I have the real photo.

 Tiny Dancer

by Madi(son) D Cat

When sissy was wee, around about three 
she told mom a tiny dancer I want to be.
She dreamed of tutu's and ballet shoes.
On her toes she wanted to stand. 
There were no classes for girls under four.
Within a few months Mom looked some more.
She found a dancing class with an open door.
Sissy's smile of glee brightened the room
As she danced and twirled and learned to "*plies and push the floor away"
*is heels touching and toes pointing out
She learned poise and posture life's lessons galore.

Sis of Angel Madi 

Note Mom:
The teacher was just the best she had all kinds of phrases that helped the younger children learn steps...one I remember, 
"pliés and push the floor away"  





Thankful to you all for you lovely birthday wishes!!
Especially THANKFUL to  my sweet hubby took his first journey out of the house (since the Crud jumped on us). He went to Hallmark for our Traditional Bday treat.
