Death wish?

Very recently the Man-of-the-House appeared at the back door cradling a ball of fluff with a look that said 'Ah Em, look what I've got......I had to rescue it from a loveless home'

How could I say no?

So, may I introduce Holly The Christmas Kitten



But you see we already have a big cat, two dogs, two lizards, a fish and two children!

There have been some initial settling in issues. Lots of hissing and spitting from the big cat. Some stalking and a murderous glint in the eye of the small dog. The big dog, however, is as cool as a breeze.  Ollie seems to have adopted Holly the teeny interloper as his own and is keeping the other animals in line.

Actually, I've had to stop this crazy little critter from chasing our normally fearless terrier around the house.  The brazenness of youth ;o)

Needless to say there are lots of mad charges, giant leaps, tumbling and exploring.

It was highly entertained when she repeatedly tore around the living room at break neck speed, along the piano, the backs of the furniture before finally leaping with reckless abandon from the settee directly onto Him-Indoor, who apparently makes an excellent springboard to the rocking chair. He was not quite so entertained!

Of course my time has come too.

The universe must have balance.

Yes - Holly loves my knitting.

 

Tonight she chewed through my working yarn three times.

Not a good start to our friendship.

Just remember Holly, cuteness will only get you so far.........

Happy weekend all!

Edited:  Name suggestions would be appreciated please, she arrived as Holly but big dog is called Ollie and the name confusion is all getting too much for him...

Lost in Space

Isn't life funny!

I haven't signed up for it.

I haven't visited it.

I didn't even know it existed.

Yet...my little blog keeps getting referrals from a website for those looking for adult fun.  How disappointed they must be when they get here!!!!

But how am I connected to it?  No idea.  Bizarre.

I do confess to once signing up an ex-colleague up to an adults-only internet site, in reprisal for all of his practical jokes.  I called him Big-Red, he got LOTS of interesting offers from potential friends of every persuasion.  Unfortunately it didn't take him long to recognised my handiwork.  But seriously that was the only time I went near a site like that and it was years ago.....honestly!!

So people if you're here looking for some cyber action, you're in the wrong place.  Sorry about that.

However, feel free to peruse my crafty pictures, some of them kinda raw  ;o)
