Winter fashion / first snow with Scooby

In this post Scooby models the latest winter fashion.

A while back Scooby got a new (dog) coat, and today he wears it with his new snowman hat. It has holes for the ears, and flaps that go over them. There are a few adjustment problems as it falls over his eyes sometimes or goes sideways, but he does not care. He is just happy to be walking outside. This is the first time he has been in the snow since he moved in with me. I do not know if he experienced any in his previous life. He was definitely an indoor cat, so I doubt it. So, let us get on with the show.

New cat calendars

Every year a good friend, Christine who writes Spike the Scottish Black Cat, sends me a calendar made with photos from this blog. I am ready for 2017 as we have received yet another wonderful calendar. In the photo below is last years and this new years. Scooby did not appear in last years calendar, but he is amply represented this year. Thank you!

Today I will throw in a bonus photo of Marigold and Zeke resting. They do more resting than anything else! Next post will be an exclusive Scooby Feature!

Finally, I discovered WP added a new Google translate widget! I had an old translate widget I made with great effort, which I have replaced with the new one–top right. You might want to get one for yourself. =^,^=

Deer problem continued (2)

This post is about Scooby and the deer again.

Yesterday, described in the last post, Scooby saw the deer again. All day long he ran around the house from window to window. He would climb all over everything, knocking things down. He would pee in the house. He would not eat or sleep, until about 7 pm when he was tired out. Then he ate and fell asleep on the rug. Earlier, after reading some comments, I sprayed Feliway, which I forgot I had, all over the house. I tried using it before to calm him but it had little effect. I will try again today.

Deer problems return

I had been spending a lot of time chasing the deer out of the backyard. It is the same animal family. I recognize them. The problem is not that they do anything bad out there, but that Scooby is terrified of them and is crazy for the next 24 hours. They have not been back for a while. Unfortunately he saw them before me, and crazy day begins. Here is a photo of three cats at the top of the stair looking down at a window with a deer view. Here is also a photo of the deer–again. It is 20 degrees C outside, and I decided to see if Scooby can “man up” and I shall not chase them away. He needs to get used to them. I shall see how it goes. A snowstorm is supposed to blow in tonight but we shall see.
