Old Gray Cat Lou here:

Today, my little brofur (the 'not smart' one) and my little doggy sisfur did do crimez while I was napping and Mama was having a headache.

They did do unauthorized widdles on the brand new pet mats that Mama just stitched up for them and they did not tell Daddy that they widdled. The pet mats are for dirt and mud and rain..not norty widdles.

Widdles are only authorized to be done outside (doggy) or in the box (kitty).

Mama found out about the norty widdling when she got out of bed after having had a headache. She was not amused.

The mats are going through the wash now.

Go crimez!

Hi, my name is Astra. I'm Old Gray Cat Lou's younger doggy sister. I'm a Cattle Dog mix, about 3-4 years old, although, me being a rescue doggy, no one really knows for sure.

I was a scared baby girl tripawd doggo for a long time. Suddenly, it clicked for me that life as a loved pet was really not so bad, so, I recently decided to show my Mama my true colors as a crackhead..er..Cattle Dog.

I was snuggling on the bed with Mama, when I heard a noise on the other end of the house. So I thought that was a good time to show Mama that I'd gone from scared baby girl, to Little Miss Athletic.

I flung myself off the bed like I was practicing to be a doggy superhero, banked off in midair to

Things are looking up a little. I found a place that would be absolutely divine to base the business I'm starting, and that would be so good for me and the pets, etc.

Now to gather the money to make it happen.

Well..my Substack seems to be growing, subscriber and follower-wise. I'm reconnecting with one of my favorite old bosses. I'm also reconnecting with my body, and my attitude, and generally feeling betterish.

But, the rest of my life seems to be all about the purging of all sorts of things. I've got things going to charity today that I haven't pulled out and thought of in years. You know the things..costume jewelry from the 80's, so-called 'professional' clothes that my mother insisted I had to have, even though they're not even close to my style.

So there is that.

Onward and forward!

Still making good progress in the war against the fleas. For this I am grateful. Making some progress on followers of my Substack. It's slow though. Still, I am grateful.

In addition to quilting, writing, photography, and adventuring with the dogs, I am feeling called to work with leather, making various hip bags (some would call them 'medicine bags'). I find this surprisingly fun and, leather work, done right, pays nicely, which I appreciate.

Now, for the ask. It came to my attention this morning, that something is way off in my neighborhood/relationship/what-have-you. It became unnervingly obvious that the best thing I can do, with grace and ease, is to cut and clear myself, my pet

I just wanted to say thank you for the Wednesday wish.

I had wished for the flea issue I've been having, to go away.

While it's not perfect (yet), the numbers have gone down appreciatively, for which I am very grateful for the progress.

Again, thank you. And may all of the fleas, just go!!

I have a question about how to communicate with a mentally disabled kitty. Cooper is very sweet, but he is 'not smart', and will never really grow up. Thanks and BB.

My tripawd Baby Girl Dog..oh my.

Today I was doing some housework. Baby Girl Dog decided that it would be a good idea to help with the sweeping, to make sure that the dust pile stayed right in the place that I'd put it, and that the dust pile didn't get up to any funny business.

She kept the dust pile penned in to where I'd put it, while I went to go get the dust pan.

For this, she got a ' good girl; good job!' and a 'Thank you; that'll do!'

Since there isn't much of anything small to herd here, and the cats will tell her 'no, ma'am!' when it comes to herding them, I think she's ready for a job other than modeling dog clothes in still photos; so might be time to try modeling doggy adv
