Good Morning LL! 
(YUM! I Love coffee!), and Happy Sunday!
LL! It's is I, Elsa, Lil Bit, kitteh barista!, president and CEO of Coffee Cat! Life is GOOD! Lola and Bug are very busy resting.... after Lola's escapades yesterday they is mega tired... so. well. anyways. Coffee time! For today, I proudly offer Elsa's special 10 hour energy coffee, and triple shot espresso, beans from the heart of central Ethiopia. and for my mocha fans: Venti Quad orange and vanilla mocha, laced with orange swirls, topped with chocolate whip, garnished with orange zest, slivered vanilla beans and chocolate swirls....... SWEET! OH! No worries, a dollop of orange and vanilla and chocolate and caramel swirl ice cream, on top of a dollop of fudge, and a chocolate caramel drizzle.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... mega good! TJ's dunking cookies and Cronuts are along for the ride.
I hope everyone had a great Caturday. Mine was catch up day, and I did get alot done, bills, laundry,shopping, all the fun stuff! I also managed a couple of short walk/hike too, all local stuff. We had clouds in the morning, but by afternoon the sun was out, and it turned our to be a very nice afternoon. I think we reached 72, with sunny blues skies, and a very nice sunset. I really do enjoy that walk/hike. The trail is nice, follows a creek down to the shore (which was so pretty in the sun), and then one has the views of the San Juan Islands and the Olympic Mountains (also pretty in the sun!) It's a great place. It was nice to see that the torrential rains he had the other night didn't do too much damage to the trails. We always have runoff issues there, and while I could see where things had overflowed, the residual damage was very minimal. YAY!
Normalcy in MusketeerVille!
Bug had a trip to the vetty yesterday. When I went to scratch his head and chin in the morning I noticed his chin was a little rough, was oozing a little, so thought it best to take him and and make sure what I thought it was was actually what it was. YUPP! kitty acne! Great.... The vet ( a new one in the clinic, and I hope they keep him, as he was good, very personable and LISTENED to what I had to say) thought we could treat it topically with a cleanser. So... that is the plan. We will wait it out, see how Bug and his chin, responds. The vet also gave him a thorough once over. All is well! Except.... well.... when we examined his tushie there was evidence that he has a tapeworm. GROSS! :evil: so he also got a de-wormer to deal wit that. UGH UGH UGH. I HATE tapeworms.... I do believe we got lucky with this find, as there has been no evidence in his bedding, he does not have fleas, no signs in the LB etc etc etc... so I hope we caught it early. I will be checking the others too. Paws crossed! and yes - I still need to get him in for a cardio work-up to evaluate his heart murmur. Soon, I swear!
OK.... LOLA'S GRAND ADVENTURE!
:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :razz: :razz: :evil: :evil: :evil: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :shock: Lola and Bug have been with us for close to three months now. In that time we have not yet let them outdoors. Just precautions, and with Lola, well I just don't trust her to behave, follow the rules which are backyard only, and come in within a few minutes.... gee I wonder why! :lol: :lol: :lol: At first hey were begging to go out, but now they simply don't, and I had really thought they'd adjusted, were going to be indoor kitties. oh HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! Yesterday morning Lola took it upon herself to claw a hole in the screen door, make it big enough that it tore, giving her a hole big enough to get through. We were clueless she had done this (you couldn't see the tear: very clever Lola!) Mid morning we wondered where she as, searched EVERYWHERE, and thought she'd found a clever hidey spot. SILLY BEAN!!! LOL: I caught a glimpse of her outside frolicking in the yard. SO with much finesse (NOT) I got her back in. What a relief, I had not lost the cat. so............ within 5 minutes she was running to the screen door and flew through the opening. Silly beans till had not seen it. So back out I went again to round up the cat. :evil: :evil: :lol: :lol: Success as she was silly enough to stop for some grass munchies.... GOTCHA LOLA! Well, that was that and in she was. I went to go out the front door to get the paper,and little did I know Lola was stalking me.... OH OH! From the top of the stairs she flew down the stairs and out the front door, which was only open 3", before I Even knew she was there. Ok. SO off she went on a really cool grand adventure, and off I went to try and track her down, again... . Sh was off at warp speed: to the neighbors, down their driveway, to my back yard, back to the neighbors, in their house and out again, into all his flower beds, back to my yard, front and back, back to the neighbors, back to my back yard, where I eventually was able to capture the flying kitty. I think I got as much of a workout as she did! Cat chasing 101! I have never ever seen a cat that can run as fast as she can. It was incredible! She had the best of times, and spent the rest of the day (literally, all of it) trying to figure out how to get out for another adventure, running back and forth between the Windows and the doors, . :lol: :lol: :lol: By 5PM she had given up, collapsed in her kitty bed for a long needed nap.... well until 3AM when she decided the thundering herd needed to have a workout. :roll: OMG! WHAT A DAY!
And Elsa? missed the whole thing... sleeping in her bed. Good move Elsa!
Have a great day everyone. I'm not too sure what will be today. I hope for a hike, but will need to verify weather etc. Mt Baker is the destination. I remember the last one there, where I was rained on and fogged on etc so.... I'd like to make sure it won't be a repeat of that. :lol: ;-)
KITTIES! Remember: think BLUE, think GREEN!!
