Well that was gross, saw something dangling off Tiki's tail and of course I couldn't just leave it there so I pulled it off bare handed and it turned out to be a dingle ball wrapped around her hair on her tail! Lordy, I have NEVER had a cat that was such a mess with those dang dingle balls. AND she's the second cat of that breed I've had and my Dillar was never so messy

 

@jillar Quit playing with dingle balls😂😂

What breed of cat is she?

I have to say I can sympathize, two furry dogs and they will get the dingle balls. I try to stay ahead of it and I shave their butts around there.  As long as I get that done there is not problem, fall behind.  but if if don't it don't fall behind..

@Linda, she's a Norwegian Forest kitty

@jillar She's beautiful, dingle balls and all!!😂😂 Reminds me, my other dog I had me not knowing

ate one of my mothers knee high nylons. I let her out to go potty and I noticed she was spinning

around acting crazy when I went out I'm like what the heck is hanging from her butt  it was the knee

high that I had to pull off !!! Yuck. I was lucky she passed it when I talked to my vet. Animals so much

fun.😂😂

@jillar she is beautiful, the only reason I do not own a cat is my son and I are both allergic.  @Linda, I must confess there have been times I had to pull something out of the dogs bottoms, I thiink they were my sons socks.  Since he moved out I have not had to do that.  My poor sister has a dog that she has to clean his bottom everytime he goes.  Whoever docked his tail messed up his whole back end.  Can you imagine a dog yelling "i'm done, come wipe my butt"

@Kris and @Linda, my Dillar the one Tiki looks like swallowed a rubber band that I saw about a quarter inch of poking out. Imagine how fun that was to pull out😂😂

Oh my god, was it one of the red rubber bands? I would think it might be part of an instestine or something.  I would be to afraid.  I would have spent 400 at the emergency vet just to have them laugh in my face but they would still want the money.

No it was a green one from the newspaper. Easily recognizable😂😂

Just a side note for you that missed dinner, I think I am getting my mojo back, probably the best lasagna I have cooked in ten years.  Guess that happens when your sadness takes a day off and let's you be happy in the kitchen.

@Kris Sorry my flight was late and I missed dinner😂😂

Thats okay, I knew the weather was bad.  If has forced me to watch a netflix show set in Sweden, I think, hard to keep up with the subtitles, but there is snow.

Enjoying the rain!!!! It's been raining all night and suppose to rain off and on through the new year and I could not be happier for our lakes and lands  

Well @jillar you enjoy the rain, because it is snowing here and

I am not enjoying that.😂😂

Oh yea @Linda, I would not enjoy that either! But hey, you'll get a white Christmas so don't forget to make a dirty snowman or snow angel or something lol 🤣

55 degrees and sunny here.  Temperatures are forecasted to reach 70 degrees on Christmas day.

 

Nice weather, but any semblance of a white Christmas is going to require a trip to the hardware store.

@Boo When my son was small (mind you, he is now 33, with a family of his own) Our city would do such amazing things at Christmas, they would bring in a company that made snow and give the kids a white Christmas to build snowmen. make snow angels and have snow ball fights.  The parents enjoyed it just as much.  Other years bring in musicians to play Christmas songs and people that made true kettle corn at the tree lighting. There was a church that did a live nativity, with all the animals and the children were welcome to come up and pet them.  They also had nights at the church for the whole community regardless of religous affiliation where their choir preformed. Those are things you should seek out for your daughter and son. And you Mr. Boocluase can still go to the hardware store and build all the brilliant things that come to you!

Thinking about this little man, my newest grandson, Sage, who is half Japanese, and just as cute as can be:
