Monday Musings ~ October 21, 2024

Good Monday morning, peeps. Welcome to Monday. While it seems as if everyone is just trying to get through the election, do you realize there are only 71 days left this year. Don’t know about you but that is somewhat alarming. Where has this year gone?

Monday smile

It should be noted that Wilson is a bit of a cheapskate when it comes to tips. He can’t seem to help but lick his bowl spotlessly clean for all meals. I guess not sweeping up bits and bobs of crumbs is my tradeoff for actual tips. There’s no doubt he’s quite the neatnik when it comes to not leaving morsels of food on the floor. If only he could be convinced to wipe off his nose prints on the front door.

Wishing you a spotless Monday.

Live, love, bark! 🐾

  1. BellaDharma an BellaSita Mum – On Georgian Bay..... – Welcome to THE Purrfect Pad. My name is Sherri-Ellen & my current Kitty Girl is BellaDharma a black part Siamese cat. I started blogging in August 2005 on Yahoo 360 with Mingflower my Bluepoint Siamese. Then transferred to Multiply...Mingflower went to Summerland & NYLABLUE my BluePoint Siamese/Burmese cross took over. When Multiply was closing a handful of our blogging friends recommended WordPress & we found a home here & made many new friends. Everyone followed the antics & struggles of NYLABLUE until her passing Nov. 22nd, 2014 to Summerland. A week later a little bouncing Burmese boy I met at a local adoption event joined me here! Dec. 9th, 2014. Purrince Siddhartha Henry came to live with me & regaled us with his journey towards 'Enlightenment'. He was a Burmese Buddhist with many health issues but he searched for meaning in his Life. After his lifelong struggle with Panleukopenia. Siddhartha Henry lost his battle & left for Pure Land August 28th, 2018. He was only 4 years & 1 month old. I've never totally gotten over the loss of my "Little Man". And this is where I get VERY serious. This Purrfect Pad blog is not all sunshine & roses. This blog is about REAL life with special needs cats who come into my life. We share our time together & we share the good, the bad & the ugly. This is a REAL blog. Yes we DO laugh & have fun & take Selfies! And we share each cat's struggles whether health issues or behavioural problems. And we share about my ongoing battle with 3 health conditions that can render me unable to walk plus having Cirrhosis of Liver & Seizures. We ask our friends & followers to respect that THE Purrfect Pad is anything but 'purrfect'. I am disabled & each of my cats' have had special needs. Everyone is welcome here as long as you are kind & respectful. If you have questions feel free to ask them. Sept. 6th, 2018 BellaDharma aka Baby Girl joined THE Purrfect Pad. We hope all of you will follow our life together as BellaDharma learns how to be a domesticated cat instead of a semi-feral one.... Love, Peace & Treets, Sherri-Ellen (BellaSita Mum) & BellaDharma & 'angels' Purrince Siddhartha Henry; Nylablue 'Sweet Feet' & Mingflower the Merciless & all my other cats who have shared my life with me. You are all loved & remembered...

      Thanks, Paul. We’re all a bit nervous about the elections and hope for everyone’s sake sanity prevails. Stay well and keep smiling.

  3. At our house, Olivia goes around and cleans all our food bowls and the floor around them after every meal. Nothing is wasted here! Mom says it was the other day that she was trying to remember to write 2024 and now it is practically over. Crazy.

      We had that happen to us recently. Out of the blue, and for some inexplicable reason, she wrote a year long gone. Talk about a brain hiccup! Here’s to clean bowls every year!

  4. thomasstigwikman – Dallas, Texas – My name is Thomas Wikman. I am a software/robotics engineer with a background in physics. I am currently retired. I took early retirement. I am a dog lover, and especially a Leonberger lover, a home brewer, craft beer enthusiast, I’m learning French, and I am an avid reader. I live in Dallas, Texas, but I am originally from Sweden. I am married to Claudia, and we have three children. I have two blogs. The first feature the crazy adventures of our Leonberger Le Bronco von der Löwenhöhle as well as information on Leonbergers. The second blog, superfactful, feature information and facts I think are very interesting. With this blog I would like to create a list of facts that are accepted as true among the experts of the field and yet disputed amongst the public or highly surprising. These facts are special and in lieu of a better word I call them super-facts.

      Hahahaha! Good point. I’ve often thought I should have renamed Wilson…Dyson or Hoover. He inhales his food!

      Too often it disintegrates when you’ve stepped on it and then you have to get out the vacuum to clean it up. Ugh, indeed. There’s more than enough housecleaning as it is when you have dogs. 😁

          Well that’s one way of looking at it. 😉

  8. sounds like my lab… but he also might remember going hungry before he moved to the ranch. Milo is like my other poodle, eats when hungry, ignores it otherwise. The little fat poodles you see must be eating a lot of treats, he’d eat a treat to excess!

      All of my poodles have been grazers too. Dogs like Wilson on the other hand eat like they haven’t had a meal in days. 😉

          Oh my gosh! That’s wild. And very clever. I cannot even imagine trying to groom a poodle like that. Elsa would have a fit! 😁 Thanks for sharing.

          1. Yeah, definitely not for the Ninja! His poodle is clearly VERY patient to deal with all those hours of grooming.

              I’ve owned poodles since the 70’s. Not one of them would ever tolerate that kind of grooming and fussing! 🤣

  10. John W. Howell – South Texas Gulf Coast – I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.
    John W. Howell says:

    We are blessed with a couple of neat-niks too, Monika. They would never allow a piece of food to remain. They are also nose print artists like Wilson. I don’t think that is ever going to stop. I hope you and the ranch hands have a lovely week.

      It sure tickled our funny bone this morning.

  11. I guess consider yourself lucky, no fuss and no post meal mess. My girls, being Golden Retrievers, leave nary a gram of food on the floor or their bowls. Koda actually does a good mop up on both bowls leaving them spotless without any evidence there was a meal served in them. So I guess I too am lucky. On the other hand Kloe often approaches me for a post meal kiss and burps in my face so I’ve got that going for me too. 🙃. Have a great week at the ranch. Ear scratches to the diners in your doggie cafe!

      Wilson is like that. Course he does look like a mop sometimes so I guess that makes sense. LOL Have a great Monday, Mike.

  12. Wilson is like my Chia, Lucy and Xena. They each lick their bowl clean, then go around licking each other’s bowls, too! And I don’t feed near a wall, so that doesn’t happen, but I do have to wash Xena’s beard frequently!

      Many thanks, Sandee. That cartoon describes dogs to a tee. Sam was a big tipper-he would never eat food that he himself pulled from his bowl. Used to crack me up.
