It’s been VERY cold here the last several days – no surprise there I guess as it’s that time of the year, but it HAS put a crimp in my morning walks with Mom where I usually have some munches of grass before coming inside. For one thing the grass has leaves on top of it (Mom and Dad have slacked off with the leaf picking up stuff due to the cold) so I have to dig a bit to find the grass. For another, the wind has been howling out there in the dark (we’re usually out there around 4AM) and while Mom has on a parka, hat, gloves and boots, I’m freezing my “you know what” off. Hence, Mom’s decision today to get me a jacket or sweater. That’s right………..
Some of you may remember that my buddy Easy sent me a blue sweater a while back – it was just a tad too big for me but Mom thought I looked cute in it (why do Moms always think we look cute in EVERYTHING???)………….but it was a bit too big and when Mom put me on the floor with the sweater on I just stood there frozen in place like I couldn’t move. My sweater was ready to move but I wasn’t. She thinks if she gets me a small size (I’ve lost two pounds since I got the blue sweater) MAYBE I’ll wear it. SO, she looked at some possible things online.
I’m just not sure…….none of these are “grabbing me”………..I think some kind of snug fleece number might be “me” so the search continues. A guy needs to keep himself warm if he’s out braving the elements right?
I could use a sweater now….and maybe some skis????? Or maybe a ladder????
On another note, today is Monster Day so cleaning will be going on around here – with all the Christmas stuff all over the place it’s tough to clean. I especially worry about the vacuum cleaner sucking up all the presents under the tree! That would NOT be good…….so I’m going to be brave and keep an eye on the monster as it does its’ thing. If I have to throw myself in front of the vacuum and sacrifice myself for the sake of the presents – well – a guy has to do what a guy has to do!!!!!!
Happy Frosty Friday

Good luck finding a sweater Sammy, but have you heard that wearing clothes makes your bones disappear so you lay in a heap on the floor and won’t move.
I haven’t been out in the fields for a couple of weeks now, but I still go out in the garden. I have a very dense coat which keeps me warm, (it also helps to hide how skinny I am now).
Maybe your mum could do what my dad does when they go on holiday and I can’t get onto the grass. He digs up a turf of grass and puts it in a seed tray so I have got good established grass indoors to chomp on.

That’s a great idea…..I’ve seen a few of those online even but an old sweater of mine would be easy to cut up and sew some buttons on to work as a cape for Sammy – GREAT IDEA Layla! I also saw some cute little “indoors” t-shirts that actually are made for sphinx cats. I wonder if he’d like something like that too! I figured that many of the things that don’t fit “snugly” would be too confusing to wear – it needs to be snug but not tight.
