Happy Saturday!
So, many of you asked if my Mom saw some paw prints on the driveway when she went outside this morning to check……nothing like a freshly re-sealed asphalt driveway for paw prints to show up the morning after the job’s done – right? WRONG. No paw prints – not a one – or as several people said “no pawtographs” ! In fact, the driveway is totally hard after a full day of sun yesterday and today. If only my Mom had let me outside yesterday I might have left my mark on posterity – something for the next owners of this house to wonder about – – – “who was that cat with the extra toes who left his pawtograph on our driveway???”…….Well, don’t worry – I’ll figure out some way to leave my mark behind – even if I have to carve my name in one of our big oaks with my claw…..
“Sammy Wuz Here”
Another thing I’ve been asked is what happened to that woods trail project your parents were working on?? Good question. Well, they got the trail cleared off, plants planted along the edges down into the woods by the swing and Dad was going to get stone either delivered to our house OR he was going to go get it himself and finish off the trail with stone. Nice huh? Well, that’s still on his “TO DO” list. Meanwhile, it’s still a nice trail and I still like to sit on the swing with my Mom on a hot day.
Uh Dad…..where’s the stone for the trail huh????……Hello – Dad????
Some of you may know that I have a frog friend named Freddy and I see him almost every time we’ve had rain – he comes out and sits on my front sidewalk. If Mom and I are out super early the morning after a rain he’s always there – like he’s waiting for me. Well, this morning, Mom went out on the front porch in the dark to give our neighborhood mooch Stevie some breakfast and there was Freddy up on my front porch!!!! Huh???? We didn’t have any rain last night but there was Freddy on my porch up by the front door. Good thing Mom didn’t step on him……Mom thinks maybe he came up there for the bugs who are attracted to our porch light. Maybe so, but I’m wondering if Freddy doesn’t want to become a “house frog” and move in?????
Freddy are you out there waiting for me??????
I’m not sure what we’ll be up to around here today but Saturdays usually aren’t very exciting. Mostly my parents just hang around and take it easy. One very good thing is that my Mom will be making breakfast soon and bacon is usually on the menu. I do like a bit of bacon……I’ll be sitting quietly and politely at her feet when she sits down at the breakfast table. If I behave very well, bacon will be on MY Saturday menu too! 😉
Got bacon?????
Hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!

I love bacon too, Sammy! When I was a little girl, going to visit my grandmother, the first thing I always asked for was bacon. And, being the good grandma she was, there was always some bacon left for me. Hope you get your treat today!

Good luck getting that bacon this morning, Sammy!! You won’t BELIEVE what Motor Man did just for me last night. Every Friday night, they stop at Arby’s and get a roast beef sandwich for Motor Man’s dad (he’s 90!). Last night, Motor Man brought me my very own junior roast beef! Motor Mommy put it in a zip-lock, so now I’m guarding the fridge!
Happy Saturday – gonna be busy around here!

I think that would be pretty neat if you ended up having a frog brother livin’ in the house with you. Not many cats have that, you know. And guess what? I sometimes see frogs here at my house too and… the peep calls them Freddy as well. Actually, she calls them Freddy Frew! They all get called that. Boy frogs, girl frogs, doesn’t matter. Hmm… and I’m a boy named Nerissa… I’m beginning to see a pattern developing here… I should blog ’bout that! What do you think?

Sparkle I think you need to stage some kind of protest over the lack of bacon in your house….just because those humans you live with don’t eat it (and they’re probably very smart for NOT eating it!!), doesn’t mean they couldn’t get YOU some as a treat. Bacon is – well – rather indescribable. True I can only eat a tiny bit of it but it’s crunchy and salty and incredibly yummy. I suggest you go hang a sign on your litter box saying something like “wanna see me make a deposit? Then I’ll see you at the breakfast table in the morning for some bacon!”…… tee hee
