Nanny & I went to a hotel last night.  We had to get out of here.  I brought Pasquale & Peekaboo with us.  Peekaboo, of course, was scared.  Poor baby.  He hid for the longest time under the hotel bed.  Finally came out & hasn't left my side since.  Has to touch me.  Sleep by me.  Love on me.   Something.

He is just the sweetest little man.  I love him so much.

Week Two.

1. Make History banner i saw on the way from fort worth to lake charles the first weekend i moved down.  nothing out there.  just cows, horses & what not.  that was on a hill by the hwy.  i had to turn around & take a picture of it.  2. love classic cars & trucks.  that one still needs some work, but it's mostly redone.  i wouldn't mind restoring one like that.  except mine would be midnight blue or candy apple red.  3.  i have never been to a buc-ee's, so i don't know what it is.  but i always see signs from l.c. to fort worth for them.  that sign just hit me at the right time & i just thought it was funnier than it is.  i turned around on the interstate to get a pic of it.  i was in a billboard mood while moving.  4. mcdonalds, broad street, in lake charles.  a place that doesn't suprise me the people are inconsiderate enough to have to be told to get off the damn phone to order.  5. was still in a billboard mood.  6. i liked this one.  cute for a savings/investment company - i think that's what they are. *snicker*  7.  i HAD to chase that truck down to take a picture of the back of his window.  it made me laugh so hard.  i was speeding more than usual in houston to get a pic of it.  teehee!

 

Week Three.

 1. pretty rainbow.  2/3 were in little chenier @ geneva's.  4. just crossed into TX & at the TX welcome center is the "lone star" there.  5. peekaboo finally poked his head out to see where we were on our final leg of the last moving trip.  he usually stays hidden when in the car.  6/7 ah, pasquale......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i wish i could take more pictures of peekaboo, but truth be told, when i turn the camera on... he wakes up & runs to me most of the time.  or if he's doing something cute & i try to take a picture he quits being cute & runs to me ...  he loves his mommy... but damn boy, let me take a picture of you!    at least pasquale stays still most of the time.

my babies ... playin' in a chili's bag.

Do you have a pet? What kind of pet do you own, and why did you choose it?

you all know of my two children. 

 

 

why did i choose them?

 

i *decided* on cats over dogs because of mom.  mom loved dogs as well as cats (like me) but i wanted two old english mastiffs.  it isn't a good idea to have two 200 lb dogs that like to stand up, put their paws on you & love you with a fragile mother.  mastiffs are super gentle, but they love to be touching their owners to show love... & they could have easily knocked her down...  so, i decided on cats.

i origionally wanted two kittens from the same litter when i decided i wanted cats.  but it didn't turn out that way.  which, for me, was good.   i was sitting in pitt grill & the waitress that usually served us was wanting to know what i was hunting for in the paper.  i told her.  she said she had this kitten that was so sweet, but she had to get rid of it.  her 2 year old son would pick up lucy (that was her name before pasquale) around her neck & carry her around like that.  lucy, in turn, would scratch the hell out of her son to get away b/c he was strangling her.  lol  so i went & picked up the cat after she got off of work.  she was a frisky, sweet, playful thing.  still is.  hehe   she's VERY sweet when she wants to be.  ;)  but she's always sweet.  she loves to ride in the car.  when i grab for shoes, she runs to the door & starts meowing & begging.  breaks my heart when i can't take her.  she just wants to go!

now to find another kitten... i kept looking through the paper for another cat.  found one.  black & white.  female.  so, i went to pick her up after i got pasquale.  well...  the house was a shack.  windows were boarded up & there was crap all over the yard.  at least the grass was cut.  i gave mom my cell phone & said if i wasn't out in 5 minutes to call for help.  i don't know why i didn't just turn around.  i figured if i could rescue a kitty from this life it was a good thing i guess.  so i went in.  it was so dark in there.  he grabbed one of the black & white kittens & handed it to me.  it was a boy, not a girl.  but i decided to keep it.  he was shaking poor little thing.  just cuddled up to me.  so i thanked him & left.  when i got outside the kitten started to squirm as kittens do, so i picked him up to readjust him.  he was filthy.  why this suprised me i don't know.  i had dirt & junk on my shirt where he was before he moved.  so i went to petsmart, had him dipped & bathed.  there was a groomer that worked there that i have known since i was i the 4th grade.  she *loves* animals, so grooming & caring for them is her passion, not just a job.  so, susan took loving care with him.  after that was done we went home.  he never left my side.  i laid on the floor to play with them for hours & peekaboo just stayed either on me, or snuggled up to me.  he is the sweetest cat i have ever had.  i have no doubt that he was abused in some way at that guys house.  he's very scared of others.  but he loves his mommy.

so, they are my children.  i will love them forever.  they do pretty good around dogs, so when the time comes to adopt some mastiffs, things will go smoothly. 

 

my cats have 2 litter "boxes"  one is this big round dome thing & the other (since sometimes i'm not home for a week at a time) is this huge tub thingy that you would normally store stuff in.  the dome "box" is against the rectangular storage one.  well, peekaboo was darting from one side of the dome to the other.  just restless as all hell a few minutes ago.  crickets get in here (NO idea how - but they do) sometimes & they love to play with them.  so, i move the dome out of the way so he can retrieve his cricket.  the cricket is a very large spider.  as soon as i moved the dome peekaboo lunged, but i was quicker.  i grabbed him.  i wanted to make sure what i was seeing.  it was a wolf spider & usually they're kind of tiny (like the size of a nickle) when they're in your house.  this bad boy was the size of a .50 cent piece easily (length of legs included lol).  i was just frozen staring & trying to figure out how to let go of peekaboo - while keeping him away from the uber spider - to grab something to kill it with.  i tossed peekaboo on the couch (i was right by it so it was a soft throw) & before i could turn away to grab a shoe, case of water, or anything else in arms reach peekaboo was on it.  or at least going after it.  spidey was faster.  it went under the loveseat.  lovely.  so i moved the cases of water away from the loveseat, shoved the loveset forward, & it's gone.  no spider in sight.  cats befuddled & so am i.  ok... so, 2 options. 

1.) the spider is INSIDE THE DAMN LOVESEAT NOW - i will never sit on it again & i'm thinking of burning it.  

~OR~ 

2.) it ran the other way. 

the cats are by the "new opening" & i go where the loveseat hasn't really moved yet.  it's there.  out in the open.   i grabbed a case of water & plopped it on him.  now for my new dilema... how do i pick up the smashed spider w/o touching it, or w/o using something i don't want to throw away.  thank God for junk mail.   2 very thick envelopes & a careful balancing act later, the squished spider is in the trash! 

now, since peekaboo didn't witness the killing & didn't see me trash the spider he's still hunting for it.  poor baby. 

he has saved me from possible unknown horrors!!!  

i love peekaboo!
