Staying Cool

The summer weather has finally arrived here in the Pacific Northwest. It is usually short lived so people don’t bother much wasting money on air conditioning. We tough out the hot days with fans and hiding in the shadows. Today Scooby found a direct line with a fan and is having his nap as the fan sweeps back and forth keeping us all alive another day. (Note: a month ago Scooby had a large harmless tumour removed from the base of his tail. The tail hair has not all grown back yet. He is fine. ) NEXT post Saturday 1 August.

Happy 7th Blogversary to us here on WordPress. How the time flies by. I have done many different blogs many places but this is the only one left and the blog of longest duration.Thought I would throw a few photos up today both new and old, but first a little reminiscing. When this blog began here in 2013, there were three cats: Zeke, Opie, and Marigold. October 2015 Scooby joined the gang as the fourth.

Sadly in January 2019 Marigold died and we were back to three, so in the 7 year run here, she was the only casualty for which we are very thankful. Let’s look at some new and old photos through the years here today. If you remember the old ones, you are an old timer!

Happy Birthday Zeke (11 years). Once again I cannot believe another birthday has rolled around. We are thankful for them all. I cannot believe you are this old either! You were born to two feral cats and lived in a flowerpot on a neighbor’s porch. You were called “Mop” as they would chase you out their front door when you sneaked in with a mop! They wanted me to take you but I already had five cats and did not want another. Finally I agreed and I am glad I did! Today I shall post some older photos of you to remember some of the good old days.

Focus on Zeke

Focus on Zeke is a series of exclusive photos of Zeke at home. He has much of his playtime devoted to playing with Scooby or bothering Opie, but today we will simply highlight solo photos of Zeke. My favorites are 1, 9, and 10. What are your favorites? Next post will be Christine’s Calendar Cat for July 2020. Wonder who it is?
